Women are strange creatures, difficult to understand, yet at the same time, women are animals that say one thing but mean another.
They say it doesn't matter, but inside, they care more than anyone!
Take Qiu Ruoxi for example, she may say she's fine with another woman being around Ye Xunhuan, but if Ye Xunhuan actually tried bringing another woman around, or if he hinted at wanting to invite Chu Ji, let's see if Qiu Ruoxi can still remain so calm!
Ye Xunhuan isn't stupid, he knows that what Qiu Ruoxi says is definitely not what she thinks in her heart, and if he dares to follow her words, it would be courting death!
Ye Xunhuan knows this very well.
So it's impossible for Ye Xunhuan to go along with Qiu Ruoxi's words.
Ye Xunhuan gave a sheepish smile to Qiu Ruoxi and said, "Chu Ji and I are just classmates, we had okay relations back in school, nothing else, and during those school days, I was more like with Su..."
Halfway through speaking, Ye Xunhuan seemed to realize something and hurriedly shut his mouth!
Upon hearing the word "Su," Qiu Ruoxi's gaze instantly became as sharp as a knife, fixing directly upon Ye Xunhuan.
Seeing Qiu Ruoxi's gaze sharp as a knife, Ye Xunhuan felt a sense of relief, glad that his driving skills were good enough to quickly halt the car, otherwise he would be in trouble tonight.
Ye Xunhuan promptly changed his tune, "Chu Ji and I are absolutely more like acquaintances, nothing more, just catching up after years!"
Qiu Ruoxi didn't bother with Su Guyan, instead, she said with a face full of understanding, "Oh, catching up then!"
"Yes, just catching up!"
"Your kind of catching up is certainly special, taking place in a presidential suite no less."
Hearing Qiu Ruoxi's words, Ye Xunhuan's face immediately turned grim, and he looked at Qiu Ruoxi pitifully and said, "Honey, if I say, I didn't know why either, would you believe me?"
Ye Xunhuan found himself speechless.
Not to mention Qiu Ruoxi wouldn't believe it, Ye Xunhuan felt that even if he said this to anyone else, no one would necessarily believe it!
After all, catching up over a meal should take place in a restaurant, but Chu Ji specifically arranged it in a presidential suite, what could he do?
Seeing Ye Xunhuan's silent stance, Qiu Ruoxi didn't bother with him and turned to walk into the bathroom.
Despite Ye Xunhuan's current words, Qiu Ruoxi actually believed him, and she also knew there should be nothing between Ye Xunhuan and Chu Ji.
But not now doesn't mean anything for the future.
As a woman, Qiu Ruoxi understood women best. Ever since Chu Jiangyue called Ye Xunhuan brother-in-law, Qiu Ruoxi had been wondering if Chu Ji liked Ye Xunhuan. Now that Chu Ji had dinner with Ye Xunhuan in a presidential suite, it further confirmed Qiu Ruoxi's suspicion that Chu Ji liked Ye Xunhuan!
It seems that her cheap husband was quite the heartthrob back in school!
Ye Xunhuan didn't have a mind reading technique, so he couldn't know what Qiu Ruoxi was thinking.
Watching Qiu Ruoxi walk towards the bathroom, Ye Xunhuan didn't say anything, he just lay quietly on the hospital bed.
The next morning, as the eastern sky began to show a trace of dawn, at Xiangzhang Mansion, Dongfang Shu got up early, wearing a black tracksuit.
The slightly loose tracksuit may not highlight her devilish figure like her usual tight dresses, but it gave her a charm that made her like a ripe peach, irresistibly attractive to men.
Perhaps due to the just finished run, Dongfang Shu had a slight sheen of sweat, appearing dusty and travel-worn, with fragrant sweat on her forehead and neck, giving off an unusual beauty.
Upon returning to the villa, Dongfang Shu immediately saw a boy of about twenty-one or twenty-two standing in the courtyard.
The boy looked very ordinary, blending into a crowd and going unnoticed, yet his eyes were as sharp as a hawk in the darkness, carrying a fierce aggression.
Upon seeing Dongfang Shu, the boy immediately approached her.
His gaze at Dongfang Shu was devoid of the greedy lust seen in other men, instead it was calm, and within that calmness was a hint of respect and reverence!
"Have you found out?" Dongfang Shu asked mildly.
"Qiu Ruoxi is in no danger, she was rescued by Ye Xunhuan last night, but as for who made a move against Qiu Ruoxi, we haven't found out anything yet!" the boy stated straightforwardly. "However, Qiu Ruoxi's two secretaries were injured and are currently at Renhe Hospital!"
"Where did Ye Xunhuan rescue Qiu Ruoxi from?"
Last night, after leaving the hotel, Dongfang Shu instructed someone to find Qiu Ruoxi's whereabouts, but found nothing, which filled her with worry and anxiety!
If something happened to Qiu Ruoxi, Ye Xunhuan would definitely be furious, and who in Jiangzhong City, or even all of Zhonghai, would be able to stop him?
"I don't know!" the boy shook his head.
"This has nothing to do with Meng Qi, right?"
"No!" the boy shook his head again.
Hearing this, Dongfang Shu let out a long sigh of relief, "That's good..."
"But miss, Meng Qi he..." the boy hesitated to continue!
"Meng Qi seems to be quite close with Yan Qingdi, the Hidden Guard has seen them together twice."
Dongfang Shu did not immediately respond, but fell into silence.
Since Dongfang Shu remained silent, the boy also stayed quiet, standing respectfully beside her.
Don't know how long it was before Dongfang Shu took a deep breath and slowly said, "See what he's up to!"
"You may go now," Dongfang Shu gestured gently for the boy to leave.
Seeing this, the boy did not say anything further and left directly.
Just as the boy was about to exit the villa, Dongfang Shu suddenly called out to him again, "If you find that he has ulterior motives, do not act!"
This time, Dongfang Shu had completely let the boy go.
After the boy left, a sharp light shot from Dongfang Shu's eyes, and her delicate face was slowly replaced by a frosty demeanor, "Meng Qi, are you planning to team up with Yan Qingdi against Ye Xunhuan?"
Dongfang Shu knew that Yan Qingdi wanted to deal with Ye Xunhuan, and even recruited her, although she had refused.
Now that Meng Qi was apparently getting close to Yan Qingdi, Dongfang Shu couldn't help but suspect that Meng Qi intended to join forces with Yan Qingdi against Ye Xunhuan!
Because of her, Meng Qi had always seen Ye Xunhuan as an enemy, and Yan Qingdi's intentions were obvious. Both had a common target, making it easy for them to align!
