At 10 a.m., a group of people finally returned to East Sea City, and they went their separate ways in the city.
Xiaong went to work at the entertainnt news agency, Yang Shan and so mbers of the task force headed to the Tianhe Bay police station, while Wei Xiaosu drove a Humr to drop off Ye Xuan at Eastern Group.
Twenty minutes later, the Humr stopped on the street opposite Eastern Group.
"By the way, Susu, where are you planning to stay these next few days?" Ye Xuan asked, suddenly turning to Wei Xiaosu.
"Of course I’ll stay at a hotel. Where else could I stay? Or... should I move in with you, Brother Xuan?"
Wei Xiaosu’s eyes shifted as she looked expectantly at Ye Xuan.
Compared to staying alone in a hotel, she surely preferred living with Ye Xuan so she could be close to him!
Hearing this, Ye Xuan jumped in shock and quickly shook his head, "No! You can’t stay at my place."
He was living at Lu Miaochan’s house, after all. How could he bring another girl ho? That girl might get jealous, and then things could get ssy.
"Brother Xuan, is it inconvenient?"
Seeing Ye Xuan’s extre reaction, Wei Xiaosu curiously asked.
"This... No, cough, cough!"
Ye Xuan coughed twice and explained, "I currently live in an urban village and only rented a single room, so there isn’t room for two people! So, I can’t let you stay with ."
"What? You live in an urban village, and you rent a place there?"
Wei Xiaosu widened her eyes, looking incredulously at Ye Xuan and said, puzzled, "You’re not lying to , are you? Aren’t you married? How could you be living alone, especially in such a place?"
Everyone knows that urban villages are bona fide slums in the city center, inhabited only by the poor. No wealthy person would live there!
For soone as outstanding as Ye Xuan, who married a CEO of a listed company, living there was unthinkable!
"I certainly didn’t lie to you, I indeed live in an urban village!"
Ye Xuan fabricated solemnly, "My wife can’t stand my poverty, kicked out, and now I’m penniless and can’t afford a fancy apartnt, so I have to live in a place like that! Now, I am utterly broke; even the car was bought on loan."
With a poor look on his face, he sighed, "Too much to ntion, all a flood of bitter tears..."
Saying so, he wiped non-existent tears from the corner of his eyes.
"Please! Stop pretending in front of . If you were poor, would you have taken to such a fancy place for coffee yesterday? If I rember correctly, you paid with a Citibank black credit card. Don’t tell a poor person like you can afford a Citibank black card!"
Wei Xiaosu looked disdainful, not believing a word he said.
A sly gleam crossed her eyes, she cooed, "You’re choosing to live in the urban village for a reason, sothing there must allure you to voluntarily stay! There are only two possible factors, either because the environnt is good or there are many beautiful won! An environnt factor is unlikely, as the environnt of the urban village couldn’t possibly compare to that of a high-end residential area, so..."
"I guess it’s because of the beautiful won, and knowing you as I do, only won could interest you! It goes without saying, Brother Xuan, you’re definitely living in a poor urban village to flirt with won! How about that, did I guess right?"
Ye Xuan: "..."
Looking at Wei Xiaosu with an expression that virtually said ’spot on’, Ye Xuan was dumbfounded.
Damn it! Is this girl so sort of worm in my stomach; how did she guess that? Do I not have any privacy anymore?
However, Ye Xuan naturally wouldn’t admit it, and righteously said, "That’s not true! Am I that sort of person? To ditch my integrity just to flirt with won, I would never do such a thing!"
He paused, then added, "I live in an urban village rely to experience the life of common folks; don’t think otherwise."
"Yeah right! Why don’t I believe that at all?"
Wei Xiaosu rolled her eyes and said with a pout,
"Brother Xuan, that line might work on naive little girls, but don’t try it on ! Do I not know you? The fact that you even brought it up makes even more certain that there’s a gorgeous woman over there, and you’ve probably already won her over, haven’t you?"
Damn!
This girl was getting sharper, no longer as gullible as she used to be when she was little.
"Cough cough... Susu, I told you there’s nothing, really. Stop guessing!"
Ye Xuan would never admit it, especially since it would be trouble if his wife heard about this.
After saying this, he didn’t plan to stay any longer. He unbuckled his seatbelt, opened the car door, dropped a comnt, and jumped out,
"Alright, I need to get back to work. You head to the hotel, and co find when you’re free!"
Before the sound of his words faded, he hurriedly left.
"Hmph, what a coward! All lust, no courage."
Wei Xiaosu pursed her lips, murmured to herself, then started the car and drove away from Eastern Group.
At the sa ti, Ye Xuan had already entered the company and took the elevator to Lin Tong’s office, arriving at the office door in three minutes.
However, what surprised Ye Xuan was that, besides Lin Tong, there was another person in the office—it was Su Yumo!
Moreover, next to Lin Tong’s office, another office had appeared, with a ’Secretary General’ sign hanging on the door, and an office desk inside.
At that mont, Su Yumo was sitting at this desk, organizing so things.
"Ah, Manager Su has also moved her office here?" Ye Xuan walked in and curiously asked Lin Tong.
"Not yet, just moved her stuff here to get accustod to the environnt. We have to wait for the HR departnt to complete the handover before she officially starts," explained Lin Tong.
By then, Su Yumo had finished organizing her things and stood up, saying, "Director Lin, I’m going to the HR departnt now to hand over the work."
After a brief greeting, she turned and walked towards the door.
A thought struck Ye Xuan, and he quickly followed her out of the office, calling out, "Manager Su, there’s sothing I want to tell you!"
"What is it?"
"The Ice Demon has already died—this should be good news for you!" Ye Xuan said.
What?
Hearing this, Yumo’s delicate body shuddered, and she asked in a startled voice, "How... How did he die?"
"Shot by the police, a bullet straight to the heart!"
Ye Xuan smiled faintly and said, "Of course, I had a hand in it. I inflicted severe injuries on him first, which allowed the police to finish him off."
Upon hearing this, Yumo was silent for a mont before she looked seriously at Ye Xuan and gratefully said, "Ye Xuan, thank you!"
"Hehe, why should we even speak of thanks between us? With that old guy dead, you’ve regained your freedom and no longer need to live in fear," Ye Xuan chuckled.
"Yeah, no more living in constant fear; I can finally lead a normal life."
Su Yumo sighed, her pretty face breaking into a sweet smile.
All this ti, the shadow that had lingered in her heart finally dissipated completely, leaving her feeling indescribably relieved!
