Chapter 946: Chapter 0946: Not Enemies with Xiao Boyang, but Xiao Boya

Is there a fool in this world?

The answer is yes!

Yes!

But Ye Xunhuan isn’t a fool. Not only isn’t he a fool, but he’s remarkably clever. Just like Fu Xinyue said, Ye Xunhuan could tell that Sheng Wentao wanted to use him.

Even though Ye Xunhuan saw through it, he didn’t expose it on the spot. Instead, he completely went along with Sheng Wentao’s plan and played along with him in this little charade.

Of course, Ye Xunhuan had his own little calculations behind his actions.

He may be in the capital now, but he would eventually have to return to Jiangzhong City. Once he left, Tang Yurou would once again be left by herself in the capital. And sure enough, some rich brats or heirs from big families would make another attempt to pursue Tang Yurou with bad intentions.

Now, with him and Sheng Wentao joining forces to make Fu Zibo kneel and apologize—essentially slapping Xiao Boyang across the face—it left Xiao Boyang utterly humiliated.

On the surface, it seems like he offended Xiao Boyang. But in reality, didn’t this also send a message to everyone that Tang Yurou was already spoken for, saving others from wasting their time?

At the same time, if a small dispute like this could make Fu Zibo kneel and apologize, wouldn’t things escalate even further if it were something more serious?

People in the capital aren’t idiots. Even if there are a few brainless ones, their families would certainly keep them in check, warning them not to provoke Tang Yurou anymore, unless they wanted to invite disaster upon themselves.

With this, Ye Xunhuan had nothing to worry about.

So Ye Xunhuan went along with Sheng Wentao and cooperated.

You could say that neither Ye Xunhuan nor Sheng Wentao gained much advantage from the other. But after this incident, everyone would likely think that the two of them had a close relationship.

If someone were to approach Tang Yurou, would Sheng Wentao just stand idly by when Ye Xunhuan wasn’t around?

In short, Ye Xunhuan and Sheng Wentao were simply using each other this time.

Ye Xunhuan’s motives were for Tang Yurou, but as for Sheng Wentao’s motives... Ye Xunhuan couldn’t figure that out.

"Young Master Ye, you’ve really got a sharp tongue..." Sheng Wentao said with a cheerful grin to Ye Xunhuan.

At this moment, Sheng Wentao’s mood was clearly very good.

"Not as sharp as yours!" Ye Xunhuan replied indifferently, "What, do you have a grudge against Fu Xinyue?"

"How could that be..."

"Or is it like what that man of Fu Xinyue said? You’ve got your eyes on Fu Xinyue, but she didn’t get engaged to you, and now you’re holding a grudge, thinking, ’If I can’t have it, no one else can either,’ so you’re out to destroy her?"

Hearing Ye Xunhuan’s nonsense, Sheng Wentao’s face began to darken gradually. "Screw you, man, I never had my eyes on her. If I did, a little crook of my finger would’ve been enough..."

Ye Xunhuan merely shot him a disdainful side-eye.

Sheng Wentao noticed and chuckled awkwardly. "Young Master Ye, you’ve figured it out..."

"I’m not an idiot, you know!" Ye Xunhuan said irritably. "Right out of the gate, you demanded someone kneel, with such absolute resolve..."

"Actually, it’s just that Xiao Boyang and I don’t quite get along!"

At this point, Sheng Wentao had nothing to hide.

"So you dragged me into this to screw him over?"

"I thought it’d help you vent too..."

"Vent your ass!" Ye Xunhuan snapped. "I just got to the capital. Last time I clashed with the Lin family, things had only just started to settle down, and now you’re dragging me into a fight with Xiao Boyang..."

"But you still helped, didn’t you?"

"That’s only because your Sheng family somewhat helped me deal with the Lin family. Otherwise, I wouldn’t care even if you dropped dead!"

"Damn, how can you be like this? I treated you to afternoon tea today, and now I’m taking you along to show off and fly high together!"

"Who asked you to treat me?" Ye Xunhuan shot him a fierce glare. "Are you really taking me to show off and fly high, or are you just dragging me into your mess?"

Off to the side, Tang Yurou watched Ye Xunhuan and Sheng Wentao argue so intensely about such trivial matters, and she couldn’t help but giggle.

She’d never realized that Sheng Wentao could be this amusing.

"Yu Rou, you tell me. He just got here, and I’m the one dragging him around. Who else would bother with him..."

"One word from me, and there’d be plenty!"

"Do you think you’re the Jade Emperor..."

"I’m Sun Wukong, here to beat the Jade Emperor..."

As he spoke, Ye Xunhuan suddenly seemed to think of something, his gaze scanning Sheng Wentao up and down. "Come on, spill it—did you ever have any designs on my little Yu Rou?"

Sheng Wentao froze in sudden embarrassment at Ye Xunhuan’s words, a look of awkward guilt flashing across his face.

Seeing this, Ye Xunhuan immediately understood that this bastard Sheng Wentao had indeed once had ideas about Tang Yurou. "Screw you and your ancestors! You actually dared to have designs on my little Yu Rou? Kneel and apologize to me right now!"

"Get lost, man! A gentleman can be killed but never humiliated. Besides, back then, I didn’t even know Yu Rou had anything going on with you..." Sheng Wentao defended indignantly, "And the fact that I even liked Yu Rou just goes to show how pretty she is. You’ve got great taste! Look, didn’t I ignore Fu Xinyue altogether?"

"She just wasn’t interested in you!" Ye Xunhuan retorted mercilessly.

"You..."

"Alright, you two, stop arguing!" Tang Yurou finally couldn’t hold back and interrupted their banter.

"For Yu Rou’s sake, I’ll let it slide this time!"

Ye Xunhuan didn’t care for this at all.

"Young Master Sheng, in any case, thank you for today. But if you’re planning on dragging Xunhuan down to help you deal with Xiao Boyang, I won’t allow it!" Tang Yurou’s playful smile gradually disappeared, replaced by a fierce, sharp demeanor.

She looked like a tigress in nature documentaries, fiercely protecting her cubs!

That’s a woman for you—when someone tries to use their man or take advantage of them, she’ll be the first to stand against it!

Sheng Wentao chuckled awkwardly. "No, no, of course not!"

"Even if he has his eyes on me, it’s pointless," Ye Xunhuan said, lighting a cigarette for himself. "I’m heading back to Jiangzhong City soon. He can clean up his own mess!"

"You’re leaving?"

"What, did you really think I’d stay here to fight Xiao Boyang side by side with you? Don’t kid yourself!" Ye Xunhuan said seriously. "Consider yourself lucky I let you use me this once. Don’t get used to it!"

Hearing this, Sheng Wentao sighed helplessly.

"Young Master Sheng, your position in the capital isn’t low, and Xiao Boyang isn’t someone to mess with. How did you end up clashing with him?" Ye Xunhuan asked, unable to resist. "And judging by the way you’re acting, it’s like you can’t wait to drag me into bullying him every day?"

"What kind of grudge is this?"

Sheng Wentao glanced at Ye Xunhuan. "You really don’t know?"

"What would I know?" Ye Xunhuan replied casually. "I just got here. How would I know about the stuff going on with you rich brats?"

Sheng Wentao’s expression slowly grew a bit strange, or perhaps distraught.

Even though Ye Xunhuan had only met Sheng Wentao twice, he could tell this guy was definitely an optimist at heart.

So what exactly had Xiao Boyang done to make him feel like this?

"Actually, it’s not even Xiao Boyang I have a problem with—it’s Xiao Boya!" Sheng Wentao gritted his teeth as he spoke.
