Ye Yunqi teased with a mischievous grin, "If it's not that, then why are you sitting in this spot? This is the seat of my brother's fiancée, Lin Ling. By sitting here, aren't you trying to replace her?"
"I... I don't know. I just saw that it was empty and sat here," Li Xiaoyan stammered, startled and flustered.
Part of it was shyness, and part of it was fear that Ye Yunqi and the others might misunderstand.
After all, they were closer to Lin Ling. If they developed any hostility towards her because of this, it would be unfair. "I'll move right away!"
But Ye Yunqi grabbed Li Xiaoyan's arm as she was about to get up and gather her things, laughing, "Oh come on, I'm just joking. We all know you didn't mean it. But my brother might not see it that way. Men, they're all fickle creatures!"
