"Who are you, and what are your intentions?"

"A citizen of Huaxia, a Yanhuang descendant."

Facing Lei Xiaolei's question, Xiaofan's answer was strong and powerful.

"After I saved you that night and returned to the room, I found someone climbing onto your balcony. I thought David was up to no good with someone, so I chased after them. Then, I found out it was one of your teammates from Yanhuang Soul. Of course, I didn't mean to eavesdrop," Xiaofan explained.

"Then how did you know the name Yanhuang Soul?" Lei Xiaolei asked again.

"My grandfather used to be part of Yanhuang Soul. Fan Lingtian's grandfather has met me. Also, the Four Heroes of Yanhuang have met me too. You just need to check, and you'll see I have no malicious intent," Xiaofan continued to explain.

"Then what's your relationship with Shen Zuimo, whom you asked about?" Lei Xiaolei asked again.

"She is... my wife."

This title was still a bit premature, but when Xiaofan said it, his heart inexplicably ached. Originally, he had wished so much for Shen Zuimo to become his wife.

"Wha... what?" Lei Xiaolei asked in confusion.

"She used to be an assassin of the Red Butterfly. Later, she turned to the light and connected with Yanhuang Soul. When she was being hunted, she happened to meet me. It's just that she later lost her memory and forgot who she was. We lived together for a while, and then she went to Yanhuang Soul, after which we lost all contact. So..."

"If that's really the case, I'm afraid I can't help you either. I'm at most a warrior. We're assigned tasks in the organization, and we just carry them out. As for other matters, we have no right to ask, nor any way to know," Lei Xiaolei listened to Xiaofan call Fan Lingtian grandfather and his understanding of other figures in Yanhuang Soul, clearly not sounding like he was lying.

"She's very beautiful," Xiaofan added.

"Hmm?" Lei Xiaolei suddenly paused.

"What? Met her?" Xiaofan asked with some delight.

"No, I've just heard teammates mention there is always a very beautiful woman standing on the balcony of a building at the base, looking towards the direction of the setting sun. Other than that, I don't know," Lei Xiaolei answered truthfully.

"Hmm, okay, go back then."

"Hmm, then I'll leave David to you," Lei Xiaolei didn't forget his family feud.

"Do my best."

Bitterly sending off Lei Xiaolei, Xiaofan sat weakly on the sofa. It was really not that easy to find news about her.

"Didn't expect you to have a wife," Chen Mei'Er asked mischievously as she sat down.

"Why are you still here?" Xiaofan only then remembered there was still someone next to him.

"Turns out you're cunning too, tricking someone into coming home as your wife when they have amnesia. Truly heartless," Chen Mei'Er continued to mock Xiaofan.

"If I could deceive her for a lifetime, that would be nice." Those days really were beautiful. Really, if he could deceive her for a lifetime, Xiaofan would do it.

"Sorry," suddenly Chen Mei'Er apologized to Xiaofan.

"Hmm? What nerves are you on?" Xiaofan was surprised at Chen Mei'Er's apology, wondering why this capricious woman apologized to him for no reason.

"Last time, I was wrong. I said your most beloved woman was taken away by someone else. Turns out this is the real situation?" Chen Mei'Er's apology was sincere, and now she remembered that night she indeed went too far.

"You weren't wrong either. When she left, she said she found a man she could rely on. Actually, that night, I just acted out of anger," Xiaofan shook his head with a bitter smile.

Xiaofan wasn't relieved about this matter, but he was facing it more maturely.

"Maybe she said that to make you give up," Chen Mei'Er suddenly said.

"Hmm? Impossible."

"I don't know exactly what happened, but if she loved you at the time, she wouldn't say those hurtful words. Even if she found someone to rely on, she would definitely talk to you face-to-face, hoping for your blessing rather than leaving just words and disappearing. You don't understand women's thoughts at all," Chen Mei'Er said with a pout.

"You mean she said that for my sake?" Xiaofan suddenly felt a shock. If that was the case, how much pain did Zuimo carry in her heart?

"Eh, I'm just guessing. You should find her and ask her directly to know the truth," Chen Mei'Er didn't dare guarantee, but as a woman, she just thought that possibility was high.

"I didn't expect you also have some womanly qualities," Xiaofan suddenly laughed heartily.

"Bastard, what are you saying? Where am I unlike a woman?" Chen Mei'Er said, standing up proudly and tilting her head haughtily at Xiaofan.

"Don't flaunt your figure. It doesn't tempt me."

"Hmph, useless eunuch."

"Dare to say it again."

"I'll say it, useless eunuch, worthless..."

"Good, say it again if I ask you to. Alright, don't mess around, go back. I have to think carefully about how to handle David tomorrow," unlike before, Xiaofan also regarded Chen Mei'Er as a friend. Even though this friend seemed to inadvertently tempt him.

"Hey, you really don't want me to stay and accompany you? Maybe you'll suddenly get inspiration with me here? You're just under too much pressure. Let me help you relax, would you?" Chen Mei'Er smiled charmingly, her white teeth provocatively.

"Stop, you swaying those two in front of me distracts me often and makes it hard to focus," Xiaofan said, pouting.

"Bastard, can't you keep some distance? You big perv, always staring at me secretly while pretending to be serious. Hypocrite," Chen Mei'Er cursed and picked up her bag on the sofa, prepared to leave, asking at the door: "Tomorrow's the finals, how much to bet?"

"How much in total?" Xiaofan asked softly.

"Over twenty million..."

"What? How much?" Hearing this number, Xiaofan almost dropped his jaw.

"Hmph, uncultured guy," Chen Mei'Er was a rich heiress, and twenty million was indeed a lot, but that didn't mean she couldn't put it up.

"Leave ten million and bet the rest."

"Why? So confident?"

"No, I want to give myself more pressure," Xiaofan said slowly.

"Understood."

Pressure brings motivation, and Xiaofan had to fix his position in every aspect. Somehow, he also became reckless with money.

"Friend hiding on the balcony, you can come in now," after Chen Mei'Er left, Xiaofan suddenly turned and called toward the balcony.
