After sensing the inquiry in Song Yan’s eyes, Ye Xunhuan pondered for a while before saying, "If I return, isn’t he afraid that the Qin family will be thrown into chaos?"

"What’s there to be chaotic about!" Song Yan said softly, "You’re going home; who would dare to stop you?"

"If he’s not afraid, then I’ll go back!"

When Ye Xunhuan agreed to visit the Qin family in the capital for the Mid-Autumn Festival, Song Yan’s face was filled with unconcealable joy.

While asking Ye Xunhuan this question, Song Yan’s heart was filled with trepidation and unease.

He feared Ye Xunhuan would refuse, feared he wouldn’t return!

Otherwise, Qin Pojun would not have asked Song Yan to inquire about Ye Xunhuan’s opinion.

"If the old master knows you’re willing to return and accompany him for Mid-Autumn, he will be so happy that he won’t be able to stop smiling!"

Ye Xunhuan smiled but did not say anything.

However, this smile was filled with bitterness!

It wasn’t long before Wang’s mother had prepared the meal and called Qiu Ruoxi and the other two to eat.

Because of Song Yan’s visit today, Wang’s mother had not planned to sit at the table and eat with her daughter, Wang Zilin!

After all, there was Song Yan, and they, a mother and daughter, were merely servants; it was not their place to sit at the table!

However, Ye Xunhuan strongly insisted that Wang’s mother and Wang Zilin sit down and eat together.

For Song Yan, he naturally had no objections, since strictly speaking, he was also a servant!

Wang’s mother could not refuse Ye Xunhuan, so she reluctantly sat down at the dining table with Wang Zilin to eat.

At the dining table, Ye Xunhuan and Song Yan occasionally sipped their wine, chatting about everything under the sun!

This made the atmosphere at the table very harmonious!

"Xunhuan, can you tell me what your current strength really is?" Song Yan asked Ye Xunhuan after taking a sip of wine.

"Extreme Heavens!" Ye Xunhuan did not hide anything and frankly told Song Yan!

Upon hearing the words ’Extreme Heavens,’ Song Yan couldn’t help but inhale sharply.

As Song Yan knew, martial artists who had reached the realm of Extreme Heavens were almost always well past their prime, yet Ye Xunhuan was only in his twenties and had already reached the realm of Extreme Heavens, truly superior to all!

Even Ye Xunhuan might break through that legendary realm!

After all, he was still so young, with boundless potential; if Ye Xunhuan really stepped into that realm, then he would truly be invincible under heaven, revered by all.

Just the thought of it filled Song Yan’s face with excitement, even envisioning Ye Xunhuan standing at the pinnacle, with a wave of his hand commanding reverence from all directions!

But then, Song Yan’s excited expression slowly turned somewhat desolate.

It seemed like Ye Xunhuan had little desire for power!

However, Song Yan still gave Ye Xunhuan a thumbs up, "Well done, if Miss Fenghuang knew that at such a young age you were this powerful, she would laugh out loud even in the netherworld!"

"I have always been my mother’s pride!" Ye Xunhuan declared emphatically.

Because he had no father, and because Qin Fenghuang had not provided a life of luxury but rather an ordinary lifestyle, Ye Xunhuan was much more sensible than his peers!

Qin Fenghuang hardly needed to worry about anything for him.

"Indeed, you have always been Miss Fenghuang’s pride!" Song Yan echoed sincerely, "Xunhuan, have you ever thought about developing in the capital?"

"No, places with shallow waters have too many turtles, not interested!" Ye Xunhuan rejected without hesitation.

Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s refusal, Song Yan’s eyes shifted slightly, and he turned to Qiu Ruoxi, "What about Miss Ruoxi, have you thought about expanding your company to the capital?"

"I have thought about it!" Qiu Ruoxi said very decisively!

In Yanjing, the capital city of Huaxia, the country’s political, cultural, and international communication center, as well as a center for technological innovation!

Of course, she wanted to secure a place for herself in the capital.

"However, to expand into the capital with the current strength of Huangtu Group is not enough, it also requires a significant investment of manpower and energy!"

Although Huangtu Group is moving towards diversification, it is still primarily focused on e-commerce.

To establish a foothold in the capital, she would have to set up her own warehouse and recruit a management team, as well as establish a branch office.

This is no small investment!

Currently, Huangtu Group does not have the financial or human resources. They have already invested a lot of money in the racetrack; there isn’t so much spare cash to go to the capital!

Song Yan chuckled lightly, "Miss Qiu Ruoxi, you don’t have to worry about that, just tell me whether you want to go or not!"

Qiu Ruoxi knew that Song Yan wanted to help her, or rather, the Qin family elder wanted Ye Xunhuan to frequently appear in the capital!

If it had been before, she would definitely have said yes without hesitation, after all, she, Qiu Ruoxi is a merchant, a standard merchant!

Any merchant would prioritize their interests!

If she were to use the influence of the Qin family, then it would be a piece of cake for Huangtu Group to gain a firm foothold in the capital.

She was clear about this.

But Qiu Ruoxi still refused, "Thank you for your kindness, but I want to ascend step by step on my own."

It wasn’t that Qiu Ruoxi wanted to refuse, but that Ye Xunhuan didn’t want to go, or rather, he didn’t want to rely on anything from the Qin family!

After hearing Qiu Ruoxi’s refusal, Song Yan sighed lightly, "You are really like Miss Qin Fenghuang, both of you want to ascend step by step without relying on others!"

Qiu Ruoxi smiled, not saying much else.

Ye Xunhuan, on the other hand, looked at Qiu Ruoxi with a face full of surprise; she had thought Qiu Ruoxi would say she wanted to go, but who knew that Qiu Ruoxi would refuse.

Song Yan knew that even if they talked about getting Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi to go to the capital, it would be impossible, so he didn’t bring it up again.

However, he did say, "Just let me know when you go to the capital!"

To this, Qiu Ruoxi naturally smiled and didn’t say much!

After dinner, Song Yan did not leave. Or rather, he had never planned to leave and stayed in the villa.

Because there were many vacant rooms in the villa, Qiu Ruoxi had Wang’s mother prepare a room for Song Yan!

After the room was ready, Wang’s mother took Song Yan to the guest room to rest.

Once Song Yan had left, Qiu Ruoxi whispered to Ye Xunhuan, "Come to my room tonight!"

As soon as the words left her mouth, a blush crept onto Qiu Ruoxi’s face, then she fled the scene like a defeated soldier.

Ye Xunhuan was stunned, feeling like he was dreaming, his face blank!

Qiu Ruoxi wanted him in her room tonight?

He hadn’t misheard, had he? This wasn’t a dream, was it?

Or was this woman having a moment of madness?

The next moment, Ye Xunhuan came back to his senses, his face showing signs of excitement.

Damn, was it possible that Su Guyan had deeply shaken Qiu Ruoxi, making this woman acutely aware that to keep a man’s heart, she had to offer her body!
