Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 1684: Chapter 1683: Actually, Liu Rumei Loves Him Deeply!

[Happy May Day, will there be a surprise reward? Will an Alliance Hierarch appear as a reward? Haha!]

Liu Rumei!

A person deeply intertwined with Ye Tianchen. Back in the day, because Ye Tianchen accidentally saw Liu Rumei bathing, it shocked the entire Capital City, causing the Ye family to fall into a Third-class Family, constantly declining, and turning Ye Tianchen into a laughing stock of many conversations!

Although Ye Tianchen later clarified that the incident was a huge misunderstanding, and both he and Liu Rumei were victims framed by others, the fact that he had unintentionally seen Liu Rumei’s naked body was something that could never be changed. Furthermore, the Liu family constantly pressured the Ye family for Liu Rumei’s reputation, ensuring the two families’ feud was inevitable!

Moreover, though the subsequent investigation proved that they were framed and victims, only those within the Ye and Liu families knew. It couldn’t be publicly disclosed, as it would seem like a deceitful act to improve Liu Rumei’s reputation or make Ye Tianchen’s reputation less disgraceful!

Now, his parents wanted Ye Tianchen to marry, which he could understand. After all, in the Mortal World, he was no longer young and should have been married long ago. His parents’ wish was understandable, but the chosen person was Liu Rumei, which astonished Ye Tianchen, leaving him feeling somewhat absurd!

”Mom and Dad, I know your intentions, but the choice happens to be Liu Rumei. I really find it a bit...” Ye Tianchen said with a hint of bemusement.

Ye Hong, Luo Yan, and Ye Qianwen exchanged glances, and Ye Hong spoke first: ”Tianchen, we understand that there are some misunderstandings and grudges between you and Liu Rumei, but over the years, Rumei has cared for us and the Ye family so much!”

”Yes, son, during the ten years you were away, your father’s and my health declined day by day. Your grandfather passed away, and your uncles were a disappointment. After your grandfather’s death, they were expelled from the Ye family and went abroad, leaving only me, your father, and your sister supporting the family. You know, there are many hidden noble families in China, and the pressure on our Ye family is immense, often beyond our capability!” Luo Yan said, looking at Ye Tianchen.

”Brother, during the nearly ten years you were away from the Ye family, Sister Rumei indeed assisted us greatly, especially in the past year during which dad and mom’s health deteriorated. I didn’t know how to cope. In such dire times, if it weren’t for Sister Rumei, our Ye family wouldn’t have survived, nor could we maintain our position as the leading family in Capital City. It can be said that without Sister Rumei, there wouldn’t be the current Ye family!” Ye Qianwen said earnestly.

Ye Tianchen paused; it seemed his guess was correct. During the nearly ten years he was away, Liu Rumei had indeed helped the Liu family immensely. Just as his sister Ye Qianwen said, without Liu Rumei, the entire Ye family might have been doomed!

However, Ye Tianchen couldn’t understand one thing. Liu Rumei didn’t have strong feelings or relationships with him, even though the incident of him peeking at her bathing was just a misunderstanding, making their relationship awkward at most, more like ordinary friends. Why had Liu Rumei helped the Ye family so much during his absence? Ye Tianchen couldn’t comprehend.

”What confuses me is why Liu Rumei helped our Ye family. Considering the past incident left a knot between me and her, and between the Ye and Liu families, that remains unresolved despite knowing later it was a setup against us. Such a rift can’t be eliminated!” Ye Tianchen addressed his parents and sister, voicing his doubts.

”Indeed, your mom and I also found it strange at first. Why would Liu Rumei go to such great lengths to help the Ye family? We assumed Liu Rumei had some agenda or purpose, yet in these ten years, aside from wholeheartedly aiding the Ye family, she never made any demands!” Ye Hong nodded and said.

”Initially, your father and I thought Liu Rumei had a motive or the Liu family had a plot, maybe dissatisfied seeing the Ye family rising as the top family in Capital City and wanting to pull us down. We were prepared for that possibility. But, after that incident, we realized Rumei genuinely wanted to help the Ye family!” Luo Yan also spoke.

”That incident? What happened?” Ye Tianchen asked curiously.

”Brother, let me tell you, it was five years ago when our Ye family had already become the top family in Capital City. You know, being the top family meant standing on the cliff’s edge, receiving the resentment and suppression from several other families, possibly even assassination. At that moment, five prominent families in Capital City united, not only wanting to drag the Ye family down but to annihilate us completely!” Ye Qianwen spoke with eyes full of anger.

”In such a perilous situation, was Liu Rumei the one who stepped in to help us?” Ye Tianchen thought for a moment and asked.

Ye Hong, Luo Yan, and Ye Qianwen all nodded. Ye Hong added, ”Not just that, Rumei deployed the elite squad secretly cultivated by the Liu family for our aid. That battle had horrific casualties. If it weren’t for Rumei, we might have perished. The joint assault by the five families was indeed overpowering!”

”So that’s how it was, but why did she go to such lengths to help our Ye family? There’s no reason!” Ye Tianchen still didn’t understand.

Ye Qianwen glanced at her brother Ye Tianchen, chuckled, and said, ”Brother, is your emotional intelligence always this low? I recall Sister Rumei once told me that when you caught sight of her bathing, she decided never to marry anyone else. Even if she did, she’d only marry you because at heart, she is deeply traditional, like women in ancient times!”

”What? Impossible! That’s absurd! Liu Rumei had high education; how could she have such outdated thoughts? Viewing her once means marriage? It’s preposterous, akin to those ancient times when seeing a woman’s full face or touching her hand demanded marriage. It’s too, too, too unacceptable!” Ye Tianchen was nearly collapsing, astonished to discover such rigid thinking in Liu Rumei, considering she didn’t seem like a conservative person!

After dinner, Ye Tianchen and his sister Ye Qianwen strolled through the old Ye family residence; it had been years since the siblings walked together. Meanwhile, father Ye Hong and mother Luo Yan, whose health had just improved slightly, still needed careful recuperation and shouldn’t be overburdened!

”Brother, I know you might not have feelings for Sister Rumei, and our parents aren’t forcing you to marry her. We just want you to know how much Sister Rumei has contributed to our Ye family. Brother, I truly feel Sister Rumei loves you dearly!” Ye Qianwen said seriously.

”Loves me dearly? Unlikely! If it weren’t for me seeing her bathing, she might have been living more splendidly now. Everything resulted from me. Even if the past event was a misunderstanding and we were set up, she should resent me in her heart, how could she love me?” Ye Tianchen shook his head and chuckled.

”Brother, speaking as a woman, I understand that if a woman doesn’t love you, wouldn’t care deeply about you, why would she care for your parents during your absence of ten years? Why would she relentlessly support your family? Honestly, for a woman to do this, I am deeply admiring—hardly could there be another woman treating you this well!” Ye Qianwen sincerely watched her brother Ye Tianchen and said.

”Hehe, we’ll see, but this isn’t about whether she treats me well or loves me,” Ye Tianchen smiled.

”Brother, another thing I want to tell you is that now, the only woman waiting for you is Sister Rumei. Her love for you can’t be changed by anything, including time!” Ye Qianwen said.

Ye Tianchen paused, saying nothing further. This decision was indeed difficult for him, and mentally somewhat hard to accept; even if Liu Rumei were the woman he loved, considering marriage remained a serious matter for Ye Tianchen. He couldn’t predict how far his path would go, as the Martial Arts world was perilous, with life constantly at risk. Considering the ties involved, Ye Tianchen truly needed to think, not for himself but considering others. He didn’t want anyone around him to be harmed! (To be continued.
