step by step

Chapter 195
Ye Zhaoyan's plum vase had eight more plum blossoms in an instant. Several young masters could only look at it with regret because they had no more plums to throw in.

Zhuo Yibai looked at the plum blossom in his hand, but didn't move.

The plum blossoms in his and Zhuo Mingxuan's hands are all three complete, after the whole competition, no flowers were given.

The reason why Zhuo Mingxuan didn't throw flowers was due to his calculations, which was completely different from Zhuo Yibai's reason.

Just when Ye Zhaoyan was about to step down, an attendant rushed over from a distance, opened the box in his hand, and revealed three pearl plums, and came forward to offer a gift: "Miss Ye, this is what Mr. Jiang Yehan of the Jiang family ordered me to send on your behalf." ! Hope you accept it!"

Ye Zhaoyan was taken aback for a moment, the smile on his face froze, and he didn't reach out to take it.

"Jiang Yehan?" Everyone was taken aback when they heard the name, that genius boy?

This person has not yet come to view the art, but he did not forget to throw flowers to Miss Ye family, what is the relationship between the two?

"Miss Ye, Mr. Jiang is in poor health and it is not convenient to be here. Please tell me to throw flowers to Miss Ye!" the attendant said respectfully again.

This sentence fell into the ears of those present, and immediately caused a burst of discussion.

The frost on Ye Zhaoyan's face deepened a little. What Jiang Yehan did was tantamount to binding the two of them into an ambiguous relationship, which aroused criticism.

"Mr. Jiang hasn't been there to watch the art, so how do you know who to vote for? It would be unfair to do so!" Ye Zhaoyan refused without hesitation.

The attendant was stunned for a moment, his face became embarrassed, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

Mo Xueyuan raised her eyebrows slightly. She had heard about Jiang Yehan. Although he was well-known, he was a descendant of the Jiang family with a poor background. For a top-notch noble girl like her, she was not a good match.

She didn't know why Jiang Yehan did such a thing, could it be to climb up to the Ye family?
In my impression, this boy is not such a superficial person.

But she felt that this was an opportunity she could take advantage of.

Thinking of this, Mo Xueyuan stood up, "Since Mr. Jiang insists on seeing him off, it is enough to prove his intentions, so why not Sister Ye?"

She smiled like a flower, and looked understanding.

"Yes, Miss Ye, it would be a pity to miss such a good intention! Just accept it!" Liu Ying'er also echoed.

Ye Zhaoyan frowned, not knowing whether the two noble girls' support was intentional or unintentional.

She knew very well that if she accepted Jiang Yehan's offer, it would mean admitting the ambiguous relationship between the two of them.

This is definitely not good for her.

It's just that if she fights with these two people in public, she will easily be caught and labeled as a bad relationship and a wild and uninhibited daughter of the general.

She pondered for a moment, and just as she was thinking about how to refuse, Mo Xueyuan had already walked over, took the brocade box first, and smiled at Ye Zhaoyan: "Since Sister Ye is embarrassed, I will accept it for you. It’s been a great story!”

After saying this, she opened the brocade box and was about to put the pearl plum into Ye Zhaoyan's plum vase.

Seeing her enthusiastic appearance, everyone couldn't help but sigh that the first daughter of the Mo family is generous and enthusiastic, she always considers others, and she doesn't have the arrogance of a girl from heaven at all.

Only a few people felt a little weird, this Mo Xueyuan is not like the kind of person who is willing to let go of her figure casually!
Ye Zhaoyan frowned, resisting the urge to slap her hand away.

Just when Mo Xueyuan was throwing plums happily while listening to the praise in her ears, a gust of wind blew over and overturned her brocade box, and the three pearl plums in the brocade box were blown away and all rolled down to the ground superior.

A pair of legs wearing white boots stepped forward, just "inadvertently" stepped on the pearl plum, crushing it.

All this happened so fast that everyone hadn't reacted yet.

Mo Xueyuan was furious in her heart, and was about to get angry when she looked up and saw a handsome face.

She couldn't help being taken aback.

Zhuo Yibai wore a white robe Shengxue, with a handsome face and an unrivaled elegance, his black hair was tied high behind his head, revealing a smooth forehead, and a pair of star-like eyes that were extremely clear.

It's just that his face is expressionless, his eyes are calm, and he exudes an aura of alienation that rejects people thousands of miles away, which makes people feel intimidated.

For a moment, Mo Xueyuan couldn't help staring in awe, her eyes stayed on him, and she couldn't move her eyes away.

Such a refined young man, there is no one else but him.

Zhuo Yibai bent down to pick up the broken flowers on the ground: "I'm really sorry, I accidentally stepped on them. Fortunately, the flowers have no owner, and there is not much sincerity, so it's not a pity."

He said things that were against his will.

Seeing this, Ye Zhaoyan's heart moved, and just as he was about to respond to him, he heard Mo Xueyuan beside him frowned and said distressedly: "Master Zhuo trampled more than just pearl plums, this is what Mr. Jiang wants for younger sister Ye! Wouldn't trampling on it hurt Younger Sister Ye's heart? I've failed Mr. Jiang's intentions?"

As Mo Xueyuan said, the drooping eyelashes covered the malicious look in her eyes, this lowly girl, don't want to have a relationship with Zhuo Yibai!
Ye Zhaoyan was stunned for a moment, and his heart skipped a beat. Mo Xueyuan's words were obviously intended to match her and Jiang Yehan!

There is no hatred between them at all, why did she do this?

Zhuo Yibai also noticed the abnormality, and his indifferent eyes fell on Mo Xueyuan's face, "Ms. Mo disregarded Miss Ye's wishes, and made rash speculations without asking. I am sure that the two of you are involved. Is there some misunderstanding?"

There was inquiry in his eyes, as if he wanted to see through her.

Being watched by his gaze, Mo Xueyuan's heart skipped a beat, a blush appeared on her cheeks, her eyes dodged, and she lowered her head in shame.

As a result, the eyes of everyone looking at her suddenly changed, and Mo Xueyuan may have guessed all this on her own.

Mo Xueyuan was a little regretful, she knew she shouldn't be so reckless, but now she has lost face and made people look down on her!

Ye Zhaoyan breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhuo Yibai restrained his expression and turned to Ye Zhaoyan. Seeing her quietly exhaling, a warm smile could not help but appear on the corner of her mouth, "Since I crushed three pearl plums, I will pay three to Miss Ye to express my apology. how?"

His voice was gentle, just like others, as if he was sincerely apologizing.

But these words fell into Mo Xueyuan's ears with a different meaning.

"Thank you." Ye Zhaoyan thanked generously.

Mo Xueyuan dared not speak out, forced a smile and glanced at Ye Zhaoyan, but cursed secretly in her heart, it's really shameless, you can afford the flowers of Zhuo Wang's son-in-law!

Seeing Ye Zhaoyan being treated like this, everyone felt a little bit embarrassed for a while, and they all speculated about the relationship between Ye Zhaoyan and Young Master Zhuo.

Seeing this, Zhuo Mingxuan in the seat frowned slightly.

The competition continued quickly, and the noble lady who appeared next performed well, but everyone had seen Ye Zhaoyan's stunning sword dance, and they were not very interested.

Until the last tall woman wearing a veil appeared on the stage, her beautiful eyes sparkled, and her beauty was suffocating.
