Ye Xiao held the letter in his hand, eyeing the flowing, cursive script on it. The normally nonchalant and playful smile on Ye Xiao's face slowly turned serious.

He hadn't planned to seriously read the old man's letter, but as he read on, he realized he had been wrong. He truly needed to read it carefully, so he scrutinized every single word with utmost attention!

After finishing,

"Old man, old man, it seems I really did misunderstand you—you're truly the greatest benefactor in my life!" Holding the letter, Ye Xiao looked up to the sky and let out a long howl, bursting into hearty laughter as he spoke.

Shen Qiuyu was immediately puzzled, watching Ye Xiao with an expression that clearly showed her confusion. What exactly was written in the letter?

"Ye Xiao, what's the matter? What did the old man—oh, I mean, what did the master say?" Shen Qiuyu asked, puzzled, as she looked at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao turned to Shen Qiuyu, couldn't help but to wrap her in his arms, laughing heartily as he said, "The master said, he sent you here to be my wife, Miss Shen, come on and give your young master a kiss!"

Shen Qiuyu truly hadn't expected Ye Xiao to hold her tight in public and to speak such unabashed words. She didn't believe for a second that her master would instruct Ye Xiao to do such a thing!

"Ye Xiao, get up, let go of me now—there are a lot of people here. If you don't get up, I'll be angry!" Shen Qiuyu's face turned a bashful red as she feigned anger at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao chuckled mischievously but didn't let go, instead saying to Shen Qiuyu, "Heh, Miss Shen is angry? I've never seen Miss Shen angry before. Show me, get angry for me!"

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's teasing words, Shen Qiuyu immediately blurted out without thinking, "I am angry!"

"Oh dear, that really won't do, will it? In such a public place? Getting angry here might be a bit indecent!" Ye Xiao said, his face bearing a mischievous grin.

Shen Qiuyu realized the implication of Ye Xiao's words the moment she heard them. Ye Xiao had purposefully provoked her, and without thinking, she had just blurted out "I am angry"—but what did she mean by that? Was it anger or actually... giving birth?

Uninformed people would undoubtedly misunderstand!

At this moment, hearing Ye Xiao's words and seeing that mischievous look on his face, Shen Qiuyu felt the urge to faint. It seemed she had never won a verbal spar with Ye Xiao from childhood to adult!

"You... let go of me first!" Shen Qiuyu's face was flushed.

Ye Xiao maintained his mischievous smile as he looked at Shen Qiuyu, saying, "I won't let go, I simply won't!"

Shen Qiuyu, feeling helpless upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, was about to speak when suddenly a somewhat weak voice came from nearby.

"Let her go!"

Ye Xiao was slightly startled. Here he was, engaging in a playful flirtation with his senior sister, and someone actually had the nerve to interfere?

Ye Xiao did indeed release Shen Qiuyu, turned to look at the person speaking. Expecting a female's voice, he was surprised to see a young man about one meter seventy-five tall, a thin figure wearing glasses, carrying a backpack, and holding a book in his hand.

The boy's face was a bit pale, but his eyes were fixed firmly on Ye Xiao. Though he appeared as if a gust of wind could knock him over, at that moment he displayed great fortitude.

Leaning against the car, Ye Xiao smiled and asked the young man, "Are you talking to me?"

The boy looked seriously at Ye Xiao, replying, "Yes!"

Ye Xiao asked, "But do you know what our relationship is?"

"You two? Aren't you just a hooligan?" The boy's face mixed three parts doubt with seven parts innocence as he observed Ye Xiao.

Even Shen Qiuyu, whose face had been scarlet, couldn't help but reveal a smile, then looked proudly at Ye Xiao.

Hearing the boy's words, Ye Xiao felt a genuine headache brewing. Who on earth was this guy? He seemed to see right through him at first glance!

"Thanks for speaking out about my interests, but, I have to clarify something—that Miss Shen is my friend, you might even think of her as my girlfriend, but definitely not a stranger. So, I feel like you're being somewhat nosy and, to a certain extent, you've interrupted my good fortune. I was thinking of teaching you a lesson, but as you can see, I am a rogue. However, as a rogue, I'm also a 'fine china' kind of rogue, so fine china does not clash with pottery. It's best if you just leave!"

After saying this, Ye Xiao didn't bother with the meddlesome young man anymore. He could tell that the young man was just an ordinary person, someone he could pulverize to dust with the flick of a finger. Besides, this guy seemed pretty righteous, so Ye Xiao decided to let him off the hook.

But then!

"You're insulting me!" The boy looked coldly at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao's face showed utter helplessness. It seemed he had encountered someone who loved to make a mountain out of a molehill!

"Are you sure you want to keep talking to me here? You're really not afraid I'll beat you up?" Ye Xiao's eyes appreciated the flushed face of Shen Qiuyu, but his words were meant for the boy!

The boy seemed to be an equally stubborn fellow and wasn't about to give up. He yelled at Ye Xiao, "I know I probably can't beat you, but that doesn't mean you can insult me. You need to apologize to me right now!"

Ye Xiao felt like he had heard the funniest joke in the world. This guy first interrupted his moment and then called me a hooligan, and now he wants me to apologize!

People can be excessive, but there's a limit to everything, at least, in front of a beauty, one mustn't go too far!

With a sway of his body, the boy only felt a rush of wind. By then, Ye Xiao was already standing in front of him!

The boy was slightly stunned; he clearly had a hard time accepting how Ye Xiao could move so fast, it was practically instantaneous!

"Are you sure you don't want to leave now?" Ye Xiao looked at the boy.

Shen Qiuyu immediately walked over, looked at the boy, and said, "You should leave. We are friends; you've misunderstood!"

However, the boy, despite being surprised, did not leave. After hearing Shen Qiuyu's words, he insisted seriously, "No one can insult me, no matter who it is. Now it's a matter between two men, it's got nothing to do with you!"

At that moment, Shen Qiuyu even felt the urge to give the guy a beating. What kind of person is this in this day and age? What is he trying to do? So unrelenting—is he like gum stuck to my shoe?

"I like this attitude of yours. That's right, it's a matter between men, but I will definitely not apologize to you unless you can knock me down!" Ye Xiao looked at the boy and said.

The boy hesitated for a moment and then said, "I can't beat you, but you still need to apologize to me, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?" Ye Xiao sneered. Did this guy really think he could threaten me?

But what Ye Xiao and Shen Qiuyu hadn't expected was that the boy would give an answer that left them dumbfounded!

"Otherwise, I'll just keep following you around until you apologize to me!" The boy said with a stubborn look on his face.

Ye Xiao and Shen Qiuyu heard what he said, looked at each other—me looking at you, you looking at me. Could this guy be stupid? Is this really his threat?

Shen Qiuyu hesitated for a moment, looked at Ye Xiao, and said, "How about you just apologize?"

Ye Xiao looked at the boy in front of him and said, "Alright, since you think you can keep up with me, then follow me!"

Then Ye Xiao turned to Shen Qiuyu and said, "Miss Shen, the old man in the letter told you to follow me, so I've decided to arrange for you to attend Minghai Academy!"

"What? You mean I'll be going to school too?" Shen Qiuyu was very confused when she heard what Ye Xiao said.

Ye Xiao nodded and replied, "You're so smart!"

Shen Qiuyu said, "But I hardly have any literary foundation. How am I supposed to study? I don't want to embarrass myself in this school!"

Ye Xiao immediately exclaimed, "Miss Shen, you're smart and clever. You can surely do it. Besides, going to school doesn't necessarily mean studying, you know!"

Ye Xiao said this and then looked at the boy, asking, "Since you want to be with me all the time, tell me your name. Also, are you a student at this school?"

The boy didn't try to hide anything and directly said, "I'm Tang Xuewen, a new transfer student!"

"Hey, we three share the same status then!" Ye Xiao said, "Tang Xuewen, huh? You should be going to report to the principal, right? Good, we're heading there too. So this time, even if you don't want to follow, you've got no choice!"

After saying that, Ye Xiao walked towards the inside of the school with Shen Qiuyu, and Tang Xuewen really followed.

When the security guard at the gate saw Ye Xiao coming, he immediately greeted him with a grin. As for Shen Qiuyu, the guard gave her an even hotter look. Ye Xiao glared at the security guard, who instantly dared not stare anymore, and turned his gaze to Tang Xuewen.

The guard looked at Tang Xuewen and asked, "Hey, what are you doing here? Are you with Brother Xiao?"

"Brother Xiao?" Tang Xuewen looked at Ye Xiao walking ahead and asked in confusion, "You mean that person?"

The guard immediately said, "You don't know Brother Xiao? It seems you're not really a student from this school. Hurry along now!"

Tang Xuewen quickly explained, "I'm a new transfer student. I need to go to see the principal to report immediately!"

"Transfer student?" The security guard paused, recalling that Ye Xiao had also claimed to be a transfer student when he arrived. But now, Ye Xiao was a big name at Minghai Academy!

Although Zhan Bo is the one commonly talked about in Minghai, a class and a small part of the students inside the school still knew who Ye Xiao was!

The security guard instantly refrained from underestimating Tang Xuewen. Even though he didn't know Tang Xuewen's background, he didn't dare to stop him anymore. Who knows if this Tang Xuewen would become someone like Ye Xiao in the future? The guard had learned to be wise.
