After warning Ye Xunhuan, Qiu Ruoxi looked up at Ye Xunhuan and asked, "What are you planning to do?"

Seeing Qiu Ruoxi change the subject, Ye Xunhuan said without hesitation, "It's very simple!"

"Simple?"

"Yes!" Ye Xunhuan nodded, "If Dongfang Shu wants to leave with the other party, then let her go. If she doesn't want to, then let her stay!"

"When it comes to relationships, it's better if both parties are willing." Ye Xunhuan earnestly told Qiu Ruoxi, "Of course, if it's like the two of us, it doesn't matter."

"But given Dongfang Shu's relationships with her old man and her stepmother, do you think if she goes back, she'll have a way out?"

Before Qiu Ruoxi could speak, Ye Xunhuan continued, "Even if she survives, she'd probably live in a world of misery, wouldn't she?"

Qiu Ruoxi sighed slightly.

Ye Xunhuan had already told her about all of Dongfang Shu's experiences, and she couldn't believe Dongfang Shu's childhood was so tragic!

But now, people only see Dongfang Shu's current glory, not imagining the hardships behind that glory!

Witnessing her mother's tragic life firsthand, she had to learn the meaning of endurance from an early age!

At that time, she was still a child, yet she had to endure the mind games and deceit of adults.

More importantly, she was merely a sacrificial pawn.

This is also why Qiu Ruoxi didn't react particularly coldly to Ye Xunhuan after hearing Dongfang Shu's tragic past.

Don't be fooled by Qiu Ruoxi's usually indifferent and unfeeling demeanor; she's really kindhearted.

Otherwise, Qiu Ruoxi could have simply told Ye Xunhuan not to meddle.

"I doubt the other party will leave!" Qiu Ruoxi said softly, "And I think he seems to be like you."

"Even among the same kind, there's a hierarchy." Ye Xunhuan said dismissively, "I don't believe he's stronger than me!"

If Qi Tiansheng were completely confident he could surpass Ye Xunhuan, he wouldn't be going through the motions of diplomacy first—he'd have directly confronted Ye Xunhuan.

Even though we live in a civilized age, when you strip away that veneer, it's still a survival-of-the-fittest world where might makes right.

So Ye Xunhuan felt that Qi Tiansheng wasn't stronger than him.

"You mean if he won't leave, you'll beat him up?"

"If he doesn't come looking for me, why would I bother to find him!" Ye Xunhuan said irritably, "But if he dares to show up, I don't mind giving him a good beating!"

Qiu Ruoxi wanted to say more but reconsidered; it seemed there was no better solution than letting Ye Xunhuan deal with Qi Tiansheng.

"Do as you like then!" Qiu Ruoxi didn't intervene further, her cold gaze swept over Ye Xunhuan before she continued, "But remember what I said before!"

As she spoke, Qiu Ruoxi's gaze slowly moved down, finally settling on Ye Xunhuan's groin.

This instantly gave Ye Xunhuan a sense of distress; why keep looking down there for no reason?

And besides, little brother hasn't offended anyone!

Ye Xunhuan didn't linger long with Qiu Ruoxi before turning and leaving.

Back in his office, Ye Xunhuan began his gaming journey, thus spending his leisure time.

Time flew by, and as the workday was coming to an end, Ye Xunhuan stopped gaming and picked up the phone to call Qin Muge.

Last time, Ye Xunhuan had intended to have a chat with Qin Muge, but plans never keep pace with changes. Xiao Jiu had called Ye Xunhuan to inform him that Tian Sha had been rescued, forcing Ye Xunhuan to leave.

Now that he was finally relaxed and had the time, he absolutely had to spend some time with Qin Muge, right?

After all, he hadn't properly spent time with Qin Muge for such a long while.

After calling Qin Muge and setting a meeting place, they hung up.

After getting off work, Ye Xunhuan left the company and drove away from Huangtu Group.

However, Ye Xunhuan didn't go far but stopped at an intersection not too far from Huangtu Group.

This was the place he and Qin Muge had agreed upon.

Since it was common knowledge that he and Qiu Ruoxi were married, if they were seen leaving the company intimately after work, rumors would undoubtedly spread.

So the two agreed to meet here.

Soon, Ye Xunhuan saw Qin Muge approaching from afar through the rearview mirror.

Upon seeing Qin Muge, he immediately rolled down the car window, stuck his head out smiling widely, and said to Qin Muge, "Hey beauty, need a ride? Free of charge!"

Qin Muge playfuly rolled her eyes at Ye Xunhuan and said, "Does your wife know you're flirting like this?"

"My wife's always known!" Ye Xunhuan said without hesitation, "Not just my wife, but my darling Mu Ge also knows!"

"You're such a flatterer!"

While speaking, Qin Muge had already opened the car door and got in.

Once Qin Muge was seated, Ye Xunhuan started the car and sped off.

In the car, with soft classical music playing, Ye Xunhuan and Qin Muge chatted and laughed, creating a warm and harmonious atmosphere!

After some time, Ye Xunhuan drove to a western restaurant. As he was about to drive into the parking lot, Qin Muge suddenly said, "Let's go to Hai Di Lao instead?"

Ye Xunhuan hesitated slightly upon hearing Qin Muge's words.

Hai Di Lao is essentially just hot pot, primarily Sichuan-flavored.

"What, you don't like Hai Di Lao?" Qin Muge asked immediately when Ye Xunhuan didn't respond.

Ye Xunhuan gently shook his head, "Why wouldn't I like it? Back in the day, I was a street dweller in the capital and often ate hot pot!"

"Then let's go."

Since Qin Muge wanted Hai Di Lao, Ye Xunhuan naturally couldn't insist on western cuisine.

Ye Xunhuan drove to a nearby Hai Di Lao hot pot restaurant and went in with Qin Muge.

Hai Di Lao has always been famous for its excellent service, authentic flavors, notable features, and affordability!

Perhaps because it was after work hours, there were quite a few people at Hai Di Lao. Just as Ye Xunhuan and Qin Muge sat down and ordered a spicy hot pot, the restaurant became almost full.

Soon, the hot pot they ordered was brought to their table by the server.

Just as Ye Xunhuan and Qin Muge were about to dig in, a crisp voice, tinged with disdain, suddenly rang in their ears, "Scumbag, you have a wife yet you're flirting with other women!"
