The Yandere Male Lead Chases Me-Chapter 817: Bailian’s Male Pet Causes Trouble 10
Chapter 817 Bai Lian’s male pet is Looking for Trouble 10
It seemed there were several such encounters every day.
Now, as she led him outside, he found himself resisting less.
Ji Yu’s eyes flickered with awareness when he realized this.
So there went Su Yan, pulling Ji Yu along, followed by a procession of house servants and Lanzhi.
They made quite a scene on the street.
Su Yan’s reputation, it seemed, was known by everyone in the Capital.
When passersby saw Su Yan with a male pet looking like a refined scholar, they all sighed in unison.
Which noble family’s fine gentleman had now been corrupted by this Demon Lord of Mayhem?
The onlookers couldn’t help but glance at the man with a sympathetic look.
At the same time, they appeared quite fearful of the house servants by Su Yan’s side.
As they strolled about, they suddenly heard a sardonic voice.
"Oh, Young Master Su is well enough to go out now??"
Looking up, they saw a man dressed in luxurious clothes, holding a folding fan, posturing himself as debonair.
But he was only slightly rotund, with a face as round as a plate.
A mole was situated between his brows.
Behind him was a cadre of house servants, seemingly more in number than those accompanying Su Yan.
His name was Zheng Ping.
He hailed from a bureaucratic family; his father was a third-rank Vice Minister at court, and it was rumored that his grandfather was somewhat kin to the Empress Dowager.
The two had always been at odds.
Every encounter ended only after a series of cold jeers and hot jibes.
This time, because the original body had nearly drowned in the lake while picking lotus pods for a minor official—a story that had spread throughout the Capital—
Zheng Ping had been waiting for a long time, and finally, Su Yan went out.
He had to seize the moment to mock him and tarnish his face.
Zheng Ping scornfully sized up Su Yan and jeered,
"Young Master Su is truly formidable, falling into a lake for a minor official, and now you can still strut around. It seems the rumors of your near-drowning were greatly exaggerated."
Su Yan didn’t speak, only looked down and held onto Ji Yu’s hand, her attention clearly divided.
Su Yan was tall among women.
But among men, she was considered short.
Especially now, as she stood in front of Ji Yu, looking down.
She seemed much shorter by comparison.
Next to Ji Yu, she was slimmer, and she just happened to stand a step behind, slightly offset.
This made it look as if Su Yan was hiding behind Ji Yu from Zheng Ping.
Seeing this, Zheng Ping was invigorated.
He laughed heartily with hands on his hips,
"Why is the Young Master silent now?
Weren’t you always so eloquent before?
Now hiding behind a man, pretending to be a tortoise, aren’t you afraid it’ll sully your reputation as the Capital’s Little Tyrant?"
As he spoke, Zheng Ping’s gaze fell on Ji Yu.
Your greatest acquaintance is not your friend but your enemy.
Zheng Ping had been closely observing Su Yan’s every move these days.
He was, of course, aware of her taking away a minor official from Hua Man Building late one night.
Zheng Ping scrutinized Ji Yu,
"Young Master Su, is he the one you took away that night?
He seems a bit lacking compared to that minor official Chu Feng.
I wonder what earned him your favor?
Why not name a day, and let us brothers have a try too?"
Su Yan was originally planning to stay quiet.
After all, both families were important court officials, and while they quarreled, there was a limit.
They had never resorted to physical altercation.
But upon hearing Zheng Ping’s insinuations,
Su Yan looked up only to catch Zheng Ping sizing up Ji Yu with his eyes.
Su Yan’s expression turned cold as she walked over.
With one swift move, she grabbed Zheng Ping by the collar and with a loud clatter, slammed him onto the ground.
