Century Royal Forest was a famous high-end residential area in Jiang City. It was a gathering place for wealthy businessmen or elites. Those who could live here were almost all important figures.

Just like the Chu residence, it seemed remote, but the management of the residential area was very strict.

Security was also very tight.

Ye Qingran stood at the door and looked at the small villa in front of her, a little confused.

She had always thought that Chu Yan would rent a small apartment with a room and a living room for her to use.

She had never thought that she would move to such a high-end residential area and live directly in a villa.

However, it was a little far from the school. In the future, she would have to get up an hour earlier to go to school.

After following Chu Yan into the villa, she found traces of activity in the room. She could not help but blurt out, “Is this your house?”

“Sort of. I stay here occasionally.” It was not that he had not thought of renting an apartment for Ye Qingran, but it was very dangerous for a minor to live alone outside.

After thinking for a moment, he still arranged for her to stay here.

The room was empty anyway.

“If you say that you often don’t go home, do you always stay here when you don’t go back?”

“No.”

“Oh, a crafty rabbit has three burrows?” Ye Qingran teased.

“It’s just convenient.” Chu Yan knocked Ye Qingran on the head. “What are you thinking about all day long?”

Ye Qingran shook her head and made a face at him. Then, she began to tour the room.

Unlike the warmth of the Chu residence, the main part of the villa was made up of black and white rings. It was very similar to the style of her room. As she walked in it, it was as if she had not entered a book. It felt like she was in her own home, and she felt very relaxed. It was very comfortable.

She liked this place very much.

Ye Qingran smiled and looked at Chu Yan as she asked, “Brother, you’ve been so good to me and lent me your home. How should I repay you? Should I give you my body, or should I give you my body?”

Chu Yan looked at her indifferently. “I only like women.”

Ye Qingran let out a long ‘Oh’. “So you like women. How many women have you had?”

It did not seem like a big deal for men to ask such questions, but Chu Yan felt uncomfortable all over.

“Kid, don’t be so curious.”

“I’m not curious. I just want to say that I have a lot of experience in picking up girls. If you need, I can teach you a few moves. I’ll definitely help you get a beauty back.”

The words ‘a lot of experience’ sounded exceptionally harsh to Chu Yan’s ears.

How old was this child? He was not even eighteen yet, but he already looked like he had seen countless beauties. If he was any older, it would be a big deal. He had to be properly disciplined.

“It’s not just Ruoruo. You should break up with all your girlfriends. At your age, you should study hard and not fall in love.”

“Brother, please let me off.”

When Ye Qingran saw that Chu Yan had transformed into a stern parent, she immediately picked up the desserts she bought on the road and ran to the kitchen.

Not long after, she came out with a plate. On the plate was a serving of soufflé with milk sauce on it. There were two forks beside it. “Ruoruo said that the soufflé here is delicious, you should try it too.”

Chu Yan did not like sweets, so he rejected her directly. “No thanks.”

“I just ate a bite. It was especially delicious.” Ye Qingran scooped a piece of soufflé with a fork and then directly brought it to Chu Yan’s mouth. “Try it. It’s really good.”

Chu Yan pursed his thin lips tightly and did not move for a long time.

Ye Qingran muttered, “My hand is getting sore from lifting it.”

She moved her hand forward and gestured for Chu Yan to hurry up.

Chu Yan was extremely uncomfortable. He reluctantly opened his mouth and put the dessert into his mouth. It was very sweet, very greasy, and very unpalatable.

However, looking at Ye Qingran opposite him with her clear sparkling eyes looking at him with slight anticipation, if he were to tell the truth, the kid would probably be very disappointed.

He hesitated for a moment before replying with a soft “Hmm”.

Ye Qingran smiled. “I told you, it’s delicious, right? I’m not lying to you, right? Let’s split it equally.”

Chu Yan stood up. “You eat it yourself. I still have something to do and will be leaving first.”

Ye Qingran sent him out and waved goodbye to him.

Mu Qingxue, who was standing opposite him, saw everything and even secretly took photos with her phone.

She was so shocked that she froze on the spot when she saw that the two people in front of her were “reluctant” to part.

She did not react for a long time.

Long Junyao stood behind her and asked indifferently, “Do you know him?”

Mu Qingxue glanced at him, then, she replied hatefully, “That shorter man, his name is Ye Qingran. He’s the son of my enemy. He’s a bastard! He insulted me and made things difficult for me in school. I didn’t expect that he actually lived opposite your house.”

“He’s not the one living across from me.”

Long Junyao had once asked someone to investigate the person across from him. He was just an ordinary person without any family background.

Mu Qingxue was surprised. “Then why is he here? Do you know who that man is?”

She pointed at Chu Yan who had left.

“This man is called Chu Yan. After graduating from Jiang University, he interned at a financial company and is now a staff member of this company. I used to wonder how he could afford to live in such a small neighborhood. Now, it seems like he has something to do with the fourth young master of the Ye family.”

“You mean that this man and Ye Qingran have that kind of relationship?” Mu Qingxue was shocked and her face was filled with disbelief.

That man called Chu Yan did not look like an ordinary person no matter how much she looked at him.

Who knew that he was actually just a gigolo that Ye Qingran was keeping.

“What’s so strange about that? Who told you that a man would only like women? This fourth young master Ye... If I’m not wrong, he only has three to four girlfriends as a cover. What he really likes is a man. It’s this man that he kept here called Chu Yan. Those girlfriends are all targets to protect this man.”

Mu Qingxue’s face was filled with disbelief.

She recalled the scene of the two of them walking together. Although there were no overly intimate movements, it was just suggestive.

It was obvious that they were a couple.

She clutched her chest and looked uncomfortable. “Ye Qingran is actually gay. Oh my god, it’s so disgusting.”

Long Junyao reached out and pulled her into his embrace. He kissed her by her ear and said in amusement, “You’re scared just like that. You’re so innocent. There is a lot of darkness in this world that you don’t know about.”

“I just didn’t expect Ye Qingran to be so despicable...”

Mu Qingxue was furious. “Those girls really liked him, but he lied to them like that. Is he even human!”

Long Junyao looked at her with doting eyes. “What a silly girl.”

She hated Ye Qingran very much, but when he discovered his secret, the first thing he thought of was those innocent people.

He really didn’t know if she was kind or stupid.

He said indifferently, “Do whatever you want.”

Mu Qingxue said righteously, “I’m going to expose him and let everyone see his true colors. I’m going to stop him from continuing to deceive those girls!”
