After Recklessly Courting Death, I Caught the Attention of a Yandere - Chapter 70

Dongfang Wuchen naturally understood how important Yan Ke was to their Mingyue Manor.

Moreover, his father had been so severely injured, and it was Yan Ke who used his internal energy to help heal him. Otherwise, his father couldn’t have recovered so quickly.

He didn’t want to make excuses for Tang Huairou; he just always felt guilty toward her, which was why he chose to tolerate her bad temper.

What Yan Ke had just said actually made sense.

If Yan Ke hadn’t arrived in time to save Yun Dan, given how Yun Dan couldn’t swim, she might have actually drowned.

The commotion they made was quite large, even attracting Dongfang Jue and the others.

The first thing Dongfang Jue saw was the two people standing in the pond, along with Yan Ke’s murderous expression.

Yan Ke naturally noticed Dongfang Jue’s approach immediately and quickly held Yun Dan while turning around, using his own back to shield her.

After all, they were both still in the water, and since it was summer, Yun Dan wasn’t wearing much, especially after being soaked in water…

She was a young lady, and if she were seen by someone like Dongfang Jue, it wouldn’t be good.

He was a man anyway, so it was no big deal. He would use his back to shield Yun Dan.

Yun Dan belatedly realized that her position with Yan Ke seemed to have switched.

At first, she didn’t understand why, until she heard Dongfang Jue’s voice behind her.

“What happened? Did Miss Yun fall into the pond?”

Yan Ke didn’t turn his head and only replied coldly, “You’ll have to ask your good daughter what she did.”

Actually, from the situation, Dongfang Jue had already guessed most of what happened.

He had originally thought Tang Huairou just went out for a walk because of her pride, but he didn’t expect she would push Yun Dan into the pond.

The commotion here was so great that it attracted all the other guests.

Yan Ke only said coldly to the crowd behind him, “Get lost!”

These people knew that Yan Ke was not someone to be trifled with.

Now that they heard him lose his temper, they naturally shrank their necks and left dejectedly.

Meanwhile, Dongfang Jue, seeing how protectively Yan Ke was acting, only felt secretly pleased.

However, he at least remembered that his daughter had pushed Yun Dan, and no matter what, this was his daughter’s fault. She should come and apologize to Yun Dan.

So he left with his son first.

After everyone had left, Yan Ke finally lifted Yun Dan by the waist, jumped out of the water, and ran toward her room.

However, when Yan Ke placed Yun Dan on the bed and prepared to turn and leave, Yun Dan grabbed his hand.

“I’m a little scared. Can you stay tonight? You can just sit by the bed and watch over me.”

Yan Ke originally didn’t want to stay.

But seeing Yun Dan’s pleading look this time, he somehow nodded.

“Alright, I won’t leave, but I need to go change my clothes. My clothes are still wet, and wearing them all night will make me sick. You should change your clothes too.”

After the door closed, Yun Dan belatedly realized she was dressed very lightly.

“So earlier, Yan Ke switched positions with me to prevent others from seeing me? He’s actually quite thoughtful.”

For some reason, Yun Dan always felt there was no pressure when being with Yan Ke.

Gentle as water, calm as water.

And no emotional burden.

Her interactions with Dongfang Wuchen were like a gentleman’s friendship, as light as water.

Although getting along with Xiao Yueqing was also fine, deep down Yun Dan was still a bit afraid of him.

Afraid that if he got upset, he might just snap her neck.

Also afraid he would really turn her into flower fertilizer.

But belatedly, she realized her heart was beating very fast. This feeling was unprecedented, and it wasn’t a heartbeat from being frightened.

Rather, it was a feeling of heartfelt attraction.

But Yun Dan had never been in love, so she could only attribute this feeling to a sense of security in her heart and didn’t think too deeply about it.

After Yun Dan finally finished changing clothes, the door was pushed open at that moment.

Yan Ke had changed into light blue robes and was carrying something in his hands.

“Why did you take so long? I thought you weren’t coming.”

Only then did Yan Ke place what he was holding on the table, pointing to the bowl and saying, “You fell into the pond and were soaked in there for so long. I was afraid you’d catch a cold, so I went to make a bowl of ginger soup.”

Yun Dan stuck out her tongue somewhat embarrassedly.

She indeed hadn’t thought in that direction and thought Yan Ke wasn’t coming.

After drinking the bowl of ginger soup, Yun Dan felt warm all over.

She touched her very satisfied belly and sighed, “Speaking of which, Young Master, I really have to thank you. If you hadn’t happened to pass by and save me, after thrashing around in the pond for so long, I might not have been able to get out. I’m most afraid of water.”

Without thinking, Yan Ke blurted out, “I know.”

This time it was Yun Dan’s turn to be stunned.

“What? I don’t think I ever told you that I can’t swim.”

Yan Ke then realized his earlier answer was too subconscious, so he explained, “Oh, no, no, I was just guessing. Besides, there are many young ladies like you who can’t swim.”

This explanation was reasonable enough, so Yun Dan didn’t probe further.

Although she was safe now, it didn’t mean she was particularly satisfied.

“Let me tell you, I’m really, really angry. I was sitting there perfectly fine, and suddenly Tang Huairou just pushed me down. How can this person be so bad?”

If previously Yun Dan had only thought Tang Huairou was just a spoiled rich young lady, now she felt Tang Huairou was an outright murderer.

Regardless of whether she could swim or not, pushing her was wrong.

Speaking of Tang Huairou, Yan Ke was obviously even angrier than Yun Dan.

His disciple was perfectly fine—he couldn’t bear to hurt her himself—yet she kept being troubled by Tang Huairou time and again. How could he swallow this?

However, since they were at Mingyue Manor and he was a guest, he naturally couldn’t do anything to Tang Huairou. He could only demand an apology from her.

“I already said that Tang Huairou must come and apologize to you. This matter can’t just be brushed aside with a few words and an apology from Dongfang Wuchen on her behalf, because you could have died if things went wrong. This is a very serious matter if we’re being honest.”

Yun Dan wasn’t a saint to begin with, so naturally she couldn’t just pretend nothing had happened.

However, the part about Dongfang Wuchen apologizing on his sister’s behalf was something Yun Dan didn’t quite understand.

“I don’t quite understand why Dongfang Wuchen would help Tang Huairou so much?”
