n outside. "Xia Tian, let's go meet a friend of mine."Shui Shang Renjia was a restaurant that wasn’t exactly fancy but had its own unique charm; it mainly served seafood and freshwater delicacies such...Chapter 1103: Mr. Ye
In Wish Port City, there was only one beauty left whom Xia Tian could ask Summer to find, and that was Yī Xiǎoyīn. However, when Xia Tian arrived at the villa by the seaside where Yī Xiǎoyīn lived, he found it deserted, with no sign of her being there.
The air still carried traces of Yī Xiǎoyīn's scent, and from these lingering scents, Xia Tian could tell that she had been gone for at least twelve hours, as the scents were almost dissipating.
"Could it be that my YiYi wife has already returned to Beijing" Xia Tian muttered to himself. After some thought, he took out his phone and dialed Yī Xiǎoyīn's number.
The call went through but no one answered. However, Xia Tian was very patient; he called again and again until on the ninth attempt, Yī Xiǎoyīn finally picked up: "What do you want now"
"YiYi wife, why aren't you at home" Xia Tian asked.
"I am at home," Yī Xiǎoyīn replied irritably. She was indeed at home, but it was her home in Beijing where she was sitting in the pavilion of Yiren Pavilion.
Originally, Yī Xiǎoyīn didn't want to pick up Xia Tian's call, but this guy had incredible patience and called ten times in a row. There was nothing for it; she finally answered.
"YiYi wife, have you already returned to Beijing" Xia Tian asked urgently.
"That's right, I went back to Beijing last night," Yī Xiǎoyīn said without trying to hide anything. She was well aware that even if she tried to conceal her whereabouts, it wouldn't be of any use because as the head of Xia Tian's secret group, finding someone wasn't too difficult for him, especially when dealing with someone who was already under the protection of his secret group like herself. Xia Tian only needed a phone call to know exactly where she was.
"Why didn't you tell me where you were going Never mind, I won't blame you. I'll go to the capital city and find you soon."
"I'm hanging up now." Yi Xiaoyin didn't want to continue talking with Xia Tian, but she cursed him in her heart. Was this idiot stupid or sick Did he think that she would forgive him because of his call Would anyone tell someone before leaving if they were sick
After hanging up the phone, Yi Xiaoyin clenched her teeth and swore to herself: "Xia Tian, no matter what you do for me, I won't forgive you. Because I will never forget what you did to me that night!"
"Miss, was it that bastard who called again" Jiu asked.
Yi Xiaoyin nodded but didn't say anything.
"There's someone knocking at the door. Shall I go see who it is" Jiu heard a knock and started walking towards the entrance.
A moment later, Jiu came back.
"Miss, Mr. Yue is here. Do you want to see him" Jiu asked.
Yi Xiaoyin was silent for a while before saying softly: "Please let him in."
"Yes, Miss." Jiu turned around and left. Shortly after, she brought back a man.
This is a fair-faced man, but at first glance, it's impossible to accurately determine his age; he seems to be in his teens, yet the steady demeanor and occasional air of weariness on him make one feel that he must be at least forty or even older.
The man is quite tall, around 1.8 meters, dressed in a dark gray trench coat. His looks are not particularly striking, but his hair is neatly combed, giving off an aura of scholarly elegance, resembling a cultured scholar.
"Miss Yi, how have you been" The gentlemanly man smiles slightly at Yi Xiaoyin and greets her warmly.
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Yao," Yi Xiaoyin bows slightly in return. "Mr. Yao, please take a seat."
Turning to look at Ah Jiu, she continues: "Ah Jiu, please serve tea for Mr. Yao."
"Yes, Miss." Ah Jiu quickly leaves the pavilion and enters the house to prepare tea.
Sitting down across from Yi Xiaoyin, Mr. Yao compliments her: "It has been over a month since we last met; you look even more radiant now!"
"Thank you for your kind words," Yi Xiaoyin says coolly, though deep inside she feels like smashing the tea cup on the table right into Mr. Yao's head. It’s not that she doesn’t enjoy compliments from men, but Mr. Yao's praise has inadvertently opened an old wound.
Yi Xiaoyin knows that lately she has become even more feminine and attractive, her skin better than ever before. Most women would be delighted to discover they've become prettier, yet Yi Xiaoyin feels nothing but resentment because this transformation is entirely due to the summer bastard's doing!
Her femininity and attractiveness have increased precisely because she has transitioned from an innocent maiden to a real woman; it was that despicable man who tormented her for half the night, turning her into a real woman while also making her more attractive.
And her skin looked better, she appeared more energetic than before. This was also the result of Summer's marrow washing for her, even though Summer didn't do anything to her that time, Yi Xiaoyin still couldn't be happy.
"Miss Yi, it seems like you have something on your mind" Although Miss Yi pretended to be calm, she still couldn’t escape Mr. Yue’s sharp observation. He slightly frowned and asked in surprise.
Yi Xiaoyin suddenly woke up from her reverie, then apologized with a smile: "Sorry, I was thinking about something. It's not a big deal though, just that I've just returned from Wangu City and have a lot of things to handle in the capital city, so it’s distracting me."
After a brief pause, Yi Xiaoyin continued: "Mr. Yue, later on, I'll visit your grandfather again. However, I believe his condition shouldn't be too serious for now."
"Miss Yi is mistaken; I didn’t come here because of my grandpa’s issues. He's doing well at the moment, naturally, if Miss Yi could pay him a visit before the year-end, that would be even better. After all, it's almost the New Year, and people can't help but disturb him, which might affect his health." Mr. Yue smiled slightly.
"I heard you encountered some difficulties in Wangu City, yet you never sought my assistance. So I came to ask about your situation and see if there’s anything I could do."
“It's not a big deal, everything has been resolved now.” Yi Xiaoyin gently shook her head: "I'm sorry for troubling Mr. Yue, it’s just that I didn't want to bother you with such trivial matters."
"As long as the problem is solved." Mr. Yue nodded.
“Mr. Yue, please have some tea.” A servant named Jiu came over carrying a cup of tea at this moment.
“Thank you.” Mr. Yue accepted the tea and then continued speaking to Yi Xiaoyin: "Miss Yi, I hope you understand that whether it's big or small matters, I'm not reluctant to help you, and having the opportunity to assist Miss Yi is my honor."
Yi Xiaoyin nodded slightly, her face showing a look of gratitude: “Thank you Mr. Yue, I understand.”
"I see." Mr. Yue put down his teacup and stood up, "Miss Yi, you've just returned to the capital city and need rest. I won't bother you further. I'll take my leave now, hoping for another visit in the future."
“Alright, Ah Jiu, please see Mr. Yue out.” Miss Yi didn’t try to keep him.
The moment Mr. Yue disappeared from her sight, Miss Yi’s expression had returned to normal completely.
"Miss, why don't you seek help from Mr. Yue" Ah Jiu asked in confusion: "If he knew about the bully who tormented you, he wouldn't let that person off easily. Even if you don’t want him to know this incident happened, just tell him that someone is bothering you and he will definitely help you deal with that guy."
"Ah Jiu, to me, what happened back then is a stain on my life. I don't wish to make it public knowledge." Miss Yi said calmly: "Furthermore, given that bastard’s capability, even Mr. Yue wouldn’t necessarily be able to handle him."
"But, Miss, haven't you said that Mr. Yue is an important figure in the capital city Even the four major families don’t want to offend him" Ah Jiu spoke with bewilderment.
"Ah Jiu, there’s a difference between not wanting to offend someone and being afraid of offending them. The four major families may not wish to offend Mr. Yue but that doesn't mean they aren’t scared of doing so. And as far as I know, the current four major capital city families are actually too afraid to offend the bastard," said Miss Yi calmly: "So Ah Jiu, we can’t rely on others for help in this matter. If we want to deal with that bastard, we have to do it ourselves."
"I understand, Miss." Ah Jiu spoke softly. She said she understood but in truth, she still didn't get how relying solely on her and Miss Yi they could possibly handle the bastard They were no match for him!
At this moment, someone knocked at the door again.
Ah Jiu went to the door once more. She returned quickly but held something in her hand now.
"Miss, this is from the Dark Team." Ah Jiu handed Yi Xiaoyin a bag.
Yi Xiaoyin took it and opened it. Inside were two books.
"Female martial arts techniques Drifting Steps" After glancing at the titles of the books, Yi Xiaoyin was puzzled for a moment. What kind of stuff is this
As she was in doubt, her phone rang again. Picking up the phone, she saw that it was the familiar number.
"The books were what you had someone deliver" Instantly, Yi Xiaoyin understood and picked up the call, asking irritably.
"Yes, Wife Yi," Summer's voice came through the phone. "Since you left in a hurry, I didn’t have time to teach you martial arts!"
Yi Xiaoyin immediately hung up the call.
However, Summer called again right away. This made Yi Xiaoyin almost explode with anger. She picked up the phone abruptly and shouted at him: "Are you done being a jerk yet"
On the other end of the line, Summer seemed to have been stunned for a moment before he said innocently, "Wife Yi, I just wanted to tell you that it’s better to start with Drifting Steps."
"Got it. Is there anything else" Yi Xiaoyin asked resentfully.cious and felt that the opponents were too strong to handle; fleeing would be the wisest choice."Don't be afraid, wife. I already know what these four bastards are," Summer comforted Mu Han in his arm...
