Touya Yaoyao

Yu Yaoyao remained silent in the face of Ye Qishi's accusations. She had experienced this many times before and knew that Ye Qishi was difficult to please.

She knew that no matter what she said or did, the other party would hardly be satisfied, so she simply chose to remain silent and ignore the issue.

What else can you do?! To put it bluntly, since in the other person's eyes you are already the kind of person they describe, and no matter how you change or make any promises, you are still wrong, then what's the point of explaining or arguing? You might as well just let it go and stop talking.

Ye Qishi grew increasingly dissatisfied with Yu Yaoyao's silence. Seeing her stillness, he became increasingly annoyed and couldn't help but lash out at her:

"I'm asking you a question! Are you mute?!"

Yu Yaoyao looked at Ye Qishi's angry expression, pouted, and replied dismissively in an annoyed tone:

"Europe"

Seeing Yu Yaoyao's indifferent expression, Ye Qi became even angrier and couldn't help but question her:

"Yu Yaoyao, what do you mean? Now that you're all grown up, you don't even listen to your brother anymore, do you!"

Looking at Ye Qishi's angry expression, Yu Yaoyao felt a headache coming on, but she really didn't want to argue with Ye Qishi, so she just looked at him with a helpless gaze and a depressed expression, giving people the feeling of a clumsy man seeing his wife being unreasonable in front of him.

She genuinely didn't know how to communicate with Ye Qishi, especially when he was angry.

But this was not what Ye Qishi wanted, so Ye Qishi felt frustrated, like she had punched a cotton ball.

He wanted to continue his harsh words, but when he saw Yu Yaoyao's silent and innocent expression, he could only suppress his anger and warned her again:

"Anyway, you need to stay away from Shirato Shiro, understand?!"

As he spoke, his gaze was fixed on Yu Yaoyao, as if he would never let her off the hook if she dared not agree.

Yu Yaoyao felt a little uneasy under his gaze, and in order to avoid a conflict, she could only obediently nod.

Seeing this, Ye Qishi's mood improved slightly. He reached out and touched the top of Yu Yaoyao's head, giving her earnest instructions:

"Yaoyao, your brother is doing this for your own good. It's not that I don't agree with you dating other people, but you should investigate their character before dating them. Don't agree to be someone's girlfriend just because someone is nice to you."

At this point, he sighed, his eyes filled with pity and helplessness as he looked at Yu Yaoyao, and repeatedly instructed her:

"Yaoyao, you're a girl, you need to be careful when choosing a partner. Don't be blinded by money and power, understand?! Bai Taoshi, he's not a good person, it's better for you to stay away from him."

Yu Yaoyao had heard Ye Qishi's earnest teachings countless times since she was a child, but no matter how nice the words were, she would inevitably get tired of them after hearing them too many times.

Not to mention that every time Bai Taoshi came to the Ye family, Ye Qishi would give Yu Yaoyao a few instructions. Yu Yaoyao would take it seriously once or twice, but after a while, it became just a perfunctory response.

Ye was aware of Yu Yaoyao's perfunctory attitude. He also knew that, rather than nagging, Yu Yaoyao probably needed to make her own judgment about whether to contact Bai Taoshi.

But as soon as he saw Bai Taoshi, he couldn't help but nag Yu Yaoyao, even getting angry and furious. As a result, Yu Yaoyao became more and more perfunctory, and he became even more annoying to her.

This seemed to have created a vicious cycle, one that he himself could not control, and Yu Yaoyao showed no sign of putting him at ease, still entangled with Bai Taoshi.

Perhaps it wasn't that Yu Yaoyao wanted to get entangled with Bai Taoshi, but rather that the other party didn't want to let Yu Yaoyao go, and he was powerless to change or stop the situation.

After a long silence, Ye Qi finally let Yu Yaoyao go. Yu Yaoyao didn't linger and silently walked back.

As night approached, most of the guests attending the banquet were inevitably tired. Therefore, before they had rested for long, Yu Yaoyao was taken by Ye Yuntao to see the guests off.

While it was said to be seeing off guests, Yu Yaoyao mostly followed behind Ye Yuntao, smiling and greeting him with polite words. Her older sister Ye Zhuozhuo, older brother Ye Qihua, and third brother Ye Qishi did the same.

Second brother Ye Qijia couldn't make it back for Yu Yaoyao's graduation banquet because of some business, but to show his sincerity, he still sent gifts and red envelopes to celebrate. Therefore, he was not in the group seeing off the guests today.

After seeing off the last group of guests, Yu Yaoyao wearily rubbed her temples. Seeing her exhausted expression, Ye Yuntao couldn't help but smile indulgently and gently suggested:

"If Yaoyao is tired, go back to your room and rest. Daddy, your older brother, and your older sister will take care of the rest for you."

As soon as Ye Yuntao finished speaking, Ye Qihua, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but laugh and tease him:

"Yes, Yaoyao, you're our family's only artist now. If you don't rest properly, you won't have any inspiration to create."

He had barely finished speaking when Yu Weijin glared at him reproachfully and said with a laugh:

"As the eldest brother, why do you say such unlucky things?"

After saying all this, she looked at Yu Yaoyao with affection and said:

"Yaoyao, go and rest first. We can talk about everything tomorrow, okay?!"

Yu Yaoyao nodded obediently, then yawned and slowly walked towards her room on the third floor. When everyone saw how sleepy she looked, they belatedly realized that she hadn't had a proper rest since getting off the plane, which explained her exhaustion.

Thinking of this, Ye Yuntao couldn't help but feel a little guilty. He had forgotten that there was a flight time of more than ten hours from Europe to Asia. In addition, with the time spent buying plane tickets and packing luggage, he probably had very little time to sleep.

Seeing his father's guilty expression, Ye Qihua couldn't help but comfort him:

"Dad, don't worry. Yaoyao came back in first class, so she can rest a bit. Besides, she knows that the reason you took this opportunity to hold the graduation ball is to make Yaoyao's future easier. I think she knows that, which is why she didn't refuse."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Zhuozhuo chimed in at the opportune moment:

"Yes, Dad, you know those people are very busy. They must have made a special effort to come tonight. If they had postponed it, things might not have gone so smoothly."

Ultimately, as children, we naturally want our father not to feel too guilty about this, because his intentions were good.

It was precisely because of her good intentions that Yu Yaoyao, despite her drowsiness, didn't refuse. Ye Yuntao clearly knew this as well, and thus couldn't help but look at Ye Qihua and the others, smiling as he said:

"Alright, alright, you've all had a long day, and you all have things to do tomorrow. Go to sleep and don't disturb my time with your mother."

After saying this, he put his arm around his wife and headed straight for the bedroom. Ye Qihua and the others looked at their parents' loving relationship and couldn't help but smile at each other before leaving.
