Chapter 1588: Chapter 1588: There’s Something Fishy, Definitely Something Fishy!

"No choice, huh." Xiao Zhiqing giggled, "So just agree with me, since resisting is futile. Why go against yourself?"

Ye Xuan shut his eyes in anguish.

People say feelings develop over time. Whether that’s true or not, Ye Xuan didn’t know. But after spending so much time together, you definitely come to understand someone inside out, like Xiao Zhiqing in front of him. A few months ago, she wouldn’t have been able to have him wrapped around her finger like this.

What a curse, what a curse!

"I promise you, I promise, okay?"

As he uttered these words, Ye Xuan’s back straightened no more, and it was as if he melted, lying feebly on the sofa, staring at the ceiling in indescribable sadness and despair.

If this continues, I’m going to be devoured alive by the devil, Xiao Zhiqing!

That kind of devour!

Seeing Ye Xuan finally agree, Xiao Zhiqing beamed, "A man’s word is his bond; you promised me, no backing out!"

Ye Xuan rolled his eyes weakly.

Ladies and gentlemen, she’s got me, so just don’t push it and I’d be grateful.

Ye Xuan waved his hand, "Just go, I’d like some peace and quiet."

Xiao Zhiqing stuck out her tongue playfully, a bit reluctant, but seeing that today’s achievements were plentiful, she stopped pestering Ye Xuan and turned to leave.

As she reached the door, Xiao Zhiqing seemed to remember something and chirped, "Oh right, come over and have dinner at my place tonight. I’ve been practicing my cooking, and it’s really good now!"

"We’ll see," Ye Xuan responded lifelessly.

"You must come!"

Xiao Zhiqing cheerfully left the office.

Once the door closed, Ye Xuan, sitting on the sofa, gradually wore a twisted, sinister expression.

Want me to grace your cooking with my presence? In your dreams!

Xiao Zhiqing, I’ll remember today’s humiliation!

Hmph!

...

"Searching high and low only to find it with no effort at all, Xiao Zhiqing, you’re truly excellent!"

Returning to her assistant’s desk, Xiao Zhiqing looked back on her recent initiative with excitement and felt it was worth celebrating.

Since falling head over heels for the male god, after chasing him for so long, there had never been a day like today, so fruitful.

Xiao Zhiqing, you’re not far from landing your handsome guy!

"Know your enemy and yourself, and you can win a hundred battles without a single loss!"

In her joy, Xiao Zhiqing also reminded herself to stay calm and not to get carried away.

So, she continued analyzing based on what she had learned about Ye Xuan over this period, ultimately concluding that he definitely wouldn’t willingly come to dine at her place.

But as people say, to capture a man’s heart, you must first capture his stomach. Him not coming just wouldn’t do.

I’ve been practicing hard for so long!

Pondering for a while.

"Got it!"

Xiao Zhiqing’s eyes lit up, and she smiled with confidence and joy.

...

As the sun set, another workday came to a close.

Ye Xuan woke from his nap and realized it was already time to leave. He quickly got up to head to the parking lot and adjusted his mood, shaking off today’s unpleasant events.

Xiao Zhiqing may be a devil, deserving a thousand deaths, but life must go on; you can’t let her keep you down, right?

Thinking of the stunning beauties at home and the adorable daughter, Xiaoyun Duo, greatly improved Ye Xuan’s mood.

Upon reaching the parking lot, Ye Xuan’s face was full of smiles.

Seeing Lin Tong and the others already waiting not far away filled him with warmth.

"Hey..."

Ye Xuan stepped forward to greet them, but halfway through, was suddenly at a loss for words, his expression freezing, dark lines covering his face.

Xiao Zhiqing!

What was Xiao Zhiqing doing here too?

It wasn’t odd for her to be at the parking lot.

After all, it was a shared parking lot for Eastern Group, and Xiao Zhiqing drove every day.

But seeing Xiao Zhiqing mingling joyously with Lin Tong and the others was bizarre.

What’s going on today?

Ye Xuan’s expression turned to stone, and a sense of unease brewed inside.

"There’s something fishy here, definitely fishy!"

With a twitch of his mouth, Ye Xuan hurried over toward the women.

As he approached, everything became clear, everything was audible.

He saw Xiao Zhiqing, dressed in a professional outfit that was quite alluring, holding Lin Tong’s hand while behaving coquettishly, "CEO sister, we agreed, your family must come over to my place tonight!"

"Since we agreed, we’ll definitely come," Lin Tong replied with a graceful smile.

Xiao Zhiqing then looked at Leng Qiuge, "Director Leng, you must come too!"

Leng Qiuge patted her chest heartily, "Of course!"

Xiao Zhiqing looked at Liu Ying.

Before she spoke, Liu Ying chuckled, "Don’t worry, we’ll be there."

Chi Lian didn’t even wait for Xiao Zhiqing to look over and gave a dismissive glance as she said, "We’ll come."

"Then I’ll be waiting for you all!"

Xiao Zhiqing laughed happily and got into her flashy sports car, then drove away.

Ye Xuan was utterly dumbfounded.

What the hell is this?

Xiao Zhiqing, you’ve invited my entire family to your house for dinner; do I have a choice in this?

Ye Xuan rushed to the women in a few steps, asking with a stern face, "What’s going on?"

The women looked at Ye Xuan in surprise, then confusion, "What’s going on about what?"

Ye Xuan, scratching his head in frustration, exclaimed, "Why did you agree to her?"

"Agree to what?" Leng Qiuge asked, puzzled.

Ye Xuan widened his eyes, "To have dinner at her place, of course."

Liu Ying said helplessly, "It’s just dinner, we live next to each other, what’s the difference?"

"It’s different." Ye Xuan was agitated, "It’s absolutely different!"

How could he not be anxious?

It’s truly different!

In the short term, it’s just a meal, but looking at the bigger picture, this is Ye Xuan bowing to evil. Once he bows this time, won’t Xiao Zhiqing just get worse and worse?

Ye Xuan never bowed before, but this time Xiao Zhiqing almost broke him!

Only Lin Tong seemed to see through Ye Xuan’s inner turmoil, glanced at him, and seeing someone approaching, said firmly, "Let’s talk in the car."

Everyone got in the car.

Chi Lian drove, and Ye Xuan sat in the front passenger seat, his face dark and dour as if he had suffered a great injustice.

After a long while.

Ye Xuan, as if finding a glimmer of hope in the darkness, asked with a hint of expectation, "Fine, since you all agreed, then you go, I’ll stay home with Xiaoyun Duo."

"No." Lin Tong stated calmly, "You and Xiaoyun Duo must also come."

Ye Xuan was astonished, "Why?"

"She invited both you and Xiaoyun Duo," Lin Tong replied.

Ye Xuan didn’t even hesitate, "I refuse."

Lin Tong said, "We’ve already accepted on your behalf."

"What the heck?"

Ye Xuan’s eyes bulged, and he looked like he was about to explode.
