Chapter 195: Chapter 195: The Battle for Qiaoqiao Chapter 195: Chapter 195: The Battle for Qiaoqiao Lan Qingran walked in furiously, standing in front of Nan Qiao, struggling to restrain his emotions. “Jingjing, you can’t be with him,” Lan Qingran said angrily. Li Yehan, “I am with Qiaoqiao, what does it have to do with you?” Lan Qingran didn’t respond to Li Yehan but looked at Nan Qiao, squatting down to meet her gaze, “Jingjing, he must know your identity and approached you on purpose. Jingjing, you’re too naive, you’ve been deceived by him. Jingjing, don’t be with him.” Through Lan Qingran’s emotions, Nan Qiao began to believe what Li Yehan had said. Lan Qingran was too agitated, leaving her somewhat defenseless. Still, Nan Qiao spoke up, “Brother Qingran, things are not as complicated as you think. I’m with him because I saved his grandfather, and that’s how we met. Before this, he didn’t know my identity, and I didn’t know his, with no vested interests between us.” Lan Yi had been silent all along, for he had long known about Lan Qingran’s feelings for Nan Qiao. He stayed quiet, uncertain about who to advise. It seemed that Nan Qiao acknowledged Li Yehan and didn’t fancy Lan Qingran. A melon forced off its vine is not sweet! “Qingran, please sit down and let’s talk this out,” Lan Yi finally spoke. Suddenly, Lan Qingran grabbed Nan Qiao’s hand, “Jingjing, don’t go with him, he’s deceiving you!” Li Yehan seized Lan Qingran’s wrist with such strength he seemed ready to shatter his arm. Nan Qiao struggled, her expression urgent, compelling Lan Qingran to let go of her hand, not wanting to anger her. “Lan Qingran, Qiaoqiao is my girlfriend, please show some respect!” Had it not been in front of Nan Qiao, Li Yehan would have thrown a punch long ago to bring Lan Qingran to his senses. Lan Yi stood up, pulling Lan Qingran aside, and said with a smile to Li Yehan and Nan Qiao, “Jingjing, your brother just hasn’t come to terms with you having a boyfriend yet. It’s not just him; I can’t either. Our own precious cabbage unexpectedly got claimed; who could accept that, right?” Li Yehan, “...” Li Yehan, not annoyed, looked at Nan Qiao with an indulging gaze, “Meeting Qiaoqiao is the biggest blessing of my life.” Lan Qingran sat down, his expression stern, his teeth itching with irritation. He never imagined that his Jingjing would have a boyfriend! It was his fault for not confessing his feelings earlier, allowing Li Yehan to beat him to it. If he had confessed first, Jingjing... Lan Qingran dared not continue the thought, fearing the outcome, afraid Jingjing would reject him, not wanting to associate with him any longer. Not being able to be lovers, not even staying friends, was such a hard pill to swallow. Lan Qingran, fearing to make Nan Qiao uncomfortable, and the thought of Li Yehan being with Qiaoqiao only darkened his mood. Lan Qingran remained silent, fearing that his words would upset Nan Qiao and make her ignore him. Having calmed himself down, Lan Qingran heard Li Yehan say, “Uncle Lan, we must leave for Jing City today. There are some matters there that need our attention, especially Qiaoqiao; the company needs her input.” Lan Qingran, “Jingjing, didn’t you still want to go out to sea with me?” Li Yehan, “Qiaoqiao doesn’t have the time; she must be busy. You have time; you can go out to sea by yourself!” Wanting to go out to sea with Qiaoqiao, Lan Qingran had better go dream about it; dreams have everything. Lan Qingran, “I’m asking Jingjing, not you, shut your mouth!” Lan Qingran turned to Nan Qiao, his eyes filled with hope, looking as pitiful and helpless as an abandoned puppy. Nan Qiao sighed inwardly, “Okay, we’ll go out to sea in the morning and come back in the afternoon. I’ll take the evening flight out.” Li Yehan, “Qiaoqiao, I’ll accompany you.” Lan Qingran, “No! I don’t welcome you; there’s no need for you to go!” Li Yehan, “I’m talking to Qiaoqiao, not you; shut your mouth.” Everyone, “...” Nan Qiao couldn’t help but laugh and cry; was Li Yehan mimicking Lan Qingran? Lan Qingran was speechless; Li Yehan was such a shameless man, his skin was indeed thick! Lan Yi listened as they spoke, incessantly munching on melon seeds. “Alright, let’s all go together.” Once Lan Yi had spoken, Lan Qingran wanted to refuse but couldn’t find the words to do so. Thus, the four of them set out to sea together. ... This was the only time Nan Qiao had ventured out to sea, a place where she felt torn between the left and right. Lan Qingran went into the sea to catch big crabs because Nan Qiao loved to eat them. He presented them to Nan Qiao as if offering treasures, and received high praise from her. Li Yehan also went to catch seafood, and the two of them were in such fierce competition that Lan Yi couldn’t believe his eyes. “Jingjing, I had no idea you could even win over Xiao Yan.” Nan Qiao shyly said, “When I met him, I didn’t know he was Xiao Yan; he has different identities in Jing City. In the end, it must be fate.” Lan Yi added, “Jingjing, you need to be cautious. Xiao Yan’s identity isn’t so simple, and he has many enemies. If people find out that you are his girlfriend, you’ll definitely face a lot of dangers.” Regarding this, Nan Qiao didn’t seem to mind but was rather calm. “Master, I have quite a few enemies myself. Li Yehan being my boyfriend will also bring him into danger. We’re both the same kind of people.” It was precisely for this reason that Nan Qiao was not afraid. Li Yehan and Lan Qingran, who had emerged from the water, both heard Nan Qiao’s firm attitude, and disappointment filled Lan Qingran’s eyes. Li Yehan’s expression brightened as if he had won several billion; his lips curved into a smile. ... After sailing for several hours, the group returned to Shui Jing Island where they enjoyed a rich seafood feast. Lan Qingran even cooked dishes that Nan Qiao loved, using fresh ingredients specially transported to the island for her. Nan Qiao savored her meal, while Lan Yi and Lan Qingran, used to eating seafood, were not so keen. Li Yehan skillfully peeled shrimps and crabs, placing the meat onto the plate in front of Nan Qiao, as if he often did this kind of thing. Lan Qingran also helped peel shrimps and prepare crabs for Nan Qiao, fiercely competing with Li Yehan. Eventually, Nan Qiao couldn’t eat anymore. “Stop peeling, I’m full. If I eat any more, I’ll be sick.” Li Yehan removed his gloves and wiped his hands with a wet wipe, heeding Nan Qiao’s words attentively. Lan Qingran had no choice but to follow suit and stopped peeling shrimp, pouring Nan Qiao a glass of soda instead. Lan Qingran’s emotions were erupting inside him like a volcano, turbulent and overpowering, but in the end, he could only glare fiercely at Li Yehan. Li Yehan pretended not to notice and continued speaking with Nan Qiao. Seeing this, Lan Yi understood that Lan Qingran had no chance of catching up with Jingjing. The precious cabbage was destined to be harvested by Li Yehan. Although Lan Yi was reluctant and hoped Jingjing would stay on Shui Jing Island, he had to respect Jingjing’s wishes. Li Yehan said, “Uncle Lan, we’re going to leave now. The plane is ready; we’re heading back.” Lan Qingran: “Jingjing, can’t you stay a couple more days? Once you go, who knows when you’ll be able to come back.” Lan Qingran was feeling very conflicted; he really didn’t want Nan Qiao to leave with Li Yehan. Li Yehan didn’t deserve Nan Qiao’s love. Li Yehan replied coldly, “No, Qiaoqiao will leave with me.” Lan Qingran: “I wasn’t asking you, I’m asking Jingjing! Jingjing hasn’t replied yet; what right do you have to answer for her!” After saying this, Lan Qingran looked at Nan Qiao, waiting for her response.
