Chapter 159: Returning to Hangzhou City

Sun Yaoqi muttered softly, her heart fluttering with anxiety. Ye Fei looked entirely like a petty hoodlum; if he made some bizarre demand, would she really have to agree to every single one of them?

"You aren't going to make me do something I hate, are you?" Sun Yaoqi looked at Ye Fei, feeling increasingly uneasy. All in all, she was overcome by an inexplicable sense of tension.

"Come with me. I'll take you to meet my elder sister. But before that, take me to your home." With that, Ye Fei strode toward the Sun residence on his own. Sun Yaoqi rushed up from behind, blocked his path, and demanded, "Who are you? What is your purpose? How do you know my father isn't home?"

...

Holy crap, what a golden opportunity!

Ye Fei abruptly stopped in his tracks, turned around, and said, "Really? Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

Sun Yaoqi was completely stunned. This guy had only crossed paths with her twice, wasn't he acting a bit too familiar?

"Ye Fei, I'm warning you! We have bodyguards at home. You better watch your step, or you'll regret it!"

Hearing Sun Yaoqi's threat, Ye Fei just shrugged casually and asked in confusion, "What are you warning me for? What did I do?"

Sun Yaoqi was momentarily at a loss for words. It seemed Ye Fei hadn't actually done anything, nor had he made any explicit remarks, yet she still felt he was untrustworthy.

"Nothing. Why go to my house? My dad isn't home!"

"I know. Can't we just go hang out at your place?"

Unable to do anything with someone as shameless as Ye Fei, Sun Yaoqi gave up, turned around, and walked in the opposite direction. "I'm not going home with you."

Ye Fei closed the distance in two steps. "Miss, your dad was the one who asked me to wait for him at your house. What kind of scene are you making now? It would be a bit awkward for me to go in alone, but with you around, we can at least chat."

Sun Yaoqi froze for a second, then blurted out, "Then just say so clearly! I thought you wanted to sleep with me!"

...

Could this pampered young miss be sexually frustrated too?

Ye Fei looked at Sun Yaoqi earnestly and said word for word, "If... you want to, I wouldn't refuse!"

*Smack.* Sun Yaoqi delivered a solid, resounding slap across Ye Fei's face.

"What was that for? Wasn't that what you were thinking? Why hit me? I was looking out for you!" Ye Fei looked incredibly wronged. Left with no choice, Sun Yaoqi had no option but to lead him back first.

Behind her, Ye Fei flashed a triumphant smile. He had finally managed to get this haughty young miss to take him home. He had to admit, she was quite a handful.

Outside the gates of the Sun family estate, Sun Yaoqi came to a halt, forced a cough, and put on a composed front. "Don't you dare tell my mom and dad that I hit you, understand?"

Ye Fei was still covering his face, his eyes full of innocence.

Sun Yaoqi said impatiently, "What now? It was just a slap, alright, my bad, okay? Besides! You were the one who provoked me first, it was self-defense, understand?"

Of course he wouldn't understand. Ye Fei was immensely pleased with himself. The only way to rein in this arrogant young miss was to make her feel sympathetic toward him.

"But... even my parents have never hit me."

Sun Yaoqi furrowed her brows and let out a sigh. "Fine. From now on, I'm at your beck and call. Whenever you need help with anything, I promise I won't make excuses."

Having achieved his goal, Ye Fei put on a reluctant facade as he finally lowered the hand covering his face, maintaining his aggrieved expression.

Sun Yaoqi shoved Ye Fei through the doorway and personally served him tea and water.

The butler at the entrance was dumbfounded. The young miss had never treated anyone this well before, and he couldn't help whispering to Ye Fei, "Is the young miss fond of you?"

"Mm-hmm!"

Ye Fei's affirmation was so resolute that it made the old butler slightly awkward. The butler quickly excused himself—this was clearly the future son-in-law of the Sun family, and under no circumstances could he afford to be discourteous.

Half an hour later, Sun Yao finally returned. As soon as he stepped through the door, he started lecturing Sun Yaoqi about how she loafed around all day and lacked any useful skills, though most of it was standard parental nagging.

"Sir, I have something to tell you."

"Never mind, it can wait! I need to go discuss the Liu family matter with Ye Fei first. We'll talk later, alright?"

The butler quietly withdrew. It seemed the master already knew about it, otherwise why would he be showing such profound respect to Ye Fei?

The moment Ye Fei saw Sun Yao, he rushed forward to shake his hand. "Hello, the matter has been settled. Is there anything else you'd like to say? You can fill me in beforehand."

Sun Yao sat down opposite Ye Fei, rubbed his hands together, and said, "The Xue family cooperated quite well this time, and we have you to thank for brokering it! Rest assured, going forward, we will give your ideas our full support. Next, to recoup our recent losses, the Liu family is about to launch all their new products. We will hit them hard with another wave of suppression, and they won't last a few days."

Ye Fei extended his hand. "Pleasure doing business with you!"

"Ye Fei, if I may ask... the Liu family has no enmity with you, so why do you hate them to the bone?"

The Liu family had previously been business partners with the Sun family, maintaining commercial alliances all along. No matter what, it shouldn't have escalated to the point of completely ruining the Liu family.

Ye Fei straightened his clothes, stood up solemnly, and said with a serious expression, "I am the God of Wealth. Descending to the mortal realm this time is precisely because the Liu family has committed too many evil deeds, so I have come to reclaim my wealth."

...

Sun Yao was frozen in place.

Sun Yaoqi, who was walking in with a tray of tea, wore an expression of utter astonishment.

It seemed that joke had gone a bit too far!

Ye Fei suddenly clapped his hands and laughed awkwardly, "Just kidding. The main thing is that Bai Yaoyao from the Bai family is my senior martial sister, and they tried to force her into marriage. I couldn't bear to watch, so I decided to teach them a lesson they'll never forget."

Sun Yao breathed a sigh of relief. One shouldn't joke about such things; if Ye Fei really were the God of Wealth, their family's fortune would be rolling in endlessly.

After leaving the Sun residence, Sun Yaoqi walked with Ye Fei for a stretch of the road. Seemingly offhand, she asked, "Are you heading back to Hangzhou today?"

"What? Can't bear to part with me?"

Sun Yaoqi rolled her eyes. This guy seemed incapable of speaking without flirting. "No, I was just going to say watch your flight, be careful."

Ye Fei smiled. Even though Sun Yaoqi had a bit of a pampered temper, she had finally become his friend.

"Stop right there! You're the one who ruined my family?"

Ye Fei stopped. Liu Xiaonan looked different from the last time they met; back then, he had arrogant red hair, but today he sported an unassuming head of black hair.

"What's up? Are you here for revenge?"

Liu Xiaonan sneered, waved his hand, and ordered, "Get him, all of you! That's the guy, beat him to a pulp! If any of you leave him breathing, I'll bury you with him."

A lackey beside him muttered, "That woman looks like Sun Yaoqi, the young miss of the Sun family."

Liu Xiaonan recognized Sun Yaoqi. After a second of hesitation, he immediately barked, "Beat her to death too! Leave no witnesses."

Ye Fei glanced up at a security camera. Was Liu Xiaonan's brain wired backward? How could he say something like that out loud?
