"No need to thank me. If you dare treat Cheng Yun poorly, you're done for." Wang Luoxin glared at Zhou Hao and raised her fist in warning.

"Understood, definitely understood!" Zhou Hao hastily began to pledge.

"Let's plan what to do later," Ye Xiao said.

"Plan what?" Wang Luoxin looked at Ye Xiao with a bit of confusion, as if she really didn't quite get it.

Ye Xiao said, "Of course, create a romantic atmosphere. They're just one paper-thin layer away from breaking through, and once they do, there'll be no problem."

"Ye Xiao, are you really dumb, or just pretending?" summer Ming Yue said to Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao said, "I'm so smart, how could you use the word 'dumb'?"

"Do you really think it's best when everything's spoken clearly?" Xia Mingyue said, "It's better not to break that paper-thin layer. You can tell Cheng Yun's been through some stories, and she doesn't care about little romances—that's for dealing with naive little girls."

"Exactly!" Wang Luoxin laughed immediately.

Ye Xiao said, "But what should we do? Look at Zhou Hao, he's as worried as can be."

Right now, Zhou Hao truly was worried. Because of the recent misunderstanding, he was most afraid Cheng Yun wouldn't talk to him in the future.

Zhou Hao never had this thought before. Perhaps this is the tie of liking someone.

"What's there to worry about?" Wang Luoxin looked at Zhou Hao and said, "Or do you have no confidence in yourself? If you sincerely like Cheng Yun, I'll help you do the mental work. When the time is right, things will naturally fall into place."

"But when will things naturally fall into place?" Zhou Hao asked nervously.

Wang Luoxin couldn't help but laugh: "I've never seen Zhou Hao so nervous about anyone before. Well, except when he's nervous around Ye Xiao, he hasn't been tense around anyone else. Looks like Cheng Yun really is lucky."

Zhou Hao said, "Sis, please stop teasing me, okay?"

Calling Wang Luoxin 'sis' indeed left her stunned for a moment. Though she was secretly pleased inside, she still glared at Zhou Hao with a look of anger, snorting, and said, "What's wrong with you, saying anything you want? I'm not your sis-in-law, I'm your sister."

Zhou Hao immediately looked at Ye Xiao, only to find Ye Xiao gazing upward, seemingly inspecting the ceiling lights.

"Sister Xin." Zhou Hao quickly said, now starting to understand that hiding certain things might have benefits.

"Alright, let's consider it settled. Ziyan and Cheng Yun have already gone upstairs. If we don't head up soon, Cheng Yun will definitely think we're scheming something, and then I won't be able to act as a spokesperson." Wang Luoxin said seriously.

"Then let's go upstairs, I'm starving." Ye Xiao said while rubbing his stomach, as he prepared to head upstairs.

Watching Ye Xiao take the lead up the stairs, Wang Luoxin, Xia Mingyue, and Fang Jing exchanged glances, their unspoken understanding clearly present in their eyes.

"Let's go. Cheng Yun doesn't like people who are overly worried." Wang Luoxin patted the still somewhat anxious Zhou Hao.

Zhou Hao immediately responded with an 'oh' and quickly followed after Ye Xiao.

"This guy, hanging around Ye Xiao, has picked up bad habits." Wang Luoxin said with a wry smile.

At this moment, Fang Jing, who hadn't spoken much, smiled slightly and said, "It's more like he's become less fake from being around Ye Xiao."

"Is Ye Xiao not fake?" Wang Luoxin chuckled lightly and said, "I think Ye Xiao is the most fake person in the world."

Fang Jing heard Wang Luoxin's words, smiled slightly, then shifted the conversation: "I remember Ziyan is your friend, right? How did she suddenly become Ye Xiao's sister? Are they long-lost siblings?"

"Been watching too many TV dramas, huh?" Wang Luoxin said, "It's just a coincidence."

Speaking of this, Wang Luoxin couldn't help but sigh. She somewhat understood Ye Ziyan's intentions.

Rose Hall!

This is the private room introduced by the waiter. When Ye Xiao came up, Ye Ziyan and Cheng Yun were already there.

"Bro, sit here!" Ye Ziyan pointed to a chair beside her, which was the only throne-like chair in the entire room.

This unique chair was evidently made for the host.

Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "How can I accept this?"

"It's fine, sit. I just asked the waiter—the one who sits here pays the bill." Ye Ziyan said.

Ye Xiao had walked over to the chair, ready to sit, but hearing what Mr. Ye said, he paused.

"What? You're not planning to pay the bill today?" Ye Ziyan looked at Ye Xiao suspiciously.

Hearing this, Ye Xiao immediately understood. Yes, today, whether he sits here or not, he's still paying the bill. So, Ye Xiao sat down on the throne, relaxed against the chair's soft backrest, and felt immensely satisfied.

"Bro, how is it?" Ye Ziyan looked at Ye Xiao and asked.

Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "It feels great to be the one paying!"

"..."

At this moment, Ye Xiao realized someone was standing beside him, and when he turned to look, it was Zhou Hao.

Ye Xiao looked up at Zhou Hao and immediately said curiously, "What are you doing?"

"Boss, how about I take care of this?" Zhou Hao said.

Ye Xiao, hearing Zhou Hao's words, couldn't help but laugh and said, "Are you trying to take my spot?"

"No, I'm treating today." Zhou Hao chuckled.

Ye Xiao, hearing Zhou Hao's words, immediately chuckled and said, "Alright, since you want to show off, I don't mind at all."

Ye Xiao knew that Zhou Hao was doing this entirely for Cheng Yun.

But just then, Cheng Yun, playing with her phone, said, "What's with the big show? My phone is almost dead."

These two sentences from Cheng Yun, honestly, seem unrelated to most people, but Ye Xiao immediately picked up on it and quickly said to Zhou Hao, "Are you out of your mind?"

Zhou Hao's brain usually reacts pretty quickly, but now it was a bit slow. However, after Ye Xiao's reminder, he finally understood.

Zhou Hao quickly went to Cheng Yun's side and said with a smile, "You can play with mine first."

Cheng Yun didn't even look at Zhou Hao and directly took his phone to play.

But Zhou Hao just stood there, motionless, seemingly not knowing what to do again.

"Sit down already. Do you really want to take my spot?" Ye Xiao felt that Zhou Hao's brain was indeed a bit dull today, as if all his usual dating instincts had been eaten by a dog.

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Zhou Hao quickly sat down.

Ye Xiao looked at Ye Ziyan, Cheng Yun, and Zhou Hao sitting on his left, clearly noticing that the three beauties would sit on the right later.

"Can we order now?" Asked the waiter standing in the private room at this time.

"Bring it over." Ye Xiao, sitting in the 'throne,' suddenly felt a sense of wealth and power.

"Wait a minute!" Ye Ziyan turned to look at Ye Xiao sitting beside her and said, "Brother, shouldn't we wait for the ladies?"

"Hey, don't talk nonsense, okay?" Ye Xiao quickly looked at the door after hearing Ye Ziyan's words and then said.

"That's the result of being too affectionate!" Cheng Yun tauntingly remarked at this moment.

Ye Xiao didn't argue with her, only saying, "We should respect everyone's wishes, but they are really slow."

"Be careful; if the ladies hear you, you'll be in big trouble." Ye Ziyan said with a chuckle.

"I've told you, stop calling them ladies." Ye Xiao said again, "But let's wait for them, otherwise they'll say we're not loyal."

Ye Ziyan, hearing Ye Xiao's words, chuckled lightly and glanced at Cheng Yun and Zhou Hao. Zhou Hao was sitting beside Cheng Yun like a little wife, cautious and scared.

Ye Ziyan suddenly felt that acknowledging Ye Xiao as her godbrother was very wise, as it could reduce a lot of trouble.

However, after they waited for five minutes and still no sign of anyone coming.

"Didn't they come directly upstairs?" Cheng Yun put down her phone, looked up at Ye Xiao, and asked.

Ye Xiao was also puzzled and said, "They should have come straight up, even if crawling, they should be here by now."

"Go have a look!" Cheng Yun said to Zhou Hao beside her.

Zhou Hao immediately stood up obediently.

Ye Xiao looked at Zhou Hao, smiled slightly, and stood up, saying, "Zhou Hao, let me go instead."

Ye Xiao said as he walked toward the door, still telling the waiter, "Let these three order first."

"Alright!"

Obviously, the female waiter also knew who the host was today!

Ye Xiao left the Rose Hall and found that Wang Luoxin and the others were not in the corridor, suddenly feeling a bit puzzled. Could they have gone to the bathroom?

Ye Xiao thought about it and continued to walk downstairs.

But just as he reached the stairway, he saw Wang Luoxin, Xia Mingyue, and Fang Jing being blocked by four or five drunken guys.

At this moment, Ye Xiao looked closely and found that one of them was He Huawei!

"Xia Mingyue, it's your good fortune that I'm interested in you. Don't think that because you have some relation with the Guard Bureau people, I'll be afraid of you. I messed up this time, but I won't let it go." He Huawei pointed at Xia Mingyue and shouted loudly.

At this moment, a woman in a restaurant uniform with a badge that read 'Dining Room Manager' said to He Huawei, "Sir, let's sit down and talk it over properly."

"Talk your mother's ass!" He Huawei slapped the dining room manager on the face, then drunkenly looked at Xia Mingyue again, laughing, "Today, you have to come with me, haha, otherwise, see that? We five will definitely make it unpleasant for you."
