Chapter 55 The Surprising Younger Sister
"Expensive?" Ye Fei exclaimed, "This is the cheapest jewelry my sister would consider. We've been to those big stores, and the other jewelry she liked cost at least over a million."
"Is that so?" Zhang Yu couldn't help but feel skeptical. He knew a bit about Ming Yuexin's character. She wasn't a materialistic girl, so why did she like such expensive jewelry? Thus, he said, "But I've never seen your sister wear any jewelry."
"Yeah," Ye Fei said as a matter of course, "it's because she doesn't like ordinary jewelry and can't afford the ones she likes. That's why she doesn't wear any.
Think about it, what kind of person is my sister? It's not an exaggeration to say she's one of the most beautiful women in Wanghai.
If it weren't for her having some feelings for you, let alone two hundred thousand, even if you gave her twenty million, she wouldn't even spare a glance!"
Ye Fei's comment about Ming Yuexin having some feelings for him made Zhang Yu extremely pleased. Excited, he waved for the owner and in a very confident manner said, "Bring out this ring, I'll take it!"
The owner had been troubled by this ring for a long time. He had bought it to attract customers when he first opened, but it had never been sold. Now that someone was finally willing to buy it, he was overjoyed. He personally put it in a beautiful box for Zhang Yu, inflating his final vanity.
After leaving the jewelry store, Zhang Yu treated Ye Fei to a meal, then hailed a taxi, gave the driver two hundred yuan, and instructed him to follow Ye Fei's directions before returning to the police station with hope.
When Zhang Yu returned to the police station, it was during the night shift meal for the officers, and Ming Yuexin was also on duty for the night shift due to interrogating the Black Wolf. She was sitting in the cafeteria with everyone else.
Seeing that almost all the officers on the night shift were gathered in the cafeteria, Zhang Yu thought it was a perfect opportunity. He quickly walked up to the table where Ming Yuexin was dining and gazed at her with what he believed to be a very affectionate look.
Ming Yuexin was not surprised by Zhang Yu's arrival, but she felt quite annoyed. She said, "Zhang Yu, you're not on the night shift, why haven't you gone home?"
Confidently, Zhang Yu mistook Ming Yuexin's dismissal as concern. After some hesitation, he knelt in front of Ming Yuexin, his voice sending shivers down her spine as he declared, "Xin, I like you. Since the first time I saw you, I have deeply fallen in love with you..."
"Are you out of your mind?" Ming Yuexin didn't expect this approach and interrupted him, feeling awkward.
"I am crazy, crazy in love with you!" Zhang Yu exclaimed astonishingly. He then took out the box containing the ring from his pocket, opened it dramatically, and presented it to Ming Yuexin. "Diamonds symbolize eternity, and my heart, like this diamond, will love you eternally. Promise me, be my girlfriend, please?"
Their commotion had attracted everyone's attention. Several female officers couldn't help but exclaim when they saw the ring in the box. Since the store was near the police station, they had visited it before and had seen this flagship item. They were envious to see Zhang Yu buy it to pursue Ming Yuexin.
However, Ming Yuexin didn't even look at it. She maintained a cold expression and said, "Zhang Yu, what are you playing at? I've already said, there's no possibility between us."
"No, you don't need to lie to me." Zhang Yu was getting emotional. "Your brother has told me everything."
"My brother? Where did I get a brother?" Ming Yuexin was perplexed but then recalled Ye Fei, whom he had interrogated. She asked, "Right, what about the boy you interrogated? You didn't use any torture on him, did you?"
"How could I?" Zhang Yu lowered his voice. "How could I use any torture on your brother? I've already released him."
Hearing him mention her brother again, Ming Yuexin sighed in exasperation. "I've already said, I don't have a brother."
"You don't need to lie to me." Zhang Yu now firmly believed in Ye Fei, "That kid just now is your younger brother, named Ming Ye Fei, he told me everything."
"I'll say it again, my parents only have me as a child, there are no siblings at all, let alone a younger brother named Ming Ye Fei!" Ming Yuexin said somewhat impatiently, turned his head and ignored Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu realized something was wrong only then. After all, he was in charge of the household registration. Ming Yuexin had no reason to lie about this. It seemed he had been fooled by that kid.
"You brat, how dare you lie to me! Just wait and see what I'll do to you!" Zhang Yu blurted out harshly, then realized there were many people around now. Thinking he had been tricked by a kid, he couldn't bear to stay any longer, so he quickly ran out of the restaurant.
Watching Zhang Yu's somewhat embarrassed figure, Ming Yuexin felt somewhat amused. Previously, he had only felt disgust towards this guy, but now he felt a bit of pity. To be fooled so thoroughly by a kid, how low must this guy's intelligence be? But thinking of that annoying kid who not only ate his tofu but also made him so embarrassed, Ming Yuexin couldn't help but feel a bit itchy with anger.
As for Ye Fei, after letting the taxi driver drop him off a short distance, he got out of the car and quickly ran back home, quietly entering his bedroom and lying down next to Ye Yunqi.
Thinking about today's experiences, Ye Fei felt a bit emotional. Unexpectedly, he now had a second secret transformation, which would make many things much easier in the future. Finally, thinking of that annoying kid, not only did he eat his tofu, but also made him so embarrassed, Ye Fei couldn't help but chuckle. This time, not only did he deal with Ye Yu's lackey, but it seemed even that police girl who disrupted his plans and accused him wouldn't have it easy. It was truly killing two birds with one stone.
Ye Fei was feeling pleased, but suddenly felt that something was off with Ye Yunqi beside him. He quickly turned to look at her.
At this moment, Ye Yunqi, unaware of what nightmare she had just experienced, looked tense, with traces of tears at the corners of her eyes. Ye Fei couldn't help but feel heartbroken. He gently embraced her smooth body, patting her jade-like back gently.
Perhaps catching a familiar scent, Ye Yunqi suddenly held Ye Fei tightly, whispering, "Brother, don't leave me, never!"
Ye Fei kissed her soft cheek and said with a gentle yet firm voice, "Little sister, rest assured, brother won't let anyone take you away from me, no one can separate us!"
As if hearing Ye Fei's promise in her dreams, Ye Yunqi's tightly furrowed face slowly relaxed. She shifted in his arms, finding the most comfortable position to continue her sleep. Ye Fei closed his eyes as well.
In the morning, Ye Fei was awakened by Ye Yunqi, as had become a habit. Opening his eyes, he saw Ye Yunqi's sweet smile, but how could the faint sorrow in her eyes escape Ye Fei, who understood her so well?
"Yunqi, I want to tell you about a major decision I made last night!" Ye Fei embraced his beloved twin sister and intended to share his decision with her, so she wouldn't need to worry or be distressed.
"What decision?" Yunqi asked, knowing that their time together was limited to these last few years, so she cherished every moment and took each of his words and decisions seriously.
"Then you tell me, do you want to be together with me for our whole lives?" Ye Fei felt it necessary to confirm her feelings once again.
Yunqi, feeling a bit annoyed that her brother brought up this matter that caused her so much distress, sighed and said, "Yes, I do want to, but I also know it's impossible, so you don't need to worry about me clinging to you."
"Alright, then I'll tell you my decision." Ye Fei held her face in his hands, gazing deeply into her eyes, and said firmly, "I want to be with you for the rest of my life, never to be apart, not even our mother can separate us!"
"Is what you're saying true?" Yunqi felt like she was dreaming.
"Yes!" Ye Fei nodded firmly, "Yes, from today on, you are mine, and I am yours. No one can separate us!"
"That's great!" Yunqi cheered, jumping up from Ye Fei, but her legs felt weak, and she collapsed back down.
