Touya Yaoyao

The people in the hall were discussing their own affairs in small groups, whether it was business, politics, auctions, or stock trading.

The world of the rich is so simple and unpretentious; apart from money and power, there is nothing else to talk about.

Just then, the luxurious and dazzling diamond crystal chandelier suddenly went out, and at the same time, a bright light suddenly appeared, illuminating Yu Yaoyao, who was slowly descending the spiral staircase with Ye Yuntao's hand in hers.

Today she wore a light purple tulle off-the-shoulder dress, her long hair was slightly curled, and she was adorned with a pearl and gemstone hair crown.

With her gentle eyes and delicate features, she looked noble and elegant as she slowly descended the stairs, instantly captivating everyone's attention.

Whether it was the atmosphere or her own outstanding appearance, by the time everyone came to their senses, she was already surrounded by the Ye family members, walking gracefully to the top of the hall's high platform and picking up the microphone.

After all, this was a graduation banquet held for her, so as the main character, Yu Yaoyao still had to give her face and use her diplomatic skills.

At times like these, one should express gratitude to parents, siblings, teachers, and oneself, and perhaps also mention one's future aspirations.

Yu Yaoyao has never liked crowded and lively occasions, but as an adopted daughter of a wealthy family, she often has to attend such events.

Therefore, after she finished speaking, her parents took her to meet people and greet them, ostensibly to make connections.

It's called building connections, but really it's just about getting the big shots to give him face and not make things difficult for his adopted daughter in the future. It's also about letting his adopted daughter know that if anything happens in the future, she can also get things done by currying favor with them.

Business tycoons, high-ranking officials, renowned artists, and all sorts of people with titles entered Yu Yaoyao's world through the introductions of Ye Yuntao and Yu Weijin, and formed a tiny connection with her.

This connection may seem insignificant, but it made her path much easier in the future. After all, aren't connections meant to be used?

After nearly an hour of this ordeal, it was finally over. Yu Yaoyao's face was stiff from smiling so much before the final identification process ended.

Exhausted, Yu Yaoyao casually placed the grape juice she was holding on the table next to her and decided to go out for some fresh air. The place was indeed a bit noisy, and she would like to find a quiet place to calm down.

Having just sneaked out of the hall, Yu Yaoyao cunningly hid by a fountain to rest. The tall fountain completely concealed her, allowing her to remain unnoticed.

But as soon as she sat down, she couldn't help but take off her high heels and subconsciously rubbed her sore ankles.

I really don't understand why people have to wear high heels on occasions like this. They rub your feet and hurt like hell, but high heels are the perfect match for evening gowns, so much so that she didn't even have the courage to argue.

"Your feet hurt?!"

Suddenly, a very familiar voice broke her peace. She looked up in surprise and saw Shirato Shirai standing in the moonlight, wearing a white suit.

I had seen him yesterday, but he seemed slightly different now. It was the same person, but he had a more mature and gentle demeanor. Perhaps it was because he was standing in the moonlight that the word "gentle" appeared on him.

It seems the saying "clothes make the man" is true; at least at this moment, he does look more approachable than before.

Yu Yaoyao didn't speak or pay him any attention, rubbing her ankle as if nothing was wrong. Seeing this, Bai Taoshi subconsciously placed her high heels, which she had tossed aside, side by side, then half-squatted down and said:

"Let me do it"

As he spoke, his hand reached for Yu Yaoyao's ankle, but Yu Yaoyao instinctively flinched, her embarrassment tinged with a hint of wariness as she said to him:

"No need, it doesn't hurt that much."

As she spoke, she picked up her high heels and put them on, then looked at Shiratoya and tentatively asked:

"Did you come to see me for something?!"

Bai Taoyi looked at Yu Yaoyao's curious face with disappointment, pursed his lips, and directly changed the subject:

"I heard you're going to enter the entertainment industry. Do you need my help with that?!"

Seeing him so openly mention entering the entertainment industry, Yu Yaoyao shook her head without hesitation and smiled as she declined:

"Sister Zhuozhuo started an entertainment company last year, and I'm thinking of trying my luck there."

As she spoke, she stood up and instinctively tried to leave, but Bai Taoyi grabbed her arm, making it impossible for her to break free.

Yu Yaoyao looked at Bai Taoshi in surprise, not understanding what he meant. Bai Taoshi was silent for a while, then looked at Yu Yaoyao's gentle profile in the moonlight and said softly:

"It's quite stuffy in there, want to talk to me?"

Since the other party had shamelessly made such a request, Yu Yaoyao, remembering the noise in the hall, couldn't refuse and simply nodded. Seeing her nod, Bai Taoshi finally released his tightly clenched hand.

Yu Yaoyao sat down by the fountain with practiced ease, casually taking off her high heels again, rubbing her ankles, and speaking in a relaxed tone:

"What do you want to talk about?!"

Watching her actions, and recalling her earlier rejection, Shiratoshi hesitated for a moment before asking:

"Why did Ye Zhuozhuo suddenly decide to start an entertainment company? This isn't exactly her area of ​​expertise, is it?!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Yaoyao couldn't help but frown. She looked at Bai Taoshi with displeasure, subconsciously stopping her ankle massage, and said in a low voice:

"Can't my sister be worried that I'll be bullied in the entertainment industry?"

Seeing her displeasure, Shiroto couldn't help but mutter jealously:

"With me around, who would dare bully you?!"

He didn't speak loudly, but Yu Yaoyao still heard him. She looked at him with disdain and immediately retorted:

"You're an actor, I'm a singer. We're from two different industries, not the same one. Don't you know that different professions are like different worlds?!"

Bai Taoshi was somewhat unconvinced by what she said and directly retorted to Yu Yaoyao:

"What's the difference between a singer and an actor? Aren't they both celebrities?! Besides, you haven't even tried, how do you know I can't protect you? What if I said we could?! Would you dare to come with me?"

Seeing his concerned expression, Yu Yaoyao couldn't help but look at him with disdain and replied in a cold tone:

"Don't try to provoke me. It won't work. I don't want your fans to say I'm scheming and used other people's resources to get ahead."

At this point, she seemed to remember something, narrowed her eyes, looked at Shiratoshi with a warning expression, and said in a deep voice:

"Also, don't go talking about our relationship outside. If any scandals arise, I'll never forgive you."

Hearing this, Shiro Touya couldn't help but raise an eyebrow in surprise, looking at her with amusement as he questioned her condescendingly:

"How can it be endless?! Whether it's relentless pestering or relentless harassment, I don't care. I don't mind you bothering me anyway."

Hearing this, Yu Yaoyao stood up angrily. She was about to argue with Bai Taoshi when she heard Ye Qishi's warning voice behind her:

"Yaoyao, your father is looking for you."
