VIP Volume, Chapter 138: No Regrets in This Lifetime
Yuan Caiyi stuck out her little tongue, obediently sat down on the side, and stopped talking.
Ye Xiaoxuan raised his hand and said timidly, "I confessed voluntarily, so you can't open a case against me!"
Guan Ling slapped the head of the bed and said, "Voluntary confession is a crime too! You can only strive for leniency, you can't just pretend nothing happened, understand? Confess honestly, what is going on between you and Jaran?!"
Ye Xiaoxuan looked at Yu'er, who wore a calm expression, and shivered inwardly.
By now, he had already figured out this girl's temper. Being calm on the surface did not mean there were no waves in her heart. If you were not careful, the actions she might take could definitely make someone regret it for the rest of their lives!
Then he looked at Jaran beside her, who looked like a child who had done something wrong, lowering her head, blushing, not daring to say a word or even move an inch. A pang of heartbreak hit him instantly.
Finally, making up his mind, he covered his face and blurted out, "I love Yu'er and I love Jaran I love both of them neither is more important than the other nor is it possible to abandon one for the other you can beat me or punish me as you like breaking up is out of the question alright I'm done speaking do whatever you want!"
The four women looked at each other in dismay, none of them understanding a single word Ye Xiaoxuan had just crammed together. Guan Ling, true to her reputation as the walking encyclopedia of the township police station, reacted after a moment, pointed at Little Yu'er and Jaran, and said, "You're saying you want both of them?"
Ye Xiaoxuan nodded.
Guan Ling widened her eyes and asked him, "You're saying that even if they want to break up with you, you won't agree?"
Ye Xiaoxuan nodded again.
Guan Ling was so angry her nose went crooked. She pointed at him and scolded, "You little punk, I think your brain really has fallen into a cesspool and soaked it up! What do you mean? You want to ride two horses with one pair of boots?"
Ye Xiaoxuan nodded for the third time.
Guan Ling jumped up, her finger almost poking right between his eyebrows, and said to the rest of the women, "Did you hear that! This guy actually admitted it, huh! You even want to embrace beauties in both arms, you fickle playboy! Do you know that's breaking the law?"
Ye Xiaoxuan asked perplexedly, "Which law in the Central State forbids dating two girlfriends at the same time?"
Guan Ling paused, thought about it carefully, and realized there really wasn't such a law! Her eyes rolling, she shouted at him, "If you get married, that's the crime of bigamy!"
Ye Xiaoxuan curled his lips and said, "Then I won't get married!"
Guan Ling immediately pounced on it like she had caught a handle, saying excitedly, "The great leader said, any romance not aimed at marriage is pure hooliganism!"
Ye Xiaoxuan tilted his head and asked her, "What is the purpose of marriage?"
Guan Ling snorted and said, "You don't even know the purpose of marriage, yet you want to date two at once? Marriage is a man's responsibility to a woman, the sublimation of a man's love for a woman, the promise and guarantee of love, do you understand?"
Ye Xiaoxuan nodded and retorted, "You mean those two little red booklets worth nine yuan? Can they completely contain all the things you just mentioned? Does human love need to be proven by paper?"
This time it was Guan Ling's turn to be left speechless!
Ye Xiaoxuan walked to the bedside, grabbed Yu'er with his left hand and Jaran with his right, looked at the two of them, and said affectionately, "I've thought it over. I will give those responsibilities and promises to the people I love! If we are not accepted by secular society, then I will find a place where no one else is and live there!"
Guan Ling crawled over from the bed, batted at Ye Xiaoxuan's hands, and said, "Stop feeding my sisters soul-stirring poison! These painless, casually spoken words are the most nutritious! Third Sister, Fourth Sister, don't worry, Eldest Sister will stand up for you and make decisions on your behalf—leave this fickle playboy!"
Little Yu'er's expression remained calm. She turned around, looked into Jaran's eyes, and asked, "Third Sister, do you love Xiaoxuan?"
Jaran didn't dare to raise her head. She stole a glance at Little Yu'er, then looked at Ye Xiaoxuan, quickly lowered her gaze again, nodded cautiously, and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito's, "I love him!"
Little Yu'er continued, "Good. Since you dare to admit it, it means you truly love him! If you don't dare to admit it, you have no qualification to possess him! You love him and cannot leave him, and I love him just as much and cannot leave him either. Therefore, the two of us only have one path left to take!"
Ye Xiaoxuan was terrified. His eyes darted around frantically, searching the room for anything wieldable like a kitchen knife or scissors. Little Yu'er must not duel with Jaran!
Guan Ling and Yuan Caiyi were also on full alert, ready to deal with any imminent flash of blades or bloodshed.
Yet they heard Little Yu'er say, word by word, "Since neither of us can leave him, neither of us will leave. Let's both be Xiaoxuan's girlfriends together!"
Silence! Absolute silence! You wouldn't just hear a needle drop in this room; even a hair falling to the floor could be heard!
Little Yu'er seemed to feel that the shock delivered by her words was not yet enough. She simply grabbed Jaran's small hand with one of her own and said, "Sister, are you willing to share Xiaoxuan's love with me? I cannot back out, for I love him just as much as you do. So let us sisters give everything we have to this man together, alright?"
Only then did Jaran believe that Little Yu'er was not joking. She looked at Little Yu'er with emotion and said, "Little Sister, you aren't blaming me?"
Little Yu'er shook her head, holding her hand, and said, "Even if there's blame to go around, it's not my turn to blame you! You and Xiaoxuan have been in love for eighteen years, while for me, the time has been so short! Yet I believe our love runs equally deep, so I am willing to share him with my elder sister."
Guan Ling stared at Little Yu'er in disbelief, cried out in shock, "Fourth Sister, do you know what you're saying? How can you have so little backbone! This brat is eating from the bowl while looking at the pot, and you're still indulging him?"
Little Yu'er smiled gently, turned to look at her, and said, "Eldest Sister, have you ever truly loved a man?"
Guan Ling was stunned. Her face flushed slightly red, she stole a peek at Ye Xiaoxuan, and said angrily, "I'm helping you, yet you turn around and question Eldest Sister instead!"
Little Yu'er smiled and said, "I just want to tell Eldest Sister that when you truly fall in love with a man, you won't think that way anymore. Love isn't about petty rivalry; it's about happiness. I only understood this truth after coming back from the brink of death. Moreover, I know that my man is a dragon among men. A man like him could never have only one woman, nor can only I be the one loving him. I am willing to accept other sisters—including Eldest Sister and Second Sister."
Jaran smiled as well. Emotionally, she grasped Little Yu'er's hand and said, "I'm willing too!"
The most excited of all was Ye Xiaoxuan. With teary, reddened eyes, he looked at the two women before him, pulled them both into his embrace in one swift motion, and let out a long sigh, "Thank you! Thank you both! For me, Ye Xiaoxuan, to have two soulmates like you, I have no regrets in this life!"
Guan Ling simply didn't know what else to say. Anxiously, she said to Yuan Caiyi, "Second Sister, help me persuade these two silly girls!"
Yuan Caiyi looked at the tightly embracing trio with an expression of envy, shook her head with a smile, and said, "Persuade? Why persuade? Isn't this quite wonderful? As long as it doesn't harm the country or the people, and doesn't hurt others for personal gain, how they choose to love and how they go about it is their own choice. I can only offer my blessings!"
Guan Ling froze. Staring at the three people before her, the last of her energy drained away. Indeed, if they preferred two loving one, what business was it of hers? It didn't interfere with anyone else's life anyway—what was she worrying blindly for? Could it be that she was actually—jealous?!
