However, she couldn't recall exactly what had happened for the moment.
So in the evening, she really did go to the bonfire party.
Zhang Wan accompanied her, and Aunt Tian came along too. The three of them sat down at an open - air pub.
Before long, Aunt Tian took out a blanket from her bag and draped it over Xu Tingyu's shoulders.
"Madam, it's cool in the evening. You've just recovered from your illness. You should keep warm."
Xu Tingyu had fallen ill as soon as she arrived, and as her nanny, Aunt Tian felt responsible.
Thankfully, both Xu Tingyu and Qi Ye were kind and didn't blame her.
So now, of course, she had to take better care of Xu Tingyu.
Xu Tingyu thanked her in a low voice.
After sitting for a while, she noticed that Aunt Tian was constantly looking excitedly towards the seaside where there was a performance. She couldn't help but smile.
"If there's somewhere you want to go, just go and have a look. I'll sit here. I'll be fine."
She was always kind to those around her, so the staff at home all liked her.
But on the way here, Zhang Wan had already told Aunt Tian to stay by Xu Tingyu's side all the time, in case something else happened to her.
So even though Aunt Tian really wanted to go and have a look, she didn't dare to agree.
"No, I'd better stay with Madam. Madam, would you like something to eat?"
This was a pub, and there were only fruit platters and snacks.
The three of them had taken a table and naturally ordered drinks and snacks.
But since they sat down, Xu Tingyu hadn't touched a thing.
Remembering that Xu Tingyu had eaten snacks the day before, Aunt Tian thought that maybe she wanted some snacks and thus offered.
Xu Tingyu didn't feel like eating anything. In fact, she felt a bit nauseous because of that small piece of cake.
But if she said she felt unwell now, it would probably cause quite a stir.
So she smiled and said, "I saw they were selling sour and spicy green mangoes over there yesterday. Could you buy me a serving?"
She rarely made any requests, so as soon as she said this, Aunt Tian quickly stood up.
"Sure, sure, sure. I'll go and buy it right away. You just sit here and don't move around."
Xu Tingyu was a bit helpless and said with a smile, "Go ahead. Zhang Wan is here with me."
Aunt Tian glanced at Zhang Wan beside her. Her face showed a moment of hesitation, but she still replied, "Okay, I'll be back soon."
However, after walking a few steps, she couldn't help but turn back and look at the two of them. She murmured worriedly, "Oh, it's really a pity."
She could tell that Zhang Wan had feelings for Qi Ye.
No, to be more precise, everyone could tell that Zhang Wan had special feelings for Qi Ye.
Except Xu Tingyu.
In other families, if a husband had such a young and beautiful assistant around him, the wife would surely be worried and would interfere.
Moreover, it was obvious that Zhang Wan had ill intentions towards Qi Ye.
But Xu Tingyu, perhaps being carefree or perhaps being confident in her deep - seated relationship with Qi Ye, never interfered.
Qi Ye was also very considerate towards Xu Tingyu, yet he kept such an assistant around and often let Zhang Wan accompany Xu Tingyu.
What kind of thing was this?
Aunt Tian shook her head and quickened her pace towards the night market.
As soon as Aunt Tian left, neither Zhang Wan nor Xu Tingyu said a word. They just quietly listened to the music.
Finally, Zhang Wan couldn't hold back.
"You shouldn't have agreed to let Chen Chunyao accompany the boss."
She knew that Qi Ye had no feelings for Chen Chunyao, but Chen Chunyao was always trying to get ahead.
This Xu Tingyu was just too carefree.
No, to be more precise, she just didn't care, which was why she was so confident in letting other women take care of her fiancé.
She had thought that Xu Tingyu had taken a fancy to the boss before.
But now it seemed that she didn't at all.
Hearing Zhang Wan speak, Xu Tingyu raised her eyebrows and looked over. "Why? They're both sick and can't go out. They can take care of each other."
Zhang Wan couldn't help but be amused by anger. "In the end, you just don't love enough. If you really liked the boss, you wouldn't allow any other woman to get close to him."
Xu Tingyu was even more surprised when she heard this.
"Why do you think so? It's just to let them take care of each other a bit. And there are bodyguards there. How can it be considered getting close?"
"Are you saying that just because Qi Ye is going to marry me, there can't be any opposite - sex around him?"
"Then the first person I should object to shouldn't be you? Zhang Wan, you've been with him for longer than I have."
There was innocence and surprise in her beautiful eyes, but if you looked closely, you could also find hidden probing.
Zhang Wan blushed a bit from being counter - questioned. "I'm different."
Seeing her like this, Xu Tingyu didn't hide her sneer anymore. "You are different. You openly covet Qi Ye."
"Oh, you're so excited to see Chen Chunyao with Qi Ye. Are you really worried about me or just jealous?"
"It's really interesting. You, a woman who wants to be a mistress and get ahead, are actually on guard against a potential fourth - mistress and even want to use me?"
"Do you think I'm that stupid in your heart?"
Since Zhang Wan had no shame, she didn't need to be polite either.
Wasn't it just saying harsh words? She could say even harsher ones.
Zhang Wan had been called a "mistress" before and now a "home - wrecker". She was so angry that her eyes were red.
But she couldn't find the right words to refute for a moment.
Because her thoughts had really been hit.
She was just worried that if Chen Chunyao was with Qi Ye, she would make another move on Qi Ye.
And she had no status to speak out, so she could only use others to do her dirty work, and Xu Tingyu was that "knife".
But Xu Tingyu not only refused to be that "knife" but also turned around and ridiculed her.
"Zhang Wan, I'm really curious. You've been by Qi Ye's side for so many years and you're deeply in love with him. Why haven't you two gotten together?"
"I see that he's always kept you by his side. You must be special to him. Then why, in the end, did he choose me?"
Although her words seemed to be "sincerely asking for advice", in Zhang Wan's ears, it sounded more like showing off.
She took a deep breath, knowing that she couldn't be led by her emotions. Otherwise, if Qi Ye found out, she would be finished.
"Because the boss has only liked you from the very beginning to the end."
When saying that Qi Ye only liked Xu Tingyu, Zhang Wan's eyes became even redder.
But her words didn't move Xu Tingyu.
She still looked at her with an expressionless face, and there was a bit more interest in her eyes. "Really? He's so innocent."
These words clearly placed herself in a superior position and made fun of Qi Ye in a condescending way.
As Xu Tingyu had expected, as soon as Zhang Wan heard these words, she was obviously more excited than when she was humiliated just now.
She took several deep breaths but couldn't calm down her emotions.
Finally, she couldn't help but speak. "However, Miss Xu, from an outsider's perspective, the boss's obsession with you may outweigh his love."
"So don't be too capricious, or you'll make him lose patience. After he really gets to know you, you'll lose everything."
