So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

As Ye Yu lifted the thin curtain, the sound in the private room stopped abruptly, and the scene inside came into view.

The quiet and elegant Ye Lingxuan sat on the soft couch in the private room. She was in the beautiful age of youth, with eyebrows like distant black, cherry lips, and delicate features.

The other girl next to her sat well-behaved, wearing light clothes. Although she was one or two years younger than her sister, the slightly raised arc on her chest was much larger than that of her sister next to her, and her graceful figure was looming.

They were of similar age, and the sisters sat together, while next to Ye Qian sat a rather handsome boy.

The thin curtain was lifted, and the voices in the private room quieted down. Mu Zhian looked up and saw Ye Yu. He was keenly aware of the other party's jealous eyes. He calmly put down the teacup and looked at the two of them, wondering: "Miss Lingxuan, have you made an appointment with anyone else?"

Ye Lingxuan shook her head slightly, raised her head, and smiled reservedly: "Brother Ye Yu, what's the matter?"

Ye Yu stared at Mu Zhian, and his voice was full of anger, and said: "Why are you with him?"

"Sister Lingxuan and I have never been to the auction house, so we want to find someone to accompany us." Ye Qian said softly, "I asked Brother Ye Yu several times before, but you were not free, so we didn't disturb Brother Ye Yu's practice."

It's not that Ye Qian had not invited Ye Yu in the past, but Ye Yu refused on the grounds that he was practicing.

He subconsciously thought that accompanying his cousin to the auction house was a waste of time, and they had no contact in the past. He waited until he had the talent to invite her, which inevitably made Ye Yu feel that his cousin was a bit snobbish.

As for Ye Lingxuan... She is a proud girl, and generally she won't take the initiative to invite others. If it wasn't for Ye Qian, Ye Lingxuan wouldn't have written that letter to Mu Zhian.

To put it bluntly, Ye Yu didn't want his sister to leave him, but he didn't want to spend time on her either.

Ye Yu stared at Mu Zhian, who looked relaxed, and whispered, "You shouldn't look for him, he's not a good person."

Ye Lingxuan frowned slightly, but still maintained her usual politeness, saying, "Brother Ye Yu, Master Mu is my guest. If you have nothing to do, please go back first."

After all, Mu Zhian was also her guest. Even if Ye Yu and Mu Zhian had any conflicts, they shouldn't have conflicts in such a public place.

Ye Yu frowned and said, "If you ask me, I will take time to accompany you anyway. You are my sisters after all, and wasting some time is nothing."

Originally, the two sisters were at Ye's house, which made Ye Yu subconsciously think that they would not leave, but today he saw them with Mu Zhian... This made Ye Yu finally feel a sense of crisis.

Mu Zhian remained silent until he heard what Ye Yu said, and he almost couldn't help laughing.

Ye Yu may not be a fool, but his emotional intelligence is probably really low.

Taking time to accompany a girl is a waste of time?

Even if you really think it's a waste of time, you can't say it directly... Want to pursue a girl but don't want to spend time, what kind of Asian protagonist is he waiting for the girl to pursue him?

What's more, girls like Ye Qian and even Ye Lingxuan are pursued by the opposite sex, and if you don't go, others will.

Ye Lingxuan was indeed a little uncomfortable in her heart, and whispered: "Brother Ye Yu, please go back first. Qian'er is safe under my protection, and Master Mu will send us back to the Ye Mansion when the time comes."

"Yes, after the auction, I will personally send them back." Mu Zhian raised his hand and gently rubbed Ye Qian's head, and smiled: "The Ye family's carriage is still parked outside. Although the carriage is a little small, Sister Lingxuan and Sister Qian'er are both very slender girls, so it shouldn't be too crowded."

This simple sentence almost broke Ye Yu's defense. He imagined the scene of "嫐" in the carriage when they returned. For a moment, he looked at Mu Zhian with undisguised anger in his eyes.

"One thousand seven hundred spirit stones, is there anyone who can bid higher?"

At this time, Feiying's soft and pleasant voice suddenly came from the audience. Just now, two or three people raised the price one after another, which has already made the price of this dragon beard soar to one thousand seven hundred spirit stones.

And hearing the bidding sound in his ears, Ye Yu also calmed down a little.

Just now, he saw his two sisters being so close to Mu Zhian in the private room, and he was so angry that he almost forgot the real purpose of coming to Ye Lingxuan.

Compared with the Dragon Whiskers, other things are completely irrelevant... No matter how lustful Mu Zhian is, he will definitely not dare to touch Ye Lingxuan and Ye Qian.

The most urgent thing now is to bid for the Dragon Whiskers.

This idiot has no idea of ​​the true value of that thing... Ye Yu's eyes fell on Ye Lingxuan and said, "Lingxuan, do you have any extra spiritual stones?"

Ye Lingxuan frowned slightly and glanced at Mu Zhian subconsciously.

She knew that Mu Zhian also wanted that whisker. If he borrowed money...

Ye Yu saw Ye Lingxuan's expression completely. He subconsciously looked at Mu Zhian and said, "It was you who was bidding with me just now?"

Mu Zhian smiled and said, "In fact, I am also a little interested in that whisker."

Ye Yu's eyes suddenly turned cold.

What do you mean by interested in the whiskers? This Mu Zhian is clearly targeting him!

But he had no other options... With Mu Zhian's financial resources, he was completely incomparable.

But even so... at least he had to make Mu Zhian bleed heavily once.

Ye Yu looked at the elegant girl in purple skirt and said, "Lingxuan, can you lend me some spiritual stones?"

Ye Lingxuan frowned slightly.

Ye Yu's words pushed Ye Lingxuan to the forefront.

Lending the spirit stone to Ye Yu is equivalent to targeting Mu Zhian, but if he doesn't lend it...it doesn't seem to be a good idea. After all, they grew up together in the Ye family and never looked up.

In fact, a smarter person should not have said this to Ye Lingxuan at all.

But Ye Yu obviously lost his mind after seeing Mu Zhian. He was targeted by Mu Zhian again and again. Now he sees his two younger sisters in the same room as him, and the jealousy in his heart is naturally difficult to extinguish. .

At this time, Ye Lingxuan suddenly felt that her delicate hand placed under the table was quietly clenched by a warm palm. Her heartbeat slowed down a beat, and she subconsciously glanced at Mu Zhian, with a flash of anger in her eyes.

But at this time, when Mu Zhian met her eyes, she nodded inadvertently.

He meant to let me borrow brother Ye Yu's spiritual stone... Ye Lingxuan understood what Mu Zhian meant, and was surprised for a while before slowly coming back to his senses, taking out a small box from the ring and handing it to Ye Yu.

"These are the two thousand spiritual stones I carry with me. Let's lend them to brother Ye Yu first." There was already a hint of coldness in the voice that could repel people thousands of miles away.

Ye Yu's originally frowning brows relaxed and he glanced at Mu Zhian, as if he wanted to see out-of-control anger in his eyes.

However, Mu Zhian's expression remained calm and at ease, and he took a sip of tea slowly, as if he didn't care at all.

Do you want to pretend to be a rich young man in front of Qian'er and Lingxuan, but they don't like any rich children... Ye Yu secretly laughed, took the box, and said with a smile: "Lingxuan, this I will return the two thousand spirit stones to you when I return to Ye Mansion."

He knew that Mu Zhian would continue to bid with him later, and the purpose of borrowing money now was to make Mu Zhian shed blood, and to show Mu Zhian that I am the one they really care about.

Between Mu Zhian and him, Ye Lingxuan and Ye Qian finally chose him instead of Mu Zhian.

To put it bluntly, I just want to kill people and hurt my heart.

When he returned to his seat, Ye Yu immediately raised his head and shouted: "Two thousand three hundred spirit stones."

Sure enough, the maid next to Huang Manting raised the price again: "Two thousand and four hundred spiritual stones."

Ye Yu sneered secretly and did not increase the price this time.

On the other side, Ye Lingxuan turned to look at Mu Zhian, with a hint of apology in his eyes for the first time, and said, "I'm sorry for costing you nearly two thousand more spiritual stones."

She originally just wanted to take the Glazed Earth at the auction house to relax...but she didn't want the people accompanying them to encounter such a bad thing.

Ye Qian's eyes were also apologetic, and her brows were furrowed.

Mu Zhian put down the tea cup gently, shook his head and smiled: "I have already said that the matter between Ye Yu and I has nothing to do with you, and you should not be involved."

"Sorry, I will return the two thousand spirit stones to you when I go back." Ye Lingxuan said.

Ye Lingxuan is an extremely smart girl, so she naturally knows that Mu Zhian is doing this for them.

"If spending an extra two thousand spirit stones can help you get along harmoniously when you go back, it will be worth it." Mu Zhian said with a smile.

This time it seemed that I spent two thousand spirit stones, but in fact it was not.

Glancing at Ye Lingxuan, whose face was full of apologies, and Ye Qian, who seemed a little unhappy, Mu Zhian silently took a sip of tea.

Then he poured a cup of tea for the two of them and said with a smile: "Don't be so gloomy. Since you are unhappy because of one thing, why can't you be happy because of another thing?"

Ye Lingxuan's eyes softened slightly after hearing this.

Thinking about it... although it makes me a little depressed because of the borrowing money.

But if you think about it differently, there are people who think about her and are even willing to be taken advantage of... This kind of tenderness that penetrates like water can't help but warm people's hearts.

Just return the two thousand spirit stones to Mu Zhian later.

To Ye Lingxuan, that little spiritual stone was nothing.

Ye Qian suddenly felt the back of her hand being lightly touched by a palm. Her heart skipped a beat and she glanced at Mu Zhian subconsciously. His handsome profile and high nose made him look like the brother next door. But my heart is moved.

Ye Qian's eyes flashed slightly, and he glanced at his sister guiltily. He didn't break away, but just lowered his head and said nothing.

It looks like the initial judgment is the same. Ye Qian belongs to the extremely innocent "elementary school girl" type, who can be easily conquered. As long as she can speak well and is good-looking and treats her well, there will be no problem.

At the same time, the Soaring Dragon Beard that was auctioned in the audience was finally put into Mu Zhian's pocket for 2,400 spirit stones.

Ye Yu raised his head and looked at a certain elegant room, and said with a smile: "Young Master Mu took two thousand and four hundred spirit stones to take a piece of waste. He is really heroic."

In the private room, Mu Zhian was playing with Ye Qian's soft little hands. Hearing this, he first laughed secretly in his heart.

Ye Yu, a fool, thought he was making money, but in fact, his whole house was stolen.

Then, he suddenly remembered something important, and the smile gradually froze on his face.

Damn it...that's not right...

If it were normal, Mu Zhian would naturally win a big victory this time.

However--

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Mu Zhian vaguely seemed to hear someone in the private room outside gently lift the thin curtain. When he heard the footsteps approaching, Mu Zhian felt a cold feeling from head to toe.

Ye Yu indeed won this time.

This young man completely exposed the fact that he accompanied the Ye sisters at the auction house.
