Ke Xue: The thief Cao is actually myself

Chapter 664: A friend’s husband should not be bullied? (Please give me a monthly ticket!)
Mao Lilan's cheeks flushed slightly, her eyes were full of happiness and pride, she waved her hand gently and said, "Ms. Yoko, you are too kind."

She tilted her head slightly, her eyes unconsciously falling on Bai Ye, a sweet arc appeared on the corner of her lips, and she continued: "But... Bai Ye has always been this kind of person. No matter what kind of danger he encounters, he will stand up without hesitation to protect the people around him. Perhaps it is because of this that I..."

Her voice gradually lowered, as if she was shy, or as if she was immersed in memories, but her bright eyes were filled with love that needed no words.

Okino Yoko stared at her quietly, with a hint of envy and emotion in her eyes. She sighed softly, with a gentle smile on her lips, but her eyes glanced at Bai Ye beside her, with a meaningful tone: "Xiao Lan, you are really lucky. You must feel safe to be with Bai Ye-kun, right?"

Mao Lilan nodded slightly, and the smile on her face became brighter, like a flower illuminated by the sun, warm and bright. She said softly: "Well, as long as he is with me, I am not afraid of anything. Because I know that no matter what happens, he will be by my side and face it side by side with me."

Her voice was soft but firm, as if she was making a vow that would never change.

Bai Ye stood aside, listening to their conversation, a faint smile unconsciously rising from the corner of his mouth.

He did not interrupt, but just stared at Mao Lilan quietly, his eyes full of pampering and tenderness, like a deep lake that could embrace everything about her.

As Yoko Okino watched the warm and sweet scene, an indescribable complex emotion flashed through her eyes again. It seemed that there was envy, emotion, and perhaps a hint of loss. But in just a moment, she quickly regained her elegant smile and said softly, "I really envy the deep and beautiful relationship between you two."

Mao Lilan tilted her head, blinked playfully, and said with a smile: "Ms. Yoko, if you are envious, you can also look for someone who can make you feel this way. This world is so big, there will always be someone, somewhere, silently waiting to meet you, and then protect you from the wind and rain, and accompany you through every journey of life. Just like Bai Ye appeared in my life, bringing me endless warmth and peace of mind. As long as you feel with your heart and look for it with your heart, I believe that you will also be able to harvest your own happiness."

Yoko Okino was slightly stunned, then she laughed softly, with a bit of self-mockery in her smile: "Xiaolan, it's easy for you to say that, but for me, finding a true relationship is not easy. Most of the relationships in the entertainment industry are mixed with interests, and there are very few sincere ones." She lowered her head slightly, her hair falling, blocking the loneliness that flashed across her eyes.

Mao Lilan's eyes were full of understanding and comfort. She gently held Okino Yoko's hands, which were warm and powerful, conveying endless encouragement. She said gently: "Ms. Yoko, don't be discouraged. Maybe that person is waiting for you not far away. You must believe that there will always be someone who will come to you through the fog and like everything about you, not because of your fame and status, but purely because you are you, the unique and shining you."

Bai Ye raised his eyebrows slightly, with a confident and hearty smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Yoko, Xiaolan is right. Love is sometimes so wonderful, it often comes quietly when you least expect it, maybe one day, you will meet the right person when you turn around! Just like Xiaolan and I, everything is so natural and beautiful."

Mao Lilan nodded vigorously, her eyes full of encouragement and expectation, and said: "That's right, as long as you keep looking forward to it, happiness will surely come at some beautiful moment. I believe that you will meet that special person and start your romantic story."

Okino Yoko raised her head and looked at the two of them, feeling a warm current in her heart. "Thank you, chatting with you makes me feel much better. Maybe it's true as you said, my happiness is on the way."

As she spoke, she took a deep breath and smiled confidently again. That smile was still as dazzling as the one on the stage, as if it could illuminate the whole world.

"Yes, yes!" The smile on Mao Lilan's face became brighter and brighter. "When you meet that person, you must tell us as soon as possible. We can't wait to share your joy."

Okino Yoko took a deep look at the smiling and energetic Mao Lilan, then nodded gently, "Okay, don't worry, if there really comes a day like that, I will definitely be the first to tell you."

As they were talking, Douyuan Taeko, wearing a simple and elegant kimono, slowly walked over with graceful steps. The delicate patterns on the kimono shone softly under the light, making her look even more gentle and charming.

Standing next to her was a kind-looking young man, who was her fiancé, Yuji Shimazaki.

Seeing that Douyuan Taeko's face had regained its former radiance and was filled with happiness, Mao Lilan greeted her warmly: "Ms. Taeko, Mr. Shimazaki, how did you get here?"

Douyuan Taeko and Shimazaki Yuji looked at each other, then spoke first, with a bit of excitement in their voices: "We came here specially to express our gratitude."

When she said this, she paused, looked at Bai Ye beside her, her eyes full of gratitude, and said sincerely: "Mr. Bai Ye, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would still be struggling under the shadow of Anxi Morio."

"Now that Anzai Morio has been arrested, I can finally prepare for the wedding with peace of mind." A happy smile spread across Mamoru Taeko's face, and that smile was as bright and moving as a flower blooming in spring.

Shimazaki Yuji also quickly agreed: "Yes, thanks to you, Taeko was able to get rid of the entanglement of that demon. On the wedding day, you and Miss Xiaolan must come to participate."

Bai Ye smiled and waved his hand, saying modestly: "You don't have to be so polite. This is what I should do."

Mao Lilan smiled and asked, "Ms. Taeko, how are the preparations for your wedding with Mr. Yuji going? I'm already looking forward to that day."

Douyuan Taeko showed a happy smile on her face, with a gleam of longing in her eyes: "The wedding has been re-planned. Although we have experienced some twists and turns, I believe that these twists and turns are all for the purpose of making our happiness more precious."

Mao Lilan smiled slightly, her eyes full of blessings: "Ms. Taeko, you must be happy in the future. We will always support you. I hope your love will be like fine wine, getting better and better with age."

Okino Yoko also nodded and said sincerely: "Yes, we are all your friends. No matter what difficulties you encounter in the future, as long as you speak up, just tell us and we will all help you find a solution."

Mameko was so moved that her eyes were slightly red. She held the hands of Mao Lilan and Okino Yoko tightly and said with a choked voice: "Thank you, thank you so much. I really feel that I am the luckiest person in the world to have friends like you."

Mao Lilan and Okino Yoko said almost in unison: "Don't be so formal, we are all friends!"

Tears welled up in the eyes of Douyuan Taeko, but she tried to keep smiling, not wanting this feeling of being touched to turn into sadness of parting. She gently let go of the hands of Maoli Ran and Okino Yoko, and said with a hint of firmness in her tone: "In fact, Yuji and I came here today, in addition to thanking everyone, there is another thing."

Mao Lilan was slightly stunned, and asked with concern: "What's wrong, Miss Taeko, is there anything else?"

Douyuan Taeko took a deep breath and showed a gentle but firm smile on her face: "Yuji and I's wedding will be on the fifth of next month. I hope you can attend then!"

Shimazaki Yuji considerately put his arm around his fiancée's shoulders and took out two gold-stamped invitations from his arms: "This is an invitation for everyone. Although it's not a luxurious wedding, I hope to share our joy with everyone."

Mao Lilan took the invitation, her beautiful eyes sparkling with curiosity and excitement: "Wow! Is it a traditional wedding held at a shrine?" "Yes." Shimazaki Yuji explained with a smile, "Taeko wants to start a new life in the place where she grew up. Mr. Sugiyama's spirit in heaven will surely bless us."

When talking about Mr. Sugiyama who once committed suicide out of guilt, Mamegaki Taeko's expression was gloomy for a moment, but she soon smiled again: "I believe Mr. Sugiyama has forgiven me. From now on, I will live well, including him."

Okino Yoko gently held Mamegaki Taeko's hand, her eyes full of encouragement and support, and said sincerely: "Taeko, you will. This wedding is the starting point of your new happy life. I believe Mr. Sugiyama will be very happy for you in heaven."

Everyone chatted about the wedding for a while, the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant. As time passed, the night gradually deepened.

Shimazaki Yuji glanced at the time and realized that it was getting late, so he said, "It's getting late, we should go back."

Douyuan Taeko bowed slightly, made an elegant salute, and said, "Thank you again. I look forward to witnessing our happy moment with you on the wedding day."

Mao Lilan smiled and responded: "Don't worry, we will be there on time, and it will definitely be a very beautiful wedding."

Bai Ye also nodded and said, "I wish you a happy wedding and a long-lasting marriage."

Yoko Okino smiled and sent her blessing: "I hope your future life will be sweet and happy, and you will always be happy."

"Thanks……"

Taeko Mamegaki and Yuji Shimazaki waved goodbye to everyone. Holding hands, their figures gradually disappeared under the light of the street lamps.

Looking at the backs of Mamegaki Taeko and Shimazaki Yuji leaving hand in hand, Mao Lilan said with emotion: "I really hope that Miss Taeko and Mr. Shimazaki can be happy forever."

Okino Yoko nodded and said, "Yes, after going through so many twists and turns, their happiness is hard-won. But I believe they will cherish it especially."

Bai Ye put his arm around Mao Lilan's shoulders and said with a smile: "Don't worry, they will. Just like we will always be happy."

Mao Lilan looked up at Bai Ye, her eyes full of love, and nodded gently.

"Jingle Bell……"

At this moment, a brisk cell phone ring broke the peaceful and beautiful atmosphere. Okino Yoko smiled apologetically, took out her cell phone to check, frowned slightly, and then said helplessly: "It seems I have to go, there is something urgent at work that I need to deal with."

Mao Lilan's eyes immediately showed understanding, and she nodded and said, "Ms. Yoko, work is important, you should go quickly. I hope everything goes well. If you need any help, just let me know."

Okino Yoko put away her phone, adjusted her clothes gracefully, and instantly regained her usual elegance and generosity, and said, "Okay."

She smiled and said, her gentle eyes slowly moving between Mao Lilan and Bai Ye, her eyes full of reluctance and nostalgia, "I am really happy today. The time with you is always so wonderful. Let's meet again next time if there is a chance."

Bai Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, a trace of concern flashed in his eyes, and suggested, "Yangzi, let me take you home. It's so late, I'm not sure if you can go alone."

Okino Yoko shook her head slightly, took out the car keys from her handbag, shook them gently in her hand, and said, "No need, my agent is waiting for me nearby, he will take me back, don't worry."

She paused, as if she suddenly remembered something, her eyes lit up, and she said, "By the way, I have a concert next week, and this is a VIP ticket."

As she spoke, she took out two gold-stamped tickets from her pocket. The tickets were beautifully designed and looked very valuable. She handed them to Mao Lilan with a smile, and there was a hint of playfulness in her eyes, "Just think of it as a date gift for you in advance. I hope you can have a good time at the concert."

Mao Lilan took the ticket with surprise, her eyes sparkling with excitement: "Is it really possible? This is Miss Yoko's concert!"

"Of course." Okino Yoko blinked and showed a playful and cute smile, as friendly as a girl next door, "Just think of it as... a blessing for a beautiful love. I hope your love can be as passionate and romantic as my singing."

Her gaze lingered on Bai Ye's face for a moment, then she turned away, "Then, see you next week."

After saying that, she hurried away with brisk steps.

Mao Lilan looked at her receding back, sighed softly, and said: "Ms. Yoko may look glamorous on the surface, but there are many difficulties behind it."

Bai Ye gently put his arm around Mao Lilan's shoulders and comforted her: "Yes, everyone has their own troubles. But Miss Yoko is so optimistic and positive. I believe she will be able to handle her work well and find her own happiness."

Mao Lilan looked up at Bai Ye, with a gleam in her eyes. In that gleam were blessings for Miss Yoko and a vision of their future life. "Well, I believe it too. Just like us, we must always be happy."

Bai Ye scratched her nose lovingly and said with a smile: "Of course, I will always be with you. No matter what happens, we will face it together."

The two held hands and strolled on the moonlit street. The moonlight was like water, stretching their shadows long and intertwined, as if they were one. The breeze blew gently, carrying the fragrance of flowers. The fragrance was elegant and fresh, as if it was also sending the most sincere blessings to their beautiful relationship...
