The two of them arrived at the guest room in Tantai Wanrong's home. After Zhao Tianya closed the door, Ye Fan asked, "Sister Ya, what's the matter?"

Zhao Tianya came over and punched Ye Fan in the chest, feeling very angry but afraid that Li Zhaojun outside would hear, so she lowered her voice and said, "You should be asking what the hell you mean by this!"

"Me?" Ye Fan gave a bitter smile.

"I thought you'd come alone. I even got myself ready, but you brought Zhaojun along and immediately told me about your wedding. What? Eat and run?" Zhao Tianya said angrily.

Ye Fan said, "Sister Ya, how can you say that? Zhaojun and I... we're already a couple, we were just missing a proper wedding, you knew that long ago."

Zhao Tianya's expression turned bitter, "I knew, yes, but saying it is another matter. Once you and Zhaojun have your wedding, the whole world will know you're together. By then, if people see me with you, they'll just call me a shameless mistress trying to seduce another woman's man..."

"Sister Ya, I didn't mean it that way." Ye Fan tried to grab her arm, but Zhao Tianya pushed him away.

"From now on, you keep your hands off me. From now on, we don't know each other!" Zhao Tianya said angrily, not even mentioning the "serious matter" to Ye Fan before turning and leaving. Ye Fan was left feeling helpless. Is that the end of the conversation?

Perhaps Zhao Tianya was too afraid to stay alone in the room with Ye Fan for too long, worried that Li Zhaojun would suspect something, so she walked out after less than two minutes.

"Sister Ya, are you alright?" Li Zhaojun asked curiously.

"I'm fine, just talked to your Ye Fan about something, and I'll have him help me out later." Zhao Tianya put on a smile again, sat next to Li Zhaojun, took her hand, and said, "Zhaojun, you're truly blessed. I've always said that rascal Ye Fan is loyal and won't leave you high and dry. But you're so excellent, marrying you is a blessing for him too!"

Ye Fan followed them, listening with discomfort, as the words "won't leave you high and dry" were clearly Zhao Tianya hinting at something.

Ye Fan said, "You two have a chat. I'll go wait for Aunt Rong outside. It's stuffy in here."

"Go on, rascal, don't interrupt us girlfriends' conversation." Zhao Tianya scolded.

Once Ye Fan was out and the door was closed, Zhao Tianya continued holding Li Zhaojun's hand. In truth, she was quite envious of Li Zhaojun. Although she always knew her relationship with Ye Fan was just a fleeting affair, Ye Fan was still her man, and she hadn't planned to move on. Seeing her man marrying another, her heart felt quite heavy.

"Zhaojun, how much have you prepared for the wedding?" Zhao Tianya knew asking would hurt herself but couldn't help asking.

"We haven't prepared anything, haven't informed either side yet." Li Zhaojun said, a hint of happiness on her face.

Their earlier union as a couple was a political marriage, only a marriage in form. They played the role of a loving couple in front of the family many times, yet they still respected each other like guests.

Zhao Tianya laughed, "Then you should start preparing soon. We are good sisters, I'll be your bridesmaid at the wedding..."

"Thank you, Sister Ya." Li Zhaojun smiled.

"No need to thank me; we're like sisters." Zhao Tianya wore a carefree smile, "How's that rascal been treating you? You've been together so long, won't your wedding include a... child?"

Faced with personal questions, Li Zhaojun initially didn't want to respond, but Zhao Tianya was so enthusiastic, she blushed slightly and said, "Sister Ya, Ye Fan and I... haven't taken that final step yet, so how could there be a child?"

"What?" Zhao Tianya was genuinely surprised.

Ye Fan and Li Zhaojun were often seen together, looking like an old married couple in public, yet they "haven't taken that final step"?

This news suddenly rekindled the fire in Zhao Tianya's previously downhearted heart. She thought to herself, no wonder Ye Fan looked elsewhere, maybe because Zhaojun wasn't able to satisfy him. In that sense, she wasn't at a loss.

"You two, being together for so long and married legally, why so... restrained? Is it him... or something psychological or physical with you?" Zhao Tianya clearly intended to get to the bottom of it.

Feeling a bit embarrassed now, Li Zhaojun replied, "Sister Ya, you're overthinking it. Ye Fan and I... are both fine. We weren't too willing at first, but we grew to know and love each other. Now I can't live without him. He's my first and will be my last man. I'll give him my very best. Sister Ya, enough about me, tell me about yourself. How come you're still single and haven't found someone to be with?"

At this point, Zhao Tianya felt quite dejected again. From what Li Zhaojun said, it was clear that Ye Fan and Li Zhaojun were both physically and emotionally fine, only abstaining because theirs was initially a formality of a marriage. Seeing how affectionate they were, they must have had countless tender moments, even if they weren't formally united yet.

"No, men out there are too fickle and unfaithful. I think it's fine being single." Zhao Tianya said, somewhat forlornly.

Li Zhaojun laughed, "That's not always true. You never know, Sister Ya, maybe you'll find someone like Ye Fan someday…"

"Zhaojun, you're good with flattery. You've snagged the best one, now even making fun of me?" Zhao Tianya said with a straight face, but couldn't help laughing.

The two sisters joked around for a while, then Zhao Tianya leaned in close and whispered, "Zhaojun, you've been with Ye Fan for so long, and he even saved you. Your feelings must be deep, so why... haven't you had that experience together? Haven't you tried?"

Li Zhaojun blushed, "Sister Ya, why are you asking about this?"

"We're girlfriends, aren't we? Talking about bedroom matters and the most private things shows how close we are." Zhao Tianya laughed.

Li Zhaojun didn't have many friends, and although her bond with Min Shang was strong, Min Shang was quiet and wouldn't talk much about such matters. After hesitating a bit, she leaned in and said, "I want to, especially... when he's feeling down, I've even... used my mouth and…"

Hearing Li Zhaojun's words, Zhao Tianya instantly felt a pang of jealousy. She had always been proud of her voluptuous figure, but when compared to Li Zhaojun, her advantage seemed nullified.

Zhao Tianya chuckled, "I had no idea you were so unassuming yet so... capable?"

As she said this, Zhao Tianya's hand even reached out to feel, making Li Zhaojun blush deeply. They continued chatting for a while longer, when outside footsteps were heard; it was Ye Fan and Tantai Wanrong chatting as they approached.

Zhao Tianya and Li Zhaojun got up to greet them, but Zhao Tianya thought to herself, "If I'm going to be the woman you keep outside, I must learn to be clever. If Zhaojun can do it, I can too!"
