Shen Yue looked at the woman whose back was turned to her. Hearing what she’d just said, Shen Yue frowned.
’Looks like I was overthinking things.’ She’d originally thought her words had hurt him and he was off sulking by himself.
She hadn’t expected it to be so lively here.
And with a beauty for company, no less.
At that moment, the two subordinates standing nearby also spotted Shen Yue.
A Cheng said nervously,
"Miss Shen Yue!"
A Qi didn’t say anything, just watched quietly with a nervous expression.
Jie Ying saw Bai Chaosi’s expression suddenly change and heard someone call out "Miss Shen Yue."
She slowly turned around.
Her gaze met a pair of eyes that shimmered like starlight on water.
Her heart skipped a beat when she got a clear look at the woman’s stunningly beautiful face, and her hand, hanging at her side, instantly clenched into a fist.
’This woman is gorgeous.’
Jealousy unconsciously flared in her heart.
’Miss Shen Yue?’ she thought, her mind racing.
’Which Miss Shen Yue?’
’When did the Young Master meet a woman this beautiful?’
’Could it be that after leaving Snow Ridge for a month, he came to this barbaric land just to be with her?’
In that instant, a sense of crisis and unease completely overwhelmed her.
The way she looked at Shen Yue kept changing.
But Shen Yue only gave her a single, calm glance before shifting her gaze to Bai Chaosi.
Bai Chaosi looked nervous, staring intently at Shen Yue, trying to read her expression.
He opened his mouth to speak and even took a step toward Shen Yue.
But Shen Yue said coolly,
"My apologies for interrupting."
She then turned to leave.
Bai Chaosi froze. Watching her turn her back on him, his heart clenched.
’Is she angry?’
He opened his mouth to explain.
But before he could, Jie Ying spoke up.
"Stop!"
But the person who had already turned away paid her no mind.
Seeing this, Jie Ying grew furious.
"I told you to stop! Didn’t you hear me?!"
Her voice was haughty and imperious, as if she were trying to intimidate Shen Yue.
When Shen Yue still didn’t stop,
"I said, stop!" she snarled.
Shen Yue paused mid-stride and finally turned back, raising an eyebrow at the other woman.
"Is there a problem?"
Jie Ying’s expression soured. She launched into an interrogation.
"Who are you? Didn’t you see there were people here by the river? Don’t you have any manners, barging in and interrupting a couple’s private conversation?"
As she spoke, she also glanced behind Shen Yue, at the figure lurking in the shadows.
Although she couldn’t make out the person’s features, she instinctively felt it was a man.
Huang Ziyue, standing behind Shen Yue, merely shot Jie Ying a cool glance, not bothering to step out of the shadows.
’This woman is truly obnoxious.’
’At a time like this, I trust Shen Yue can make her own judgments.’
’Although the men usually bicker and compete over Shen Yue, it’s undeniable that we all bear her mark. In other words, we are all her men.’
’Unless Shen Yue truly casts us aside, we have no right to fool around with other women.’
’But tonight, no sooner did Bai Chaosi upset Shen Yue than he’s having a clandestine meeting with another woman.’
’Regardless of their relationship, what that woman just said and her arrogant attitude are enough to land Bai Chaosi in hot water!’
’So, the fox is really in for it now!’
Shen Yue stared at Jie Ying, her expression unreadable. ’Interrupting a couple’s conversation?’
She raised an eyebrow at Bai Chaosi, the corner of her mouth twitching into a smirk.
Bai Chaosi met Shen Yue’s ambiguous, mocking gaze, and his heart seized.
He wanted to see anger and jealousy on her face.
But at the same time, he was terrified she would actually misunderstand.
So, without a second thought, he snapped at Jie Ying,
