After Recklessly Courting Death, I Caught the Attention of a Yandere - Chapter 71

Yun Dan didn’t understand much about the affairs of Mingyue Manor.

But Yan Ke was different.

His understanding of Mingyue Manor had already exceeded ten years. It could be said that since Dongfang Wuchen’s youth, he had already understood it quite well.

Seeing him now plead for Tang Huairou’s case was naturally not surprising at all.

“It’s very simple, because he has always respected this elder sister from beginning to end. Tang Huairou is willful and capricious, while Dongfang Wuchen has a good temper. Moreover, he has always felt that his birth caused Tang Huairou’s status to not be as good as before, feeling that he owed her something, which is why he would tolerate her bad temper.”

“Actually, I think Dongfang Wuchen is quite easy to get along with as a person. He could be considered the gentle and refined, easy-going type. However, having such a sister is indeed quite pitiful—always having to clean up messes afterward.”

Speaking of Dongfang Wuchen saying he wanted to apologize to her on Tang Huairou’s behalf, there really wasn’t any other meaning to it.

It’s just that being pushed into a pond would naturally make anyone somewhat unhappy.

Yun Dan felt she didn’t need Tang Huairou to compensate her—was wanting a simple apology really that difficult?

After the two chatted idly for a few more sentences, Yun Dan couldn’t help but start yawning.

What she hated most was attending this kind of evening banquet, because she had no sense of participation there, just eating food mindlessly.

But after eating too much food, she would become particularly sleepy toward the end.

If it weren’t for the farce of falling into the pond, she probably would have fallen asleep long ago.

Seeing Yun Dan continuously yawning, Yan Ke stopped chatting with her and let her lie back down on the bed.

However, remembering that he had promised Yun Dan to watch over her, he sat down beside the bed, leaning his whole body against the bedpost.

Yun Dan nestled into the covers and turned over, but when she opened her eyes, she saw that Yan Ke hadn’t left. Instead, he was sitting beside her bed dozing lightly. She unconsciously blurted out, “Aren’t you leaving?”

Only then did Yan Ke open his eyes, glancing at Yun Dan. “Didn’t you ask me to stay here and watch over you? You said you were afraid, so I won’t leave. I’ll stay here and watch over you. Don’t tell me you think I’m the kind of person who likes to take liberties and would take advantage of you?”

Well, that wasn’t it.

First of all, Yan Ke was originally the type who kept his distance from women, otherwise he wouldn’t still be single at this age.

Moreover, with his looks, if he wanted any woman, he could just shout once outside, and the line of people would probably circle around Yong City three times.

Looking at Yan Ke’s exquisitely flawless face, Yun Dan could only sigh once again—when Nuwa was showing off her skills, she was truly amazing!

Perhaps Yun Dan’s gaze while examining Yan Ke was too intense, as even Yan Ke himself noticed it.

He slightly turned his head, and their eyes met perfectly.

It was Yun Dan who felt somewhat embarrassed, directly turning her head away, no longer meeting his gaze.

Who told her she felt like she had been caught red-handed.

Yan Ke chuckled softly and asked curiously, “What were you looking at just now?”

“Looking at how handsome you are. I couldn’t help but take a few more glances.”

A soft laugh came from above her head.

“If you like looking, then look as much as you want. It doesn’t matter, no need to be embarrassed.”

Who knew Yun Dan would suddenly blurt out, “You must be a fake Young Master Luoyue, right?”

Yan Ke’s face darkened with black lines.

Although this identity wasn’t his original identity, he was genuinely the real Young Master Luoyue.

How did he become a fake Young Master Luoyue?

“Why do you say I’m fake?”

“Because everyone says you’re not easy to get along with, have a particularly bad temper, and even when Tang Huairou pestered you relentlessly for three years, you just kept avoiding her in various ways, and you weren’t polite when speaking to her either.

But when you’re in front of me, you clearly seem quite easy to get along with, completely different from the rumors. You don’t have any airs at all, so you must be a fake Young Master Luoyue, right?”

Yan Ke really felt both amused and exasperated.

What kind of logic was this?

Him being good to Yun Dan, in her eyes, actually became his fault?

That really left him somewhat puzzled.

Yan Ke suddenly lowered his head, leaning close to her face, and teased, “If you don’t like me being good to you, then do you hope I’ll treat you the same way I treat Tang Huairou?”

“For example, just throw you out directly, or ignore you in various ways? If you like that, I’m not incapable of treating you that way, but I think you might get angry.”

What was this?

Could they negotiate terms now?

Yun Dan felt she was just saying this casually, but these words sounded like she was deliberately emphasizing something.

She increasingly felt she couldn’t figure out Yan Ke as a person.

Instead, Yan Ke, seeing her frowning and looking distressed, reached out to pat her head and comforted her, “Alright, alright, don’t think about this anymore. You’re very tired now and need to rest properly. Other things aren’t very important.”

Yun Dan thought about it and indeed felt this was the case.

She was indeed extremely, extremely tired right now. If she didn’t sleep soon, she would probably drop dead.

Today’s incident was simply a huge trauma for her. She definitely needed to recover properly.

But before closing her eyes, Yun Dan still looked at Yan Ke with some reluctance.

Probably afraid he would run away later.

Yan Ke naturally saw what Yun Dan was thinking and reached out to pat her head, saying, “Don’t be afraid. I said I would stay here to accompany you, so I will definitely accompany you. You don’t need to worry about other things—I can handle them alone.

As for you, you must rest properly. If you don’t rest well, your body won’t be able to handle it. Don’t think about Tang Huairou’s matter anymore. I said I would get you an explanation, so I will definitely get you an explanation. If she doesn’t come to apologize to you, I’ll tie her up and drag her here to apologize to you.”

These words directly made Yun Dan burst into laughter.

However, after closing her eyes, Yun Dan still felt that Yan Ke seemed different from what she had imagined.

They had only met a few times, but he seemed to understand her very well.

No matter what they talked about, even if she didn’t say much, he always easily got her point.

Getting along with such a person was truly without pressure.

If she weren’t in this world but had met him in the real world, she would probably have actively tried to pursue him.

It really was the level of “one glance ruins a lifetime.”

But she was an undercover agent.

If Yan Ke found out someday, he would probably laugh at her, right?

Perhaps… he would even think she wasn’t someone worth befriending deeply.

Forget it, better not to think about it. Some things really did get worse the more you thought about them.

Only after Yun Dan’s breathing had completely stabilized did Yan Ke look at her.

As if possessed by a ghost, he reached out his hand and gently caressed her cheek, saying, “Little Bean Sprout, you need to grow up quickly. Master can’t protect you for a lifetime—you can only rely on yourself.”
