Chapter 262, didn’t have evil thoughts about him that time (fourth watch of the night)

Wei Xi cleared his throat with a soft cough and gave Wei Bei a sideways glance, signaling him to speak first.

Wei Bei glared at him and bumped him with his hand.

Their subtle movements didn’t escape Ye Jiuliang’s notice, and a faint smile tugged at her rosy lips.

She walked over and took a seat on the couch.

She commanded, "Sit down."

Wei Xi and Wei Bei exchanged looks and sat down next to each other.

With hands on their knees and backs straight, they had the posture of model students.

Ye Jiuliang watched, her eyes sparkling with mirth.

She asked, "Do you want to ask why I broke into Mo Garden that night?"

Wei Xi and Wei Bei were taken aback, seemingly surprised that she would bring up the topic proactively.

Since she mentioned it, Wei Bei mustered up his courage and asked, "Wasn’t it for my master?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Jiuliang couldn’t help but joke, "No matter how handsome your master is, he’s not enticing enough for me to climb walls in the middle of the night."

"But you said that you’ve admired the master for a long time," Wei Bei reminded her gloomily.

Ye Jiuliang, "..."

Did they really have to remember her slip of the tongue so clearly?

"That was just a playful remark."

"Madam, then what was it really for?" Wei Xi got to the heart of the matter.

Ye Jiuliang replied, "The Heart of the Sea Sapphire."

"All for that Heart of the Sea?" Wei Bei found it hard to believe.

"It’s very important to my friend," she explained lightly.

Wei Xi also found it hard to believe, "Is that really all it was?"

Ye Jiuliang nodded, jokingly adding, "Don’t worry, your master may be attractive, but I had no ill intentions towards him at the time."

Wei Xi and Wei Bei looked at each other and inexplicably felt like laughing.

"No ill intentions, yet how did you end up with the master?" Wei Xi muttered.

He thought he was whispering quietly, but Ye Jiuliang still heard him.

She raised an eyebrow, crossed her legs lazily, and said in a relaxed yet unrestrained tone, "Wei Bei, back then you were always with Li Mochan, weren’t you? It was he who pursued me, right?"

Wei Bei touched his nose, "Seems like it."

Who else could be blamed?

It was his master’s own lack of resistance to blame.

Ye Jiuliang, sipping through a straw, asked, "Any more questions?"

"Then who exactly are you, madam?" Wei Xi asked curiously.

Facing their identically curious expressions, Ye Jiuliang grinned mischievously, "Want to know?"

Both of them nodded at the same time.

"Go find out for yourselves," said Ye Jiuliang with a mischievous smile.

Wei Xi didn’t bother to hide the disappointment on his face, "Madam, you know we can’t find out."

Ye Jiuliang looked at them meaningfully, "So you’ve already tried."

Wei Xi covered his mouth, realizing he had slipped up.

"Well, madam, that’s not what we meant," he tried to backpedal.

Ye Jiuliang waved her hand, not bothering to care, "I don’t mind that you’ve looked into me, it’s only natural. I know you are just concerned for Li Mochan’s safety."

Relieved, Wei Xi let out a breath.

"So, madam, do you have any other identities?" Since it was already out there, Wei Bei boldly asked.

Ye Jiuliang crushed the empty milk carton, tossing it casually into the trash bin, and began to speak calmly and unhurriedly, "You can look into my background as much as you’d like, but there is one thing I can assure you: my only reason for being with Li Mochan is that I took a fancy to him. For the first time in my life, Ye Jiuliang wanted to claim someone as her own, and that’s it."

Wei Xi and Wei Bei were stunned, looking into her clear eyes, unsure of what to say.

After a moment, Wei Bei snapped back to reality and from his angle, he could see a figure outside the door becoming clearer, "Madam, may I ask one more question?"

Ye Jiuliang was very forthright, "Go ahead."
