"Jess..." Ye Tianchen, upon being shouted at by Jess, displayed an utterly dumbfounded expression, while Jess looked at Fei Xuelin with a face full of respectful awe.
"Miss Xuelin, how come you’re here?"
Jess spoke to Fei Xuelin with added respect, his body slightly bowed as if a subordinate in the presence of a superior, which immediately caused Ye Tianchen to look stunned, and even Ye Yaxin’s eyes flashed a trace of astonishment.
"Jess, shouldn’t you be staying in your Country Y? Why have you run off to China, and even thinking about taking a Chinese woman as yours? Would old man Duke Jason agree to it?"
Fei Xuelin looked at Jess and lightly laughed. She directly addressed Duke Jason of Country Y by name, without a hint of respect, and yet Jess didn’t dare to say much more, because he was well aware of Fei Xuelin’s background.
The young lady of Europe’s First Financial Tycoon Family, the Locke Family, controls most of Europe’s economy, even thirty percent of Country Y’s economy is held in the hands of the Locke Family.
The royal dignitaries of Country Y dare not speak against the heiress to the Locke Clan, the next in line to inherit the family’s mantle.
To him, a grandson of a duke, his status seemed as insignificant as that of a commoner in her presence, his noble birthright utterly useless.
However, Jess was quite helpless, for he had merely come to China to show off, and now he had stumbled upon this woman.
"Miss Xuelin is right, I shall embark on my return to Country Y immediately."
Jess promptly said, realizing that with such a woman here, he dared not stay any longer.
Yet seeing how this previously insignificant Chinese lad appeared intimately close to Fei Xuelin, he felt highly shocked and speculated about the youngster’s true identity.
The first goddess of Europe, pursued by myriad European noblemen and princes, appeared to be as close as lovers with such a Chinese man; if word of this spread to Europe, it would undoubtedly cause an uproar.
"It would be best if you refrain from coming to China again, and some women are simply out of your reach."
Fei Xuelin spoke indifferently, exuding the aura of a queen, which frightened Jess so much that his face turned pale as he hurriedly nodded, turned around, and left without looking back.
Watching this unfold, Ye Tianchen’s mouth hung open, his face full of shock, and his eyes filled with disbelief as he looked at Fei Xuelin, a question emerging in his mind: Just who was this foreign lady?
She had managed to scare the grandson of a true duke into fleeing back to Country Y with just a few words; it was simply terrifying. Thinking back on how he had belittled her moments before, Ye Tianchen felt a chill running through his body.
"Had it not been for your sister’s sake, your words just now would have consigned you to the hell of your world."
Fei Xuelin glanced at Ye Tianchen once more, and with that one light look, his body trembled, and his face whitened.
"Miss, my brother was rude just now, I hope you won’t take offense to him."
At this point, Ye Yaxin quickly spoke to Fei Xuelin.
"President Ye, you don’t have to be so formal. We should consider ourselves sisters, and I wouldn’t take such a small matter to heart. However, it’s no wonder this man came looking for you, given your stunning beauty," Fei Xuelin said, her eyes carrying a hint of sulking as she glanced at Xiao Yifeng, like a scorned woman, causing Xiao Yifeng to inwardly sigh with distress. What was this all about? The wife and mistress had met, and it seemed like an explosion was imminent!
Ye Yaxin’s eyes sparkled ingeniously, her gaze carrying an indescribable meaning as she looked at Xiao Yifeng, "Aren’t you going to introduce me to this lady?"
"This... her name is Fei Xuelin, a good friend of mine."
Xiao Yifeng thought for a moment before speaking, but he felt somewhat uneasy inside.
"That’s right, President Ye, don’t misunderstand. He and I are truly just good friends who like to communicate in bed, nothing more," Fei Xuelin said with a beaming smile.
At that moment, Xiao Yifeng felt an urge to vomit blood. Damn, this girl was really setting him up; she didn’t have to be so blunt with her words...
Xiao Yifeng had already keenly sensed Ye Yaxin’s facial expression start to turn cold. Two murderous glares swept towards him, making him extremely embarrassed and unsure how to speak.
"Then we won’t disturb you two anymore. Tianchen, let’s go."
Ye Yaxin said coldly and left the place, with Ye Tianchen giving Xiao Yifeng a meaningful glance before quickly departing.
"Fei Xuelin, you’ve really put me in a tough spot this time."
Xiao Yifeng looked at Fei Xuelin with a face of helplessness, now unsure how Ye Yaxin would treat him once he returned.
"What’s the matter, can’t our mighty War Emperor handle a woman? That would be quite weak, wouldn’t it? Moreover, do you plan to spend your whole life with just your fiancée? That’s something you probably couldn’t stand."
Fei Xuelin looked at Xiao Yifeng coyly, her large eyes blinking, and she wore a mischievous smile as she gazed at him.
"Don’t worry, I’m always the boss at home! If she dares to disobey, she’ll face the family discipline directly!"
Xiao Yifeng said with great assertiveness to avoid being looked down upon by this woman.
"Truly domineering, you really are the man I, Fei Xuelin, fancy. Let’s go in and have dinner. Later, you must keep me good company; who knows when we’ll meet again next time," she said.
Fei Xuelin led Xiao Yifeng into the private room, while Kurt stood outside the room like a javelin.
Inside the private room, after the two had a meal, then...
It was ten o’clock by the time he left the hotel and returned to Haitang Garden, and as expected, Ye Yaxin had not gone to rest.
She was sitting quietly on the villa’s sofa. As Xiao Yifeng returned, her eyes swept sharply over him, her demeanor cold and indifferent.
Xiao Yifeng wore an awkward expression and was somewhat at a loss for words.
"Aren’t you going to sleep? I’ll head to bed first."
"Xiao Yifeng, you sure have a lot of secrets!"
Ye Yaxin said sarcastically, her eyes flickering peculiarly as she watched Xiao Yifeng.
"Even Europe’s First Financial Tycoon Family’s heiress, the global top company Ouliya’s President, has such an intimate relationship with you. You’re really something, aren’t you?"
Ye Yaxin’s tone turned colder, evidently having learned of Fei Xuelin’s identity.
