"Although the value of this new energy can’t be estimated, the prerequisite is that President Ye has the capability to properly guard it. Human nature is greedy; the higher its value, the more people will covet it. For the Ye Family and Ye Corporation to seize control of this new energy would be all harm and no benefit."
"Thank you, Miss Yan, for the reminder, but these are my affairs and not something you need to worry about."
Ye Yaxin said indifferently.
"I heard that Miss Ye has a fiancé named Xiao Yifeng, right?"
The beauty spoke up again.
Ye Yaxin’s eyes narrowed slightly as she scrutinized the beauty before her.
"I can’t say I know him. I’ve just heard of him. Well, since President Ye has made up your mind, I won’t say much more. Goodbye!"
The beauty stood up, saying this as she turned and walked toward the exit.
Just as she had left the office, Xiao Yifeng happened to walk in.
For a moment, their gazes collided, each observing the other.
Xiao Yifeng looked at this stunning beauty, whose appearance and demeanor were no less impressive than Ye Yaxin’s, and a hint of astonishment flickered in his eyes.
Meanwhile, the beauty’s gaze lingered on Xiao Yifeng, her eyes shimmering with a strange light.
"You must be Mr. Xiao, hello!"
The beauty greeted him proactively.
Xiao Yifeng replied softly, not sure why, but feeling a vague sense of familiarity when looking at this beauty, though the memories in his mind seemed elusive.
"My name is Yan Ruyu, it’s a pleasure to meet you!"
The beauty said with a slight smile.
Xiao Yifeng asked with a puzzled expression in his eyes.
Yan Ruyu just smiled lightly without speaking and left the area.
Watching Yan Ruyu go, Xiao Yifeng’s eyes flashed with confusion before he entered Ye Yaxin’s office.
"What are you doing here?"
As she saw Xiao Yifeng, Ye Yaxin’s face instantly turned icy, transforming into an iceberg.
"Wife, haven’t you calmed down yet? Actually, I..."
Xiao Yifeng began with a grin on his face.
Ye Yaxin commanded coldly.
Looking at Ye Yaxin’s frosty demeanor, Xiao Yifeng felt extremely helpless; having nearly melted the iceberg, he hadn’t expected it to revert to its frozen state overnight.
"No matter what you think, you Ye Yaxin are my woman for life, Xiao Yifeng’s woman, and nobody can change that!"
Xiao Yifeng declared forcefully before turning and heading out. As he just opened the office door, he saw Lu Xueqing standing there.
Xiao Yifeng glanced at Lu Xueqing as she walked away from the office and then entered, approaching Ye Yaxin and giving her a quick look.
"Yaxin, what’s going on with you? Have you had a fight? Why is your face so cold?"
Ye Yaxin shook her head.
"I’ve been your close sister for years, and you think you can keep secrets from me? I can tell something’s wrong just by looking at you. Did that guy Xiao Yifeng bully you? Tell me, and I’ll teach him a lesson for you!"
Lu Xueqing stated directly.
"He has another woman outside."
Ye Yaxin said, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
"What? He dared to go that far!"
Lu Xueqing’s expression shifted, her eyes flickering.
"Xueqing, what do you think I should do? Should I give up on him or forgive him?"
Ye Yaxin looked at Lu Xueqing with pleading eyes.
"I can’t really say... All of this you have to follow your own heart, what you truly feel about this guy. But looking at you, you probably have fallen for him. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have such a strong reaction to him having another woman outside."
"Perhaps, but now I just don’t know whether I should continue or not."
Ye Yaxin’s eyes were filled with confusion, somewhat helpless.
"Ya Xin, some things, once lost, are very hard to regain. Although this guy is a bit of a flirt and irresponsible, I can tell he’s very responsible at heart and treats you well. He’s a good choice."
Lu Xueqing looked at Ye Yaxin and said gravely.
"So we are just going to let this go?"
Ye Yaxin said, her eyes cast down.
"That depends on what that guy thinks. However, you can give him the cold shoulder for a couple of days as a small lesson. See what he plans to do after that, then make your decision. I think it’s best for you not to live with regrets or remorse, that’s the best."
Lu Xueqing advised her.
"Hmm." Ye Yaxin nodded, deep in thought.
Outside Ye Corporation, inside a luxury car, Yan Ruyu sat there with two cheongsam-clad women beside her.
"Miss, what should we do now?"
The woman with orchids embroidered on her cheongsam, named Lan, looked at Yan Ruyu and asked.
Yan Ruyu said softly.
"Miss, are we just going to let this new energy source go? And what about Xiao Yifeng..."
"Given Ye Yaxin’s attitude, unless we forcefully take it, she’s not likely to sell the new energy source. As for him, it’s not yet time for our formal discussions."
A glimpse of contemplation flashed through Yan Ruyu’s eyes as a phrase echoed in her mind.
"Little sister, are you here alone? Where are your parents? Are you hungry? Here, have some snacks and cheer up!"
As this phrase echoed in her mind, a faint smile appeared on Yan Ruyu’s lips, momentarily brightening her face.
By this time, Xiao Yifeng had already left Ye Corporation and went to where Kuang Shi and the others were.
Arriving there, Xiao Yifeng saw Kuang Shi, Cold Edge, Dahu, Erhu, Lin Mu, and, of course, Qijie.
Since Qian Duoduo had gone back to Yanjing, Qijie was temporarily staying here.
"Brother Xiao, you’re finally here. I’m so bored staying here with a bunch of big guys."
Qijie ran up to Xiao Yifeng, a look of utter boredom on his face.
"If you had a woman yourself, you wouldn’t be bored, would you?"
Xiao Yifeng laughed and smiled.
"I want to go out for a walk!"
"It’s your first time down the mountain and you’re unfamiliar with everything here. Is it okay for you to go out alone?"
Xiao Yifeng looked at Qijie with some skepticism.
"Don’t worry, I managed to go abroad on my own; what’s this in comparison? My networking skills are not bad; I’m going to search for my true love!"
Qijie touched his shiny bald head and spoke with sincerity.
Xiao Yifeng almost burst out laughing, looking at the monk who appeared to be in his late teens and hearing him talk about true love, it was hard not to laugh—it was quite comical.
"Are you sure you’re not here to be a comedian?"
Xiao Yifeng glanced at Qijie.
"Amitabha, I am serious, young monk. Alright then, goodbye!"
Qijie said as he prepared to leave.
Xiao Yifeng handed him a cell phone.
"Take this mobile phone, so you can get in touch if anything comes up!"
Xiao Yifeng said, and then Qijie left the place.
