Touya Yaoyao

At this very moment, Yu Yaoyao was hiding in the corner of the hotel, watching the real-life 8 pm romantic drama, "The Temptation of My Childhood Sweetheart," playing in front of her with a blank expression.

She is Li Shujing. The daughter of the Director of the State Taxation Administration of Zhaoguo, a pampered and beloved young woman with countless suitors, yet she is devoted to only one person.

He is Bai Taoshi, the second son of the Bai Group, the largest conglomerate in Zhao Kingdom. He is a renowned young actor who is pursued and targeted by Li Shujing.

When she met him, when she fell in love with him, when her love was unrequited, what choice would she make? What will become of their love?

Yes, respect, lock it in, and best wishes.

Yu Yaoyao rolled her eyes to herself, feeling that she couldn't accept this plot. Just then, someone suddenly patted her shoulder.

The person who patted her shoulder was a man, about 1.8 meters tall, much taller than Yu Yaoyao.

It was strange, though, that he was wearing black sunglasses indoors, which covered his eyes and eyebrows.

He had a high nose bridge, slightly pursed lips, and although he was wearing a black suit, he hadn't buttoned it up. His black tie swayed slightly with his movements, making him look ascetic with a touch of cynicism.

Yu Yaoyao subconsciously distanced herself from the other person, looking quite reserved. The other person glanced at Bai Taoshi and Li Shujing, who were still persistently pestering each other, and asked in surprise:

"Is he your boyfriend?!"

His tone was light and cheerful, tinged with curiosity. Yu Yaoyao shook her head in denial. Seeing her shake her head, the man couldn't help but look her up and down and asked in surprise:

"If he's not your boyfriend, what are you looking at here for?!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Yaoyao cautiously pointed to the balcony behind the two of them, and then whispered:

"I lost my earring somewhere, and I want to go get it, but I'm afraid of bothering them."

Upon hearing this, the man seemed to understand something. He walked out on his own, ignoring the two still arguing, and went straight to the balcony. After searching for a while, he picked up Yu Yaoyao's dropped earring and said casually:

"Is this it?!"

His voice was loud, instantly attracting the attention of the two people present. Yu Yaoyao was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into, but she could only bite the bullet and reply:

"This is it."

Seeing that Yu Yaoyao had confirmed, the man placed the earring in a handkerchief, wiped it clean, and then slowly walked towards Yu Yaoyao. He then placed the earring from the handkerchief into Yu Yaoyao's outstretched hand, saying gently:

"Remember to keep it safe next time."

Under the almost burning gazes of Bai Taoshi and Li Shujing, Yu Yaoyao nodded in shame and indignation, then fled in panic.

Oh my god, this is so incredibly embarrassing! I swear I didn't really want to see this kind of plot, but... I was really forced to, really!!!

Seeing the people hurrying away, the man chuckled, then took off his sunglasses and teased Bai Taoshi and Li Shujing:

"It's quite lively today, isn't it?"

Despite the man's teasing, Bai Taoyi stared at him with a gloomy expression, questioning him as if asking why he had suddenly appeared there. Seeing this, the man couldn't help but innocently shrug, his tone shifting the blame as he said:

"It's not my fault. I saw her sneaking around watching for ages as soon as I got here. I was just trying to help her."

Shiratoya seemed to have long been used to the man's perfunctory attitude, and gave a cold laugh before falling silent.

Li Shujing was extremely resistant to the man who had suddenly appeared. She instinctively wanted to get closer to Bai Taoshi, seeking his protection, but Bai Taoshi looked at Li Shujing with extreme impatience and said to the man:

"You decide what to do."

After saying that, he left the balcony, which had been making him so irritable, with a gloomy expression.

As soon as Bai Taoyi left, Li Shujing instinctively tried to chase after him. At that moment, the man chopped her in the neck with a chop. In less than a second, Li Shujing collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

Seeing Li Shujing lying unconscious on the ground, the man skillfully took out his phone and made a call. Within three seconds, several bodyguards in suits came out, grabbed Li Shujing, and dragged her away.

"Honestly, do I really need to get involved in something like this? Don't you know I'm a peace-loving young master?!"

With some impatience, the man took out a handkerchief and wiped his hand that had touched Li Shujing's neck, then carelessly tossed the priceless handkerchief into the nearby trash can.

Because she wanted to gossip about what would happen between Ye Xiaoqian and Abili, and also because she learned that they had booked a room next to hers, Yu Yaoyao took a glass from the coffee table and stuck it on the wall as soon as she returned to her room.

Although there was a wall between them, Ye Xiaoqian's voice was still clear, and Yu Yaoyao could even guess what was happening on the other side.

At this moment, Abily would cautiously glance at Ye Xiaoqian, who was sitting on the bed working on her laptop, from time to time, before quickly looking away.

Ye Xiaoqian was naturally familiar with his subtle actions, so she soon closed her notebook, looked down at Abiley kneeling on the ground, and asked in a lazy tone:

"Tell me, who told you to do this?! To propose to Yu Yaoyao?! And with such a huge bouquet of roses?!"

Abily first observed Ye Xiaoqian's expression, and only after realizing that she wasn't truly angry did he carefully choose his words:

"My sister asked me to buy the roses. I proposed because I discovered she seemed to have been caught in a compromising situation, and I wanted to save her..."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaoqian stood up, slowly walked to Abili, raised her hand, lifted Abili's chin, and sneered:

"Is this how you save someone?! How come I never realized you were so adorably clumsy?! Abiley, you should know that the reason I agreed to marry you was because..."

Before Ye Xiaoqian could finish speaking, Abilley interrupted in an extremely obsequious manner:

"I'm the most obedient, the most well-behaved, and the least likely to cause you trouble. I always put you first; if you tell me to go east, I'll never go west; if you tell me to kneel, I'll never sit."

Ye Xiaoqian sneered, reached out and grabbed Abili's chin, lowering her voice to question him:

"If that's the case, why did you propose to someone else?! Abiley, don't tell me you've fallen for that woman?!"

The pain in his chin made Abilie frown, but he didn't dare to be careless and quickly explained:

"How could I possibly like her?! No one would like a violent maniac like her. Xiaoqian, you know me. My heart has always belonged to you, only you. My flirting with other women in college was only to get your attention."

Ye Xiaoqian snorted coldly at his fabricated story, mocking him:

"That's all you're capable of."

As she spoke, she released her grip on Abilley's chin, looked at the man's face in front of her, and remained silent.

She stared at it for a long time, and finally, whether it was a complaint or a lament, she inexplicably blurted out:

"How could I have fallen for you?!"

Yu Yaoyao didn't want to hear any more of what was going on; she was afraid she would throw up if she did.

Abiley, Abiley, I really underestimated you. You're such a good actress, making even cheating sound so elegant and sophisticated.

What do you mean I flirt with other women just to get your attention? Pshaw! You're just trying to get her attention?! You're just trying to satisfy your vanity.

You know, all those girls at the Royal Conservatoire in Europe, if they're even remotely attractive, have you ever had a flirtatious relationship with them? In fact, aside from the final act, haven't you ever done kissing, hugging, or anything like that?

Still trying to act like a Casanova here? Pfft, that's disgusting.

With a look of disgust, Yu Yaoyao tossed her water glass aside and, feeling utterly dejected, prepared to take a shower and go to bed. Just then, there was a knock on her door.

She had expected Shirai Touya to come, but instead it was the man who had given her the earrings. The man glanced at her, smiled, and then asked:

"My friends and I are having a get-together later, would you like to join us?!"

His smile was polite, and his attitude was extremely respectful. Yu Yaoyao glanced at the man warily and politely declined.

"Sorry, not interested"

As she was about to close the door, the man pressed it shut and invited her again:

"Are you really not going?! We're not bad people."

Yu Yaoyao glanced at him, and her response was the crisp sound of the door closing.

Looking at Yu Yaoyao's tightly closed door, the man shrugged at Bai Taoshi beside him and said helplessly:

"She's quite hard to get a hold of!!"
