Chapter 72

That evening, at the dining table, only Ye Tianchen, Ye Qianwen, and Luo Yan were eating. As for Qi Ruxue, due to shyness, she hid in her bedroom and did not come out. Both Luo Yan and Ye Qianwen had gone in to check, and found that Qi Ruxue was already sleeping on the bed.

At this moment, Qi Ruxue, who was still in bed, had a red face. Even though several hours had passed, it was just a small kiss, which many people in modern times would consider nothing significant, or even not worth mentioning. However, it made Qi Ruxue's heart beat wildly, as it was her first kiss, and it had been taken by Ye Tianchen. How could she not feel embarrassed and even a bit angry?

Qi Ruxue had grown up abroad and only returned to China after completing her studies this year. The engagement with Ye Tianchen was decided by the family without her consent. This was why she refused to break off the engagement when they met at the Haiwang Group, not because she fell in love with Ye Tianchen at first sight, but because she did not want to be bound by the family and wanted to prove that she could make her own decisions and strive for her own lifelong happiness.

While abroad, many handsome men, even noble sons, pursued her, but none of them could win her heart. These men either relied on their family background, acting arrogantly, or only cared about her beauty, wanting to sleep with her. For a girl, especially a beautiful one, this was not something to be happy about, but rather a form of insult. This was one of the reasons why Qi Ruxue returned to China.

Because of those pursuing her, Qi Ruxue found none of them appealing. Therefore, up until now, no one had ever had close contact with her, not even a kiss or a hand-hold. She never imagined that her first kiss would be taken by Ye Tianchen, the super bad guy, which was truly a mix of laughter and tears.

"Ye Tianchen, you big bad guy, big pervert, and dead scoundrel! I, Qi Ruxue, will never let you off easily. How dare you take away my first kiss? I will make you pay a heavy price!" Qi Ruxue said, grinding her little fangs in anger.

Ye Tianchen was eating in the hall on the first floor when he suddenly felt his ears burning. He looked up at the second floor, thinking that it must be Qi Ruxue cursing him. He originally wanted to secretly activate his special ability to sense energy, but decided against it at home, thinking it was not worth it and did not want to argue with Qi Ruxue, the wild girl.

"Brother, what's wrong? Are you afraid that Ruxue sister will be hungry and want to bring her food?" Ye Qianwen saw her brother Ye Tianchen looking up at the second floor and teased him.

"You little brat, instead of studying properly, why do you always meddle in these things? Tell me, are you dating someone at school? Confess, or once I and Mom find out, you'll be in trouble." Ye Tianchen said with a mischievous smile.

"Wh-which one? I always go to school and come back on time. It's not like you, who comes home late for several nights." Ye Qianwen's face turned red, and she quickly pouted and said.

"Is that so? Is it really or not? I'll ask your school tomorrow to find out..." Ye Tianchen said with a wicked smile.

"Mom, look, Brother is bullying me!" Ye Qianwen, not expecting her brother to use this tactic, quickly sought help from her mother.

Seeing her sister finally show fear, Ye Tianchen laughed even harder and said, "No way, it seems like you're the one bullying me. Now you're even asking Mom for help, so there must be something going on at your school."

"No, we were talking about you and Ruxue sister, and you changed the topic to me. That's bullying, humph, I won't talk to you anymore!" Ye Qianwen pouted and turned her head away.

"Is that so? I'm very interested in what's going on at your school..." Ye Tianchen continued with a wicked smile.

"Mom, look, Brother..." Ye Qianwen's face turned a bit red, and she anxiously pulled her mother Luo Yan's arm.

"Alright, alright, Tianchen, I've been wanting to ask you. Do you have any feelings for Ruxue? If you do, go after her. Ruxue is a good girl, don't think too much. If you don't, say it clearly. Ruxue living in our house is not a good solution, especially since she is an unmarried girl. If the Qi family comes to ask for her, it will be difficult to explain," Luo Yan said seriously.

"No, definitely not, Mom. You're asking the right question. I've already told you and my sister that I have no feelings for Qi Ruxue. She's just deceiving you. She doesn't want to go home or get engaged to the Qin family, which is why she's staying at our house!" Ye Tianchen quickly said when he saw his mother asking seriously.

Luo Yan thought for a moment. To be honest, deep down, she really hoped that Qi Ruxue could become her daughter-in-law. Through their interactions, Luo Yan found that Qi Ruxue did not have the airs of a rich girl. She was very casual in both her actions and conversations and was a very meticulous girl, capable of both managing a household and cooking. Plus, she was very beautiful, making her a rare good girl.

However, during this time, Luo Yan also noticed that her son Ye Tianchen seemed to have no feelings for Qi Ruxue, which made her somewhat doubtful.

If Qi Ruxue were from an ordinary family, things would be easier to handle, but she was the daughter of the Qi family, who had once been engaged to her son Ye Tianchen and then broke off the engagement. Now she was living in their house, making the situation increasingly complex and unclear. The Qi family was much more influential than the Ye family. If something happened to Qi Ruxue while she was living with the Ye family, damaging her reputation, the Qi family would not let it go, potentially causing a major disaster.

Therefore, after much thought and discussion with her husband Ye Hong, Luo Yan decided to ask her son Ye Tianchen clearly. If he really liked her, she would fully support him. If he didn't, she would have Qi Ruxue return home to avoid rumors and conflicts between the Qi and Ye families.

"If that's the case, you should go and talk to Ruxue and ask her to go home. Don't tarnish her reputation," Luo Yan said.

"Mom, you go. I don't want to deal with that wild woman anymore!" Ye Tianchen still felt the burning pain on his left cheek from the slap Qi Ruxue had given him.

"Mom can't do it either. After all, she is a guest, and it's hard to ask her to leave," Luo Yan said, also feeling a bit awkward.

At this moment, Ye Qianwen, who had been listening, smiled wickedly and asked her brother, "Brother, do you really want Ruxue sister to leave?"

"Of course, do you have any good ideas?" Ye Tianchen quickly asked.

"Hehe, it depends on your performance..." Ye Qianwen extended her right hand, making a gesture for money and said with a smile.

Ye Tianchen looked at his sister Ye Qianwen in frustration and said, "Are you kidding? Even your own brother?"

"This is my hard-earned money. If you don't want to listen, fine," Ye Qianwen said playfully.

With no other choice, Ye Tianchen pulled out a bill from his pocket and slapped it into his sister Ye Qianwen's hand, saying, "Speak up, I'm afraid you won't have any good ideas after taking the money."

Ye Qianwen was initially happy to have extorted money from her brother, but when she saw the amount on the bill, she almost cried. It was just fifty cents. She wasn't a beggar, and her brother was being too stingy.

"Are you serious? Fifty cents? Brother, you're the chairman of Haiwang Group, with assets worth hundreds of millions. Isn't it embarrassing to give fifty cents?" Ye Qianwen said, rolling her eyes at her brother.

"Take it or leave it. Maybe your idea isn't even worth fifty cents," Ye Tianchen said, using a provocation tactic.

"Who said I don't have good ideas? If my idea is good, will you give me two hundred?" Ye Qianwen pouted and said.

"Sure," Ye Tianchen agreed readily.

"Since neither you nor Mom can talk to Ruxue sister, I'll go. I'm her close friend, and we're the same age, so it's easier for me to talk to her about these things," Ye Qianwen said proudly.

"That's a good idea. Qianwen can first feel out Ruxue's thoughts, ask her what she wants to do, and if there's an opportunity, hint at these issues to her. We can't just kick her out," Luo Yan nodded and said.

"Brother, as long as you can make Qi Ruxue leave our house, I'll give you two hundred!" Ye Tianchen said seriously.

"Brother, you're cheating. You said you'd give me two hundred if I had a good idea," Ye Qianwen quickly said, seeing her brother trying to back out.

"That's what I said. If you do it, I'll reward you with two hundred. Goodbye, good night!"

Ye Tianchen finished speaking and, before his sister could get angry, ran up to the second floor and closed the door to his bedroom. He had to go to the airport early the next morning. He originally wanted to tell his mother and sister that he would be out of the country for a few days, but now he could just call them later.

In his bedroom, Ye Tianchen sat cross-legged and began to sense the tiny bits of special energy in his body. Since his special ability had reached the King level, he had not practiced it well. This time, he was going to M country, where there was a special agent team with many experts. He might encounter fierce and bloody battles, and his strength needed to be strong. Moreover, he was looking forward to the battle with the Gray Wolf.
