C5 (1/2)

However, in the eyes of An Bian, from the time Gu Benhen had held Ye Nuo's hand to the time they had pushed him aside, they had all been intentionally flirting and swearing in front of him.

A splash of red appeared on the surface of Ye Nuo's white dress. Looking at the vibrant color, Ye Nuo regretted wearing this dress.

Her pretty eyebrows twitched as she stared coldly at An Pi Liang. She said with a stern voice, ”Miss An, you're going too far, aren't you?”

”No matter how outrageous I may be, it is not as outrageous as you being in the bed of someone else's fiancé.” When she said that …

Seeing that there were already people watching, Ye Nuo didn't want to argue with her. She had been made a joke out of nothing.

She turned around to look at Gu Ben Kun, only to see him casually folding his arms, as if he had no intentions of standing up for her.

Ye Nuo smiled, but for some reason, she had a very strange feeling in her heart. It was as if she was sad, as if she was at a loss, making her very uncomfortable.

Just then, Yun Zhou stepped forward and said politely, ”Miss Ye, why don't you come down with me to change?”

Yennefer didn't know this young master of the Cloud Prefecture, but he had heard of his reputation. Just like his name, he was gentle and refined.

It was unlikely that he would take advantage of her.

”Alright, thank you Young Master Yun.”

As they walked out of the hall, Ye Nuo heaved a long sigh of relief. If An Pi had caused a ruckus just now, none of them would have gotten the upper hand at the party.

She turned to look at Yun Prefecture and asked, ”Young Master Yun, do you have nothing else to ask?”

One had to know that her current reputation was Gu Benkun's mistress. Just the word 'mistress' was enough for the upper class to let their imaginations run wild. After all, no one would put such a thing on the table.

But Gu Benkun had done just that!

They even did it very thoroughly, even though they had already agreed on this …

”If Miss Ye wants to speak first, I do have something to do.” Yun Zhou smiled elegantly, ”I wonder if I can become Miss Ye's friend?”

”...” Friend? Ye Nuo was stunned. She didn't expect the Cloud Prefecture to ask this question. After a while, she replied, ”Of course.”

Of course, she wouldn't reject the friend that delivered herself to her doorstep. She just didn't know if this' friend 'had any other intentions.

”The lounge is right in front. I won't be going over. Go ahead, Miss Ye.”

Yun Zhou gracefully stopped outside the resting room.

Entering the lounge, Yennefer found a spare set of clothes and changed into a brand-new white shirt and suit pants. Although they didn't match, it was still better than a wet gown that had been splashed with red wine.

After changing his clothes, Yun Zhou was still waiting outside the door.

”Thank you.” She thanked him politely, but felt that her words were a bit lacking. Before she could continue, she heard Yun Prefecture's gentle voice, ”Miss Ye, you're too kind.”

When he returned to the party, the crowd had already dispersed. Yeno said goodbye to Yun Zhou and didn't bother looking for Gu Ben Kun. He just took a taxi home.

After getting off the taxi, there was still a long way to go. The street lights were dim, giving people a sense of insecurity.

She subconsciously held the bag tightly in her hands.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from behind her. Before she could even react, her mouth was covered and her hands were grabbed. She was dragged towards the green belts on both sides of the road.

”Ugh …” Ugh! Let me go! ”

Yennefer bit the hand that covered her mouth with all his might. The man let go of her hand in pain, and she took the chance to cry for help.

He didn't know if it was because her cry for help was too sincere, but a figure had actually appeared.

”Let her go.”

This is... Gu Benkun's voice? But why was he here?

For a moment, Yennefer's mind was in a mess.

”You want to let go just like that? I advise you not to meddle in the affairs of a hero saving a beauty, or else — ”The few bandits threatened, but in reality, they had already begun to waver upon seeing someone.

Gu Benkun sneered, ”You must have been hired by that young miss of the An clan. The Gu clan can give you more than the An clan, and they can't do anything about hurting us.” Gu Benhen took out a cheque from his pocket and continued, ”The money in this cheque will be taken to buy wine for our brothers to drink.”

The gangsters looked at each other, then accepted the check.

Gu Benkun brushed his sleeves and said, ”The young miss of the An clan is indeed a spoiled child. The only way to find a kidnapper is to find these motley hooligans.”
