"Ye Xiao, what would you do if I married someone else?" Guan Xiaonan sat on the sofa, looking at the steaming noodle dish on the table, feeling touched, and suddenly turned to Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao, hearing what Guan Xiaonan said, chuckled and replied, "Have you forgotten? You're mine for life, and you're still thinking about marrying someone else? Could it be that you really want to marry some old geezer?"

"Ye Xiao, I'm not joking with you!" Guan Xiaonan said earnestly, her eyes slightly reddened.

Ye Xiao, noticing something was wrong with Guan Xiaonan's expression, immediately asked, "What happened? What's going on?"

"My father and elder martial brother want me to marry Xiong Tao." Guan Xiaonan was on the verge of crying.

Ye Xiao wasn't surprised by this news, because he had overheard the conversation between Guan Chongshan and Xiong Tao at the Noel Hotel last time. Xiong Tao had something over Guan Chongshan, so Guan Chongshan had no choice but to comply. That leverage, Ye Xiao also knew about it, and he understood that if it were exposed, Guan Chongshan wouldn't just be settled with paying money; he might very well lose his life!

This was also why Guan Chongshan would rather sacrifice his own daughter. Actually, it was straightforward. Even if Guan Xiaonan wasn't sacrificed and Guan Chongshan died, Guan Xiaonan would still be bullied by people like Xiong Tao. Rather, it was better to let his daughter marry well and gloriously.

Ye Xiao could understand Guan Chongshan's predicament.

However, Ye Xiao didn't want to tell Guan Xiaonan about this because he felt that she shouldn't be involved in such a conspiracy. It would do her no good!

"I've told you, you belong to me. If you don't want to marry some old geezer, then it's best not to think about marrying someone else!" Ye Xiao said, picking up the noodles and smelling them by the edge of his nose—delicious!

Guan Xiaonan, hearing Ye Xiao's words, furrowed her brows and said, "I'm not joking with you!"

Ye Xiao slowly looked up at Guan Xiaonan, his face carrying a breeze-like smile, and said, "Do you think I'm joking?"

"Huh?"

Guan Xiaonan, seeing Ye Xiao's smiling yet utterly serious face, was taken aback.

Ye Xiao continued, "No one can take away the woman I have chosen from my side, unless, haha, unless they don't want to live. Now, hurry up and eat, have a rest after that, and don't think about anything."

As if compelled, Guan Xiaonan nodded her head and then began eating the noodle dish!

Ye Xiao's cooking was truly amazing; simple noodles, yet irresistibly moreish, making one want to go for a second and third bite!

Soon, the two had finished the noodles completely, and Ye Xiao then picked up the dishes and utensils to wash.

"Leave them, I'll wash!" Guan Xiaonan felt somewhat embarrassed to let Ye Xiao cook and then do the dishes.

But Ye Xiao said, "Go take a rest, I'll wash the dishes."

Guan Xiaonan watched Ye Xiao walk into the kitchen, immediately feeling a warm sensation. Soon after, the girl obediently returned to her room and lay down on the bed.

Meanwhile, Ye Xiao washed the dishes in the kitchen and tidied up before he went to the living room and lay down on the sofa!

At that moment, Ye Xiao's mind was naturally preoccupied with Guan Xiaonan. Xiong Tao actually wanted to marry the woman he had his eye on. This guy really needed a lesson, although he had caught Guan Chongshan's weakness. But what did that have to do with him? It wasn't his own secret that was caught!

Thus, Ye Xiao decided that at the right time, he would give this fellow a proper lesson. Although Xiong Tao's father, Xiong Daoliang, was also formidable, for love, he would do many things that defied conventional reasoning!

Originally, Ye Xiao wanted to sleep, but after lying on the sofa for a mere ten minutes, he suddenly felt the need to urinate. Thus, he immediately stood up and went to the bathroom, passing by Guan Xiaonan's room. Peeking inside, he saw that Guan Xiaonan seemed to be asleep, so Ye Xiao gently closed her door!

In the bathroom, Ye Xiao urinated in a rush and was about to flush the toilet when he heard the door to Guan Xiaonan's house being opened!

"Little Cui, stop pressuring me. You know Xiaonan's temperament," Guan Chongshan's voice came through.

Then, another voice followed!

"Master, it's not me criticizing you, but things need to be handled decisively. Do you want Mr. Xiong to expose that matter?" Who else could it be but Cui Ji?

At that time, Guan Chongshan and Cui Ji continued their conversation while walking to the living room.

Guan Chongshan sat down with a grim expression, looked towards Cui Ji, and said, "Little Cui, I know you're with Xiong Tao now, but don't forget, I am your master, and Xiaonan your junior. Don't go too far!"

Hearing Guan Chongshan's words, Cui Ji immediately laughed and said, "Huh? Master, haven't you always said you were fond of me? Then why didn't you engage Xiaonan to me? If you had done so earlier, would this situation have arisen? It's all because of you wanting to engage her to Ye Xiao. Now what? What did Mr. Xiong say? Ye Xiao's days are numbered, even Li Dachong, Mr. Xiong's trusted aide, turned against him. Mr. Xiong will eventually kill Ye Xiao!"

When Cui Ji finished speaking, Ye Xiao, who was standing in the bathroom, suddenly froze!

Li Dachong is Mr. Xiong's subordinate? Who is Mr. Xiong? It had to be Xiong Daoliang!

So, last time at Minghai Academy, when his fight with Li Dachong was evenly matched and Xiong Daoliang later appeared and injured Li Dachong, was it intentional by Xiong Daoliang? Oh right, Li Dachong seemed fine later on, so does that mean when Ye Xiao saw Li Dachong injured, it was possibly fake?

Ye Xiao was secretly shocked, feeling that all these events might be related to Xiong Daoliang from Cui Ji's words!

Just then, Guan Chongshan said, "Ye Xiao is part of the Flame Dragon Team, and Xiong Daoliang is aware of that!"

"Ha, what about the Flame Dragon Team? Mr. Xiong can kill Ye Xiao without anyone noticing, but what about you? If the Flame Dragon Team finds out you used schemes to kill the previous president of Minghai Martial Arts Association, what do you think will happen to you?" Cui Ji sneered!

"Cui Ji!" Guan Chongshan shouted angrily.

Cui Ji chuckled and said to Guan Chongshan, "Don't be in a hurry, we can discuss things calmly. Don't get worked up. Don't you think it would be better if Xiaonan married Mr. Xiong, pleasing everyone and keeping your crime hidden? Moreover, since Ye Xiao killed Songzhu Jianyi, who was on good terms with Mr. Xiong, Ye Xiao's death is destined. So, I think there's no need for you to hesitate!"
