CHAPTER 479: CHAPTER 287: ANNOYANCE (PART 2)

Ye Xuan, as if under a spell, his slender fingers slowly traced her cheek, rubbing down bit by bit. She felt ticklish and thrilling from the rough calluses on his fingertips. Her heartbeat went off track inexplicably, her chest heaving rapidly, wanting to control it but failing to do so.

At this moment, her eyes were like shimmering pools, her complexion was like the glow of dawn, exuding an alluring charm. Ye Xuan’s fingertips paused on her luscious lips, caressing gently, completely enchanted.

She struggled with all her might to sit up, her voice whispery and mumbling, "Take me back, please. It’s almost time."

Her words abruptly awakened Ye Xuan, who had been lost in profound affection and could not extricate himself. He smacked his forehead in annoyance, started the car without a word, and quickly turned out of there.

"There are still eight minutes left, we should make it." Luo Ye looked at the time, somewhat at a loss.

"Ye’er." Ye Xuan spoke hoarsely, "I’m sorry."

"Why... Why?" Luo Ye was even more confused.

"From now on, I will take care of everything for you. Otherwise, I do not deserve to be your fiancé, let alone your future husband." Yes, he was truly annoyed with himself.

If it weren’t for Luo Ye’s reminder, if they had both indulged further, it would have inevitably led to Luo Ye being punished today. The critical issue was that Hang Menglin knew Luo Ye was with him.

He couldn’t allow Luo Ye to suffer any harm, including to her reputation!

"Ye Xuan." Luo Ye called out softly, grasping his large hand on the gear shift, "I understand."

The car stopped at the school entrance. He did not entangle with her any longer, patting her head, "Hurry in, better to be a few minutes early than late."

"I know." Luo Ye got out of the car and waved her hand, miming a gesture of making a phone call, running into the campus.

He sat in the car until her figure completely disappeared, then started the car and turned around. A car with the license plate of Beijing-Ji abruptly blocked his path. Looking up, the person in the car turned out to be—Feng Tianzhi.

"Hey, want to hear some good news I have to tell you?" Feng Tianzhi’s head popped out from the car window.

Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed, and he quickly reversed the car as if parking it, allowing Feng Tianzhi’s car to come alongside him, stopping right beside him.

Feng Tianzhi turned off his car engine, smiling smugly: "However, whether this is good news or bad news depends on your interpretation."

"Speak." Ye Xuan maintained his typical brevity.

Feng Tianzhi’s narrow eyes lifted slightly, "After failing to compete with you, I have deeply reflected and decided to start from scratch. Thus, I have become the captain of the GF’s fifth unit.

Simply put, I am now Luo Ye’s captain, able to be with her every day. And the good news for you is, for a while, I won’t be competing with you for a position. How about it, happy?"

Ye Xuan smiled faintly, "Positions, you see, are not something you can just take if you want to. As for Ye’er..." He paused, the corners of his mouth crooked up slantingly with charm, "Distance makes the heart grow fonder, understand?" Having said that, he started the car and drove straight away.

"Tch!" Feng Tianzhi raised his eyebrows, "Sour grapes, I don’t believe you’re really this calm. Ye Xuan, if I can’t compete for power, I’ll compete for the beauty first, and infuriate you!"

As his voice fell, the smugness on his face disappeared altogether. He had indeed burned his bridges with this decision; no one in the Feng Family supported him, including his Grandpa, who had always treasured him.

But that’s just how he was; once determined, he had to try. Winning by unconventional means was also a skill.

However, this move wasn’t purely out of recklessness; his promotion faced criticism from many, and though he had performed well in the major exercises, losing meant losing; in the military, there’s no second place, and what everyone remembers is always the first!

Even if he stayed in Division B, he could perhaps barely make it as a Deputy Division Commander, but it wouldn’t earn him genuine respect. Despite his unconstrained nature, he was very clear that leading soldiers required cohesion and morale; if your troops don’t respect you, where would that cohesion and morale come from? Continuing this way, surpassing Ye Xuan was even harder.

Therefore, he took a step back, actively requesting to replace Xiang Mingliang’s position, a plan that killed two birds with one stone. Regardless of the outcome, he believed his choice was correct.

He, Feng Tianzhi, had always been known for his unexpected and successful ways of doing things. Let those who laugh at his dumb luck continue laughing!

...

In the office of Unit Five.

Even though it was already December, Hang Menglin was fanning herself vigorously, utterly annoyed at herself for not being able to stay calm and falling for that little girl Luo Ye’s scheme, babbling out everything.

That girl was even worse, waiting until she finished spilling everything before slowly mentioning that Old Master Wen had already intended to do so anyway, infuriating her!

While fanning, Hang Menglin stared at the time on her wristwatch; she very, very much hoped that Luo Ye would be late. Only by gaining upper hand could she feel more contented, right?

Seeing there were only two minutes left to the time she had set, a smile crept onto Hang Menglin’s face. Little girl, I’m going to let you clearly understand who calls the shots and who is the boss here. Right now, Unit Five doesn’t have a captain, so she, Hang Menglin, is the boss!

One minute left!

Hang Menglin nervously put down her fan, motionless, staring at the wall clock, wishing in her heart, "Please don’t show up! Please don’t show up!"

The update for Nuan will be in the evening and the next update at 9 am tomorrow.

A special thanks to "Little Bookworm Is Me" for your reward, and a special thanks to Pink for Nuan and to all the official subscribers.

Let’s emphasize again, we won’t be splashing any bloody drama, guys, don’t always worry. There might occasionally be little tortures for joy, but there will never be any bloody drama...
