Chapter 85: You’re a Bit Naughty

Chapter 85: You're a Bit Naughty

The entire family's gaze fell upon He Yan.

He Yan grew increasingly angry as he vehemently stated, "No way! We absolutely can't let Ye Leye go meet…"

Mother He suddenly interrupted He Yan, "What did you just say?"

He Yan replied, "I said we absolutely can't…"

"Two sentences back," Mother He said.

He Yan recalled and earnestly repeated, "I said I suspect Qin Yao can also hear Ye Leye's thoughts."

As his words landed, the living room fell into an abrupt silence.

He Ze's eyes were filled with shock as he spoke first, "Impossible! Wasn't it said that only our family could hear Ye Leye's thoughts?"

He Yan glanced at him, "The reason we came to that conclusion is because we hadn't found evidence of anyone else being able to hear Ye Leye's thoughts before."

He Jing was equally incredulous as he looked up at He Yan, "So now you have evidence?"

He Yan nodded.

Ever since he started suspecting Qin Yao, He Yan had rewatched the live broadcasts from the previous three episodes, including the two official episodes that had already aired.

He took out his phone and sent the videos he had compiled to the family group chat.

"You can see for yourselves."

The other four people pulled out their phones simultaneously, and soon, the living room was filled only with the sound of video playback.

He Yan's compilation was comprehensive, covering everything from the first to the fourth episode.

After watching the videos, the family fell into a long silence.

In the end, it was Mother He who broke the silence, "This isn't a small matter. It's better for us to confirm this with Little Qin rather than speculate here."

Father He agreed with Mother He, "Why don't we do it on the day of the birthday banquet? We've received an invitation anyway, so we can casually ask Little Qin then without seeming too obvious."

Mother He nodded in agreement.

He Jing and He Ze had no objections.

Only He Yan frowned, "So even after knowing that Qin Yao can hear Ye Leye's thoughts, you're not going to stop them from dating? And why do we have to attend that birthday banquet? Are you really planning to let Ye Leye meet the parents?"

It seemed that He Yan still couldn't accept Qin Yao in the short term.

But if he couldn't accept it, then he couldn't. They couldn't control him anyway.

Mother He stood up, sighing helplessly, unwilling to waste any more breath arguing with He Yan.

As she stood up, Father He followed suit.

He Jing checked his watch and said, "I have a meeting."

He Yan looked at He Ze, who patted his second brother's shoulder, "Second Brother, your little brother has grown up. I think you don't need to worry anymore."

He Yan clenched his jaw, "Is this worrying?"

He Ze coughed twice and made up an excuse, "Ning Xu sent me a message saying he found something. I'll be off!"

He Ze left quickly, and within moments, the vast living room was left with only He Yan.

He Yan stood up and quickly sat down again.

No way.

He couldn't let Ye Leye attend the birthday banquet like this!

He had to come up with a plan.

But as he thought about it, He Yan spent a full five days pondering.

With the next day being Qin Yao's mother's birthday banquet, He Yan still hadn't figured out how to prevent Ye Leye from attending.

In the afternoon, apart from Ye Leye, who was still in acting class, and He Ze, who hadn't returned home yet, brothers He Jing and He Yan were both at home.

Mother He asked He Yan first, "Five days have passed, have you thought of a solution?"

He Yan remained silent.

Father He leaned over, "Why don't you come with us? If you have any grievances, you can confront Qin Yao on the spot."

Mother He nodded, "That makes sense."

He Yan was speechless, "His family is hosting a banquet tomorrow. Isn't it causing trouble if I create a scene on the day of the banquet?"

Father He laughed, "So you know you're causing trouble!"

He Jing sincerely added, "Little Leye is doing well in his relationship. Not only are you against it, but you also want him to break up with Qin Yao. That's also causing trouble."

Just as He Yan was about to argue with He Jing, He Jing's phone rang suddenly. He picked it up and answered, "Hello."

He Yan snorted and prepared to give everyone the cold shoulder. He stood up, ready to head upstairs, when he heard He Jing's voice behind him, "Typhoon?"

He Yan paused, and Father He and Mother He also looked towards He Jing.

He Jing's expression was somewhat grave, and after a long while, his furrowed brows relaxed, "Alright, I understand."

The call ended, and Mr. Huo had already turned on the news.

On TV, the weather segment was broadcasting the latest updates on the typhoon forecast. Looking at the path of the typhoon, wasn't it precisely the route that the cargo ship had been scheduled to take a few days ago?

The family couldn't help but marvel.

It turned out there really was a typhoon that veered off in that direction—

Fortunately, they had listened to Ye Leyao's advice a few days ago!

Mrs. Huo let out a long sigh and said to Huo Jing, "Looks like you should give little Leyao a proper thank you."

Huo Jing nodded solemnly; indeed, he needed to properly thank Ye Leyao.

After a moment of contemplation, Huo Jing said, "I'll transfer some pocket money to Leyao. Love needs a budget too."

Huo Yan's eyelids twitched heavily: "Why didn't I see you giving me any love funds when I was dating? Also, Ye Leyao is dating Qin Yao, what money do they need? Surely Qin Yao isn't planning to spend Ye Leyao's money? If so, they should break up—"

"Shut your mouth for once! And talking about love funds, after giving you love funds, are you planning to use that money to help raise someone else's child?" Mrs. Huo asked sincerely.

Huo Yan: "I—"

"Has Leyao come back yet?!" Suddenly, Huo Ze shouted, rushing into the room with excitement.

Seeing his excited face, Mr. Huo was puzzled. "What good news have you encountered?"

"I found out!" Huo Ze looked agitated, with a hint of anger in his tone. "Not only did we find evidence of Li Chi fixing matches, but we also caught an insider!"

Upon hearing this, the family was taken aback.

One Li Chi wasn't enough; someone had actually planted an insider within the team. Who could be so determined to bring down Huo Ze's team?

Huo Ze quickly walked over, sat down on the sofa, drank a glass of water, and then showed everyone the evidence he had gathered during this time.

Mr. and Mrs. Huo took the lead in examining the evidence, growing increasingly alarmed as they read through it.

"If I'm not mistaken, this assistant has been with you for quite some time," Huo Jing said.

Huo Ze nodded.

He hadn't expected that his most trusted assistant was actually someone planted by others.

Fortunately, they hadn't prepared many strategies for the previous season, winning games purely based on skill, so it hadn't affected their matches.

After reviewing all the evidence, Mr. Huo said solemnly, "What do you plan to do next?"

Without hesitation, a glint of ruthlessness flashed in Huo Ze's eyes: "Of course, make them pay!"

Although Huo Ze usually seemed easy-going, this matter had crossed his line. He wasn't a pushover and wouldn't let this go easily.

After hearing his words, Mr. and Mrs. Huo nodded.

Huo Jing said, "Then you should first deal with the assistant and Li Chi. But what about the person behind all this? What do you plan to do?"

With that, he picked out a file from the pile and placed it in front of Huo Ze. It contained information about a man, with a three-inch photo below which was written the name—Gu Song.

This was the only point of concern for Huo Ze. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "I don't know why Gu Song wants to destroy my team, but regardless of the reason, he's already crossed me. I've been wondering if I were to really cause trouble for Gu Song, would it put Ye Leyao in a difficult position?"

Just then, a puzzled voice sounded: "Huh? What difficulty am I facing?"

Ye Leyao heard this sentence upon entering the room and was quite puzzled.

"And Gu Song?"

"Why does that name sound familiar?"

Huo Ze hastily put away the file and cleared his throat. "Nothing."

Ye Leyao changed her shoes and walked in, her gaze falling on Huo Ze as she tilted her head slightly.

"Third Brother is lying!"

Ye Leyao hummed and sat down next to Huo Ze, preparing to ask what was going on, when her phone vibrated slightly.

Ye Leyao hurriedly nodded and took out her phone; it was a message from Qin Yao.

As she replied, she muttered to herself.

"Arrived home, arrived home. Will you pick me up tomorrow?"

"No need, no need. I can just go with Mr. and Mrs. Huo tomorrow."

Huo Ze instantly felt relieved and quickly gave the others a meaningful look.

Huo Jing thought for a moment and said, "Leyao, I've had my assistant transfer five million to you. It should arrive tomorrow."

Ye Leyao was in the middle of replying to messages when she heard this, and her eyes suddenly lit up. "Why is Big Brother transferring money to me?"

"Is it because you think I've been working hard in class recently and want to reward me for my efforts?"

In his heart, Huo Jing thought, of course not.

But it could indeed be considered a reward for Ye Leyao.

After all, if it weren't for Ye Leyao, his business would have suffered losses in the hundreds of millions due to the cargo alone.

Thinking of this, Huo Jing cleared his throat. "Just take it. You deserve it."

Ye Leyao hurriedly nodded. "Okay!"

"Heh heh, my savings have grown again!"

For a moment, Ye Leyao felt particularly elated.

He happily checked his bank balance, then put down his phone.

"Hmm, but what did Third Brother mean by that?"

Huozhe's eyelids twitched instantly, and without thinking, he said, "I'll transfer ten million to you tomorrow too."

Ye Leyao's eyes widened suddenly.

The others couldn't help but glance at Huozhe.

Hoyan glared at Huozhe.

You're really rich!

Don't tell me this money is also for Ye Leyao's love fund!

Huozhe chuckled, thinking that he was indeed about to say just that.

Clearing his throat, Huozhe said, "Haven't you been dating recently? You must have more expenses."

Thinking of Qinyao, Ye Leyao felt slightly embarrassed.

But the thought of ten million brought him joy once again.

"Third Brother actually gave me so much in one go, much more generous than Eldest Brother!"

Huojing: "…"

Huozhe couldn't help but want to laugh, adding, "And you're about to start school soon. Are you planning to live at home or move out?"

Ye Leyao hadn't really considered this question: "I haven't decided yet."

He was quite accustomed to living at home, but it was quite far from school. Commuting daily would be quite troublesome.

Mother Huo smiled and suggested, "Why not stay in your new house during the school term? It's closer to school, and you can come back on weekends and holidays."

Ye Leyao pondered for a moment: "That works!"

And so, the matter was settled.

During this time, Hoyan tried countless times to persuade Ye Leyao not to attend the banquet the next day, but never found the right opportunity.

Even after dinner that night, as Ye Leyao went upstairs to sleep, Hoyan didn't manage to say a word.

Mother Huo found this very strange and asked Hoyan before going upstairs, "Why didn't you say anything about not letting Xiaoyao go to the banquet?"

Hoyan remained silent.

After a long while—so long that Mother Huo thought he wasn't going to speak and was about to head upstairs—Hoyan finally said in a deep voice, "I don't want Ye Leyao to go, but for some reason, I feel like I shouldn't stop him."

His words were vague and peculiar.

Not only did Mother Huo not understand, but neither did anyone else.

"I think your Second Brother has been acting strange lately," Mother Huo said, linking arms with Huozhe as they headed upstairs.

Huozhe nodded: "Yeah, I've been thinking the same thing. Maybe Second Brother should start dating. Once he does, he probably won't be so weird all the time."

Father Huo and Huojing followed them up the stairs.

Hoyan gritted his teeth: "Huozhe! Stop making things up about me every day!"

Huozhe chose to ignore Hoyan's comment.

The next morning, the family got up early and set off for the Qin residence together.

In the car, Mother Huo suddenly remembered something and asked Ye Leyao, "Today should be your first time visiting the Qin residence, right?"

Ye Leyao nodded.

The Qin family had always held banquets, but Ye Leyao had never liked crowded places, so this was his first visit to their home.

"Well, remember to let Qinyao show you around later," Mother Huo smiled, then glanced at the sullen-faced Hoyan beside her. "If it's convenient, take your Second Brother along too."

Ye Leyao turned to look at Hoyan, unable to suppress a mental exclamation.

"Why does Second Brother look so terrible? Did he not sleep well last night?"

The others struggled to hold back their laughter.

Wasn't it because he didn't sleep well?

But no one commented further, lest Hoyan become angry and embarrassed.

An hour later, they arrived at the Qin family's old residence.

Qinyao stood at the entrance of the mansion to greet guests. Seeing the Huo family's car, his eyes brightened, and he quickly walked over to meet them.

Since the end of the fourth episode's filming, Ye Leyao hadn't seen Qinyao for a full five days!

Seeing him now, Ye Leyao was delighted and ran over.

Qinyao wore a silver suit today, which, tailored to fit his figure, made him appear even taller. Seeing Ye Leyao, his deep eyes curved into a smile, and he reached out to catch the running Ye Leyao.

Feeling the familiar, affectionate warmth of Qinyao's embrace, Ye Leyao couldn't help but grin widely. "President Qin!"

Qin Yao hummed in acknowledgment, reaching out to clasp Ye Leyao's hand. He then took out a handkerchief to gently wipe the beads of sweat from the tip of her nose, his expression tender. "Why did you run? Aren't you tired?"

Ye Leyao shook her head.

"Happy, not tired."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yan was somewhat speechless.

Ye Leyao was also love-struck!

Seeing the entire Huo family approach, Qin Yao didn't let go of Ye Leyao's hand. Instead, he naturally greeted everyone else with an easy demeanor.

It was at this moment that a deep male voice sounded: "This is Xiao Yao?"

Ye Leyao turned her head to see a man who bore a resemblance to Qin Yao. The man wore a smile on his face, and when he noticed Ye Leyao looking over, the warmth in his eyes intensified.

Ye Leyao recognized the newcomer.

"He's President Qin's father? He looks so familiar; I think I've seen him before."

Ye Leyao politely greeted him. "Hello, Uncle Qin."

Qin Hongxi responded with a smile, then took two red envelopes the size of suitcases from his assistant and handed them to Ye Leyao.

Ye Leyao's eyes widened suddenly.

"Huh? What are these?"

Qin Hongxi explained with a smile, "Gifts for our first meeting. My wife is busy right now, so I'm giving you her envelope as well."

Ye Leyao glanced at Qin Yao, then looked at Huo Dad and Huo Mom.

To give such large red envelopes upon their first meeting suggested that Qin Dad was quite pleased with Ye Leyao.

Huo Dad and Huo Mom were also satisfied with his attitude, so they nodded slightly, signaling for Ye Leyao to accept them.

However, Ye Leyao didn't take them, instead looking back at Qin Yao.

"Should I accept them?"

"Can I accept these?"

Qin Yao found her question amusing. Reaching out, he took the two red envelopes and placed them in Ye Leyao's hands. "Take them."

Only then did Ye Leyao smile at Qin Hongxi. "Thank you, Uncle Qin."

She muttered to herself,

"So heavy! What's inside? It can't be a box full of money, right?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Yao reached out again to take the two suitcases. "I'll carry them for you."

Ye Leyao nodded repeatedly, quickly handing the two cases to Qin Yao.

The interaction between the two caught the attention of the group. Qin Hongxi's eyes were filled with joy, while Huo Dad and Huo Mom's gazes held a deeper meaning.

It seemed that what Huo Yan had said was indeed true. Even the most intimate couples couldn't understand each other's thoughts with just a glance, could they?

Qin Yao could indeed hear Ye Leyao's inner voice.

The elders of both families stood together, exchanging casual pleasantries. Then, Qin Hongxi said to Qin Yao, "Alright, why don't you take Xiao Yao in for a tour? I'll handle things here."

Qin Yao nodded, bidding farewell to the Huo family before leading Ye Leyao inside.

As they watched the couple walk away, Huo Ze nudged Huo Yan with his elbow and whispered, "Second Brother, aren't you going to follow them?"

Huo Yan's response was succinct and clear, consisting of only one word: "Scram."

He was really annoyed!

Huo Ze wanted to laugh but feared his second brother's wrath, so he held it in.

Ye Leyao followed Qin Yao into the villa, growing increasingly puzzled the further they walked. Unable to resist, she asked, "President Qin, have I been to your house before?"

Qin Yao replied, "I don't think so."

Ye Leyao said, "Is that so?"

"But why do I feel like this place is so familiar?"

Ye Leyao then asked, "By the way, President Qin, where's your mother?"

Qin Yao's brows furrowed slightly before he answered, "She should be chatting with my uncle right now. Don't worry about her. Why don't I take you to my room to rest for a bit?"

Ye Leyao found this odd but didn't ask further, following Qin Yao up the stairs.

The Qin family's villa had four floors in total.

The entire first floor was a communal area, the second floor housed Qin Dad and Qin Mom's rooms, and Qin Yao's room was on the third floor, a spacious suite with a large balcony.

The moment they reached the door, Ye Leyao felt a sudden pang in her heart.

Pushing the door open, Ye Leyao immediately saw the vast balcony outside the living room.

It was late August, the season when countless flowers bloomed in vibrant competition.

The expansive balcony was now awash with roses, their blooms forming a sea of color. Amidst the floral splendor, bees buzzed by, and a gentle breeze carried the sweet fragrance of the flowers toward them.

Standing at the doorway, Ye Leyao remained rooted to the spot until Qin Yao, curious, asked, "Leyao, why aren't you coming in?"

Ye Le Yao was suddenly brought back to reality, the dense and damp emotions in his heart were instantly cleared away. He said without thinking, "I really like your balcony."

"If you put a reclining chair there to bask in the sun, it should be quite comfortable, right?"

Upon hearing Qin Yao's words, his gaze followed Ye Le Yao's to the balcony bathed in sunlight, the corner of his mouth slightly curved. "Do you want to sit for a while? I'll pour you some milk?"

Ye Le Yao's eyes suddenly lit up. "There's milk?"

Qin Yao nodded.

Knowing that Ye Le Yao was coming, he had prepared oat milk early on.

Ye Le Yao happily moved two chairs out from the living room, sitting in the shade where the sun couldn't reach, patiently waiting for Qin Yao to bring him his milk.

For some reason, he suddenly discovered a long-lost excitement and joy in his heart.

As if he had been looking forward to this day all along.

Qin Yao didn't make Ye Le Yao wait too long, quickly bringing over a glass of iced oat milk and handing it to Ye Le Yao before sitting down next to him.

Ye Le Yao took a big sip of the milk, squinting his eyes in satisfaction.

"Delicious."

Qin Yao's gaze fell on Ye Le Yao's upturned lips, his eyes filled with gentle smiles.

After drinking more than half of the glass of milk, Ye Le Yao suddenly remembered something and asked, "President Qin, don't you have to go busy yourself?"

Qin Yao nodded. "There's nothing that needs my attention for now, but I might need to socialize later."

Ye Le Yao laughed. "Why do I feel like you're a bit reluctant when you say that?"

Qin Yao turned his head, his deep eyes staring straight at Ye Le Yao.

It wasn't until Ye Le Yao belatedly felt a little embarrassed and shifted his gaze that he heard Qin Yao softly say, "Don't you know why I'm reluctant?"

Ye Le Yao cooled his face with the milk glass, hearing his heart beat a little faster, but he still maintained his composure. "I don't know, President Qin, why don't you tell me?"

The young man's eyes widened slightly, his long, thick lashes fluttered twice.

Like two small brushes, they swept across Qin Yao's heart, causing a slight itch.

Qin Yao's Adam's apple moved slightly as he said helplessly, "Yao Yao, you're a bit naughty."

Ye Le Yao's lips curled up wildly, half of his body leaning against Qin Yao. "Really not going to tell me?"

His fluffy hair was pressed against Qin Yao's neck, and if he just lowered his head slightly, Qin Yao could brush against the boy's soft hair with his cheek.

In fact, Qin Yao did just that.

Soft strands of hair slid across his cheek, and finally, Qin Yao placed a light kiss on the top of his head.

"Because of you," Qin Yao said.

Ye Le Yao suddenly lifted his head, his face full of anticipation. "Huh?"

Qin Yao suddenly found himself unable to look directly into Ye Le Yao's eyes; just making eye contact made his heart race. He slightly averted his gaze and fell silent.

But Ye Le Yao wouldn't let it go. "What? President Qin, you have to tell me, I didn't hear clearly just now, say it again!"

Qin Yao: "No."

"Tell me!"

Qin Yao: "No."

Ye Le Yao sat up straight, his fluffy head leaving Qin Yao's shoulder. "I'm getting mad!"

Qin Yao thought for a moment. "Then I'll pour you another glass of milk?"

Ye Le Yao couldn't help but laugh. "So your way of apologizing to me is by pouring me milk?"

"Will you accept it?" Qin Yao smiled.

The young man in front of him was very easy to please.

Ye Le Yao looked at his already empty cup and blinked. "Then add a hug, and I'll forgive you."

Qin Yao took Ye Le Yao's empty cup and stood up, suddenly bending over again.

Ye Le Yao only felt the warmth on his forehead flash by, and the next second, Qin Yao had already walked indoors. "Deal."

Ye Le Yao jumped up. "President Qin, you kissed my forehead again!"

"Hmph, you clearly told me yesterday on WeChat that you would kiss me!"

"And then what?! You only kiss my forehead, I'll wear a hat next time!"

Qin Yao, who was in the kitchen, couldn't help but laugh out loud upon hearing this.

At the same time, Chu Cheng, standing at the third-floor entrance, suddenly noticed that Huo Yan's expression had suddenly become very ugly.

Huo Ze pursed his lips, wanting to laugh but held back.

Seeing this, Chu Cheng couldn't resist asking, "Are you okay? Why do you look so bad?"

Huo Yan had a sullen expression, shaking his head. "Nothing."

Chu Cheng didn't think he looked like he was fine, but he didn't ask any further, knocking on the door instead. "Cousin, that idiot related to me by blood wants to see you."

After waiting patiently for two seconds, Ye Leyao opened the door. "Huh?"

Seeing Ye Leyao, Chu Cheng instantly flashed him a bright smile. "Long time no see!"

Ye Leyao looked at the three people and asked Chu Cheng, "A blood-related idiot?"

Chu Cheng grinned. "He's my biological father."

At this moment, Qin Yao approached with a glass of milk. He first handed it to Ye Leyao before saying to Chu Cheng, "You still went to see him?"

Chu Cheng replied, "I went to see my aunt, but..."

He shrugged, leaving his sentence unfinished.

Qin Yao nodded and then looked at Ye Leyao. "My mother should be there too. Do you want to come with me?"

He Huayan's brows furrowed immediately. "Ye Leyao shouldn't go."

Qin Yao nodded. "Alright."

Ye Leyao was confused. "Wait, weren't you asking if I wanted to go? I haven't even said anything yet! I'm going!"

He Huayan opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing, only glaring at Qin Yao.

Qin Yao thought about it and decided to be honest. "My mother might not be as enthusiastic towards you as my father is."

Ye Leyao was taken aback. "Why?"

"Could it be that Auntie is homophobic?"

What kind of talk was this?

Qin Yao wanted to laugh, but after hearing Ye Leyao's words, the heavy weight in his heart lightened slightly. He explained, "No, it's more like she doesn't really like me, so she won't be very warm towards you either."

Ye Leyao blinked slowly.

"The CEO Qin's mother doesn't like CEO Qin?"

"But I should still wish Auntie a happy birthday, right?" Ye Leyao said.

"After all, I'm not dating Auntie; as long as CEO Qin likes me, that's good enough!"

Ye Leyao smiled.

Suddenly, Qin Yao felt a pang of bittersweet emotion.

He Huayan and He Ze sighed inwardly at the same time.

At this moment, He Ze finally understood why He Huayan insisted that Ye Leyao was love-struck.

Looking at him now, it did seem somewhat true!

Since Ye Leyao wanted to go, the others didn't try to stop him.

He Huayan and He Ze proposed that they would go along as well.

So the four of them descended the stairs and headed towards the living room on the first floor.

Before they entered, Ye Leyao heard two voices in conversation—

The woman asked, "Has Gu Yu not settled down with that child yet?"

"Tsk, don't mention it. You've watched him grow up since he was little, don't you know him well enough? With his bad temper, who can put up with him? He's been fighting with his partner over breaking up again recently." The man replied and continued, "But I think it's better for him to go through these troubles. If he doesn't sort things out, he won't settle down. Once he's done causing trouble, he'll probably settle down."

The woman said, "Indeed, Xiao Yu is still young, there's no rush."

The man continued, "Yes, I plan to wait until he settles down and then have him retire from the entertainment industry, just like your Qin Yao, entering the Qin Group..."

When Ye Leyao heard this, his brows furrowed.

"Gu Yu? Xiao Yu?"

"Why does that name sound so familiar?"

In the next moment, Qin Yao led Ye Leyao into the living room, and Ye Leyao's gaze immediately fell on the man sitting across from the woman.

With just one glance, Ye Leyao recognized the man.

"Gu Song?!"

"Hmm, why do I know his name?"

"Gu Yu... Who is this person?"

In the next moment, Ye Leyao remembered.

"So it's them!"

"So the scum villain I hate the most from that novel, Gu Yu, is Chu Cheng's stepbrother? Another cousin of CEO Qin?"

Ye Leyao's brows knitted tightly as everything suddenly clicked:

"So the most famous scene in that book—the explosive plot where the scum villain gets caught cheating with his stepmother and almost gets castrated by the main character—happens at today's banquet?"

Qin Yao, He Huayan, and He Ze turned their heads to look at Ye Leyao in unison.

What was that?

It felt like a niche language they couldn't understand for a moment.
