Chapter 237: I Was Her First Man
Yue Tingfeng looked at the fuming Helan Fangnian, and felt rather satisfied with himself. He mockingly said, “We’re brothers after all, so I really should bring her to meet you.”
Helan Fangnian wanted nothing more than to beat Yue Tingfeng to death. “A gentleman doesn’t steal another’s beloved. I knew Monica first. Yue Tingfeng you’re just despicable.”
He clearly knew she was his woman, but he still went ahead and stole her away. Helan Fangnian could not think of a more appropriate word than ‘despicable’ to describe him.
Yue Tingfeng smirked. “I don’t know any Monica, I only know Yan Qingsi. You knew her first, you said? I don’t think so. Do you know why Yan Qingsi went to country M three years ago? Do you know what kind of guy she was with previously? I do. That guy she had three years ago, that was me. She got caught having sex with me. That’s why the Yan family chased her out of their home. Otherwise, how do you think you got to meet her?”
The expression on Yue Tingfeng’s face was obviously one of gloating. Gloating that he knew Yan Qingsi first, and gloating that he used to have an affair with Yan Qingsi.
His eyes looked like they were saying, “Count your blessings that I didn’t accuse you of stealing my woman instead.”
“Yue Tingfeng... You...”
Yue Tingfeng lifted his chin at him. “I know you don’t believe what I said. You can go ask her yourself, ask her if I was the first man she’s ever been with. Then we’ll see who stole whose woman.”
Even if he did not feel comfortable with it, he still did not want to let Helan Fangnian feel good about it. Yue Tingfeng wanted to catch him by surprise.
“But you don’t love her!” Helan Fangnian practically yelled. He had always been an introverted, calm and soft-spoken man. Though he could make waves with his words when he was in court, he was actually a man of few words and seldom showed his emotions like this.
Helan Fangnian was very upset. The woman he dreamt of for so long—all he wanted to do was to properly love her.
All of it went out the window when this scoundrel cut in to snatch her away. If only this scoundrel was a good person, Helan Fangnian would have been more forgiving. However, he knew better than anyone that Yue Tingfeng will never actually love another person.
He knew Yue Tingfeng, just as Yue Tingfeng knew him.
Yue Tingfeng laughed. “There’s not always a need for love between man and woman. All I know is I want her, and I can’t stand the sight of her being with another man. And that’s enough.”
Yue Tingfeng had never pondered if he loved Yan Qingsi. Every time he saw her, he knew in his mind that he wanted her. He was willing to spend time and money on her and was willing to shamelessly follow her around. That was enough reason to want her as his woman.
Helan Fangnian suddenly remembered that this childhood friend of his always had a way to make everyone he knew hate him, so he said,” Yue Tingfeng, you’ve always been like that since you were a child. Nobody has to give you everything just because you want it. Have you ever considered if she actually wants it?”
Yue Tingfeng remembered the cold piercing stare Yan Qingsi gave him just moments earlier. He laughed coldly, saying, “Why do I need to consider what she wants? All I need to know is what I want.”
“You shameless bastard!” Helan Fangnian pounced on Yue Tingfeng and landed a punch square in his abdomen.
Yue Tingfeng coughed out in pain. Grabbing hold of Helan Fangnian’s wrist and twisting it back, Yue Tingfeng warned him, “Helan Fangnian, if you want her to make the headlines for all the wrong reasons again tomorrow, if you want to ruin your sister’s coming-of-age ceremony, go ahead and make more trouble. I’m not worried at all.”
