I was so startled I almost fell off the roof, steadied myself, and then gracefully jumped down, laughing awkwardly: “Well, let me first clarify, I didn’t mean to eavesdrop!”
Here’s the edited version of the article:
“Young Master, did something happen in the building that made you urgently summon us back?” A crisp voice came from a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl. Looking closely at her features, her eyebrows were like willow leaves, her eyes like autumn waves. A blue dress trailing on the ground, her cherry lips opening and closing with warmth, her breath delicate as an orchid.
“Indeed, Ying, it’s rare to see you so anxious. What’s going on?” The next voice came from a tall, handsome man, whose face was not visible.
“Xuan, Qian Yi, let me explain!” Bing Xi spoke up first: “Yan Yu Lou is fine, nothing has happened. The Young Master summoned you back because of a woman!”
“A woman? Xi, what are you saying?” Another woman’s charming voice rang out. I then noticed a girl lounging on a nearby green wooden chair, with curved eyebrows and sparkling eyes.
After hearing Bing Xi’s words, the woman immediately stood up, casting a puzzled look towards the mysterious figure.
“Xi, look how you’ve scared Butterfly!” Yuan Ye stood casually with crossed arms, leaning against a pillar.
So these three were Bing Xuan, Qian Yi, and Lian Butterfly that Bing Xi had mentioned yesterday. I didn’t expect Yan Yu Lou to be filled with such handsome men and beautiful women…
Bing Xi rolled her eyes at Yuan Ye, retorting sarcastically: “That’s just the fact, I didn’t say anything wrong!” It seemed this girl had quite a deep prejudice against me. I really didn’t understand what I’d done to offend her!
Everyone’s gaze immediately focused on me, with surprise, confusion, and anger. “What are you doing here?” Bing Xi glared at me sharply and demanded.
I blinked innocently, pretending to be confused as I looked at her, and said, “Miss Bing Xi, why are you always so unfriendly to me? I didn’t steal your man, so why do you keep targeting me? I’m here because I have something to discuss with your young master!”
“What could you possibly want?” Bing Xi looked me up and down suspiciously, her tone full of disdain.
