The villainous second male lead at the beginning? No! He's the white moonlight!

Looking at Bai Yu's face, which was both alluring and somewhat innocently foolish, Ye Linyuan took a deep breath and slowly spoke.

"Sister Yu, do you believe me?"

Bai Yu nodded without hesitation.

"Of course, I have always believed in Yuan-di. Even if Yuan-di says that fire is cold, I will still believe him."

"That's good. Then, Sister Yu, just watch what I'm going to do next."

Just after giving Bai Yu his instructions, Ye Linyuan saw a figure rushing over. A slight smile appeared on his lips, clearly indicating that he was in a good mood.

As the saying goes, speak of the devil and he shall appear; the main character of this storyline for Sister Yu has arrived so quickly!

But then again, this Yan Fan actually looks somewhat like me?

It's not about appearance, but about behavior, even clothing and hairstyle. They all resemble me to some extent, but the deliberate style is very strong, making it seem as if they are intentionally imitating me.

That's interesting! This guy seems really funny!

Ye Linyuan couldn't help but look Yan Fan up and down, a playful smile appearing on his lips.

"You surnamed Ye! Who do you think you are? How dare you bully my brother Yan Fan like this?!"

Ye Linyuan didn't actually know who the protagonist of Bai Yu's story was; he had only seen the other person's appearance. He had originally thought he would need to investigate further to find out the other person's identity, but now he didn't need to at all.

While Yan Fan's name might not be as universally known as his own in Haicheng's high society circles, he was certainly quite famous.

The third young master of the Yan family, one of the eight great families in Haicheng, is handsome, has an outstanding temperament, and is exceptionally talented. At first glance, one can tell that his future is destined to be extraordinary. Under normal circumstances, someone like him would definitely be groomed as the family heir. However, Yan Fan is not the heir of the Yan family, and is even considered a marginalized figure within the family.

The reason is actually quite ridiculous. He and I are both main characters in the story of the true and false young masters. However, I am the false young master in the story of the true and false young masters, and I am a false young master who is overly pampered. He is the true young master in the story of the true and false young masters, and he is a true young master who is ignored or even overly hated!

Even when Yan Fan returned to the Yan family, the Yan family held an adoption banquet in the name of adopting him as their son, and I attended it at the time.

At first, no one knew that he was the real young master of the Yan family, while the current eldest young master of the Yan family was the fake young master. However, Yan Fan and Yan Ling, the head of the Yan family, looked more and more alike, while the eldest young master Yan Haochen did not look like Yan Ling at all. So someone secretly took the hair of Yan Fan, Yan Ling and Yan Haochen to do a paternity test.

The result was that the juicy gossip spread throughout Haicheng, and the entire Yan family lost face and became a laughing stock.

So when the Ye family held the adoption banquet for An Wangshu, they were actually quite conflicted, fearing they would follow in the footsteps of the Yan family.

Even at the very beginning, the Ye family wanted to pretend they were truly blind and that An Wangshu didn't exist.

Ultimately, however, it was the bond of blood that made Old Master Ye feel he couldn't leave An Wangshu to fend for herself, so he chose to adopt her.

However, due to subsequent events, the adoption banquet was not held, and An Wangshu is still just a guest in the Ye family, not even registered in the family genealogy.

As he thought about it, Ye Linyuan felt even more guilty towards An Wangshu. If he hadn't just left a letter and run away, An Wangshu wouldn't have suffered in the Ye family for four years.

If she hadn't run away back then, even if the Ye family still didn't approve of An Wangshu, they would at most have given her the cold shoulder and would definitely not have deprived her of food, clothing, and daily necessities. After all, for the Ye family, supporting one more person wouldn't cost much. Instead, it wouldn't be like now, where everyone in the Ye family, including the maids, beats and scolds her at the drop of a hat.

Thinking of this, a trace of pity involuntarily appeared in Ye Linyuan's eyes.

"Ye Linyuan, what kind of look is that?!"

Yan Fan was furious; he felt extremely angry at Ye Linyuan's gaze.

That look in his eyes, which was as high and mighty as a god, made him feel like he was just a clown in front of Ye Linyuan!

"I'm sorry, Young Master Yan, my gaze has always been like this. If you don't believe me, you can ask Sister Yu."

Ye Linyuan chuckled and gently tightened his right arm around Bai Yu's waist. Bai Yu instantly understood and smiled sweetly.

"That's right, that's right. Yuan's eyes have always been like that, he looks at everyone like that. It's just that different kinds of people will have different feelings. But in our eyes, Yuan's eyes are cold and affectionate, and it's so captivating that people can't help but be drawn into them."

After a pause, Bai Yu rolled her eyes at Yan Fan.

"Someone as insecure as you would naturally feel that Yuan-di's gaze is condescending."

Yan Fan was furious, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and couldn't help but roar loudly.

"Hey Bai, what are you talking about? Me, feeling inferior? Which eye of yours saw me feeling inferior? I, Yan Fan, the second young master of the Yan family, was born into nobility. Moreover, in just three years, I have built a company worth 10 billion, surpassing most of my peers in ability. Why would I feel inferior? How could I possibly feel inferior!"

Bai Yu's words made Yan Fan very angry, but he knew very well that he was actually feeling inferior.

He had been deeply attracted to Ye Linyuan ever since he first met him at the adoption banquet.

The confidence emanating from her every move, the innate aloofness and nobility that permeated her very being, and the warm, sun-like smile that radiated from her naturally revealed her made Yan Fan dare not approach her at all, and she could only watch from afar.

From that day on, he tried to find out about Ye Linyuan through various channels. He learned what Ye Linyuan learned, ate what Ye Linyuan ate, and even went to the places Ye Linyuan had been. He tried his best to learn and imitate Ye Linyuan, and tried his best to become as dazzling as Ye Linyuan!

He deliberately studied Ye Linyuan, and even in the years Ye Linyuan was away, he relied on his handsome appearance and deliberately imitated Ye Linyuan's behavior to thrive in Haicheng. In fact, in the eyes of many rich young ladies, he was the second Ye Linyuan in Haicheng!

If he weren't still a member of the Yan family, even though he was just an unfavored young master, there would probably be quite a few wealthy young ladies who would want to take him as a sugar daddy!

But now, when he saw Ye Linyuan again after four years, that feeling of inferiority once again filled his heart.

That's the inferiority complex of counterfeit goods when they see the genuine product!

So when Bai Yu said that, he was really angry, so angry that he couldn't wait to prove that he was no worse than Ye Linyuan!
