Touya Yaoyao

Ye Zhuozhuo knew her third brother quite well. Although he might be serious and have a strong desire to control things and people, she still didn't quite believe the kind of domineering control Yu Yaoyao described.

Seeing that her older sister didn't believe her, Yu Yaoyao could only purse her lips in disappointment, not daring to say anything more. Ye Zhuozhuo looked at her pitiful appearance, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke:

"Yaoyao, you know that Third Brother hates being lied to the most. Is there something you're hiding from him, which is why he..."

The words were left unsaid, but the meaning was the same. Yu Yaoyao didn't argue or say anything, whether she felt that explaining was useless or she acquiesced.

Just then, Yu Yaoyao's phone suddenly rang. She looked at the caller ID, took a deep breath, and then pressed the answer button.

Ye Zhuozhuo was initially curious why she had to take a deep breath just to answer the phone, but the next moment she saw her younger sister listlessly muttering to herself into the phone:

"Just woke up. Yes, I'm still with my sister. I didn't run around."

"Yes, yes, I was very obedient. I really didn't run around or bother my sister's work."

"My sister didn't dislike me, and I didn't cause her any trouble. I was really good!!!"

"Coming to pick me up?! No need, my sister needs my cooperation to take photos and record audio, she said she found some resources for me??"

"I'm really busy with work and haven't done anything messy. You really don't need to take time out of your schedule to pick me up; I can manage on my own."

……

At first, Ye Zhuozhuo was puzzled. She thought, "It's just a phone call, is it really necessary to make such a fuss?"

Even after Yu Yaoyao repeatedly declined, her third brother insisted on coming. Ye Zhuozhuo vaguely felt that her third brother seemed to be a little too controlling of Yaoyao.

Subconsciously frowning, Ye Zhuozhuo asked Yu Yaoyao after she hung up the phone with a frown:

"Has Third Brother always been like this?"

Yu Yaoyao glanced at her sister, whose face was full of curiosity, then sat down on the sofa next to her, rubbing her temples with a terrible headache, and muttered to herself:

"I don't know why, but ever since I came of age, my third brother has been extremely strict with me. I don't know why. Sister, you know I'm very well-behaved, but it seems like my third brother doesn't trust me."

When Yu Yaoyao said this, she looked utterly defeated, as if she had encountered something extremely powerless.

Seeing Yu Yaoyao's utterly devastated expression, Ye Zhuozhuo was about to offer some words of comfort when the phone rang again. This time, Yu Yaoyao's expression became even more distraught.

"I'm at my sister's company, and you come here?! What are you doing here?! Having dinner with me?! I promised you, but weren't you filming?? You finished filming?! It's only been a few days??"

……

Based on Yu Yaoyao's tone of voice and actions, Ye Zhuozhuo deduced that the person making the call this time was Bai Taoshi.

The reason for this speculation is that this guy has been clinging to his younger sister since high school. If his sister hadn't gone abroad to study, he probably would have chosen to go to the same university as her.

First, her third brother showed her great concern, and then Bai Taoshi offered his kind greetings. Ye Zhuozhuo felt more and more that there seemed to be something extraordinary going on here.

Finally, unable to refuse any longer, Yu Yaoyao pinched her brow and earnestly persuaded Bai Taoshi:

"Not today. My third brother said he wants to go shopping with me today, so I can't make it. Let's get together another time."

After saying that, she didn't listen to how the other person changed their mind and hung up the phone on her own. Then she called her third brother and said that Bai Taoshi had invited her to dinner, so she wouldn't wait for him to come over.

Having skillfully dealt with the two men, Yu Yaoyao took a deep breath, then turned off her phone and said to Ye Zhuozhuo:

"Sis, I'm going to get busy."

Ye Zhuozhuo looked at Yu Yaoyao, who was about to leave, and couldn't help but ask in surprise:

"Where are you going?!"

Yu Yaoyao simply picked up the backpack that was already prepared beside her and replied without even looking up:

"Go check out that plot of land from yesterday, do some planning, make some design drawings or something, I'll be back around tonight!"

Upon hearing that she wanted to look at land, Ye Zhuozhuo couldn't help but frown and immediately pressed for an answer:

"Can't I take you tomorrow?"

"no"

Yu Yaoyao spoke with absolute certainty, her expression as serious and earnest as if something bad was about to happen, even her tone had become much calmer as she said:

"They'll block the door if we're any later."

Before she could even move, Ye Zhuozhuo's office door was pushed open. Bai Taoshi frowned as he looked at Yu Yaoyao carrying the backpack, and said unhappily:

"You're going to eat with me wearing this?!"

Ye Zhuozhuo glanced at Bai Taoshi, then at Yu Yaoyao, who was about to make an excuse to slip away. Before she could speak, Bai Taoshi grabbed Yu Yaoyao by the back of her collar and coldly questioned her:

"Where do you think you're going this time?!"

Yu Yaoyao was held captive by Bai Taoshi and couldn't move, so she could only explain with an awkward smile:

"I made plans with my brother; I'm going to keep him company..."

"No need to go."

Bai Taoshi spoke with an air of composure, his tone tinged with arrogance, as he sneered at Yu Yaoyao:

"Your third brother needs to discuss a collaboration with my brother, so he won't be able to come for a while. You'd better get dressed and come eat with me."

Hearing this, Yu Yaoyao looked at Ye Zhuozhuo with pleading eyes. Ye Zhuozhuo coughed lightly, but before she could speak, Bai Taoshi placed his hand on Yu Yaoyao's body, put his arm around her shoulder, and bossed Ye Zhuozhuo around in a condescending manner:

"I'll take her to the next group variety show."

Ye Zhuozhuo paused for a second, seemingly hesitant. After all, this guy had tricked her younger sister several times, and she was really unsure of her attitude.

Seeing that Ye Zhuozhuo wouldn't agree, Bai Taoshi simply unleashed his ultimate move, speaking to Ye Zhuozhuo again without any hesitation:

"I can have her appear alongside me on the magazine cover in a few days."

The variety show Bai Taoshi was referring to was "Let's Fall in Love," which received even more attention than Ye Yunshen's variety show.

This variety show is basically about bringing together a few young people from different backgrounds and having them date and have some sweet moments on the show. It seems to be going for a heartwarming and healing vibe.

This variety show offers more freedom than Ye Yun Shen's show, and there aren't any messy tasks. It's impossible not to be tempted.

Not to mention, this variety show had previously announced that it had invited Bai Taoshi, and several young people who had appeared on the show were incredibly popular. Ye Zhuozhuo was interested in letting her younger sister try it out, but considering Yu Yaoyao's lazy nature, she gave up.

The magazine cover he mentioned was also the cover of a book published by Kyoto Hokusai for the famous "Zekoku Entertainment".

It should be noted that very few celebrities can be featured in this magazine; even among movie stars, few have this honor. Letting one's younger sister take advantage of this opportunity is definitely a win-win situation.

But what if people start saying bad things about my younger sister after she's in a magazine?!

Ye Zhuozhuo wavered at this thought, but Yu Yaoyao protested directly, even retorting without any politeness:

"I refuse! Your fans already suspect you're love-struck, and they even say I'm the one who cheats people out of money and sex! If you bring me onto magazine covers now, won't that just confirm those accusations? I don't agree."

Bai Taoshi looked at Yu Yaoyao, who was full of resistance, with disdain, frowned, and said irritably:

"Yu Yaoyao, don't be ungrateful."

Despite Bai Taoshi's warning, Yu Yaoyao didn't think it was a big deal. She rolled her eyes, shook off Bai Taoshi's hand from her shoulder, crossed her arms, and kept her distance, issuing a blunt warning:

"Don't try to bribe me. I have things to do and don't have time to play games with you."

With that, she slung her backpack over her shoulder again and prepared to leave Ye Zhuozhuo's office. Although it was a bit of a pity, her younger sister had already rejected the other party's offer, so Ye Zhuozhuo could only regretfully say that she also refused.

But before Ye Zhuozhuo could speak, Bai Taoshi scratched his hair in frustration, then grabbed Yu Yaoyao's backpack, and said in a softened tone, half anxious and half helpless:

"Where are you going?! I'll take you there, is that alright now?"

But his answer was Yu Yaoyao's crisp and decisive refusal:

"No way, I'm not going with you. Then we'll get photographed and it'll be all over social media. You'd better stay away from me, or I'll call your dad and tell him you're not working properly and are just wandering around aimlessly."
