Beautiful Short Love Story : I Will Never Win Against You
Ye Tian had just changed her shoes and was ready to go out when she vaguely heard a noise in the living room.
It must be Aunt Zhang forgetting to turn off the TV again.
She had to change back into her slippers and return to the living room to find the remote control.
She didn’t find the remote, but a news segment on TV made her freeze.
“Midday news: On May 12, 20xx, at 3:22 am American time, the famous media tycoon George Bruce passed away in New York at the age of eighty-two. As he had no children, apart from the part of his wealth donated to charity, his vast inheritance will be inherited by his young widow, Anna Qi, whose real name is Qi Yue. Qi Yue, now twenty-eight years old, is reportedly planning to move to Macau after the funeral…”
On the TV screen, Qi Yue was dressed in black, with no makeup, looking delicate and touching.
Time had indeed been kind to her; she still had that unforgettable classical beauty.
But the world is so big, why did she choose to return to Macau?
Ye Tian’s whole body stiffened, collapsing into the sofa. So, she came back for Gu Huainan, didn’t she?
Chapter One
When Ye Tian arrived at Baile City, it was the peak time for the casino business.
Although night had just fallen in Macau, Baile City was already as bright as day.
Gamblers were in groups, exchanging chips before leisurely joining the gambling tables.
Bikini-clad waitresses shuttled back and forth with champagne, while the colorful chips on the tables glittered under the bright lights, dazzling the eyes.
With a blank expression, Ye Tian walked past table after table, heading straight to the office door at the back.
As usual, Hei Zi was guarding the door. When he saw Ye Tian, a flash of panic crossed his eyes, but he quickly forced a smile and said, “Sister Ye, you’re here? Mr. Gu is meeting an important guest; let me take you to the lounge next door.”
“Oh?” Ye Tian glanced at Hei Zi sharply, “I’d like to see who could be more important than me.”
She pushed her way in, and Hei Zi didn’t dare to really stop her.
Ye Tian stormed in, glanced at the two people sitting opposite each other in the office, and then put on a smiling face: “Who did I think it was? Turns out it’s Qi Yue. You should have told us in advance that you were coming back, so Huainan and I could come to pick you up.”
That “Huainan” was called out familiarly, as if declaring her sovereignty.
She smiled perfectly, afraid that others might see her displeasure, but her eyes were vigilant, sizing up Qi Yue.
She really hadn’t changed much. Although time had passed, it had kindly left no marks on her. Qi Yue was still a radiant beauty, while Ye Tian suddenly felt insecure thinking about the crow’s feet she had noticed in the mirror that morning.
Qi Yue didn’t bother with pretenses, glancing at Ye Tian indifferently, “No need to go to the trouble.”
She was dressed casually, aware of her own grace and status, choosing not to flaunt it, maintaining the utmost low profile.
Only those who could afford to be high-profile could dare to be low-profile. Ye Tian knew she had met a formidable rival. Her face still carried some fragile confidence, but the aura of the legitimate wife she had rehearsed at home vanished without a trace.
It now seemed she was the third party instead.
But she couldn’t be blamed. Anyone facing such a beautiful rival with a vast fortune would lose their composure.
Moreover, Qi Yue and Gu Huainan had such an earth-shattering past.
“Huainan,” Ye Tian stepped forward and held Gu Huainan’s arm, as if grabbing a lifeline in the deep sea, then complained as naturally as possible, “You should have invited Qi Yue to our house.”
She emphasized “our” heavily, the meaning clear.
Qi Yue pretended not to hear, ignoring her, and instead smiled at Gu Huainan, “We’ll be in touch then.”
This was an open provocation.
She had left reluctantly back then, and now she returned in high profile to reclaim what was originally hers.
Even after Qi Yue’s figure disappeared, Ye Tian’s face remained pale, and the hand she had placed in Gu Huainan’s arm suddenly trembled and let go.
She turned to look at Gu Huainan. He was calm, as if their overt and covert battle had not stirred any waves in his heart.
Of course, to him, she had always been insignificant.
Ye Tian hesitated for a long time, feeling petty, but still asked, “You won’t leave me, right?”
Gu Huainan chuckled and knocked her head lightly, “Silly, you’re overthinking.”
Ye Tian tightly gripped Gu Huainan’s hand, feeling slightly reassured as their fingers interlocked.
But she was still a bit scared, remembering that she had snatched Gu Huainan from Qi Yue.
There is a saying, “What you can steal, others can also steal away.”
Chapter Two
Ye Tian first met Gu Huainan in Baile City, but at that time, he was just one of the many caretakers there.
Baile City was Ye’s family business, and Ye Tian would come here to play occasionally.
Everyone knew she was Ye Rongjin’s beloved only daughter, and many people would queue up to lose money to her, trying to curry favor.
She didn’t really care about the money, but living in a gambling city like Macau, gambling a bit out of boredom was just a way to amuse herself.
The first person who dared to win money from her was Gu Huainan.
The caretakers would sometimes set up small tables to gamble near Baile City during their shift changes, which was a common occurrence, and people generally turned a blind eye to it.
