Ye Xiao also saw An Meihui's eyes open, and their eyes met.

And below those four eyes was An Meihui's proudest pride.

"Ah?" An Meihui screamed, then slapped Ye Xiao in the face and cursed, "Pervert."

Ye Xiao covered his cheek, still somewhat unresponsive.

At this moment, An Meihui also realized that she wasn't wearing any clothes, meaning she was completely naked, and she was lying on the bed with Ye Xiao, a big man, in the room. Although Ye Xiao's hand wasn't on her pride, it was holding the blanket, which was quite suspicious.

An Meihui pulled the blanket tightly around herself, glaring at Ye Xiao as if he had done something to her.

Cheng Yun, who was in the living room, ran in the quickest and, upon seeing the expressions of the two in the room, knew what had happened.

"Ye Xiao, what did you do?" Cheng Yun saw An Meihui looking shocked and immediately looked at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao said helplessly, "I saw her head was covered in sweat, so I pulled the blanket down a bit. Who would have thought..."

Cheng Yun couldn't help but laugh, then said to Ye Xiao, "You should go out first."

Ye Xiao rubbed his face, looked at An Meihui who was also looking at him, then walked out of the room.

After Ye Xiao left the room, Wang Luoxin, Purple Flame [], and Fang Jing, who hadn't yet applied medicine, also came out. Seeing Ye Xiao, they were suddenly curious.

"What happened to you?" Fang Jing asked, puzzled, looking at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao said, "Same as you."

"Same as me?" Fang Jing, hearing Ye Xiao's words, became even more confused.

Wang Luoxin almost understood at this point and, smiling, said to Purple Flame [], "Purple Flame, you go help Fang Jing apply the medicine, I'll go check things out."

Purple Flame [] immediately nodded in agreement, then went with Fang Jing to Wang Luoxin's room again, while Ye Xiao went to the sofa, feeling a bit helpless.

Although he indeed had some impure thoughts just now, the problem was that he didn't take any action, and yet he still got slapped? It was a bit unjust.

Holding the remote, he kept changing channels, feeling somewhat upset.

At that moment, his phone suddenly rang.

Ye Xiao picked up the phone and answered it without even looking at it.

"Who is it!" Ye Xiao said in a rather unfriendly tone.

The person on the phone paused for a moment, then said, "What did I do to provoke you? You're so angry when you answered my call?"

Ye Xiao then realized that the person calling him was Li Siqi.

"It's not that, something happened here. I didn't see it was your call." Ye Xiao's tone immediately softened.

Li Siqi, however, was not letting it go, saying, "Hmph, what does that have to do with me? You can't yell at me like that."

Hearing this, Ye Xiao also became a bit angry.

"I shouted, I yelled, I just got slapped by someone. What? You want to lecture me too? Do you have something or not, if not, I'm hanging up." Ye Xiao didn't give Li Siqi any face at all, mainly because he was feeling quite frustrated.

Li Siqi was somewhat stunned by Ye Xiao's shouting. Even though Ye Xiao would argue when talking to her, he had never spoken to her like this before.

"You...are you okay?" Li Siqi tentatively asked. Not knowing what had happened, she didn't dare to say anything harsh.

Hearing Li Siqi's gentle tone, Ye Xiao sighed casually and said, "It's nothing, let's just leave it at that."

"Hehe, what's the matter? Something so private that you can't say?" Li Siqi said, "Could it be you forced yourself on some woman and got hit by her?"

That casual remark from Li Siqi pierced right into Ye Xiao's heart, and he immediately laughed bitterly, saying, "You guessed half right, I did get hit by a woman, but I didn't force myself on anybody, am I that kind of person? I'm a very polite person."

Li Siqi said, "Polite? Do you call that politeness, saying 'I' like that to me?"

It was then that Ye Xiao realized perhaps he had spoken improperly, and he quickly chuckled, saying, "Don't be mad, don't be mad, I didn't do it on purpose. Okay, I apologize to you, isn't that enough?"

"Forget it, I won't hold it against you, but I'm really curious. How did someone manage to hit you? With your skills, who could hit you?" Li Siqi asked curiously.

Ye Xiao didn't want to go into details because the situation from earlier could easily be misunderstood, so he said, "It's complicated, but I didn't want to force myself on anyone."

"Alright, alright, no need to explain to me," Li Siqi laughed.

After chatting a bit with Li Siqi, his earlier unpleasant mood dissipated a lot, and he smiled and said to Li Siqi, "By the way, you must have had a reason to call me, right?"

"What? Can't I call you if there's no reason? Are you a high-ranking official or something, needing to request permission to make a call multiple times?" Li Siqi's words cut like knives.

Ye Xiao said, "Alright, your words are sharp. Of course, I'd love it if you called me all day, every day. Actually, I was about to call you too just now."

"Hehe, why call me?" Li Siqi said.

Ye Xiao said, "It's nothing, just afraid you wanted to hear my voice, so I thought to call you."

"Oh please, you really think you're all that," Li Siqi said.

Ye Xiao found it quite odd; Li Siqi usually didn't talk to him like this. Why did her attitude change so quickly today?

"Haha, a lot of people like this dish of mine." Ye Xiao said proudly.

Li Siqi replied, "The old saying, you praise your own goods. Oh, by the way, there's something else."

"Didn't you say there was nothing?" Ye Xiao asked immediately.

Li Siqi also said, "Just remembered suddenly, is that not okay?"

"Of course it's okay. Regarding how many times I shower each day, my daily habits, etc., you can ask anything, I'll leave nothing unsaid." Ye Xiao chuckled.

"Why would I ask that? Let your future wife ask." Li Siqi said.

Ye Xiao replied, "Yeah, that's right, it's for my future wife to ask."

It was then that Li Siqi understood Ye Xiao was intentionally saying it like that.

"You're so bad, I heard from Tongtong that you saved her once?" Li Siqi suddenly shifted the topic.

Ye Xiao smiled and said, "So she hasn't forgotten, how gratifying."

"Our Li family is not ungrateful, I didn't expect you to be stronger than I imagined." Li Siqi said with a soft laugh.

Upon hearing Li Siqi's words, Ye Xiao immediately asked, "May I ask, Eldest Miss Li, what image did you have of me before?"

"Well, it's better not to say, to avoid hurting your self-esteem." Li Siqi laughed.

Ye Xiao said, "Go ahead, I don't mind."

"Despicable, shameless, vulgar, filthy..."

"Wait a moment!"

Just when Li Siqi was about to go on a long speech about Ye Xiao's glowing image in her heart, Ye Xiao immediately interrupted her.

Li Siqi said, "What's the matter? Didn't you want to hear it? There are many more, probably a hundred more words."

"Big sis, spare me, am I that horrible?" Ye Xiao looked bitter.

"Haha, you used to be!" Li Siqi laughed.

Ye Xiao quickly asked, "What about now?"

"Well, haha, oh right, there's one more thing, Fu Donglai is not a good person, willing to abandon everything for profit, you should be careful." Li Siqi said.

"Looks like my image is quite glowing in your eyes now." Ye Xiao suddenly said.

Li Siqi immediately asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

"Otherwise, why would you care so much about me?" Ye Xiao laughed.

"Who... who cares about you." Li Siqi snorted.

Just at that moment, the door to Ye Xiao's room opened, and Wang Luoxin came out, seeing Ye Xiao talking to someone, she immediately said with a smile, "Ye Xiao, chatting with a beauty again? Please also care about the feelings of us sisters, alright?"

Ye Xiao was startled by this sudden remark, turned his head to look at Wang Luoxin, only to see her make a funny face at him.

Clearly, Wang Luoxin did it on purpose.

And on the phone, Li Siqi also heard this clearly and quickly said, "Ye Xiao, you're hiding beauties in a golden house? Seems like there's more than one hidden there."

Ye Xiao quickly replied, "It's not what you think, and besides, this isn't a golden house."

"Haha, don't explain, what is there to explain? It's not like it has anything to do with me, but when I have time, I'll definitely come to inspect your harem beauties." Li Siqi said.

Upon hearing Li Siqi's words, Ye Xiao had the urge to spit blood, "Harem beauties."

The Emperor's harem beauties could be affectionate with anyone they wanted, but now? These so-called beauties Li Siqi mentioned, could Ye Xiao dare touch any of them?

However, Ye Xiao was not to be outdone and said proudly, "Definitely, who am I, my consort, when are you coming so I can welcome you in advance."

Li Siqi was initially stunned by Ye Xiao's words, then quickly said, "Go away, still calling yourself the emperor, I'm done chit-chatting, my dad says you are invited over for dinner sometime."

"The Duke's generous invitation, I shall certainly attend," Ye Xiao said with a chuckle.

"Drop dead!" Li Siqi then hung up the phone.

Ye Xiao smiled smugly.

At this moment, Wang Luoxin walked over, looked at Ye Xiao, and said, "My emperor, Concubine An invites you in, care for the maid to assist you over?"

Ye Xiao said with a stern face, "I shall head over now."

"Oh, emperor, get rolling." Wang Luoxin burst into laughter, chastising him.
