Martial Arts Master in the City

Chapter 1058: Dove in a Cage


Nanfeng Building!

This is a very famous shopping center in Bird City. You could say that there's nothing you can't buy here; it's just a matter of whether or not you buy it.

Any fashion brand can be found here.

It's already around 2:30 PM now. Since coming out from Hua Qianqiu, it's already been more than an hour. Ye Xiao is following behind, holding at least seven or eight paper bags in his hands, all filled with brand-name clothes.

Ye Xiao really can't understand how women's brains work. Why buy clothes that look pretty much the same? And why does a woman's scarf cost 3,200 yuan?

To Ye Xiao, shopping is a purposeful verb. You think of something, run to a store, buy it, and leave immediately.

However, Jiang Miaoke and Qi Xin are completely different. At least, they are completely different from Ye Xiao. They started from the second floor of Nanfeng Building, and now they've only reached the third floor. You know, Nanfeng Building has a total of thirty-six floors. Ye Xiao really doesn't know how many floors they can reach this afternoon. He remembers that when they entered, Jiang Miaoke told Ye Xiao that the top floor of Nanfeng Building has a café with very aromatic coffee. She said after shopping, they would go there for coffee.

But at this rate, when will that coffee be drunk?

"Hey, Ye Xiao, why do you look so listless? Is it really that heavy?" Jiang Miaoke and Qi Xin are chatting and laughing, but suddenly notice Ye Xiao seems absent from their side. They immediately turn around to see Ye Xiao at least three or four meters away, looking completely unenergetic.

Ye Xiao, hearing Jiang Miaoke's words, quickly steps forward and says, "Coco, why don't we find a place to rest for a bit?"

"Rest?" Jiang Miaoke hears Ye Xiao's words, immediately looks at him with disdain, and says, "Ye Xiao, you're a man, but us little girls haven't even complained about being tired, and you already are. There's a small ice cream shop on the fourth floor. If you want to rest, you can wait for us there."

"Ah? Is that alright?" Ye Xiao says this, but in his heart, he feels extremely happy. After all, if he can find a place to rest now, and even have ice cream, that would be fantastic.

Jiang Miaoke originally said this to make Ye Xiao feel embarrassed, to show him what looking bad is. However, little did she know, Ye Xiao did not feel embarrassed at all; instead, he was delighted, like he had won first prize.

But since it was Jiang Miaoke who said it and she's someone with a stubborn mouth, she said, "What's wrong with that? Ye Xiao, you can pull off anything, can't you?"

Ye Xiao, this guy, really isn't afraid of being embarrassed. Instead, he chuckled and said, "Then I'll head there first. You take your time browsing. Oh, here's my card, swipe it as you please. I'm a man of means now."

Ye Xiao directly handed over a bank card to Jiang Miaoke. Jiang Miaoke immediately looked at the somewhat grimy card with disdain, but at this point, Ye Xiao had already blended into the crowd, seemingly heading for that ice cream shop.

"This guy, doesn't he have any gentlemanly manners, actually leaving the two of us here." Jiang Miaoke immediately looked displeased, even a bit angry.

"Coco, it seems you forgot something," Qi Xin suddenly reminded.

Jiang Miaoke was puzzled upon hearing Qi Xin's words and said, "Forgot what?"

"You didn't ask Ye Xiao for the PIN to the card," Qi Xin pointed at the bank card in Jiang Miaoke's hand and said.

Hearing Qi Xin's reminder, Jiang Miaoke realized that she indeed forgot. Without the PIN, what's the use of this bank card?

"That damn Ye Xiao!" Jiang Miaoke couldn't help but say.

By this time, Ye Xiao, hurriedly leaving, felt a sense of relief. After all, not having to follow these two girls shopping is just great. At least for the next half hour, he could enjoy himself in the ice cream shop. This was like heaven on earth.

Ye Xiao is quite smart. Although he didn't know where the ice cream shop was, with a mouth under his nose, he could naturally ask. After chatting up several beauties, Ye Xiao finally arrived on the fourth floor, where he found a place called Happy Icehouse, the ice cream shop. There were quite a few people here, but Ye Xiao quickly spotted an empty seat just after he walked in and quickly went over, placing his things beside the seat.

For some reason, perhaps it's a common issue among men: although they're big and tall guys, as soon as they go shopping, there's always this feeling of wanting to rest, as if all their energy was drained, or maybe it's that deep inside, they subconsciously don't want to go shopping.

Ye Xiao hoped that Jiang Miaoke would be willing to let him pay, allowing Jiang Miaoke and Qi Xin to go shopping while he could rest in the ice house.

Ye Xiao ordered a chocolate sundae and then took out his phone, bored, and opened Bird, only to find nobody had left him any messages. Ye Xiao suddenly felt a little disappointed. However, at that moment, he suddenly discovered there was a short message from someone wanting to add him as a friend.

Ye Xiao, of course, didn't know whose Bird number it was. He only knew the person was a girl, and that the nickname of this Bird number was "Dove in the Cage"!

Ye Xiao couldn't help but mutter, "Interesting, 'Dove in the Cage'?"

Out of curiosity, Ye Xiao added this person as a friend. However, this "Dove in the Cage" didn't send a message immediately, probably because she wasn't online at that moment.

Since she wasn't online, Ye Xiao didn't stay too focused on it. Instead, he planned to find a reading page on his phone's Bird app to look for a soothing novel to read.

But just then, Ye Xiao suddenly detected a faint fragrance. Slightly raising his eyes, he noticed that the previously empty seat opposite him was now occupied by someone. It was a woman with skin as delicate as jade, and her exquisitely beautiful face made Ye Xiao's heart skip a beat.

"Sister An!" Ye Xiao sweetly smiled and spoke to the beautiful woman in front of him.

The woman in front was none other than An Meihui.

Though Ye Xiao was surprised to see An Meihui appear here, he quickly realized that as the Rothschild family's representative in Chu City, it makes sense if she has a few tricks up her sleeve.

With a smile, An Meihui looked at Ye Xiao and said, "You don't seem surprised at all."

"Tell me a reason why you're surprised!" Ye Xiao looked at An Meihui with a smile.

An Meihui smiled slightly and said, "Did you know I would come to find you?"

"Since you can know that Zhou Hao is my brother, why can't I know that you would come to find me?" Ye Xiao said as he spooned ice cream into his mouth.

An Meihui looked at Ye Xiao and said, "Aren't you planning to treat me to some ice cream?"

Ye Xiao smiled and said, "I think it's better if you pay for it yourself."

"You misunderstand me!" An Meihui said.

Ye Xiao couldn't help but smile and said, "I don't think so!"

"'R' has started to notice you." An Meihui suddenly said, looking at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao, who was eating ice cream, paused for a moment with his spoon in hand due to An Meihui's words.

'R'!

Obviously, it's the shorthand for the Rothschild family, at least that's how An Meihui referred to it while she was talking to Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao's pause lasted less than two seconds before he returned to normal.

"This doesn't seem to have much to do with me." Ye Xiao said, "A lot of people have always paid attention to me."

An Meihui looked at Ye Xiao, she understood why Ye Xiao was so indifferent to her at the moment.

"People who 'R' pay attention to are either enemies or friends. I hope you can be friends." An Meihui said very seriously at that moment: "Firstly, those who oppose 'R' almost never end well."

"You're threatening me!" Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow at An Meihui.

An Meihui immediately shook her head and said, "No, absolutely not. I'm just giving you advice as a friend."

"Friend?" Ye Xiao looked at An Meihui!

An Meihui said, "I hope we can be friends!"

"Hehe!" Ye Xiao didn't say anything, just grinned.

An Meihui thought for a moment and said, "The matter of Zhou Hao needing the Red Dragon Fruit is known only by me, 'R' doesn't know."

Ye Xiao didn't look at An Meihui anymore, but instead at his phone. The 'White Dove in a Cage' had just sent him a message.

"You're breaking their rules." Ye Xiao said calmly.

At the same time, Ye Xiao also saw the Bird message.

'I am Yuyan!'

When Ye Xiao saw this, he was instantly delighted. He hadn't expected to get in touch with Yuyan. You must know, after Yuyan left, she changed her phone. Although Zhou Hao and Ling Shuya knew, Ye Xiao was embarrassed to ask them.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yuyan managed to find his Bird number.

However, after that fleeting moment of joy, Ye Xiao suddenly felt a bit of heartache.

White Dove in a Cage!

Is this how Zhou Yuyan is describing herself? Zhou Yuyan's departure to Yan Capital City was clearly helpless. She didn't want to leave, but she had to.

And once in Yan Capital City, Zhou Yuyan might just be a caged dove.

Ye Xiao sighed, suddenly feeling afraid, afraid of hearing Zhou Yuyan's dissatisfaction.

An Meihui looked at Ye Xiao, who seemed somewhat distracted at that moment, and secretly sighed before saying, "Sorry, I haven't found out about Wu Laoliu's matter yet."

Ye Xiao heard An Meihui's words, then looked up and smiled slightly, saying, "It's okay, if it were easy to find, you wouldn't have come to look for me."

An Meihui looked at Ye Xiao's indifferent smile at that moment, thought for a moment, and said, "I can give you the Red Dragon Fruit at any time, at twenty percent above the regional market price."

"Thank you, but let's stick to the original price." Ye Xiao's eyes dropped again, looking at his phone.
