Ye Fei was feeling quite smug, momentarily forgetting about the presence of his little sister, Ye Yunqi, who shared his thoughts and feelings. Realizing his blunder, he turned toward her and flashed a goofy grin.
Ye Yunqi couldn't help but laugh at his expression, and her earlier display of jealousy quickly vanished.
Ye Fei, knowing she wasn't genuinely upset, decided to play along. In a low voice, he asked, "What are you talking about? What greedy pig?"
Ye Yunqi rolled her eyes playfully, leaning in close so only the two of them could hear. "Oh, don't play dumb! You've got me and Lingling, and yet you're still eyeing Teacher Yu like that. You're nothing but a greedy pig!"
Feigning innocence, Ye Fei continued his act. "What? What did I do to the teacher?"
"Don't even try to deny it! I can see it in your eyes," Ye Yunqi whispered, her cheeks turning pink. "When you look at Teacher Yu, it's the same look you get when you... well, see someone without clothes on."
Ye Fei grinned, realizing there was no hiding from his sharp-eyed sister. Instead of denying it, he switched tactics. "Hmm, is my little Qiqi jealous?"
"I'm not jealous at all," Ye Yunqi replied with a giggle. "It might be nice to have an older woman like her around to help take care of you. After all, Lingling and I can't handle everything."
She chuckled again before adding, "But Teacher Yu is close with Aunt. Aren't you worried she'll tell on you? And you know what they say about women her age—they've got pretty big... needs. Don't you think you might wear yourself out?"
Ye Fei smirked, recalling their previous night together. "Wear myself out? Please, I think I remember who was exhausted last night." With a mischievous grin, he took Ye Yunqi's hand and placed it on the hard bulge in his pants. "See? Still full of energy."
As Ye Yu approached, Ye Fei thought to himself, *If this idiot weren't so obsessed with trying to take over the Ye family's assets, he could have lived quite well as a pretty boy for some rich woman. But since he's hell-bent on opposing us, the only place left for him is a shallow grave.
"Brother Yu, what brings you here?" Despite his inner thoughts, Ye Fei greeted him with a bright smile. His genuine expression made Ye Yu's smile look even more insincere. Ye Fei had the kind of charm that would make anyone think he was a pure and innocent boy.
Ye Fei's friendly demeanor seemed to make Ye Yu relax, and he greeted Ye Yunqi and Lin Ling. "Qiqi, Ling'er, don't you recognize your Brother Yu?"
"Brother Yu," Ye Yunqi responded sweetly. Although she knew her brother planned to deal with Ye Yu eventually, she played along to avoid suspicion. Her unusually polite response, however, made Ye Fei frown slightly. Ye Yu was a sly character, and it wouldn't be good if he picked up on anything.
Luckily, Lin Ling wasn't aware of Ye Fei's plans and remained as cold as ever toward Ye Yu, showing no change in her demeanor.
Seeing Lin Ling's frosty attitude, Ye Yu felt a stab of irritation, though he quickly masked it. He took a seat next to them, smoothing his expression before speaking again. "Xiaoman, I came here to see you today. Remember the last time we talked? I promised to invite you over. Well, today's the day.
A group of my friends have put together a few events, and they're eager to meet the real son of the Ye family."
"Sounds good to me. I've been feeling a bit bored anyway," Ye Fei replied with a casual smile. He made no attempt to correct Ye Yu's remark about being the real son. The more he acted like a carefree playboy, the more Ye Yu would lower his guard, allowing Ye Fei to discover more about his cousin's schemes.
Satisfied with Ye Fei's response, Ye Yu turned to Lin Ling and said with a smile, "Ling'er, mind if I borrow your fiancé for the day? I promise I'll return him to you in one piece tomorrow."
Lin Ling narrowed her eyes, her icy demeanor unshaken. She wasn't fooled by Ye Yu's friendly words. "Take him," she replied co
ldly. "Just make sure he comes back in the same condition."
