52 -052: The Arrival of the Father-in-Law and Mother-in-Law
Early in the morning, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the horizon from east to west, Ye Xunhuan woke up naturally, just as he always did, without the need for an alarm.
Waking up early had become a habit for Ye Xunhuan.
It was a habit he had formed during his days when he wielded power in Europe’s underground world.
After all, the underworld was a dog-eat-dog place where the slightest negligence could result in a death without a place to be buried, so Ye Xunhuan had to keep every nerve in his body on edge.
Even though he had now returned to the bustling city life, no longer living on the knife’s edge or dealing with the reaper, the habits he had formed over the years were not something that could simply be changed at will.
After getting dressed, he went to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face, then walked into the living room, where the sight of the simple breakfast and the steaming millet porridge on the table brought a faint smile to his lips.
Upon seeing Ye Xunhuan, Wang Ma greeted him with a smile, “Son-in-law, quickly come and eat.”
Ye Xunhuan made no fuss, walking straight to the dining table and picked up the food Wang Ma had served for him, “Wang Ma, where’s Ruoxi?”
“Miss has already gone to work!”
Ye Xunhuan casually oh’d and did not ask any further.
He had long been accustomed to Qiu Ruoxi, a woman who puts work first and knew only to go to the office, so he found nothing unusual.
After breakfast, Ye Xunhuan too left the villa and headed to the Imperial Map Company.
Arriving at the Imperial Map Company, Ye Xunhuan saw Tang Yurou sitting listlessly at her office desk, lost in thought, and she didn’t even notice Ye Xunhuan walking in.
When Ye Xunhuan reached Tang Yurou’s side, he asked, “What are you thinking about?”
Startled by Ye Xunhuan’s words, Tang Yurou jumped in surprise.
On seeing it was Ye Xunhuan, she let out a sigh of relief, “You scared me to death, when did you get here, without making a sound!”
“You were the one lost in thought!” Ye Xunhuan leaned on the edge of the desk, looking at Tang Yurou and said, “What’s on your mind that has you so engrossed?”
With that question from Ye Xunhuan, Tang Yurou suddenly became excited, “Xunhuan, what do you think Xiaojiu is doing now, has he gotten out of the police station?”
Last night, Tang Yurou had not slept well after returning home, tossing and turning, wondering if Xiaojiu had gotten into any trouble.
Hearing Tang Yurou’s words, Ye Xunhuan immediately knew what the girl was thinking.
“He got out last night and has already called me!”
As he spoke, a faint smile played across Ye Xunhuan’s lips.
He hadn’t expected that the person Xiaojiu hit last night was quite influential, a young master from the north with a considerable background.
However, Ye Xunhuan didn’t care in the slightest; as long as Ji Yunlin knew his place, he would act as if nothing had happened.
But if Ji Yunlin didn’t know better, he wouldn’t mind spending some time personally playing with Ji Yunlin!
“Really?” Tang Yurou exclaimed with sudden joy.
“Of course, it’s true!” Ye Xunhuan said indifferently, “Don’t believe me?
I’ll call him and you can chat with him, how about that…?”
“No, no need!” Tang Yurou hurriedly waved her hands.
Though she was worried about Xiaojiu, if she actually had to speak to him, she really didn’t know what she would say!
“It’s good that he’s okay!”
“Rest assured, he’s fine.
In the entire Jiangzhong City, you might worry about anyone else, but not Xiao Jiu—he’s the last person you need to worry about.”
Having learned that Xiao Jiu was all right, Tang Yurou fully relaxed and started to work seriously.
Even though the Oversight Department was a newly established unit and didn’t have many employees, it was incredibly busy.
After all, its role was to monitor the task assignments of everyone in the Huangtu Group, from department managers to general staff, in addition to handling a variety of miscellaneous matters.
Throughout the whole afternoon, Tang Yurou was very busy—either sorting data or reviewing it.
On the other hand, Ye Xunhuan was quite leisurely, even going so far as to lie down on the sofa and fall asleep.
As for this, Tang Yurou didn’t say anything but simply let Ye Xunhuan be.
After lunch, just as Ye Xunhuan and Tang Yurou had returned to the office, Ye Xunhuan’s phone rang.
The call was from Qiu Ruoxi—god knows what she was thinking—actually asking Ye Xunhuan to come to her again.
Although Ye Xunhuan really didn’t want to go see Qiu Ruoxi, he had no choice but to do so.
Since the doors to Qiu Ruoxi’s office were wide open, as soon as Ye Xunhuan arrived at the entrance, he saw the graceful figure sitting properly at her desk.
Her flawless face, frosty demeanor, and the aura of a noble goddess made every man who wanted to approach her feel utterly unworthy.
Looking at Qiu Ruoxi, so close, Ye Xunhuan sighed deeply.
Even now, he still found it hard to believe that this angelic woman, who could drive countless men in Jiangzhong City to crazy infatuation, was actually his wife—though in name only.
Such a woman was truly a gift from heaven, a masterpiece of God, capable of driving any man who saw her crazy and provoking envy in other women.
She was like the goddess Xuannv, looking down upon all beings from the heavens.
And there he was, Ye Xunhuan, like a toad squatting at the bottom of a stinking dry well, looking upward and daydreaming, not even worthy to be considered a toad in her presence.
In the face of such a woman, any man of excellence would feel inferior, just as Ye Xunhuan did every time he saw Qiu Ruoxi.
Being her man came with immense pressure, but he had no choice but to act as if nothing was bothering him.
Shortly thereafter, as if sensing someone’s gaze upon her, Qiu Ruoxi slowly put down the documents she had in her hands and looked up towards the door.
Suddenly, Ye Xunhuan’s figure appeared in her field of vision, and her elegant eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Upon seeing Qiu Ruoxi look up, Ye Xunhuan walked unsteadily into her office and casually closed the door behind him.
Once inside, Ye Xunhuan sat on the floor as if he were in his own home and with his legs crossed, he said, “Wife, do you need something from me, or is it that you haven’t seen me since last night and miss me a bit?”
Qiu Ruoxi glanced at Ye Xunhuan with disdain, “I’m telling you for the last time, I hope you can pay attention to the impression you give off.
This is a company…”
“Not a home!” Ye Xunhuan immediately took over the sentence, and lit a cigarette for himself.
Seeing this, Qiu Ruoxi was so annoyed that she itched with frustration.
She didn’t know how many times she had repeated that same phrase in the last few days, but the bastard never listened.
Moreover, every time he came to her office, he smoked.
Prior to Ye Xunhuan’s arrival, nobody had ever dared to smoke in her office.
He was the first and only one to do so.
Looking at Ye Xunhuan, who appeared completely indifferent, Qiu Ruoxi’s face turned ashen.
She took a deep breath, striving to maintain a semblance of calm in her heart.
“My parents will arrive at the airport at three o’clock this afternoon.” Qiu Ruoxi said coldly, “You’ll accompany me to pick them up!”
