"What do we need help for? Your mom and I do this bit of work every day; how could it wear us out? You wouldn't listen and had to come even though you shouldn't. After studying for a week, you should rest this weekend. Ye Xiao, help me talk some sense into this girl. She doesn't know how to enjoy good fortune!" Qin Erzhu scolded in a chiding manner.

Ye Xiao was smart enough to see that this was actually a roundabout way of praising his own daughter. How could he not see through it? But still, he humored him by smiling and saying, "Uncle Qin, that's not quite right. As the younger generation, we should take more worries off your shoulders, especially after all the hard work you've put in over the years."

"Ye Xiao is so sensible. Alright, you two talk. We'll be going first. Lu Lu, you go back in a while," Qin Erzhu said with a stern face!

Yulu frowned and looked at Qin Erzhu, saying, "Dad..."

"Dad what, dad? What's the matter? You don't listen to me now? Ye Xiao, give her a good talking to, let her know she has to listen to her old man!" Qin Erzhu said to Ye Xiao!

Ye Xiao smiled gently and said, "Certainly! Certainly!"

Qin Erzhu and his wife then left in their cart, while Ye Xiao stood there and chuckled to himself!

"Still laughing? What's so funny!" Yulu glared at Ye Xiao, puffed up with indignation, as if her father's scolding had all been Ye Xiao's fault.

"When you get praised, of course, you feel happy!" Ye Xiao said with pride. "By the way, your dad just asked me to talk to you. So, what do you say? Will you listen to my lecture?"

"Hmph, now my dad thinks you can do no wrong, and I can do nothing right. Why can't I come? They work so hard every day; the least I can do is help out a bit, but they won't let me!" Yulu said, frowning.

Ye Xiao replied to Yulu with a smile, "That's where you're wrong. You should understand what Uncle Qin is thinking; he doesn't want you to suffer, that's the heart of all parents."

"I know that, of course, but I just don't want to be restricted in everything I do!" Yulu said, her face filled with annoyance.

Ye Xiao sighed softly, smiled slightly, and said, "You should feel happy to have such parents, not angry. Listen to your dad, go back, and study hard. That's the best way to repay their hard work."

"Why do you sound just like my dad, huh? I'm studying perfectly fine. By the way, why are you out so early? Don't tell me you didn't go home last night," Yulu said to Ye Xiao!

Ye Xiao smiled slightly and replied, "Sort of."

"What do you mean 'sort of'? Did you really not go home?" Yulu said, surprised at Ye Xiao's reply, "Clubbing all night isn't a good thing!"

Thinking that Ye Xiao hadn't gone home because he was out clubbing, Ye Xiao just smiled slightly and, feeling too lazy to explain, said, "Just some stuff."

"Hmph, 'just some stuff', you really know how to make excuses for yourself. Hmm, why don't you eat breakfast at my dad's place before you take care of your 'stuff'?" Yulu asked tentatively!

"No, thanks. Your parents don't know about the time you were caught, do they?"

"No, I haven't told them. I'm still hesitant about whether or not to tell them!" Yulu said!

Ye Xiao said, "Since you haven't told them, it's better not to. It wouldn't do any good and would only worry them. I should get going now. I'll catch up with you when I'm free!"

"Alright, then!"

Following that, Ye Xiao left immediately.

As Yulu watched Ye Xiao's retreating figure, she felt a deep sense of loss. She had so many things she wanted to say to him, but now that she actually saw him, she couldn't say a word.

However, just at that moment, Ye Xiao suddenly turned around and looked at Yulu.

"Hey!"

Yulu looked at Ye Xiao, who was smiling at her, with a puzzled expression.

"You sang really well at the party!" Ye Xiao said.

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Yulu was taken aback for a moment before suddenly saying, "Ye Xiao, wait a sec!"

"What's up?"

Yulu stepped forward and asked Ye Xiao, "Do I look like my parents?"

"Not at all!" Ye Xiao replied.

Yulu immediately insisted, "Really? Not in the slightest?"

Ye Xiao, seeing how anxious Yulu seemed, laughed and said, "Of course not, you're not the same person, how could you be identical!"

"I'm talking about resemblance. Are you saying there's no resemblance whatsoever?" Yulu pressed.

When Ye Xiao thought about it as Yulu asked, looking at her beautiful face, he suddenly realized that Yulu and the Qin parents really didn't seem to have anything in common at all. It was as if there was not a single similarity.

To put it bluntly, Qin Erzhu and his wife both were short and unimpressive, so how had they produced a beauty like Yulu? Could it be a genetic mutation?

"Why do you ask all of a sudden?" Ye Xiao inquired, looking at Yulu with curiosity.

With hesitation written all over her face, Yulu frowned and said, "Someone told me I'm not my parents' daughter."

Hearing this, Ye Xiao burst into laughter and said to Yulu, "Who would say such ridiculous things? They must be out of their mind."

"It might not be the case; nevertheless, I don't believe it either. But I'm asking you—do you think I resemble my parents at all?" Yulu asked Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao smiled faintly and said, "Of course, how could there not be?"

"Then in what way are we alike?" Yulu asked again.

Ye Xiao couldn't for the life of him find any trace of Qin Erzhu and his wife in Yulu, not even a hint. Yet, since Yulu had such doubts, it meant she was now somewhat suspicious. Although Ye Xiao found it boring, he still said to Yulu with a smile, "Strikingly similar!"

"Strikingly similar?" Yulu asked, puzzled, "Is that your answer to my question?"

"Nonsense! That's exactly what it is, and besides, who told you that parents and children must look alike? There are inferior and superior genes, don't you know that?" Ye Xiao exclaimed.

"Is that so?" Yulu asked, bewildered.

"Obviously, you don't know that much. Better hit the books!" Ye Xiao said and then walked away.

"Strikingly similar..." Yulu murmured the words to herself, feeling a sense of relief in her heart; she thought Ye Xiao was pretty spot-on.

As Ye Xiao walked away, he couldn't help but laugh. Yulu was hilarious, suspecting that she wasn't her parents' biological child. But he wondered who would have played such a joke on Yulu.

At this time, there weren't many people on the street as it was only about five o'clock; Ye Xiao soon arrived at the Guard Bureau.

Though the Guard Bureau was well-guarded, who was Ye Xiao if not someone who could walk through walls and remain unnoticed, so when Yang Ming came to work, he found Ye Xiao sound asleep in his office!

"Where's Ye Xiao?" Ye Xiao, who had been lying on the bed in the office playing with his phone, suddenly heard someone outside asking Yang Ming about him.
