Ye Yang's assumptions were on point. There was a smirk on Qian Yurou's face when she asked, "And why do you think I should believe you?"
He fell silent for a moment. Obviously, there was no reason for her to believe him.
Seeing how Ye Yang wouldn't speak, Qian Yurou chuckled. "If you come up with a better lie next time, maybe I'll believe you."
Qian Yurou got ready to leave after saying that.
Ye Yang reacted swiftly by grabbing Qian Yurou's wrist as he got up. "There's no reason for me to make up such lies. Now that things have gone haywire, do you really have to go there and put yourself in grave danger?"
Qian Yurou was stunned. For a moment there, she even wanted to agree with Ye Yang. She knew that there was nothing wrong with his statement. Since the robbery had already happened and she wasn't the police, she could be of no assistance whatsoever if she went over.
However, Qian Yurou couldn't allow herself to stay put and do nothing.
Realizing that Ye Yang meant her no harm, Qian Yurou's expression softened. She smiled at Ye Yang, and this time, she spoke with a more polite tone, without the hint of sarcasm that was present prior to this moment. "Thank you anyway. Still, I have to go no matter what, but I will be on the lookout."
Ye Yang was out of ideas. Although Qian Yurou had changed her attitude toward him, she was still cautious of him. Hence, she couldn't possibly trust him completely.
Being quick-witted, Ye Yang whispered into Qian Yurou's ear, "I know about you and Little Bing."
Qian Yurou was truly dumbstruck, clearly not expecting her connection with Huang Ruobing to be found out so soon. Finally, she took a good look at Ye Yang.
Qian Yurou had a good memory. Without much difficulty, she immediately recognized Ye Yang as Huang Ruobing's boyfriend who had been causing so much uproar in the community as of late.
"You're Little Bing's boyfriend?" Qian Yurou was evidently concerned about this.
At her reaction, Ye Yang breathed a sigh of relief before nodding in agreement. "Yes."
Ye Yang's recent endeavors could be said to have left a bloody path in the community. Although many people didn't know what he looked like, they had undoubtedly heard of his name before.
For this reason, Qian Yurou heaved a sigh of relief before asking, "Did Little Bing tell you about our relationship?"
Both women had strong family backgrounds, hence, they had to make sure to keep their relationship a secret. Qian Yurou didn't expect that Huang Ruobing would reveal the truth to Ye Yang.
"No."
Ye Yang shook his head. In fact, to him, it wasn't that difficult to obtain such secrets. However, these things were considered taboo for many people.
Ye Yang wouldn't commit this taboo, but he didn't want Huang Ruobing to take the blame either so he denied it.
In truth, Qian Yurou knew that Huang Ruobing wouldn't easily expose their relationship to Ye Yang as well. After all, Ye Yang was considered her rival in love.
"I will help you catch the perpetrators who robbed the gold store," Ye Yang promised Qian Yurou.
Qian Yurou wanted to leave, but after hearing Ye Yang's words, she felt that she should calm down for now. Ye Yang was right, even if she went over, she couldn't be of any assistance.
It was also at this moment that Qian Yurou smiled faintly at Ye Yang after hearing him out. She replied, "The police will get them."
Qian Yurou wasn't lying to Ye Yang. Robbing gold stores wasn't something that could possibly happen in the power struggles between the upper-class. Hence, Qian Yurou had never considered this possibility.
"What if this had been a scheme all along?" Looking at Qian Yurou, Ye Yang didn't understand how she could behave so nonchalantly as if it didn't matter to her.
After that, Ye Yang understood that Qian Yurou still had doubts about him.
Ye Yang didn't find this offensive because it was only their first meeting. To speak of trust would be like trying to grab a pie in the sky.
If this was a scheme from the start, that would mean trouble for Qian Yurou. If it was a scheme, it meant that the plotting was complete, up to the escape route that the robbers took.
Something like this was no doubt difficult to trace. Even if the police were to investigate in this direction, it would be hard for them to reach the mastermind of the whole plot.
When Qian Yurou linked the two incidents together, she sighed. The Qian family would never allow themselves to be conspired against this way. Hence, her gaze at Ye Yang appeared to be rather conflicted.
It seemed like she was trying to grasp the weight of the matter.
Ye Yang wasn't conflicted by her behavior. He just sat there in silence.
Although everyone else around was here to attend the wedding, many nosy people had their eyes on Ye Yang. From their perspective, Qian Yurou and Huang Ruobing were best friends, and Ye Yang might just be having presumptuous thoughts about Qian Yurou.
Both women were considered difficult to court within their social circle. Just then, some of the onlookers came over to check up on Ye Yang. "What are you guys talking about?"
"Nothing, We're just thinking of preparing a surprise present for Little Bing," Ye Yang casually answered to cover up. Although the others were nosy, they remembered where they were. So even if Ye Yang's answer wasn't satisfying, they weren't permitted to cause a scene.
After all, to cause a scene at a wedding would spell disaster for both factions.
Especially if Qian Yurou remained silent, it meant that she was acquiescing to it.
Seeing as there was no drama for them to watch, the onlookers went away.
Qian Yurou wanted to say something to Ye Yang, but all of a sudden, her phone rang. Qian Yurou held up her phone to see that it was a call from Huang Ruobing.
