Chapter 34: If You Didn’t Look, How Did You Know That My Pants Were Short?

When Su Ye came in, everyone in the mansion fell silent. The originally lively atmosphere instantly became awkward.
Only Qi Yu’s heart skipped a beat when he saw Little Ruo being unusually close to him.
Su Ye was dressed in a white cotton T-shirt and short jeans with a normal cut. Her outfit to the birthday party had received less consideration compared to the one she wore for fertilizing the Seven Deities.
But her legs were long and fair, and there was no need for her to put on any accessories. She just needed to stand there, and she would be so dazzling that no one could look away.

This was especially so when she stood among ladies who wore long dresses. She stood out like a sore thumb.
Rong Ruo moved closer to Qi Yu and looked at Su Ye walking toward her. She patted the seat beside her. “Ye Ye, come sit with us.”
No one wanted to talk to Su Ye, so when Rong Ruo mentioned that she wanted Su Ye to sit with her, she appeared really considerate.
She thought that Su Ye would sit beside her gratefully, but to her surprise, Su Ye cast a glance at the seat that would definitely make her feel uncomfortable and moved past Rong Ruo. With a turn, she went to the side and sat in the chair for honored guests.
The ladies instantly moved their chairs away from Su Ye, as if they were moving away from the plague.
“My God, does she really think she’s the daughter-in-law of the Bo family? My husband’s family has worked for decades with the Bo family, and even I wouldn’t dare sit there.”
“Little Ruo is kind enough to get her out of the embarrassing situation, but she refused her kindness? What a worrisome character.”
Rong Ruo’s hands around Qi Yu’s elbow turned stiff. Just then, when Su Ye entered the backyard and sat down, she hadn’t spared even a glance for Qi Yu. Even when she linked their arms together, it did not annoy her.
Qi Yu saw the minor changes in Rong Ruo’s expression. He gritted his teeth and looked at Su Ye with disdain. He could not help but say, “Su Ye, didn’t you hear what Little Ruo said to you just now?”
As someone who once shared a close relationship with Su Ye in the past, Qi Yu felt that he had to stand up to uphold justice.
When Su Ye did not say a word, he sighed and went closer to her. He whispered, “Su Ye, I know that it was a huge shock to you when I got together with Little Ruo. But you should vent your anger at me. Little Ruo is innocent, so you—”

Su Ye looked up at Qi Yu, and he stopped talking.
He thought that she had decided to listen to him, but the next second, she said expressionlessly, “You have the freedom to speak, but when you do, please stay far away from me.”
She fancied some voices, but Qi Yu’s voice was not pleasant at all. Yet he kept on talking to her, which made her head swim.
“What?” Qi Yu could not believe what he heard. Su Ye always listened to him in the past and did not retort no matter what he said. Why would she ask him to stay far away from her today?
He had drawn closer to show her some respect!
Qi Yu sized her up. “Su Ye, why have you become like this? Look at how you’re dressed. It’s Master Bo’s birthday party today, and you’re wearing such short pants! It’s not appropriate!”
Su Ye looked at him askance. Then, before his puzzled glance, she crossed her legs and turned away while reaching for a handkerchief on the table to cover her peerlessly beautiful legs.
Then, she looked past Qi Yu at Rong Ruo. With slight scorn in her voice, she said, “Keep your boyfriend on a leash. He’s staring at other people’s legs in broad daylight. Doesn’t he know that it’s rude?”
“You—!” Qi Yu cast a glance at the ladies whispering to each other, and his face instantly turned red. “When have I stared at your legs?”
Su Ye put on a surprised expression. “If you didn’t look, how did you know that my pants are short?”
