Chapter 51: Sister, are you right?
The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.
Just as Ye Fei was wondering whether to change the subject, a magnetic and pleasant male voice rang out again: "Tomorrow, I will accompany you back to the Ye residence."
"Huh?" Ye Fei paused for a moment, then smiled again: "I can manage on my own."
"Is it not allowed?" Li Yuan took a step forward, staring intently at her with his deep, dark eyes, and the distance between them shrank as he did so.
A strange, cool fragrance emanating from him wafted towards us.
Ye Fei felt his breathing suddenly become unsteady. His eyes seemed to be filled with endless magic. Looking into his eyes for too long gave one the illusion that one's soul was being sucked in.
This distance is too dangerous.
Ye Fei couldn't help but take a step back, but Li Yuan raised his hand and grabbed her arm.
He didn't miss the fleeting awkwardness on her face, and his thin lips curved into an elegant smile.
My mood improved at that moment.
Ye Fei couldn't pull her hand back, and couldn't help but sigh: "Let go of me first."
"No." Li Yuan exerted a little force, his slender fingers contracting. Ye Fei raised an eyebrow, about to speak, but then heard him say again, "Didn't you say today that I was your little brother?"
"Accompanying my sister to the places she wants to go is what I should do... Sister, don't you agree?"
The boy narrowed his long, narrow eyes and mischievously dragged out the last syllable.
The word "sister" sent a shiver down Ye Fei's spine, as if a soft feather had brushed against her heart.
The usually aloof boy suddenly spoke to her in such a coquettish tone—this was just...too exciting!
Ye Fei instinctively knew she couldn't let herself sink any further, so she immediately snapped back to reality: "Of course you can come with me, I'll agree to anything you say... so please let go first, okay?"
Having heard what he wanted to hear, Li Yuan reverted to his usual cold and aloof demeanor and released his hand: "See you tomorrow."
The boy turned and left.
It was as if what had just happened was nothing more than an illusion.
Only after that tall figure disappeared from sight did Ye Fei raise her hand to touch her slightly flushed cheeks.
She took a deep breath, clenched her fists, and her eyes were filled with determination: "Men will only slow down my cultivation! Calm down, stay calm..."
...
morning.
Ye Fei practiced the Phantom Step in the courtyard for an hour and a half.
She practices ancient martial arts at a fixed time every day, and her progress has caught up. Her body is now in perfect harmony with the Phantom Step.
After practice, Ye Fei took a relaxing bath, changed into a striking red robe, and then walked out of the courtyard.
Li Yuan stood on the path outside the dormitory and saw Ye Fei dressed in red. A fleeting glint flashed in his eyes.
She usually has a lazy demeanor.
But today, she is so radiant and dazzling.
“Let’s go to Guiyuan City to get something to eat, and then we’ll go back to the Ye residence.” Ye Fei flashed Li Yuan a bright smile.
Li Yuan lowered his eyes and said calmly, "Okay."
After breakfast, the two went directly to the Ye residence.
At this moment, the Ye Mansion was extremely noisy, with voices and laughter faintly emanating from the halls.
Ye Jingyao sat in the main seat, while Su Haochen sat in the guest seat. Su Haochen was dressed in a white robe, elegant and refined, with a smile on his lips. Beside him was Su Hong, the head of the Su family.
Ye Jingyao's other children and wives were also present.
Ye Ning was dressed in a gorgeous light purple embroidered lotus dress, her face full of shyness.
Watching the exchange of glances between Su Haochen and Ye Ning, Ye Jingyao smiled at Su Hong and said, "Patriarch Su, today is an auspicious day for our Ye and Su families to unite in marriage and become engaged. From now on..."
"The manor is quite lively; could it be that there is some joyous occasion?"
A clear, melodious voice rang out from outside the hall. Ye Ning, who was sitting in her seat, stiffened slightly and abruptly looked up—
