"Thatâs right, this guy is a total lecher, having such a young and pretty girl follow him; who knows what kind of beastly things he could do." Yang Bingning said, eyeing Ye Luo with contempt.
"Hey, I donât agree with that. I am a righteous and good man; how can you speak of me like that? Youâre slandering my reputation," Ye Luo quickly retorted.
"Ye Luo, it seems that this is the only option now," Shi Yanran likewise spoke up.
In the end, it was decided that Zi Yun, who had lost her memory, would be taken care of by Ye Luo and stay by his side.
Although Yang Bingning was somewhat worried, there was no better solution at the moment. After making Ye Luo swear that he would absolutely not do anything beastly to Zi Yun, Ye Luo brought Zi Yun back to the villa.
At the villa, Yan Ling and Lin Xiaoyan had already returned, but when they saw Ye Luo arrive with a young and beautiful girl, their faces were filled with surprise, especially when they saw the girl affectionately clinging to Ye Luoâs arm; they were truly shocked.
Yan Ling watched the two people, then stood up, walked over to Ye Luo, and said, "You really are something, hooking up with such a pretty and innocent girl so quickly. You really are a beast."
"What are you talking about? Youâve all misunderstood. Her name is Zi Yun; sheâs lost her memory," Ye Luo explained.
"No way, you even wonât let a girl with amnesia go? You truly are despicable," Yan Ling said, looking at Ye Luo with a scornful gaze.
Ye Luo felt the urge to bash his head against a wall; he could only explain the situation in great detail once more, focusing his gaze on Yan Ling, "Do you understand now?"
Yan Ling and Lin Xiaoyanâs eyes involuntarily turned to Zi Yun as they said, "To think that such a pretty girl would cling to you; your charm is really something else."
At that moment, Zi Yun looked at Yan Ling somewhat fearfully, her small hand tightly grasping Ye Luoâs arm, and she hid behind him.
"Well then, why donât you stay here," Yan Ling directly suggested.
"Big Brother Ye, the clothes on Miss Zi Yun are dirty. Why donât we give her a bath and change into some of my clothes?" Lin Xiaoyan said, looking at Zi Yun.
"Alright, you take her to have a bath then," Ye Luo nodded.
"No, Big Brother, I want Big Brother to help me wash," Zi Yun quickly said, pulling on Ye Luoâs arm.
Huh?
For a moment, Ye Luo, Yan Ling, and Lin Xiaoyan were all stunned, completely taken aback by Zi Yunâs words.
Ye Luo glanced over Zi Yun; although she wasnât breathtakingly beautiful, she was certainly a fine beauty, especially her figure, which was voluptuous in all the right placesâa perfect figure. For a moment, Ye Luoâs thoughts began to wander.
"You lecher, what are you thinking? You must not harm such a girl who has lost her memory; otherwise, when she regains her memory one day, she might hate you to death," Yan Ling glared at Ye Luo while speaking.
"Sister Yan, am I really as bad as you say?" Ye Luo said helplessly, then turned to Zi Yun, "Zi Yun, donât be afraid. These two are my friends, they wonât hurt you. Let this sister take you to bathe, okay? If you donât listen, then Big Brother wonât want you any more."
Zi Yun tilted her head, pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, Big Brother."
"Come, Zi Yun, Iâll take you to have a bath," Lin Xiaoyan said as she took Zi Yunâs hand and led her straight into the bathroom.
"You really seem to be a womanâs bane, easily having such a beautiful woman delivered to your doorstep," Yan Ling said to Ye Luo with a teasing smile.
"I told you, itâs because Iâm too handsome and too charming," Ye Luo sat down next to Yan Ling, wrapping his arm around her slender waist.
Just then, Ye Luoâs phone rang. It was Shangguan Xiner calling. He then remembered that he had promised to accompany her to a class reunion tonight and nearly forgot about it.
"Hello, Xiner," Ye Luo spoke quickly as he answered the call.
"Alright, Iâll be there soon," Ye Luo nodded and hung up.
"Xiner is another gorgeous woman, huh? How many women do you actually have out there? They just keep coming one after another. Youâre not planning to be an emperor with a harem of three thousand beauties, are you?" Yan Ling asked, her lips pursed and her expression flickering as she looked at Ye Luo.
Laughing, Ye Luo hugged Yan Ling and kissed her on her red lips, saying, "Donât worry. If I were to become an emperor, you would be my consort."
"Then who would be the empress? Is it Ling Qingya?"
"Do you want to be?"
"Iâd better not. Itâs not so easy to be the empress. I donât have the ability to do that. You should leave it to your official fiancĂ©e. But I wonder if she would agree to your request to become the emperor," Yan Ling said with a playful laugh.
Not long after, Lin Xiaoyan brought Zi Yun out. Zi Yun had changed into a clean dress, her body radiating a fresh fragrance. She looked even more stunning and pure.
"Big Brother," Zi Yun rushed towards Ye Luo as soon as she saw him, clinging to his hand as if she was particularly close to him alone.
Ye Luo felt a sense of helplessness. If he had such a beautiful woman clinging to him every day, it would truly be a torturous affair.
"Zi Yun, big brother has some things to take care of and has to go out. Why donât you stay here and play with Sister Yan and Xiaoyan? They will keep you company," he said.
"No, I want to go with big brother," Zi Yun insisted.
"Zi Yun, you need to be obedient, or big brother will have to send you away," he warned her.
Finally, after some persuasion from Ye Luo, Zi Yun agreed to stay, and Ye Luo managed to free himself.
In Zhonghai, outside a five-star hotel, a shadowy figure in a white blouse paired with blue jeans stood out. Despite the simple attire, it perfectly outlined her stunning figure.
Her delicate facial features seemed carefully sculpted without a single flaw. Even in light makeup, she appeared fresh and extraordinary, dazzlingly radiant. This woman was none other than Shangguan Xiner.
Soon, a group of young men and women emerged from the hotel. They were all university classmates of Shangguan Xiner.
"Why have you all come out?" Shangguan Xiner asked the group in surprise.
"Naturally, they are here to welcome Bai Yandong," a young woman who was quite pretty and dressed casually replied. She was a good friend of Shangguan Xinerâs from university named Su Min. It was because of her that Shangguan Xiner was attending this class reunion.
