Yu Jue’s words continued to float into her ears.

“Yaoyao, girls have to protect themselves outside. You can’t let your guard down against handsome men…”

“Yaoyao, why don’t I help you bring the kitty down? You don’t have to go up and see him anymore…”

“Alright, alright. You’re not very old. How can you be so naggy?” Yu Yao said impatiently. “I’ve already grown up and can distinguish between the good and the bad by myself. Moreover, Qiao Lian has never hurt me. Currently, we’re just friends. Why are you so nervous?”

With that, Yu Yao turned around and continued walking towards the elevator, not caring if Yu Jue accepted her reasoning or not.

Yu Jue clutched his chest with a face full of disbelief and grief. He looked at Yu Yao’s retreating back and then at the camera lens that was pointed directly at his face.

“What did Yaoyao mean before? Currently, she’s still friends with him? Does that mean that they might cut ties in the future or become even more intimate?”

The cameraman cut in softly. “I personally think that Miss Yu Yao means the latter one.”

Yu Jue clutched his chest, looking like he couldn’t breathe and was about to faint.

The elevator had already arrived. Yu Yao turned around and looked at Yu Jue in exasperation. “Do you want to go up with me or not?”

Yu Jue quickly stopped his heart-wrenching performance and quickly followed behind her.

“You’re such a drama queen, acting up in such a short time.” Yu Yao couldn’t help but complain.

“I’m not acting. Brother is really sad.” Yu Jue let out a long sigh. “Yaoyao, promise me that if you fall in love with any boy in the future, you must tell the family. Eldest Brother, Second Brother, and I will help you keep an eye on him.”

His expression was extremely solemn when he said these words. He did not seem to be saying this purely to stop Yu Yao and Qiao Ying from interacting, but more like he was afraid that Yu Yao would meet someone indecent in the future.

His attitude puzzled Yu Yao. “I’m not even twenty years old yet. I’m not even at the legal age for marriage, and besides, I don’t want to get married so early. Why are you so nervous?”

“That’s good, that’s good. Even if you don’t get married in this lifetime, we would never rush you to get married.” Yu Jue heaved a sigh of relief, and his expression became light again.

“Ridiculous,” Yu Yao mumbled and stopped paying attention to Yu Jue, who always seemed to have a strange train of thought.

In reality, Yu Jue’s thoughts were very simple. No matter what kind of feelings Yu Yao had for Qiao Ling, no matter if they would be friends, lovers, strangers, or if Yu Yao would find another man to date and marry, Yu Jue just didn’t want Yu Yao to be hurt.

After all, in her previous life, Yu Yao had suffered enough in love and marriage.

Back then, Yu Yao had been deceived by Gao Cheng and had lost everything in that marriage. Although Yu Jue and the two other brothers later helped Yu Yao take revenge, their younger sister would never be able to return to their side again.

Therefore, when Yu Jue sensed that Yu Yao was showing signs of wanting to date, he became as nervous as a cat whose fur had exploded. In the end, Yu Jue was just afraid that he could not protect his younger sister.

Yu Jue’s emotions were in a mess, but the elevator quickly stopped at the presidential suite on the top floor.

Qiao Lian’s assistant was waiting at the elevator door. When he saw Yu Yao and Yu Jue, he bowed and said, “Miss Yu Yao, Third Young Master Yu, Mr. Qiao is already waiting for you.”

The assistant brought Yu Yao and Yu Jue to their room, where Qiao Lian was working on his computer.

When he saw them, he nodded. “Good morning. Please wait a moment. I’ll be done soon.”

At this time, Qiao Lian was wearing a shirt and trousers. His hair was slicked back neatly, and he was wearing a pair of spectacles, looking especially dignified.

If they were ordinary people, they might be suppressed by his aura and be too cautious to move.

However, Yu Yao had already met Qiao Lian a few times. In addition, she had experienced many storms in her previous life and was not a timid person.

As for Yu Jue, he was famous for being straightforward in the entertainment industry. In addition, he had a vigilant heart when facing Qiao Lian. He felt that this man would snatch his sister, so Yu Jue was not afraid of Qiao Lian’s aura.

He sat down on the sofa opposite Qiao Lian and stared at the man across from him with burning eyes. He sized the man up a few times and Yu Jue had to admit that Qiao Lian was indeed a fairly outstanding man. If he hadn’t been conspiring to snatch his sister, Yu Jue would be very happy to maintain a good relationship with such a person.

Yu Yao was even more relaxed. She searched the entire room and saw the Maine Coon sleeping in the sunlight.

She walked over and squatted beside the Maine Coon, reaching out to scratch his soft stomach.

The Maine Coon opened his eyes and glanced at the two-legged beast that was touching him. When he realized that it was Yu Yao, he let out a soft cry and stood up. He circled and rubbed against Yu Yao’s legs twice to express his affection.

Yu Yao sat down on the thick carpet and began playing with the cat..
