Ye Xinyan turned back reluctantly, her reluctance evident when she looked at Guan He. It wasn't that she truly felt aggrieved; rather, she couldn't afford to show Guan He a good face. She needed to let him know that she was extremely unwilling to compromise with him, and the only reason she gave in a step was that she didn't want Jiang Yifan to be in a difficult position. Only by behaving this way would that fellow not become overly proud and lose all sense of modesty.
Upon seeing Ye Xinyan's frustrated demeanor, Guan He felt somewhat proud. Although he had leveraged his junior brother's position, it was still a concession from that wicked woman Ye Xinyan, which was better than others being unable to control her, allowing her to act unbridled.
