How could someone as heartless as you ever understand my kindness?
Kidnapping me was indeed quite effective.
Likewise, didn’t you also conspire against me with that wild man? Guan Su Lin withdrew his hand, calmly slipping it into his pocket.
Zheng Mengni lightly sighed, “Then let’s get on with it. But I won’t generously give you what belongs to me. Considering your relationship, if you ever need my help in the future, I can assist you, as long as it’s not illegal or immoral; I won’t refuse.”
Guan Su Lin raised his hand to his lips and chuckled softly, “You don’t think losing these two inheritances would cause me immeasurable loss, do you?”
Zheng Zheng interjected, “Ah, don’t underestimate me. After all, I have a strong desire to win; the more you look down on me, the more motivation it gives me.”
Zheng Mengni smiled beautifully, “Alright then, I look forward to your performance.”
Guan Su Lin suddenly asked, “You want it, right? Then what am I doing here?”
“I will come to find you,” he said seriously, with a hint of obsession in his tone.
Zheng Mengni spoke softly, “You can seek me out, but don’t use those disappointing methods again.”
Guan Su Lin grinned, “Don’t misunderstand; I’m really not that kind of person. Truly.”
With Guan Su Lin's consent, Guan Yao's assistance, and Ye Bingran's personal escort, Zheng Mengni boarded a flight and left the country the next morning.
Tan Yan knew that he couldn’t selfishly keep Zheng Mengni by his side when he lacked the strength to do so. She deserved a brighter future and should soar towards broader horizons.
Before she left, Tan Yan privately met with Ye Bingran, removing his blindfold and presenting himself in the most dazzling manner to confront this rival who made him feel uneasy.
Instinctively aware of the competitive nature between males, Tan Yan realized that with someone like Ye Bingran around Zheng Mengni, it was highly likely that Ye Bingran would seize the opportunity to win her over while he was still unable to return home.
Ye Bingran remained calm and composed, not regarding Tan Yan as a threat. He asked a rather strange question: “Must we compete until there’s a clear winner between us?”
Tan Yan couldn’t comprehend it: “What do you mean? Are you saying that when I marry Xiao Ni, I have to include Ye Bingran as an unwelcome presence?”
What did he think of himself—Xiao Ni’s possessions, her dowry, her wealth?
Ye Bingran smiled gently at him; however, this smile wasn’t specifically meant for Tan Yan. It was simply a reflex whenever he thought of Zheng Mengni or mentioned her name—an involuntary habit that he couldn’t shake off.
He gently said, "My only wish is for her to be happy, healthy, and safe. Whatever she wants, I will do my best to help her achieve it."
As he spoke, Ye Bingran looked meaningfully at Tan Yan. "You should feel the same way, right?"
Tan Yan remained noncommittal.
"Since we share the same thoughts, why not collaborate?" Ye Bingran suggested. "If you need help, I’ll assist you, but the condition is that if Xiao Ni has a chance with you, you need to get your act together and put in the effort."
Tan Yan suddenly laughed. "What can you help me with? If she needs something, she'll ask. I can manage on my own; bringing you along would just slow me down."
Ye Bingran's eyes held a hint of innocent curiosity as he playfully prodded, "Then why don’t you go back to your country? Is it that you don’t like the lifestyle there?"
Tan Yan's eyes twitched.
"Alright, buddy, it's not shameful to admit that some things are temporarily out of reach. Don’t you like her? Don’t you want to go back and see her soon?" Ye Bingran said earnestly, patting Tan Yan's shoulder with a gentle elder's demeanor.
"Like her? So you do too?"
"Of course," Ye Bingran replied. "More than you can imagine."
Tan Yan's expression darkened as he found it absurd.
"Love is selfish. I've never seen anyone so generously share their feelings before. Do you really understand what liking someone means versus loving them?"
Ye Bingran looked confused. "Ah..."
