My Clever Wife Is Sweet

Ye Nian who just sent the message along with her pictures just heard the lady's voice behind her. Her words shocked her. 'I'm not his girlfriend. But.. can I know about his little secret?' 

Ye Nian wasn't entitled to hear it but in her heart, she longed to know what he was hiding. The way Quin Fei said, she could already guess that there was a big issue that happened back in his university days.

Ye Nian turned around to face her when she spoke, "What do you mean by this?" 

"Why Shi Yu hates me so much and why he is no more in contact with his best friend, his best buddy whom he once cared more than anyone's real brother." There was no expression on her face.

Quin Fei was a fantastic actress and Ye Nian already guessed it right. But deep down she wanted to hear it and her mind's words came on her lips, "Just say what you wish to say." 

Waking closer to her, Quin Fei said, "In university days, Shi Yu found his friend Tang Ye Chen. They both initially started as best friends but later on their friendship became so strong that it was said that it was unbreakable."

"They used to hang out together and he opened all his secrets and feelings to Tang Ye Chen. Not of that, they both were at the top of the class. Sometimes Shi Yu used to top and sometimes Yechen." 

Ye Nian noticed how she described it. How romantically she said, 'Yechen.' But she never heard of this name from his mouth. Neither was this name from any business world. Who was this person?

Quin Fei took a deep breath as if she is expelling a crucial part of her life, "In those days, Tang Yechen and Shi Yu were university national crush. But I only had my eyes on Ye Chen. Back then, I wasn't that famous, but I did possess good body and facial expressions." 

"One day, my friends made me confess my feelings to Tang Yechen, and there I heard that he also likes me. We began dating and used to hang out along with Shi Yu tagging along."

"Just like their friendship, my relationship with Tang Yu Chen also reached new heights. We were also known as power couples. So much in love. Some thought that we will get married immediately after graduation." Quin Fei's eyes started getting red. She was in pain and Ye Nian's eyes furrowed.

"What happens after that? What made Shi Yu back his bond?" Ye Nian found her usual voice. She was quite shocked by herself that she asked such a question.

"It was Tang Yechen who broke their friend. Shi Yu betrayed his trust and it was obvious. It was the final year party and on that day, Tang Yechen was with me. But suddenly he wasn't at the party and I got worried." 

"Shi Yu said that he was in the washroom and I went there to see the boys' washroom but there… S..Shi Yu tried to force himself on me. I said that I was his best friend's girlfriend but he said that he always liked me from the start. It pained him a lot to see us together and that is why he.. tried to do this-"

"IMPOSSIBLE! WHAT RUBBISH ARE YOU TALKING?" Ye Nian was loud. She can't believe her ears that Shi Yu will ever try something like this.

No, she knows him far better than this lady. He will never forgive any girl to like him. Yes, she might accept that he may be like her but he won't force her with him. Never!

Quin Fei looked at Ye Nian and held her shoulders, "You are still young but I have gone through it. At that point, thank God Tang Yechen came and saved me otherwise.. things would have escaped through my hands." 

"Ye Chen broke his friendship with Shi Yu after that. After all, Shi Yu broke the brotherhood code by looking at me. I know you can't accept that but the reality is, Shi Yu liked me a lot and that is why he tried to..force me as well."

But this made no sense to Ye Nian. She knew that Shi Yu would never do anything like this. Why? Her heart wasn't able to accept that he liked someone else in the past. Yes, he was older than her by a few years and he has already completed his education.

One day, she also saw that her parents were deciding on his marriage, and asking him to meet his suitable partner but at that time as well, he ignored it as if he had no idea what they were talking about. 

'Does that mean...he likes this lady still and that's why he never tried to get hitched with someone else? Was this the reason he broke his friendship with his friend?' but still the mind and heart weren't accepting what they are today just now. 

Ye Nian looked at Quin Fei, who still looked heartbroken. "Then are you and Tang Yechen still together?"

Quin Fei lowered her face and then a drop of tears fell from her eyes when she replied back, "No, we aren't. I wanted to go into the industry and he wanted me to stay with him only. He lacked trust in me and that's why we broke off. I had no idea that he will do this..but at this point, I also feel that maybe Shi  Yu was the best option."

"He might hate me but I know that he still has feelings for me. When I saw you altogether within, my blood boiled. You see that, if he liked me once then he would still have feelings for me now, right? I...I just wished to be with him and I know he wants the same from me.." 

Ye Nian is loooked at her as if she was looking at any fool at his point. 'If he liked you then won't he come with you now..? Won't he have proposed to you already?' but still, he hasn't proposed to anyone else as well.

Ye Nian wished to say but no words came out of her mouth and instead of saying anything to her, Ye Nian walked off from that place and went to her car where the driver brought her back to the house. 

On the way, she saw different big buildings but she was absorbed in only one thing. Just knowing the truth, makes her stomach churn but somewhere she also doesn't wish to admit the reality that might be true.

"That means..if I confess to him, I will be rejected straight away, won't I?" Despite that, she doesn't wish to make any assumptions about her. 

But what other option does she have at this point? Can she clarify this from him? 'Won't he get angry if I ask this from him?' she was afraid of his anger. He would burst and might never talk to her. This was the last thing she wishes to have been done to her at this point!!

"C'mon, Ye Nian...buckle up yourself. You need to act fast..." in her mind, she already needs to reach the top but then,  her phone vibrated and her eyes glittered to see the message from a certain person!
