"Ye Xiao, it's better if you don't go at noon today. After all, that Fu Tianjue is a narrow-minded person, in case..." After Jiang Zhongzheng briefly told Ye Xiao about the An family incident, he reminded him.

Ye Xiao heard what Jiang Zhongzheng said and immediately chuckled, "Uncle Jiang, you know I'd definitely go for this kind of thing."

"Sigh, be careful in everything. But if Fu Tianjue dares to do anything to you, I and the Jiang Family will stand up for you." Jiang Zhongzheng said.

Ye Xiao said, "Thank you, Uncle Jiang. I really can't repay you."

"Stop saying those polite words. Last night, Coco didn't come back nor return to school. Her classmates said she left with a young man, was that you?" Jiang Zhongzheng asked.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiao quickly chuckled and said, "Uncle Jiang, we indeed had dinner together last night. However, later she went to find her cousin Xia Mingyue, and stayed at Xia Mingyue's house for the night."

At this moment, Jiang Miaoke's voice came from outside, "Ye Xiao, are you sick or what? You've been in the bathroom for ten minutes already."

Ye Xiao was taken aback when he heard Jiang Miaoke's voice. Obviously, he wasn't the only one who heard this, Jiang Zhongzheng must have heard it too.

However, Jiang Zhongzheng didn't say anything.

Ye Xiao quickly explained, "Uncle Jiang, I'm also at Xia Mingyue's house now. I just arrived, Coco asked me to bring her breakfast, that's all."

After all, he was dealing with Jiang Miaoke's dad, his elder.

If it were someone hostile or unfamiliar with Ye Xiao, he'd be completely unperturbed. But now, Jiang Zhongzheng was quite kind to him, and if he misunderstood Ye Xiao for playing with his daughter, that wouldn't be good, so Ye Xiao earnestly explained.

Jiang Zhongzheng suddenly burst into laughter and said, "You rascal, don't you know the saying 'three hundred taels are not hidden here'? Stop explaining, I understand what you mean."

"Oh, as long as you understand!" Ye Xiao laughed dryly twice.

"Alright, let's leave it at this. Still the same, try not to go. There's no benefit for you if you go. Even if Fu Tianjue doesn't do anything to you, others aren't impossible you know." Jiang Zhongzheng said.

Ye Xiao said, "Thank you for your concern, Uncle Jiang."

Then, the phone call ended.

Ye Xiao stood up from the toilet and immediately walked out. At this moment, Jiang Miaoke was standing at the door, glaring at Ye Xiao who was also standing at the door, "What were you doing inside?"

"Hehe, discussing the matter of a future bride price with my future father-in-law, haven't figured out the specifics yet, let's talk another day." Ye Xiao said casually.

"Father-in-law?" Jiang Miaoke immediately looked suspiciously at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao nodded immediately, "Yes, father-in-law."

"Which father-in-law?" Jiang Miaoke asked again.

"Ah, Coco, what a question. It really makes me feel a bit ashamed. Do you want me to have multiple fathers-in-law? Actually, it's not impossible, hehe, I'll definitely try hard." Ye Xiao said with a serious face, as if he made a difficult decision.

Jiang Miaoke angrily said, "You really are a rascal."

Then, Jiang Miaoke walked straight into the bathroom, obviously in a hurry.

Ye Xiao, proud of the way Jiang Miaoke addressed him, smiled and said, "Such an elegant title bestowed upon me, I feel deeply honored."

Ye Xiao chuckled, ready to go to the dining room to clean up the dishes, but upon arrival, Xia Mingyue had already tidied up. However, the table hadn't been wiped yet, and Xia Mingyue was washing dishes.

When it comes to impressing beautiful women, Ye Xiao never gets tired, so he immediately walked into the kitchen, rolled up his sleeves, and chuckled, "How can I let Mingyue do such menial work? I'll do it."

Xia Mingyue glanced at Ye Xiao and then her gaze dropped back to the dishes.

Sometimes, Xia Mingyue wanted to get angry at Ye Xiao, but couldn't. Ye Xiao really doesn't have a filter on his mouth, says anything, his eyes don't have a filter either, sees everything regardless if people want to hear or want to be seen. However, Ye Xiao is not a hypocrite. If he says he'll do something, he definitely will. Although he's a bit mischievous, he's also genuine, so while Xia Mingyue seemed a bit repulsed by Ye Xiao on the surface, inside she wasn't repelled at all.

"No need. You've been buying breakfast for the past few days, so let's not have you wash the dishes too." Xia Mingyue said while washing dishes.

"Wow, Mingyue truly is a goddess both in appearance and in spirit, thinking of me like this. My admiration for Mingyue is as boundless as the mighty river, as unstoppable as the overflowing Kun River." Ye Xiao said with full sincerity.

Xia Mingyue turned to look at Ye Xiao, who was standing behind her giving his speech, "If you want to stand in the kitchen, say less. You know, hearing you makes me feel very uncomfortable."

"You're probably not used to such praise. Mingyue, you don't know, all I said are heartfelt words. In fact, I haven't even said the most sincere words. Since you don't believe it, let me say it." Ye Xiao said, looking earnest as if everything he said was genuine.

"Stop!" Xia Mingyue immediately said, "I beg you, stop. If you want to talk to me, just say something serious."

"Alright, was everything at the company smooth yesterday?" Ye Xiao chuckled.

Xia Mingyue nodded, "Really, thank you. If it weren't for you, it would've been difficult for the company to find that bastard so quickly."

"It's nothing. I'm also a part of the company, capturing those with malicious intent, treacherous hearts, despicable deeds, sly and deceitful, law-breaking criminals, adulterers..."

"Stop!" Xia Mingyue gestured to stop him, saying, "There's no such thing as an adulterer."

"Alright, let's not talk about this. People with bad conduct like this might later be interested in those old ladies and women, so I'm just pointing out their misbehavior in advance," Ye Xiao said with a righteous look.

Xia Mingyue gave a wry smile and said, "I really didn't expect it to be Wang Dongliang and He Huawei. I've demoted Wang Dongliang to an ordinary member of the logistics department. Li Shengrong will remain as director. What do you think?"

Ye Xiao said, "You're the boss, of course it's your call."

"I was just asking casually." Xia Mingyue looked back at the dishes and continued rinsing them with water.

Ye Xiao said, "If you ask me, you're doing the right thing. Li Shengrong is not the same as before. I believe he will do better in future work. As for Wang Dongliang, find an opportunity to make him resign voluntarily."

Xia Mingyue nodded, then suddenly said, "Ye Xiao."

"What is it?"

Xia Mingyue said, "I hope you can promise me one thing."

Listening to Xia Mingyue, Ye Xiao immediately chuckled and said, "What is it?"

"It almost has nothing to do with me, but it has a lot to do with you," Xia Mingyue said.

Ye Xiao felt even more curious upon hearing this.

"Oh? Tell me," Ye Xiao said with a smile.

Xia Mingyue said, "Don't go to the Fu family."

After hearing Xia Mingyue's words, Ye Xiao immediately chuckled and said, "You also know there's danger if I go to the Fu family?"

"Coco said so," Xia Mingyue replied.

Ye Xiao immediately laughed and said, "Coco is too worried, it shouldn't be that bad."

"But what if it is, you might lose your life," Xia Mingyue said.

Ye Xiao said, "It shouldn't happen."

Xia Mingyue suddenly turned back to look at Ye Xiao seriously and said, "Still, don't go."

"Haha, why are you so concerned about me?" Ye Xiao looked at Xia Mingyue with a smile.

Xia Mingyue, not quite adapted to being watched by Ye Xiao like that, blushed slightly and again focused her gaze on the sink.

"No!" Xia Mingyue denied.

Ye Xiao said, "If not, that's fine. After all, no one truly cares about me, and I'm an orphan, unloved by parents. Even if I die, I wouldn't cause any ripples in this world."

"You..." Xia Mingyue felt inexplicably angry listening to Ye Xiao, but didn't know what to say.

Ye Xiao looked at Xia Mingyue's back, seeming a bit angry, then chuckled and said, "If you agree to be my wife, I won't go. After all, someone like me all alone, who would I live for?"

Yes, Ye Xiao was all alone, who would he live for?

Xia Mingyue didn't speak, didn't criticize Ye Xiao as usual, but just stood by the sink with her head lowered.

Ye Xiao clearly saw Xia Mingyue's actions, he knew she was concerned about him, so naturally, he didn't want to make things harder for her.

"Haha, just kidding, don't take it seriously. I'm going today because I have business, I can guarantee I won't die, and your driver will surely be at your service tomorrow," Ye Xiao laughed.

Xia Mingyue still didn't turn back but said, "A man should keep his word."

"Haha, of course, and if you're willing to be my wife, it'll be even more so," Ye Xiao laughed in a playful manner.

"Can't you be serious for once?" Xia Mingyue turned to look at Ye Xiao and said, glaring.

Ye Xiao said, "Alright, alright, I'll be serious. But, life's just a few decades, isn't it dull to always be serious? That would be unhappy, wouldn't you agree?"

Xia Mingyue was left speechless.

Suddenly, they both fell silent, but just then, Ye Xiao's phone rang again.

Ye Xiao wondered who was calling now, took out his phone, and smiled; it was another call from An Meihui!

Apparently, An Meihui had pondered for a while before calling back.

But now, knowing about the An family's affairs, Ye Xiao could face An Meihui more calmly.
