Chapter 337

Yan Yue’s gaze seemed to materialize into two laser beams that burned a hole in Yan Ruffs hand that was holding Bai Lin’s.

Today, she had specially worn the aqua blue that she did not like, just so that it could match Yan Ruffs indigo suit.

However, Yan Ruo was even stingy with giving her an extra glance.

For a moment, the mask of nobility that she had put up for so many years was almost shattered by Yan Ruffs soft words toward Bai Lin.

The sharp pain in her palms made her perk up again.

There were many other people here, so she could not lose her composure and let others see her as a joke.

Yan Yue let out a breath of annoyed air. Her long eyelashes fluttered, and her face quickly regained its cold and noble expression.

The surrounding heiresses and female celebrities did not even dare to breathe loudly when they saw this scene.

Their families were just small families compared to the Yan family. If their family members knew that they had made Yan Ruo unhappy today, it would be hard to say if they would still be valued in their families.

The security guard was already drenched in cold sweat.

He had been a security guard in the Yan family for a long time. The last time Yan Ruo had defended someone like this was Yan-3, who had been by his side since he was young and was his most trusted subordinate.

Miss Bai Lin’s status was undoubtedly comparable to Yan-3… No, perhaps her status in Yan Ruffs heart was even higher than Yan-3.

For a moment, the side door fell into a strange silence.

They had personally witnessed Yan Ruffs favoritism toward a woman that he did not even try to hide. They had seen him being completely unreasonable in front of this woman and would only treat her as the center of attention.

It was not an overstatement to say that they even suspected that if this woman pointed at a sheep and said that it was a kitten one day, Yan Ruo would also clap his hands in agreement.

Yan Ruo personally brought Bai Lin in through the special passage. Right now, everyone in the banquet hall could tell that this ordinary-looking Bai Lin was someone personally protected by Yan Ruo.

One of the young ladies noticed that Yan Yue’s expression was not good, so she took the opportunity to secretly badmouth Bai Lin when Yan Ruo and Bai Lin had already walked far away.

“She’s just a vixen. No one’d want her if she were to be thrown outside. I don’t know what she’s up to in seducing Best Actor Yan. Bah, her clothes are so ugly, but she’s got a good plan.”

Yan Yue did not feel comforted by her words. Instead, she said coldly, “No one wants her? Are you saying that my cousin’s gone blind?”

The young lady was shocked. She knew that she had flattered Yan Yue the wrong way and could not explain herself. She could only apologize in a humble manner.

Yan Yue’s face was as cold as ice. She ignored everyone else and returned to the banquet hall.

Everyone in the banquet hall was already talking about Bai Lin.

“She’s dressed like that, but no one dares to criticize her. I’m afraid she’s not simple.” Yan Yue had just stood still when she heard this from behind. She did not need to think to know that they were talking about Bai Lin.

“You didn’t see it? She was led in by Fourth Young Master Yan through the special passage hand in hand! He only let go when they reached the desserts table.” That person clicked his tongue twice, seemingly also very surprised.

Yan Yue stared at the half-filled glass of champagne in her hand. She did not leave. Instead, she stood where she was and listened to the discussions. She gradually began to guess what kind of background Bai Lin had and how much Yan Ruo doted on her.

Yan Ruo did not have any romantic feelings for her, this was something Yan Yue knew since she was young.

She had always wanted to work hard to stand at the same height as Yan Ruo. She wanted to be on good terms with the Yan family and Elder Mrs. Yan. Rich and powerful families like theirs meant that they could not choose their partners based on superficial feelings. As long as she was outstanding enough, she could be the best candidate for Yan Ruffs marriage…

However, Bai Lin had appeared out of nowhere.

Yan Yue had heard about Bai Lin a long time ago. She used all of her free time from her studies to pay attention to Yan Ruffs status. Naturally, she had long since noticed that Yan Ruo treated Bai Lin differently.

However, facing his special treatment to her directly today still made her feel a strong sense of jealousy in her heart.

In what way was she inferior to Bai Lin?!
