The Wealthy and Influential Fiancé has the Ability to Read Mind
Extra 8
Ye Shuyan was in the office with the Xie brothers, discussing how to divide the Jiang family assets.
As they talked, Ye Shuyan, who had been serious, suddenly smiled, and his expression softened.
Xie Feiming asked, puzzled, “What’s up?”
Ye Shuyan chuckled, “Nothing, just that Tang Nuan is back.”
Xie Feizhe, feeling sensitive about his situation with Tang Xing, couldn’t help but scoff, “Having a wife makes you special, huh?”
Ye Shuyan looked at him and replied with a smile, “Well, it is better than having an ex-girlfriend, isn’t it?”
Xie Feizhe: …
He rolled his eyes and retorted, “That’s not an ex! We never even dated. Can you not bring that up?”
After Xie Feizhe’s relentless pursuit, Tang Xing finally started to soften a bit, but then Xiao Ya returned to the country. This time, Xie Feizhe didn’t go to pick her up, and in a surprising turn of events, Xiao Ya, who had never responded to him, came to find him just as he was with Tang Xing…
And judging by Xie Feizhe’s current gloomy expression, one could guess how that turned out.
Ye Shuyan couldn’t help but smirk in delight, “Can’t help it.”
Xie Feizhe gritted his teeth, “Ye Shuyan!”
Ye Shuyan laughed triumphantly.
Xie Feiming watched the two of them bickering like children, both amused and helpless.
His younger brother was one thing, but Ye Shuyan had changed so much. He had become much more personable.
The two brothers thought Ye Shuyan had heard Tang Nuan’s footsteps outside, but after a long wait, no one came. Xie Feizhe kept glancing at the door.
Ye Shuyan said, “Stop looking and get to the point quickly.”
Xie Feizhe checked his phone and saw no new messages. “So, you really are just toying with us. Tang Nuan isn’t back at all.”
Ye Shuyan replied, “She’s in the elevator right now.”
Xie Feizhe was skeptical. “How do you know that?”
Ye Shuyan said mysteriously, “Don’t you know? When two people are deeply in love, they can sense each other within a hundred meters.”
Xie Feizhe: …
Yeah, right!
Ye Shuyan smiled.
Xie Feiming thought Ye Shuyan was just teasing his brother, but then, about two minutes later, he really saw Tang Nuan walk in.
Ye Shuyan waved at her, and Tang Nuan came over to sit beside him and listen to their discussion.
However, the pace of the meeting picked up significantly, and the topic was officially wrapped up in just five minutes.
Curious, Xie Feizhe turned to Tang Nuan and asked, “Just now, Ye Shuyan suddenly laughed and said he knew you were coming. How did you two get in touch?”
Tang Nuan immediately understood what was happening. Before she could speak, Ye Shuyan said, “I told you, it’s a mental connection. When you love someone deeply, it naturally happens.”
Xie Feizhe rolled his eyes and said, “Don’t fool me just because I haven’t read much.”
Seeing his expression, Tang Nuan suddenly understood why Ye Shuyan enjoyed teasing him so much. She joined in and said with a smile, “Yeah, I can sense him so well that I haven’t been able to work in the office lately and I have to go outside.”
Xie Feizhe was momentarily confused. “Why?”
Ye Shuyan laughed, “Because you’re always thinking about the other person, so it’s hard to focus on work.”
Xie Feizhe: …
He finally understood that like attracts like. Now, Tang Nuan was just as infatuated as Ye Shuyan.
After Xie Feizhe left, grumbling, with Xie Feiming, Ye Shuyan, and Tang Nuan headed home from work.
Once they were in the car, Ye Shuyan asked Tang Nuan, “What are you planning for Ji Yun’s birthday? You girls are being all mysterious.”
When he asked, Tang Nuan almost let it slip, but she managed to stop herself in time. “Don’t pry into our girl secrets.”
“And don’t ask again! If you keep asking, I’ll start thinking about it, and if the secret gets out, I won’t talk to you anymore.”
Ye Shuyan chuckled, “So when will this secret be revealed?”
“Tomorrow,” Tang Nuan replied. “I already told you not to ask! If you keep it up, I’ll really start worrying, and if it gets exposed, I’ll ignore you!”
Ye Shuyan sighed, “But I haven’t seen you during the day for two whole days. I just got back from a business trip, and you went and hid away.”
Recently, Tang Nuan had been up to something with Ji Yun and Li Qiuqiu, and she was worried that he would find out. Feeling that staying in the same building wasn’t safe, she had gone straight to Ji Yun’s place, which meant they could only meet at night.
Tang Nuan shot him a look and huffed, “Whose fault is that? Do you think I don’t want to see you? It’s because you have mind-reading abilities that I have no privacy at all.”
Ye Shuyan felt frustrated and said, “Do you think I want it? I don’t want it either…”
Tang Nuan surprisingly said, “Honestly, I wish I could have it.”
Ye Shuyan laughed, “If I could, I’d want you to take it right away.”
They were just joking, and neither of them thought much about it.
After dinner, fearing that being with Ye Shuyan would expose her thoughts, Tang Nuan suggested they each do their own thing. This time, Ye Shuyan wouldn’t agree. He picked her up and carried her to the bedroom, saying, “During the day, I’ll give in to you, but at night, no way! We can do things that won’t let you think about anything!”
Tang Nuan glanced at the time and struggled, “It’s only a bit past eight! Stop messing around!”
Of course, that wasn’t going to happen. Ye Shuyan was always dominant in this regard.
They ended up playing around until nearly midnight before finally falling asleep. When Tang Nuan woke up again, it was already bright outside.
Since it was Saturday, she wasn’t in a hurry to get up and lazily stayed in bed, not wanting to move.
Ye Shuyan, however, was already awake, leaning against the headboard and reading the news. Noticing her movements, he naturally reached out to stroke her head.
[So cute, how can she be this beautiful?]
A deep, magnetic male voice suddenly echoed in her mind. Tang Nuan froze for a moment and looked up at Ye Shuyan.
He was smiling at her.
[Why didn’t you think I was handsome today? Still dazed? So soft.] He then reached out and pinched her cheek.
She stared at Ye Shuyan, feeling a bit hesitant. Did she have mind-reading abilities now? But Ye Shuyan didn’t?
Realizing this possibility, Tang Nuan quickly confirmed: husband, husband, husband.
After a while, Ye Shuyan looked at her and asked, “Were you just thinking about something?”
Tang Nuan nodded.
Ye Shuyan showed an unexpected expression and said, “I can’t hear your thoughts anymore!”
Tang Nuan feigned surprise, widening her eyes. “Really?!”
Ye Shuyan focused on her and indeed didn’t hear any more voices. His mood was a bit complicated, but mostly he felt happy. He lay down beside her and pulled her into his arms, cheerfully saying, “Now you don’t have to hide from me anymore. Can you stay home today?”
Tang Nuan hadn’t expected that the first thing he would think of after losing his mind-reading ability was this, and she couldn’t help but laugh and said, “You really don’t like mind-reading, do you?”
“What if you can’t hear my thoughts? If I want something and you don’t know, and I get angry and you’re clueless, then we might end up fighting…”
Ye Shuyan smiled as he gently touched her cheek, “That is indeed a problem, but everyone has gone through this. I’ve been cheating for so long and it’s time I learned to do things the right way.”
He placed Tang Nuan’s hand on his chest and looked into her eyes with a smile, “From now on, let’s communicate well. If I do something wrong, just tell me, and I’ll make an effort not to upset you.”
Tang Nuan felt the rhythm of his heartbeat and a sweet sensation filled her heart. She couldn’t help but marvel at his openness. How could anyone accept something like this so quickly?
[Even if we get angry, a kiss and a hug, then a good night’s sleep will fix it. Isn’t it said that couples who fight in bed make up just as quickly? No worries.]
So, it seemed that men’s sweet talk really couldn’t be trusted after all.
Confirming that Ye Shuyan truly no longer had mind-reading abilities, Tang Nuan called Ji Yun to say she wouldn’t be coming during the day and would meet them later. They rarely had time to rest, and Tang Nuan wanted to spend more time with Ye Shuyan. Most importantly, she was eager to hear what he usually thought about.
After breakfast, Tang Nuan had an idea. She pulled Ye Shuyan to watch TV with her.
They ended up watching a growth-oriented girl group variety show. The members were all quite unique, and several of the young women were exceptionally beautiful. As a woman herself, Tang Nuan couldn’t help but be captivated by them.
[Why is the entertainment industry so full of variety shows these days? Isn’t there something a bit off about the show’s planning and positioning?]
[With the rise of online platforms, young people are more into gaming and short videos. These so-called ‘veteran’ artists are probably the youth of audiences in their thirties, forties, and fifties. They are the core of the viewership. It doesn’t quite make sense to put young, trendy stars at the forefront…]
Tang Nuan leaned against Ye Shuyan, listening to him analyze the variety show from start to finish. She was surprised that he thought the most beautiful trending star shouldn’t be in the center position.
It seemed like he hadn’t even noticed which girl group member was which.
Curious, Tang Nuan asked directly, “Who do you think is the prettiest one here?”
Ye Shuyan’s inner voice came through first: [None of them are as pretty as you.]
“None of them are as pretty as you,” he said, stroking her cheek with a smile.
Tang Nuan couldn’t help but smile back, surprised that he really was a principled gentleman.
[But that girl with the fox ears is pretty cute. Hmm, the tail looks nice too. I wonder where I could buy one…]
Tang Nuan looked up at Ye Shuyan, who was gazing affectionately at her.
[Yeah, with such a beautiful face, those ears would look amazing…] His tone even held a hint of flirtation, prompting Tang Nuan to sit up with a blank expression. “You’re a total fake!”
Men were all just old lechers!
After they finished watching TV, Ye Shuyan had to deal with something and went to study.
Tang Nuan took her phone to the bedroom to video chat with Ji Yun and Li Qiuqiu. Now that Ye Shuyan no longer had mind-reading abilities, she finally felt at ease.
Ji Yun happily said, “It’s all set! Tonight at seven, at the Zui Yan Club, Ke Hang, Qi Zhen, and Wan Zhuoyu are all coming.”
These celebrities were all favorites of Tang Nuan and Li Qiuqiu, and Tang Nuan teased, “Looks like you’re doing well now, Ji Yun! You have everyone at your beck and call.”
Ji Yun beamed with pride and said, “Of course!”
Yes, Tang Nuan was secretly plotting to meet celebrities without Ye Shuyan knowing.
To be precise, they were planning a singles party and inviting some stars to join in on the fun.
Today was Ji Yun’s birthday, and a few days ago, while discussing how to celebrate, she suddenly expressed a desire to host a singles party, specifically one that would include men.
At first, Tang Nuan and Li Qiuqiu hesitated, but when Ji Yun mentioned inviting the celebrities they liked, they started to waver.
Ultimately, it was Ji Yun’s heartache over love that convinced them to go along with the plan.
They all knew Ji Yun had a crush on Xiao Zhiyu.
From the age of eighteen or nineteen, Ji Yun idolized Xiao Zhiyu. She even started her own entertainment company to help him shine. When she finally got to produce her first drama featuring him, she thought her dream had come true. However, human desires are never fully satisfied. Initially, she wanted to promote him and let more people see his talent, but over time, her affection deepened, leading her to develop more ambitious aspirations.
Due to past experiences where Xiao Zhiyu had been exploited by executives, he kept his distance from wealthy bosses like them and misunderstood Ji Yun, which made her very sad. Yet, she understood his perspective and decided to let go of her feelings.
Seeing their dear friend so upset, of course, Tang Nuan and Li Qiuqiu wanted to support her wholeheartedly! Besides, they were just pure fans and weren’t trying to do anything wrong.
However, thinking back to how Ye Shuyan had gotten jealous every time she mentioned a handsome actor, Tang Nuan decided to keep this a secret from him. For some reason, Li Qiuqiu also chose to hide it from Tang Fei.
As she put it, “Anyway, it’s just for one night. The more we say, the more trouble it’ll cause.”
So, the three of them established this as a secret among the girls. Since they spoke about it openly, neither Ye Shuyan nor Tang Fei suspected anything.
Still, they felt a bit guilty. Just as they were discussing, Tang Nuan suddenly heard Ye Shuyan’s voice saying, “This matter is up to Nuan Nuan to handle.”
Startled, she quickly ended the video call and ran to the study, asking, “What do you want me to handle?”
Ye Shuyan had just hung up the phone and was momentarily taken aback by her question. “What?”
Tang Nuan then realized that she must have just heard his inner voice. She quickly replied, “Oh, nothing. I thought I heard your voice on the call.”
However, Ye Shuyan narrowed his eyes as he looked at her shifting gaze, sensing something was off about her today.
He suddenly thought: When Wen Xingchuan said that Tang Yue was pregnant with twins, he must be coming to show off again, so I won’t fall for that.
Tang Nuan, trying to act nonchalant, turned to leave but glanced back to see Ye Shuyan seemed busy with other work. She hurried to the balcony to call Tang Yue.
How could she not know about such a big deal as twins?
When Tang Yue heard her, she replied in confusion, “Who said I’m having twins? It’s just one.”
Tang Nuan froze for a moment, realizing something and inwardly cursing her luck. She hoped Ye Shuyan hadn’t heard her on the phone, but then she felt his arms wrap around her waist, his chest pressing against her as he kissed her ear and chuckled, “Baby, what are you sneaking around for?”
Feeling defensive, she replied, “I was just calling my sister. How is that sneaking around?”
Ye Shuyan grinned, “Asking about the twins?”
He had indeed caught on! He was doing this on purpose!
But Tang Nuan couldn’t admit it, “What twins? Who’s having twins?”
Ye Shuyan looked at her knowingly, “Is the mind-reading ability with you now?”
Tang Nuan feigned ignorance and asked, “What’s with that? Can this thing be passed around?” Then she turned it back on him and said, “Why are you asking such strange questions?”
Ye Shuyan didn’t press her, just smiled and kissed her cheek, “Alright, I get it.”
But Tang Nuan couldn’t shake the feeling that his tone held some mischief.
Her intuition soon proved correct.
Ye Shuyan went to the fridge and pulled out two snow-skinned pastries. Tang Nuan instinctively sat at the dining table, a bit confused since Ye Shuyan usually didn’t eat these sweet treats.
He handed one to her but didn’t eat his, instead using a small fork to lightly draw circles on top of it, poking at it repeatedly. Finally, when he pressed the fork down flat, the white snow skin oozed out between the fork…
[It’s a bit like you, but not as soft…]
Tang Nuan watched him playfully pressing down with the fork and instantly recalled what his large hand had done to her last night, causing her cheeks to flush uncontrollably.
She couldn’t bear to look Ye Shuyan in the eye, and as she glanced down, she found it hard to face the snow skin pastry in front of her. So, she got up and grabbed a book to sit on the couch instead.
To her surprise, Ye Shuyan followed her.
[Today’s a rare day off. Should I study the ten T’s that Xie Feizhe gave me? We could watch them together in the home theater, it would be so much fun…]
Tang Nuan lifted her gaze to see him standing there with a bright smile: …
What the heck?! This so-called gentleman is clearly a big pervert!
Ye Shuyan seemed to read her thoughts as he scooped her up in his arms, “Okay?”
“Are you kidding? Put me down!” Tang Nuan finally couldn’t bear to pretend anymore, “Why are you such a rogue?!”
Ye Shuyan carried her toward the home theater and his mood was surprisingly cheerful. “We’ve discussed this a lot already. I thought you would have accepted it by now.”
“But that aside, it is quite useful, some things are hard to say out loud…”
Tang Nuan was thrown onto the couch in the theater, scrambling to escape, “Thinking about it is already perverse!”
Ye Shuyan pinned her down and said, “Wanting and saying are two different things. It’s natural to have some perverse thoughts occasionally. For instance, don’t you sometimes think about eating me?”
Tang Nuan felt her face burn red. It was true that in those deep moments, some thoughts would arise that she wouldn’t normally entertain…
Ye Shuyan skillfully kept her under control to take off her clothes, “Besides, you hid it from me, didn’t you just want to know what I was thinking?”
“My thoughts are usually boring. The most interesting ones are about you.” He laughed like an old fox luring a little rabbit. “And when it’s the most interesting, how can you not listen?”
When Tang Nuan was pinned to the sofa, she found that her previous feeling was not wrong. This man really wanted to crush her into pieces and eat her.
The feeling was wonderful, senses that did not belong to her were churning in her mind, making her more sensitive. This perfect blend was an unprecedented stimulation.
When her mind went blank, she couldn’t help but think, she obviously has the ability to read minds, but why is this dog still taking advantage of her?
