Lu Tianyang pressed his lips against hers, and Ye Ya's eyes widened in shock.
Seizing the moment to resist, Ye Ya broke free from him and swiftly slapped him across the face, leaving Lu Tianyang stunned on the sofa.
Wiping her mouth with her hand, Ye Ya glared at him with fury, her finger trembling as she pointed at him. "Lu Tianyang, you shameless liar! You promised you wouldn't touch me!"
"It was you who seduced me first," Lu Tianyang replied, rubbing his sore cheek. This woman was pushing his limits time and again.
Ye Ya was left speechless by his words; what kind of excuse was that? It was clearly his own shamelessness.
"I don't believe you anymore. Just get out!" Ye Ya stormed over to the door and flung it open. She refused to trust this man any longer; he was too dangerous. The most perilous moment had been when she accepted his kiss. In the past, if any man dared to get that close to her, Ye Ya would have made sure he regretted it.
Lu Tianyang approached her, observing the woman who was now bristling with anger, a smirk playing on his lips. "Xiao Ya, why are you so nervous? Are you worried about falling for me?"
It felt like a cheating student being caught by a teacher. Ye Ya masked her emotions with anger. "Pfft! Who would fall for you? Stop flattering yourself."
Lu Tianyang closed the door behind him and said helplessly, "Xiao Ya, do you really want the neighbors to see us making fools of ourselves? If you're in love, just admit it. I’ll let you love me."
Had he ever seen someone so full of themselves? Did he think he was some kind of currency that everyone would want?
"Lu Tianyang, can you stop being so narcissistic? Even if I fell for a pig, I wouldn't fall for you!" Ye Ya was seething with frustration. This was her territory; why did this man feel entitled to act recklessly here?
"Ye Xiao Zhu," Lu Tianyang laughed heartily and gently tapped her nose, which only made Ye Ya want to bite him in retaliation.
Ye Ya felt that if she saw this man again, she might lose her mind. So, without wasting another moment on him, she slammed the door shut.
Lu Tianyang looked at the closed door and shook his head. This woman's heart was truly cold, like a stone.
Meanwhile, Du Huiru knew that Ye Ya had already moved out of Yiju Mountain Villa. She initially felt relieved, thinking that this woman had some sense. However, she couldn't understand what kind of magic Ye Ya had used to make Lu Tianyang not return home but instead go to her place.
She had already learned that such a small house could hardly accommodate anyone.
The more she thought about it, the more she found Ye Ya terrifying. What on earth did she have that could captivate her son so completely?
"Husband, you need to keep an eye on your son; he's gone to see that woman again." Just the thought of Ye Ya potentially becoming her daughter-in-law made Du Huiru's scalp tingle. What was so special about that woman besides being a bit pretty?
"I think your son is just after something new; it'll pass in time. Besides, didn't he promise not to marry that woman? Let him have his fun outside," Lu Jianming replied, believing that as long as she wasn't brought into their family, everything else could be managed.
Du Huiru thought about it and agreed. As long as she wasn't brought into the family, it was just a phase for their son. As for the daughter-in-law of the Lu Family, naturally, they would find someone of good family background and appearance.
Days passed by, and finally, Ye Ya reached the one-month milestone with her child. She planned to invite Tao Momo and her family over for a small celebration, while Lu Tianyang believed it should be a grand affair. After all, how could he possibly keep things low-key for his daughter?
Hearing his opinion, Ye Ya couldn't help but chuckle. "Come on, Lu Tianyang. If you go all out with a big celebration, will you and the child still have peaceful days? Are you trying to make me headline news again?"
Lu Tianyang considered her words and found them reasonable. After all, they weren't married yet; if this got out, it wouldn't be good for either her or the child. It was better to keep things low-key until they were married; then they could celebrate whenever they wanted.
On the day of the child's one-month celebration, Lu Tianyang instructed his secretary to rearrange or postpone meetings so he could leave early. Unexpectedly, he received a call from Du Huiru.
"Mom, what's up?" Lu Tianyang didn't want to create tension in their relationship before marriage; it wouldn't be fair to Ye Ya in the future.
“Lu Tianyang, you haven’t been home for days. Your mother has something to say to you tonight,” Du Huiru thought her son was being raised by someone else; it was difficult to even see him.
“Mom, I have very important guests tonight. I can’t afford to offend them. I promise I’ll come back tomorrow night, okay?” Today was Chen Chen’s full moon celebration, and no matter what, he had to be there for them.
That woman, Ye Ya, was already unhappy with him; he couldn’t let her down again. The biggest challenge now was getting Ye Ya to agree to marry him.
This woman was incredibly stubborn, resistant to both soft and hard approaches, which truly gave him a headache.
“Lu Tianyang, don’t think your mother doesn’t know who you’re seeing. Let me tell you, it’s fine to play around outside, but if you want to bring her home, don’t expect us to agree.”
“Mom, enough. I have things to do; I need to go to a meeting.” Lu Tianyang hung up the phone, feeling the weight of both external and internal pressures. Life was genuinely tough.
Qi Fan called him, suggesting they go out and relax tonight.
“I can’t today; my daughter’s full moon celebration is causing me a headache. Her mother still isn’t willing to marry me. Qi Fan, think of a way for me.”
As soon as he finished speaking, laughter erupted from the other end of the line. Qi Fan laughed so hard he had to hold his stomach. “Lu Tianyang, what are you saying? The child is already born, and she still doesn’t want to marry you?”
“Laugh all you want; it’s easy for you,” Lu Tianyang thought. If it weren’t for that idiot arranging some ridiculous birthday party back then, things wouldn’t have escalated this far. Perhaps this is just life—full of unexpected twists.
“Alright then, today is still my niece’s full moon celebration. Where is the banquet being held?” Qi Fan asked, his laughter subsiding as his remaining conscience prevented him from continuing.
“At the Sheraton Hotel. Don’t come empty-handed; bring a gift for my daughter.” Lu Tianyang hung up the phone, realizing that his only friend attending would be Qi Fan.
Before the end of the workday, Zuo Kai placed a gift box on his desk. Inside were not only a longevity lock for his daughter but also a gift for Ye Ya. He feared that the woman might refuse to accept it; sometimes, her stubbornness made him grit his teeth, yet there was nothing he could do about it.
Originally, Ye Ya planned to simply invite friends over for a meal at home. However, Lu Tianyang believed that not allowing him to host a grand banquet was already a significant concession. They had to dine out instead. Moreover, he had a purpose; he needed to make a good impression in front of the Tao family and win them over to his side. The more people who spoke positively about him in Ye Ya's ear, the better.
Last time at the hospital, Tao Mama seemed to have a decent impression of him.
This time, Lu Tianyang even sent someone to pick them up. Tao Momo was busy at her shop and arrived a bit late.
Qi Fan was also delayed because he was struggling with what gift to buy for Little Milk Bun.
Tao Momo had just dealt with a difficult customer and quickly tidied up before heading out. Her parents were already at the hotel, and she couldn’t keep them waiting too long.
Feeling anxious, she glanced at the traffic light while crossing the street and saw there were only a few seconds left. She decided to dash across since the hotel was nearby, and walking would be quicker.
Suddenly, a silver Porsche nearly collided with her. Tao Momo took off her glasses and walked over to knock on the window. “Are you in such a hurry to change your tires? You could have killed someone! Can you afford that?”
Qi Fan looked out from the car window at the beautiful woman who was being so rude and shook his head. “Miss, hasn’t anyone told you that girls should be more refined? Besides, did I hit you?”
“Refined my foot! Do I need to be polite to someone like you who thinks they’re rich? Pfft!” Tao Momo was furious; this guy nearly hit her and didn’t even apologize but instead lectured her on being refined.
Qi Fan thought to himself that he had encountered a shrew today. Wasn’t she just trying to extort money? He pulled out his wallet and took out a stack of Renminbi, saying impatiently, “Fine, you just want money, right? Here you go. Now get out of my way; I’m in a hurry.”
The cars behind him honked loudly in frustration. Tao Momo felt infuriated; she smirked slightly as she took the money from him and then forcefully threw the stack back into the car, scattering Renminbi everywhere inside. “I’m in a hurry too! Keep this petty cash for yourself; be careful not to get yourself killed later!”
Tao Momo spat and, in her high heels, rushed across the street just as the light turned green.
"You, you..." Qi Fan had never encountered such an arrogant woman before. She had no sense of decorum, and her words were venomous. Whoever ended up marrying her would be doomed to misfortune.
Tao Momo hurried to the hotel and had just stepped into the elevator when a shoe blocked the door. "Wait a minute!"
As Qi Fan entered the elevator, he noticed another woman inside. Seeing an enemy made his blood boil. Tao Momo scoffed, "Are you crazy? Why are you following me?"
"I think you need to get your head checked. With looks like yours, there are plenty of people on the street. Do I really need to follow you?" Qi Fan retorted with a scoff, the small space filled with tension.
Tao Momo thought it was beneath her to argue with someone like him.
Qi Fan figured that a good man shouldn't bicker with a woman.
Thus, both fell silent, but their eyes betrayed a mutual desire to kill each other.
The elevator dinged, and neither wanted to see the other again. They both stepped out simultaneously, getting stuck at the elevator door.
"You pervert! Don't say you're not following me!" Tao Momo shouted as she swung her bag at him.
Qi Fan caught her bag with one hand. "Who’s following you? I'm going to Room 809. As for you, let me make it clear—I have no interest in women like you."
Tao Momo felt a surge of anger rise within her. Just then, her phone rang. Seeing it was Ye Ya calling, she squeezed out of the elevator and couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Ya, are you sure your room is 809? Did you get it wrong?" She couldn't believe that Xiao Ya would invite such a rude man.
"Are you here yet?" Ye Ya knew she was busy and felt a bit awkward, especially since Mo Mo had been handling many things because of her childbirth.
"I'm almost there," Tao Momo replied as she walked over while still on the phone.
Standing at the door, Tao Momo and Qi Fan exchanged glances. Lu Tianyang, with keen eyes, noticed them. "Why aren’t you coming in? We’ve been waiting for you two. Xiao Ya, let me introduce you; this is my good friend, Qi Fan."
Qi Fan stepped forward, politely handing over a gift. "Hello, Sister-in-law. I wish Chen Chen health and happiness, and may she grow more beautiful."
Ye Ya felt a bit embarrassed; accepting the gift felt awkward, but rejecting it seemed even worse. Fortunately, Lu Tianyang took the gift from him.
"Mo Mo, come sit down. By the way, this is my best friend, Tao Momo."
Tao Momo looked a bit frustrated. "Mom and Dad, Xiao Ya, sorry to keep you waiting. Let me hug my Godmother first."
Lu Tianyang glanced at the tension between Qi Fan and Tao Momo and couldn't help but lower his voice to ask, "What’s going on between you and Mo Mo? She’s Ye Ya’s best friend; we can’t offend her. I’m counting on her to say good things about me in front of Ye Ya."
Qi Fan gasped; was it really this serious? Did he have to curry favor with that woman? What a joke!
