The fire in her chest was extinguished by cold water, and Dong Yuner calmed down. She asked in a low voice, “What exactly do you want?”
This state of Dong Yuner gave Ye Jinxi a sliver of unease, but she quickly suppressed it.
Ye Jinxi smiled slightly and said, “What I want is simple: put away those little schemes of yours and stop lusting after your young lady.”
“You!”
Having her thoughts exposed before she could speak, Dong Yuner nearly lost her composure again. She took several deep breaths before she managed to calm down.
“You should know that’s impossible.”
Dong Yuner stared into her eyes, her tone devoid of emotion as if she were merely stating a fact. “Not only will I not leave, but I will also drive you away. I will definitely, definitely drive you away!”
“Heh.”
Ye Jinxi gave a disdainful chuckle and threatened her directly. “If you don’t leave, then don’t blame me for telling your young lady about this. You can probably imagine what kind of expression she’ll have then.”
“So, Senior Sister Dong, you wouldn’t want your young lady to show a disappointed face and painfully cast you aside, right?”
“If you promise me now that you’ll no longer have improper thoughts about your young lady, I promise not to speak of this. You can even stay by her side and look at her every day. Isn’t that a win-win for everyone?”
‘Now isn’t the best time to drive Dong Yuner away. There will be plenty of opportunities later. If I’m too greedy now, all my progress might be lost.’ Ye Jinxi muttered to herself, mentally nodding at the brilliance of her threat.
Facing such a threat, Dong Yuner only sneered. “Go ahead and tell her then. I’d like to see if the young lady believes me or you.”
‘Fortunately, the fact that the young lady knows my true colors hasn’t been exposed yet, otherwise, this person would have definitely used something else to threaten me. But now that I’ve said this, she’ll likely figure it out soon. Still, it’s worth it.’
Hearing this, Ye Jinxi couldn’t help but narrow her eyes. ‘Has she already snapped out of her anger? She isn’t even falling for this threat. Fine, I have other ways.’
“Not bad, not bad.”
Ye Jinxi actually started clapping. Meeting Dong Yuner’s surprised gaze, she smiled calmly. “It seems the bond between you and your young lady is indeed deep. It’s truly shocking.”
“But have you forgotten? Your young lady and I have already shared an intimate touch. Her first time already belongs to me. So, what’s the point of you struggling here?”
“Your young lady is destined to choose only me. Let me tell you a secret: she was very happy just now and quite satisfied with my technique. Don’t glare at me; it’s useless. This is already a fact, and nothing can change it.”
Though Ye Jinxi’s face was full of ridicule, her heart was incredibly calm. She knew her own strengths and weaknesses clearly. ‘Even if Dong Yuner doesn’t dare to ask Lin Huanhuan directly about the details, this lie can only be kept for a short time. Eventually, she’ll see through it. In that case, I might as well use this to the extreme to achieve the best result.’
Dong Yuner’s body trembled slightly, but then she burst into laughter. She clutched her stomach, laughing uncontrollably.
“You… what are you laughing at? What’s so funny?” Ye Jinxi, on the other hand, began to feel flustered.
After laughing for a while, Dong Yuner finally stood up straight. She covered half her face with one hand, revealing only a pair of cold eyes. “How could someone like you possibly understand my feelings for the young lady and the bond between us?”
“Do you think I’m just like you, only lusting after the young lady’s body and wanting to drown in carnal desires? Heh, hehehehe.”
“The young lady is the person I want to spend my entire life with. No matter what she becomes or what she looks like, my feelings for her will not change or waver in the slightest.”
“With just you? You aren’t qualified to be my rival. If it weren’t because the young lady wouldn’t allow it, someone like you would have been disposed of by me long ago!”
Her words were powerful and resonant, like a clap of thunder falling from the nine heavens. Ye Jinxi’s heart trembled involuntarily, and as she looked at her, a sliver of fear arose.
Dong Yuner smiled coldly. “Now, get out. Whether or not you dare to come back, I will definitely not let you off next time.”
Ye Jinxi froze for a moment then swung her sleeve and left, leaving behind only a bitter parting shot: “We have plenty of time. The one who wins will definitely be me. Just you wait!”
After saying those words, her figure quickly disappeared at the end of her sight, looking somewhat pathetic.
Dong Yuner just stood there, watching her departing back without saying a word. Only after a long time did she turn back into the house, pour herself a cup of tea, and drink it calmly.
The surroundings finally fell silent, and there was finally no one left to provoke her. Her heart grew quiet and was no longer in turmoil, allowing her to finally review everything that had just happened.
‘Dong Yuner thought about it carefully and suddenly realized that the words Ye Jinxi had used to provoke her actually had many loopholes. It was just that she had been blinded by rage earlier and hadn’t noticed them in time.’
For example, when she was at her angriest and most emotional, she actually believed that Lin Huanhuan and Ye Jinxi had been intimate. ‘The young lady isn’t that kind of person. She isn’t the type to casually enter into an intimate relationship with someone.’
‘Although the young lady usually has a bit of a mean streak and likes to joke around in a perverted way, it’s mostly just talk. She has never once crossed the line. Otherwise, I would have succeeded long ago.’
‘As for Ye Jinxi, she hasn’t known the young lady for long, so how could anything have actually happened? Therefore, there’s a high probability that Ye Jinxi was making a mountain out of a molehill, intentionally exaggerating to intimidate me and make me give up. But she clearly didn’t expect how firm my resolve is.’
‘Then, what is the truth?’ Filled with doubt, Dong Yuner got up and walked to the bedside. She stared at Lin Huanhuan’s sleeping face and smiled helplessly. She reached out to feel Lin Huanhuan’s forehead, and seeing that she wasn’t sweating, she finally relaxed.
Dong Yuner continued her deduction in her mind. ‘First, since the young lady specifically called Ye Jinxi over, there must be something important; otherwise, it wouldn’t be so serious.’
‘By stripping away the useful information from the things she just said and combining it with the current situation, it’s not hard to deduce that the young lady and she must have done something very mentally draining. During the process, the young lady became sweaty and exhausted, which is why I saw that scene when I walked in earlier.’
‘From the look of it, it’s a good thing I rushed in fast enough, otherwise, she might have actually taken advantage of the situation. Ye Jinxi doesn’t look like a good person at all; it’s not impossible that she’d try to take advantage of the young lady.’
After forcing together such a relatively reasonable explanation, Dong Yuner finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“Forget it, there’s no point in thinking so much. I’ll just ask the young lady indirectly after she wakes up.”
