But then she felt a bit uneasy, as if she was guarding herself against a benefactor. He wasn’t soone trying to harass her.
While Wang Liuying was lost in thought, the refined man spoke: "Give your Jade Pendant."
"Huh?" Wang Liuying was taken aback, a Jade Pendant? She looked at the wooden jade pendant she wore on her hand.
This was sothing she brought from her hotown, made from wood her father cut from deep in the mountains and crafted by hand.
What’s he going to do with it?
"Give it to !" the man said coldly.
Wang Liuying was startled by the man’s icy voice, feeling sowhat wronged. She had thought this person should be kind-hearted and brave, but he turned out to be so indifferent.
But Wang Liuying didn’t dare hesitate. She removed the Jade Pendant and handed it over. Even though the pendant was aningful to her, she didn’t dare defy his command.
The man took it without any hesitation.
"Uh, I still want to thank you. My na is Wang Liuying. I don’t know your... your na?" Wang Liuying asked nervously.
The refined man’s eyelids lifted slightly, his gaze filled with indifference, making Wang Liuying and Xiao i both shudder inside.
Without a word, the man turned and left quickly, disappearing into the night.
"Hey, stop looking; he’s gone." Xiao i gently nudged Wang Liuying.
"Xiao i, what kind of person do you think he is?" Wang Liuying ca back to her senses and asked.
"I don’t know." Xiao i shook her head, a thought crossing her mind, "But he’s definitely not a good person."
"What are you saying? He just saved us; how could he not be a good person? He might just seem cold on the outside, but he has a good heart," Wang Liuying defended him. After all, he was their savior.
Xiao i said nothing. She wasn’t as naive as Wang Liuying. She had already seen through it; this man was after Liuying’s Jade Pendant.
Though she didn’t know what was special about Liuying’s pendant, judging by the man’s ruthless and decisive way of killing, he surely wasn’t a kind-hearted person!
"Why are you with ? You should just go ho." Ye Qingfeng said directly. Since he found Shui Yiyi and the others, he would head back to Huayu, and it wouldn’t be a problem if Yun Xi tagged along.
Yun Xi nearly spat blood in anger. Was this guy driving her away?
"Ye Qingfeng, let tell you, this big star here is quite popular. If you want to ask out, you better seize the opportunity." Yun Xi smirked with a hint of pride.
Ye Qingfeng was montarily silenced and asked curiously, "Why would I ask you out?"
This idiot!
Yun Xi stomped her foot in anger. Did she really have to confess her love so bluntly?
"Alright then, why don’t you co with us to et my friends first?"
Ye Qingfeng said directly, not wanting to waste ti.
Yun Xi was one of the few who could bear with Ye Qingfeng’s temper, not to ntion, she had just selflessly blocked a bullet for him, even though he didn’t need it, it still touched him.
Ye Qingfeng expanded his Divine Sense and quickly found Shui Yiyi and Shui Ruyi; they were by the sports center entrance.
"Ye Qingfeng, you’re back." Seeing Ye Qingfeng approach, Shui Yiyi smiled and said softly.
"Eh, who’s this?" Shui Ruyi asked curiously upon seeing Ye Qingfeng accompanied by soone.
Upon hearing the two clear, crisp female voices, Yun Xi was taken aback and quickly removed the hood of her black coat.
"Yun Xi! Wow, it’s really Yun Xi!" Shui Ruyi recognized her imdiately and exclaid in surprise.
Shui Yiyi was also stunned. Ye Qingfeng actually brought Yun Xi here. She had believed Ye Qingfeng when he said he knew Yun Xi, but she didn’t expect him to actually bring her along. Was he trying to prove he really knew Yun Xi? Shui Yiyi thought Ye Qingfeng wasn’t so petty.
Shui Yiyi and Shui Ruyi were surprised, but Yun Xi was even more shocked. She hadn’t expected Ye Qingfeng’s "friends" to be two beautiful won.
She initially thought it would be the "big man" her brother talked about!
"Wow, it really is Yun Xi. Hello, I’m a big fan of yours, my cousin and I love your songs." Shui Ruyi said cheerfully.
"Hello." Yun Xi regained her senses and smiled politely.
Though Yun Xi was surprised, being a star, she quickly adapted.
Her heart stirred slightly, no wonder Ye Qingfeng didn’t want her to co. His friends turned out to be two charming won, especially that slightly more mature one, who was quite graceful.
Yun Xi felt she would be truly fitting to perform her music, possessing the true essence of Jiangnan Water Town, whereas Yun Xi was just pretending.
She was actually a lively, proud woman who favored ancient-style songs, pretending to be elegant on stage only to please her audience.
But that woman genuinely had the vibe, making others feel comfortable.
But still, she was a big star! That’s definitely a plus, isn’t it? Ye Qingfeng actually ignored her for these two girls, what poor taste!
Yun Xi thought to herself.
"Brother-in-law, you’re amazing. I didn’t think you actually knew Yun Xi. I thought you were bluffing." Shui Ruyi laughed.
Brother-in-law?
Yun Xi was dumbfounded, standing there in a daze. Brother-in-law, this girl called Ye Qingfeng her brother-in-law, aning the elegant woman beside was her sister.
So she’s Ye Qingfeng’s wife.
Yun Xi’s mind exploded, finding it hard to believe Ye Qingfeng was married. He was already married?
Yun Xi could hardly process this; how could Ye Qingfeng be married? Such a domineering, aloof man, how could he marry soone?
Besides, with his bad temper, what woman would want him!
Seeing Yun Xi’s expression turn sour, Shui Ruyi quickly asked, "Sister Yun Xi, are you alright? You look a bit pale."
"No, it’s nothing." As a celebrity, Yun Xi was good at hiding her emotions and quickly composed herself.
Only Shui Yiyi felt sothing amiss. Even on stage, she sensed sothing was off, and now seeing Yun Xi’s expression, she could guess a bit.
Yun Xi likely fancied Ye Qingfeng.
She knew Ye Qingfeng was an exceptional man, so exceptional that even a big star like Yun Xi would be tempted.
In fact, Shui Yiyi had a point.
She, too, had endured Ye Qingfeng’s bad temper before; that cold deanor was quite daunting.
