"Are you sure she’s just a friend, not a girlfriend or a little lover?" Qin Rumeng continued to ask.

Hearing Qin Rumeng persist in asking this, Tang Yurou’s heart was filled with nervousness and unease.

Because she didn’t know who was on the other end of the phone, and Qin Rumeng’s voice was very pleasant, plus she started by calling Ye Xunhuan a little rascal.

That kind of address is not something an ordinary woman would use for a man.

"Truly... truly not!"

"Then why are you holding his phone while he’s in the bathroom?" Qin Rumeng asked insistently.

"He... he just left it here, so I..."

"He’s at your place?"

"Mhm!"

"So that means you two are quite close, huh? If you’re not his girlfriend, then you must be his little lover," Qin Rumeng said brashly, "Don’t worry, I’m not his wife. What exactly is your relationship with him?"

"Did he sleep with you?" Qin Rumeng asked shockingly, "Did he use protection? How is his stamina..."

Qin Rumeng came across as very nosy and gossipy!

Tang Yurou was mortified, still unsure of who the person on the other end was.

Listening to Qin Rumeng’s brazen words, Tang Yurou’s cheeks instantly turned a bright red, like a ripe peach that would ooze juice at the slightest pinch!

She appeared incredibly shy and enticing.

Tang Yurou had never in her life encountered such a forthright woman, who first asked who she was, and now was even inquiring whether she’d slept with Ye Xunhuan!

How was she, a shy and sensitive girl, supposed to answer such questions?

Right at that moment, Ye Xunhuan walked out of the bathroom.

Seeing Ye Xunhuan come out, Tang Yurou hurriedly handed the phone to him, "Xunhuan, your phone..."

Ye Xunhuan looked puzzled at the blushing Tang Yurou. What was this situation?

How did accepting a phone call turn her face red?

The next moment, Ye Xunhuan seemed to realize something as he glanced at the caller ID and the corner of his mouth twitched fiercely.

Although he hadn’t saved Qin Rumeng’s number, that number was deeply etched into his mind.

When he saw that it was Qin Rumeng’s call, Ye Xunhuan finally understood why Tang Yurou had turned into this state.

Given his strong-willed aunt’s encounter with the very shy Tang Yurou, it would be really strange if she hadn’t pressed Tang Yurou into an awkward position in just a few sentences.

"Hello..."

"You... hey, little rascal, are you out of the bathroom now?"

"If I didn’t come out, you’d probably have forced someone to crawl into a hole, wouldn’t you?" Ye Xunhuan asked speechlessly, "What did you talk to her about?"

"Worried about your little lover?"

"I..."

"Didn’t chat about much, just asked whether you two had slept together, if you used protection, how’s your stamina..."

Three black lines immediately appeared on Ye Xunhuan’s forehead.

At that moment, he was utterly at a loss for words with his aunt.

You’re a senior relative, you think it’s appropriate to ask your nephew these kinds of questions?

"Do you know you’re being very lewd?" said Ye Xunhuan helplessly, "Really low!"

"My lowliness is well-known, no need for you to point it out."

Facing such a shameless Qin Rumeng, even Ye Xunhuan, who prided himself on having thick skin, had to admit defeat.

His aunt was completely without shame or decency.

"You still haven’t told me, who is that girl to you?" Qin Rumeng asked with great curiosity, "Did anything happen between you two?"

"Auntie, do you think it’s appropriate for you to ask these questions?"

"How is it inappropriate!" Qin Rumeng said very seriously, "With my sister gone, I am your mother. What’s wrong with a mother asking such questions?"

"You my mom?" Ye Xunhuan scoffed, "Did you give birth to me right after you were born?"

"You son of a bitch, how dare you talk to your aunt like that?" Qin Rumeng feigned anger, "Disrespectful!"

No sooner had her voice faded than Qin Rumeng’s tone changed, "Spill it, tell me about you and that girl!"

"Auntie, there’s really nothing between us..."

"Do you believe I would storm over to Jiangzhong City right now?"

"I believe, believe!" Ye Xunhuan hurriedly said, "But you’re so busy, better not come!"

"Then why aren’t you updating me promptly?"

"She’s just a friend of mine!"

"What kind of friend?"

"A female friend!"

"Do you fancy her or not?"

"No..."

"Bullshit!" Qin Rumeng immediately blurted out a curse, "Who do you think you’re fooling? Don’t I know exactly what kind of person you are?"

"If you know me so well, why ask?"

Qin Rumeng giggled, "Could it be because of this chick that you want to divorce Qiu Ruoxi?"

"How did you know she isn’t Qiu..."

Mid-sentence, Ye Xunhuan suddenly realized something and quickly changed his tune, lowering his voice, "How did you know she isn’t Qiu Ruoxi?"

"I’ve seen Qiu Ruoxi’s picture, though I haven’t met her in person, but as a businesswoman, how could she get nervous just because of what I said, even her speech is quick and sharp?"

Despite Qin Rumeng’s boisterous and fierce demeanor, she was actually as perceptive as a needle at heart.

From the subtle change in the voice on the phone, she had directly deduced that Tang Yurou was not Qiu Ruoxi.

"Fine!"

"What’s this girl’s name, is she pretty?" Qin Rumeng asked nosily, "Let me tell you, finding someone pretty is good for the next generation’s genes!"

"Look at what a good job you did on your own transformation!"

Ye Xunhuan’s face went completely dark. Was this meant to be a compliment or an insult?

"Auntie, do you actually need something from me or not?"

"Almost forgot the main point, how’s your divorce going?" Qin Rumeng asked with concern, "If you’ve got it sorted, then get back here quick. I’ll set you up with..."

"Seems like I don’t need to introduce anyone since you’ve found someone again."

"It didn’t go through!"

"What’s the situation?"

"She refused!"

"Good for her, she’s finally come to her senses. Otherwise, I’d make her cry with nowhere to turn," Qin Rumeng huffed, "But who is that girl anyway!"

"Auntie, I really need to go..."

"If you dare hang up on me, I’ll come find you right now!"

"You win, her name is Tang Yurou!"

"What does she do?"

"Employee at Huangtu Group!"

"Alright, going for the low-hanging fruit now, huh? But it makes sense, who’d eat the grass far away when there’s some right by the nest? That’s just tiring!"

"I really have to go, bye!"

As soon as the words were out, Ye Xunhuan hastily hung up the phone.

After hanging up, Ye Xunhuan let out a long sigh of relief. Facing such an aunt, he was simply no match—she was too fierce.

Within a villa in the capital, Qin Rumeng sat on the couch barefoot, curled up, listening to the busy tone from the phone, huffing, "That bastard, actually hanging up on me, just wait till I see you, I’ll show you!"

As the words fell, Qin Rumeng picked up her phone again and dialed a number, "Get me information on a girl in Jiangzhong City named Tang Yurou!"

She had to vet for Ye Xunhuan and see whether or not this girl could step through their family’s door.
