Touya Yaoyao

Yu Yaoyao probably never imagined that one day she would become the female lead in a melodramatic romance drama, just like when Ye Qishi forcibly dragged her away, and she stared blankly at Ye Qishi with an incredulous expression?!

Not only was Yu Yaoyao stunned, but Ye Zhuozhuo and Bai Taosheng beside her were also taken aback. They clearly did not expect that Ye Qishi would be so assertive one day.

Bai Taoyi looked at Ye Qishi, his originally calm eyes now filled with the anger of having his prey stolen. Ye Qishi, however, stared back at Bai Taoyi without fear, tightly protecting him behind him.

The two fought like hungry wolves vying for prey, neither willing to yield, making the atmosphere increasingly tense. Before Yu Yaoyao could even speak, Bai Taoshi chuckled to himself, his face full of mockery and sarcasm.

He looked down at Ye Qishi like a king, as contemptuously as if he were looking at an ant about to be crushed. Ye Qishi looked at him warily, and gripped Yu Yaoyao's hand even tighter, as if it were his only treasure.

"The siblings in the Ye family have such a good relationship."

As if unintentionally, Shiro Touya chuckled and said:

"But a brother is still a brother, isn't he?"

As he spoke, he looked at Yu Yaoyao, who had a conflicted expression, and said in a tone that was both a warning and a joke:

"See you tomorrow, Yaoyao. I hope you won't be late."

For some reason, Yu Yaoyao found Bai Taoshi's words particularly grating. She gave a perfunctory reply, a mere agreement, and then Bai Taoshi coldly said to Bai Taosheng:

"gone"

Bai Taosheng looked at Yu Yaoyao and Ye Qishi with a teasing expression. When he walked to Yu Yaoyao's side, he patted her shoulder meaningfully. Although he didn't say anything, his eyes told Yu Yaoyao to take care.

Then, urged by Bai Taoshi, Bai Taosheng left the Ye family villa. After Bai Taoshi and the others left, Ye Qishi silently let go of Yu Yaoyao's hand. He looked at Yu Yaoyao with a complicated expression, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

What could he say?! He couldn't. His father had said that Yaoyao was their sister, and could only be their sister.

Sister! Brother! Ha, can two people with no blood relation really be brother and sister?! He didn't know, and he didn't want to know. He only knew that from today onwards, Shirato Shirato would not let him go.

"Third Brother, have I... caused you trouble?!"

Yu Yaoyao looked at Ye Qishi cautiously and guiltily, as if she had done something wrong and was afraid of being scolded.

Ye didn't answer her question, but instead reached out and touched the top of his head, saying affectionately:

"This has nothing to do with Yaoyao. It was all my brother's own choice."

He spoke softly and gently, like a lover's whisper, but Ye Zhuozhuo's heart inexplicably began to pound wildly, because she had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, not long after Bai Taoshi left, Ye Zhuozhuo answered a call from her older brother Ye Qihua. Because of the time difference, Ye Qihua's voice was full of sleepiness and hoarseness.

Ye Qihua called for a simple reason: he wanted to know what had happened that day! Why were his parents subtly asking how Ye Qihua had offended Bai Taoshi?

As for why Ye's parents didn't ask Ye Zhuozhuo, it's because they didn't know if Ye Zhuozhuo was there or not. That's why they asked Ye Qihua, since Bai Taosheng was his good friend and he was sure he could find out something!

After learning that Ye Qihua had targeted Bai Taoshi because Yu Yaoyao was getting too close to him, Ye Qihua fell silent. He remained silent for a long, long time before finally managing to utter a helpless sentence:

"Mom and Dad are trying to find a marriage partner for your third brother. Zhuozhuo, keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't cause any trouble... Never mind, I'll go back to China first. After all, this is no small matter."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but sigh and mutter:

"Third brother, he really... won't give up."

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhuozhuo was taken aback for a moment before asking in surprise:

"Why won't Third Brother give up?! Isn't it the brother's duty to protect his sister?! I think Bai Taoshi went too far, hugging and cuddling Yaoyao in front of others, without any regard for Yaoyao's reputation."

Ye Qihua simply smiled at Ye Zhuozhuo's silly and cute remarks, and then began to make arrangements for returning to China.

If he didn't go back soon, he was really afraid that the angry Bai Taoshi would take the opportunity to make things difficult for Ye Qishi. It wouldn't matter to Ye Qishi, but the Ye family couldn't be targeted by Bai Taoshi because of Ye Qishi.

After all, the person standing behind Shiro Momoya is someone Ye Shi can't afford to offend, nor can the Ye family.

Yu Yaoyao had no idea that Ye Qihua was preparing to return to China, nor did she know how the Ye family would deal with Ye Qishi. She tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.

Bai Taoyi seems angry today?! Will he target the Ye family because of this?! Will he ruin the Ye family because of this?! What should she do to stop Bai Taoyi from being angry? How can she prevent the Ye family from being implicated by her?!

So annoying, so incredibly annoying! Why did I have to encounter something like this?!

She really had no intention of causing trouble, so why does bad luck keep coming her way?! Is she just that unlucky?!

Lost in thought, her phone suddenly rang. She instinctively pressed the answer button, only to hear Bai Taoshi's voice on the other end:

"Can't sleep?!"

Yu Yaoyao responded softly, and a soft laugh came from the other end, filled with pleasure and doting, as the voice pressed on:

"What are you worried about?! Huh?!"

Yu Yaoyao hesitated for a long time before tentatively asking:

"Can you...can you stop being angry?! Can you stop targeting the Ye family?!"

Upon hearing this, Shiro Touya took a deep breath and then said casually:

"It's not impossible, but Yaoyao, you know I'm not a good person. You'll have to pay the price for saying that!"

Yu Yaoyao lowered her eyes, stared at the ceiling, and remained silent for a long time before finally mustering her courage to speak:

"what do you want?!"

Bai Taoshi listened to Yu Yaoyao's desperate words in silence, then gave a self-deprecating laugh and whispered:

"I didn't originally want to interact with you this way, but it seems more convenient. Yaoyao, you know I... don't like being warned or humiliated."

Yu Yaoyao knew Bai Taoshi's temperament well, otherwise she wouldn't have been tossing and turning all night out of worry. So she responded softly, pleading:

"Can't we just pretend this never happened?! Even if I beg you, it won't work?!"

Shiro Touya sighed, his tone a mixture of helplessness and indulgence, and said gently:

"You beg me, and of course I'll agree? But Yaoyao, you saw how Ye Qishi treated me, didn't you? So, please let him go! I don't want to see him right now."

Yu Yaoyao couldn't answer this, and Bai Taoshi didn't expect her to either, so he changed his words at this point:

"It's getting late, you should go to sleep. Don't worry, the Ye family will be fine. I have to give you face."

After saying this, he hung up the phone, and just as he did, Bai Taosheng, who was on the phone next to him, also pressed the hang-up button.

Seeing Shirato Momoya's gloomy expression, Shirato Momomori couldn't help but whisper:

"The Ye family said they'll send Ye Qishi to North America tomorrow to handle some matters. Should we send someone to keep an eye on things?!"

Shiro Momoya decisively shook his head, directly rejecting the idea:

"No need. Let him go to Europe. Xiaoqian and the others will keep an eye on him. People in North America haven't been very obedient in recent years, and I don't want him to cause any more trouble during this period."

After saying that, he grabbed his hair, looking exasperated, and said:

"Yaoyao, really! What a mess she's made of! Can't she just behave herself? Why is she attracting so many suitors?!"

Bai Taosheng looked at Bai Taoyi's headache-ridden expression and his lips twitched involuntarily, unable to suppress his speechlessness.

Hey Bai Taoshi, what are you pretending to be innocent for? You've wanted to get rid of Ye Qishi for a long time, haven't you?! And now you're pretending to be innocent by saying it was all Yu Yaoyao's doing?!

If you hadn't deliberately said those things in front of Ye Qishi and kept a close distance from Yu Yaoyao, would Ye Qishi have dared to make trouble for you?!

But he also knew that some things should not be said, so he wisely chose to remain silent. After all, for Bai Taosheng, exposing some things would not do him any good.
