C12 The indifferent ye yanran

This is that Ye Qing?

Ye Yanran looked at Ye Qing, who had dismounted from his horse, and calmly sized him up.

She wasn't very tall, about 1.7 meters or so, and now she wore cloth shoes that were almost the same size as his.

As for his appearance, it wasn't that great either. It was completely ordinary and looked like a commoner.

Especially her body. It was so thin that it looked as if it could be blown by the wind. It was impossible to see how she practiced martial arts at such a young age. It seemed that her mother must have been fooled by her good sister.

If it weren't for the messy luxurious clothes that he wore, he would look like a noble young master. Otherwise, when he took off the luxurious clothes, he would have thought that some slave had escaped from his master's mansion.

Thinking up to this point, a hint of disdain flashed across Ye Yanran's eyes.

'This Ye Qing doesn't seem to be capable at all. Compared to Shen Longfei and the rest, he is far inferior. Ye Yanran secretly shook her head and took half a step back to open up some distance between her and Ye Qing.

Shen Longfei, who was being compared by Ye Yanran to Ye Qing, was a classmate of Ye Yanran's. He was the son of Min Prefecture City's Deputy Protector, and was one of the influential figures in the Prefecture City Institution.

In Ye Yanran's heart, whether it was appearance or family background, Shen Longfei was one of the best. Even ten or a hundred Ye Qing wouldn't be able to compare to him.

And an outstanding person like Shen Longfei was only one of the people she, Ye Yanran, was seeking. What qualifications did this Ye Qing have to make her, Ye Yanran, be with him?

'If it wasn't for my mother's face, I would have already had my guards chase him away. How could I let him get so close to me if I were to meet such people normally … '

The dissatisfied Ye Yanran shook her head again and took another half step back.

However, at this time, Aunt Ye was smiling as she pulled Ye Qing along. With a very satisfied expression on her face, she introduced Ye Yanran to Ye Qing and said:

Xiaoqing, this is my daughter, Ye Yanran. She is seventeen years old like you, but she is younger than you by two months.

"Alright, Aunt Ye. Yanran will be my younger sister in the future. I will protect her." Ye Qing smiled and nodded.

Finished speaking, Ye Qing glanced at Ye Yanran. She was someone he liked when he was young, had been injured, and had eventually forgotten about.

Ye Yanran!

In all seriousness, she was the first girl that he had fallen in love with in his previous life.

'I, at that time, came to this bustling county city from a remote place, and I was unfamiliar with this place. To suddenly see a girl like Ye Yanran, who was raised in a wealthy family in the upper echelons, who was so beautiful, coupled with Aunt Ye's matchmaking and my mother's hope, I naturally had fantasies in my heart.

Looking at Ye Yanran, Ye Qing couldn't help but think back to his youth from his previous life, and he felt that it was a little funny.

'Unfortunately, given her high standards, how could she have fallen for the me at that time? If I remember correctly, at that time, the one she liked was the county governor's son, Shen Longfei. Afterwards, the two of them were admitted to the Grand Academies in Beijing. They had a long relationship which made me, who failed in both the civil and military rankings, dispirited for a period of time … "Now that I think about it, it's really childish."

Towards him, Ye Yanran was only the daughter of his Aunt Ye, nothing special.

If she wanted his help, it would be fine to conveniently protect him.

'But with her personality, she's only begging Shen Longfei.

Thinking of the time when he had dismounted from his horse and spoken to Aunt Ye, Ye Yanran's manner of shaking her head and backing off, Ye Qing laughed coldly in his heart.
