"Why are you here?" Just as Ye Yu was very surprised that Xue Nai had returned to the main house of the Xue Xia family at this moment, Xue Nai was also extremely confused when she saw Ye Yu...... At the same time, this confusion is mixed with an indescribable worry.

Although it is not clear at all who these guys who were invited to the house by their sister, their first impression of Yukino is...... Dangerous! Even if these guys all have smiles on their faces, and they don't show the slightest rudeness or recklessness when dealing with people, Yukino still thinks so...... And he is extremely sure of his judgment.

"...... from the rice" Ye Yu shrugged her shoulders at Xue Nai, and then said such a reason that was obviously used as a pretext by her...... Seeing that Ye Yu was indeed here to eat, there was absolutely no concealment or deception at this point, but he was only halfway through what he said.

Facing Xue Nai's distrustful gaze, Ye Yu smiled indifferently, in fact, he didn't need Xue Nai to believe anything, not to mention that in this state, it was undoubtedly difficult to gain her trust, which was almost a frightened bird, and the evidence was that today's Xue Nai and Ye Yu had seen anything they had seen were very different.

Today, Xue Nai is wearing a knee-length white and a beige knitted jacket, which adds a bit of mature charm to the 16-year-old. However, Ye Yu always firmly believes that the external performance of dressing up can reflect people's inner emotions from a certain angle, just as Xue Nai's usual conservative clothing symbolizes her closed heart.

Now the combination of this body is obviously deliberately selected by her, in order to let those strange guys not underestimate themselves too much and be strong, from another side, doesn't it show the anxiety in her heart now.

"Hmph...... "Since Ye Yu didn't want to say it, Xue Nai didn't bother to ask, through getting along for most of the last half a year, the only two things Xue Nai could be sure of were that Ye Yu was completely a mysterious guy, and he and his sister Yang Nai had always been in a state of disconnection. And just now he obviously entered the door with the European woman who was the leader, and as for the relationship between them, Xue Nai didn't bother to guess. But she is also extremely sure that there must be a connection between Ye Yu, Yang Nai and the woman named Kou Ko that she doesn't know.

At this time, Ye Yu no longer paid attention to the second lady of the Xuexia family, and went directly past her to greet the mercenaries who were sitting in the hall chatting. Speaking of it, the communication with these people is far more practical with fists than with words, and it just so happens that Ye Yu has more or less had a few fist-to-flesh exchanges with them...... Of course, it will definitely not be Ye Yu who will be beaten.

Even if she is the weaker party in cooperation, Yono has not depreciated herself to communicate with a group of bodyguards, or even if she wants to find something out of their mouths, there is no room for her to speak. So they let this group of guys act at will, but fortunately, they didn't do anything rude, and from beginning to end, they just asked Yang Nai for two bottles of wine and a few appetizers. I don't know if this is because of Koukou's instructions in advance, or if they have more or less understood a little bit of the relationship between Ye Yu and the Xuexia family and don't want to mess around.

But no matter what, this situation undoubtedly relieved Xue Nai, who had been nervous since before, and after that, she saw that Ye Yu easily blended into that group of people without knowing what method to use, drinking and laughing as if she had been friends for many years, but the heart that had always been hanging was unconsciously put down.

Even if she didn't want to, Xue Nai still had to admit in her heart that Ye Yu, who had always shown herself as a lazy person, had become the backbone of her heart at this moment......

The duffled atmosphere created by the dim lighting is complemented by the spirits, the rough laughter of the men, and the occasional soft clatter of wine glasses. All of this makes Yukino feel like she's not in some slightly bar, but not in her own mansion.

Such an atmosphere is naturally inappropriate for her to be involved as a woman, and at the same time, she does not have the necessary conditions to participate in it...... So after Ye Yu said to her, "Go and ask when dinner is good", she also left.

Before leaving the living room, Xue Nai couldn't help but glance back at Ye Yu, who was sitting on the sofa like the owner of the mansion, but in the end, she didn't know whether to be angry with his slightly sparrow nest or to thank him for coming, Xue Nai's heart was a little confused...... It's as if today's one-day experience has subverted the common sense she has accumulated in the past 16 years, whether it is those mercenaries, or Ye Yu, who is very familiar with those mercenaries...... Xue Nai asked herself that she shouldn't deal with these people for the rest of her life.

But now......

No matter what, she didn't want to run away from ...... Or hide behind Yang Nai or that man for the rest of his life......

―――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――――

Because it is to entertain important guests. Therefore, Yang Nai naturally instructed the chefs to prepare a dinner with sufficient specifications, not to boast that this dinner was extremely sincere, and no matter what the occasion was, it was definitely not inappropriate. And because of this, Ye Yu was able to wait patiently until 7 o'clock when dinner began...... In order to be able to eat a good meal, he is also quite unscrupulous.

But because it was a formal dinner, there was another very troublesome problem...... Who should sit at the table? It stands to reason that in the absence of Yang Nai's parents, it is naturally her eldest daughter who will receive the honor, but she doesn't seem to have this idea at all, but instead pushes Ye Yu to that position.

Ye Yu was not hypocritical, and seeing that Xue Nai was also noncommittal about such a distribution method. Shi Shiran sat in that position. Surprisingly, the head maid in charge of the entire mansion was only slightly surprised when she saw this result, and then showed a smile that should have been so...... The Ye Yu who looked at it was hairy in his heart.

In this way, the current seating arrangement has become Ye Yugao sitting in the first place, Kou Ko and Yang Nai sitting next to him on the left and right, and Xue Nai sitting next to her sister. As for the seating of those mercenaries, they are very arbitrary, and they are obviously not the protagonists of this dinner.

Sitting in that seat also means that Ye Yu represents the face of the family under the snow at this moment. Naturally, he knew this better than anyone else. If he could, with his temperament, he would naturally push it clean, but now he can't let the two girls show up, right...... Although he was also a little secretly angry, why did Yang Nai recruit this group of guys to the house.

After all the dishes were served, and everyone present had poured wine into their glasses, Ye Yu took the lead in raising the glass, and then the eyes of the rest of the people looked at his position together. If you are an ordinary person, you will inevitably feel apprehensive at this time, but Ye Yu has burst out of a calm and profound temperament because of this, even if he is wearing just a set of ordinary clothes that add up to only tens of thousands of yen, but just looking at his eyes that seem to be smiling is enough to make anyone dare not underestimate it.
