Chapter 2: Chapter 2 Man, Help me_1
Ye Anran suddenly realized, this was not a joke!
No one would make such a joke during a proposal!
Her face turned pale in an instant.
But she couldn't figure out, when had Bo Youlin and Ye Rouxin become involved?
And she had been completely oblivious to it all along.
Apparently, she had been remarkably foolish!
At this moment, Ye Anran felt not only heartache but also embarrassment and anger.
S city's social circle could be large or small, and the Bo and Ye families were both highly prestigious in S city, so many people knew about her relationship with Bo Youlin.
Surprise!
Bo Youlin had indeed given her a significant 'surprise'!
Ye Anran sneered.
But she didn't understand, even if he had fallen for Ye Rouxin, he could have told her outright. She was not the kind of woman who clings desperately, if they wanted to be together, she would have been willing to let them. Was it necessary to humiliate her in front of everyone?
This was more than merely betrayal, it was humiliation!
Ye Rouxin's happy face held a pitiful twinge as she said timidly: "Youlin, I'm sorry, I can't accept…you are my sister's boyfriend…we shouldn't be doing this!"
Bo Youlin held Ye Rouxin's hand tenderly, giving Ye Anran a cold and ruthless look, his words were even crueler: "I never loved her at all, I felt nothing being with her! The person I love is you, and you and I have already…"
Ye Anran interrupted Bo Youlin, with a daunting voice trembling, appearing even more pitiful: "No, Youlin, please don't say anymore, that night was just an accident…"
"Rouxin, even if it was an accident, it was a beautiful one!" Bo Youlin embraced the weak Ye Rouxin within his arms, passionately stating his emotions.
"No, we were wrong... we owe it to...my sister…" Ye Rouxin slightly resisted, but that struggling only made Bo Youlin pity her even more, holding her ever more tightly.
"Rouxin, don't cry, we weren't wrong, I haven't loved Ye Anran for a long time!"
Bo Youlin suddenly looked up and stared at Ye Anran, his tone full of chilly hostility: "Anran, you can see, the person I love is Rouxin, she is kind and lovely, gentle and beautiful, and we are already together! Please stop bothering me!"
Kind and lovely? Gentle and beautiful?
And even …bothering?
She would have to be brainless to keep bothering him!
Ye Anran bit her lip, staring fiercely at Bo Youlin.
Suddenly she found it all so laughable. How could she have once loved such a disgusting shameless man!
Her eyes stung from holding back tears, but she stubbornly refused to allow herself to cry, blinking forcefully to keep the tears at bay, her lips forcing an upward curl.
Ye Anran! Don't cry!
If you cry, you'll lose your dignity too!
You have to laugh!
You should be grateful that you were able to see this man's true colors so quickly! If you had only discovered this after marriage, it would have been even worse!
Your boyfriend has publicly proposed to your sister, she hadn't expected such a melodrama to happen to her!
Although she felt heartbroken, she refused to let herself weep pathetically under the pitiful gaze of everyone present.
Her fingers dug deeply into her palm, she gritted her teeth, refusing to appear pitiful.
When she looked towards the crowd to see her father watching indifferently, her heart seemed to crack once more.
That was, her father!
"Tonight is truly explosive! The little sister stole her older sister's boyfriend!"
"And judging by Ye Anran's reaction, she was completely unaware!"
"Ye Rouxin really is scheming, poor Ye Anran has lost everything!"
"Such a pity!"
"Such women are always the most foolish!"
"Who told her to always show off her love! But Bo Youlin's taste is really bad, picking from the Ye family's women!"
...
People surrounding her whispered, their voices full of mixed sentiments - triumph in her misfortune and sympathy.
At this moment, Ye Anran was exceedingly miserable, no matter how straight she held herself, the glares of those around her were like the knives in a cold wind, scraping harshly against her.
When Bo Jinyu entered, he happened to witness the whole scene, his indifferent gaze softening when it fell on Ye Anran's stubborn yet helpless face, a twinge of heartache flashing in his eyes.
"Young Master, you've arrived?" The housekeeper guarding the entrance said as he saw Bo Jinyu approaching, hurrying to welcome him.
Bo Jinyu nodded slightly, but was heading towards the center of the room.
When Ye Anran turned around, she saw Bo Jinyu walking towards her.
At this moment, she felt like a drowning person who had just grasped at a lifesaver.
She needed to salvage what was left of her dignity.
This man's features were as finely crafted as a sculpture, exquisite and sharp, his demeanor noble and elegant, far superior to Bo Youlin!
More importantly, neither she nor Bo Youlin knew the man in front of her, perhaps, he could help her!
Almost as if possessed, she slowly stepped in front of him, gently hugging his neck, her movements extremely suggestive, she leaned into his ear and whispered:
"Sir, help me act out this scene, consider it repayment for my dress, please~"
That pleading tone was filled with soft desperation, like a hurt little cat, its hurt and grievances making her all the more pitiful.
At that moment, Bo Jinyu's heart seemed scratched by cat claws, a sweet numb feeling swept over him, an amused smile flirting in the depths of his dark eyes, his slender hand gently patted her arm, his deep voice replying: "Alright!"
When Ye Anran heard him consent, she felt immensely relieved.
At a time like this, she had to rely on a stranger's help.
Gently, she held the man's hand and turned around, facing Bo Youlin and Ye Rouxin once again, her mouth curling into a queenly self-satisfied smile:
"Heh… Do you two actually think I'm stupid? Ye Rouxin, I've known about your secret relationship with Bo Youlin for a long time now, but you know, I am not the least bit sad about it. If the old doesn't go, the new won't come, right? I should really thank you for taking over the scum man for me. Otherwise, I would still be trying to figure out how to break up with him!"
Ye Anran pretends to laugh elegantly, leaning sweetly into the man's chest by her side, her eyes sparkling with joy and sweetness.
Flickering anger flashed in the depths of her eyes.
You want to humiliate me, I will not let you succeed.
If anyone is to be dumped, it should be me dumping you!
Bo Youlin and Ye Rouxin's actions caused a fiery surge of anger in Ye Anran.
She, was never a little lamb!
