Ye Jiu stepped aside, and then Sikong Mo entered, immediately asking, "Where’s Ye Bai today, not here?"
Although Si Rong’s forte was not martial arts, he believed that with his own skill, he could be counted among those in the first class.
However, regarding the sudden attack by Ye Bai that day, he only caught a glimpse of a shadow before being struck without having the chance to defend himself, a blow that had truly struck a chord in his heart.
Once, the Si Rong Ye Jiu knew was always calm, a man with both charm and leadership qualities, particularly those slightly upturned peach blossom eyes that carried an exceptional demeanor when he smiled.
It could be said that apart from Sikong Mo and Jing Wang, he was one of the most outstanding mature men Ye Jiu had ever seen.
But now, looking at him with a face full of guardedness and fear, it was quite out of character, not matching his temperament at all.
"He’s squatting on the tree outside," Ye Jiu explained with interest, "But you can relax. The reason he attacked you last time was that you sneaked around and pried at my window late at night. He didn’t recognize you and thought you were a bad person, so he naturally stepped in to stop you. This time, since you two are acquainted, he won’t attack you again."
Though Ye Bai could now transform into a human form, his behavior and thoughts still bore a strong animal instinct. Coupled with his overly straightforward nature and inflexibility, this made him difficult for Si Rong to handle.
Especially since Si Rong couldn’t beat him.
Now, upon hearing Ye Jiu say that the person was squatting on the tree outside, Si Rong instinctively glanced at the big tree outside.
Sadly, it was dark as pitch, and he could see nothing clearly. Coupled with Ye Bai’s ability to conceal himself, Si Rong inevitably discovered nothing.
Nevertheless, Ye Bai, despite his strong abilities, was very respectful towards Ye Jiu, a point Si Rong had noticed.
So now, with Ye Jiu present, he felt somewhat more at ease.
Turning to Ye Jiu, Si Rong steadied his mind and asked, "Ye Miss, aren’t you curious why I am here in the middle of the night?"
"Of course, I’m curious," Ye Jiu nodded. "That’s why I’m waiting for you to reveal the reason!"
Sikong Mo felt as if he had been choked by the response.
Could he say that he had been waiting all along for Ye Jiu to ask?
As the person in charge of the War Prince Residence’s finances, Sikong Mo had dealt with quite a few people and understood that in negotiations, whoever spoke first would lose.
But in the current situation, it was clear that the other party was not interested in him, so even though Sikong Mo didn’t want to speak first, he had no other choice.
Readjusting his mood and expression, Sikong Mo smiled faintly, putting on that insincere facade, "Actually, I came to propose that we join hands and make money together, Ye Miss. What do you think?"
Now Ye Jiu was indeed interested, "What do you mean by that, Guard Si Rong?"
Seeing the interested expression on Ye Jiu’s face, Si Rong got to the point, "The items in Ye Miss’s hands, whether it’s the initial soap or the current shower gel, or even the newly launched face cleanser from the capital city—these are all exceptional goods.
I believe that Ye Miss, capable of creating these products, must also be an ambitious person. Now our opportunity has arrived. If Ye Miss is willing to cooperate, I promise that within half a year, I can make Ye Miss’s products known throughout Dongyue; everyone will know about them, and anyone who can afford them will be using them."
