Chapter 556: Misunderstanding

Translator: Tuiwen Editor: Tuiwen
The woman immediately buried her face into Yang Nian’s chest. She was flushing, not really knowing how to explain herself.

Yang Jiang clenched his jaw.

Yang Nian has a bright reputation that they had worked so hard to protect over the years. However, at this moment, he didn’t look like the young and elegant young master everyone claimed to be, but an irresponsible player.

It was a good thing that they were exposed to a much smaller banquet. That way, the news would be better controlled. Otherwise, who knew what other rumors would spread?

“Don’t carry out the previous orders I’ve given yet,” Yang Jiang automatically ordered his two bodyguards. “Do it once this matter is over.”

!!

He wanted to see how Yang Nian would handle this situation.

Before he could say anything else, he also pulled out his phone and sent a text to the butler. That way, this entire situation would be left for Yang Nian to handle.

The young man stood at the door as he stared at the shocked faces of the crowd. He blinked, stunned.

Yao Ran blushed. “Please don’t misunderstand us,” she quickly said. “We aren’t doing what you think we’re doing. It’s just…”

She stuttered at the end, falling silent.

As soon as the crowd had heard it, they all repressed the urge to scoff. The ambiguous atmosphere between them couldn’t be mistaken!

“What misunderstanding? We’ve already caught you red-handed!”

“Look at how tight you’re hugging each other! Is there really nothing between you?”

Among the crowd, everyone shared a few glances before turning away, unsure as to how to react. They clenched and unclenched their jaws, but no words came out of their mouths.

Most of the people present were Yang Nian’s classmates from International Middle School.

When he was still studying with them, they had always seen Young Master Yang as a kind and gentlemanly student. There had never been any rumors about him.

They didn’t expect this!

They were at a public banquet. How could he wrap his arms around someone so boldly, especially after exiting a room?

Or did he like her?

But…

Everyone glanced over at Yao Ran. To those who have known her, they had always assumed for her to be a kind and polite woman who knew how to act in public.

How could she act so inappropriately around Yang Nian? Especially at a banquet of all places!

Yao Ran was so anxious that she struggled to push herself from his chest.

However, seeing as she had sprained her ankle, she wouldn’t be allowed to walk around. It was also impossible for Yang Nian to set her down like this.

Yang Nian lowered his head to glance at her face as if he was trying to search for something else.

Yao Ran had sprained her ankle due to the red wine, and she convinced him to bring her to this room. Just now, they all happened to see her.

Wasn’t this too much of a coincidence?

Thinking of this, an unknown emotion flashed in Yang Nian’s eyes. However, Yao Ran seemed to be just as panicked as she was.

In fact, she was even trembling.

“It’s my fault,” Yan Wei spoke out as she stepped out of the crowd.

“Just now, the butler asked someone to deliver all the clothes he had asked for. I couldn’t bring them up all by myself, so I asked my friends to bring them up.”

Yang Nian gazed at what his other classmates were holding.

She was right. They were all holding a piece of clothing in their hands. There were around ten dresses to choose from.

Was he overthinking things?

Yang Nian immediately placed Yao Ranon the sofa and explained, “Student Yao Ransprained her ankle. I only carried her out because we’re classmates. It’s not what you think.”

Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure at the other end of the corridor.

Yao Tang! His heart skipped a beat. “Ranran and I are just friends. Nothing more.”

When they heard his words, they glanced at Yao Ran’s foot.

Her ankle seemed to be in good shape. In fact, it didn’t even look swollen. Was he really sure that it was sprained?

When she heard Yang Nian clarify things, Yao Ranlowered her head. Her eyes dimmed, and no one could tell what she was thinking.

When everyone saw her expression, they could tell what was going on.
