The main reason why he agreed to Zhang Moyang’s bet was that Ye Ting’an wanted to see if Tian Mi still had feelings for Zhang Moyang.
If so—
Ye Ting’an had figured out his feelings for Tian Mi as early as years ago.
He had always been domineering and black-bellied. He could do whatever it took to achieve his goals, or he could lie dormant and wait for an opportunity.
So, even though he fell in love with Tian Mi, he still did not show it.
He was still the same as usual, occasionally taking time to visit Nansong Courtyard to see Tian Mi.
His idea was that if Tian Mi really still liked Zhang Moyang, he wouldn’t let her go either.
Who said a gentleman should keep his word? Who said that a gentleman’s words could not be recalled?
He was just curious about Tian Mi’s feelings.
He had never been a gentleman who kept his word. Zhang Moyang actually knew Ye Ting’an’s character.
However, when he was anxious or nervous, he forgot about it.
He thought that as long as he won Ye Ting’an, Ye Ting’an would definitely keep his promise.
However, Zhang Moyang didn’t have the chance to see Ye Ting’an cheating.
Because he lost directly. Lost completely!
He and Tian Mi only said a few words, and the two of them didn’t even meet for two-quarters of an hour.
Tian Mi’s rejection was too straightforward and direct, without any dragging, and she didn’t let him see any hope.
Zhang Moyang covered his chest. He felt that he even had difficulty breathing at this time.
Looking at Ye Ting’an who was smiling slightly proudly, Zhang Moyang gritted his teeth and said, “I lost today. I admit defeat! But, I tell you, Ye Ting’an! If one day I know that you are not good to Mi’er, even if Mi’er doesn’t want to go with me, I will definitely take her away!”
Ye Ting’an raised his eyebrows: “Don’t worry. I won’t give you this chance!”
His tone was firm, and his serious look stunned Zhang Moyang.
He and Ye Ting’an had known each other for many years, and they helped Jun Xiaoyan together.
Although they occasionally disagreed with each other, he had to admit that Ye Ting’an would be a good man.
It was just: “She is your nominal mother after all. If she also likes you, what will you do?” Zhang Moyang asked.
“If she also likes me, it is naturally the best.”
Ye Ting’an smiled.
To be honest, when he was with Tian Mi, he would always unconsciously test whether Tian Mi had any other feelings for her.
However, Tian Mi was his stepmother, so even if she wanted to conquer Ye Ting’an, she couldn’t be too straightforward.
So no matter how Ye Ting’an tried, Tian Mi was very secretive.
So much so that Ye Ting’an felt that Tian Mi only considered him as a family member, just a son to her.
“Is it the best? You should know how the world will see you if you are together?! I can take her and hide our identity, but how about you? As the Marquis of Pingchang, you can’t take her away according to the oath of the Ye family.”
“What identity do you want her to stay by your side? Or, will she always be the Old Madam of the Marquis of Pingchang, and will she always hide in the dark and never see the light?”
Ye Ting’an had thought about these questions asked by Zhang Moyang a long time ago.
Their Ye family swore to be loyal to the royal family, and the heirs of all generations must protect the heirs of the royal family.
Except for the emperors of all generations and Zhang Moyang who accidentally learned about it, even Jun Xiaoyan didn’t know.
If it weren’t for this oath, how could the Marquis of Pingchang’s title be hereditary?
