He believed the timing was right, only to discover that there was more to Zheng Mengni's progress than met the eye. She had some ulterior motives, making her achievements both impressive and deceptive.
Tan Yan's first reaction was disbelief. Since Zheng Mengni enjoyed learning, he put in a lot of effort to teach her patiently behind the scenes. But as she learned, she took shortcuts.
Tan Yan couldn't help but chuckle at the thought. This idea lingered in his mind for just a second before being replaced by a wave of comforting realization. Zheng Mengni saw only his bright side, while what she truly learned was something dark and unmentionable.
He had initially thought of her as just a silly rabbit, but it turned out they were kindred spirits. What was wrong with using any means necessary to achieve their goals?
Tan Yan didn't think there was anything wrong with Zheng Mengni's deception; on the contrary, he supported and endorsed it. He disliked seeing her frown over her performance; no matter what she did, he just wanted her to be happy.
He wasn't afraid of her being less capable; their complementary strengths worked well together. If Zheng Mengni preferred a relationship where they were evenly matched, that was fine. Time was on his side, and he had plenty of patience—he could always invest more effort into teaching her.
Tan Yan had never taken Zheng Mengni's fiancé seriously; he found him too foolish to compete with even a finger. He couldn't believe that Zheng Mengni would be interested in someone so insignificant.
However, he was too arrogant and had underestimated how many times Zheng Mengni would defend Wei Jingxi right in front of him. But soon enough, Tan Yan realized he had misunderstood.
Zheng Mengni wasn't defending Wei Jingxi; those previous glances were never filled with envy or admiration. Though he didn't want to admit it, Tan Yan had to face the truth: Zheng Mengni imitated him only to step on him.
Her feelings weren't admiration; they stemmed from a desire to compete and win. Tan Yan accepted the misunderstanding with ease and also embraced the unexpected affection that arose from it. Even if things went awry, he knew how to correct them.
From a young age, he had never failed to get what he wanted. The only setback he faced now was that Zheng Mengni had seen through his dark and decayed heart. This feeling of being disliked was truly uncomfortable.
However, it didn't matter; dislike was still a form of emotion. As long as there were feelings, there was a chance to change love. The prerequisite was that he needed to hurry to Zheng Mengni's side.
Tan Yan had never mentioned this sentiment to anyone. Even when asked by Qin Ge, who was now above him, he casually replied that there was a girl he couldn't let go of back in the country. He had to pursue her—the kind of pursuit that led to marriage. He feared that if he delayed, someone else would seize the opportunity, so he had to act quickly.
Qin Ge indeed hadn't expected Tan Yan to risk offending Guan Qingmo for a woman. Looking at the harmless face in front of him, one that seemed destined to be toyed with by women, Qin Ge felt a whirlwind of thoughts.
Tan Yan certainly had the advantage of looks—cultured, gentle, honest, and obedient. Yet his arrogant and aloof nature could not tolerate being controlled or manipulated by anyone. Qin Ge still couldn't make sense of it all.
