"Shishi, did you sprain your ankle?" Su Qiao asked softly.

"Ah, oh, yes, I accidentally twisted my ankle last night on my way back!" Zhao Shishi replied with a bit of panic upon hearing Su Qiao's sudden question. After noticing Su Qiao's concern and realizing no one else had noticed anything, she secretly glared at Yun Hao, who was smirking on the other side!

However, this subtle exchange between the two did not escape the eyes of someone in the hall, namely Liu Mengqi, this woman with almost supernatural perception!

Oh, another good girl has been deceived by this guy, Liu Mengqi sighed silently to herself, but after considering Chu Yan's decision, she didn't think much of it. After all, Zhao Shishi, whether in terms of looks, figure, or otherwise, was not inferior to Chu Yan!

"Everyone, eat and drink as you please today. Consider all of this as my way of thanking you on behalf of my brother for taking care of Yun Hao in Huaxia!" Liu Mengqi addressed everyone as the host, just as a table of luxurious dishes like foie gras, caviar, and even some foods prohibited in Huaxia were laid out on the dining table.

"Really? Can we eat as much as we want?"

"Of course, everything here is available, and if it's not enough, we'll have another table ready within twenty minutes. And I have lots of wine here, all self-brewed!" Liu Mengqi smiled slightly. With a wave of her hand, someone brought out a whole crate of wine, all brewed by Liu Mengqi's people!

"Wow, this is amazing, thank you, Sister Mengqi!"

"Thank you, Sister Mengqi!"

The girls from Prosperous International cheered jubilantly. Although their salaries at Prosperous International weren't small, they had never eaten such things before! Even if some liked wine and occasionally drank it, it wasn't nearly as expensive, right?

The grapes used for Liu Mengqi's wine were carefully selected, and professional personnel were hired to brew them, so a bottle would cost at least thirty thousand Huaxia Coins if taken to Huaxia Country!

"Brother Hao, won't this table of food be very expensive?" Su Qiao, sitting to Yun Hao's left, asked in a low voice as she looked at the spread of food she had only seen on TV but never tasted.

"Not too bad, around two million US Dollars," Yun Hao glanced at the table's contents and casually replied to Su Qiao.

Although Yun Hao's voice wasn't loud, the girls all heard it. Two million US Dollars? This meal costs two million? That was absolute sky-high pricing, and all of a sudden, the girls from Prosperous International looked at the table as if gazing at piles of money!

"Alright, dig in, eat to your heart's content and drink as much as you want. If you drink too much, just rest at the manor tonight!" Liu Mengqi, noticing Yun Hao's distraction, picked up the conversation again aimed at the young women.

Following that, the young women disregarded any concern for appearances, indulging heartily; after all, this was money, possibly a meal they'd only experience once in their lifetimes, who cared about appearances?

But Yun Hao kept his eyes on Chu Yan, noticing her reluctance to meet his eyes and guessing her thoughts—it likely indicated she still couldn't accept him, right?

And Zhao Shishi, too, noticed Chu Yan's state, but she couldn't say anything. In fact, she vaguely hoped for Chu Yan to divorce Yun Hao so she could be with him forever!

As everyone happily continued eating, and Liu Mengqi ordered more dishes to be served, Yun Hao noticed Chu Yan signaling him with her eyes, prompting him to follow her up the stairs!

They arrived at the top of the manor's stairs, where Chu Yan stopped, and Yun Hao had to stand by her side, knowing she was about to confide in him.

"Yun Hao, can you refrain from killing in the future? Anyone!" After a moment of silence, Chu Yan spoke first.

Hearing Chu Yan's question, Yun Hao truly didn't know how to answer. To say he wouldn't kill anymore? He wouldn't believe it himself. But to say he would kill, the result might already be predestined...

Nonetheless, Yun Hao decided to speak honestly, "I will kill, but only those who would kill me if I don't kill them first!"

"You don't have to kill, you can return to Huaxia with me, and we can manage Prosperous International together, can't we? If you don't provoke others, why would they provoke you?" Chu Yan turned her head to look at Yun Hao and said.

"If I don't provoke others, they won't provoke me?" Yun Hao chuckled and asked rhetorically.

"Yes, of course. Isn't there justice in this world? If you don't provoke others, they won't come after you. Look at the ordinary people in Huaxia, leading peaceful lives from nine to five, aren't they just as happy? You could have that too, managing the company alongside me, wouldn't it be good?" Chu Yan exclaimed with some agitation.

Yun Hao, observing Chu Yan's expression, suddenly found it laughable. Had she forgotten how Fu Jiajun treated her? Even if she had, did she forget what the Tyrannosaurus did to her yesterday?

And that mysterious organization with black crescent moon markings—Yun Hao didn't even know such an organization existed, let alone how he could provoke them, yet they had attempted to assassinate him countless times.

"I'm sorry. The life you speak of is also what I'd like to have. I'd love to live an ordinary life. But ever since I left Huaxia fifteen years ago, such a life is no longer possible for me." Yun Hao shook his head, his expression somewhat desolate.

"If you return to Huaxia to live a peaceful life with me, I can give you half of the company's shares."

"Chu Yan, who do you think I, Yun Hao, am? Setting aside the fact that your company is worth only several million US Dollars and not even worth the money I have invested in it, let me ask you: if I could change my name and no longer kill, would you be willing to give up your company and live with me somewhere no one knows us, peacefully? If you're willing, I would undergo surgery in South Korea tomorrow!" Yun Hao found it amusing that she would try to lure him with Prosperous International's shares. It's laughable—would he care about such little money?

Did she forget that he had sponsored her company with fifty to sixty million US Dollars? He practically could buy Prosperous International with what he had given her!
