Ye Xunhuan originally thought Qiu Ruoxi would introduce him as an employee of her company. When he heard her say he was her husband, he felt a burst of secret delight.

But who would have known that Qu Qiangwei would actually ask Qiu Ruoxi if she had recognized the wrong person?

What’s the meaning of this?

Do I not match Qiu Ruoxi?

Qu Qiangwei shook her head and said softly, "I’m not married yet, so mistaking someone for my husband is currently impossible."

"So you’re saying you might in the future?"

"If I find a twin who looks exactly like him, maybe I could make a mistake."

Ye Xunhuan was momentarily at a loss for words. This woman’s remarks were rather sharp.

At that moment, Qiu Ruoxi suddenly spoke up, "Qiangwei, Cousin, I’m sorry. I didn’t know he... I didn’t know he would come over so suddenly... I..."

Qiu Ruoxi had never dreamed that Ye Xunhuan would come looking for her, let alone in such an uncivilized and violent manner by barging in from the outside.

"It’s alright!"

The man Qiu Ruoxi referred to as Cousin went from an initial look of astonishment to a gentle smile, "Since our brother-in-law is here, please come and sit down!"

As he said this, the man stood up and extended a hand very politely and gentlemanly towards Ye Xunhuan, "Luo Weilian, Ruoxi’s cousin!"

Ye Xunhuan had just heard Qiu Ruoxi call this man Cousin, and he was puzzled.

Does Qiu Ruoxi have a cousin?

Why have I never heard about this before?

In reality, it was normal for Ye Xunhuan not to know about Qiu Ruoxi’s cousin since he had never asked, and Qiu Ruoxi naturally hadn’t mentioned it either. It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that Ye Xunhuan knew nothing about Qiu Ruoxi’s relatives from the Qiu family.

The only people he did know were Qiu Shuihan and Xiahou Yutong.

Even though he wasn’t sure what kind of cousin Luo Weilian was to Qiu Ruoxi, a cousin was a cousin, wasn’t he?

"So it’s Cousin!" Ye Xunhuan gave an embarrassed smile and extended his hand, apologizing, "I’m really sorry about what happened today. I didn’t know Ruoxi was out having a meal with you, I..."

"It’s fine!" Luo Weilian said very magnanimously, "This just proves our old ancestor’s saying, ’No discord, no concord!’

"Yes, yes, ’No discord, no concord.’

"Ruoxi, not telling your cousin about your marriage, are you looking down on your cousin?" Luo Weilian said in feigned anger, "Or are you afraid your cousin wouldn’t come?"

"Not at all." Qiu Ruoxi explained hurriedly, shaking her head, "We haven’t held a wedding ceremony yet, we’ve only registered our marriage!"

"Oh, I see!" Luo Weilian’s face lit up with understanding, "Then make sure you tell your cousin when the time comes, otherwise, your cousin will be upset!"

Just then, a series of noisy footsteps came from outside.

A slim woman with black short hair walked in, her pretty face full of indignation, followed by a group of police officers!

As the woman entered the private room and saw Ye Xunhuan, she was momentarily stunned, and Ye Xunhuan was equally taken aback upon seeing her.

"Wu Mei?" Ye Xunhuan looked at Wu Mei with mild surprise.

Isn’t this woman with the National Security Bureau?

When did she become the head cop?

Wu Mei was indeed with the National Security Bureau, but because of Ye Xunhuan in Jiangzhong City, she took on dual roles. In Jiangzhong City, she was a police officer as well as an agent from the bureau, which made it more convenient for her to act.

And the reason for this was to prevent Ye Xunhuan from causing any trouble.

Wu Mei had become a police officer only a few days ago, and tonight, when it was her turn to be on duty, she received a call that filled her with an unprecedented anger.

"It’s my first day on duty, and you make me respond to an emergency? I can’t wait to see who this reckless jerk is."

But who would have thought that it would be Ye Xunhuan causing a scene at the Hilton Hotel!

Wu Mei felt an unparalleled sense of helplessness in her heart. Why did it have to be this ancestor of a problem!

Qiu Ruoxi was also stunned, her autumn-like eyes widening in shock as she looked at Ye Xunhuan. How did this guy get in here and even managed to alarm the police?

However, it seemed that this guy knew the police officer!

"Are you the one causing trouble at the Hilton Hotel?" Wu Mei stared at Ye Xunhuan and asked.

If it had been any other time, Wu Mei would have definitely ordered the arrest of Ye Xunhuan already.

But now she didn’t dare to. This man was too terrifying, and there were orders from above that unless Ye Xunhuan committed an outrageously heinous act, they were not to bother him!

Ye Xunhuan chuckled sheepishly and said, "Uh, sorry about that, I was here looking for my wife. They wouldn’t tell me, so I just had to barge in...."

Wu Mei’s face was lined with exasperation as she looked at Ye Xunhuan. Don’t you know how to make a phone call? We would have helped you out. Was it necessary to create such a fuss?

Qiu Ruoxi was also speechless. What had gotten into this guy? To find her, he actually made such a huge commotion.

But no matter what, they couldn’t just watch him get into trouble, right?

So, Qiu Ruoxi stepped forward and said to Wu Mei, "Officer, I’m sorry for causing you trouble so late at night. Look, he hasn’t really done anything wrong. Can’t you let him off this time?"

Qiu Ruoxi looked at Wu Mei, feeling that she looked somewhat familiar, as if she had seen her somewhere before, but she couldn’t recall where right then.

Wu Mei glanced at Ye Xunhuan and then at Qiu Ruoxi and sighed with resignation, "Alright, Miss Qiu, please make sure you keep your husband in check next time!"

Qiu Ruoxi didn’t expect Wu Mei to be so agreeable and quickly said, "I will definitely keep him in line. There won’t be a next time!"

After that, Wu Mei didn’t say much more and soon left the scene with her team.

After Wu Mei left, Qiu Ruoxi glared fiercely at Ye Xunhuan, as if to tell him that she would deal with him once they got home!

To this, Ye Xunhuan just chuckled.

Because of Ye Xunhuan’s sudden intrusion, Luo Weilian, who was as gentlemanly as ever, decided to keep Ye Xunhuan there, and the group sat down to eat dinner together!

It was only then that Ye Xunhuan understood that Luo Weilian was indeed Qiu Ruoxi’s cousin, the son of one of her aunt’s, but he had emigrated overseas very early on and had only recently returned.

And Qu Qiangwei was a childhood friend of Qiu Ruoxi’s, with whom she got along well. However, as they grew up, they drifted apart and hadn’t been in contact for a long time. At the same time, Qu Qiangwei had also been Luo Weilian’s childhood playmate!

It could be said that the three of them were childhood friends. Now that Luo Weilian had returned from abroad, they had reunited.

Only their nice dinner had been thoroughly disrupted by Ye Xunhuan.

After the meal, Ye Xunhuan and Luo Weilian’s relationship had grown much closer!

"Cousin, Qiang Wei, it’s getting late, and I should be going back!" Qiu Ruoxi, ever the natural and ladylike, dabbed delicately at the corners of her full, tender lips and said softly, "I’ll treat you two another day!"

Luo Weilian teased with a smile, "Alright, since I’m going to be in Jiangzhong City for a few more days, I’ll wait for you to treat me to dinner. But next time, make sure you bring your husband, okay? Otherwise, if he crashes in again, my poor heart can’t take it!"

At Luo Weilian’s words, Qiu Ruoxi’s cheeks turned a slight shade of red. After nodding in agreement, she hurriedly pulled Ye Xunhuan away from there.

Once Qiu Ruoxi and Ye Xunhuan had left, Qu Qiangwei gently swirled the wine glass in her hand and said softly, "William, she’s married now. You don’t stand a chance anymore!"
