Seeing Chen Guang reaching out toward her, An Qing instantly felt a wave of nausea.
Her red pupils trembled slightly.
She wanted to kick him away, but the An family parents were present.
Did she… have no choice but to endure?
And afterward, continue this tiresome back-and-forth with this guy?
The light in her eyes gradually dimmed, yet the hatred in An Qing’s heart kept rising higher and higher.
Only now did she realize that although she had planned everything perfectly, she had never once considered her own feelings.
Using An Yu’s methods to take revenge on An Yu was feasible, but she was destined not to be An Yu.
She couldn’t derive even the slightest bit of pleasure from something like this.
Some things couldn’t be changed just because she had been reborn.
The beating of her heart made An Qing feel pain, yet her face still wore a gentle smile.
Later, she would definitely chop off the hand Chen Guang used to touch her and feed it to the pigs as minced meat.
So for now, she would endure.
An Qing’s red pupils lost their luster, but she didn’t show the slightest abnormality.
She stood there as if she hadn’t noticed anything at all.
But…
“Hiss… what are you doing!”
Chen Guang’s somewhat pained voice reached An Qing’s ears. She looked up.
“Huh?”
A trace of surprise flashed through An Qing’s crimson pupils as she instinctively let out a puzzled sound.
Chen Guang’s arm was firmly gripped by Chen Yu and held motionless in mid-air.
Chen Guang kept struggling, but no matter what he did, he couldn’t break free.
Chen Yu’s hand was like an iron clamp, locking him in place.
His strength was clearly no match for Chen Yu’s.
“Chen… Yu.”
Chen Guang ground out the name through clenched teeth.
If he had to talk about his life, it had truly been smooth sailing—except for the fact that he had an older brother named Chen Yu.
From childhood to adulthood, Chen Guang could be said to have anything he wanted.
No one had ever been able to refuse him.
Unless Chen Yu wanted to compete with him.
This older brother was practically his only rival—in every aspect and every sense of the word.
And now, was he trying to steal An Qing from him again?
Didn’t he say he didn’t care about that marriage agreement?
“What is the meaning of this, Chen Yu?”
Although stealing a woman was a big deal, being grabbed like this and losing face was even bigger.
Chen Guang frowned and tried to lift his arm.
But Chen Yu had no intention of letting go.
There was no way he would allow Chen Guang to interfere with the feelings of those sisters!
Chen Yu pulled Chen Guang’s arm down but didn’t release it.
A kind smile appeared on his face.
“Hehe, little brother, it’s about time we headed home.”
“What? What exactly do you—”
Seeing Chen Yu suddenly acting chummy with him, Chen Guang instinctively frowned.
But before he could finish his sentence, Chen Yu yanked him closer.
“My meaning is—stay away from her.”
Chen Yu leaned in close to Chen Guang’s ear and warned in a low voice.
In his view, An Qing clearly liked An Yu, yet she was being coerced by the An family parents and his own little brother.
So warning his little brother to stay away from An Qing was perfectly reasonable, right?
But Chen Guang obviously wouldn’t see it that way.
He would only think Chen Yu was trying to snatch An Qing from him.
Chen Guang clenched his jaw, his pupils contracting slightly as a flash of anger crossed his eyes.
But in the end, he still held it in.
First, he couldn’t openly fall out with Chen Yu just yet.
Second, he couldn’t ruin his gentle and refined image.
“Fine, let go. I’ll leave on my own.”
Chen Guang helplessly shook his hand.
Seeing that he really seemed intent on leaving, Chen Yu let go with a cheerful smile.
“That’s more like it.”
What kind of behavior was it to bother a girl who already had someone in her heart?
“Heh…”
Chen Guang gripped his slightly aching wrist and let out a cold laugh.
He would remember today’s humiliation.
However, on the surface, he still had to maintain his persona.
Chen Guang turned back with a gentle smile, displaying the upbringing of a great family.
“Miss An Qing, I look forward to your reply.”
Although today’s conversation couldn’t continue, Chen Guang had no intention of giving up his invitation to An Qing.
Girls who suited his taste this well were truly rare.
“Why do you have so much nonsense to say?”
Seeing that Chen Guang still hadn’t given up, Chen Yu’s expression darkened.
No one expected that right after Chen Yu finished speaking, he suddenly kicked Chen Guang square in the butt.
Chen Guang stumbled forward from the kick, and a crack instantly appeared in his refined and elegant expression.
“You!”
He widened his eyes, staring at Chen Yu in disbelief, as if he never imagined Chen Yu would do something like this.
“You what? Forgot what I said?”
Chen Yu looked completely unconcerned, as if he had only done something trivial.
Seeing Chen Yu’s attitude, Chen Guang clenched his fists tightly.
For a split second, his expression turned ferocious, but it quickly returned to normal.
As if that moment had just been an illusion.
This time, Chen Guang didn’t say a word. He turned and left dejectedly without the slightest pause.
And all of this was clearly witnessed by the An family trio standing nearby.
The An family parents remained silent and said nothing. How would they dare interfere in the Chen brothers’ fight?
Seeing this, Chen Yu turned around and spoke to the An family parents with a cheerful smile.
“I’d like to talk to An Qing alone. No objections, right?”
“Uh… no objections, no objections.”
An Yunfan, who had long felt uneasy, immediately dragged Jiang Qinghe away.
In any case, nothing would happen to his daughter.
Only after the An family parents left did An Qing finally snap out of her daze.
She stared blankly at Chen Yu, her eyes filled with confusion.
She had clearly prepared herself to feel disgusted, yet she was suddenly saved.
What was up with this guy?
“Hey, don’t misunderstand, okay? An Yu asked me to come.”
To prevent the classic trope from happening, Chen Yu quickly mentioned An Yu.
This way, he could not only lower An Qing’s guard but also slightly increase her favorable impression of An Yu.
Little did he know, for An Qing, this would only have the opposite effect.
“An… Yu?”
“Yeah, An Yu asked me to come.”
An Qing stared dumbly at Chen Yu.
He said An Yu asked him to come?
That An Yu, who wouldn’t say more than one sentence to her in a whole week, would think of her?
Ah… right.
An Qing almost forgot. An Yu couldn’t possibly be doing it for her—it was for Chen Guang.
After all, besides herself, no one knew she hated Chen Guang.
So how could it be for her sake?
An Yu had deliberately sent Chen Yu to mess things up.
Because in her previous life, An Yu liked Chen Guang.
In an instant, An Qing clenched her fists tightly.
An inexplicable anger filled her entire body.
Even though An Yu’s behavior was completely different from her previous life, An Yu would always be that same An Yu!
“Oh, right, this is for you.”
Not noticing that An Qing had already sunk into anger, Chen Yu pulled out an exquisitely wrapped book from his pocket.
An Qing came back to her senses and almost instinctively took the book from Chen Yu’s hand.
Seeing An Qing accept it, Chen Yu nodded in satisfaction.
“This is… a gift from your sister.”
He deliberately changed the way he addressed An Yu to “sister.”
This was Chen Yu’s little scheme.
He hoped that after An Qing saw this gift, she would realize An Yu didn’t want An Qing to sacrifice herself!
