Touya Yaoyao

After listening to Yu Yaoyao and Abili's conversation, Bai Taoshi didn't say anything, but looked at Ye Xiaoqian with a somewhat unhappy expression.

Although it was just a brief glance, Ye Xiaoqian inexplicably felt immense pressure. She looked awkwardly at Bai Taoshi and couldn't help but promise:

"This is the last time, the very last time. I swear I'll never let him bother Miss Yu again."

Hearing the satisfactory reply, Shiratoya turned off the bugging device and spoke casually but with a warning in his eyes:

"Yaoyao isn't the most straightforward type of person, and sometimes she doesn't know how to refuse others. So, I hope you can all be a little more considerate sometimes."

After saying that, he turned his gaze to Ye Xiaoqian. Ye Xiaoqian felt extremely overwhelmed and, under that piercing gaze, quickly continued to assure him:

"That's for sure. After all, we're not the kind of people who like to force others to do things their way."

As she spoke, seemingly afraid that staying any longer would cause more problems, Ye Xiaoqian simply stood up and took her leave:

"I have something to do, so I'll be going now. Let's talk again when we have time."

After saying that, she hurriedly left the room, as if someone was chasing her.

There were only Bai Taoshi and Ye Xiaoqian in the room. Bai Taoshi invited Ye Xiaoqian into the room for a simple reason: to keep her man in check and not let him bother her Yaoyao.

Therefore, after Ye Xiaoqian left, Bai Taoshi did not linger in the room. Instead, he went straight out of the room and took the elevator to the top floor.

He was lost in thought the whole way, just watching the numbers in the elevator gradually rise, his emotions teetering on the edge of spiraling out of control.

It makes sense. Yu Yaoyao was so loyal in giving Aibili advice on how to pursue the girl he liked, but she didn't mention it at all to Bai Taoshi, as if she knew nothing about it.

She clearly understands emotions so well, and she understands others so thoroughly, yet she seems to be blind to Shirato Shi, unable to see anything.

Whether she was truly blind or doing it on purpose, Shiratoshi had never been able to figure it out before, but everything that happened today made it seem to him that it was intentional.

She must have sensed his intentions, which is why she avoided him at all costs, even making excuses, for fear of getting into trouble.

But he already explained it. Bai Taosheng is Bai Taosheng, and he is him. Why does she still act like she doesn't care? Doesn't she care about him at all? Doesn't she care about his thoughts at all?!

When Bai Taoshi arrived at the top floor, Yu Yaoyao was eating barbecue. Aibili had grilled a lot of meat skewers but hadn't eaten them, and there were also a lot of drinks to drink. Now, with a cool breeze and starlight all over the sky, they seemed quite comfortable eating barbecue and drinking beverages.

Thinking this, Yu Yaoyao hummed a little tune, amusing herself with self-satisfaction, when she heard footsteps.

She assumed the footsteps were Abilene's, so without looking up, she asked:

"Why are you back again?! Did your fiancée reject you?!"

As she spoke, she subconsciously looked up and saw Shirato Shirai looking down at her with a displeased expression.

Yu Yaoyao stared in astonishment at Bai Taoshi's expressionless face, wondering if she had offended him. But before she could speak, Bai Taoshi squatted down on his own, looking at Yu Yaoyao with a complicated expression and questioning her:

"You like that guy named Abiley?! What makes him better than me?! You like him that much, to the point of helping him pursue the girl he likes?! Are you that starved for love?"

In the end, perhaps out of anger, Shiro Touya's eyes burned with fierce fury.

Seeing his reaction, Yu Yaoyao dared not say a word. Looking at his furious expression, she cautiously murmured:

"First of all, I don't like Abiley. Secondly, it's normal for me to lend a hand to my senior when he's in trouble. Finally, I don't lack love; I gave him advice because he cooked delicious food for me."

But this answer clearly still didn't satisfy Shirato Shirai, so he simply snatched the bamboo skewer from her hand and said angrily:

"Eat, eat, eat! All you ever think about is eating. Don't you have anything else on your mind besides eating?"

Looking at the indignant Shiratoshi, Yu Yaoyao spoke frankly and earnestly:

"Besides food, you can also have money."

Bai Taoshi was furious at Yu Yaoyao's answer. He shoved the meat skewers in her way, pulled her aside to a quiet spot, grabbed her arms, and looked into her bewildered eyes. He couldn't help but ask:

"Why did you give Abilley advice?! Why didn't you give me advice?! Do you think Abilley is more important than me?! Do you think I have no place in your heart at all?!"

Yu Yaoyao looked at Bai Taoshi's clenched teeth and insanely jealous expression with panic, and stammered a promise:

"If you need it, I can actually give you some advice."

Does he need this?! Is this what he needs?! Is she genuinely oblivious or just pretending?! What he wants is her attention?! Does he even understand what attention means?!

Thinking of this, he gripped Yu Yaoyao's arm tightly and couldn't help but scold her:

"Who needs your advice?! Who cares about your advice?! Tell me, Yu Yaoyao, what am I to you?! What am I to you?!"

Seeing that Yu Yaoyao was about to speak, he looked at her extremely frightened appearance with a fierce expression and warned her with a murderous look:

"If you dare say I'm just your childhood friend or classmate?! I'll... I'll..."

After thinking for a long time but unable to come up with a threatening word, Bai Taoshi looked at Yu Yaoyao's innocent expression and couldn't help but put one arm around her waist and the other hand around her head. Without saying a word, he subconsciously tried to kiss her.

Yu Yaoyao was terrified and hurriedly buried her face in Bai Taoshi's arms to avoid the sudden kiss.

Bai Taoshi, already furious, saw Yu Yaoyao dare to dodge, and her actions, which added fuel to the fire, made his reason waver.

He tugged at Yu Yaoyao's body, trying to push her face away from his embrace, but Yu Yaoyao refused to look up. In the end, she simply reached out, lowered her head, and tightly gripped Bai Taoshi's waist.

Shirato Ya wanted to pry her tightly clasped hands off, but she held on even tighter. This action made Shirato Ya, who was still angry, suddenly calm down, and even her expression became much gentler.

The anger and fear that had gripped him from the fear of loss were soothed at that moment. So, he silently embraced Yu Yaoyao's waist, then gently kissed the top of her head, and whispered:

"Please stop treating other men like that! Yaoyao, stop giving other men advice, I can't take it, I don't want you to leave me."

He spoke very gently and softly, as if talking to himself, or perhaps to Yu Yaoyao. Yu Yaoyao did not answer, but silently let go of his hand.

Even if she were slow to realize, she should have figured out that Shirato Shirai's identity must be unusual. Otherwise, how could she be so familiar with the daughter of the European district chief, and even be childhood sweethearts with the daughter of the director of the Zhao Kingdom's tax bureau?

She considered herself an ordinary person who only wanted to live a simple and ordinary life, and had no interest or curiosity about the living environment of the high-ranking officials and nobles.

She didn't think she was particularly outstanding, nor did she think she was unique, or even that she was the smartest or most beautiful one.

To put it bluntly, Shiratoshi likes her now, but how many years can this feeling last?!

When feelings fade and passion cools, and life returns to normalcy, does Shirato Shirai really think he won't be tempted by new temptations?

Not to mention, there are plenty of people in this world with her personality and appearance. Does Shiratoshi dare to say that he would truly only like her and consider himself unique?!

Impossible. The only reason people haven't betrayed you is because they don't have enough leverage. Once they have enough leverage, betrayal will be a piece of cake.

Rather than trusting a man's feelings, she preferred to trust her career and money. Therefore, Yu Yaoyao silently let go of his hand and prepared to escape. After all, the atmosphere at this moment did not seem friendly to her.

Bai Taoshi seemed to have anticipated her actions, so he simply pulled her into his arms again, holding her very tightly, so tightly that Yu Yaoyao could hear Bai Taoshi's heartbeat and breathing.

"You are mine, Yaoyao, you are mine. I won't allow you to like anyone else, and I won't allow anyone to take you away from me. No one can take you away from me."

Shiro Momoya's words were obsessive, a blatant declaration of his sovereignty. His expression was filled with obvious murderous intent and blatant anger, as if he were on high alert, fearing that everyone would fight for his treasure.
