Chapter 116 – The Fool Is You (Part One)

Under Ye Yunxi’s guidance, Wang Tingting and the others indeed became less rigid in their acting, bringing Ye Junpo great relief.

What was even more exciting was that both Yunxi and that so-called Male Lead Number One managed to nail their scenes in one take!

Ye Yunxi portrayed the delinquent character so vividly that if Ye Junpo didn’t know she was his daughter, he would have genuinely believed she was a mischievous and roguish little hooligan.

Di Junxie was even more extraordinary—just standing in front of the camera, he could dominate the screen with his imposing presence, making Ye Junpo feel both awed and nervous!

Finally, after filming wrapped up, Ye Yunxi returned home, changed her clothes, and slowly made her way out.

Tonight, the two of them were going to attend an auction together, with Ye Yunxi playing the role of Di Junxie’s fiancée!

The auction venue was located in a luxurious clubhouse. By evening, the area was packed with luxury cars, and one after another, glamorous and influential figures stepped out, dressed in sharp suits and exuding an air of extravagance.

As soon as she got out of the car, Ye Yunxi naturally linked her arm with Di Junxie’s, wearing a gentle smile and appearing delicate and submissive.

Di Junxie narrowed his eyes contentedly, thinking to himself, If only she could always be this obedient!

Unfortunately.

“Young Emperor, welcome!”

The manager hadn’t expected Di Junxie to show up at such a place. Tonight’s auction wasn’t particularly grand, and the gifts didn’t offer much profit—hardly enough to attract someone of the Young Emperor’s stature!

“Hmm.”

Di Junxie responded indifferently and led the way inside. The manager’s gaze shifted past Di Junxie and landed on Ye Yunxi.

This woman—he’d never seen her before. Who was she?

He had never seen the Young Emperor bring a female companion to any event before, yet today, he had brought a young beauty to the auction?!

And she didn’t seem like a young lady from any prominent family. Was she just a fling?

The manager sneered inwardly. In this world, there was never a shortage of women scrambling to climb the social ladder.

But the Young Emperor’s bed wasn’t so easy to climb into!

Sure enough, several girls in the distance were already glancing over frequently.

“Who is that woman? She’s not from our circle, is she?”

“I’ve never seen her before. She’s definitely not from the Imperial Sword. Where did this lowlife come from, daring to latch onto our Young Emperor?”

“But doesn’t the Young Emperor keep his distance from women? How come he’s letting her cling to him like that?”

“Hah, she’s a fox spirit, isn’t she? What man in this world can resist the allure of a fox spirit? Meanwhile, our pure and virtuous goddesses go unnoticed. It’s just ridiculous!”

Xie Lian’er, hailed as the goddess, frowned and coldly stared at Ye Yunxi’s back from the shadows.

Having grown up with the Young Emperor since childhood and being his destined fiancée, where did this lowlife suddenly pop out from?

Xie Lian’er’s expression grew increasingly unpleasant.

“Lian’er, don’t worry. We’ll help you get revenge later and teach that little seductress a lesson!”

“Exactly! What does a mere Xiao Huli have to flaunt in front of the real mistress?”

The girls chatted and laughed as they walked inside, and Xie Lian’er’s mood improved considerably—until someone slowly approached from behind.

“Miss Lian’er.”

Ming Siye smiled faintly. Though still young, the boy was strikingly handsome, with dark eyes that sparkled brilliantly, showing no trace of immaturity.

“Ming Shao!”

Xie Lian’er returned the smile. “Your brother didn’t come?”

“There’s a lot going on at home, so I, as the younger brother, am stepping in.”

“I heard you’ve recently taken a liking to another promising talent? With you and your brother at the helm, the Ming Residence is surely headed for greatness.””I had nothing to do with it, it was all my brother’s doing. As for that person…”

Ming Siye smiled bitterly. After the drifting on Millstone Mountain, that person had disappeared. He had found Ye Yunji, but clearly, they weren’t the same person.
