To let him live means to erase all his efforts. Starting from scratch after a reset. Ye Bingran didn't mind much; if he could succeed once, he could certainly succeed a second time. However, right now, it was too cold and he had no capital to confront Zheng Mengni. Over the years, Ye Bingran had learned one fundamental truth: a man cannot be without money. Until he could meet the conditions for a luxurious and dignified life, there were certain people he absolutely should not approach.
He rested his chin on his hand, lost in thought.
Once Christmas was over, it was finals week. Zheng Mengni was fully immersed in her exam preparations, while Ye Siqian, who had been effectively imprisoned in the apartment, was becoming increasingly restless. Since being brought to this place by Zheng Mengni, he hadn't seen her at all. The servant responsible for taking care of him was meticulous in her duties. Ye Siqian had never enjoyed such treatment before; after a few days of indulgence, he suddenly became aware that his current situation was no different from that of a pampered pet.
This was not how a sister should treat her brother, which meant that Zheng Mengni clearly did not believe the lies he and Ye Bingran had concocted. Ye Siqian did not want to sit idly by; he approached the servant and pretended to be obedient and demure. "I feel bad for disturbing you for so long. I was wondering if I could go out and find a job to pay for my daily rent."
The servant remained unmoved. "Miss Zheng wants you to stay here comfortably. Without her consent, I cannot let you leave."
He tried to reason with her. "But I can't just live here for free, can I?"
The servant reminded him, "Stop thinking about paying rent. You should tell Miss Zheng everything she wants to know without holding back; otherwise, do you think she’s keeping you here for fun?"
Ye Siqian's face turned pale as he stood frozen in place, as if someone had cast a spell on him. While he was distracted, a robotic vacuum cleaner rolled up to his feet. As he stepped back to avoid it, the servant spoke again: "Please step aside; Miss Zheng asked me to inform you about something."
"W-what is it?"
Even though the servant had a sharp and unkind demeanor, upon hearing Zheng Mengni's name, Ye Siqian's eyes inevitably brightened with uncontainable joy.
She said that if you still refuse to tell the truth, then your activities will be confined to this apartment today; tomorrow it might just be your bedroom, and the day after that you might only be allowed to sit on the toilet in the bathroom. Think carefully about it; it would be best if you were more compliant.
Ye Siqian's mind exploded with confusion; Sister Nini had always been gentle and kind in his memory. Yet she had lured him here with a phone call that filled him with hope.
Feigning care while actually imprisoning him—was it all just to uncover the truth about Ye Bingran?
Why did Zheng Mengni have to be concerned about someone who didn't want her?
She had clearly heard that malicious conversation outside the hotel. Why the double standard? Ye Bingran was the mastermind; what right did he have to receive Sister Nini's concern?
The more Ye Siqian thought about it, the more miserable he felt. Despite his efforts to suppress the dark and bitter thoughts, it was of no use. He was consumed by jealousy, even envious of those who were once closest to him, even if that person was a woman.
The painful emotions gnawed at his heart, and he had unknowingly dug deep marks into his palm.
He knew the truth.
But he refused to speak.
The person was already gone; wouldn’t it be better to forget sooner rather than later?
Please, Sister Nini.
Stop thinking about someone who tried to hurt you.
Forget it, just forget!
