Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption-Chapter 1037 - 608: The Blaze of Gossip

"Luoluo, are you just going to let him off like that?" Luo Ye closed the door and turned around, almost bumping into Xing Nong who was gossiping in front of her. She glared at him, "Are you trying to scare someone to death here?"

"Hehe..." Xing Nong pointed towards the kitchen, "I’m worried, what if your Old Ye hears us and skins me alive?"

"Serves you right!" Luo Ye snorted, "You’re so gossipy, you should be skinned alive."

"I’m just being kind-hearted!" Xing Nong pouted, "Worrying for who, may I ask?"

Luo Ye squinted at her, "To satisfy your curiosity about seeing a joke."

"Such a huge misunderstanding," Xing Nong stomped her foot, "Do I really look like that kind of person to you?"

Luo Ye grunted, "You totally do."

"Luoluo, tell me honestly, do you really feel nothing at all? That woman has known Ye Xuan for fifteen years and looks so much like you.

Do you really believe everything Old Ye says? Are you sure he didn’t fall for you because of that woman? Tell me your real thoughts..." Xing Nong leaned over towards the kitchen, "Don’t worry, Old Ye is busy. He can’t hear anything we’re saying, plus Yao Yao is over there, she’ll give us a heads up if anything happens."

"You guys..." Luo Ye gave a wry smile, "Why are you acting like you’re part of the underground party? Okay, let me ask you, if you were me, what would you do?"

Xing Nong shook her head, "I wouldn’t be as magnanimous as you. Honestly, if someone suddenly showed up like that on Lu Lu’s side, I’d definitely scratch Lu Lu’s face."

Luo Ye spread her hands, "I don’t have nails as long as yours."

"I’m being serious, not joking with you," Xing Nong said in exasperation, glaring at her, "If you keep being so unserious, Yao Yao and I won’t help you anymore!"

Luo Ye sighed helplessly, "Okay, I’ll be honest. To say I feel nothing at all, I would have to be either not human or not like Ye Xuan.

But Ye Xuan’s looks are there. From the day I chose him, I was prepared for this. If I really fight with him, it’s going to be a lifetime of fighting, so I can only adapt myself.

Of course, as for Ouyang Zijing, I absolutely won’t let my guard down, and if anything happens between them, I’ll let go immediately.

It’s not that I’m so magnanimous, but I hate this kind of endless drama. If he’s not firm, then why should I hold onto him?"

"Well said!" Xing Nong breathed a sigh of relief, "Now I can relax. You have no idea, Yao Yao and I worried all the way that you’d be too stubborn and suffer for it, being blindly generous."

"Seriously, do I seem like that kind of person?" Luo Ye rolled her eyes, "When it comes down to it, it all depends on his self-awareness. If I have to rely on jealousy or control to prevent it, how exhausting would that be?"

"Exactly..." Xing Nong frowned, "Luoluo, do you think it’s just his purple eyes? Why is he so popular? Maybe we should wear purple lenses too?"

Luo Ye sneered, "Do you want Lu Lu to chase after you?"

"He wouldn’t dare!" Xing Nong embraced Luo Ye’s arm ingratiatingly, "Luoluo, I really have to thank you. If it weren’t for you, he’d still be pestering me like before."

Luo Ye thought for a moment, "Actually, everything has pros and cons. Someday, when you love him more deeply, you might actually wish he would pester you every day. People are always so contradictory.

Besides, the feelings between men and women tend to reverse over time. You’ll see."

Xing Nong pouted, "I won’t. If that wretched guy is willing to let go, I’d be delighted. There are millions of handsome men in the world, why should I settle my eyes on just one and lose out on enjoying the view?"

"Okay, keep being stubborn. Time will prove it." Luo Ye said as she walked towards the kitchen, peering in, "What’s cooking?"

"Stir-fried green beans, celery with lily bulbs, lamb chops with yam, braised pig trotters, pickled fish, sea cucumber soup..." Yaoguang listed dish after dish.

Luo Ye smiled and patted her, "Yao Yao, you could work part-time at Liangyou during your breaks. You’re quite qualified."

Yaoguang nodded, "Sure, how much would you pay me per month? This miss is short on money, unlike you guys, who are rolling in wealth."

"Uh..." Xing Nong sized her up, "Tell me, what do you need so much money for? As far as I know, your grandpa gives you quite a generous monthly allowance, and with the stipend we get, you’re also quite wealthy."

"Compared to you guys, how can I be considered wealthy? Barely a trickle of cash." Yaoguang sighed, "Only when you need it do you realize how little money you have. I need to work harder and earn more. Luoluo, I’m serious, let me work-study at Liangyou. I don’t require higher wages than others, just the same, but by the day of course."

Luo Ye nodded, "Alright, if you want to go, I’ll mention it to Mr. Qu. But you need to tell me why you’re working so hard to earn money."

"You’ll find out in the future." Yaoguang blushed.

"I know!" Xing Nong suddenly slapped her forehead, "Remember a while back, Zhan Hao said he wanted a professional Canon camera set, totaling over ten thousand. Yao Yao, are you thinking of buying it for Zhan Hao?"

"No," Yaoguang denied, her voice like a mosquito’s buzzing.

Luo Ye rolled her eyes, "Stop pretending. You two are really patient. From the first year when you were attracted to each other, now after these three years you’re still stuck in place.

Should I commend your modesty or call you pretentious? Yao Yao, I’m genuinely reminding you, if you don’t seize the moment, when the internship in the regiment starts in the fourth year, your efforts will have no use.

If Zhan Hao gets assigned to a unit with a lot of female soldiers and someone snatches him away, where will you buy regret medicine and cry?"

"Can female soldiers compare to me?" Yaoguang shook her arms and puffed up her chest, "Do they have a figure as good as mine? Waist is waist, chest is chest, butt is..." Realizing Ye Xuan was still beside her, the assertive Yao Yao instantly fell silent.

"Hehe, can’t compare." Xing Nong wickedly smiled as she backed out, "I’ll go tidy up the table."

Ye Xuan, who had been silent, awkwardly coughed, "It’s time to serve the dishes." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

After the meal, Xing Nong and Yaoguang made excuses to digest their food and ran out the door before Luo Ye could respond.

"These idiots, we’re about to head back." Luo Ye checked the time, stomping her feet in frustration.

Ye Xuan gently hugged her from behind, "Ye’er, I’ll drive you. It won’t take more than forty-five minutes. There won’t be any traffic at this time, and with my skills, what do you have to worry about?"

Nu’an had a busy day with the house changing hands on both sides today, and had a fight with someone, feeling down, so there’ll be fewer updates today. I’ll work hard to post more tomorrow.
