Chapter 247: Chapter 246: [Qi Ruxue’s Love Offensive]No matter whether this big bad guy loves me or not, I, Qi Ruxue, have fallen for him, and I’m determined to pursue him. I will do my utmost to capture his heart! Sёarᴄh the nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. This was the resolution Qi Ruxue made in her heart. It’s true that she had the reserve and shyness of a girl, but having received a higher education abroad, Qi Ruxue deeply understood a principle: Life is short, and it’s rare to find someone who moves your heart. Especially for a woman, who often endures more than men do, and with youth lasting only about a decade, why wait to pursue your own happiness? Ever since the incident at the Qin family’s home, when Ye Tianchen bravely burst in alone to rescue her from danger, Qi Ruxue’s heart had melted. Gradually, she realized that at some point, she had changed her mind about Ye Tianchen. Now, she found him quite endearing—even though he could sometimes be like a rogue or the Death God, unromantic and not very emotionally intelligent. Yet, he had this manly side that showed in the most critical moments. Qi Ruxue knew that she may be seeing him through rose-colored glasses, but she also had a stubborn streak. Once she set her mind on something, she wouldn’t give up on it easily. At that moment, Luo Yan was warmly greeting Qi Ruxue. One reason was that guests deserved a warm welcome, and another was that deep down, Luo Yan really hoped Qi Ruxue would become her daughter-in-law. Beyond Qi Ruxue’s talents, both in social settings and in the kitchen, she also had the looks and the figure highly likely to bear a son, an aspect Luo Yan valued—not out of traditional thinking, but as a descendant of a major family, she inevitably wished for a son to continue the business. Most importantly, during Qi Ruxue’s stay at the Ye family villa, she got along swimmingly with both Luo Yan and Ye Qianwen. The three women often went shopping and chatting together, forming a close bond that was truly rare. "Ruxue, don’t be polite. Please have a seat. I’m really embarrassed to have you cook as soon as you arrived... Qianwen, you are becoming more and more unreasonable..." Luo Yan said to Qi Ruxue with a smile. "Auntie, please don’t be so formal with me. I came to see you all this time, to thank you for taking me in before. I’ve brought gifts for you and Sister Qianwen. I bought you a pair of shoes. Could you try them on to see if they fit?" As she spoke, Qi Ruxue took out a shoebox and, with a smile, handed it to Luo Yan. "How... How could I accept this?" Luo Yan really did feel a bit embarrassed. Not to mention that the pair of shoes Qi Ruxue had given to her was worth at least tens of thousands, but the thoughtfulness behind the gift also touched her. Finding such a polite and sensible young person nowadays was truly not easy. "Mom, don’t be so formal. Sister Ruxue is not a stranger, and besides, Sister Ruxue is way more generous than that stingy miser. Even as the Chairman of Sea King Group, he hasn’t even bought you or me a single thing. He’s just too stingy. I feel plunged into endless darkness at the thought of having such a penny-pinching big brother..." By the end of her rant, Ye Qianwen had made a face as if she was about to cry, which made both Luo Yan and Qi Ruxue struggle not to laugh. Sometimes, when Ye Tianchen and Ye Qianwen, this pair of siblings, started to act up, they could be pretty funny. "Qianwen, you’re not allowed to talk about your brother like that. You know your brother’s EQ is pretty low, and he can be quite careless. You’re well aware of that..." Qi Ruxue glanced at her daughter Ye Qianwen with disapproval while speaking somewhat irritably. "I know, I know. I won’t talk about your precious son anymore. Only I, the daughter, have a hard life, with no one to dote on me..." Ye Qianwen made a face at her mother Luo Yan and chuckled. "Auntie, don’t be so hard on Sister Qianwen. Try the shoes on to see if they fit, and let me know if you like them so I can exchange them if necessary!" Qi Ruxue said with a smile. "Alright, I’ll go try them on. You chat with Qianwen in the meantime!" Luo Yan also replied with a smile. "Forget it. Sister Ruxue came to see my brother, not this unlucky girl. I’ll just snack on some chips to stave off the hunger and watch some TV!" Ye Qianwen said with a mischievous smile. Hearing Ye Qianwen’s words, Qi Ruxue’s beautiful face blushed. She was indeed here specifically to see Ye Tianchen. Buying gifts for Luo Yan and Ye Qianwen was just a convenient gesture. Her true purpose was Ye Tianchen—since they had parted ways at the Qin family’s place, he hadn’t come to see her, and his phone was unreachable. So Qi Ruxue couldn’t help but come to the Ye family’s home. "This girl... Ruxue, don’t pay attention to the nonsense Qianwen is spouting. Tianchen is probably sneaking food in the kitchen. Go supervise him, otherwise he’ll eat up everything and leave us nothing for dinner..." Luo Yan said, feigning seriousness. "Alright, Auntie, I promise to complete the mission!" Qi Ruxue replied joyfully as she stood up and walked towards the kitchen. Watching Qi Ruxue happily head for the kitchen, Luo Yan, holding the shoebox and ready to try on her new shoes, swiftly approached her daughter Ye Qianwen. At the same time, Ye Qianwen set down her bag of chips and, as if by telepathy, joined her mother. Luo Yan and Ye Qianwen, this mother-daughter duo, looked like sneaky thieves, cautiously watching Qi Ruxue’s tall figure and the movements in the kitchen, both with expressions full of secrecy, quite comedic and quirky. "Qianwen, when did your sister Ruxue come, and what for?" Luo Yan asked quietly. "Mom, aren’t you just playing dumb? It’s pretty obvious that sister Ruxue is here for my brother. She’s launching a love offensive; it really took me by surprise. Considering my brother, who is so insensitive and has an EQ below zero, to actually be liked by such a great beauty like sister Ruxue, has the sun been rising from the west lately?" Ye Qianwen said with a serious expression. "You little girl, don’t talk about your brother like that. Do you think Ruxue will be successful? Will your brother fall in love with your sister Ruxue?" Luo Yan asked worriedly. Ye Qianwen looked at her mom and struck a pose like a little adult, seemingly an expert in matters of love, and analyzed seriously, "That’s hard to say. By my brother’s standards, he likes women with big butts. His room used to be filled with pictures of women with big butts. As for sister Ruxue’s butt, there’s no problem there, it’s big enough. But it seems there have been several women entangled with my brother lately, like Sister Feifei and Sister Yuxun, especially that number one beauty of Capital City, Liu Rumei..." "I would prefer any of the first three to be my daughter-in-law over Liu Rumei having anything to do with your brother," Luo Yan said seriously. "Mom, I know you have a big bias against Liu Rumei because of what happened in the past. I don’t like her either, but you can’t just write someone off like that, right?" Ye Qianwen said with a smile. "Qianwen, you’re all wrong. Mom isn’t petty. Regardless of what exactly happened in the past, your brother was the one who peeped at Liu Rumei bathing, and that was his fault. He deserved a little punishment. It’s not because of the past that I absolutely won’t allow your brother to have anything to do with Liu Rumei. It’s that in this world, the more beautiful a woman is, the more trouble she brings and the more likely she is to cause a man’s downfall. ’Beauty is a man’s doom,’ as the saying goes," Luo Yan said, shaking her head. "So that’s it... I really hope brother never has anything to do with Liu Rumei again, to avoid any trouble!" Normally, Ye Tianchen and his sister Ye Qianwen would play and joke around, but the siblings were extremely close. In critical moments like these, Qianwen naturally wouldn’t want her brother to be in any trouble. "That’s why I hope your brother can get married soon. That way, not only will mom be relieved of a big worry, but it will also protect your brother from some temptations!" Luo Yan nodded as she spoke. "Don’t worry, Mom. Since you also like sister Ruxue so much, and I think she’d make a great sister-in-law, let’s play matchmaker between brother and sister Ruxue. Let’s get this EQ-negative guy to open his eyes!" Ye Qianwen said with a lively and cute smile. "You little imp, you’re always so clever. Tell me the truth, what did your sister Ruxue buy for you?" Luo Yan was a very clever woman; she just hadn’t had a chance to show it, being a housewife most of the time. "Mom, you’re too smart. How did you guess? Look at this..." Ye Qianwen proudly showed off to her mom the silver jewelry on her right hand, a trendy and fashionable piece sure to catch people’s eyes. "That jewelry must be worth at least ten thousand; be careful not to damage it..." Luo Yan reminded her daughter, although the Ye family wasn’t short on money, they always prioritized frugality. Thus, Luo Yan was quite surprised by the valuable gift Qi Ruxue had given to Ye Qianwen. "What are you talking about? Your pair of leather shoes are imported from France, costing this much..." Ye Qianwen said as she held up the fingers of her right hand. Luo Yan paused for a moment and then spoke seriously to her daughter Ye Qianwen, "We accept Ruxue’s gifts so as not to offend her, but remember to take good care of them. If things don’t work out between sister Ruxue and your brother, we can’t keep any of it, understand?" "Got it, Mom. I understand," Ye Qianwen said with a sweet smile. At that moment, in the kitchen, Ye Tianchen, who had prepared a big bowl of beef stew with radishes and was thoroughly enjoying it, couldn’t stop smiling. No matter what, he had to admit that Qi Ruxue’s cooking skills were truly excellent. The beef stew with radishes smelled great and tasted even better, with the beef so tender and the soup refreshing. It was incredibly satisfying. Returning home, Ye Tianchen naturally wasn’t very cautious nor did he use his Superpower Perception. This was his home, and he simply wouldn’t do that here. Most importantly, his mind was entirely occupied by the beef stew with radishes. Hence he didn’t notice Qi Ruxue approaching from behind as he continued to savor the delicious beef. (To be continued.
