Over the years, Wang Yulu has always stayed in contact with her, and their relationship has become even deeper.

Yan Huan's parents are very busy and have implemented the so-called "claw-grabbing" strategy.

So, in private, Wang Yulu had previously asked Ye Lan, who would soon arrive at Linmen, to take extra care of Yan Huan when they were not around.

Ye Lan indeed did this, but...

During this time, her own daughter was also "taking good care" of Yan Huan!

All of this, Wang Yulu had no idea about.

Thinking about what her own daughter did before, Ye Lan couldn't raise her head in front of Wang Yulu, who had just returned.

"...She's not feeling well today and wants to rest at home. She'll come visit you later."

After thinking for a long time, Ye Lan could only come up with such a lame excuse for her absence.

"Oh dear, is she okay?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing..."

Ye Lan waved her hand, but Wang Yulu was still worried and glanced back in the direction of Ye Mansion, saying,

"I'll have Xiao Huan go check on her, and also bring some dinner over... Xiao Huan! Xiao Huan!"

Saying this, Wang Yulu turned back and called a few times to Yan Huan upstairs.

"Coming!"

After a while, Yan Huan's voice came from upstairs.

Seeing this, Ye Lan quickly stopped her,

"Forget it, forget it, Yulu, Aunt Wang is still at home, just make something light for her tonight..."

"How can that be? You've been taking care of Xiao Huan all this time, now that I'm finally back, it's my turn to take care of her~"

"..."

As soon as "taking care" was mentioned, the guilt on Ye Lan's face became even more uncontainable.

"Oh my, Shiyu may be a bit quiet and reserved, but she's a good kid, I could see that from a young age..."

Wang Yulu covered her mouth with praise, and the expressions of An Le and Tong Yingying behind her were very colorful.

And Ye Lan even covered her face, begging her to stop,

"Please... stop, Yulu..."

"Tap..."

At this moment, Yan Huan also came down from the stairs,

"Aunt Ye."

He greeted Aunt Ye warmly, then looked at the tightly closed door behind her.

But after waiting for a while, there was no knock on the door.

"..."

Still unwilling to come?

Yan Huan's eyes lowered slightly, but his expression remained unchanged as he smiled and attended to Ye Lan, who was entering the living room,

"Xiao Huan, don't worry about her, just let her rest for a while... By the way, there are so many people here, Yulu, can you handle it all by yourself?"

Hearing this, An Le, who was standing by, suddenly got brighter as if she finally caught an opportunity, immediately chiming in,

"I can help Aunt in the kitchen..."

"Oh my, An Le, you can cook?"

"Yes..."

"That's great, not many young people know how to cook these days... but there's no need, the dishes are all prepared, just need to put them in the pot."

Wang Yulu smiled and sat next to An Le, saying this.

Sakuragi Hitomi quietly sipped her tea, still as graceful as ever.

Only Tong Yingying looked at An Le in surprise, with the look of seeing a "traitor."

Show-off!

So, you can cook, right?!

I can make egg pudding!

Yan Huan's pudding was taught by me!

Seeing An Le betray her, Tong Yingying unhappily scooted over, ending up next to Aria.

"Bump..."

As a result, she happened to bump into Aria, who was focused on watching TV.

"Huh?"

Aria turned to glance at Tong Yingying, and Tong Yingying almost instinctively wanted to apologize.

But in the next second, Aria nonchalantly turned back to continue watching TV.

In passing, she comfortably leaned against Tong Yingying's arms.

"..."

Feeling the warm and defenseless Aria leaning over, Tong Yingying's heart warmed up inexplicably.

It must be said, among the modifier hosts, this Aria is indeed a bit cute...

"Huh..."

Just as Tong Yingying was thinking this, in the next second, Aria suddenly sat up straight, moving away from Tong Yingying.

Tong Yingying blinked, still not knowing what had happened.

While Aria turned her head, pinched her nose, and fanned the air in Tong Yingying's direction, saying,

"There's a faint strange smell on you... It stinks..."

"..."

Hearing this, Tong Yingying's face instantly darkened.

There might be a faint scent of tobacco on her, which Aria noticed.

But I changed clothes before coming, and even sprayed some perfume. How did you smell it?!

And if you found out, just keep it to yourself. Why say it out loud in front of Yan Huan's mom?!

I won't talk to you anymore, Aria!!

"Ding～"

However, at that moment, the doorbell rang at the entrance.

"..."

"Who is it?"

Upon hearing that sound, the expressions of several people changed slightly.

They turned their heads to look that way, Yan Huan blinked, as if realizing something.

Immediately, he took a deep breath, got up, and went to open the door actively,

"Clack～"

The door swung open, revealing Ye Shiyu standing at the entrance in a white chiffon dress.

She stood expressionless at the door, but her fingers beside her body were clutching the hem of her dress, seemingly a bit nervous.

"..."

After exchanging a glance, it was Yan Huan who spoke,

"Sister Shiyu?"

"!!"

"?!"

When Yan Huan mentioned this name, the room's atmosphere instantly became heavy.

Several gazes were like a flood toward Ye Shiyu, but they were unintentionally blocked by Yan Huan.

"...Shiyu?"

Ye Lan's expression changed, while Wang Yulu hadn't realized what was happening and quickly stood up warmly to greet.

"Shiyu! Long time no see! Still remember godmother?"

"Yes, hello, godmother..."

There was chit-chat in the front, while at the back, Sakuragi Hitomi sipped tea, An Le and Tong Yingying sat back down together.

They exchanged glances, clearly with some thoughts in mind.

In fact, today's gathering by Sakuragi Hitomi wasn't just to celebrate the housewarming and Yan Huan's discharge.

The most important thing was to inform Wang Yulu about the dangers of Ye Shiyu.

One, to protect Yan Huan from repeating past mistakes caused by Ye Shiyu.

Two, because they all noticed Wang Yulu's high favorability toward Ye Shiyu.

Originally, Ye Shiyu was like a fierce tiger; now, with Yan Huan's mother's favor, she might become even more formidable, possibly turning them all into defeated dogs!

"Then you sit down, perfect, Xiao Huan's friends are all here..."

"Come, Sister Shiyu, sit over here."

Under the increasingly turbulent gazes, Ye Shiyu safely sat down next to Ye Lan, facing the three, escorted by Yan Huan.

And Yan Huan, sat next to his mother.

Ye Lan glanced at Ye Shiyu and couldn't help but cover her head in slight frustration,

"Are you alright, Shiyu, your mother just said you weren't feeling well?"

Just then, An Le casually asked with seeming concern,

"Yeah, was it because of the car accident before?"

"..."

These words seemed innocuous on the surface, but were actually very powerful.

Hearing this, Wang Yulu frowned, remembering something,

"Yeah, Shiyu, you were... you were with Xiao Huan then, in the North Sea District... what were you doing there?"

The car accident was notified as an accident by the police to Wang Yulu.

And since she wasn't aware of the modifier, she naturally had no objections.

But with a slight reminder from An Le about the two being together during the accident, Wang Yulu was logically led to question.

Clearly, with An Le's attitude towards Ye Shiyu, she was eager for the truth of her confining Yan Huan to be exposed, to have her ruined.

"..."

Seeing this, Yan Huan was not surprised.

He sighed, and his gaze shifted slightly.

[Currently, the favorability of several girls towards Ye Shiyu]

[An Le: -100%]

And the task for the crab currency, to reach 50%?

This is really...

Yan Huan looked at the illusory favorability before him and just as he was about to take action,

In the next second, his gaze caught a name at the bottom of the favorability list...

There, was a name he found both unfamiliar and familiar.

[Bai Yi: 72%]

72%?

"Hiss..." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Yan Huan gasped in surprise and rubbed his temples.
