"You wouldn't know this, would you? Actually, it's quite simple. Before we came here, a friend of mine already quietly followed them and rescued Wanwan! That's why I said she's safe now." Ye Xuan explained with a smile.

He wasn't bluffing to Zi Ye with these words; it was the truth!

Because, before this, Murong Wanwan had indeed been rescued, and even Ye Xuan was somewhat surprised by the person who did it!

It was none other than the Dark Empress—Natasha, whom he had met with before.

At first, he didn't quite believe it, but the truth was as such. Earlier, just as he set off with Liu Yanyan and Zi Ye, he received a phone call from Natasha. The purpose was to tell him that Murong Wanwan had been rescued from the kidnappers by her!

Ye Xuan naturally had some doubts, because Natasha had always been disdainful of any involvement he had with other women! She also harbored resentment towards his women, so why would she suddenly be kind enough to voluntarily rescue Murong Wanwan?

However, when he later heard Murong Wanwan's voice on the phone, Ye Xuan then believed it was true that Natasha had indeed rescued Murong Wanwan!

And because he knew this information, Ye Xuan didn't have any worries or fears. He was quite relaxed the whole way here.

Earlier, he decisively taught these kidnappers a harsh lesson, otherwise, how could he be so carefree and unconcerned about Murong Wanwan's safety?

"Are you serious? Not joking with me?" Zi Ye asked suspiciously.

"Of course! Why would I joke about this? This concerns my own woman's safety. Do you think I'm that careless?" Ye Xuan pouted.

Zi Ye wanted to nod and say yes, but she quickly thought of another issue and frowned, "If you knew Murong Wanwan was safe, then why didn't you say earlier and brought us here? Were you deliberately messing with us?"

"Hehe, the way you say it makes it sound like I absolutely had to tell you! Whether to tell you is my choice! Besides, you're not my wife, have you let me touch your chest? Why should I tell you?"

Ye Xuan smirked with a teasing curve at the corner of his mouth.

Zi Ye: "..."

She found she couldn't communicate with this guy anymore!

Spewing obscenities, it's puzzling how such a crude fellow could possess such impressive skills! Simply baffling!

Seeing Zi Ye's frosty reddened face, Ye Xuan smiled slightly, then waved his hand, saying, "Alright, can't be bothered to talk more. You watch over these people here, I'm going to pick up my little Wanwan and head home! Bye-bye!"

With that, he turned around, hands in pockets, and strolled out of the valley.

"Hey! Wait..."

Watching Ye Xuan leave, Zi Ye subconsciously wanted to call out to follow him.

However, when she glanced at the people lying on the ground, she frowned deeply and had to give up the idea.

Since these people came for that item, she must extract some useful information from them! Ideally, identify the person behind it all; better stay and handle this first before leaving!

Not to mention how things were with Zi Ye.

When Ye Xuan walked out of the valley, he got into his car and said to Liu Yanyan, who was anxiously waiting there, "Alright, the matter is settled! Let's go pick up Wanwan."

"Do you know where Wanwan is?" Liu Yanyan asked eagerly.

"Yes, but she's safe now, we can go directly to pick her up!" Ye Xuan nodded.

"Really? That's great!"

Liu Yanyan showed a delighted expression; knowing Murong Wanwan was fine, she finally relaxed! Her charming face blossoming into an enchanting smile.

She gratefully said to Ye Xuan, "Ye Xuan, thanks so much this time! No matter what, you saved Wanwan."

"No need for thanks, it was my oversight that led to Wanwan being kidnapped by those assassins! Saving her safely was my responsibility."

Ye Xuan said seriously, "Moreover, she's my woman. Even if it's not my fault, wherever and whenever, if Wanwan is in danger, I'll go all out to rescue her, as it's a man's duty."

"Ye Xuan, hearing that makes me happy for Wanwan!"

Looking earnestly at Ye Xuan, Liu Yanyan contemplated for a moment, then apologized, "I was in a bad mood because Wanwan was kidnapped before, so I gave you a hard time! Sorry about that, please don't take it to heart."

Seeing this, Ye Xuan smirked playfully and teased, "Oh? I didn't expect the high-and-mighty Queen to apologize so humbly! Haha, I'm quite honored."

Then his tone changed generously, "Alright, since you're sincerely apologizing, I'll let it go! But only this time; in the future, you should treat me better. I have a bad temper, if I get upset, I might have to do something! Let's say a little spanking as punishment, otherwise, you'll not know your limits... Wait, no! Your butt is not little, Wanwan has a little butt, yours is a big one! Hehe..."

This guy, initially speaking quite seriously, but then reverting to his lecherous nature, talking nonsense!

Liu Yanyan felt both ashamed and annoyed, no one had ever spoken to her in such a way.

This guy, just as she treated him a bit better, he started climbing the pole with no comprehension at all! So infuriating!

"Vulgar!"

She spat lightly, blushing, glared at Ye Xuan, and couldn't be bothered to respond.

"What? Calling me vulgar? I don't think I've done anything to you yet! If that's the case, should I do something then? Otherwise, wouldn't it be unworthy of the term 'vulgar'!"

Ye Xuan smiled playfully, his mouth curving into a mischievous arc,

His gaze roamed over Liu Yanyan's slender body, moving closer to her, he blew hot air at her face, raised an eyebrow, and said, "I say, Yanyan beauty, your sister is about to become my woman soon, so shouldn't you call me brother-in-law? On this clear moonlit night, don't you want to engage in some thrilling emotional exchange with your brother-in-law in this wilderness? Wouldn't it be a waste of such a beautiful night?"

Breathed upon by Ye Xuan's hot air, a flash of panic quickly swept through Liu Yanyan's eyes.

Especially, being so close, openly teased by him, made her feel both ashamed and furious, as if a little deer was wildly pounding in her heart.

As the Fiery Flame Queen, Liu Yanyan had never experienced such a scenario before, revealing an unusual bashfulness for a moment but quickly returning to normal.

Taking a deep breath, she gazed at Ye Xuan with authority, and coldly said, "What do you want? Stop being naughty!"
