"Ye Chen, I love you so, so much!" Liu Shihua hugged Ye Chen and confessed. "You've been gone for five years, I've missed you to death. Our daughter can already go out and buy soy sauce, and you've finally come back. I'm so happy..."

Liu Shihua missed Ye Chen dearly, with countless things to say.

Liu Shihua was pouring out her heart, and Ye Chen was just listening to the superstar's outpouring without interrupting.

However, after a small while, Liu Shihua stopped talking because she fell asleep.

Liu Shihua was really exhausted, and Ye Chen's embrace was warm, so she fell asleep peacefully.

"Uh, fell asleep so quickly, I wanted to ask you some things." Ye Chen looked at the peacefully sleeping Liu Shihua, smiling helplessly.

Su Binglan and Li Yan's strange behavior filled Ye Chen's heart with unease, fearing he had become a cuckold.

However, Ye Chen didn't dare to verify it easily, so he had to tentatively probe first.

Yet Liu Shihua came and exhausted herself completely, not giving Ye Chen any chance to probe sideways!

"Su Binglan, Li Yan, Chu Yanran... are you hiding something from me?" Ye Chen gazed out at the starry sky, with a look of melancholy.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, something vibrated, unusually noisy in the quiet night.

"Hmm, Liu Shihua's phone?"

There's a small cabinet by the bed with a phone on it, and the phone was vibrating.

"Mrs. Ye group?"

Ye Chen picked up the phone, swiped it a few times, and found that it was his wife's chat group.

Mrs. Ye group was created by Su Binglan, and the group members were all Ye Chen's women.

Now, it's already past ten at night, and the group was still lively, with Su Binglan, Zhang Xinlan, Li Yan, Chu Yanran... all chatting in the group!

Su Binglan: "It's almost eleven, Ye Chen hasn't come to find me yet. Did we go too far?"

Zhang Xinlan: "Maybe, who's to blame but yourself for courting death."

Li Yan: "You guys, help me out, what should I do?"

Chu Yanran: "If you don't act up, you won't get into trouble."

Ye Chen browsed through the group's messages, starting to fill in the gaps himself. It seemed like they were hiding something from him!

"What's going on with them?"

Ye Chen, holding the phone, kept scrolling down through the message history.

"So... that's how it is!"

"Wen Rou is engaged?"

"Damn, Chu Yanran's son is back, and he brought people from an ancient family, wanting to divide Yanran International's assets!"

"Indeed, someone is pursuing Su Binglan, and it seems they're very close!"

"Li Yan, an actor is pursuing you, and you're deeply moved? Could it be you're interested?"

"Very well, as expected of my women, none of them are easy to deal with!"

"Very well, very well, very well..."

Ye Chen lay against the headboard, flipping through the chat history, completely dumbfounded.

So, they were indeed hiding something from him, and something so important!

Wasn't Wen Rou in love with him? Why did she get engaged? And to a rich second generation? What about the promised happiness?

Chu Yanran's son came back with a group of strong people, intending to take over Yanran International? Ye Chen had shares in Yanran International too, why didn't Chu Yanran tell him?

Moreover, Chu Yanran was his woman. Why not discuss the difficult matters with him?

There's a powerful person pursuing Su Binglan. This person's cultivation is extraordinary, a fierce figure who emerged in recent years, almost as strong as Zhao Yue!

Li Yan is also being pursued, the person is an actor, and they've collaborated a few times, that actor developed feelings for her.

Yun Xianghan also seems to be pursued, but the identity of the admirer was not mentioned by the several women.

"..."

These women are like enchantresses, attracting attention wherever they go, they truly are a bunch of alluring troublemakers!

In the five years Ye Chen was away, many talents emerged in the world, among them were figures of respectable level!

Su Binglan, Zhang Xinlan, Chu Yanran, Li Yan, and others stepped into martial arts and controlled massive economic power, naturally attracting admirers.

So, in the five years Ye Chen was gone, the women didn't flirt around but did attract a lot of attention.

They were like vibrant flowers, attracting butterflies and bees to approach.

The women didn't do anything improper, but they were now deeply conflicted!

Ye Chen had been gone for too long, and those people's advances were too aggressive, putting them in a dilemma.

"What's mine is mine, if it's not, I can't hold on to it!"

Seeing their tangled thoughts, Ye Chen took Liu Shihua's phone and sent this message.

"Liu Shihua, quickly take your daughter home!" Zhang Xinlan replied instantly upon seeing Liu Shihua speak.

"Ye Chen went to find Zhao Yue, not you, right?" Su Binglan asked Liu Shihua.

"This message is really strange…" replied Li Yan.

"Could Liu Shihua be with Ye Chen?" Chu Yanran sent two messages in a row. "This message is really strange! Do you think it's possible that Liu Shihua was worn out by Ye Chen and Ye Chen sent this message?"

"Worthy of Empress Chu, your imagination is so rich!" Su Binglan praised.

"..." Chu Yanran sent a series of ellipses.

"Chu Yanran guessed correctly, I am Ye Chen!" Ye Chen started replying again. "I've read your chat logs, if you really feel troubled, then go find your own happiness!"

"I respect your choice, so I won't put you in a difficult situation!"

"I've said all there is to say, I'm going to sleep now!"

Ye Chen sent several messages in a row and without waiting for their replies, he put the phone on the table and cuddled Liu Shihua to sleep.

The group had hundreds of chat records, all from today's messages with the women complaining, saying they were pursued relentlessly by men…

Ye Chen read them several times and came to a conclusion.

These women were definitely acting out, most likely trying to trick him and make him lose his wits!

This could be a prank!

However, Ye Chen had no intention of outsmarting them.

Ye Chen was exhausted from being squeezed by Zhao Yue and Liu Shihua. Moreover, being in the Canglan Realm kept his mind tense, now that he's back on Earth, he just wants to sleep peacefully!

These women were setting traps for him to fall into, but Ye Chen is not naive, he simply clarified his identity, letting them do what they wanted, completely respecting their choices… which is like putting them at a disadvantage!

However, Ye Chen couldn't be completely sure they were playing a prank because all the women are captivating beauties, inevitably admired and pursued by others.

But Ye Chen is feeling very annoyed, very tired, and really wants to sleep, he has no desire to banter with them anymore.

"Ye Chen read the chat records, what should we do, will he kill us?" Su Binglan continued to text in the group.

"He's not that petty, right…" Li Yan replied.

"That might be uncertain, we're so beautiful, Ye Chen loves us so much, there's definitely a possibility he might do something foolish!" Chu Yanran was also active.

"Chu Yanran, Ye Chen went to your room, get ready to be beaten!" Zhang Xinlan typed, and also sent a sinister smile emoji.

"I'm blatantly backstabbing, completely ignoring Ye Chen, is this really okay?" Su Binglan bubbled up again.

"..."

After that, the group quieted down, until much later when Yun Xianghan sent a message.

"Ye Chen won't really be sleeping, will he?" Yun Xianghan messaged in the group, feeling somewhat uncertain.

"We were so obvious, Ye Chen should have no reason not to see through it, right? This is just a prank, we just wanted him to coax us, could he actually be angry?" Su Binglan said.

"That's possible, Ye Chen is quite petty…" Li Yan said.

"I said earlier, don't make trouble, don't make trouble, but you didn't listen, see what happened now!" Yun Xianghan said helplessly.

"Who knew Ye Chen would be so petty, doesn't love us at all…" Su Binglan lost her temper.

"Alright, it seems Ye Chen really slept, let's sleep soon too!" Zhang Xinlan said.

"..."

Just like that, the Mrs. Ye group returned to silence, the women closed the group with complex feelings, counted sheep, and went to sleep.

Next day.

Sunshine streamed through the window, shining on Ye Chen's face, creating a poetic scene.

Liu Shihua had already woken up but didn't get up, she quietly watched Ye Chen, observing his sleeping face.

After a few minutes, Ye Chen woke up and inexplicably sighed.

"I wonder if I'm overthinking, making myself so tired!"

The dragon vein in the capital was coveted by people, Saint Linglong, Long Chan, and Qing Luo had yet to be settled, the apocalypse disaster was about to strike, Ye Chen was contemplating arrangements, but Su Binglan and the others were tirelessly tormenting him… Ye Chen didn't even know what to do.

"Did you look through my phone?" Liu Shihua asked slyly.

"I did." Ye Chen didn't deny it.

"They did it on purpose!" Liu Shihua chuckled. "You brought over women from the Canglan Realm, they fear you might transfer your affections and stop caring about them, so they purposely deceived you, wanting to see if you still care for them!"

"Do they have admirers?" Ye Chen asked.

"Yes, they have admirers, and no shortage of pursuers." Liu Shihua nodded. "However, they all ignore those admirers, the person in their heart has always been you!"

"What about you?" Ye Chen asked sharply.
