Looking at the beauty lying peacefully in his arms and taking a nap, with tears still on her face, Ye Feng was filled with thoughts.
He thought he was not ugly, with sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, and a strong profile, and he had no shortage of female suitors around him.
However, he would never think that there would be a girl who would be willing to cling to him as soon as she saw him, and seeing Ye Jinyan's sad expression, he had an indescribable feeling...
"It's really strange. Things seem to be getting more and more confusing."
What happened to him was strange and inexplicable. He always felt like there was a fog surrounding him, making it difficult for him to see clearly.
The strange Ye family, the strange Ye father and daughter...
"Young Master, the master has instructed that the guests will be arriving soon and that you and the young lady should prepare."
After an unknown amount of time, a maid came over and spoke softly.
Ye Feng woke up from his thoughts. He thought for a long time and found that he was still confused. He only knew that this series of events definitely did not happen by chance.
He lowered his head to look at the girl in his arms, and Ye Jinyan's beautiful eyes were also looking at him with a smile.
"Get up, your dad told us to get ready."
"don't want"
Ye Jinyan refused to let go of his hand no matter what and buried her head in his arms.
"Young Master, let me do it!"
The maid walked in from the side and whispered.
"Okay."
The maid lowered her head and whispered something in Ye Jinyan's ear. Hearing that, she reluctantly released her arms that were around Ye Feng's waist.
He stood up and slowly left the room, looking back every few steps, and finally decided to leave.
?????
So, just say that, without even telling him the reason?
"What did you tell her?"
"This is what the master told me to convey. I can't say it."
The maid lowered her head, waiting for punishment and scolding like a slave in ancient times who disobeyed the orders of a noble.
"Don't ask anymore. Take me to prepare and teach me if there is anything I need to pay attention to at this banquet."
Seeing the maid in such a state, Ye Feng stopped asking questions. Since it was Ye Nanxing's order, he really couldn't make things difficult for the maid.
…
"Oh my god, isn't this a welcome party? Why do we need to wear masks?"
Ye Feng looked at the mask handed to him by the maid with a puzzled look on his face.
"Although this is a welcome party for you, Young Master, it is also a party for the younger generation of the major aristocratic families in Kyoto. The rule of wearing a mask is to put one's family background aside and gain the respect of one's peers through one's own charm."
"Is this necessary?"
"Of course it's necessary! How dare those with less privileged backgrounds argue with or assert themselves against the younger generation? After all, even the most powerful families can't guarantee that their descendants won't be bullies."
"Everyone's wearing masks. Who are they showing off to?"
The maid didn't dare say anything more and just pointed to the sky.
"How can a welcome party be so exaggerated?!"
Ye Feng took a deep breath. Is this the wealthy family in Kyoto? A small welcome banquet could actually attract the attention of the people above.
No, perhaps those people above also came from these aristocratic families, or they have very close relationships with them!
"How can we recognize the people above when they are all wearing masks?"
Ye Feng frowned, somewhat puzzled.
"Young Master, the shapes of these masks are linked to personal information. Each person's mask is different, and they judge who it is based on the relationship between the mask and the person."
The maid patiently explained to Ye Feng, but the more he understood, the more headache he got.
Ye Nanxing, you are such a jerk. You said you were hosting a welcome dinner for me, but it turned out to be a party to torture me!
Ye Feng had already cursed Ye Nanxing, that old man, thousands of times in his heart. What a crap! He had simply deceived his feelings. He had really naively thought that it was just a welcome party for him...
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He picked up the mask and walked straight to Ye Nanxing's study. Wasn't this just teasing him? It was a game between wealthy families, and you let a country bumpkin from the countryside participate. Was there something seriously wrong with him?
Although Ye Feng really wanted to scold Ye Nanxing, the old man, but when he saw Ye Nanxing, he was like an eggplant hit by frost.
"Wasn't it supposed to be a welcome party? How did it turn into a party for showing off?"
The voice was not loud, and there was no anger or scolding as one might imagine. The anger he had shown before was not dissatisfaction with the arrangement, but a cover-up for his panic about the situation.
A person who comes from a lower-class family would be nervous when attending an upper-class banquet for the first time, and then he is told that he needs to perform in front of the people above him... the fear almost takes over his entire heart!
"Are you worried that you won't be able to show up?"
Ye Nanxing's gaze seemed to penetrate the fig leaf of his disguise and directly point out the essence of his panic.
Ye Feng knew he could no longer hide it, so he answered frankly:
"Yes, I know myself well. Even if the ugly duckling wears a swan's coat, he is still an ugly duckling at heart."
"Maybe the ugly duckling was actually a swan?"
"Life is not a fairy tale, and the ugly duckling will only be an ugly duckling"
“You see things clearly.”
Ye Nanxing smiled bitterly. Ye Feng looked like he was about to quit.
Ye Nanxing looked at Ye Feng carefully. Just one glance and his eyes were filled with rage. In order to prevent Ye Feng from noticing anything, he suppressed his anger.
"Ye Feng, you are the Young Master of the Ye Family! No one in this world dares to look down on the Young Master of the Ye Family. No one dares to question your identity, and no one dares to say anything bad about you!"
