Chapter 226: Confident Senior Qing Yi

He still had to go pick out a gift for Belle, so he couldn't stay here and keep the barrier up for Zhu Yuan; he could only use earplugs instead.

After finishing the earplug installation, Ye Qingfeng let out a long sigh of relief. Fearing that Zhu Yuan might wake up halfway, he looked up at Senior Qing Yi and made a gesture for them to go outside and talk.

Senior Qing Yi nodded slightly, covered Eous's mouth, stood up, and followed Ye Qingfeng out of the office.

When they reached the entrance of the Public Security Bureau, Senior Qing Yi let go of Eous's mouth, scooped it into her arms with both hands, and glanced at Ye Qingfeng with satisfaction.

"I have to say, it has to be you. Trying to get Zhu Yuan to rest is harder than ascending to heaven, yet you got it done in just a few minutes."

Hard to hide a sigh, only you are extraordinary.

Persuading Zhu Yuan to rest, harder than climbing a mountain.

You didn't need much peace, the matter is already settled. (Senior Qing Yi's persona speaking style)

"Small matter." Ye Qingfeng turned around stylishly and smugly, but his expression froze instantly when he saw Eous in Senior Qing Yi's arms.

He wouldn't be jealous of a Bangboo, but he had originally planned to use the opportunity of buying a gift to have a sweet date with Senior Qing Yi.

Thinking of the scene with Eous following them, he felt it was troublesome just thinking about it...

Not to mention it disturbing him, the key was that Eous would go back and tattle to Belle.

This child must not be kept!

"What's wrong?" Senior Qing Yi frowned.

"Nothing, just remembered that Eous needs to be charged. Shall we go to the charging station first?"

"Alright." Although Senior Qing Yi was a bit reluctant, Eous was Ye Qingfeng's Bangboo, so she couldn't say much.

Ye Qingfeng walked down the street with Senior Qing Yi and quickly found a charging station specifically for Bangboo.

Seeing there was an empty spot, Ye Qingfeng's eyes lit up. He pulled Eous directly from Senior Qing Yi's arms and, ignoring its resistance, forcibly plugged it into the charging station.

Eous looked at Ye Qingfeng in disbelief, as if to say: You dog!!!

Ye Qingfeng hummed lightly, made a childish face at Eous, then grabbed Senior Qing Yi's hand and walked away quickly without looking back.

Senior Qing Yi let Ye Qingfeng lead her along; she didn't mind holding hands, and besides, if she refused...

She always felt that something even more troublesome would happen.

With Ye Qingfeng's shameless personality, Senior Qing Yi seriously suspected that he would... on the street...

"So... why did you come over today?" Senior Qing Yi glanced at Ye Qingfeng inadvertently and asked casually, "Did you come specifically for Zhu Yuan or for me?"

"If I said I came specifically for you, would Senior Qing Yi jump up with joy like a child?"

Ye Qingfeng scratched Senior Qing Yi's palm with his finger, not answering her question directly, but asking back instead.

"Not at all. However, if you could show me a little more respect in the future, I would be very happy." Senior Qing Yi looked ahead and said in a flat tone.

"Eh~ Senior Qing Yi is so humorless, be careful you won't find a man in the future~"

Ye Qingfeng sighed and teased her faintly.

"No need to worry, I have no intention of finding a man."

As she said this, Senior Qing Yi tried to pull her hand away and asked back with annoyance: "What exactly do you have going on? How about going to the park for some tea?"

"No, come shopping with me." Ye Qingfeng noticed Senior Qing Yi's movement and tightened his grip instantly, not giving her half a chance to escape.

"Fine." Seeing that struggling was fruitless, Senior Qing Yi stopped resisting and agreed indifferently.

It wasn't that she didn't want to go shopping with Ye Qingfeng, nor did she have any ill intentions toward him; she just preferred finding a quiet place to drink tea over shopping.

Ye Qingfeng and Senior Qing Yi strolled down the street, and when they encountered a shop they were interested in, he would pull her inside for a look.

During this time, Ye Qingfeng brought up his true purpose for coming.

"In other words, you dragging me shopping is actually to buy a gift for another girl?" Senior Qing Yi wasn't dissatisfied because of this, just glanced at Ye Qingfeng casually. "You're quite honest."

"That's right, other things aside, my greatest strength is honesty." Ye Qingfeng naturally heard Senior Qing Yi's teasing and boasted along with her words.

"Really?"

"Really!"

"You... forget it. Is it that girl from last time?" Senior Qing Yi paused, wanting to say something, then continued: "Her name is Belle, right?"

"Yes."

"You and her?"

"Boyfriend and girlfriend relationship."

Senior Qing Yi's body trembled, performing a "Zhen Dao" (parry) technique for Ye Qingfeng.

"Does... does Zhu Yuan know?" Senior Qing Yi lowered her voice and asked.

"Not yet." As he said this, Ye Qingfeng's eyes lit up, and he pulled Senior Qing Yi into a shop.

"You don't intend to tell Zhu Yuan? Besides, aren't you afraid I'll tell on you?"

Senior Qing Yi's attention was entirely on the current topic, subconsciously thinking Ye Qingfeng just wanted to go into the shop for a look, so she followed him in without thinking much.

She didn't notice the name of this shop at all—Claws...

"Hmm~ feel free, but..." Ye Qingfeng paused rarely, stunned for two seconds before continuing: "I don't intend to tell Zhu Yuan for the time being; let's wait a while. As for whether you'll tell on me—I believe you won't."

Ye Qingfeng emphasized the last two words, giving Senior Qing Yi a feeling of absolute certainty, as if he were sure she wouldn't say anything.

"Oh~ before I go back, you'd better have a way to make me keep it a secret voluntarily, otherwise I will definitely tell Zhu Yuan about this." Senior Qing Yi curled the corners of her mouth slightly, looking like she would do what she said.

Clearly, after this set of tactics from Ye Qingfeng, Senior Qing Yi, who originally had no interest in this matter, now burst with great interest.

Originally, she didn't intend to tell Zhu Yuan, but in a split second, since Ye Qingfeng had said so, she wanted to see what he was capable of.

Besides! Opportunities to catch this guy's handle were rare!

Senior Qing Yi had to seize the opportunity well.

"You definitely want to know why I'm so confident, right?" Ye Qingfeng curled his lips without concealment, let go of the hand he was holding, walked slowly in front of Senior Qing Yi, leaned down, and whispered, "Come here, I'll tell you."

Senior Qing Yi frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, then smoothed her brows, stepped forward, pricked up her ears, and said confidently: "Let's hear it~"

Ye Qingfeng's current attitude clearly told Senior Qing Yi that he had a conspiracy and wasn't even hiding it; it just depended on whether she chose to fall for it.

But who was Senior Qing Yi?

Although she was mostly low-key and calm, those who really tried to clash with her were still eating prison food inside.

Secondly, in her previous contacts with Ye Qingfeng, she had never seen him show his true strength, so she considered him not to be feared; she believed she could easily handle him and wasn't afraid of conspiracies under absolute strength.

Ye Qingfeng didn't expect Senior Qing Yi to have so little vigilance, or was she just too confident, or did she think he wouldn't play dirty?

But well~ looking down on people requires a price, Senior Qing Yi-chan~!
