"Hao, we already have those things at home, there's no need to buy them." Shangguan Long Yi saw Ye Hao buying those expensive drinks and tried to persuade him not to.

"It's fine, I'm just buying something to pay a visit to Grandpa Dapao." Ye Hao laughed. He was never stingy when visiting elders, especially since he wasn't short of money.

"Well, do as you please then!" Seeing Ye Hao's determination, Shangguan Long Yi didn't stop him.

Ye Hao bought two bottles of '82 Lafite and a case of Remy Martin, as if he hadn't visited relatives in over ten years and wanted to make sure it was worth it this time.

Seeing Ye Hao buy so much, Shangguan Long Yi had no choice but to help carry it to the car.

After spending more than half an hour shopping, Ye Hao finally stopped to pay, satisfied.

The total came to over three hundred thousand, which made Shangguan Long Yi wince. Was Ye Hao always this generous? Buying so many things just like that.

Actually, Ye Hao had his reasons. Murong Lan had been in a bad mood lately, which, as Ye Hao understood, was likely because he hadn't come to Yanjing to make her younger, so she was irritable.

Ye Hao bought a lot in hopes of making her feel a bit better, otherwise, even if he did make Murong Lan younger, there would still be an awkwardness between them.

If Ye Hao bought a lot of things for the visit, it would be different. At the very least, a smiling face doesn't get hit, and a polite person doesn't get cursed out!

When the time comes, Ye Hao could express how busy he was, and Murong Lan would understand. This way, there would be less awkwardness between them in the future.

"Hao, that's too extravagant." Shangguan Long Yi said a bit helplessly, looking at the receipt.

"Haha, it's nothing. I'm usually busy and don't have time to come to Yanjing, neglecting Grandpa Dapao and Grandma Murong Lan. So today, as their grandson, I came specially to visit. How could I come empty-handed?" Ye Hao laughed, then had Shangguan Long Yi lead him into the Shangguan Clan.

The Shangguan Clan was also gathered around the Zhongnanhai area, where courtyards were connected in clusters. The next-door neighbors were either military bigwigs or government bosses, so if ordinary people lived in these areas, the pressure would crush them.

Shangguan Long Yi parked the car outside the courtyard entrance; he hadn't told Murong Lan about Ye Hao's arrival beforehand.

So, Murong Lan and Shangguan Dapao didn't know about Ye Hao's visit.

Ye Hao cheerfully helped carry the drinks as he followed Shangguan Long Yi into the courtyard.

However, just then, a stunning figure appeared in front of Ye Hao and Shangguan Long Yi.

This stunning figure, with long hair cascading down her back, occasionally emitted a faint fragrant scent. The stunning figure was a beautiful young woman, around nineteen, with almond-shaped features and a fair face tinged with a rosy hue, looking very attractive.

However, upon seeing this woman, Ye Hao suddenly felt a headache. Every time he encountered her, her bizarre actions left him in a state of discomfort...

This woman was none other than Murong Xue.

"What are you doing here?" Murong Xue asked vigilantly, as if Ye Hao had some ulterior motive.

"I'm not doing anything!" Ye Hao said innocently.

"If you're not doing anything, why are you here?" Murong Xue said warily, as if trying to block Ye Hao from entering.

"I'm here to see Grandma Lan and Grandpa Dapao!"

"That's my grandaunt, not your grandma. Why are you being so diligent?" Murong Xue pouted and huffed.

"Just visiting." Ye Hao didn't dare speak much with this woman, as her antics often left him on edge, and saying more could lead to trouble.

"Nothing worth visiting, you can leave now." Murong Xue waved her hand dismissively.

"Xue, what are you saying! Hao is here, how can you be like this?" Shangguan Long Yi, although older than Ye Hao, called him brother. As the eldest grandson of the Shangguan Clan, calling an outsider elder brother showed Ye Hao's standing within their family.

"What kind of 'Hao brother,' just an underground thug." Murong Xue pouted, thinking to herself that Ye Hao was just someone who controlled the underground forces in Peng City. Did he really deserve Long Yi to call him brother?

"Yes, yes, I'm a thug, alright?" Ye Hao was completely intimidated by this woman, so no matter what she said, he went along with it, otherwise who knows what trouble she'd stir up.

"You are a thug. I've seen your file, being ambiguous with many women, identity unclear, clearly a stowaway from the mainland. Hmph! If we weren't in Yanjing right now, I'd detain you myself." Murong Xue said, raising her hand as if recalling her days as a member of the criminal police team.

But those days were long gone, now she had to focus on school. Her previous stint as a police officer was merely to experience life.

In reality, she was just starting university.

"That's my business, alright? Why do you love to meddle so much like a dog chasing a mouse?" Ye Hao asked in exasperation.

"Your business is my business. What if you harm my uncle?" Murong Lan said.

"Come on! Your imagination is too wild!" Ye Hao was completely at a loss with this woman.

"Hmph! Don't think you can fool me, just because you fooled Long Yi. You're just trying to cozy up to my grandaunt." Murong Xue said, as if she saw right through Ye Hao.

"You're crazy." Ye Hao retorted disdainfully at Murong Xue.

"Deny it all you want, keep denying and it'll just make you seem more fake." Murong Xue wasn't angry when Ye Hao said she was crazy; after all, many people had called her crazy before, one more from Ye Hao wouldn't matter. She was already immune.

If Ye Hao knew what she was thinking, he might feel completely defeated.

"Not lightly crazy..." Shangguan Long Yi muttered quietly behind Ye Hao.

"Long Yi, what did you say?" Murong Xue stomped her foot, glaring at Shangguan Long Yi in agitation.

"Nothing, nothing. Xue, stop stirring things up. I'll take Hao inside now, you should go to bed early with Long Yi!" Shangguan Long Yi said, then ushered Ye Hao past Murong Xue.

As Ye Hao passed Murong Xue, intending to sidestep her, Murong Xue suddenly moved, startling Ye Hao.

Murong Xue quickly squatted down, and Ye Hao instinctively stepped back a few paces. He was genuinely afraid of this woman, as she'd almost turned him into a eunuch before. He swore he'd never want to experience something so uncomfortable again in his life.

Murong Xue picked up an earring pendant from the ground, and seeing Ye Hao step back, she disdainfully said, "You're insane. I'm just picking up an earring pendant, and you react like I'm attacking you. No wonder you carry a gun around all the time."

Ye Hao heard this and felt utterly defeated, as if a herd of ten thousand muddy horses charged through his mind, internally shouting: (To be continued.
