The three of them finished talking about the design, and after eating, Song Ye returned to the set while Ye Qingran and Zixia went home.

On the way back, Ye Qingran looked at Zixia with an ambiguous gaze. There was a hint of teasing in her smile. “My second brother is very high quality, right? If you like him, you have to act quickly. Otherwise, he might be snatched away by someone else.”

Zixia was teased, and her face turned slightly red. “How could you tell that I like him?”

Ye Qingran said, “Didn’t you just say that you two seem to have met somewhere before? This is an old tactic used by men to pick up women. It’s very old-fashioned, but when a girl uses it, it’s very fresh and unique.”

Zixia waved her hand and explained seriously, “That wasn’t a trick. I really feel that I’ve seen your second brother somewhere before. It’s not from a TV series. I must have seen him somewhere before, I just can’t remember where.”

Ye Qingran replied indifferently, “Alright.”

She recalled the contents of the original novel in her mind.

In the original novel, Zixia and Song Ye had very few scenes. The person Zixia liked was Dongfang Yu, and in the end, she was disfigured because of him.

As for Song Ye, he did not tell her whether he had a friend or a girl he liked.

There was also no story of the two of them appearing at the same time, so it was even more impossible to tell if they knew each other.

However, it did not matter.

The original novel was already not completely accurate.

Regardless of whether Song Ye and Zixia knew each other in the past, they already knew each other through her introduction.

Whether there would be any sparks or the possibility of them being together, would depend on the fate of the two of them.

She was only responsible for introducing them to each other. She would not force them.

If they did not like each other, she would not do anything to help them. Their relationship was still to be decided by them.

Of course, if they had feelings for each other, she could also be their matchmaker.

Ye Qingran sent Zixia home.

Under the locust tree outside her door, Zixia looked at Ye Qingran and said, “Thank you for accompanying me today. It did not delay your appointment with Ruoruo’s brother, did it?”

Actually, in the past, she didn’t understand why she was so obsessed with Dongfang Yu. Even if she liked him, it wasn’t that much.

But for some reason she couldn’t let go, and couldn’t accept leaving him. She wanted to marry Dongfang Yu.

Until the time Ye Qingran helped her to fight against Dongfang Yu. She suddenly felt as if she had woken up from a dream.

After that, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that she was a retard in the past. Why did she want to marry Dongfang Yu.

There were plenty of good men.

In the beginning, she asked Ye Qingran to pretend to be her boyfriend. She actually hoped that Ye Qingran could become her real boyfriend.

She was very comfortable and happy with Ye Qingran.

Later, she found out that he actually liked men.

She was quite sad.

However, she would also be like Chi Xun, Tang Tang and Ruoruo, and wish him well.

Ye Qingran smiled and replied, “No need to thank me. If you really want to thank me, remember to give me a discount.”

Zixia scoffed, “Ye Qingran, I used to think that you were an artistic man. I didn’t expect you to reveal your true nature at such a crucial moment. You are indeed the son of a businessman, I won’t argue with you.”

She laughed evilly, “I’m also the daughter of a businessman, I won’t agree to such a loss.”

Ye Qingran shrugged helplessly. “I already gave my second brother to you, yet you don’t even give me a discount. You’re too stingy.”

Zixia glared at him. “You’re spouting nonsense again. Your second brother and I are just friends now. Friends.”

Ye Qingran nodded perfunctorily. “Yes, yes, yes. You’re friends.”

She paused and added, “But, don’t many couples start from being friends.”

As the two of them were chatting, the headlights of a car parked by the roadside suddenly lit up. The two of them subconsciously looked over.

They saw the car door open and a figure alighting from the car. The light was behind him as he walked towards them.

When the person walked closer, they realized that it was Dongfang Yu.

Ever since Zixia and Dongfang Yu had put out the “must break off the engagement” last time, they had not contacted each other.

Dongfang Yu and Mu Qingxue were in a passionate relationship.

Zixia had slowly given up, so she was a little surprised that Dongfang Yu was suddenly at her doorstep.

Zixia narrowed her eyes slightly, and her expression and tone were extremely impolite. “Why are you here?”

Dongfang Yu ignored Ye Qingran’s existence and Zixia’s indifference towards him. He looked at Zixia with a deep gaze. “I was waiting for you. Can we talk for a while?”

“I don’t think there’s anything to talk about between us.” Zixia looked at him and mocked, “Don’t you want to go on a date with your girlfriend?”

Dongfang Yu frowned and said, “I have a girlfriend outside, don’t you have a boyfriend too?”

He glanced at Ye Qingran.

When he saw Ye Qingran looking at him with a faint smile, he immediately thought of Mu Qingxue.

Ye Qingran had four girlfriends, and all of them were deeply in love with him.

But, his own girlfriend had multiple boyfriends at the same time. This wasn’t just a matter of him not being able to compare with Ye Qingran, he was being directly trampled under Ye Qingran’s feet.

At this moment, Ye Qingran must be laughing at him.

Dongfang Yu was a little angry from embarrassment. “We are even, let’s not blame each other.”

Zixia snorted coldly. “So, what are you here for today?”

Dongfang Yu replied, “What would I do here? Naturally, I’m here to talk about our engagement.”

Zixia raised her voice slightly. “Didn’t we already agree to cancel the engagement together? Speaking of which, I want to ask you. Didn’t you say that the engagement would definitely be cancelled? How long has it been? Have you told your father?”

Dongfang Yu laughed, “Do you think I haven’t brought it up? Do you think that just because the two of us had decided, that our engagement can be cancelled? I’ve already brought it up, but my family didn’t agree, and my grandfather has already contacted your grandfather to hold the engagement ceremony during the New Years.”

Zixia immediately denied, “I don’t agree!”

Dongfang Yu asked, “Can you disagree? If you could, the both of us would’ve cancelled our engagement much earlier. Since we can’t cancel the engagement, let’s just be husband and wife in name. I’ve already broken up, I hope that you can break up too. I don’t want others to gossip that my fiancée is hanging out with other men.”

Zixia was furious. “You broke up because Mu Qingxue cheated on you. You’re afraid of being mocked with a fiancée that hangs out with other men everyday, and you’ve been hit already..”

Dongfang Yu warned, “Zixia, enough is enough!”

Zixia sneered, “Who do you think you are? You want me to stop, and I have to stop. If you want me to break up, I have to break up. Why should I pick the man that Mu Qingxue ruined? Let me tell you, I will definitely break off our engagement.”

The smile on Dongfang Yu’s face suddenly became unpredictable. “Should I say that you are naïve or stupid?”
