Ye Jiayao tried her best to appear unaffected. The curious and suspicious looks these guys have do not bode well for her. This all seemed too planned. It was like she walked in on an ambush…  holy sh*t!  Was it possible that Chunfeng followed her yesterday?

“You know what, I can’t be bothered talking to you guys,” Ye Jiayao muttered sulkily, shrinking back to hide in the shadows. She could feel her face burning up.

Helian Jing looked at her meaningfully. “Yesterday, even when my brother mentioned that you were my benefactor, it did no good. It’s only when Brother Chunyu said that you and him…”

Ye Jiayao’s heart was beating so fast she was afraid that it’d jump out of her chest.  What the f*ck did Chunyu say?

Xia Chunfeng continued, “My brother said that he met you at Black Wind Ridge. Yaoyao, why were you at Black Wind Ridge?”

Ye Jiayao forced herself not to show her relief. They’re asking about Black Wind Ridge so that means…  they don’t know that I’m a girl.

“I was a chef there, of course!” Ye Jiayao responded blithely. “One day, when I was traveling, I was captured and brought to the mountains.”

At least, that was some semblance of the truth. She was abducted to the mountains, and she was indeed, Chunyu’s personal chef.

“Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” Helian Jing said.

“What is there to tell? My time up there was anything but good. I wanted to forget about it,” Ye Jiayao said bitterly.

“My brother said that you achieved great merit in defeating the Hei Feng Gang. Tell us, what was the situation like? Were the bandits there cruel?” Chunfeng asked, the interest clear in the sparkle of his eyes.

Ye Jiayao almost choked on her tongue. Chunyu does know how to talk nonsense. What possible merit could she have achieved?

“Of course, the bandits were cruel. And I really didn’t do anything. I just tipped him off,” she answered casually. Well, she wanted to tip him off, but she ended up relaying a trap instead. Oh, and she also got locked up by the underboss. Great times.

Zhao Qixuan said, “Hey, don’t sell yourself short. May it be war or business, the most important thing is information. An essential intelligence will determine a triumph. Li Yao, you are too humble and so indifferent to fame, it is admirable.”

Oh, no. I’m definitely not indifferent to fame.

“That’s just who Yaoayao is,” Helian Jing declared proudly.

“My brother said you saved him,” Chunfeng added.

Ye Jiayao raised a brow. It seemed like Chunyu was willing to use any excuse just to save her.

“It wasn’t like that, really. I just cooperated in a few acts with him. I wanted to save myself, too, you know,” she said humbly.

The three of them looked at her with obvious admiration.

“You’re making light of what happened. From what I know, the situation back then had been extremely dangerous. We heard that Bai Chongye was very sly and very cunning,” Helian Jing countered.

“Yes, that was what my brother said. The boss was always on guard around him,” Xia Chunfeng supported.

Zhao Qixuan cheered, “Li Yao, you are truly amazing! From now on, you are my brother!”

Xia Chunfeng raised his teacup and said, “Yaoyao, you are one of the few people I respect.”

Ye Jiayao had no other choice but to toast with them as she hid the shame she was feeling. If they were to find out the truth about her, how would they react?
