Chapter 33: Chapter 33

“You are not worthy of my baby.”

That sentence was like a dagger inserted into his chest.

Ye Jing An’s expression remained unchanged, but his heart felt like it was in pain. In the eyes of other is he and Du Yu Shu really not compatible?

“What’s it got to do with you?” Ye Jing An expressionlessly said, his eyes revealed some ridicule. “Could you really make this decision for her?”

“What gives you the right to say this to me?”

Ye Jing An’s eyes revealed a level of certainty, “You’re her brother.”

The facial features aren’t that much alike, but the eyes are somewhat similar. Ye Jing An suddenly remembered that day on the plane, of the little girl crying for her brother.

Crying, shouting, struggling, painfully in despair while calling for her brother.

Is it this person in front of him?

Du Yan Su’s eyes revealed some unknown emotions. He gracefully sat across from Ye Jing An and indifferently said, “She is my treasure, Mr. Ye.”

“I think you would understand the care and love that a parent has towards their children, the fear that they would get hurt. Although I am just her brother, my feelings are not less than half of any parents in the world.” Du Yan Su’s actions were elegant and there was a slight smile in his eyes, “So, I do not want to see her hurt at all. This feeling, I think Mr. Ye should understand.”

“I do.” Ye Jing An faintly said, “So…”

“So Mr. Ye should understand.” Du Yan Su elegantly smiled and strongly interrupted Ye Jing An. “Your older brother Ye Jin Cheng is a promiscuous flirt. As his younger brother, I don’t less of you. You can’t resist genetics, I won’t put her in danger.”

“Also,” Du Yan Su casually smiled and carelessly said, “After quarreling with Yu Shu for eight years, you can be considered an enemy but all of a sudden you want to be together.”

Du Yan Su slowly stood up and sharply looked at Ye Jing An, “Why are you doing this?”

“Of course it is because I like her.” Ye Jing An casually said but his eyes were cold and sharp as he stared at Du Yan Su, “Children will end up like their parents, could it be that Mr. Du still holds on to such feudal thoughts?”

“Everyone is different and have their own personality. I have no right to evaluate my brother’s behavior but we are two different people.” Ye Jing An suddenly showed a brief smile his voice soft and gentle, “It is like you and your parents, you are not the same correct?”

Du Yan Su felt like his breath is stifled and he glared at him. Ye Jing An just fearlessly looked back at him.

“I admire how you are right now.” Du Yan Su sharply smiled, “but….”

“You are not worthy of my baby, Mr. Ye.”

Ye Jing An was just about to speak when he heard a puzzled female voice, “Ge? Ye Jing An?”

The two men ended their thunder and lightning confrontation. They smiled politely at each other as if their earlier clash did not happen at all.

“Ge, why are you here?” Du Yu Shu walked over, puzzled, “Emperor Ye is also here?”

“En,” Du Yan Su somewhat smiled, “I saw Emperor Ye so I came over to have a little chat. Emperor Ye is a very talkative person and very polite, unlike how you described him to be.”

Du Yu Shu looked at Du Yan Su suspiciously. When had she ever mention Ye Jing An?

Du Yan Su looked over Du Yu Shu’s hair at Ye Jing An, he lips slightly hooked into a smile in a warning.

“I only came to have a meal and encountered Mr. Du.” Ye Jing An casually smiled, “Mr. Du is also very elegant, he seemed to be an expert in the Four Arts of the Chinese Scholar.* It really is admirable.”

T/N: Four Arts of the Chinese Scholar refers to zither, Go, calligraphy and painting.

Du Yu Shu looked suspiciously at Ye Jing An. How can it be, Four Arts of the Chinese Scholar? Her brother only knows how to play Gomoku!

Du Yu Shu felt unwell standing between these two men who are smiling elegantly and gracefully at each other. It is like standing in the middle of a storm.

Did they really get along earlier?

Who are you trying to deceive ah!

Du Yu Shu stayed silent for a while before replying, “Naturally. Gege, let’s go back.”

Du Yan Su smiled and was just about to say something when he heard Ye Jing An speak, “Mr. Du and I felt familiar at first sight, we could be considered close friends. We were just talking very excitedly. Don’t know if Leading Actress Du is willing to share a table with us.”

“I am sitting at this table by myself.” Ye Jing An smiled and added, “I extremely admire Mr. Du, his every word and action greatly inspired me. Don’t know if Mr. Du and Leading Actress Du would like to join me?”

“Let me learn more from Mr. Du.” Ye Jing An smiled.

Du Yan Su wanted to cough up blood.

“We would be disturbing Mr. Ye.” Du Yan Su smiled and rested his hand on Du Yu Shu’s shoulder, “Yu Shu and I haven’t seen each other in a long time, so naturally, there is still some stuff we need to catch up on so we won’t bother Mr. Ye.”

Ye Jing An’s smile slowly dwindled. He reluctantly smiled but his eyes showed some fleeting loneliness, “Mr. Du and Leading Actress Du’s relationship is good ah, I….”

Ye Jing An closed his mouth on time and slowly exposed a smile, “Then Leading Actress Du and Mr. Du enjoy your meal.”

Du Yu Shu saw the loneliness and dispiritedness in Ye Jing An’s eyes and her heart couldn’t help but soften. She smiled and said, “Then let’s eat together, it looks like my brother would also like to chat with Mr. Ye. He just said that you two were familiar at first sight, so I can’t be the third wheel of your relationship.”

Du Yan Su, “……”

Du Yan Su sighed. It looks like the relationship between his baby and Ye Jing An is no ordinary.

He just doesn’t know when the progression will end.

Du Yan Su’s eyes flashed when he thought back to a few days ago when Du Yu Shu shyly asked him about dating. Since she already inquired about dating, then they must already be dating.

Then it means that they have already confessed. Confessed, date, and most probably have even kissed.

Du Yan Su’s eyes immediately turned dangerous.

In the next half hour, Du Yu Shu finally understood how wrong she is.

These two people are like thunder and lightning, it is even a hundred times more intense than when she and Ye Jing An are fighting!

It is not the familiar at first sight, close friends as they said they were!

During this meal, Du Yu Shu’s heartbroken.

Du Yu Shu expressionlessly coughed, instantly changing the two men’s expression.

She blankly swept her gaze at Du Yan Su, “Familiar at first sight?”

“Cough,” Du Yan Su bowed and swallowed his saliva.

“Close friends?” Du Yu Shu fiercely swept her gaze at Ye Jing An.

Ye Jing An bowed and ate his food.

Under Du Yu Shu’s piercing gaze, the two men could only keep quiet. She turned and asked, “Ge, how is the food?”

“Very good,” Du Yan Su smiled and replied, “Let’s go, thank Mr. Ye, we should go now.”

Ye Jing An was about to say something when he heard Du Yan Su faintly said, “Mom is also here, let’s go.”

Ye Jing An’s words got stuck in his throat. He, indeed, does not have the courage to meet his future mother-in-law at the moment.

Du Yu Shu frowned and nodded, “Ok.”

Du Yan Su pulled her towards him and softly laughed. He turned to Ye Jing An, “Thank you, Mr. Ye, for taking care of my baby. She must have been quite the had full so I apologize for her.”

Du Yu Shu raised her brows and whispered a few words of complaint. Du Yan Su just softly laughed and stroke her hair, his posture showing care and protection.

Ye Jing An looked at their departing back, their intimacy and his eyes were ablaze. In this confrontation, he was at a disadvantage, but Ye Jing An was clear from the very beginning he was going to fail.

Du Yan Su could justly order her food, pinch her cheeks, stroke her hair, and protect her. He could even warn him and reject him.

And he, he could not do anything.

But it doesn’t matter because sooner or later, he could do all these things.

He is the one who will accompany Du Yu Shu throughout his life.

Du Yan Su is the one who would have to let go. Ye Jing An smiled, his eyes dark as ink.

One day, sooner or later, he would have to take Du Yu Shu’s hand from Du Yan Su and walk into the wedding hall.

When they sat in the car, Du Yu Shu frowned and asked, “Ge, why did you target Ye Jing An?”

Du Yan Su bluntly said, “I am against everyone who covets my sister.”

“I am not happy just thinking that one day my precious sister whom I raised in the palm of my hands covet by these blasphemous people.”

“But I can’t do anything about them. I know my sister will leave me sooner or later.”

Du Yan Su’s eyes are full of lost. Du Yu Shu grabbed his clothes and softly called him in distress. He smiled back at her and shook his head, “If he doesn’t pass my tests and prejudice, how could I hand you to him without any worry?”

“Or could it be…” Du Yan Su’s eyes showed some teasing, “You don’t have much confidence in him.”

“We are not….” Du Yu Shu vaguely replied when her phone suddenly rang. Du Yu Shu used that as an excuse to not answer him and read the message.

“Miss Du, do you want to know the truth? Wutong Street, Sky Hotel, Room 23. I will be waiting for you there.”
