Although Ye Xunhuan couldn’t figure out what Yuan Feng truly wanted to do or what he meant, he didn’t overthink it.

Yuan Feng didn’t make things difficult for him, nor did he force him into anything, right?

The most important thing was that Yuan Feng said he’d handle the Shu Mountain issue for him. Though Ye Xunhuan wasn’t sure if Yuan Feng could really pull it off, since he had said so, it seemed likely that Shu Mountain wouldn’t bother him for a while.

As for the Lin family, Lin Zhennan was already dead, and Lin Changfeng had been killed by Ye Xunhuan himself. They’d practically have no chance to stir up trouble now!

Unless the Lin family wanted to be completely destroyed, they wouldn’t dare attempt anything.

However, Lin Zhetian might still be a problem.

But for now, Ye Xunhuan didn’t know where Lin Zhetian was. Even if he wanted to wipe out the entire root, he had no way to do so.

Ye Xunhuan didn’t stay long at Yipinxuan. After Yuan Feng left, Ye Xunhuan also left.

However, instead of heading to the hospital to accompany Liu Qingcheng, he went straight to Fenghua Group.

After all, Tang Yurou was currently there, and since Ye Xunhuan had come, how could he not go see her?

Moreover, given the commotion he’d caused, Tang Yurou, who stayed close to Qin Rumeng, was bound to know about it.

Furthermore, since the day Ye Xunhuan had rescued Su Guyan and briefly seen Tang Yurou, he hadn’t had another opportunity to meet her. He honestly missed that easily shy girl!

The distance between Yipinxuan and Fenghua Group wasn’t too far – merely a 10 to 20-minute walk.

Fenghua Group was one of Huaxia’s leading corporations!

Such status wasn’t an exaggeration. In the densely populated capital, Fenghua Group owned a 40-plus-story office building!

The entire Fenghua Tower resembled a tall and graceful tulip, with its sleek lines and elegant decor giving anyone who walked inside a refreshing sensation.

The air carried a faint floral aroma, and various plant arrangements were thoughtfully placed throughout the building, adding a natural touch of freshness.

Ye Xunhuan had visited Fenghua Tower twice before, albeit in a very low-key manner, so not many people in Fenghua Group recognized the Crown Prince.

Ye Xunhuan greatly appreciated this fact.

In fact, the anonymity gave him the perfect opportunity to engage in a little showmanship—testing if anyone dared to look down on him, provoke him, only for him to pull out his phone, call Qin Rumeng, and have the entire executive team rush downstairs in panic to welcome him. Then, amidst the astonished and frightened stares of the employees who underestimated him, he’d lift his chin high while stepping into the elevator!

If Qin Rumeng knew what Ye Xunhuan was thinking right now, she might slap him to death!

To think he wanted to put on airs in his own territory.

Although Ye Xunhuan had a strong desire to show off and vent the gloom in his heart that had built up over recent days, Fenghua Group’s employees were evidently well-trained.

As soon as Ye Xunhuan stepped into Fenghua Group’s lobby, a tall, beautiful front-desk receptionist immediately came up to him.

"Sir, may I assist you with anything?"

"I’m looking for Tang Yurou!"

Although Ye Xunhuan wanted to show off, he went straight to the point and stated his purpose.

After hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, the receptionist’s face revealed a hint of surprise: "Sir, do you have an appointment with President Tang?"

These days, quite a few men tried to meet Tang Yurou, and most of them at least showed up with a bouquet of roses.

Moreover, their looks were generally better than Ye Xunhuan’s.

But this rather average-looking man, with nothing in hand, unexpectedly wanted to see Tang Yurou. How could the receptionist not be taken aback?

Evidently, at this moment, she categorized Ye Xunhuan as one of those suitors chasing Tang Yurou.

"President Tang?" Ye Xunhuan’s lips curled into a grin. "Little Yu Rou’s moving up in the world, huh, she’s President Tang now!"

When the receptionist heard Ye Xunhuan casually calling Tang Yurou "Little Yu Rou," a trace of disdain flickered in her eyes.

Tang Yurou was currently one of Fenghua Group’s most popular figures. With Qin Rumeng’s strong support, nearly everything Qin Rumeng did involved Tang Yurou. On top of that, significant power was being delegated to Tang Yurou.

This had enabled Tang Yurou’s authority within Fenghua Group to grow, and she even had a fair chance of becoming the company’s Chief Executive Officer!

Many men pursued her with relentless enthusiasm, as if crossing the river with countless fish.

Yet here was Ye Xunhuan, casually calling her "Little Yu Rou" in such a frivolous tone. Of course, the receptionist couldn’t help but look down on him!

To her, Ye Xunhuan was just another instance of a toad lusting after swan meat.

Watching the disdain in the receptionist’s eyes, Ye Xunhuan captured it all and couldn’t help but think—should he show off a little?

While Ye Xunhuan was debating whether to make a move, a rhythmic "click, click, click" of footsteps sounded from the stairwell.

The intervals between the steps were short yet highly rhythmic.

It was clear that the approaching individual was a woman—and not just any woman, but one with an abundance of confidence. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to walk with such style.

Following the sound’s direction, Ye Xunhuan looked over and suddenly saw an elegant silhouette with perfectly defined curves appear within his sight.

The woman looked fairly young, appearing to be in her twenties, with delicate and pure features!

Her upper body was adorned with a well-fitted beige OL professional suit, which accentuated her perfectly proportional, exquisite figure to the fullest extent. Her firm, curvaceous hips were especially stunning under the snug fit of her waistband—enough to make blood race.

Her ink-black hair was neatly tied up, exposing her swan-like, graceful neck with an added touch of radiance.

Seeing this woman, Ye Xunhuan’s face lit up in joy. He was about to call her "Little Yu Rou," but the moment he spotted the man next to Tang Yurou—a man dressed in a white Armani casual blazer and holding a bouquet of red roses—Ye Xunhuan’s expression instantly soured.

This man appeared to be around twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, with well-maintained black hair, a pale and clean face, and bright, piercing eyes.

Yet, when those piercing eyes landed on Tang Yurou, they carried a greedy, possessive desire.

Although he masked it well, Ye Xunhuan’s sharp gaze still caught on to it.

"Yu Rou, it’s almost time to leave work. Can I take you out for lunch?" The man grinned as he followed Tang Yurou like a doting lap dog!

"Sorry, I don’t have time!" Tang Yurou replied impatiently.

At that moment, an abrupt voice suddenly rang out: "Little Yu Rou, if I invite you, do you have time?"

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Tang Yurou’s delicate figure trembled slightly before she raised her head and looked toward the direction of the sound.

In the next moment, Ye Xunhuan’s cheerful face came into Tang Yurou’s view!

Seeing Ye Xunhuan, Tang Yurou froze as if dreaming. She even thought she was hallucinating and instinctively rubbed her eyes!

"No need to rub, it’s not an illusion!"

Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan speak again, Tang Yurou suddenly dashed toward him like a whirlwind.
