Little Sister-in-Law (1)

"Uh..." Ye Lang stopped, seemingly realizing that he had been exposed.

"Still so slow! Who sent you here alone? Aren't you afraid I'll catch you and kill you?" Zhao Yarou said calmly to Ye Lang.

"What? What did you say? I don't understand!" Ye Lang pretended to be stupid.

"Stop pretending, everyone knows who you are!" Zhao Yarou laughed.

"Damn, when did you find out?" Ye Lang asked Zhao Yarou beside him, puzzled.

"Actually, I recognized you the moment I saw you. Otherwise, do you think I would casually get involved with a strange man?" Zhao Yarou said, looking at Ye Lang.

Just as Cold-Blooded Fifth and the others had guessed, Zhao Yarou had indeed seen through Ye Lang immediately; she was no ordinary woman.

"Damn! I suspected you recognized me a long time ago. You're so strange. But why didn't you just call me out on it? And how did you recognize me? My makeup was perfect!" Ye Lang didn't seem nervous at all. He removed his disguise, and his familiar face appeared before everyone.

At that moment, many people were amazed. The makeup artist was amazing. Just by adding ears and hair, the person was completely transformed.

"Recognizing you is actually very simple. I will never forget your aura. No matter what you look like, I can recognize you! The reason I didn't expose you is because I wasn't confident I could keep you here. I didn't know your purpose for coming here, and I also wanted you to celebrate my birthday with me," Zhao Yarou said, looking at Ye Lang.

"Why would you ask me to celebrate your birthday with you? You can just celebrate it by yourself." Ye Lang was a little confused. Why was Zhao Yarou acting so strangely? He felt that there should have been many times when she could surround him, but she never did.

If she just wanted to know his purpose, that would be understandable, but asking him to spend her birthday with her is such a ridiculous excuse.

"I like it, it's none of your business!" Zhao Yarou said with a light laugh.

"Who cares about you? Since you're not going to expose me, then just keep pretending you don't know anything. I'll leave after I've finished what I'm doing. Do you still want to kill me now?" Ye Lang glanced at the surroundings and said nonchalantly.

"I never intended to kill you!!" Zhao Yarou suddenly shouted, her expression seemingly very agitated. Then she continued, "I want you to stay here. I'm going to lock you up and make sure you never escape my grasp for the rest of your life!!"

Ye Lang shivered, as if feeling a bit cold, and then he said, "You really are a perverted woman. I know you tortured me, trying to make me wish I were dead! Tch, don't think that just because this is your territory, I can't leave!"

"We'll talk about that later. Right now, I just want to ask you, why did you approach Li Yue?" Zhao Yarou asked.

When Zhao Yarou asked this question, Li Yue's body visibly trembled. She looked at Ye Lang, hoping that Ye Lang could give her a reason why she could forgive him.

"I'm pursuing her!" Ye Lang replied directly.

"... I know you're pursuing her. Why are you pursuing her? Don't tell me you like her. You pursued her because a street fortune teller said she was your future wife." Zhao Yarou said directly. She had investigated Ye Lang's affairs very thoroughly, and she had also found out this secret that few people knew.

Li Yue's body trembled again. Only now did she realize the reason why Ye Lang had pursued her before. She continued to look at Ye Lang, hoping that Ye Lang would deny it, because it was a real blow to her.

"Huh? How did you know about this? Only my sister and I know about this. It must be Little Seven, she tells you everything!" Ye Lang asked suspiciously, indirectly admitting that he knew about it.

"..."

Everyone fell silent. They all knew about this, but not the reason. Now that they knew, they felt that Ye Lang had become even stronger.

"You don't need to worry about that. I'm asking you, why are you pursuing Li Yue? You knew I was arresting you, yet you still dared to come back alone. There must be a very important reason behind this," Zhao Yarou said, looking at Ye Lang.

"This..." Ye Lang hesitated for a moment, feeling embarrassed to ask.

"Speak, Li Yue wants to know too. She won't blame you!" Zhao Yarou thought to herself, "She'll only kill you!"

Ye Lang looked at Li Yue...

"Did you come for the Heavenly Mechanism Armor?" Li Yue asked calmly. After learning Ye Lang's identity, she could imagine that Ye Lang had asked her for the Heavenly Mechanism Armor more than once.

"Ah, you know? Then give me the Heavenly Mechanism Armor so I can leave. I was almost there, but it was all because of you, Zhao Yarou, who ruined it." Ye Lang admitted, and then complained to Zhao Yarou.

"How did I cause trouble? You've been in the Imperial Garden for so long and I haven't even been there. That's already giving you enough face!" Zhao Yarou protested.

"Ye Lang, why do you want my Heavenly Mechanism Armor? If you want it, just say so. Why pretend to be pursuing me?!" Li Yue said coldly, and no one knew how much anger she was suppressing beneath her cold tone.

"I wanted to be more direct. Someone told me to pursue you, saying it would be better this way! If I had known it would turn out like this, I would have used my own method. What a waste of time!!" Ye Lang replied.

"Who told you to pursue me (her)?" Li Yue and Zhao Yarou asked at the same time. At this moment, Li Yue felt a little better. At least it wasn't Ye Lang's own choice, but someone else's. But it was only a little bit better.

They asked this question because they wanted to find out who came up with the idea. Li Yue did it for revenge, while Zhao Yarou did it to find out Ye Lang's accomplices.

Zhao Yarou felt that Ye Lang wouldn't have come alone; someone must have been with him. However, she never noticed any other people around Ye Lang.

Cold-Blooded Fifth and Athena are no ordinary people; Zhao Yarou's spies simply couldn't detect their presence!

"..." Ye Lang did not answer. How could he possibly answer that question?

"Your Majesty, I think the most important thing right now is how to deal with Ye Lang. If you want to reminisce, that should come later!" Li Tianjun said in a deep voice.

"How should we deal with him? Of course, we should arrest him and lock him up!" Zhao Yarou said calmly.

"Zhao Yarou, don't you think you're very close to me right now? If I take you hostage, wouldn't I be able to escape easily?" Ye Lang said casually, mimicking Zhao Yarou.

Zhao Yarou is right next to Ye Lang, less than a meter away. The two of them have been standing together ever since they released the Kongming Lantern.
