Fang Jing's expression at the moment clearly showed she was amused; it was obvious she thought Ye Xiao was really cornered this time.

In the past, with Ye Xiao's sharp tongue, she couldn't win any argument against him.

But today, watching as there's a chance to punish Ye Xiao, how could she not be happy?

"Ming Yue, it seems you feel like you're destined to win today." Ye Xiao suddenly flashed a small smile, looking at Xia Mingyue, and said, "However, haven't you considered the possibility? There's a chance Liu Muyun really likes handsome guys like me."

"Can you stop insulting the word 'handsome guy'? You know, every word has its historical significance when it appears." Xia Mingyue looked at Ye Xiao with disdain.

Fang Jing also smiled and looked at Ye Xiao, saying, "Ye Xiao, my breakfast today was truly delicious and tasty, but who would have thought there'd be this kind of bonus after breakfast."

Clearly, Fang Jing meant that after meal, there's still an opportunity to mess with Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao chuckled softly, and said, "I already said, don't assume you've won for sure. Until the final moment, no one can be sure they've truly won. Jinger, you really are smart."

Hearing this, Fang Jing found it strange. What does this have to do with being smart?

"How am I smart? There's a hidden meaning in your words." Fang Jing looked at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao said, "I just meant you're smart. You dragged Ming Yue into the bet, and it has nothing to do with you. Even if Ming Yue loses, you won't suffer any loss."

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Fang Jing immediately explained, "You're sowing discord. I absolutely don't believe you know Liu Muyun, let alone have a video call with her. Do you really think you're some kind of legend?"

"Haha, I don't consider myself a legend, but believing I'm Liu Muyun's man is already sufficient." Ye Xiao boasted with a smile, "Since you don't believe it either, why not follow Ming Yue's example? If today, I can get two wives, hehe, I'd gladly become your little brother."

"Greedy as a snake swallowing an elephant!" Fang Jing glared at Ye Xiao, saying, "Let me tell you, there's no way, because I can tell from your type that you can't possibly know the diva Liu Muyun."

"What if I not only know her, but she's also willing to be one of my wives along with you? Haha, there's nothing impossible in this world." Ye Xiao said confidently.

Fang Jing didn't respond immediately, clearly lost in thought.

Xia Mingyue, who had just been pushed into it by Fang Jing, saw Fang Jing hesitating and quickly said, "I agree for Fang Jing. If you can really talk to Liu Muyun, even get her to agree to be your wife, and all while not minding you already have a wife, we'll be willing to join her as your women. That should show our sincerity, right?"

When someone is convinced something won't happen, they believe betting everything won't pose any risk, because they don't think they will lose.

Ye Xiao smiled slightly, looked at Fang Jing, and said, "What's your stance? Are you agreeing with Ming Yue?"

At this point, Fang Jing was in a tough spot and finally nodded, "I agree, but if you lose, you have to listen to us both for the rest of your life."

"No problem at all!" Ye Xiao laughed heartily, "Even if I win, I'll be the first to help you with anything."

Will Ye Xiao win?

Clearly, Xia Mingyue and Fang Jing didn't believe it.

At this moment, even though breakfast wasn't completely finished, the three of them weren't paying attention to it anymore.

"Go ahead!" Fang Jing said to Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao immediately pulled out his phone, and said, "Alright, watch closely, don't accuse me of tricking you later."

Ye Xiao's remark immediately reminded Xia Mingyue, who quickly said, "Wait a moment, don't use your phone, use mine. Firstly, the pixel quality is better than yours."

"That's not the main reason, is it? You're worried the number is unknown to her, that's the real issue here; you're afraid I'll cheat." Ye Xiao chuckled softly, playfully revealing Xia Mingyue's thoughts.

Xia Mingyue's face turned slightly red before she promptly said, "Hmph, you're right, but isn't it necessary?"

"It is necessary." Ye Xiao said, "How about I give you her number, then you send her a message first? That way, she'll immediately call you."

"Why should I send her a message?" Xia Mingyue wondered, "Is there some code?"

"As a boss, many people surely know your number, right? But do you use the whitelist function?" Ye Xiao said.

Upon hearing this, Xia Mingyue thought it made sense. Many people knew her number; if everyone called her, she'd probably only be answering calls all day without getting any work done. As for someone like Liu Muyun, a diva, she surely wouldn't have time for all important calls, let alone unknown ones, so she definitely wouldn't answer.

"True, but what should I send?" Xia Mingyue asked.

Ye Xiao said, "Just these four words: I am Ye Xiao."

"Ah?" Xia Mingyue said, "Are you joking, what's the point of these four words?"

"It'll definitely work." Ye Xiao replied, "As long as she knows it's my number, she will definitely call right away."

At this moment, Fang Jing looked at Ye Xiao and said, "Ye Xiao, don't take it too far. If you sincerely apologize to us and admit you deceived us, we can still forgive you."

Ye Xiao glanced at Fang Jing and said, "First of all, I am an honest person."

Fang Jing immediately looked at Xia Mingyue and said, "Send the message then. I want to see if anyone will call back. Humph, Ye Xiao really won't turn back until he hits a wall."

Xia Mingyue thought so too, so she skillfully sent a message to the number Ye Xiao had mentioned.

"Sent." Xia Mingyue looked at Ye Xiao and said, "What if she doesn't call back?"

"She'll definitely call back!" Ye Xiao said confidently.

Fang Jing chuckled and said, "You're really confident, but overconfidence is arrogance, Ye Xiao. Did you dream of Liu Muyun one night and then decide you'd spend your life with Liu Muyun?"

Ye Xiao said nothing and instead leaned back on the sofa, his eyes on the TV screen, occasionally switching to Liu Muyun's photos.

At the moment, Ye Xiao's mind was not occupied with Xia Mingyue and Fang Jing. He completely paid no mind to their ridicule.

Ye Xiao's mind was entirely on Liu Muyun.

It's been two months since he last contacted Liu Muyun. He once promised Liu Muyun that he would keep in touch regularly, but Ye Xiao didn't fulfill that promise. Ye Xiao felt somewhat guilty towards Liu Muyun.

Half an hour flew by.

The phone didn't ring, and no one called.

However, the dining table had been cleaned.

Xia Mingyue waved the phone in front of Ye Xiao and said, "Still no ring."

"Hehe, whether it rings or not isn't important; what's important is she will definitely call back." Ye Xiao remained confident.

Fang Jing mockingly said, "Ye Xiao, I'll give you another chance. If you apologize and admit your mistake, we'll only consider you as our little brother for life."

"People are so greedy. I'd prefer you to become my wives and be with me forever." Ye Xiao said with a grin.

Upon hearing this, Fang Jing immediately snorted and said, "Looks like I'm still too soft-hearted. But let's see if you'll be this relaxed for long."

Xia Mingyue checked the time and said, "It's almost nine o'clock. We need to hurry to work. Ye Xiao, from now on, privately, you're our little brother. No matter how tough the task, once we command, you shouldn't complain."

Xia Mingyue also felt the matter was settled.

Ye Xiao simply smiled softly, without saying a word.

Everyone has their habits, like some people will wake up early, and some won't eat eggs for breakfast, while others have a set time for breakfast—it could be seven, eight, or nine o'clock.

Seeing Ye Xiao simply smile, Xia Mingyue said, "Ye Xiao, what's up with you? I already mentioned work, yet you're still sitting here. Do you know what time it is now?"

Ye Xiao pointed at the TV display and said, "It's eight fifty-nine."

"You know that and still not moving?" Xia Mingyue said, "Though you're the vice president, you should set an example."

Ye Xiao said, "If I didn't miscalculate, in 120 seconds, your phone will definitely receive a call."

"Are you crazy?" Xia Mingyue glared at Ye Xiao and said, "Do you really want us to think you're just a liar? I seriously suspect your profession is in acting; not pursuing a career in entertainment would be a waste."

"Exactly!" Fang Jing agreed and then turned to Xia Mingyue, saying, "Ming Yue, why don't we wait a bit longer? Haha, I don't believe there will actually be a call—let's extend it to 180 seconds, giving him an extra 60 seconds. If no one calls by then, Ye Xiao has been lying all along."

Xia Mingyue also nodded and said, "Right, I agree."

So, Xia Mingyue and Fang Jing sat on either side of Ye Xiao, watching as each second ticked by.

"Ye Xiao, 100 seconds have passed already. You better be prepared." Xia Mingyue said with a chuckle.

Ye Xiao didn't speak, just smiled faintly, looking like someone calmly strategizing.

At that moment, Xia Mingyue and Fang Jing were also very tense, feeling slightly hopeful as the seconds ticked past. Just after another ten seconds had gone by, they exchanged a glance, clearly thinking they had won.

"It's about time." Fang Jing said smugly, seeing the seconds reach 117.

However, as soon as she said this, Xia Mingyue's phone suddenly started ringing, showing an unknown number calling!
