Zheng Lingshan heard Ye Xiao's playful words and couldn't help but smile slightly, saying, "Of course it's the clothes that look good. If you were sold, would you be worth 1999 yuan?"

Ye Xiao was taken aback by Zheng Lingshan's words, but he also chuckled inwardly. This girl had a point. If he were sold now, he probably wouldn't be worth 1999 yuan. Of course, if he were labeled with the name 'Blood Shura,' that might raise the price a bit.

However, on the surface, Ye Xiao looked a bit unhappy and said, "Saying that is just so uninspiring. Can't you see? I have inner beauty, and plus, I'm a good person. There's no way I wouldn't be worth 1999 yuan. You really should be paying, hmph!"

Ye Xiao began to add spices with his head down. Soon after, the aromatic scent of grilled meat began to fill the air, smelling absolutely delicious.

Seeing Ye Xiao looking somewhat angry, Zheng Lingshan chuckled softly and said, "Are you mad now? I thought you had the stomach of a prime minister to endure hardships, but who knew, you're so petty."

Ye Xiao said, "I'm not mad, I'm just distracted by the smell of the meat."

Since Ye Xiao shifted the topic to the meat, Zheng Lingshan naturally didn't bring up the previous topic anymore. After all, she and Ye Xiao hadn't had much interaction, so she really didn't know whether Ye Xiao was actually mad.

Speaking of grilled meat, Ye Xiao really had a knack for it. With ample heat, he quickly grilled up some flavorful lamb and beef. Even Zheng Lingshan, who had been somewhat reserved before, was now enticed by the smell.

"Mmm, delicious!" Zheng Lingshan took a bite of the juicy grilled lamb and immediately praised it.

Ye Xiao immediately said proudly, "Now, am I worth more than a 1999 yuan wool coat?"

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Zheng Lingshan laughed and said, "Yes, yes, you're valuable, way too valuable, even more than this grilled lamb."

"Are you complimenting me?" Ye Xiao smiled, then continued to grill, all the while devouring the grilled meat rapidly. Perhaps impressed by his own grilling skills, their conversation then centered almost entirely on the grilled meat until Ye Xiao's phone rang.

Because Ye Xiao's clothes were hanging on a nearby rack, he immediately stood up, walked over to the rack and took out his old Nokia phone, pressing the answer button.

"Hello, who is this?" While answering the phone, he kept his eyes on the grilled meat on the grill, clearly very concerned about it. After all, if it got burnt, that would ruin his reputation.

"Guess who this is, Ye Xiao. What exactly did you do to Ruoxi?" The call was from Jiang Miaoke, who started grilling Ye Xiao as soon as he answered.

"Huh?" Ye Xiao, upon hearing Jiang Miaoke's question, immediately looked puzzled, secretly thinking that he hadn't done anything to Han Ruoxi. He had always been nice to her. Moreover, that morning when Han Ruoxi asked him to vouch for her, Ye Xiao had tried his best, although in the end, Zhang Duo and Li Fen misunderstood, but this shouldn't have anything to do with him.

Actually, Ye Xiao didn't know that Zhang Duo and Li Fen were the type of girls who loved to gossip. Even though Ye Xiao thought he made clear that he had nothing to do with Han Ruoxi, Zhang Duo and Li Fen didn't think so. They believed that Ye Xiao spoke only under the silent threat from Han Ruoxi and considered him a man who was scared of his girlfriend.

Thus, a rumor started at State Hospital that Han Ruoxi had a boyfriend.

Han Ruoxi is a coldly beautiful doctor, also known as the shining new star of State Hospital, who had always claimed she had no boyfriend, which made many male doctors who tried to woo her refer to her as a 'goddess.'

Smart, beautiful, and a rare genius in the medical field, all these qualities combined in one person made her nothing short of a goddess.

However, this 'goddess' of State Hospital, Han Ruoxi, was reported to have a boyfriend that morning.

Having a boyfriend was not an issue in itself, as no one decreed that a woman cannot have a boyfriend. However, things didn't stop there. In just one morning, Han Ruoxi had to face more than half of the young and talented male doctors in the hospital, as well as some of her former patients, all wanting confirmation on whether she really had a boyfriend.

Han Ruoxi was truly annoyed and came to loathe Ye Xiao deeply.

Because all of this trouble for Han Ruoxi had been caused by Ye Xiao, even though it was all sparked by just a word or two from him.

Eventually, the extremely frustrated Han Ruoxi, having no other choice, called Jiang Miaoke.

Of course, Ye Xiao was unaware of everything happening at State Hospital, so he innocently told Jiang Miaoke, "I didn't do anything to her! She's a woman who helped me, and a doctor at that. How could I possibly treat her badly? Don't worry, I didn't even touch her. Actually, today someone said I'm involved with her, and I even vouched for her."

"Are you joking? Do you know that everyone at State Hospital thinks you're Ruoxi's boyfriend?" Jiang Miaoke angrily said.

Hearing Jiang Miaoke's words, Ye Xiao was somewhat surprised, but then he immediately smiled proudly and said, "Is that true? I didn't expect those people to have such good insight. But this doesn't really have anything to do with me, does it? I'm eating right now. Let's talk about this after I finish eating."

"And you still have the mood to eat?" Jiang Miaoke angrily said to Ye Xiao, "I'm telling you, you better get to 'Liangju Bay Racetrack' within half an hour, or else consider that you never knew me."

Ye Xiao heard Jiang Miaoke's very firm tone and immediately became puzzled. Why so serious? Although he also wanted to get rid of this so-called fake girlfriend, if it was to be done in this way, it wasn't really nice.

But by this time, Jiang Miaoke had already hung up the phone.

Ye Xiao looked at the disconnected call, even more puzzled, and moreover, he didn't know where Liangju Bay Race Track was. Of course, the most important thing was why go to the race track at all?

Zheng Lingshan, seeing Ye Xiao's changing expressions, immediately stood up, looked at him puzzledly, and said, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

"My fake girlfriend said that there's a female doctor who was misunderstood as my girlfriend, and now, I have to go to Liangju Bay Race Track, as if it has anything to do with me. It's not my fault they misunderstood her," Ye Xiao said feeling quite wronged.

"Wait a minute? I'm a bit confused. How come there's a fake girlfriend?" Zheng Lingshan listened to Ye Xiao's words, feeling very strange.

Either it's a girlfriend or it's not, what's this about a fake girlfriend?

"Never mind, it's not something that can be explained in a few words. I need to ask where Liangju Bay is again." Ye Xiao then called Jiang Miaoke again.

"Why are you calling again?" Jiang Miaoke said, clearly unhappy.

Ye Xiao had already put aside his playful smile and told Jiang Miaoke, "I mean, is it really that serious?"

"Nonsense, of course it's serious, Ye Xiao, Han Ruoxi is my good friend, and she even helped you. If anything happens to her, you'll see what I'll do to you," Jiang Miaoke said angrily.

Ye Xiao said, "Okay, but, where is Liangju Bay?"

"You dummy, Fengqi District!" Jiang Miaoke said, "I can't talk to you anymore, I need to hurry over. Ruoxi always goes to the race track when she's angry, and moreover, the angrier she is, the faster she drives."

The call was disconnected once again.

Listening to Jiang Miaoke this time, Ye Xiao finally understood why they were going to the race track. Everyone has their own way of venting anger, and Han Ruoxi's way, it turns out, is driving, and moreover, going to the race track.

Ye Xiao put away his phone, but just at that moment, he suddenly smelled something burning.

"Where is that burning smell coming from?" Ye Xiao said, a bit puzzled.

At this time, Zheng Lingshan was also next to Ye Xiao, heard his words, and also smelled something burnt. She immediately went to check, and it turned out that the barbecue Ye Xiao was just cooking had turned black.

It was burnt!

Ye Xiao looked at the burnt barbecue, then looked at Zheng Lingshan and said with a wry smile, "Ah, there goes my century-old reputation."

"Do you even have a century?" Zheng Lingshan gave Ye Xiao a look, then asked, "Aren't you going?"

"Yes, I need to go to Fengqi District to explain," Ye Xiao said helplessly to Zheng Lingshan, "I find women sometimes really love to get angry and care too much about face."

"Hmph, you men care about face even more. But, I really didn't expect your charm, having two women wrapped around you at the same time," Zheng Lingshan said laughing, though her voice sounded a bit odd.

Ye Xiao immediately said, "I'm dizzy, it's a misunderstanding. Like you, I see them just as friends. I'm just that kind of person who likes to help friends. I didn't provide you a good lunch today, I'll definitely bring meat and wine to apologize at your home another day."

Listening to Ye Xiao's words, Zheng Lingshan felt sour hearing that she was just a friend like those two women. Even she didn't understand why.

Zheng Lingshan was somewhat surprised and said to herself, "Why does it feel this way? What's wrong with me? Aren't I also just seeing Ye Xiao as an ordinary friend? Why does it suddenly feel a bit off? Or am I thinking too much?"

"What's wrong?" Ye Xiao, seeing Zheng Lingshan standing there in a daze, immediately looked at her puzzledly.

Zheng Lingshan immediately grinned, saying, "It's nothing, I was just thinking that you definitely need to explain well when you go. Yeah, you go ahead, I'll leave later, I'm still not full."

"Hehe, I just like your personality, alright, I'll go first." Ye Xiao chuckled, then immediately put on his cashmere coat and left the VIP room.
