After being attacked by the rich young ladies with hatchets, I chose to enter "sage mode".

Murong Liyue has always been proactive, but she occasionally wants Bai Yu to take the initiative. Women, after all, are subconsciously creatures who want to be coaxed.

As a result, Bai Yu was completely uncooperative. He was only focused on his plan and getting rid of Murong Liyue. Asking him to coax her was like casting pearls before swine.

You might ask Bai Yu if she didn't realize that Murong Liyue wanted to go on a date?

That was a joke. How could he not have seen that? But not only was the date not part of his plans, he also had no intention of going on a date with Murong Liyue.

"Hey? Murong Liyue, what a coincidence, what are you doing here in the central square?"

A voice that was both familiar and unfamiliar rang out beside Murong Liyue, prompting her to look toward the source of the sound.

When she saw that the person who called her was Ye Xingyan, she didn't stop at all and continued walking forward.

Seeing Murong Liyue's cold gaze and subsequent indifference, Ye Xingyan was already used to it, but he couldn't afford to be negligent now.

Having finally gotten Murong Liyue out, and then having this chance encounter, how could I possibly let her just leave like that?

"Murong Liyue, can you stop and give me a minute? Just one minute."

Ye Xingyan didn't know much about Murong Liyue's personality. Although he had met her, she rarely spoke, and sometimes they wouldn't exchange a single word.

It wasn't that she didn't want to talk, but rather that Murong Liyue, this icy beauty, simply wasn't very talkative.

He knew very well that if he directly asked Murong Liyue to stop, she would definitely ignore him. He could only make her think that he had something to do and needed to take up a minute of her time in order to have her stay.

Ye Xingyan had indeed achieved his goal, and Murong Liyue stopped moving forward and turned to look at him.

"One minute".

The cold words didn't bother Ye Xingyan; on the contrary, they made him smile.

Looking at Murong Liyue, whose outfit today was noticeably more eye-catching than usual, Ye Xingyan subconsciously praised her.

"You look beautiful today. Are you going to a banquet or do you have something to do?"

Ye Xingyan's words only stirred up Murong Liyue's unhappiness at not being able to go on a date.

"Don't waste time if there's nothing wrong."

After coldly saying these words, Murong Liyue turned and left, showing no respect to Ye Xing whatsoever.

Ye Xingyan also knew that he had to be direct, otherwise he would have no chance.

“I have something to do. I bought you a bouquet of roses. I know you’re free today. You know I really like you. I hope you can give me another chance, even if it’s the last one.”

Ye Xingyan spoke these words with utmost sincerity, and he even felt that he was moved by them.

Murong Liyue paused in her steps after hearing this, then turned around and came back.

Looking at Murong Liyue walking towards him, Ye Xingyan suddenly felt expectant.

Although there was no visible emotion on Murong Liyue's icy and aloof face, it must have been the prelude to her approaching him.

Unfortunately, Ye Xingyan's expectations and fantasies were shattered in the next moment.

Because Murong Liyue was indeed walking towards him, but she was carrying a recording pen.

He didn't say a word, he just played a recording.

"Wife"

"Yes, honey."

The recording contained only five words, but those five words struck Ye Xingyan as if he had been struck by lightning.

Wife? Husband?

Two incredibly intimate terms of address lingered in his mind, like a nightmare.

The voice calling for his wife sounded familiar, and the voice answering was even more familiar—it was Murong Liyue's voice. No matter what, he would never mistake it.

"What...what is this?"

Although he already had a general idea of ​​what it meant, Ye Xingyan still asked the question with a glimmer of hope.

When Murong Liyue saw Ye Xingyan, who was still persistent, she didn't keep him in suspense or care about anything else. If she didn't like him, there was no need to drag it out, lest Bai Yu see it and be unhappy.

"What you hear is the answer you're looking for."

It was still a cold and brief sentence, but it made Ye Xingyan's expression start to become unnatural.

This was the second time he had been dumped by Murong Liyue. Compared to the first time, Ye Xingyan felt that he still had a chance the first time, at least Murong Liyue didn't have a boyfriend.

But this time? The voice calling her "wife" sounded more and more familiar, and Murong Liyue even answered, acknowledging the other person, which confirmed their relationship.

Do you think Murong Liyue wouldn't lie to him? After all, it's too easy to fake things in this era. Not to mention recordings, even videos can be faked.

But given Murong Liyue's personality and temperament, would she need to fake it? Absolutely not.

This is Ye Xingyan's idea, which is indeed in line with the thinking of normal people, but the problem is that Murong Liyue's recording is really... cut off the beginning and end, so it is not a big problem to say that it is a fake.

"I...I understand, but can you tell me who the other person is?"

Ye Xingyan gave up. This time he really wanted to give up, but he wanted to die knowing why. The voice sounded familiar, which made him very curious about who it was.

"You've met him once."

After saying that, Murong Liyue turned and left.

Having met him once, those words were like a piercing through a thin layer of paper, instantly making Ye Xingyan realize why the voice sounded so familiar.

Damn it, she'd only met him once before. Didn't Murong Liyue know that the person she'd met once before was Bai Yu, who had helped her?

The more Ye Xingyan thought about it, the more certain he became that it was Bai Yu's voice.

Why would he help me when he's dating Murong Liyue? Could it be... that he wants to kill me and destroy my spirit?

Thinking of this, Ye Xingyan felt a surge of anger and rage.

He treated him like a brother, but the man wanted to destroy his spirit. What a damned fellow! Chapter 326: It Ended Before It Even Began.

The more Ye Xingyan thought about it, the more he felt that Bai Yu was doing it on purpose, playing the "killing someone by destroying their spirit" game.

Murong Liyue is so beautiful and sexy, and she arouses men's desire to conquer her, but Bai Yu says he doesn't like her.

It turns out I've been deceiving myself all along. Killing someone by destroying their spirit is a really good tactic. I have to admit that Bai Yu succeeded. For a moment, I did feel utterly hopeless.

However, Ye Xingyan could not tolerate such a thing, nor could he possibly tolerate it. Even if it completely angered Murong Liyue, he would still take revenge on Bai Yu.

"Bai Yu, it's actually that guy Bai Yu. Heh, he said he'd help me arrange to meet you today, but it turns out he was just trying to mess with me. I never expected him to be so cunning. Murong Liyue, you'd better be careful in the future, or you'll end up being sold out and counting money for him."

After saying that, Ye Xingyan turned and left angrily.

But Murong Liyue sensed something different in his words.

Bai Yu is going to help Ye Xingyan? She even said today that she would help him arrange to meet up with her.

These two important pieces of information are connected to Bai Yu's previous performance.

Normally, Bai Yu is a guy who wouldn't accept money from her, showing great integrity and unlike most guys. He also refuses to submit to her.

But today, strangely, he asked to borrow money. He could have just said it casually, but he insisted on meeting up.

She didn't ask for money right away when they met, but only after they had breakfast. The more Murong Liyue thought about it, the clearer her mind became.

She originally played the recording only to make Ye Xingyan give up completely, and had no other intention.

But who knew that this inexplicable event would break the bond between Bai Yu and Ye Xingyan?

"Wait a moment."

Hearing Murong Liyue suddenly call out to him, Ye Xingyan, though his heart was already ice-cold, still couldn't help but stop in his tracks.

Turning around, I looked at that stunning face, so cool yet alluring. It was so tempting, so incredibly tempting, especially her outfit and figure. It was so eye-catching that I wanted to reach out and explore. But now, I could only dream about it and miss my chance.

"Is there a problem?"

Although his gaze was fixed on Murong Liyue, Ye Xingyan still subconsciously asked the question.

"Tell me in detail what Bai Yu and you talked about."

Standing still, Murong Liyue spoke in a domineering manner to everyone she met.

However, at this time, Ye Xingyan hated Bai Yu to the core, so how could he possibly keep his secret?

Without much hesitation, she even thought about exposing Bai Yu's hypocritical facade and letting Murong Liyue know that this person's character was truly terrible.

He's already dating Murong Liyue, yet he insists he's not, offering to help her and coming up with so many ideas and suggestions. He's so hypocritical.

Ye Xingyan showed the chat history directly to Murong Liyue, and he was already looking forward to the scene of Murong Liyue kicking Bai Yu away, and Bai Yu kneeling and crying, trying to keep her but to no avail.

After Murong Liyue read through all of Bai Yu and Ye Xingyan's chat history over the past two days, she was so angry that she gritted her teeth. If the phone hadn't belonged to Ye Xingyan, she would have thrown it away.

Bai Yu actually wanted to arrange a date for someone else. How could he do that?

After returning the phone to Ye Xingyan, Murong Liyue felt very upset and uncomfortable. Without saying another word, she turned and left the central square.

This scene disappointed Ye Xingyan. He thought that Murong Liyue would definitely be very angry, or say a few words against Bai Yu.

So he just left without saying a word?

Looking at that slender back and the swaying blue hair, Ye Xingyan did like Murong Liyue, but he was mostly lustful. Love was not a word he could use, since he didn't understand Murong Liyue at all, so how could he talk about love?

"Bai Yu, I'll definitely kill you next time I see you. You just wait, you dare to mess with me, you'll pay the price."

After uttering a vicious curse, Ye Xingyan turned and left.

The original plan was completely ruined before it even began.

Bai Yu is unaware that she has been betrayed and misunderstood by some strange twist of fate.

Sitting in the car on the way back to school, Bai Yu accepted Murong Liyue's transfer, but he said he only wanted five hundred, so he had to return one thousand five hundred.

As for why we still need to charge 500, that's obvious. We already said we'd borrow 500. If we returned it all, wouldn't that be setting a trap for ourselves?

But just as he returned the 1,500 yuan, Murong Liyue sent him an emoji.

It was a blood-stained knife.

Seeing this, Bai Yu had no idea what Murong Liyue meant. Was she angry because he had returned the money? Or did she mean something else?

"What's wrong, boss?"

Asking questions when you don't understand is a good quality.

"fine."
