Chapter 118: Beibei’s Despair, Has Qianran Already Won Tang Ya’s Heart?

"Beibei, why are you still pestering Xiaoya? Hasn't she made things clear enough for you?" Jiang Nannan stepped in before Tang Ya could respond. She was getting irritated by Beibei's constant appearances over the past few days.

She used to think Beibei was a decent guy, but now she found him increasingly obnoxious.

When Qianran was around, Beibei kept his distance, but as soon as Qianran left, he showed up again.

He once had a certain charm; while he had his flaws, they were tolerable. But ever since Qianran arrived, Beibei's behavior had become more and more disappointing.

"Jiang Nannan, who are you to speak to me like that?"

Beibei's face turned cold. Jiang Nannan had never dared to talk back to him before.

Now, both Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan knew he was a descendant of the Sea God Pavilion's master, yet they showed him no respect whatsoever.

Was it because of Qianran?

Beibei felt a surge of frustration, his thoughts flashing back to the figure that had triggered all his resentment.

It was Qianran's presence that had made him this way.

Qianran had become a heart demon for him, twisting his once-proud demeanor into despair and insecurity.

"Oh? Beibei, are you planning to throw your weight around with your family's status?" Jiang Nannan sneered.

Ever since Beibei had made his identity known, many girls in the outer court tried to cozy up to him. After all, as the great-grandson of the Sea God Pavilion's master, he could walk with his head high in Shrek Academy.

"You…"

Beibei was almost speechless with anger.

"You think being the Sea God Pavilion master's great-grandson makes you someone special? Xiaoya wouldn't be interested in you just because of your status," Jiang Nannan said, holding onto Tang Ya's arm with an annoyed expression.

"I never thought that!" Beibei blurted out. Although he'd revealed his identity in hopes of winning Tang Ya's attention, he'd never admit to such a shallow intention.

"Enough, Nannan. Let it go," Tang Ya said, gently pulling Jiang Nannan aside. If Beibei held a grudge, it could cause trouble for her at the academy.

Tang Ya looked at Beibei and sighed deeply.

"Beibei, I thought I'd made things clear between us. Besides, I'm already Qianran's. He and I have done everything a couple could do." Tang Ya's hand gently rested on her abdomen, a look of bliss on her face.

Her hand lingered over her navel with a particular fondness.

She remembered how, when Qianran held her, it had felt like his presence reached down to her core.

Boom!

Beibei's face went ashen as Tang Ya's words delivered yet another brutal blow to his heart.

He never thought things would progress so quickly.

He'd pursued Tang Ya for four years, yet she'd never agreed to be with him, never let him get close to her. But Qianran? How long had Qianran even known her?

The comparison made Beibei feel like a complete fool.

Why was the difference between them so vast? Why could Qianran win Tang Ya's heart and body, while he could not?

What was he lacking?

Beibei stared at Tang Ya's beautiful face and her tall, full figure. Lately, she seemed even more stunning than before, her figure fuller even in her academy uniform. They say a woman's beauty blossoms when she's cherished.

Could it be…

Qianran, you bastard!

"I don't care. I don't care if you and he have done anything. All I care about is your future. Will you come back to me?" Beibei's eyes grew red, and despite the pain he felt, he wasn't ready to give up.

Tang Ya was his first love and, so far, his only love.

Before Qianran, while he'd pursued Tang Ya, he hadn't been set on marrying her. But having Qianran come in and take her away from him sparked an obsession to win her back.

"I'm very happy with Qianran. Even if one day he treats me poorly, I won't betray him," Tang Ya said, shaking her head. If Qianran ever grew tired of her, she'd walk away quietly; she'd never be with anyone else.

Standing beside her, Jiang Nannan nodded in agreement. If it were her, she'd make the same choice.

Even if one day Qianran turned away from their love, they would never betray him.

Even if he lost interest, as long as he didn't hate them, they would stay by his side.

Of course, they'd do everything in their power to ensure that day never came.

"Is he really that good? Even if he dies, would you stay loyal? You're still a student; you have your youth ahead of you." Beibei felt a pang of jealousy. Seeing the woman he loved be so devoted to another man was heartbreaking.

Why?

If only Tang Ya's attachment to Qianran had been lukewarm, he might have felt some relief. But why did she love him with such unwavering devotion, as if she'd decided to follow Qianran for the rest of her life?

"What are you implying, Beibei?"

Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan's expressions turned cold, their faces filled with disdain.

Their eyes held nothing but hostility.

"Hmph. Don't look at me like that; it has nothing to do with me."

"It's been a month since Qianran left Shrek Academy. He only needed a third soul ring—why would it take this long? Normally, a quick trip to the Star Dou Forest would only take four or five days."

"If Qianran's been gone this long, maybe something happened. He may be a genius, but he's still only better than us outer court students. In front of the real powerhouses of the continent, he's nothing."

A trace of satisfaction crossed Beibei's face. He was thrilled at the thought of Qianran's death. If Qianran were gone, Beibei would be the brightest star in the outer court. With Xu Sanshi gone, Beibei's influence would shine brightly, unchallenged.

If Qianran died, Tang Ya would return to him.

"Beibei, say one more word cursing Qianran, and I'll beat you up."

They were already anxious over Qianran's delayed return. Hearing Beibei's taunts made their anger flare.

"You? Jiang Nannan, do you think you can take me on?" Beibei sneered. While he couldn't defeat Qianran, he was confident he could handle Jiang Nannan.

"How about me?" Tang Ya's anger erupted. She had tried to give Beibei some respect, but Qianran was her bottom line. Wishing for his death made Beibei her enemy.

Tang Ya's eyes turned gray, and her entire aura became terrifyingly intense.
