Back then, the old dean told Mei Hanqing that he should go back to the Su family to celebrate Su Mingzheng's birthday.

Under the old dean's heartfelt persuasion, Mei Hanqing was indeed somewhat moved.

Talking about Su Mingzheng being buried in the yellow earth is barely an exaggeration, just as Ye Xunhuan said—alive today, who knows where he'll be tomorrow!

No matter how the Su family is, no matter if she was abandoned by them, she couldn't deny that Su Bingzhi's blood runs through her veins!

Su Mingzheng is her grandfather, her biological grandfather.

Moreover, Su Mingzheng is already old, no matter how much anger there is in her heart, what could it change?

Now Su Mingzheng is probably just an old man longing for a family reunion.

Even if Su Mingzheng wasn't her biological grandfather, within her capacity, out of humanitarianism, she ought to fulfill this old man's greatest wish during his lifetime, right?

But she didn't dare go—that's the Su family, they're a wealthy family. Going there, she'd be completely in the dark, not knowing anyone.

Although Jian Yunong and Su Bingzhi are there, Mei Hanqing doesn't get along well with them, so she remains conflicted and struggling internally, constantly refusing.

Now, when Ye Xunhuan brought up this issue, Mei Hanqing couldn't help but ask Ye Xunhuan whether he could accompany her.

If Ye Xunhuan could accompany her, at least she wouldn't feel so scared and anxious.

Ye Xunhuan was momentarily stunned upon hearing Mei Hanqing's words, unsure of what to say.

After all, various forces in Europe are stirring lately, and Ye Xunhuan is planning on heading to Europe soon. Now Mei Hanqing wants him to accompany her to the Su family, leaving Ye Xunhuan conflicted.

Especially with Mei Hanqing's pleading look, Ye Xunhuan finds himself completely unable to refuse.

Seeing Ye Xunhuan's silence, Mei Hanqing thought he didn't want to go with her, so she said, "I was just asking offhandedly..."

Ye Xunhuan noticed Mei Hanqing's slightly disappointed expression and smiled, saying, "If you want to go and want me to accompany you, of course, I would be willing to go with you!"

"Really?" Mei Hanqing's originally forlorn face lit up with surprise and excitement.

Ye Xunhuan nodded, "Of course it's true!"

Upon receiving reassurance from Ye Xunhuan once more, Mei Hanqing's face brimmed with even more joy.

However, the next moment, Mei Hanqing seemed to think of something, and her joy vanished, replaced by worry.

"But if you go to the Su family with me, what about Qiu's side..."

Previously, due to Su Guyan, Qiu Ruoxi was already unhappy. Even though she and Ye Xunhuan reconciled, if Ye Xunhuan goes to the Su family with her, and if something happens that gets back to Qiu Ruoxi, the consequences could be dire.

"Don't worry about her," Ye Xunhuan said softly, "I'll take care of it."

Though Ye Xunhuan said this, he still felt uncertain.

It's important to know that Qiu Ruoxi is not Su Guyan, nor Qin Muge, and definitely not Tang Yurou. To make her compromise is incredibly difficult.

Seeing Ye Xunhuan's assurance, Mei Hanqing sighed lightly, "Perhaps it's better not to. Don't wait until something unpleasant happens between you and Qiu."

Earlier, Mei Hanqing hadn't thought so much about it—she simply asked Ye Xunhuan if he could accompany her to the Su family.

Ye Xunhuan chuckled, comforting her, "Don't worry, I'll handle it. Don't you trust me?"

Seeing Ye Xunhuan's serious expression, Mei Hanqing didn't say anything more, just nodded, "All right then, but don't push yourself..."

"It's nothing!"

After sitting with Mei Hanqing for a while, Ye Xunhuan left Mei Hanqing's place.

As Ye Xunhuan exited Mei Hanqing's office, he let out a sigh, displaying a face full of helplessness!

What would happen if he told Qiu Ruoxi he was going to accompany Mei Hanqing to Su Hang for the Su family elder's birthday celebration?

Just the thought of it made Ye Xunhuan break out in a cold sweat.

Could that woman actually kill him?

Yet, if he doesn't tell Qiu Ruoxi, how could he explain it? And if he went to Su Hang, Qiu Ruoxi will eventually find out.

Paper can't wrap the fire after all!

After another sigh, Ye Xunhuan turned back to his own office.

Time flew like a fleeting horse, quickly reaching the end of the workday.

After work, Ye Xunhuan went straight back to the Tingxiang Waterside Pavilion.

When Ye Xunhuan arrived at the villa, Qiu Ruoxi wasn't back yet—only Wang Ma was there.

Seeing Ye Xunhuan return from work, Wang Ma immediately greeted him affectionately.

Ye Xunhuan had long since gotten used to it, exchanged a few words with Wang Ma, and headed upstairs.

After about half an hour, Qiu Ruoxi came back driving slowly from outside.

Ye Xunhuan stood at the upstairs floor-to-ceiling window. Seeing Qiu Ruoxi return, he immediately went downstairs.

As soon as he went downstairs, he saw Qiu Ruoxi coming in from outside.

"Honey, you're back!" Ye Xunhuan grinned at Qiu Ruoxi, "Tired?"

Looking at Ye Xunhuan's face full of a wicked smile, Qiu Ruoxi suspiciously scanned him up and down.

What's wrong with this guy today?

"Not too bad!"

"Thirsty? I'll get you a glass of water..."

Seeing Ye Xunhuan acting so attentively, Qiu Ruoxi immediately felt a surge of vigilance in her heart!

As the saying goes, if one is too attentive without reason, they are either deceitful or thieving. Ye Xunhuan is being far too unusual today.

"Do you have something you want to tell me?"

"What could I have to say?"

"Did you do something to let me down..."

Three black lines appeared on Ye Xunhuan's forehead, "Am I such a person?"

"Here's a look for you to comprehend yourself!"

Ye Xunhuan was momentarily speechless.

Seeing Ye Xunhuan's distressed appearance, Qiu Ruoxi spoke again, "Speak then, what's the matter?"

"Honey, you really have eagle eyes..."

"Stop flattering me around here!" Qiu Ruoxi directly interrupted Ye Xunhuan, "Whatever it is, just say it. If there's nothing, I'm going upstairs!"

"Well, honey, I might have something to leave home for a few days..." Ye Xunhuan said somewhat embarrassedly.

"How many days?"

"Maybe seven or eight days?"

Qiu Ruoxi softly acknowledged without saying more and proceeded upstairs.

Ye Xunhuan stared in a daze at Qiu Ruoxi's back.

What's this woman thinking?

Are you agreeing or not? Give a straightforward answer!

The next moment, Qiu Ruoxi, having walked a few steps, suddenly seemed to remember something, and turned her head to ask, "When are you leaving?"

Upon hearing Qiu Ruoxi's question, Ye Xunhuan couldn't help but feel a wave of excitement in his heart.

Does that mean Qiu Ruoxi's allowing him to leave?
