Wang Luoxin is quite punctual; just at 11:30, Ye Xiao's phone rang, and it was Wang Luoxin's voice on the line.

"Hi, gorgeous!"

"Hi, ugly!"

"..."

"Haha!" Wang Luoxin chuckled triumphantly and then said to Ye Xiao, "What do you want to eat, I'll treat you."

Ye Xiao said, "Anything is fine. Being with you is happiness, even if it's a bowl of noodle soup without meat."

"Okay, then let's have noodle soup!" Wang Luoxin was quite straightforward.

Ye Xiao immediately said, "However, for your nutrition, let's add some meat."

"You're right, let's have stewed noodles then!" Wang Luoxin said, "They're pretty expensive in Bird City, a whole twelve bucks a bowl."

Listening to Wang Luoxin's words, Ye Xiao really wanted to give himself a good talking-to, as it was all his money, but after waiting all morning, all he got was a twelve-dollar bowl of stewed noodles.

"Can we add a couple more slices of meat?" Ye Xiao made a final effort.

"Of course," Wang Luoxin replied cheerfully.

"Where are you? I'll come to you!" Ye Xiao no longer had high expectations for this meal. Initially, he thought of having a nice meal, spending at least a few hundred bucks.

But as it turned out, Wang Luoxin probably wouldn't spend more than fifty bucks.

"Come downstairs, I'm at the entrance of Dongning Building," Wang Luoxin said.

Ye Xiao immediately exclaimed in surprise, "How did you know I'm here?"

"How many Blue Star Technology buildings are there in Jinling District?" Wang Luoxin retorted.

"Alright, I forgot Seven-colored Lamp used to be a scout," Ye Xiao said seriously.

"Stop babbling, hurry downstairs!" Wang Luoxin commanded.

Ye Xiao felt speechless; he found that having a meal alone with Wang Luoxin somehow wasn't as enjoyable as he imagined.

However, Ye Xiao still immediately walked out of the logistics department.

As he walked out, he happened to see Fang Jing coming out of the pantry.

"Where are you going?" Fang Jing asked, looking at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao forced himself to smile, "Got plans."

"Get lost!" Fang Jing immediately gave Ye Xiao a disdainful look.

Watching Fang Jing's graceful exit, Ye Xiao was in chaos alone, oh women, women.

Ye Xiao took the elevator downstairs and quickly saw Wang Luoxin.

At that moment, Wang Luoxin was still in a red down jacket, but now with a white scarf, and wearing light makeup. One couldn't tell if she dressed up deliberately; she gave off a refined vibe. Her demeanor now was way softer than on the phone, which made many people passing by glance back.

Evidently, Wang Luoxin had quite a high head-turning rate, with many people watching this exceptionally beautiful woman to see what she was up to. But when Ye Xiao appeared, Wang Luoxin finally moved, taking small steps to Ye Xiao's side and directly took Ye Xiao's arm.

Immediately, Ye Xiao was stunned, and so were quite a few people around. Ye Xiao was shocked because he didn't expect Wang Luoxin's attitude to be so different from that on the phone, while the surrounding people were shocked because this lovely young woman took the arm of someone rather ordinary-looking—how illogical!

"Feeling the hostile gazes yet?" Wang Luoxin said proudly to Ye Xiao, but her expression kept a smile.

Upon hearing Wang Luoxin's words, Ye Xiao finally understood; this lady took his hand not because she suddenly fell for him but to make others hostile towards him.

Seeing Wang Luoxin's proud face, Ye Xiao felt a bit annoyed. Wasn't she just playing with him? Fine, if she wants to play, he'll play along.

Ye Xiao chuckled, quickly withdrawing his hand, and before Wang Luoxin understood, Ye Xiao's arm blocked her, and his hand shamelessly rested on her waist.

"You guy really doesn't want to take a loss." Wang Luoxin was first stunned, then giggled flirtatiously.

Ye Xiao said, "I can't help it. Since there's delicious meat right in front of me, if I ignore it, that wouldn't be very manly of me. Alright, let's go."

So, Ye Xiao, his arm around Wang Luoxin, walked out of Dongning Building, attracting not a few envious, jealous, and resentful gazes.

Only, Ye Xiao didn't notice that in a certain room on the twelfth floor, a woman, a beautiful woman, was standing at the window watching Ye Xiao, her eyes a bit complicated.

Wang Luoxin didn't come on foot; she and Ye Xiao stopped by a white BMW X6 in the parking lot.

Looking at this seemingly brand new BMW X6, Ye Xiao immediately furrowed his brows.

"You didn't take my money to buy a BMW X6, did you?" Ye Xiao looked at Wang Luoxin.

Wang Luoxin immediately retorted, "So you actually have that much money in your account, enough to buy a BMW X6 worth a million or two million?"

"Huh?" Ye Xiao then realized that he might have accidentally shown off his wealth.

Wang Luoxin chuckled and said, "Get in the car, this is a rental. Didn't you say it yourself? That's your wife's fund, only your wife can spend it freely, how dare I."

Ye Xiao quickly got into the passenger seat and said, "Actually, my point is that if you're buying a car, there's no need to go for a BMW, you could also consider a Mercedes or something. But since it's already rented, forget it. Didn't I give you a hundred thousand? That should definitely be enough to rent a car."

"Stop, that hundred thousand wasn't from you, that was a fine." Wang Luoxin smiled smugly and then started the BMW X6.

The restaurant Wang Luoxin mentioned was called Yang's Noodle. This Yang's Noodle is a long-standing noodle house in Bird City. In the city's whole noodle industry, while it can't be said to be the leader, it's definitely quite good. Because of its booming business, there is a Yang's Noodle in each of the nine districts of Bird City. Since they were in the Jinling District, Wang Luoxin took Ye Xiao to Yang's Noodle in the Jinling District.

Although it was only around eleven forty, the parking outside Yang's Noodle was almost full. What surprised Ye Xiao was that the cars parked here were all high-end ones, like Audis and BMWs, showing that Yang's Noodle was indeed good.

Ye Xiao walked into Yang's Noodle with Wang Luoxin. It was Ye Xiao's first visit, but Wang Luoxin seemed very familiar with the place. He first bought a card worth a hundred bucks and then turned around to look at Ye Xiao, saying, "There are many types of noodles here, which one do you want?"

"Lamb!" Ye Xiao said.

At this time, the cashier smiled and said, "Our specialty at Yang's Noodle is lamb noodle, but the lamb noodle comes in only one size, which is twenty-two a bowl."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiao was slightly stunned and was immediately a bit surprised. Wow, that's expensive. He remembered that back in Minghai City, a bowl of noodles seemed to be eight or nine bucks.

"Alright, then two bowls of lamb noodles." Wang Luoxin wasn't distressed about the money at all. After all, the money was Ye Xiao's anyway, so why not spend it?

He then ordered a few side dishes, all of which were chosen by Ye Xiao, mainly meats.

Men, most of them are carnivores, and Ye Xiao was no exception.

"Can you finish all this?" Wang Luoxin, having just recharged another hundred bucks, came over and looked at the four or five plates on the table, saying immediately.

Ye Xiao smiled and said, "Of course, unless something comes up, I'll make sure to finish everything."

"Just eat if you want to eat, no need for so many excuses. It's lunchtime, what could possibly come up?" Wang Luoxin rolled his eyes at Ye Xiao.

But just as Wang Luoxin finished his sentence, Ye Xiao's phone rang.

When Ye Xiao and Wang Luoxin heard the ringtone, they exchanged a smile, both obviously giving a wry smile. Such a coincidence really exists in this world, huh?

Ye Xiao took out his phone, thinking it might be Jiang Miaoke calling him.

But when he answered it and heard the voice on the other end, his brow immediately furrowed.

"Ye Xiao, long time no see." A man's voice came through, filled with mockery.

Ye Xiao said, "How do you have my number?"

"Of course I didn't. Didn't you realize this is your brother's phone number?" The man laughed heartily.

"Sorry, my phone doesn't have caller ID," Ye Xiao said.

The man said, "Alright then, listen carefully. Your four brothers are with me now. I'd like to invite them for a meal. If you have the time, it would be best if you came too."

Four brothers!

Ye Xiao immediately thought of Zhou Hao, Zhan Bo, Weii Yang, and Sun Yuze.

These four said they were going to the mall to buy things for their parents, but how did they end up running into this guy?

"Location!" Ye Xiao said in a deep voice.

The man then told Ye Xiao the location and arrogantly said, "You can bring a few more people along. I don't like it when too few come, haha."

"Don't harm them, or I'll skin you alive!" Ye Xiao's voice was very calm!

But his words immediately angered the man on the other end, who said, "You'd better come quickly, or I'll skin them alive."

The call was disconnected!

Wang Luoxin immediately looked at Ye Xiao with a serious expression. Ye Xiao's words just now were enough to make Wang Luoxin stop joking, and Ye Xiao's face was very solemn, clearly indicating that something major had happened.

"Ye Xiao, what's wrong?" Wang Luoxin asked.

"Zhou Hao and the other three were taken away," Ye Xiao said.

"What?" Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Wang Luoxin couldn't believe it. Looking at Ye Xiao, he said, "How is that possible? Zhan Bo, Weii Yang, and Sun Yuze indeed don't have much strength, but Zhou Hao's strength is already at Xuan Rank. How could he possibly be captured? Who's the other party?"

"The Fu family from Bird City!" Ye Xiao said coldly.
