Ye Xiao picked up his phone and looked at the number. It was one he hadn't seen before, but what caught his eye was that it was already 7:40 a.m.

He was immediately surprised and had a guess who might be calling.

"Ye Xiao, what's going on? Did you run off?" Xia Mingyue's voice came through the phone.

Hearing Xia Mingyue's voice, Ye Xiao immediately chuckled and said, "Mr. Xia, listen to yourself, why would I run off? I'm on my way now. It's just, when I came to Bird City, I didn't bring any clothes to change into. I had planned to buy some yesterday, but then I went to get maintenance done on your car. You know how dirty my clothes can get, so I didn't feel right meeting you like that."

"Nice try," Xia Mingyue snorted. "Quit the sweet talk. Where are you? Get over here first."

Ye Xiao replied, "Actually, Mr. Xia, maybe I should go buy some clothes first, then head to the office. It would save you some face, too."

"All this nonsense, do you think I'm that eager to have you come over?" Xia Mingyue, hearing Ye Xiao's hesitation, grew even more irritated.

Ye Xiao found it strange that Xia Mingyue seemed to be in a rush to find him. Not wanting to delay, after all, Xia Mingyue was his boss now.

"Yes, I'll be right there!" said Ye Xiao.

As for Ye Xiao, because of the misunderstanding with Li Sitong, he was somewhat annoyed but decided to let it go after stepping outside. After all, if Li Sitong had been in her normal state, he might have truly considered it. So, being mistaken might not be too bad, considering he had already been with Ling Shuya. Could he possibly get involved with Li Sitong as well? That would be too messy.

Ye Xiao gave a wry smile, then hurriedly left the rental place.

Ye Xiao's rental was close to the Tulip District where Xia Mingyue lived. So, it didn't take long for him to arrive at the entrance to the Tulip District!

"Hey, what are you doing?" As Ye Xiao approached the gate, several security guards wearing outfits similar to police uniforms stopped him. Although similar to police uniforms, they were definitely not, as the bright characters 'Dongsheng Property' were emblazoned on their chests.

Clearly, they were security guards employed by Dongsheng Property.

Ye Xiao looked at the security guard approaching him, chuckled, and asked, "What's up, big brother?"

"Heh, you're asking me?" said the guard. "Shouldn't I be the one asking you? What sneaky business do you have here coming in looking all shifty?" The guard looked down disdainfully at Ye Xiao's dirty clothes and said, "This isn't a place for begging."

Begging?

Ye Xiao was taken aback by the guard's words, then quickly realized the guard had mistaken him for a beggar.

But Ye Xiao didn't get angry. Instead, he looked at the guard with a grin and said, "Big brother, I'm not here to beg. Someone with the last name Xia here asked me to come. I'm her driver."

"You?" The security guard scrutinized Ye Xiao, who was dressed in filthy clothes, hardly presentable. He had indeed received a call just now from a Mrs. Xia, notifying them that her driver would arrive soon for clearance. But could this person looking like a beggar truly be Mr. Xia's driver?

Having lived there for half a month, Xia Mingyue had become a familiar face in the district, known as a rare beauty. And yet, how could such an exquisite beauty hire someone like him as a driver? Could the tastes of wealthy people nowadays be so… odd?

"Are you really Mr. Xia's driver?" the security guard still looked doubtful at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao immediately grinned and said, "Yes, yes, my driving skills are very good."

The guard shook his head in disbelief, wondering if beauties now preferred this type of man.

"Register here before you go in." Since Xia Mingyue had already notified them, and he was just a security guard, it would've been improper for him to keep holding Ye Xiao up, despite truly looking down on him at the moment.

Ye Xiao laughed heartily, quickly signed in the ledger, and then cheerfully walked into the so-called Tulip District.

The Tulip District was the most prestigious community in the Jinling District, and even throughout Bird City, it was considered quite luxurious. The community was fully equipped with facilities for leisure and entertainment for both the elderly and children.

Xia Mingyue had already given Ye Xiao her home address yesterday, so he hurried straight to the Tulip District's Building B.

Although Ye Xiao wanted to go up, he thought better of it, recalling the morning's incident with Li Sitong, where he was mistaken for a hooligan. If he were to rashly go up now, he might end up misunderstood by Xia Mingyue as well. Thus, he decided to wait downstairs.
