"I like you!" Fang Jing slowly lifted her head, looking at Ye Xiao with the most affectionate eyes, truly filled with love.

However, if Ye Xiao hadn't been so perceptive, he might have been truly deceived by Fang Jing. Even more, he might have been moved by Fang Jing's proactive confession, but the problem was, from Fang Jing's sincere gaze, Ye Xiao saw traces of helplessness.

That wasn't something that should be in Fang Jing's eyes, yet it was there.

Ye Xiao reached out and gently lifted Fang Jing's sharp chin; hers was truly a stunning face.

"If you don't want to tell your story, then I'll no longer listen. Perhaps you think my intelligence is so low that I can be easily fooled?" Ye Xiao gently smiled, his eyes meaningfully watching Fang Jing's beautiful eyes.

Fang Jing's eyes involuntarily shifted aside, feigning calmness as she said, "I... I don't know what you're talking about, I really fell for you!"

Ye Xiao looked at Fang Jing, smiled gently, and said, "Have you said enough? Because I've heard enough. If you want to bask in the moonlight here, I can indeed join you. If you want to act, I can certainly accompany you. I just said, I'm the type who takes advantage without guilt, and if you want me to stay in this car with you, heh..."

Ye Xiao didn't finish speaking, but he had made it clear to Fang Jing that if he were to lean over her again, it wouldn't be so easy for him to back off. As he said, he was a very healthy man.

"You..." Fang Jing looked at Ye Xiao incredulously, still a bit confused about what kind of person Ye Xiao was. She had only heard about his splendid deeds in Minghai City but knew nothing of his true character.

"Alright, today's play should end," Ye Xiao said, starting the Ferrari, turning it around, and heading directly toward Xia Mingyue's home.

Fang Jing really felt like giving up, but she also knew that she couldn't, because whenever she thought about giving up, she remembered a woman.

"Pull over!" Fang Jing suddenly spoke very composedly, lacking her previously feigned allure but carrying a bit more seriousness.

This time, Ye Xiao obediently pulled over immediately.

Once the car stopped, Fang Jing spoke again in a very calm tone.

"There once was a foolish woman!"

"Huh?" Ye Xiao was somewhat puzzled upon hearing Fang Jing's sudden statement, unsure of what Fang Jing was about to say.

"Be quiet, listen to me!" Fang Jing's eyes turned toward the bright moonlight, then she continued, "Maybe it was under such bright moonlight that this foolish woman fell for a man she shouldn't have, and for this man, she abandoned her parents. However, later she learned that due to differing family values, the man couldn't marry her. Nevertheless, the man promised her that if she bore a son, he would definitely marry her. But fate wouldn't have it."

"Did she have a daughter?" Ye Xiao couldn't help but ask.

Fang Jing nodded and said, "Yes, she had a daughter, and the girl was very beautiful, but the man cruelly said that no matter how beautiful the girl was, she couldn't compare to an ugly son. Three days after the girl was born, the man never came again. Yet, the woman still believed he couldn't come because of his family. Having abandoned her parents once, the woman had no choice but to raise the unloved yet beautiful girl alone in this city, and the girl took her mother's surname. Time passed until the daughter's eighteenth birthday, when that man appeared again, only at a birthday party attended by the three of them. He bitterly spilled his struggles, yet that foolish woman still believed him. In the following three years, the girl watched as that man would come to see her mother now and then. Though she didn't resist, she was very disgusted. Yet, this had not ended. That man, for his own benefit, planned to marry off his daughter to someone else in exchange for a lifetime of glory."

After Fang Jing finished speaking, though her words were brief, they told Ye Xiao a heartrending story.

Ye Xiao looked at Fang Jing for a long time without speaking, just watching her.

"What... what are you looking at?" Fang Jing, noticing Ye Xiao watching her, immediately looked down again and said.

Ye Xiao didn't speak but handed Fang Jing a tissue, saying, "Wipe your tears."

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Fang Jing realized that she had started crying.

"It seems this story has made me sad too," Fang Jing said somewhat jokingly.

Yet, Ye Xiao calmly said, "That girl is you, isn't it?"

Fang Jing, who was wiping her eyes, upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, suddenly paused, her movements slowing.

"Did you come to see me today because of that man?" Ye Xiao looked at Fang Jing's figure, feeling very sympathetic.

Fang Jing lifted her head, looked at Ye Xiao, forced a smile, and said, "Do you think I'm pitiful?"

"I consider you a friend. If you have any trouble, you can tell me, as long as it's within my ability," Ye Xiao said with a smile to Fang Jing.

Fang Jing sighed softly, looking at Ye Xiao, and said, "I'm sorry for earlier..."

"It doesn't matter, but I really want you to attract me again," Ye Xiao said with a shameless smile on his face.

"Would you?" Fang Jing asked.

Ye Xiao replied very firmly, "Definitely."

"Too bad, I won't!" Fang Jing wiped the tears from her face, revealing a hint of triumph.

Ye Xiao looked at Fang Jing's face and felt somewhat helpless. He had thought Fang Jing was a girl as happy as Xia Mingyue, but apparently not.

"So, you should tell me now, where do you live? I'll take you home quickly," Ye Xiao said.

"Stay with me for a while," Fang Jing said.

Ye Xiao nodded and replied, "Of course, if you'd like to borrow my shoulder, I can offer it!"

"Humph, do you think this is a TV drama? Do you think if I lean on you, I'll end up in your arms?" Fang Jing gave Ye Xiao a look and said, "We better get going, otherwise, I might really feel in danger."

Listening to Fang Jing's words, Ye Xiao felt helpless again. The easy catch had been thrown away by himself, which was quite unreasonable.

Then, Fang Jing told Ye Xiao that she lived in Huafeng District in Jinling District, which was a rather ordinary district. Perhaps because it was boring on the way, Fang Jing voluntarily explained her relationship with Xia Mingyue. It turned out that Fang Jing was Xia Mingyue's high school classmate, and being similar in interests, they had been very good friends for years. They even pledged not to get married, so at the age of 22, neither of them had boyfriends, not because they couldn't find any, but because they didn't want to.

"Aren't you coming up for a sit?" Fang Jing looked at Ye Xiao sitting in the car.

"Is your mom at home?" Ye Xiao asked.

"Yes!"

"Then forget it, it would be inconvenient with your mom at home!" Ye Xiao candidly said.

"You can leave now!" Fang Jing slammed the door and turned to leave.

Watching Fang Jing walk away, the playful smile on Ye Xiao's face also disappeared.

Fang Jing knew his identity, which had already puzzled Ye Xiao a lot, but the conversation they just had seemed to resolve Ye Xiao's doubts. Clearly, her father must have told her about his identity, but what exactly did her father mean? What did he want him to do?

Ye Xiao felt secretly helpless. Bird City's riddle was much deeper than Minghai City.

Then, Ye Xiao drove the Ferrari swiftly away.

A driver who could take the boss's Ferrari home was certainly not ordinary. Yet, when the car stopped downstairs at Niu Chuang's building, it immediately attracted a lot of attention. Clearly, such a luxury car, though many drove around on the roads, was a rarity to be seen up close.

"Brother Xiao, is this yours?" When Ye Xiao got out of the Ferrari, Niu Chuang appeared from one corner, came next to the Ferrari, and looked at Ye Xiao with shining eyes.

Ye Xiao immediately shook his head and said, "No, how could I have such a car? This is my boss's car. It's late, so my boss let me drive it home."

"Really?" Niu Chuang listened to Ye Xiao, obviously unable to believe it, since he thought bosses were all misers reincarnated—who could have such a generous boss?

Ye Xiao hadn't mentioned that it's a female boss; if he said Xia Mingyue was a beautiful lady, this guy might rush to apply for a driver's position at Blue Star Technology.

"Of course, it's true," Ye Xiao said.

Niu Chuang said, "Brother Xiao, have you eaten? I'm drinking with a new friend I met today. He said you came back; I couldn't believe it until I really saw you. He said he's your second uncle!"

"I am his grandfather!" Ye Xiao heard someone dared to impersonate his second uncle and immediately looked annoyed.

Niu Chuang, hearing Ye Xiao, immediately said, "Brother Xiao, she sounds really convincing. Why don't you go up and see, maybe it really is your second uncle?"

"Damn!" Hearing Niu Chuang, Ye Xiao felt an urge to pick him up and throw him out; he didn't even know who his own mother was, let alone having a second uncle, and why a second uncle of all people?

However, Niu Chuang said that this person knew Ye Xiao had just come back; Ye Xiao felt this person must be unusual, but to dare impersonate his elder, he felt if this guy didn't give him a perfect explanation, well, humph...
