520 Causing Myself Trouble
He chuckled immediately.
“Ye Chenglin, how much confidence do you have? I admit I look at you differently.”
“You admit it? You—”
“But can’t you f*cking tell that I’m looking at you warily?”
Ye Chenglin was about to say something when she heard Yan Qin’s blunt words. The corners of her mouth stiffened.
“You—”
Rage lodged in her throat, and she nearly vomited blood.
Wary? Yan Qin actually said he’s been looking at me warily? Come to think of it, it does seem like it. Yan Qin always looked at me suspiciously whenever I appeared by Master’s side.
I always thought Yan Qin was jealous of Master because he likes me!
She refused to believe him and questioned him loudly, “That’s impossible! I didn’t do anything to you. Why are you wary of me?”
She no longer cared if anyone was watching her make a fool of herself. She only wanted the truth. She had to force Yan Qin to admit that he liked her.
“That’s because you always use different excuses to get close to Master.” Yan Qin sneered, and his disdain was obvious.
Would he have had to be wary of her every day if she had not been shameless and tried to take advantage of their master? Did she think he was happy about this?
“If I remember correctly, you’ve tried at least three times to get Master drunk with alcohol or drug him with food, right?
“Unfortunately, you were never successful. Master never eats your food; it is always thrown away.
“Ye Chenglin, do you think you’d still be here if it weren’t for Chengzong? Master would have dealt with you long ago, but you still have the cheek to say that I like you!
“You may be shameless, but I’m not! Why would I like a woman like you? Isn’t there already enough trouble at Huayan Peak? Why would I get involved with a huge troublemaker like you and end up causing myself even more trouble?
“I remember Chengzong reminding you several times to know your place. Don’t you even take your brother’s words to heart?”
Upon hearing Yan Qin’s words, everyone began pointing fingers at Ye Chenglin.
“Oh my god, what’s going on?”
“You actually want to drug Master? Are you crazy?”
“I thought Ye Chenglin had brought food to Master only to please him. I wasn’t expecting her to be so daring as to drug him!”
“It’s a good thing Master didn’t hold it against her. If he did, the consequences would be… How can she be so bold? Does she have nothing to fear just because Chengzong became a captain?”
Ye Chengzong was the captain of their camp. He was in charge of one of the protected grounds, and their master thought highly of him.
However, to be honest, they did not think Ye Chengzong would hold a grudge against their master over his biological sister if she caused trouble. After all, the siblings did not have a good relationship.
Ye Chenglin was a self-centered person. Ye Chengzong was often exhausted to the point of being half-dead when he returned from the protected grounds, yet she would still instruct him to do this and that.
They could tell that Ye Chengzong was unhappy, but he still did whatever she asked him to.
Was that why Ye Chenglin believed Ye Chengzong would feel animosity toward their master because of her?
