But Fang Jing was so clever; the moment Ye Xiao mentioned it, she knew there was no kind word coming from Ye Xiao's mouth and said to Xia Mingyue, "Ming Yue, you know I have a soft heart, and Ye Xiao is really pitiable right now as he is being hunted. Even though he was staring at me when he entered, I've decided to forgive him."

When Xia Mingyue heard Fang Jing's words, she realized that Ye Xiao had been staring at Fang Jing and immediately glared at Ye Xiao, saying, "You rascal, must you be so shameless? Look how magnanimous Jinger is. Apologize to her, and we can let this go."

"Ah?" Ye Xiao, hearing Xia Mingyue's words, unwillingly frowned. Why should he apologize? He had only glanced at Fang Jing's legs a few times, and now he needed to apologize? What about that time in the room under the moonlight when she kissed him for so long, shouldn't Fang Jing apologize too?

Seeing that Ye Xiao hadn't apologized after she spoke, Xia Mingyue glared at him and said, "Ye Xiao, are you going to apologize or not? Man up! If you think you haven't seen enough, you can look more next time, but you still need to apologize."

"Ming Yue, what are you even saying?" Fang Jing quickly expressed her dissatisfaction upon hearing Xia Mingyue's words.

Xia Mingyue chuckled softly, then said to Fang Jing, "I was just saying."

Ye Xiao's eyes lingered on Fang Jing a bit longer, thinking that since he had to apologize anyway, he might as well take a good look now, and at least get something in return.

"Miss Fang, I was wrong to look at your legs, next time I will definitely sneak a peek, oh no, I definitely won't look, even if they're right in front of me, even if your legs were up against my eyes, I won't look," Ye Xiao said earnestly to Fang Jing.

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Xia Mingyue immediately laughed and said, "Ye Xiao, can you apologize properly? How could Jinger ever put her legs up to your eyes? Why don't you just say you'd want her lips on your face, you're only thinking about good things!" Xia Mingyue told him.

But Xia Mingyue didn't see how Fang Jing's cheeks blushed when she said that.

Xia Mingyue might not have seen it, but Ye Xiao noticed clearly and looked at Fang Jing smugly, knowing that she noticed his mocking. She immediately stood up, pointing at Ye Xiao, and exclaimed, "Animal!"

Then, Fang Jing walked off to the restroom!

Ye Xiao watched Xia Mingyue enter the restroom, truly wanting to contend the issue, believing himself to often be quite the gentleman. First and foremost, he would never force himself on someone, and just for that point alone, he felt he was much better than Fang Jing.

Xia Mingyue glanced at Fang Jing entering the restroom and then at Ye Xiao, suspiciously asking, "Did you really just look at her legs?"

Ye Xiao, hearing Xia Mingyue ask this, said, "What do you think?"

"Why do I feel like it's not that simple? Why else would she call you such a cultured name like 'animal'?" Xia Mingyue asked with a puzzled face!

Ye Xiao: "..."

Ten minutes later, Ye Xiao took the car keys and went downstairs.

Ye Xiao had been wondering why Xia Nanhai felt so secure letting Xia Mingyue stay in Tulip District. It turned out that they had reached an agreement; Xia Mingyue was no longer a target for the Zhao family.

Sitting in the car, Ye Xiao looked at the rising red sun and sighed to himself, thinking about the ever more complex forces he had to face.

Back on the Lijiazhou Continent, working as an Assassin in such harsh conditions, he had never felt stressed. But now, he truly felt stressed.

While he was upstairs, he had said something true: the enemy was in the dark, and he was in the light.

This situation was the most uncomfortable one because, in such a scenario, one never knows who the enemy is, so one must always be cautious. Otherwise, no matter how strong one is, one can't escape the hidden arrows.

Soon, two beautifully dressed professional women walked out of Tulip District Building B and came directly to the red Ferrari.

"Mr. Xia, I'd like to go out for a bit this morning, may I?" Ye Xiao asked Xia Mingyue.

"This morning?" Xia Mingyue said, "I'm afraid it's not possible. We're relocating to a new site this morning, and there will be some ceremonies. Don't you want to attend?"

Fang Jing immediately made a mocking comment, "Ye Xiao is probably afraid someone might take a shot at him at the ceremony."

"Really? Ye Xiao is that cowardly?" Xia Mingyue asked, puzzled.

Just when Ye Xiao had no good reason to offer, he heard Fang Jing's comment and laughed, saying to Xia Mingyue, "Mr. Xia, that's exactly what I'm thinking. Better safe than sorry!"

Xia Mingyue thought for a moment, knowing it was a special period, and said, "Alright, but don't stray far. You're my driver, and I might need you any time."

"Of course, Mr. Xia!" Ye Xiao then started the Ferrari and left Tulip District!
