Volume 4: Counterattack: Bright Star Road Chapter 230 Ye Qiao gets into trouble and is punished by Yuan Xudong

"Happy birthday, Orange!"

"Su Cheng, happy birthday!"

“Thank you, thank you everyone!”

…

Hearing Su Cheng's voice, Ye Qiao, Zhao Ruoxi, and Liu Mengtian came back to their senses and offered their blessings and apologies. Except for Yuan Xudong, no one knew that today was Su Cheng's birthday, and no one had prepared birthday gifts, so they could only offer blessings. Su Cheng blinked his red eyes, pulled Ye Qiao, Zhao Ruoxi, and Liu Mengtian to his birthday cake, and said with a slightly crying smile:

"Okay, being able to celebrate your birthday with you is the best birthday present. Let's blow out the candles together!"

"Okay, let's blow out the candles together!"

Yuan Xudong stood on Su Cheng's right, Ye Qiao, Liu Mengtian, and Zhao Ruoxi stood on Su Cheng's left. After Yuan Xudong shouted one, two, three, they blew out the candles together and played for a while. Then Su Cheng began to cut the cake and everyone got a small piece of birthday cake.

Looking at the remaining birthday cake, Ye Qiao's eyes rolled around. While everyone was not paying attention, she scooped a large piece of cream mixed with strawberries from the birthday cake, and then smeared it on Yuan Xudong's face. Looking at Yuan Xudong with cream all over his face and a strawberry in his mouth, Ye Qiao laughed out loud, squatted beside the birthday cake with her hands on her stomach, and the others were stunned for a moment and then burst into laughter.

"interesting!"

Yuan Xudong raised a wicked smile, took a bite of the strawberry in his mouth, held the rest in his hand, and simply cleaned the cream on his face. Seeing Ye Qiao still squatting beside the birthday cake with a stomachache from laughing, he stuffed the strawberry in his hand into her mouth, and scooped a large piece of cream from the side to smear on her face. Looking at Ye Qiao who was as embarrassed as himself, Yuan Xudong laughed deliberately, hiding behind Su Cheng and mocking her:

"Ye Qiao, are the strawberries delicious?"

"you……"

Looking at the complacent Yuan Xudong, Ye Qiao stood up from the birthday cake, scooped out a large piece of cream cake and threw it to him, saying:

"Yuan Xudong, I'm going to fight you!"

"Ye Qiao, Xudong, please don't..."

Bang~~

Su Cheng stood in front of Yuan Xudong and was about to persuade Yuan Xudong and Ye Qiao to stop making trouble when a large piece of cream cake flew over and splashed on her face. She wiped the birthday cake off her face and saw Yuan Xudong standing beside her with a gloating look on his face. Su Cheng was so angry that she splashed all the cream on his face and hands on him. Ye Qiao, who was standing by, also took the opportunity to join in and bully the weak Yuan Xudong together with Su Cheng, while not forgetting to greet Liu Mengtian and Zhao Ruoxi who were standing by.

Seeing that Yuan Xudong, Su Cheng and Ye Qiao were having so much fun and didn't look angry at all, Liu Mengtian and Zhao Ruoxi looked at each other, then joined the fight with laughter. The four women threw cream on Yuan Xudong together, letting Yuan Xudong experience what it felt like to be alone.

"Alright, I surrender, ladies, spare my life!"

Yuan Xudong, who was a little overwhelmed, raised his hands in surrender shamefully. Looking at the disheveled Yuan Xudong, everyone except Ye Qiao stopped in embarrassment.

During the playfulness, Yuan Xudong only hit Ye Qiao. In the end, Liu Mengtian and Zhao Ruoxi were basically fine. Su Cheng was only accidentally injured by Ye Qiao at the beginning. Ye Qiao was just as embarrassed as Yuan Xudong. Her clothes were covered with cream and strawberry juice, and even some of it was inside her clothes. It was Yuan Xudong who accidentally threw cream mixed with a few strawberries into her collar, making Ye Qiao experience firsthand what was truly as creamy and smooth.

Seeing that Ye Qiao was still trying to throw cream at Yuan Xudong, Su Cheng grabbed her and said:

"Okay, Ye Qiao, stop messing around, let's go clean it up!"

"Okay, I'll settle with him next time!"

Putting down the cream cake in her hand, she glanced at her clothes stained with cream and strawberry juice, as well as the discomfort in her chest. Ye Qiao looked at Yuan Xudong and blushed:

"Mr. Yuan, do you have any clothes to change into?"

"Yes, in the room on the top floor, but..."

Before Yuan Xudong could finish, Ye Qiao interrupted him and said:

"Take me there, I want to change my clothes."

"Okay, I'll change my clothes too."

Nodding slightly, Yuan Xudong looked at Su Cheng and said:

"Orange, want to come together?"

"No need, you and Ye Qiao go change your clothes. My clothes are fine, I just got some cream on my face, it will be fine after a simple wash!"

"good!"

Nodding slightly, Yuan Xudong looked at Ye Qiao and said hello before going upstairs. Ye Qiao followed him. After the two of them left, Su Cheng glanced at the messy restaurant and said a little embarrassedly:

"Ruoxi, Tiantian, let's just clean up!"

"OK!"

While cleaning the restaurant, Liu Mengtian glanced at Su Cheng and said meaningfully:

"Ye Qiao doesn't have a boyfriend yet, right?"

“Hmm~~”

Nodding slightly, Su Cheng said curiously while cleaning the floor:

"What's wrong?"

"nothing!"

Looking at the naive Su Cheng, Liu Mengtian smiled and said:

"Ye Qiao and Mr. Yuan are like enemies. Is there any conflict between them?"

"No, don't worry, they are just joking!"

…

In the master bedroom on the top floor, Yuan Xudong took out a white shirt from the closet and handed it to Ye Qiao, saying:

"You wear this one, it's brand new and I haven't worn it before."

After taking the white shirt and trying it on himself twice, Ye Qiao nodded with satisfaction and said:

"You go out first, I need to change my clothes."

"Wait a moment!"

Yuan Xudong went into the bathroom and simply washed the cream off his face, then walked out of the bathroom and said:

"Is it okay for you to change inside and I to change outside?"

"OK!"

After taking a look at the bathroom, Ye Qiao found that the door could be locked from the inside, so she walked in with the white shirt and closed the door. After a while, the sound of a shower was heard, and Yuan Xudong could not help but remind her:

"Hurry up and wash, Su Cheng and the others are still waiting downstairs!"

"Got it, you go down first, I'll be there in a moment!"

Shaking his head, Yuan Xudong began to take off his dirty clothes and changed into a new set. Just as he was about to go downstairs, a cell phone rang It was Ye Qiao's phone. The caller ID showed "brother". Yuan Xudong walked to the bathroom door, knocked on the door and said:

"Ye Qiao, your brother called you, do you need me to answer the phone?"

"don't want!"

"You said no, so you don't want it?"

Yuan Xudong picked up his cell phone and pretended to answer the call:

"Hello, hello!"

"I'm Ye Qiao's friend. She can't answer the phone right now. What can I do for you?"

"Oh, nothing, she's taking a bath!"

"Okay, I'll tell her. You're welcome. I'll buy you a coffee when I get a chance. Bye!"

The bathroom door was opened from the inside, and Ye Qiao, who had just finished a quick shower, came out wearing Yuan Xudong's white shirt. Her hair was wet and hung on her shoulders, with water droplets still dripping down, wetting a patch of her white shirt.

The hem of the shirt covered the base of her thighs, and judging from her exposed arms and thighs, it seemed as if Ye Qiao was only wearing this white shirt and nothing underneath. Her jade-white skin and the white shirt complemented each other, making her look even more flawless.

There were still a few water drops on her skin after she had just finished bathing, just like dew drops falling on a lotus leaf, condensed and not dispersing, making the girl's skin even more delicate and tender after bathing. Her face was flushed, her chest was heaving, and her big watery eyes glared at Yuan Xudong fiercely. She opened her red lips slightly, revealing her neat and white teeth, and said angrily:

"Yuan Xudong, you bastard, you are despicable, shameless, and vulgar. Who told you to answer my call?"

"What's wrong?"

The beauty was angry, but Yuan Xudong smiled nonchalantly and said:

"With such a big reaction, this brother couldn't be your brother Jing?"

"What are you talking about, Brother Jing?"

After glaring at Yuan Xudong, Ye Qiao reached out to grab his phone and said:

"Asshole, give my phone back to me!"

"You bastard, you bastard, don't your parents teach you that girls should be virtuous?"

Holding his phone high up, Yuan Xudong looked at Ye Qiao who couldn't reach it even with all her might and said jokingly:

"As the saying goes, if a son is not well-educated, it is the fault of his father. Your father..."

"Don't you dare talk about my dad!"

Seeing Yuan Xudong's words of contempt for her father who had passed away many years ago, Ye Qiao, who appeared strong on the outside but was sensitive on the inside, could not help crying out loud. The grievance and sadness in her heart burst out all at once, and she squatted on the ground, hugged her knees and cried.

Seeing Ye Qiao squatting on the ground with her head down, her shoulders heaving, and her pitiful appearance of crying, Yuan Xudong squatted down beside her, handed her his cell phone and said:

"I'm just kidding. This is my phone. I didn't answer your call. If you don't believe me, you can check the call log or call your brother back to confirm. I'm sorry. Please stop crying, okay?"

"Is it fun? Is it interesting?"

Ye Qiao glared at Yuan Xudong angrily, and before Yuan Xudong could speak, she directly picked up his mobile phone and threw it fiercely, smashing it on the antique vase not far away, smashing this rare porcelain into pieces. Yuan Xudong couldn't help but said angrily:

"Are you crazy? I was just joking. Do you have to feel so wronged? This piece of porcelain is a fine product of the Xuande kiln. Do you know how much it is worth?"

"How much?"

Ye Qiao glared at Yuan Xudong, feeling somewhat regretful, and said stubbornly:

"Isn't it just a vase? I'll buy you an identical one and give it back to you. You can ask me to pay for it, I'll ask my brother to give it to you!"

"Buy an identical one?"

Looking at Ye Qiao, who had long hair and little knowledge, Yuan Xudong said with anger:

"The auction price of this blue and white vase with a poetic painting of a lady at an autumn evening plus the commission is 15 million. The popularity of antique porcelain has been rising recently, and the price is also rising. How much do you want to compensate me?"

"You...you are blackmailing me?"

It would cost 15 million to smash a vase casually. Ye Qiao found it hard to accept.

"Are you crazy? Spending 15 million on a vase?"

"Does it matter to you if I am happy?"

Looking at Ye Qiao who was confused, Yuan Xudong handed her the phone and said:

"Call your brother. Can he come up with 15 million?"

"I won't fight!"

Looking at Ye Qiao who wanted to cheat, Yuan Xudong nodded and said with a smile:

"Okay, if you don't want to hit me, I will. Your brother is a famous stylist. He should be able to come up with 15 million. It depends on whether he is willing to use it to save a willful sister like you. What a poor brother, he lost 15 million inexplicably!"

"You are not allowed to call my brother!"

Hearing Yuan Xudong's gloating voice, Ye Qiao quickly got up from the ground, snatched the phone from his hand and said:

"Who knows if what you said is true? What if the vase is not valuable at all?"

“Give me the phone!”

"If you don't give it to me, I won't give it to you!"

Hiding the phone in her arms, Ye Qiao looked at Yuan Xudong and begged for mercy:

"Mr. Yuan, I know I was wrong. Can you please stop calling my brother?"

"What about my vase?"

Looking at Ye Qiao who finally felt afraid, Yuan Xudong said in a deep voice:

"15 million is not a small sum. How can you compensate me?"

"I……"

After hesitating for a while, Ye Qiao looked at Yuan Xudong and whispered:

"Can I pay in installments?"

"What do you think?"

After taking a look at the pitiful Ye Qiao, Yuan Xudong walked up to her, hugged her waist and said with a smile:

"Actually, you don't have to pay back the money, as long as you..."

"What do you want to do?"

Being held in Yuan Xudong's arms, Ye Qiao couldn't help but struggle:

"Hurry up and let me go. I'll call for help."

"You shout!"

Holding Ye Qiao down, Yuan Xudong whispered in her ear:

"Don't you want to hear my request?"

"What...what request?"

Looking at Ye Qiao, whose face was flushed and eyes were evasive, Yuan Xudong raised a wicked smile and said:

"Just like we did this morning, but you have to be more proactive and cooperate. We've already kissed once, so one more kiss shouldn't be a big deal, right?"

Seeing Ye Qiao turned her head away and said nothing, Yuan Xudong hugged her waist and said with a sly smile:

"You agree if you don't say anything, right?"

He picked up the silent Ye Qiao by the waist , held her horizontally in his arms, walked to the bed and gently put her down, letting her lie horizontally on the white sheets. Yuan Xudong leaned over and pressed against her delicate body, kissing her red lips and neck wantonly.

Ye Qiao, who didn't want to cause trouble for her brother, could only let him do whatever he wanted until Yuan Xudong touched her inner thigh with his right hand. Ye Qiao finally reacted, exclaimed, and quickly held down his right hand that was about to do something bad, and pleaded pitifully:

"Mr. Yuan, please don't, I beg you, don't do this..."

Pulling back his right hand, he continued to hug Ye Qiao for a while, then Yuan Xudong climbed up from her and said with a smile:

"We're done, clean up the room, I'll be waiting for you downstairs!"

After that, without waiting for Ye Qiao to say anything, Yuan Xudong picked up his still usable domestic mobile phone from the ground and walked out of the master bedroom. Then he leaned back from the door and looked at Ye Qiao who was sitting on the bed sorting out clothes and said with a smile:

"Ye Qiao, let me tell you a secret. There is a boutique on Antique Street. The antiques there look just like the real thing, and the prices are affordable. Buy two pieces for your brother. Does he like calligraphy and paintings, or antique porcelain?"

"What?"

Looking at the grinning Yuan Xudong, Ye Qiao finally reacted. Thinking that she had just broken a worthless fake, she had obediently laid on the bed and allowed Yuan Xudong to kiss her wantonly, she couldn't help but blush, threw the pillow on the bed at Yuan Xudong, and said angrily:

"Yuan Xudong, you are such a bastard!"

"Thank you for the compliment. I'll go down first. Bye!"

Seeing Yuan Xudong walking away after getting the advantage, Ye Qiao punched the pillow twice angrily, as if she was punching Yuan Xudong. After a while, Ye Qiao sat on the bed with her legs curled up, stroking her body and red lips, thinking about what Yuan Xudong had done. There was a flash of shyness and spring in her eyes. If Yuan Xudong could see it, he would definitely recite a poem about what man is not in love, and what girl is not in love.

In the restaurant, Su Cheng, Liu Mengtian, and Zhao Ruoxi cleaned up the cream cake on the floor. Seeing Yuan Xudong walking in alone, Zhao Ruoxi, who was standing at the door, hurriedly went to meet him and deliberately bumped into Yuan Xudong to apologize:

"Mr. Yuan, I'm so sorry, I didn't see you come in!"

"It's okay, you..."

Before Yuan Xudong could finish, Zhao Ruoxi stood in front of him and reminded him quietly:

"Mr. Yuan, there is lipstick on your face!"

At Zhao Ruoxi's signal, Yuan Xudong quickly wiped off the lipstick marks, then gently stroked Zhao Ruoxi's face and smiled:

"Ruoxi, be more careful next time!"

“Hmm~~”

Nodding slightly, Zhao Ruoxi stepped aside and said shyly with a blush:

"Got it, thank you Mr. Yuan!"

"You're welcome!"

Su Cheng looked at Zhao Ruoxi, whose face was flushed, strangely, then walked up to Yuan Xudong, looked behind him and asked:

"Where's Ye Qiao? Didn't she come down with you?"
