In the capital, in a courtyard house left over from the late Qing and early Republic, Longshou stood in the courtyard, his brow furrowed.

He had already guessed that Ye Xunhuan would refuse, or rather, he had little hope since sending Wu Mei to find Ye Xunhuan.

But he still had to try.

The struggle between the overlords could definitely cause a huge sensation, while Yilong's task was to stabilize Huaxia.

If Ye Xunhuan and Hei Ye were to fight in broad daylight, the resulting commotion would be imaginable.

Even if Hei Ye refrains from fighting himself and let others do it, it could still cause a huge sensation, and if Ye Xunhuan doesn't leave and fights with them, it might result in innocent people dying.

Therefore, he didn't want Ye Xunhuan to do this, but Ye Xunhuan simply didn't care about them, insisting on clashing with them directly, leaving the soothing of the masses to be their problem.

Moreover, if they don't want him to act, then they should solve it themselves.

This gave Longshou a terrible headache; he had absolutely no way of dealing with Ye Xunhuan.

Most importantly, Longshou wanted Ye Xunhuan to be prepared, as he was his nephew, lest he be caught off guard.

"This brat doesn't consider my difficulties at all!"

With that, Longshou couldn't help but sigh, a bitter expression appearing on his face.

Meanwhile, in Jiangzhong City, after returning to the villa, Ye Xunhuan found Wang Ma sitting on the sofa watching TV, with Wang Zilin also there.

Upon seeing Ye Xunhuan, Wang Ma immediately stood up and said to Ye Xunhuan, "Young Master, you're back. Have you eaten?"

"Wang Ma, I've already eaten!" Ye Xunhuan replied softly, "Why is Zilin so free today?"

Hearing Ye Xunhuan's question, Wang Zilin shyly smiled and said, "School starts the day after tomorrow, so I want to spend time with my mom!"

According to Wang Ma and Wang Zilin, once Wang Zilin starts school, she'll live in the dorm and won't stay in the villa anymore.

In other words, Wang Zilin and Wang Ma won't see each other every day after that.

"If you want to be with Wang Ma, then stay at home." Ye Xunhuan said casually, "There's a car in the garage, Wang Ma knows where the keys are…"

Before Ye Xunhuan could finish, Wang Ma interrupted, "No need, Young Master. It's good for Zilin to live at school, and she doesn't have a driver's license!"

"Just find some time to get one." Ye Xunhuan said softly, "It's not difficult, or I can have someone get one for you?"

"No… no need!" Wang Zilin quickly waved her hand, "Brother Ye, I can just stay at school!"

Wang Zilin knew that Ye Xunhuan had an extraordinary identity, so getting a driver's license for her would be too easy.

Seeing Wang Zilin's slightly reserved expression, Ye Xunhuan smiled, "If you want it, just tell me, and if you want to come back, you can call me, and I can come pick you up!"

"Thank you, Brother Ye!" Wang Zilin said gratefully.

"Alright then, Wang Ma, I won't disturb you two any longer, I'm heading upstairs!" Ye Xunhuan said softly, "Remember to rest early!"

With that said, Ye Xunhuan headed upstairs.

After arriving upstairs, Ye Xunhuan went straight to Qiu Ruoxi's bedroom.

In the bedroom, Qiu Ruoxi was wearing pink cartoon pajamas, sitting cross-legged on the bed, reading a fashion and finance magazine with full concentration!

Even when Ye Xunhuan pushed open the door and entered from the outside, Qiu Ruoxi had no reaction.

Used to Qiu Ruoxi's demeanor, Ye Xunhuan walked slowly over to her and chuckled, "Wife, can't sleep without me in your arms? So you're waiting for me to come back and sleep together..."

Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan's shameless words, Qiu Ruoxi slowly lifted her head, "Would you die if you kept a little dignity?"

"Isn't there an old saying that goes, if men aren't bad, women won't love them? What if I kept dignity and you didn't love me anymore?"

Qiu Ruoxi sighed helplessly, this guy had no idea what shame was, always saying things in such a way that left one unable to retort, as if everything he said was right!

"The day after tomorrow Zilin starts school, by then we'll take her to report to school together, don't forget." Qiu Ruoxi didn't banter with Ye Xunhuan but instead brought up Wang Zilin's matter directly.

"I just heard Wang Ma talk about it downstairs, rest assured, I won't forget!" Ye Xunhuan vowed confidently.

Seeing Ye Xunhuan's statement, Qiu Ruoxi put aside the magazine in her hand, her gaze sweeping over Ye Xunhuan and then said again, "Earlier I saw someone drop you off, where's your car?"

"With Wei Zixu!" Ye Xunhuan admitted without hiding, "He drove off in it, Wu Mei brought me back!"

Upon saying this, Ye Xunhuan seemed to realize something and couldn't help but glance at Qiu Ruoxi, "Wife, how did you know someone dropped me off?"

Before Qiu Ruoxi could speak, a look of understanding appeared on Ye Xunhuan's face, "Oh, I get it, you must have been looking out the window waiting for me like a loyal wife, aren't you?"

Hearing Ye Xunhuan's words, Qiu Ruoxi's cheeks flushed slightly.

In fact, it was true; Ye Xunhuan had told Qiu Ruoxi he wouldn't be back for dinner tonight, but as time ticked away and he still hadn't returned, Qiu Ruoxi couldn't help but wonder if he'd gone to see that other woman and wouldn't be back tonight.

This led her to wait at the window for quite some time.

When she saw him return, Qiu Ruoxi felt a surge of happiness, but seeing Ye Xunhuan return without his own car left her surprised!

"Wu Mei brought you back?" Qiu Ruoxi didn't respond to Ye Xunhuan's banter, instead, she stared at him and asked.

Seeing Qiu Ruoxi's sharp gaze, Ye Xunhuan assumed she had misunderstood and hurriedly explained, "Wife, don't misunderstand, Wu Mei and I just happened to run into each other on the road…"

"Ran into each other on the road?"

"She came to find me!" Ye Xunhuan quickly corrected himself, "To discuss something, if you don't believe me, I'll call her and let her explain..."

Just then, Ye Xunhuan's phone rang suddenly.

Hearing the ringtone, Ye Xunhuan hesitated a bit, then forced a couple of awkward laughs to Qiu Ruoxi and reached for his phone.

Seeing the caller ID, Ye Xunhuan immediately frowned.

The number was somewhat unfamiliar, but it indicated that it was from Jiangzhong City. Whose could it be?

After a moment's hesitation, Ye Xunhuan slowly answered the call, "Hello…"

"Marshal, your friend in the police is quite something!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Xunhuan's expression became slightly tense, "What do you plan to do?"
