Chapter 8:
[Damn! She's really beautiful!]
She was already beautiful, but with that exquisite makeup, she was even more stunning!
Hearing Ye Liuyun's thoughts brought a smile to You Yu's face. Although she had received many compliments about her beauty, his praise made her genuinely happy.
"Hey, handsome! Are you alone? Mind if I sit here?"
Without waiting for an answer, You Yu sat down beside Ye Liuyun, exuding a captivating aura with every movement.
"Of course, I don't mind!"
Ye Liuyun wasn't the kind of guy who pretended to be aloof. If beauty comes knocking, why not welcome it?
[As expected, my handsome self is like a firefly in the night! Even just sitting quietly, I radiate light! Attracting beautiful women to come closer!]
Feeling somewhat smug, he couldn’t help but indulge in a bit of self-admiration.
"Pfft!"
Hearing his thoughts, You Yu couldn't hold back her laughter and suddenly spat out the sip of wine she had just drank.
"What's so funny?"
Ye Liuyun asked curiously, noticing her sudden laughter.
"Nothing! Nothing!" You Yu waved her hands dismissively and tried to stifle her laughter.
What an interesting man!
"Hey, handsome, let’s exchange contacts!" She took out her phone and waved it in front of Ye Liuyun.
"Sure!" Ye Liuyun didn’t hesitate and pulled out his phone. However...
[Wait a minute! Where did that phone come from? She doesn’t have any pockets!]
"..."
You Yu didn’t say anything, just smiled at Ye Liuyun. Curiosity could sometimes be harmful!
"I'm Ye Liuyun. What's your name?" Ye Liuyun asked, still curious but proceeding to exchange contacts.
"I'm You Yu!" she replied.
However, her name made Ye Liuyun pause for a moment.
"Are you from the You family in Hai city?"
You Yu, the second female lead, belonged to the influential You family in Hai city.
"Yes!" she nodded without hesitation, crushing any hopes he had of her being a random beauty at the party.
Damn! If her name was You Yu and she was from the You family, she must be the second female lead!
Before You Yu could react, Ye Liuyun silently deleted her contact information, turned off his phone, and put it away in one swift motion.
"I just remembered, my horoscope says I should avoid women for the next few days!"
"..."
What a lame excuse!
The next moment, Ye Liuyun’s thoughts echoed loudly.
[Tsk! Another dog licking and troublemaker female lead! I thought she was just a beautiful guest at the party. What a waste of a beautiful encounter!]
Despite his thoughts, Ye Liuyun didn't show any signs of regret.
After all, there were many other beauties at the party. Although they might not be as stunning as You Yu, they were close enough, and they didn’t come with any trouble.
"You...!"
Dog licking? Troublemaker? If it weren’t for the fact that she couldn’t explain hearing his thoughts, You Yu would have confronted Ye Liuyun right there!
"You Yu!" At that moment, Yao Huaimeng’s voice called out.
"I almost thought you weren’t coming!" she said.
"Sister Huaimeng!"
Yao Huaimeng originally intended to go straight to Ye Liuyun, but seeing You Yu with him talk happily, she felt even more uncomfortable.
However, Ye Liuyun’s thoughts made her almost laugh out loud as she walked over.
"How could I miss Grandpa Yao’s birthday?" You Yu smiled and hugged Yao Huaimeng. But as they embraced, she whispered in her ear, "You came over to laugh at me, didn’t you?"
At this point, You Yu couldn’t help but suspect that Yao Huaimeng could hear Ye Liuyun's thoughts as well. She must have come over after seeing her situation!
"What are you talking about? I don’t understand," Yao Huaimeng replied innocently.
You Yu just glared at her before putting on a smile and letting go. To outsiders, they looked like good friends.
[Tsk! Two dog licking female leads are together!]
Ye Liuyun’s thoughts made both You Yu and Yao Huaimeng’s faces stiffen simultaneously.
"We meet again. If I remember correctly, you’re Zhao Haogan’s bodyguard, Ye Liuyun, right?"
Despite her inner feelings, Yao Huaimeng maintained a calm exterior.
"Ms. Yao, you have a good memory!" Ye Liuyun replied solelmnly. "I’m just following my young master’s orders. If you have any issues, you can speak to him."
He appeared loyal to Zhao Haogan on the surface, but his thoughts were different.
[Dumb young master, come and shield me! The best use of a foolish young master is as a shield!"]
This contrast amused both Yao Huaimeng and You Yu. This guy was unexpectedly cunning.
"I said we would meet again, and here we are!" Yao Huaimeng said.
"..."
Were they really here to target him?
Should he run?
...
However, the confrontation he anticipated didn’t happen.
Instead, Yao Huaimeng started chatting with You Yu.
Despite their differences, they were close friends with many shared topics.
But...
[Can’t you let me sit here quietly? Why aren't you leaving?]
Ye Liuyun thought, noticing that their presence was drawing attention to him at the birthday banquet.
[How am I supposed to flirt with other women like this?]
Because of Yao Huaimeng and You Yu, Ye Liuyun couldn't approach any of the other beautiful women at the banquet.
"... Still thinking about other women?" After exchanging a glance, Yao Huaimeng and You Yu nodded in unison.
There was no way they were leaving. Instead, they sat right next to Ye Liuyun.
-To be continued!
