Just as Ye Xunhuan and Xu Mingzhe were chatting and laughing, a young woman with fair skin and beautiful looks suddenly walked over.
The woman was wearing a casual women’s jacket on top, with a tight-fitting white long shirt underneath. Her chest made the white shirt bulge, giving an impressive appearance that seemed to call attention.
She wore a pair of tight pants that perfectly showcased her round hips, with a sharp fit throughout, and her legs appeared long and slender. A pair of glaring black high heels on her feet made her look very tall and elegant.
When the woman reached Xu Mingzhe’s side, she directly wrapped her arm around his and, with a sweet smile on her face, said: "Ming Zhe, who are these two?"
"Shanshan, let me introduce you. This is Miss Qiu Ruoxi, the president of Huangtu Group, and this is Miss Qiu’s husband, Ye Xunhuan!" Xu Mingzhe introduced softly.
"Ye Shao, Miss Qiu, this is my fiancée, Yuan Shanshan!"
Upon hearing Xu Mingzhe’s introduction, both Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi unexpectedly showed a look of surprise on their faces.
Did Xu Mingzhe have a fiancée?
Regarding this matter, both Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi truly didn’t know and hadn’t heard of it before.
"Xu Shao is engaged?"
"Yes!" Xu Mingzhe nodded: "I’m not getting any younger, and my parents have been urging me, so I decided once I met the right person!"
"Congratulations to Xu Shao then!" Ye Xunhuan glanced at Yuan Shanshan: "When you get married, be sure to let me know!"
"Definitely, Ye Shao, you must give me this honor and come!"
After exchanging a few pleasantries with Xu Mingzhe, they headed towards the restaurant.
Since Xu Mingzhe had already booked a private room, he took Yuan Shanshan there directly. However, before going to the private room, Xu Mingzhe invited Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi to join them, but Ye Xunhuan declined.
Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi didn’t opt for a private room; instead, they found a spot in the lobby to sit down.
"Wife, do you know this Yuan Shanshan?"
"No, I don’t!" Qiu Ruoxi gently shook her head: "But her speech and demeanor seem nice, and from my understanding of Xu Mingzhe, he’d rather marry an unattractive woman than a mere vase!"
Qiu Ruoxi wasn’t unfamiliar with Xu Mingzhe; she knew him somewhat well.
Other men might focus on looks and figure, but not Xu Mingzhe. He valued capability. After all, for him, finding attractive women was easy, but finding a competent woman wasn’t as simple.
"I thought this guy hadn’t given up on you yet!" Ye Xunhuan said lightly: "But now I’m relieved!"
Qiu Ruoxi rolled her eyes at Ye Xunhuan: "I think I’m the one uneasy about you!"
Ye Xunhuan knew there was an undertone in Qiu Ruoxi’s words, so he chuckled dryly twice and didn’t say anything further.
Meanwhile, after Xu Mingzhe and Yuan Shanshan sat down in the upstairs private room, Yuan Shanshan said: "That Ye Xunhuan, is he Qin Fenghuang’s son?"
Xu Mingzhe nodded: "That’s right, it’s him!"
"He looks pretty good." Yuan Shanshan commented casually: "But I wonder if he has his mother’s capabilities!"
Qin Fenghuang was a legend in the business world, a queen of commerce, adored by countless businesspeople, and a figure many big shots sought to surpass.
"He is now even more capable than his mother!"
"I know what you’re saying, but in my opinion, it’s all just reckless behavior!" Yuan Shanshan sneered disdainfully: "The Yan family is significant, but he has the Qin family behind him. When the tigers fight, one is bound to be wounded!"
"The fall of the Yan family was inevitable, not accidental."
Xu Mingzhe smiled, then fished out a cigarette, lit it, and took a gentle puff before slowly speaking: "He’s no hothead. From what I know about him, he is brave and resourceful, and those who play mind games with him usually end up badly!"
"Fortunately, I am wise and know when to advance and retreat, or else I might have already turned into a pile of bones!"
Xu Mingzhe’s words weren’t self-deprecating while praising Ye Xunhuan; they were facts!
If he had really done some petty maneuvers behind the scenes, Xu Mingzhe would undoubtedly be a pile of bones by now, as Ye Xunhuan would not allow a dangerous existence.
"That’s because you haven’t met me. Now that you’ve met me, you don’t need to fear him!" Yuan Shanshan said proudly: "He appears to be in the spotlight now, but it’s only on the surface. Underneath, the undercurrents have long been surging. He doesn’t have much time left to jump around!"
With that, Yuan Shanshan sighed slightly: "It’s just a pity for such a lovely woman as Qiu Ruoxi, who at such a young age, has to live like a widow!"
Xu Mingzhe was taken aback, but thinking about Yuan Shanshan’s background, he couldn’t help but ask: "Shanshan, do you know something?"
Yuan Shanshan smiled and nodded: "I only found out recently, just because of things that have happened!"
"What happened?"
"He killed a significant figure!" Yuan Shanshan told Xu Mingzhe directly: "Now he has angered that figure’s family, and they’re sending out their experts, wanting to eliminate him!"
"At the same time, there are others waiting for a chance. Given the opportunity, they will, like a fierce tiger, swallow Ye Xunhuan whole without leaving any bones!"
Xu Mingzhe didn’t question Yuan Shanshan’s words because he knew Yuan Shanshan’s background and also knew she couldn’t lie to him.
Now, with Yuan Shanshan saying that, there must be some basis for it.
For a moment, Xu Mingzhe fell into silence.
After a brief pause, Xu Mingzhe spoke again: "Shanshan, will he not be able to pass this danger?"
"I don’t know. Their level is beyond my reach!" Yuan Shanshan shrugged helplessly: "But I guess it’s precarious. The opponents are formidable, each harder to deal with than the last!"
"Moreover, I’ve heard my father say that there are just too many people who want Ye Xunhuan dead!"
"Why do so many people want him dead?"
"He possesses something he shouldn’t have!" Yuan Shanshan said heavily: "As long as that thing is in his hands for even one day, the killing will never cease!"
"Others will never let him off, even if he found the thing left by that person, they would still hunt him down from all sides!"
Xu Mingzhe couldn’t help but inhale sharply: "What kind of thing is it that so many people care about?"
This time, Yuan Shanshan didn’t immediately answer Xu Mingzhe but began to scrutinize him back and forth.
"If it’s inconvenient for you to say, forget it!"
"Taiji Seal!" Yuan Shanshan said word by word: "An incredibly mysterious object!"
