"Driven by a woman’s intuition..." Bai Haoxue wrapped her arms around Ji Hanyu’s neck, "This assistant must be quite something special. Can you have someone check it out for me?"

"Okay!" Ji Hanyu responded. Once the medicine on her feet was absorbed, he picked Bai Haoxue up and placed her on the bed.

"What are you going to do now?" Bai Haoxue mumbled, "I feel like you’ve been really busy lately."

It was hard enough to get him to come home on time from work, yet he spent most of his time in the study, busy with something unknown.

"Washing up..." Ji Hanyu chuckled, pinching her cheek, "Tonight I’m not busy, the whole evening is yours."

Bai Haoxue: "..."

It was clearly a normal sentence, so why did it sound so ambiguous to her?

"Tch..." Bai Haoxue said contradictorily, "Who cares about you? It’s just right if you don’t keep me company, I have more time to spend with the two darlings, they’re much cuter than you, hmph."

Ji Hanyu: "..."

Sooner or later, those two little short legs need to be sent away.

...

M Country!

In a classical room, a man lazily leaned against a crimson sofa, swirling a glass of red wine in his hand.

"Swish, swish, swish..." The wine-red liquid made a clinking sound against the glass. A golden mask covered his face, hiding his specific features, but his slightly curved lips and exposed outline made it clear he was an extraordinary man.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and Ye Jinyan entered.

The man with the golden mask gestured for Ye Jinyan to drink, but Ye Jinyan remained unmoved, "I am curious, why are you so intent on killing Li Mingmo?

You should know, given Li Mingmo’s current status, he’s a prominent military colonel. If you harm him, can you bear the consequences?"

"So what?" The man in the golden mask was indifferent, "I want to kill him, and that’s reason enough."

"You..." Ye Jinyan sneered, "I don’t care what you do, but don’t you dare lay a finger on Bai Haoxue."

"Bai Haoxue..." the man with the golden mask savored the name, seeming quite intrigued.

"Bai Haoxue..." The masked man paused, then looked up at Ye Jinyan, "This woman is rather surprising.

I heard she’s staying at Snowfield Manor again recently, did Ji Hanyu take her back?"

Lately, his focus had been on Li Mingmo, neglecting the people in S City.

Ye Jinyan didn’t answer the question directly. Even though they had known each other for years, he couldn’t quite figure this man out.

He didn’t want to bring another big trouble to Bai Haoxue.

"That’s none of your business," Ye Jinyan said, "Whatever you plan to do, Bai Haoxue is innocent. She’s just a simple girl, she won’t affect you in any way.

For my sake, leave her alone."

"NO... NO... NO..." The masked man wagged his finger, "She’s not innocent, not at all. Don’t you think she’s the source of the trouble?"

"She’s not the source of trouble, she’s innocent." Ye Jinyan became a bit emotional, "I warn you, if you dare touch her, I’ll kill you."

The masked man chuckled, "You really are a hopeless romantic, but does she care? Foolish one, you’re reaping what you sow."

The masked man slowly stood up, suddenly provoked by something unknown, and smashed the wine glass against the wall, the sound of breaking glass echoing clearly in the quiet room...
