Su Ya glanced at it and saw that Bai Xiao's name was displayed.

So Suya answered the phone.

"Sister Ya, you finally answered the phone?"

"What's wrong?"

"Sister Ya, something terrible has happened?"

Do you remember the outfits we wore at the school's centennial celebration?

"Yes. I remember."

"A message was just posted on Weibo today announcing the first prize winner of this year's 'Golden Scissors Award.' We saw that the winning design posted online is exactly the same as the Four Divine Beasts you designed back then."

When the winning entry was posted online, Bai Xiao and the others recognized it immediately, mainly because Su Ya's outfit had been so stunning to them.

"Okay, I understand. I'll handle it."

"Sister Ya, you need to hurry! That person is disgusting. He shamelessly claims online that it's his original work, something he painstakingly created over two years. Our whole class is criticizing him for plagiarism on his Weibo account."

"You don't need to worry about this, I'll handle it."

"Okay, Sister Ya."

After Bai Xiao hung up the phone, Lu Yichen asked in the class group, "Sister Ya, what do you say?"

"Sister Ya said that we don't need to worry about it, she will handle it."

"That person is disgusting. He deleted all the comments under our Weibo posts."

Another classmate in the group said.

"Everyone, please go about your business. Sister Ya will handle this matter."

After hanging up the phone, Su Ya remained silent for a while.

She doesn't care whether she wins an award or not, but her work isn't so easy to copy. If you dare to take it, you have to be prepared for the consequences.

Su Linxi noticed that Su Ya's expression wasn't good after she finished the phone call.

So she asked with concern, "Little sister, what's wrong? What happened?"

"Second brother, it's alright."

"Your expression was off right after you finished the call, and you said it was nothing. Do you think your second brother is stupid?"

Su Linxi was a little angry. This younger sister of hers always shouldered everything on her own and didn't treat them like family at all. Because she was angry, her voice inevitably became a little louder.

"It's really nothing, it's just that one of my works was plagiarized."

"Your work, what work of yours?"

"Some of the clothes I designed before?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qinchuan inexplicably recalled the centennial celebration of Kyoto No. 1 High School, and the clothes Su Ya's class wore that featured the Four Divine Beasts. He remembered how lifelike the Four Divine Beasts on those clothes seemed, almost real.

"Are those the clothes of the Four Divine Beasts?"

Ye Qinchuan asked.

Su Ya was surprised that he could guess it. She had completely forgotten that Ye Qinchuan had attended their school's centennial celebration and presented them with awards as a guest presenter.

"Do you need help? I'll find a lawyer right now?"

"No need, I can handle it myself. I'm not going to eat; I want to go back to the hotel now."

"good."

Ye Qinchuan called Ye Er to tell him that they were going back.

Ye Er dropped them off at the Panjiawan Antique Market and then drove away.

When they left the antique market, they saw Ye Er already waiting for them in his car at the entrance.

They got into the car and remained silent the entire way.

Su Ya was lost in thought, and so was Ye Qinchuan. Only Su Linxi felt like she was being kept in the dark. From her sister's conversation with Ye Qinchuan earlier, she sensed that her sister and Ye Qinchuan were hiding something from her, something he didn't know. This feeling was truly unpleasant.

There was some traffic on the way back; it was already around 6 p.m., which is peak traffic time.

The vehicle was traveling very slowly. What used to be a half-hour journey there took a full hour and forty minutes to return, more than twice as long.

By the time they arrived at the hotel, it was almost 8 p.m.

After saying goodbye to Ye Qinchuan, Su Ya went upstairs.

Su Linxi didn't leave; he wanted to warn Ye Qinchuan to stay away from his sister.

"Young Master Ye, would you do me the honor of having a drink with me?"

"Young Master Su, it is an honor."

Both of them spoke very politely.

This hotel has a full range of entertainment options, including restaurants, bars, cafes, and karaoke. The two of them went to the hotel bar and ordered two glasses of vodka.

"Young Master Ye, let's not beat around the bush. I hope you stay away from my sister."

"Why?"

“My older brother has already told me about your annulment of the engagement. So, in order to prevent my sister from getting hurt again, I hope you can stay away from her.”

Ye Qinchuan hadn't expected that Su Linxi's hostility today stemmed from his previous annulment of the engagement. But when he annuled the engagement, wasn't he unaware that Su Ya and her fiancée were the same person? If he had known they were one and the same, why would he have annuled the engagement? Now, he's really shot himself in the foot.

"No, Second Brother, it's all a misunderstanding. I didn't mean to..."

Ye Qinchuan quickly explained.

But before Ye Qinchuan could finish speaking, Su Linxi interrupted him.

"Stop calling me 'Second Brother,' I don't have a brother-in-law like you. As for whether it's a misunderstanding, I think what you said before will make it clear. But even if it is a misunderstanding, I still hope you can stay away from my sister. Although our Su family is not as powerful as your Ye family in Kyoto, we still have the ability to protect our sister."

After saying that, Su Linxi finished the vodka in front of her in one gulp.

Then he put down the cup and left.

He hoped that by making things clear today, Ye Qinchuan would understand his meaning and stay far away from his sister in the future, as he didn't want her to get hurt.

Seeing Su Linxi leave, Ye Qinchuan picked up the vodka in front of him and drank it all in one gulp before slamming the glass down on the table.

He hadn't expected that Su Linxi's purpose in contacting him was to warn him to stay far away from Su Ya.

But that's impossible. This is the first time in Ye Qinchuan's life that he has liked a girl so much. How could he give up so easily?

He will definitely win the approval of the entire Su family.

Realizing that Su Ya hadn't eaten dinner, Ye Qinchuan went to the hotel restaurant and ordered some of her favorite dishes. Since he had already fallen for Su Ya, he naturally knew everything about her tastes and preferences. This was no problem for Ye Qinchuan at all.

The hotel restaurant cooks very quickly; everything was ready in half an hour.

The hotel staff offered to take it up, but Ye Qinchuan refused, intending to take it up himself.

Ye Qinchuan pushed the food cart up the elevator and headed towards Su Ya's room.

Standing at the door, I knocked.

"Please come in."

When Ye Qinchuan entered, he saw Su Ya sitting in front of the computer.
