When Ye Xiao and company returned to the restaurant, those who were eating water-boiled fish and also gossiping about the tragic fate that might befall Ye Xiao were stunned when they saw Ye Xiao and the three beauties walk in!

Everyone knew that when Huang Zongyuan had taken Ye Xiao away, it was clear he intended to teach him a lesson. But unexpectedly, Ye Xiao was back, and it seemed as if nothing had happened to him, as if nothing had occurred at all!

Ye Xiao was chatting and laughing with three stunning women!

This didn't seem like someone who had just been beaten up!

The restaurant owner and the diners were all surprised to see Ye Xiao and his companions!

Arriving at their table, Ye Xiao, Ling Shuya, Zhou Yuyan, and Guan Xiaonan found that the fish hadn't been served yet!

Ye Xiao immediately gestured to the waiter!

A waiter rushed over and said with a smile, "Big brother, is there something you need?"

Hearing this, Ye Xiao really wanted to punch the waiter's head into his stomach. Wasn't this obvious? It seemed like they were here to eat, right?

"Where's our fish?" Ye Xiao asked the waiter with a look of grievance.

The waiter was startled and quickly replied, "Coming right up! Coming right up!"

After they all sat down, Zhou Yuyan laughed and said, "Look at how scared you made the waiter!"

"Oh, come on, is my image really that bad?" Ye Xiao said with a wry smile.

The waiter was indeed right; their water-boiled fish was served quickly. Ye Xiao tasted a piece of fish and found it extremely delicious. Although he wanted to comment on the flavor of the water-boiled fish, he realized that the three beauties in front of him had already started to eat voraciously, paying no attention to their public image. Guan Xiaonan had been a bit restrained at first, but she too began to eat with gusto alongside Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan!

"Ladies, can we eat a bit slower and mind our manners? This is a public place; can we show a bit of restraint, please?" Ye Xiao whispered to them.

One of the beauties replied, "Can restraint fill our stomachs? Pretentious decorum isn't as good as eating heartily!"

"That makes sense!" The other two beauties immediately agreed, giving a thumbs up and continuing to praise how delicious the water-boiled fish was while eating.

The water-boiled fish really was excellent, but Ye Xiao didn't eat much. It wasn't that he didn't want to eat, but the three beauties were looking like they still wanted more after they finished. Ye Xiao had thought about ordering another small pot, but Ling Shuya opposed it, saying she was already full and couldn't eat anymore as it might upset her stomach!

Ye Xiao said the beauties didn't have to eat.

But the beauties retorted that not being able to eat while others did was even more agonizing.

So, the group unanimously decided to pay the bill and leave.

"Overbearing, way too overbearing!" Ye Xiao stormed out, feeling indignant.

Listening to Ye Xiao's grievance-filled voice, Ling Shuya and the other women immediately smiled smugly.

Once in the car, of course, they had to drive Guan Xiaonan home!

Initially, Guan Xiaonan didn't want to be driven and suggested taking a taxi instead. However, Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan, the two righteous youngsters, insisted on driving her, and Ye Xiao, playing the role of the driver, naturally went wherever the beauties wanted.

After persistent questioning by Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan, Guan Xiaonan finally revealed her home address. Her home was close to the suburbs, in a community called Yixinyuan Plot. Although Yixinyuan Plot didn't have villas, it did boast high-end apartment buildings, and that was where Guan Xiaonan's home was!

When they arrived at Yixinyuan Plot, the guard at the entrance stopped them. Ye Xiao found that this seemed to happen every time he went to a high-end community. Could it be that the residents of such communities didn't drive these types of cars?

Guan Xiaonan poked her head out and said to the guard in a stern tone, "Open the gate!"

Recognizing Guan Xiaonan, the guard immediately said with a smile, "Oh, it's Xiaonan. Wait a moment, I'll lift the barrier."

Although the guard seemed friendly towards Guan Xiaonan, she kept a straight face as if he owed her money.

"You don't seem very friendly to them," Ye Xiao said to Guan Xiaonan with a smile.

Guan Xiaonan glanced at Ye Xiao and replied, "What does friendly mean? I'm not familiar with them!"

"But they seem to know you pretty well, and they even refer to you affectionately as Xiaonan," Ye Xiao said, chuckling.

"What are you thinking?" Guan Xiaonan said, "My dad knows them, that's all!"

As the car pulled up to the building in the heart of Yixinyuan Plot, two people emerged from the building, and Ye Xiao recognized them immediately: a middle-aged man and a young man!

The middle-aged man had a ruddy complexion, and although he was in his forties, he was lively and looked vigorous!

"Why is he here?" Guan Xiaonan knew that Ye Xiao and the young man weren't on good terms, so her brow furrowed slightly upon seeing the young man and her father walking out together.

The middle-aged man was none other than Guan Xiaonan's father, Guan Chongshan!

"Xiaonan, do you know these two?" Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan, unaware of their relationship with Guan Xiaonan, immediately asked.

Guan Xiaonan replied, "That's my dad and... well, my senior brother."

"Senior brother?" Zhou Yuyan immediately looked at Guan Xiaonan with curiosity.

Guan Xiaonan said, "Yes, he's my father's disciple, and since he's older than me, he's my senior brother. Come play at my house for a while!"

"Forget it!"

"Okay!"

These two responses came from the mouths of two different people!

The first voice was naturally Ye Xiao's. Seeing Guan Chongshan and Cui Ji come out together, he had no intention of facing Cui Ji. Of course, he wasn't afraid of Cui Ji; he just didn't want to make things awkward for Guan Xiaonan in her presence!

Ye Xiao was well aware of his own temper. If Cui Ji had said anything unpleasant, it would have been difficult for him to hold back!

And the second voice belonged to Ling Shuya!

Ling Shuya had no idea about the story between Ye Xiao and Cui Ji; she was just curious and wanted to go check out Guan Xiaonan's home, taking the opportunity to become familiar with the place!

Hearing Ye Xiao say he wouldn't go, Ling Shuya immediately expressed her displeasure, "You just decide not to go like that? Besides, Xiaonan has invited us over. If you don't want to go, then just stay down here!"

With that, Ling Shuya opened the car door and got out!

As soon as Ling Shuya got out of the car, Guan Xiaonan and Zhou Yuyan also stepped out!

Ye Xiao found a parking spot and parked the car.

Once Ling Shuya, Zhou Yuyan, and Guan Xiaonan stepped out, Guan Chongshan and Cui Ji saw them. Cui Ji was delighted to see Guan Xiaonan, but upon noticing the two stunning beauties beside her, his eyes lit up with interest!

Men are always curious about beautiful women, and as martial artists with abundant energy, their curiosity towards beautiful women becomes even more intensified. However, some can control themselves, while others find it difficult!

Cui Ji was one that found it difficult to control himself.

"Xiaonan!" Cui Ji called out cheerfully to Guan Xiaonan.

Guan Xiaonan greeted him with a smile, then turned to Guan Chongshan and said, "Dad!"

Guan Chongshan smiled and said, "Why are you back so late today? These are your classmates, right?"

"Uncle Guan, hello, my name is Ling Shuya, and I'm Xiaonan's schoolmate!" Ling Shuya cheerfully introduced herself to Guan Chongshan.

Zhou Yuyan also followed suit, "Uncle Guan, hello!"

Guan Chongshan looked at Ling Shuya, and upon hearing her surname and knowing what kind of school Minghai Academy was, he immediately inquired, "It seems that Ling Hengyu must be related to you, right?"

Ling Shuya responded at once, "Ling Hengyu is indeed my father. Uncle Guan, do you know my dad?"

Guan Chongshan laughed heartily and said, "Of course I know him, we've been good friends for many years!"

Ling Shuya immediately said to Guan Chongshan, "Uncle Guan, you're welcome to visit our house anytime!"

"Good, good, good. Hengyu is lucky to have such a daughter!" Guan Chongshan was saying this when suddenly his eyes spotted a young man coming down from the Infiniti QX.

Although it was night, Guan Chongshan could still recognize the man at a glance. It was none other than Ye Xiao!

Guan Chongshan was not surprised. It was only natural for Ye Xiao to be here if Ling Shuya was present.

Seeing Ye Xiao didn't stir much emotion in Guan Chongshan; however, upon seeing Ye Xiao, Cui Ji's face turned cold.

Cui Ji harbored a great hostility towards Ye Xiao because he couldn't defeat him and had been forced to apologize to Ye Xiao under Wang Dexin's coercion. All these matters fueled Cui Ji's resentment!

But now, Ye Xiao had appeared here again, and what was more, Ling Shuya had just ridden here in that Infiniti!

Cui Ji's biggest fear at the moment was someone competing with him for Guan Xiaonan.

Guan Xiaonan was Guan Chongshan's only beloved daughter. Only by becoming Guan Chongshan's son-in-law would he truly pass on his lifetime of knowledge to Cui Ji, who had his own plans!

Yet, here was Ye Xiao once again!

"Is he with you?" Cui Ji asked Guan Xiaonan, puzzled.

Guan Xiaonan nodded and said, "Ye Xiao was the one giving me a ride."

Hearing this, that Ye Xiao had apparently come specifically to give her a ride, Cui Ji grew even more displeased and angrily said, "Xiaonan, if you need a ride next time, call me. I'll come to pick you up. Don't associate with those shady characters again!"

After Cui Ji finished speaking, Guan Xiaonan frowned slightly. Although Guan Chongshan also heard, he didn't react too much since Cui Ji was his proud disciple, and now an adult, Guan Chongshan always let love matters run their course.

However, Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan, who heard these words, were immediately greatly displeased!

Especially Ling Shuya, who, without any reservation, glared at Cui Ji and said loudly, "You extraterrestrial being, who are you calling shady?"

Cui Ji was stunned by Ling Shuya's sudden scolding; he had not expected that a mere comment would provoke so much anger from her.

"I wasn't talking about you!" Cui Ji quickly explained, worried Ling Shuya had misunderstood.

Ling Shuya did not say another word but just pushed Cui Ji and said loudly, "Do you think I don't know you were referring to Ye Xiao? Try saying that one more time!"

At that moment, Ye Xiao, who was walking by, heard Ling Shuya's loud words and immediately realized something was wrong. He quickly ran over!
