Housekeeper Qiao: “…”

Si Ye Han: “…”

Lin Que: “…”

Yu Shao: “…”

Medusa: “…”

The female housekeeper stood in stunned silence, overwhelmed by the terrifying presence that surrounded Ye Wanwan, an aura of imminent danger and the dominance of an authority figure.

Ye Wanwan’s expression grew colder, and her icy gaze swept over them. It was as though a blizzard had swept in from a thousand miles away, leaving everything frozen. She continued, “I’ll give you three seconds. Take your people and leave.”

The two girls were taken aback, not expecting the President’s daughter to appear here and demand their departure. They both wore expressions of reluctance, still looking in Si Ye Han’s direction, hoping to be taken under his wing, unwilling to miss such a golden opportunity.

One of the seemingly innocent girls spoke with a hint of distress, “Miss Ye, even though you’re President Ye’s daughter, isn’t this a bit too domineering?”

The other charming girl chimed in, “Exactly, why can’t we be at the Director’s side? He’s not anyone’s property!”

Ye Wanwan lowered her eyes and let out a soft laugh, then in the next moment, she drew the dagger from Medusa’s side and slammed it down on the ground beneath the girls with a resounding thud.

The entire marble floor cracked open, extending right up to the girls’ feet.

“Ah!”

The bloodthirsty and intimidating display seemed to be straight out of a hellish nightmare, causing the two girls to scream in terror.

Ye Wanwan said, “You don’t want to leave? Fine, then stay.”

Implied in her words was the idea that they would leave with their lives intact.

“No, no, no… we’re leaving… right now…”

The two girls dared not stay any longer and scrambled into their car. After all, this was Ye Lingjun’s daughter; there was nothing they wouldn’t do.

The female housekeeper, witnessing this, also decided to leave. Even the Lady of the House couldn’t ascertain this woman’s identity. What if she was really Ye Yunmo? Defying her could lead to unbearable consequences.

Once the female housekeeper left, silence hung over the entrance.

Ye Wanwan remained silent, standing there, her entire being exuding negativity and an explosive aura.

Based on Housekeeper Qiao’s words earlier, it seemed that Yin Yuerong was not the first to send women to Si Ye Han’s door.

What the heck? Even that Qin Xiyuan, the “Number One Beauty of Tianshui City,” was trying to undermine her. She obediently waited in Yun City, only to be bombarded with suitors. Did she have to compete with them for her man?

If she didn’t come, would Si Ye Han be drowned in a sea of admirers?

Medusa dared not make a sound, watching Ye Wanwan cautiously with the dagger in her hand. “Yun Mo… my… dagger… be careful…”

It seemed that this time, Little Junior Sister was truly furious, even scarier than last time.

Lin Que and Yu Shao were both holding their breath, and Lin Que muttered softly, “This… this situation… why does it feel so familiar…”

Senior Sister replied, “No need to be so polite with me!”

As they spoke, the two of them had already arrived at the entrance of Si’s mansion.

Just as they were about to get out of the car, Ye Wanwan suddenly stopped Medusa and said, “Senior Sister, wait!”

They parked the car at a distance and saw that a car seemed to have been parked there for a long time near the entrance.

As soon as Si Yehan and the others arrived, the car’s door opened, and a woman in her fifties or sixties wearing a maid uniform came out from inside.

Two young and beautifully dressed girls followed behind the female housekeeper.

One of the girls was as pure as a lotus, while the other was alluring and enchanting, completely different types but both exceptionally beautiful.

As soon as the two girls saw Si Yehan, their eyes lit up, and they stared at him intently.

Ye Wanwan narrowed her eyes and, with a quick glance, sensed that the situation was not good.

“Young Master, you’ve returned,” the female housekeeper greeted Si Yehan respectfully.

Si Yehan glanced at the two people behind the housekeeper, and his mood, which was already not good, became even darker. “It seems that Mr. Yin doesn’t remember what I said at the banquet.”

The female housekeeper, without showing any weakness, replied, “Young Master, I’m just following orders. Madam instructed me to bring these two girls to you. If you don’t accept them, I’ll have to keep delivering more.”

Lin Que, seeing his ninth brother’s increasingly frightening expression, was at a loss. It seemed that the peach blossoms just couldn’t be avoided, and they were increasing in number.

“I say, Old Madam, why are you doing this? Ninth Brother already said he doesn’t need them, and you keep sending them!” Lin Que was angry.

The housekeeper maintained her composure. “I’m just following orders. If Young Master doesn’t like these two girls, I can bring others tomorrow.”

Lin Que: “…”

Not far away, Ye Wanwan heard the conversation clearly, finally understanding what was happening. It was just as she had suspected from the beginning. Yin Yuerong had been trying to corner her from the start!

And she was sending someone every day?

Ye Wanwan quickly got out of the car, and Medusa followed, fearing that she might cause trouble.

“Housekeeper Qiao!”

The clear voice of the girl behind made Housekeeper Qiao pause, and she instinctively looked in the direction of the voice.

“You are…” Housekeeper Qiao had never seen Ye Wanwan in person, but she had seen her in photos and immediately recognized her. “Miss Nie…?”

Medusa chimed in, “This is Miss Yi, the daughter of Chairman Yi, Miss Yi Yunmo Yin.”

Housekeeper Qiao’s expression changed slightly and she respectfully said, “So, it’s Miss Yi. I apologize for my rudeness.”

So, she was Yi Yunmo, the woman the old lady had doubts about.

Lin Que, seeing the sudden appearance of Yi Yunmo, was even more confused. “Oh my… How did this woman end up here? What does she want?”

Yue Shao looked at Yi Yunmo, then at Housekeeper Qiao and the two beautiful women behind her, and he was equally puzzled. What a bizarre situation…

With a cold expression, Ye Wanwan glanced at the two beautiful women behind Housekeeper Qiao and said, “Housekeeper Qiao, it seems that I haven’t been clear enough with my recent attitude, have I?”

Housekeeper Qiao lowered her head and replied, “I don’t understand Miss Yi’s meaning.”

Who knew that, within a few minutes, they suddenly saw Si Yehan coming out of the elevator alone.

Si Yehan was wearing only a single garment, with the buttons at the neckline undone. His face was as dark as water, a scene that easily triggered one’s imagination…

“Oh my God… did he really get…?” Lin Que was shocked and rushed to meet him. “Nine… Nine Brother, are you okay? What happened to your clothes? What did Miss Yi do to you?”

Wasn’t he going to change clothes? How come his outerwear disappeared, and he came out wearing only a single garment?

Si Yehan shot a freezing gaze at Lin Que, who immediately fell silent and dared not ask another word.

Yu Shao and Lin Que exchanged a glance, both feeling complex emotions.

When Ye Wanwan chased after him, all she saw was the taillights of a car, and Si Yehan had already driven away.

As Medusa passed by, she happened to see Ye Wanwan and hurried over, lowering her voice. “Little Junior Sister… what are you doing here?”

Ye Wanwan sighed Avray in distress. “It’s a long story. Hurry, where’s your car, Senior Sister? Catch up with Si Yehan’s car ahead, and I’ll explain in your car!”

“Alright!”

The two of them quickly got into the car, with Medusa driving and Ye Wanwan in the passenger seat.

“What happened? Weren’t you supposed to go with Senior Si… to change clothes?” Medusa was puzzled.

Ye Wanwan’s face darkened. “Don’t mention it. I finally got him up there, and before I could make a move, I found a big surprise waiting for me as soon as I entered!”

Medusa asked, “A big surprise?”

Ye Wanwan replied, “A man lying on my bed without any clothes on… and Si Yehan caught us in the act! Do you think I’m innocent in this?”

Medusa coughed. “How could this happen, and who did it?”

Ye Wanwan peered ahead while grumbling, “It was that Director Xu with the last name Xu!”

“Director Xu, huh? No wonder… it does seem like something he would do. This situation is really… quite the coincidence!” Medusa couldn’t help but smile wryly.

The more Ye Wanwan thought about it, the angrier she got. “Exactly! He ruined my chance! He’s so selfish!”

Medusa commented, “Director Xu is driven by greed and uses any means necessary. From what I know, his son has good character and is likely being pressured by his father. It’s not easy for him. But you leaving him like this, I’m afraid he’ll face difficulties when he goes back…”

Ye Wanwan’s eyes flashed. “I sympathize with his situation, but I’m sorry, I’m not a saint. I can’t save everyone, and this is not within my jurisdiction.”

Looking at it from a different perspective, if a similar situation happened to Si Yehan today, where someone sent him a pitifully beautiful woman, even if he helped her out of sympathy, she wouldn’t feel comfortable about it.

She had already caused a misunderstanding with Si Yehan, so there was no way she could get involved in this situation. Otherwise, what kind of person would she become?

Call it selfishness or a lack of empathy, but other people’s affairs were not her concern.

Medusa, seeing how nervous and evasive Ye Wanwan was, was somewhat surprised. It was the first time she had seen her care so much about someone.

Medusa reassured her, “Your approach is not wrong. Otherwise, if this becomes a precedent, everyone will act the same way. You probably can’t handle it, and besides, you can’t intervene directly. If Si Yehan misunderstands again, it’ll be a disaster. Don’t worry, leave this matter to me.”

Then, as if not satisfied, Si Yehan sternly says, “Close your eyes.”

Just as Ye Wanwan is about to look at the bed, she immediately closes her eyes subconsciously. “…”

What the heck is going on here?

Why does Si Yehan’s face suddenly look so terrible?

What on the bed could upset Si Yehan so much?

Could it possibly be a naked man?

The air falls into a deathly silence, and all she can hear is Si Yehan’s labored breathing due to anger.

Ye Wanwan, with her eyes closed, can’t figure out what’s happening and is feeling extremely anxious.

Right at that moment, she hears a faint rustling sound from the bed, followed by a hoarse and panicked voice, “Miss Ye… Miss Ye…”

What the heck?

Why is there another man’s voice in the room?

Ye Wanwan can’t hold back any longer, she opens her eyes, and then she sees…

Damn it! There’s really a man on the bed!!!

And she’s seen this person before!

It’s the young man who was introduced to her by a council member who seemed a bit unscrupulous last time. She had a feeling that he might be trying to sell his son for personal gain.

But she never expected him to act so swiftly and bring the man to her bed the very next day!

“Miss Ye… I…” The young man is lying on the bed, his upper body completely naked, and at the moment, half-covered by the coat Si Yehan tossed over. He blushes and can’t find the words to speak.

He didn’t expect Ye Yunmo wouldn’t be alone and brought another man with him.

This man is still a council member…

At this moment, Ye Wanwan stares at the man on the bed and then glances at Si Yehan beside her with great caution. This situation is driving her crazy.

Damn it, she’s being set up!

“Did your father send you here?” Ye Wanwan’s voice is cold, and she speaks firmly to distance herself from him.

Baby, please don’t misunderstand me; I don’t know anything!

The young man’s body trembles slightly, and he initially wanted to withdraw, but for some reason, he gathers his courage, tosses his coat toward Ye Wanwan, and pleads, “Miss Ye, please don’t send me away! I’ll do anything you want!”

Ye Wanwan narrowly avoids the young man’s touch, her face looking extremely unpleasant. “Get out!”

The young man understands very well that if he’s sent away like this, he’s done for. So, he continues to beg, “Miss Ye, please… don’t send me away… At the very least… you don’t dislike me, right? You said… I have a good personality…”

Si Yehan: “…”

Ye Wanwan is utterly exasperated. She only made an offhand comment; she didn’t mean anything by it!

Ye Wanwan subconsciously turns her head, wanting to speak to Si Yehan, but Si Yehan is already leisurely rolling up his sleeves and then turns around, saying, “Since Miss Ye is busy, I won’t disturb you.”

The next moment, without waiting for Ye Wanwan to explain, there’s a loud “bang” as the hotel room’s door is shut.

“You…” Ye Wanwan glares at the young man, utterly at a loss for words, but he’s likely a victim in all of this.

“Put your clothes on!” In the end, Ye Wanwan can only leave this sentence and hurriedly follows Si Yehan.

Good daughter, can you be any more obvious?

However, Ye Wanwan completely ignored him.

Although this method is quite shameless, it’s fortunate that it’s effective and reasonable. Si Yehan simply couldn’t refuse.

And then, Ye Wanwan unabashedly led Si Yehan upstairs to her room.

Tonight, she’s been too passive. She must turn the tables.

Lin Que, trailing behind, was helpless and anxiously shook Yu Shao, “This is blatant, shameless seduction!”

Yu Shao cleared his throat and said, “Keep your voice down. I think Miss Yi just wants to make friends with the adults. Besides, I still stand by my initial view that there’s nothing wrong with it. Moreover, Miss Yi’s status is much higher than Qin Xiyuan’s. With Miss Yi’s help, our tasks will be much simpler.”

Lin Que glared, “Your initial view? What was your initial view? To have Ninth Brother use seduction tactics!?”

Yu Shao replied, “Don’t make it sound so bad. It’s just a little… persuasion.”

Lin Que retorted, “If you have the guts, say that in front of Nie Wuyou, that female devil! Thankfully, Qin Xiyuan failed in her seduction attempt, but Yi Yunmo is different. This woman is terrifying; even Ninth Lord can’t resist her. If this continues, Ninth Lord’s reputation is in jeopardy. It won’t be just about seduction tactics; you might as well calculate how many times that female devil will stab you!”

Yu Shao mumbled, realizing he wasn’t great at math…

…

On the way, Ye Wanwan was surprisingly well-behaved, maintaining her aloof demeanor as she led Si Yehan to her room.

The party was held at the largest hotel in Tian Shui City, and Yiling had reserved the entire venue. Ye Wanwan’s room was the presidential suite on the top floor of the hotel.

Ding!

The elevator bell rang, and they reached the top floor.

“This way,” Ye Wanwan walked ahead, took out her keycard from her purse, and opened the room.

The room seemed to have been perfumed by a servant, with an overpowering scent of essential oils.

The scent wasn’t unpleasant, but it was just too strong, making people slightly uncomfortable.

“I’ve already prepared some clothes for you, Director Si. You can change if you’re not too troubled by it,” Ye Wanwan said and added, with a hint of intention, “If you don’t mind.”

Since they were going to take their clothes off anyway…

Si Yehan didn’t seem to grasp the implied meaning in Ye Wanwan’s words and replied politely, “Thank you, Miss Yi.”

With that, he picked up the clothes placed on the couch and headed towards the adjacent room.

Why go so far to change clothes…

Ye Wanwan felt a bit disappointed, extended her neck to sneak a peek, and thought about how to make her move later.

But after a while, there was still no sign of Si Yehan.

What’s taking him so long to change clothes? Why hasn’t he come out yet…

With suspicion in her heart, Ye Wanwan stood up and went toward the adjoining room.

It wasn’t about trying to sneak a peek; she was simply worried about him.

“Director Si…”

Ye Wanwan reached the door of the inner room, only to find that Si Yehan hadn’t entered at all. He maintained the posture of opening the door, but his gaze inside the room was like icy blades, and his entire body exuded a chilling, spine-tingling aura.

Ye Wanwan had no idea what was happening and hurried over to see inside the room.”

Si Yehan: ‘Miss Ye, you flatter me.’

Ye Wanwan cryptically remarked, ‘I heard Mr. Si has a fiancée. To make Mr. Si remain so chaste and pure, she must be a perfect woman, right?’

Si Yehan looked at her and said, ‘On the contrary.’

Ye Wanwan was puzzled, ‘On the contrary…?’

What does he mean? Si Yehan is saying that his fiancée is not perfect.

Si Yehan continued, ‘She’s far from perfect. She’s impulsive, quick-tempered, can’t hold her liquor, unreasonable, likes to cause trouble, gets jealous easily, lies often, especially good at being hypocritical…’

Ye Wanwan: ‘…’

Si Yehan: ‘She promises things on the surface but never obeys behind my back, always outside my expectations and control…’

Ye Wanwan: ‘…’

Si Yehan: ‘Every day with her feels like an adventure…’

Listening to Si Yehan listing all her flaws, Ye Wanwan’s expression nearly collapsed, and her tone turned gloomy. ‘Is that so? Since your fiancée is so terrible, what do you like about her then?’

Si Yehan’s gaze fell on the bright stars in the girl’s eyes. ‘Miss Ye, I thought I made it clear just now.’

Ye Wanwan: ‘…’

Upon hearing this, Ye Wanwan was left dumbfounded for a moment. He made it clear just now?

What did he say just now? He was clearly criticizing her!

Uh… Si Yehan meant that… all those things he said were actually the things he liked about her…

Si Yehan continued, ‘Because that person is her, in my eyes, everything about her is perfect.’

Wow!

As soon as the words fell, Ye Wanwan’s heart nearly raced uncontrollably. This was even more heartwarming than being called a fairy descended from heaven.

What’s going on with Si Yehan?

Back in the day, he clearly had no emotional intelligence, but now he’s completely transformed.

She had prepared to flirt with him tonight, but she ended up being caught off guard.

As the song ended, the entire room erupted in applause.

‘Miss Ye, you danced wonderfully!’

‘Absolutely, you’re like a fairy!’

…

Si Yehan said, ‘Miss Ye, I have official business to attend to. I’ll take my leave.’

Ye Wanwan picked up a glass of wine from a passing waiter’s tray and swirled it gently. ‘Let me accompany you.’

Si Yehan remained expressionless. ‘No need.’

Ye Wanwan playfully swirled the wine and thought, he escaped last night, but she didn’t expect to let him escape again today.

In the next moment, Ye Wanwan’s wrist made an inconspicuous twist, and most of the wine spilled onto Si Yehan’s clothes.

“Jiu-ge,” Lin Que on the side was startled, “Are you okay, Jiu-ge?”

Si Yehan frowned slightly and raised his hand. “I’m fine.”

“I’m truly sorry…” Ye Wanwan said, but there was no hint of remorse on her face. Afterward, she instructed the nearby waiter, “Prepare a clean set of clothes in my room.”

The waiter immediately complied, saying, “Yes.”

Ye Wanwan looked at the man in front of her. “Mr. Si, follow me upstairs to change your clothes before leaving.”

Lin Que watched this scene, feeling utterly exasperated.

Seriously, this… this… she’s acting like a female overlord! Didn’t she see that Jiu-ge didn’t want to go with her?

The wine spill was clearly deliberate. She said it was for Jiu-ge to change, but who knows what she really wants to do!

This is… completely exposing her true intentions!”

Qin Xiyuan had been suspicious because of Yi Yunmo’s appearance, but now, watching Sihan’s attitude, she became less certain.

The more Lin Que thought about it, the more he worried, but he couldn’t come up with a solution. He stayed on the side, smoking a cigarette, exhaling clouds of smoke.

The smoke wafted in Sihan’s direction with the wind.

Yewenwen had been waiting for Sihan’s response, but her gaze suddenly shot toward Lin Que like a sharp blade, ‘Put out the cigarette.’

With a cigarette in his mouth, Lin Que looked puzzled, ‘Uh… what?’

Yewenwen reached out and gently waved away the wisp of smoke in front of Sihan, repeating, ‘Put out the cigarette.’

Lin Que looked at Yewenwen, then at Sihan, finally realizing the situation. He didn’t say anything, but his mind was filled with complaints.

Are you kidding me? Jiu-ge is a man; a little smoke won’t hurt him. Is there a need to make such a fuss?

Lin Que glanced at his dear Jiu-ge with a mournful expression and obediently extinguished the cigarette.

Sihan naturally received Lin Que’s mournful gaze, but there was no change in his expression. He lightly tapped his fingers on the glass counter, his deep, starry eyes calmly fixed on the girl in front of him.

Yewenwen said, ‘Sihan, please.’

Amidst the attention of the entire crowd, Yewenwen extended her hand to Sihan.

Sihan glanced at the girl’s soft and delicate palm, then slowly stood up, using his large hand to envelop her small one.

Accompanied by the melodious violin music, the two entered the dance floor together.

Inside the dance floor, almost everyone instinctively stopped and retreated to the side.

These two were just too dazzling. Their dance moves and steps appeared effortless, yet they matched as if they were a couple Avray in love.

As the crowd sighed in admiration, their eyes unconsciously turned toward Qin Xiyuan and Yin Heng on the side.

Originally, people were still admiring this golden boy and jade girl couple, but when compared to the pair on the dance floor, they suddenly seemed insignificant.

“Tsk tsk, it seems that the eldest son of the Si family is truly remarkable…”

“I’m impressed! So, Qin Miss must have been lying, right?”

“I think so. Qin Miss was probably rejected and chose to be with Yin Heng out of spite.”

“Nine out of ten! Yin Heng doesn’t have the ability. After all these years at the Yin family, he’s just a manager. With his limited talents, he can only pick up the scraps left by Sihan!”

The surrounding conversations became increasingly unpleasant, and Qin Xiyuan became more and more displeased with Yin Heng. She pushed him away, feeling embarrassed and angry, and walked away in her high heels.

Initially, she had been with Yin Heng to make Sihan regret, to make him feel embarrassed. Who would have thought that the president’s daughter would fancy him, turning her into a laughingstock.

Yin Heng was pushed and staggered, but his gaze remained fixed on the two people on the dance floor, his face exceptionally gloomy.

Getting the attention of Vice President Qin’s daughter was a tremendous honor, but now, all that glory had turned into shame, and he had been made into a laughingstock!

On the dance floor, Sihan had only one hand holding the girl’s hand, and his other hand lightly hovered near her waist, not actually touching her. He was the embodiment of a true gentleman.”

People at the scene had heard that Miss Yi, who is known for her cold and arrogant demeanor, completely ignored everyone last night, but surprisingly, she exchanged a few words with Sir Ye Han and even invited him to dance.

The crowd was eagerly waiting for gossip, but today Miss Yi seemed indifferent to Sir Ye Han’s arrival, sitting there talking to Medusa without casting a single glance at him.

In reality, before Miss Ye Wan Wan could make a move, Sir Ye Han was already occupied by Yi Ling Jun.

Seeing no interaction between the two, Yin Heng, who had been watching from a distance, finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed he had misunderstood…

Sir Ye Han’s attitude had somewhat crushed Miss Ye Wan Wan, leaving her sitting there dejectedly.

Medusa coughed softly and consoled, “Junior sister, this shows his loyalty to you. You should be happy! When you recover your identity as Nie Wuyou, you can date as you wish!”

Miss Ye Wan Wan muttered, “I want to date right now!”

It was too frustrating to want something that you could see but not touch!

Medusa, glancing at Sir Ye Han not far away, gently said, “From his current attitude, it’s probably not very likely…”

Miss Ye Wan Wan was feeling down, but suddenly, a lightbulb went off in her head, “Why not possible? Who am I? I’m not Nie Wuyou right now! I’m the daughter of the Arbitration Council’s Chairman! With my current status and backing, I can assert myself and directly take what I want!”

Medusa: “Uh…”

Was something off with that statement? On second thought, it seemed to make sense.

Once she realized this, Miss Ye Wan Wan instantly revived, elegantly stepping forward in her high heels.

Tonight, she was wearing a smoky makeup look, a black evening gown that revealed her beautiful butterfly bones on her back, and high heels with thorn-like designs around the ankle straps, accentuating her fair skin’s allure.

She gracefully walked toward Sir Ye Han, like a black rose under the moonlight, dangerous and enchanting.

So beautiful…

Almost all eyes were fixed on the girl.

Yi Ling Jun saw his daughter approaching and gave her a questioning look with his eyes: What do you want again? He obviously doesn’t want to deal with you; he refused you directly last night!

Miss Ye Wan Wan ignored Yi Ling Jun, walked directly up to Sir Ye Han, and asked, “Director Sir, care to dance together?”

Sir Ye Han: “…”

Yi Ling Jun: “…”

Everyone around: “…”

It’s the same line as last night…

If last night’s invitation was casual, tonight’s second attempt seemed less forgivable, right?

After an eerie silence that lasted who knows how long, Sir Ye Han slightly raised his head and said to the girl, “Miss Yi, I’m sorry, but I have prior engagements today.”

He rejected again!!!

The onlookers couldn’t believe their eyes, all collectively looking at Miss Ye Wan Wan.

Two consecutive rejections, and she can still endure it?

A breathtakingly beautiful smile curved on Miss Ye Wan Wan’s lips. She leaned in slowly to Sir Ye Han’s ear and whispered, “Director Sir, I’m not seeking your opinion.”

She then forcefully closed the file he was holding with a loud “slap” and shoved it into Yi Ling Jun’s arms. “Now, it’s settled.”

With a warning look, she glared at Yi Ling Jun.

Yi Ling Jun swallowed hard and said, “Ah, I’m getting old, and my energy can’t keep up with these things. Let’s talk about it another day.”

Sir Ye Han: “…”

From Nie Wuyou’s perspective, if Si Yehan didn’t come, she should be happy, but from Yi Yunmo’s perspective, she seemed a bit upset.

Regardless of who she was, she just had to get involved with him!

Ye Wanwan kept glancing toward the door but never saw Si Yehan’s figure. Instead, a continuous stream of people came to chat with her.

In a nearby corner, the director who had previously tried to please her with his son was also present today.

“Xu Yang, if you dare to run off like last time, see how I deal with you!”

“Dad… Are you telling me you brought me back for this? To flirt and please a woman?” The young man’s eyes turned crimson, his face filled with anger.

The director coldly snorted, “What else do you think? With your martial talent, you’re no better than a useless person! Besides your face, what use do you have for our Xu family?”

“Dad…” The young man couldn’t believe it.

“If you dare to misbehave again this time, get out of the Xu family. Don’t be a part of our family!” The director handed him a room key and said, “I’ve already arranged everything. Get into this room now. As long as you can make Miss Yi happy and help bring your mother back to the Independent State, I’ll consider it!”

The young man clenched the room key tightly, and his gaze gradually softened.

Ye Wanwan’s entire being was focused on the door, unaware of these events in the shadows.

The party was already well underway, and the expected guest hadn’t arrived yet.

Ye Wanwan had lost her patience and was ready to leave, embracing her role of aloofness and indifference.

But just as she was about to take a step, a familiar figure appeared at the door, accompanied by Lin Que and Yu Shao.

Since it was a relatively private party, Si Yehan dressed casually, wearing loose-fitting casual clothing with a windbreaker. His slightly pale complexion made him appear less stern and a bit more harmless, captivating everyone’s attention.

Finally, he arrived!

Ye Wanwan had waited for him for half the evening, feeling quite aggrieved.

“Director Si, welcome!” Yi Lingjun smiled and approached him with a glass, offering a friendly greeting. She then added with concern, “If you’re not feeling well, there’s no need to come.”

It seemed her daughter had no time for him.

Si Yehan politely replied, “It’s just a minor ailment. Since the chairman invited me, I couldn’t refuse. Besides, I wanted to discuss the matter of the bill from the last time in more detail.”

Ye Wanwan, not far away, heard this and her expression grew even darker.

So, he came here despite not feeling well, and it was all for Yi Lingjun?

Yi Lingjun glanced at Ye Wanwan, her eyes filled with gloating satisfaction, and then warmly led Si Yehan away.

Completely ignored, Ye Wanwan thought, “…”

Medusa approached and whispered in Ye Wanwan’s ear, “Little junior sister, it seems that Si Yehan is truly uninterested in you!”

Ye Wanwan sighed, wondering if she had lost her touch.

She couldn’t even capture his attention anymore…”

Qin Xiyuan and Yin Heng were naturally present.

Several socialites gathered together, enviously watching the luxurious and extravagant scene and the long list of esteemed guests.

“Wow! This is such a grand event!”

“It sure is. It’s just an ordinary party, but it’s even more splendid than Qin Xiyuan’s coming-of-age ceremony!”

“After all, she’s the chairman’s daughter! Even though one is the heir and the other is not, it’s like night and day!”

“Hush, keep your voice down. Don’t let Qin Xiyuan hear us!”

…

Similar discussions had been ongoing since last night, and Qin Xiyuan couldn’t have possibly missed them. She simply restrained herself, following her father’s advice.

She couldn’t help but wonder why Chairman Yi had suddenly acquired another daughter, and one who bore a striking resemblance to Nie Wuyou at that. What’s even more coincidental was that this Yi Yunmo seemed to have her eye on Siyehan!

She had discreetly investigated Yi Yunmo’s background, but there were no flaws. She truly was Chairman Yi’s daughter. Yet, something felt off to Qin Xiyuan.

Inside, was there something amiss?

Today, Yin Heng had returned to his previous gentle and attentive attitude towards Qin Xiyuan. He stayed by her side the entire time, taking excellent care of her.

“Yuan Yuan, how did Chairman Qin react to my entry into the Arbitration Council?”

“Don’t worry; I already discussed it with my father. There won’t be any issues. The Council has a vacant seat, and they need the right person to fill it.”

Yin Heng’s face lit up with joy. “Really? That’s great! Now I can contribute to Chairman Qin’s side and assist him.”

As for Ye Wanwan, she was nearly being driven to the point of breakdown by Yi Lingjun. She had patiently waited for today’s meeting to end so she could carry out her plan and find Siyehan. However, Yi Lingjun suddenly decided to host some kind of party, inviting a large number of people and introducing her to each one.

The way he did it made it seem like he couldn’t wait to tell everyone that he had a daughter…

Ye Wanwan was exhausted and had had enough. “Master, I…”

Yi Lingjun’s face darkened. “What did you call me?”

Ye Wanwan had to change her words. “My lord… I still have important matters to attend to. Can I leave first?”

Yi Lingjun shot her a disdainful look. His expression clearly showed he didn’t believe her. “What are you looking for? Even if you change your identity, even if you wear a turtle shell, if you want to pursue him, you won’t have a chance! He didn’t come even when I personally invited him. It’s obvious he doesn’t want anything to do with you. I suggest you stop pursuing him so aggressively; otherwise, you might end up like Qin Xiyuan. I can’t afford that embarrassment!”

Ye Wanwan gave Yi Lingjun a sideways glance. “Dad, are you kidding me? Even if I change my appearance completely, or even if I wear a turtle shell, I can definitely get his attention if I want to!” Yi Lingjun looked at her with a mocking expression. “I’m not so sure. He didn’t even come when I personally invited him. It’s highly likely he doesn’t want any association with you!”
