"Don't be nervous, I can't eat people."
The low and bewitching voice is heart-stopping.
"You should be the one who should be nervous."
Tang Qingwan took a step forward to distance herself from the person behind her.
Turn around slightly.
Li Xingye raised his eyebrows slightly: "Do you also have this attitude in front of Li Siyan?"
"If the news reaches Grandpa's ears, will he still be defenseless against you? The Li family can live without me as their fiancée. However, there can only be one heir."
Li Xingye casually pinched her chin and raised it, seeing the band-aid on her neck.
"Didn't he suspect where your injuries came from?"
Tang Qingwan pushed his hand away.
He has a habit of ignoring boundaries.
Li Xingye completely turned a deaf ear to her question. Everyone said their own thing, just like playing the piano to a dog.
"It seems that you really know how to please Li Siyan."
His light-black eyes were full of teasing sarcasm and humiliation towards her.
Tang Qingwan really couldn't understand his thoughts: "What on earth are you going to do?"
Li Xingye approached her again, his breath cold: "Wanwan."
His sudden change of title made Tang Qingwan feel unstable.
This was the nickname he used to rub shoulders with her.
He smiled jokingly, his dark eyes flashing with light and shadow: "Are you scared?"
There was a camera in the box that night, which captured a photo of them very close together. Adding to the rendering on the Internet, the ambiguous relationship became darker and darker.
Even if she tried to clarify now, no one would believe her.
Whether true or false, it is a naked provocation.
A provocation to the superior.
Li Siyan was unfazed by this, which made her even more unsure.
The Li family already has several children, but they were defeated by Li Si Yan's overt and covert fights, so they had to give in and compromise, and even "submit themselves". Only then did they achieve the temporary harmony at the family banquet.
He has always seen his brother's ambition.
But he has never had a direct conflict with Li Xingye.
Even so, no one can be broad-minded about this kind of cuckolding news.
Li Xingye had already experienced a near-death experience, so how could he dare to blatantly provoke him?
"Are you crazy?"
Tang Qingwan frowned slightly, and her light brown eyes were covered with a light mist.
The image of him bleeding all over and dying flashed through her mind.
Gliding past his dim eyes and pale face.
Memories will not fade away easily with time.
The cold night was bleak, and even the oxygen I breathed in felt cold and stinging.
Li Xingye lowered his eyes and pinched the zipper of her coat: "There can only be one...so in your heart, I am the unworthy one."
Tang Qingwan didn't mean this at all.
but--
"You just don't deserve it."
"Oh, I even saved your life, which shows how overconfident you are -"
"Shua——"
The zipper went from bottom to top, pulling at her collar with a very aggressive pull.
Tang Qingwan staggered slightly, and was forced to move closer to him.
The distance shortened and the breaths mingled.
Two parallel lines are close together.
Her clear eyes stared at Li Xingye for an instant, revealing clear fear.
The long lost, real her.
"Are you feeling distressed?"
He always knew how to mess with her mood.
"You and I don't even have feelings for each other, so where can I feel the pain?"
Li Xingye's eyes darkened.
"You don't want to pick a man who is willing to send you to my bed?"
Tang Qingwan's eyes were cold: "I won't pick anyone who is better than you."
"Cooperate with me and I can give you what you want." He stopped beating around the bush.
"You know what I want?" She felt that he was too conceited.
But Li Xingye smiled calmly: "I only know that only if I get what I want can you get what you want."
Tang Qingwan felt it was extremely ridiculous and shook his hand away hard.
"Why should I cooperate with an illegitimate child who overestimates his abilities?"
Her mouth became sharper and sharper.
He was indifferent: "Today's news is my meeting gift."
If it's not enough, he can show greater sincerity.
Tang Qingwan clenched her hands tightly. He made it clear that he wanted to force her to submit.
"Qingwan."
Li Siyan walked to Tang Qingwan.
Li Xingye's cold eyes fell on his hand holding his shoulder.
"Is the family banquet over?" Tang Qingwan did not expect Li Si's banquet to come at this time.
Li Siyan smiled warmly: "Grandpa and the others want to talk about something else, so I will come out first."
No wonder Li Xingye was chatting and laughing at the dinner table one second, and the next he could freely appear in the back garden to negotiate terms with her.
"Brother, are you avoiding the family dinner, or are you worried about the backyard?"
These were human words, but Tang Qingwan's scalp went numb when she heard them.
Li Siyan had a gentle smile, and his eyes were calm behind his gold-rimmed glasses.
"The thing I'm most worried about is you. I haven't seen you for a few days, and my face is stained again."
Li Xingye rubbed the fine marks with his fingertips: "This is thanks to Saosao."
Tang Qingwan felt that Li Xingye was looking for death.
"Qingwan is slow and gentle, how can I control you." Li Siyan spoke first, "Otherwise, the media would not have made fake news."
Li Xingye raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Li Si Yan with profound meaning.
"disappointed?"
She clearly felt the air pressure plummeting.
Tang Qingwan put on a polite smile: "The news is false, but my brother is not married yet, and I am afraid that it will block his good marriage."
Instead, I will find steps for people.
"I don't care. There are many women chasing me." Li Xingye chuckled, "I'm just afraid that my brother will be in trouble."
"I heard it." Li Siyan said with a smile, "Are you blaming me for being partial?"
Li Xingye asked back: "Since I had a woman, when did I stop being partial?"
The atmosphere relaxed significantly.
He said: "It is natural to favor one's own woman."
Tang Qingwan's heart sank like a stone in the lake, feeling extremely calm.
Li Siyan's words were very strict.
Every sentence is a woman.
But he didn't mention a word about who his "own woman" was.
Li Siyan only regarded her as a pawn to eradicate dissidents.
He couldn't even tolerate his half-brother, so how could he have any affection for her, an outsider of the Li family.
She and Li Siyan had become friends at first sight.
But marriage makes this friendship sour.
It also allowed her to see the more terrifying side of Li Siyan.
Li Xingye smiled jokingly with a sarcastic tone.
"My own woman, are you talking about her?"
Li Siyan's eyes behind the lenses were a bit piercing.
Tang Qingwan couldn't help but feel a tremor in her heart.
She took over the words: "Are you coaxing my brother or making him jealous? You know he is single."
Li Siyan looked at Tang Qingwan: "Xingye doesn't get jealous that easily."
"After all, he has no shortage of women."
Patting her hand seriously.
It seemed particularly... stiffly intimate.
Tang Qingwan: "..."
The last time I was so speechless was the last time.
"It's time to go back."
She took Li Siyan's arm and was about to leave.
The shoulder was hit mercilessly by the opposite force.
Li Xingye put his pockets expressionlessly and gave her a look that looked like garbage.
"Who is your brother?"
