The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 534: The Splendid Starry Sky

"Hahaha." As soon as Yu Fengnian and the others left the Yes’ living room, Wu Anguo broke into loud laughter, patting Ye Chenfeng on the shoulder and said, "Chenfeng, that was exhilarating, truly exhilarating. The frustrated expressions on Old Yu, Old Yang, and Old Song’s faces just now are still delightfully relieving. Not only do they refuse to support you as the commander of the Soldier King Group, they even dared to show up looking for trouble? They’re really slapping their own faces!"

Ye Zhenhong was also very satisfied with his grandson, Ye Chen’s performance. With just a few words, he had resolved the conflict, forcing Yu Fengnian, Yang Yuan, and Song Yigang and others to leave in frustration. His skill in using minimal force to move something heavy was played exceptionally well.

"Dongjian, do you now understand why I place all my hopes for the Yes’ future on Chenfeng? Because not only is Chenfeng skilled in combat, but most importantly, he thinks strategically. I am confident that even if our Yes are reduced to just Chenfeng alone, he would be able to restore the Yes to their peak in Huaxia Country. As his uncle, you really need to learn from Chenfeng from now on," said the Yes’ patriarch, feeling extremely gratified.

"Zhenhong is right, Kunming, and you, kid, need to learn from Chenfeng too. You and Dongjian are cut from the same cloth, always hot-tempered, but you instantly cower when faced with a real challenge," said the Wus’ patriarch. He was also very satisfied with his grandson-in-law, Ye Chenfeng—so satisfied, in fact, extraordinarily satisfied that he was willing to sacrifice the Wus’ interests to support Ye Chenfeng.

Ye Dongjian and Wu Kunming hung their heads and nodded vigorously. They had thought it over and realized that if they were in Ye Chenfeng’s position, they probably wouldn’t be able to pull off such a tactful move. The two of them, being the elders, couldn’t help but admire Ye Chenfeng as well. In their eyes, Chenfeng was a freak of nature, an anomaly that would make any man feel self-conscious in his presence.

After the farce quickly came to a close, everyone’s attention turned to Bai Xueling, including Wu Xiaofei, Chenfeng’s fiancée, whose beautiful eyes were also fixed on Bai Xueling, lips slightly pursed in thought.

Feeling the stares from those around her, Bai Xueling’s cheeks couldn’t help but redden slightly as her heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably. Glancing at the indifferent Ye Chenfeng, she thought to herself, "Bai Xueling, you must first settle down in the Yes’ home. Only then can you awaken grandfather and extricate the Bais from this dire situation."

Bai Xueling bit her red lips, stretched out her fair hand to smooth a lock of hair from her forehead, and walked over to Ye Chenfeng’s side, making a move that took everyone there by surprise—she actually took the initiative to hook her arm through Chenfeng’s, saying, "Grandpa Ye, I am already Chenfeng’s woman. May I stay at the Yes’ home today?"

Ye Chenfeng was also taken aback, with his eyes widening. With Bai Xueling’s pride, could she really say such a thing? He blurted out, "Bai Xueling, don’t talk nonsense, when did you become my woman, Ye Chen? As a woman, you shouldn’t be so shameless, right?"

Bai Xueling trembled inside, and she felt an urge to burst into tears. With lips tightly pressed and holding back her tears, as the Bais’ young miss, when had she ever been so debased? Although she knew this was all for the Bais, she still felt incredibly uncomfortable inside.

How shrewd an old man was Ye’s patriarch? He saw through Bai Xueling’s intentions at a glance and said, "Bai girl, I know you want our Yes to help you, but as you saw earlier, our Yes have completely fallen out with the other families in Capital City. If we Yes get involved in the Bais’ affairs, I’m afraid the others will not sit idly by."

"I know that you and Chenfeng have no relationship at all. Our Yes really can’t offer any other help. If you don’t have anywhere to stay recently, then stay at the Yes’ home for the time being. This is the only thing we Yes can do for you."

If the marriage contract between Bai Xueling and Ye Chenfeng hadn’t been dissolved, this time Ye’s patriarch would have certainly stepped in to help without hesitation. Unfortunately, now there was no relationship between the Bais and the Yes, and Ye’s patriarch was not one to meddle in other people’s affairs.

"Bai girl, there’s no need to put on an act in front of us. We have eaten more rice than you’ve tasted salt. Chenfeng’s fiancée now is my granddaughter Xiaofei, and I know you are feeling wronged. Just like Zhenhong said, if you have no place to stay, you can stay at the Yes’ place for a while, or if it really comes down to it, you could even stay at my Wus’ place," Wu Anguo chimed in.

Bai Xueling’s tears circled in her eyes, and at that moment, she felt like a homely duckling, her grip on Ye Chenfeng’s arm gradually loosening, as the aura that had once surrounded her seemed to have completely vanished. Taking deep breaths, she found herself truly without a place to go; the Bais’ home was no longer an option: "Thank you, Grandpa Ye, Grandpa Wu. I promise to leave as soon as I find a place to stay."

Looking at Bai Xueling’s forlorn figure, both of the old men shook their heads helplessly, feeling a great deal of sympathy for her.

...

At dinner time, the Wus stayed to dine with the Yes again, while Bai Xueling, declining due to a lack of appetite, took a walk by herself in the garden of the Yes’ villa.

At the dining table, Elder Ye looked at Ye Dongjian and said, "Dongjian, in a few days it will be your wedding day. You must prepare well. We have now completely fallen out with the Yus, the Yangs, the Songs, and other families. Many people in Capital City are waiting to see us make fools of ourselves."&p>

"Dad, rest assured, nothing will go wrong with Min Yan’s and my wedding," Ye Dongjian promised, patting his chest.

As everyone discussed Ye Dongjian’s wedding, Wu Xiaofei stood up and walked towards the garden of the Ye family villa.

Under the night sky, Bai Xueling sat alone on the lawn, lost in thought. Wu Xiaofei walked over and sat next to her. Bai Xueling forced a smile and said, "I really have nothing to do with Ye Chenfeng. There’s already someone I like in my heart. The only reason I did what I did was in hopes that the Ye family would lend a helping hand to the Bais, so rest assured."&p>

Wu Xiaofei shook her head indifferently, looked at the woman beside her, known as the most beautiful woman in Capital City, and said, "Mm, I know. In fact, I should be thanking you. If you hadn’t broken off your engagement with Chenfeng, I could never have become his fiancée."

Bai Xueling could only offer a rueful smile. When she had decided to break off the engagement with Ye Chenfeng, it was wholly because she had learned about Zhao Wanting being Ye Chenfeng’s girlfriend. She had wanted to make way for her dear friend Zhao Wanting and Ye Chenfeng, not knowing if Wu Xiaofei was aware that Ye Chenfeng had other women outside. She casually said, "You don’t need to thank me. As far as I am concerned, Ye Chenfeng is at best a well-meaning profligate, and there’s no way I could fall for him."

Wu Xiaofei stood up noncommittally and said, "Perhaps what you have seen is only the surface of Chenfeng. If you need any help in the future, feel free to come to me, though perhaps I won’t be able to help much."

After she spoke, Wu Xiaofei walked toward the living room of the Ye family. As she reached the door, Ye Chenfeng happened to walk out from the inside and asked, "Xiaofei, where did you go? I was just about to look for you."

"I went to see Bai Xueling. Actually, she’s quite pitiable. She used to be the number one beauty of Capital City and was untouchable because of the halo of the Bais. But now that she has lost that halo, it’s a very painful blow for her," Wu Xiaofei said without concealment.

"Bai Xueling is just too proud. In reality, her heart is very kind. Forget it, I’ll call her in to eat. Xiaofei, you go inside first," Ye Chenfeng stepped out of the hall and headed toward the garden of the Ye family villa.

Bai Xueling was still sitting on the lawn in a daze, and Ye Chenfeng sat down beside her. Perhaps aware that the person beside her was Ye Chenfeng, she turned her face toward him.

"I say, Bai the beautiful, I came out here with good intentions to call you in for dinner. What’s with that attitude?" Ye Chenfeng asked, quite annoyed.

Bai Xueling did not answer him, and Ye Chenfeng moved directly in front of her. When he saw Bai Xueling with tears streaming down her face, trying hard not to cry out loud, at that moment, his heart was slightly touched, very slightly.

"Ye Chenfeng, have you had your fill of looking? Do you think I’m a laughingstock? Do you think I’m pitiable?"

With a choke, Bai Xueling glared at Ye Chenfeng and bit down hard on his shoulder, leaving the mark of her red lips on his white shirt, teeth clenching Ye Chenfeng’s shoulder.

Under the brilliant starry sky, fiery red lips.

That night, the erstwhile number-one beauty of Capital City shed all her pride and arrogance, crying freely and heartily. Her tears wet the clothes on Ye Chenfeng’s shoulder. (To be continued.
