step by step

Chapter 86
Sure enough, after hearing this sentence, Zhuo Yibai looked at her with a complicated expression, and didn't speak for a while.

Ye Zhaoyan's image of heroically saving him that night appeared in his mind.

He remembered her expression at that time, calm and steady, neither humble nor overbearing.

Such a woman has such guts to draw her sword at the critical moment without thinking of herself.

Ye Zhaoyan is indeed the most powerful woman he has ever seen.

He suddenly remembered that the masked men were chasing after him one after another, but they didn't kill him, as if they wanted to capture Ye Zhaoyan alive.

Zhuo Yibai's eyes became more and more complicated, and there were waves of waves in his heart.

Is Ye Zhaoyan in trouble now?

If not, then why did she say these meaningful words?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Ye Zhaoyan more.

Xue Zhiyan stared closely at the expressions of the two of them, and doubts arose in her heart.

What are they talking about?
Xue Youling was a little disdainful, and looked at Ye Zhaoyan with more and more contempt. She was flirting with a foreigner when she was about to get married, which was really a drop in price.

Ye Zhaoyan looked at Zhuo Yibai whose face was cloudy and uncertain, and said softly: "Painter Bai, don't you remember?"

"How could it be?" Zhuo Yibai restrained his mind and shook his head.

He just didn't understand why Ye Zhaoyan was in such a predicament as the eldest lady of the Ye family.

"I think I should understand Miss Ye's meaning." Zhuo Yibai said slowly, "What I just don't understand is why Miss Ye trusts me so much?"

He fixed his eyes on Ye Zhaoyan, hoping to get her answer.

Wei Yu looked at her young master's serious appearance, and couldn't help curling her lips.

Isn't it because of your harmless face, young master, that you have deceived countless people!

Ye Zhaoyan nodded slightly, parted his red lips lightly, and said, "After all, you and I have a lifelong friendship."

No matter what, they are comrades-in-arms who share life and death, and share weal and woe.

She trusts her instincts!

Hearing this, Zhuo Yibai was stunned for a moment, then he smiled in relief, the laughter was bright and full of sunshine, as if he was in a good mood.

"Haha. What a life-threatening friendship!"

He thought he understood.

This woman is smarter and braver than he imagined.

Ye Zhaoyan looked at the young man in front of him, his eyes sparkled, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly.

The boy's response made her very satisfied, and it was not in vain to waste her so much trouble.

Her eyes sparkle like jewels.

People can't help but pay attention to her.

The ambiguous words of the two made the Xue sisters feel even more suspicious, and they couldn't help but glance at each other, both full of uneasiness.

Ye Zhaoyan actually has such a relationship with this painter, the two seem to have a strong friendship, and even Painter Bai knew that Ye Zhaoyan was getting married, so he didn't leave?

Is there something tricky here?
Thinking of this, the eyes of the two sisters showed unwillingness. It seemed that they had to think of other ways.

"Sister Zhaoyan, what are you talking about!" Xue Youling asked tentatively to break the weird atmosphere.

Nothing, just met old people, a lot of emotion. "Ye Zhaoyan said with a smile, as if he had no intention of explaining.

Her ambiguous attitude made the Xue sisters even more confused.

Did they really have some secrets to keep from them?

Xue Zhiyan always felt that Ye Zhaoyan was lying.

"Sister Zhaoyan, you should tell us what is meant by fateful friendship!" Xue Youling decided to break the casserole and ask the end.

Ye Zhaoyan smiled slightly, and said: "There is a little secret between me and Master Bai, so it is inconvenient to explain it to outsiders."

The smile on Xue Youling's face froze for a moment.

outsider? !
They could all be regarded as her relatives, yet Ye Zhaoyan even classified them as outsiders.

She gritted her teeth and glared at Ye Zhaoyan.

Xue Zhiyan suppressed the displeasure in her heart, and said softly, "Sister Zhaoyan, that's out of line, there's no use for us sisters to be born like this."

But Ye Zhaoyan acted as if he didn't see it, and automatically ignored the expressions of the two exploring.

Seeing Ye Zhaoyan treat her so indifferently, Xue Zhi was so angry that she almost vomited blood, but she didn't dare to attack in public, so she had to endure it, looked at Zhuo Yibai calmly, and said, "Painter Bai, what is the relationship between you and sister Zhaoyan?" What happened?"

She always felt that what the two said just now had a deep meaning.

Her intuition has always been accurate, and Ye Zhaoyan is definitely not the kind of person who likes to talk nonsense.

There must be something strange about this.

"It's better for Ms. Xue not to inquire about the matter below." Zhuo Yibai said flatly, "After all, as you said, the Ye Mansion has strict rules, and women in the boudoir should not contact outside men."

There was always a warm smile on the corner of his mouth.

Xue Zhiyan was so choked that she couldn't speak, her cheeks flushed, and she wished she could dig a hole to get in.

This painter was not only cold to him, but also blocked her with her words, telling her not to inquire about the outsider in the future, so as not to break the rules.

It sounded like a blatant insult to her.

Her eyes were frighteningly pale, but she still kept a smile on her face and said, "Master Bai really knows how to joke."

When Ye Zhaoyan heard his protective words, a smile appeared in her eyes, she really didn't expect that Zhuo Yibai would help her vent her anger.

After all, the young man in front of him looked so innocent and harmless, he didn't show any scheming at all, and he didn't seem like someone who could deal with Xue Zhiyan.

She couldn't help but look at Xue Zhiyan who was at the side.

Xue Zhiyan's eyes were slightly red, as if she had been wronged by the sky.

Seeing this scene, Ye Zhaoyan was a little dumbfounded.

She couldn't help but suspect Zhuo Yibai's city mansion.

Xue Zhiyan has always been an arrogant, cruel and ruthless master, and she is the only one who bullies others on weekdays, but now she is being bullied by this handsome and gentle young man?

Ye Zhaoyan shook his head involuntarily and sighed, life is indeed full of surprises everywhere!
Seeing Xue Zhiyan's pitiful appearance, Wei Yu couldn't help but said, "Miss Xue, my young master is straightforward, so don't worry about it. He just likes to tell the truth."

Xue Zhiyan felt a little relieved when she heard the first half of the sentence, but when she heard the last sentence, she could hardly stop the embarrassment on her face.

What do you mean he just told the truth? !
A bit of anger appeared on her face, and she couldn't help but look at Wei Yu with a bit of knife light.

Seeing her angry, Wei Yu showed doubts on her face, why did the more she talked, the more angry she became?
Still hate him?

He couldn't help but regret that he was meddling in his own business, and his kindness was not rewarded.

Seeing Wei Yu's remorseful expression, Zhuo Yibai couldn't help chuckling.

Wei Yu was seen as a bit inexplicable, and didn't understand why.

Did he just say something wrong?

Ye Zhaoyan couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled.

This is really interesting for master and servant.

The eyes of the Xue sisters have been lingering on the two of them, never leaving.

Xue Zhiyan was anxious in her heart, she looked at Ye Zhaoyan, and secretly made up her mind that she must figure out the relationship between the two of them!

All of a sudden, her mind turned a thousand times, and all kinds of thoughts came one after another.
