Chapter 38: Well, All the Heroines are Here:
Seeing Ye Liuyun's reaction, Qu Yingmeng simply smiled.
With so many people around, it wasn't the best place to be too affectionate with Ye Liuyun.
[Hasn't Long Tian arrived yet?]
[Could it be that he really can't make it?]
[He's only been messed with a few times!]
[The protagonist is really too weak now!]
Not seeing the protagonist show up made Ye Liuyun somewhat disinterested.
Without the protagonist, the plot wouldn't start, and he couldn't sign-in. He wondered if he had been too harsh on the protagonist.
Just then...
"Liuyun!"
A clear and lively voice called out.
In the next second, everything went dark as someone covered Ye Liuyun's eyes.
"Guess who!"
How could Ye Liuyun not recognize this familiar voice? He was just a bit puzzled.
"You Yu? Why are you here?"
"Correct!"
Yu Ying removed her hands, smiling as she leaned down and kissed Ye Liuyun's cheek.
"That's your reward!"
Among all the heroines, Yu Ying was the most lively and spirited.
"Um..."
It was a bit awkward, especially since Qu Yingmeng was sitting right next to him. However, seeing Qu Yingmeng still smiling, as if she wasn't surprised by this at all, made Ye Liuyun raise his eyebrows.
"Why are you here at this kind of place?"
[I hadn't heard Yu Ying would attend this auction!]
"I'm here with Sister Huaimeng!"
Yu Ying, who had already prepared an explanation, cheerfully pulled out Yao Huaimeng from behind her.
"Liu... Liuyun! Hello!"
Despite having learned some bad things online recently, the sight of Ye Liuyun made Yao Huaimeng forget everything. She could only greet him dumbly.
"Uh, hello, Miss Yao!"
[Yao Huaimeng is here too!]
[Tsk! This first heroine appears too rarely!]
[I almost forgot she was one of the heroines!]
It couldn't be helped; since their first meeting, Yao Huaimeng hadn't appeared again. It was hard not to forget!
These thoughts made Yao Huaimeng purse her lips.
"Hehe! Liuyun, our seats are right next to yours!"
With that, Yu Ying pulled Yao Huaimeng to the seats next to Ye Liuyun's.
A decorative carved screen separated them, barely blocking the view.
[Strange, I didn't hear that Yu Ying and Yao Huaimeng would appear in this part of the plot!]
How did these two show up?
Before Ye Liuyun could figure it out, another familiar voice called out!
"Long time no see, Mr. Ye!"
"Huh?"
[What’s going on? Tang Gulan is here too!]
Indeed, it was Tang Gulan greeting Ye Liuyun.
Seeing his surprised expression, Tang Gulan couldn't meet his gaze, feeling a bit guilty as she pulled Tang Ming forward.
"It's Xiao Ming! He just recovered and wanted to see the world, so I brought him here!"
"Uh!"
He looked bewildered when Tang Ming heard his name mentioned.
He wanted to come?
When did he say that?
Wasn't it his sister who brought him here?
But noticing Ye Liuyun's gaze and the increasing pressure of his sister's hand on his shoulder, Tang Ming understood what he needed to say.
"Hehe, yes, yes! I just recovered and wanted to come. It’s such a coincidence to see Mr. Ye here!"
"Is that so?" Ye Liuyun didn’t suspect anything.
[I didn’t expect the plot to become so absurd because of me!]
[Wow, all the heroines have gathered!]
Today's auction was going to be livelier than he had imagined!
"Since you just recovered, you should rest more."
"Yes, yes! I will listen to you, Mr. Ye!"
Tang Ming nodded seriously. He greatly respected Ye Liuyun, who had cured him. If Ye Liuyun could become his brother-in-law, that would be even better!
...
Tang Gulan then took Tang Ming to the private room on the other side of Ye Liuyun.
Wow, what a coincidence!
Ye Liuyun was stunned. He didn't notice Qu Yingmeng, who sat beside him with a faint smile.
Coincidence?
There were no such things as coincidences in this world!
His phone suddenly rang. It was a notification from a newly created chat group.
Yu Ying: Thank you, Sister Yingmeng, for telling us the seats!
Tang Gulan: Thank you!
Indeed, before this, Qu Yingmeng had gathered all the heroines who could hear Ye Liuyun's thoughts into a chat group.
Putting away her phone, she looked at Ye Liuyun, who was now relaxed and carefree.
She felt a bit depressed.
'Although I wish you could belong to me alone, if it's you, you'll definitely have a more brilliant future!'
Qu Yingmeng knew she couldn’t keep Ye Liuyun to herself. Moreover, there was already You Yu. A second or third wasn’t surprising.
...
"Sis! Did you know Mr. Ye was coming and came on purpose?"
Pulled over as a shield, Tang Ming grinned at Tang Gulan. His sister had never been interested in auctions before!
"Sis! There seem to be many girls who like Mr. Ye! You have to work hard!"
After regaining his consciousness, Tang Ming noticed a lot. For instance, the girls around Ye Liuyun clearly liked him!
In comparison, Tang Ming felt his sister's chances were low!
"Sigh! Sis, you're neither gentle nor good at dressing up. If it weren't for your natural beauty, I think you..."
Just as Tang Ming was about to continue.
"Slap!"
Tang Gulan smacked him on the head!
"..."
Instantly, it was quiet!
"Say another word, and I'll throw you out!"
What did he mean by not being gentle or good at dressing up?
Was she that bad?
She almost missed the old, foolishly cute brother from before!
-To be continued!
