"Ye Guichen, are you afraid that I like you?" Seeing that Ye Guichen had said so much, Murong decided not to hide her thoughts anymore: "Hmph, a real man wouldn't shy away from this! You're right, we might have been from two different worlds before, and when I first met you, I didn't think much of you. I couldn't believe you were fit to be the captain, leading us into the competition!"

"But at the moment you pulled me out of the shark's mouth, my heart melted for you. I know we haven't known each other for long, not even a month combined, but sometimes feelings can't be explained. When it comes, you can't stop it."

Murong grabbed Ye Guichen's hand, the tender touch made Ye Guichen feel as if he were electrified.

Ye Guichen never expected Murong's bold move and awkwardly pulled his hand back: "Lady Murong, you need to calm down."

"What, are you afraid I'll eat you alive?" Murong's face was full of stubbornness: "From childhood to now, I have always gotten whatever I wanted. I always thought no man could catch my eye and I would never fall for any man. But this time is different, I like you."

"Anyway, you're not married yet, so I have the right to pursue you. Even if you were married, I would still have the right to pursue you. I know you have no feelings for me now, but I don't care. I will snatch you away from that woman. Ye Guichen, just you wait!"

After she finished speaking, Murong stood up, walked to Ye Guichen, and gently kissed his forehead like a dragonfly dipping into water.

"Ye Guichen, this was my first kiss. I've kissed you, you are mine now, like Zixia leaving her mark on Supreme Treasure, you'll never escape!" Murong left with a bold stride, leaving Wang Ying, who was glancing this way frequently, stunned.

Wang Ying knew Murong's fiery and daring personality, but she never expected Murong to be this bold.

Ye Guichen was completely flustered.

It wasn't until Murong had been gone for a long while that Ye Guichen came back to his senses, touched his forehead, and shook his head with a bitter smile.

"Sigh…"

Worldwide, there is no shortage of heroes rescuing beauties.

They say women are emotional creatures, it seems this saying is quite accurate.

Just because of one rescue, she wants to give her entire self.

Ye Guichen stood up, just in time to see Wang Ying giving him a fierce glare.

Wang Ying's lips moved slightly, as if she was saying something like "serve you right."

Ye Guichen responded in kind, also moved his lips: "Do you like me too?"

Wang Ying naturally understood Ye Guichen's lip language, her eyes were like daggers, piercing Ye Guichen with intensity, then she turned and chased after Murong.

Just then, Ye Guichen's phone rang.

He picked up and saw the caller, making a strange face.

"Hello, wife, are you not busy anymore?"

During his time in Jinling, Chen Ziran rarely called Ye Guichen.

Later, with the big competition and training at Xiling Mountain, it had been almost half a month since he last heard from Chen Ziran.

Why the sudden call?

And at this hour?

Chen Ziran snorted coldly: "What, are you meeting other beauties, afraid I would disturb you?"

Ye Guichen quickly waved his hand: "Look at what you're saying, how could I be meeting anyone?"

"Hmph, don't forget, our marriage arrangement was set by your master. Even if other women like you, they need to know their place. Without my permission, even if you want a second, third, or fourth wife, it's all impossible."

Ye Guichen widened his eyes: "Wife, are you saying if you agree, I can have a second, third, or fourth wife?"

"Pfft, you're always thinking of good things!" Chen Ziran scoffed, her tone sarcastic: "You seem very relaxed in Jinling, no rush to come back, huh?"

"Uh, wife, listen to you." Ye Guichen felt inexplicably guilty.

Chen Ziran was appointed as his wife by Li Fengxian. Ye Guichen knew that he had been raised by Li Fengxian since childhood, and after spending time with Chen Ziran, he developed feelings for her.

Not sure if it's because of first love, but Ye Guichen felt that Chen Ziran held an irreplaceable place in his heart.

Just like Murong said earlier, feelings are hard to explain.

So, hearing that Chen Ziran seemed angry, Ye Guichen quickly laughed to placate her: "Wife, how about I come back today?"

"Come back for what! I'm busy day in and day out, who cares about you!" Chen Ziran said contradictorily: "Don't flatter yourself. I called today just to tell you, I'm coming to Jinling tonight. I want to see what flowers you've hit on and what grass you've stirred up."

Ye Guichen was stunned but quickly understood. Wang Tianxing must have informed the Chen Group about wanting to develop Dragon Tomb Peak.

Such a big opportunity, only a fool would refuse.

However, Ye Guichen still acted surprised: "Wife, you're coming to Jinling? Are you not busy there anymore, coming to see me specifically?"

"Hey, Ye Guichen, can you stop being so smug?" Chen Ziran raised her voice: "I find you increasingly shameless. We haven't seen each other for how long? I think you're getting slicker and slicker. To be honest, the president of Azure Dragon Commerce suddenly said he is interested in our Chen Group's prospects and wants to collaborate on real estate development. I might not know much about this, but it seems like a good opportunity, so I want to meet them personally."

Chen Ziran seemed to suddenly recall something: "By the way, Ye Guichen, Azure Dragon Commerce is a giant compared to our Chen Group. Even if crumbs fall from their fingers, it's enough for us to feast on. Why would they suddenly want to partner with us? Is there a trap or did you do something?"

Chen Ziran was indeed very sharp.

During this period, Ye Guichen stayed in Jinling. Chen Ziran knew he was dealing with Shennong Sect matters with Mai Gu, so she didn't say much.

But this matter seemed too coincidental.

Previously, Azure Dragon Commerce wanted to swallow the Chen Group, but after Wang Xiong died, their internal instability made them slow down external expansion.

Moreover, Chen Ziran believed that among numerous strong companies in Jiangnan, Chen Group was just a small entity. For Azure Dragon Commerce to take the initiative to partner with them, it's hard not to suspect something.

Ye Guichen didn't want to reveal too much, fearing Chen Ziran would overthink, he exaggerated: "Really? That's great! If our Chen Group can break into Jinling, we can expand and prosper here!"

"Pfft, pfft, no good words from a dog's mouth." Initially, Chen Ziran found the first half of Ye Guichen's words nice, but then she blushed at the latter part: "Alright, stop joking. Give me the address of the martial arts school, I'll find you later!"

"Alright, alright, I'll be waiting, wife!" Ye Guichen laughed as he hung up the phone, quickly sending the address to Chen Ziran. Just as he was about to leave the cafe, two tall figures blocked his way.

Ye Guichen looked up at the two: "What's the matter?"
