Chapter 599: Chapter 0599: Fright at Dinner Time
Luo Hanlin was bursting with rage upon learning that Qiu Ruoxi had been taken away by some unidentified people, and that Norman had also been injured!
What the hell is going on?
How could anyone know that Qiu Ruoxi had arrived in Milan?
Who are these people, and what is their relationship with Qiu Ruoxi?
They even had the audacity to tell him to prepare a coffin and to clean his neck!
Fury!
Luo Hanlin’s heart was filled with fiery anger, but mixed within this fury was a deep-seated sense of dread.
These people knew of Qiu Ruoxi’s arrival and had taken her away, which meant that the organization must be vast, its reach covering the globe, capable of tracking everyone’s movements.
They also knew about the relationship between Qiu Ruoxi and Ye Xunhuan!
Who could it be?
Who wants me dead?
At this moment, Luo Hanlin felt like a buffoon, played around by the opponent.
This was something Luo Hanlin found impossible to accept.
"Who is it? Just who is it?" Luo Hanlin, holding his head, pulling at his not-so-thick hair, looked disheveled and fierce!
Meanwhile, Ye Xunhuan, with Qiu Ruoxi in tow, had gone straight back to Avid’s villa by Lake Como.
After returning to the villa, it was almost ten o’clock at night.
Upon arriving at the Lake Como villa, Qiu Ruoxi’s heart was filled with surprise.
How did this guy find such a villa in Italy? Could he possibly have well-connected acquaintances here, and ones of high status at that?
Qiu Ruoxi was well aware of Lake Como in Milan and also knew what the villas here represented in all of Europe!
And then there’s Dominic, addressing her as "Queen." Could it be that Ye Xunhuan is their "King"?
What exactly does Ye Xunhuan do?
Is he really just the nephew of the Qin family, the young master of Fenghua Group?
For a moment, Qiu Ruoxi’s heart was filled with doubt and bewilderment, and she couldn’t help but think back to the Ye Xunhuan of the past, who was idle all day, indulging in sloth and luxury!
Initially, Ye Xunhuan was completely reliant on Qiu Ruoxi, wearing what she provided, spending her money, almost as if he were kept by her!
She always despised him for his lack of ambition, like a wallow of mire that couldn’t support a wall, always hoping he would stand out and achieve something.
But Ye Xunhuan always found ways to escape responsibility, was always flirting around, never taking anything seriously, even working at her company only because her parents were in town.
It wasn’t until Qin Rumeng appeared that she realized she hadn’t married a penniless bum but had entered a highly coveted affluent family!
At the same time, she learned that Ye Xunhuan had extraordinary abilities...
Now, he had brought her to a villa on the shores of Lake Como and seeing this luxurious and imposing villa, like a castle, she realized that what she knew about Ye Xunhuan was just the tip of the iceberg!
This man was like a black hole, tempting people to continuously explore his true face!
What role does he play abroad?
What does "King" and "Queen" mean?
Because Ye Xunhuan had told Mei Hanqing that Qiu Ruoxi was coming to Milan, Mei Hanqing didn’t rest but sat in the living room waiting for Qiu Ruoxi.
When Ye Xunhuan walked in with Qiu Ruoxi from outside, Mei Hanqing who was sitting on the sofa immediately stood up: "Chairman!"
At this moment, Mei Hanqing didn’t act as casually as usual, nor did she throw herself into Ye Xunhuan’s arms like a little bird, right after seeing him.
Standing before her was Qiu Ruoxi.
Even though the marriage between Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi was arranged by their parents, Qiu Ruoxi was indeed Ye Xunhuan’s wife, his spouse.
She didn’t dare to overstep.
Moreover, Qiu Ruoxi owed Mei Hanqing a favor.
Upon seeing the incredibly luxurious decor inside the villa, Qiu Ruoxi’s heart trembled violently!
What... What kind of person owns a villa decorated so lavishly?
However, Qiu Ruoxi managed to control the immense shock in her heart and calmly nodded, "Han Qing, you haven’t been hurt in any way, have you?"
"I’m fine!" Mei Hanqing shook her head and said, "Thank you for your concern, President."
"This was my oversight, I had not expected to encounter such an event, and for that, I am truly sorry!"
Saying this, Qiu Ruoxi bowed apologetically to Mei Hanqing, hoping for her forgiveness.
Mei Hanqing was startled to see Qiu Ruoxi bowing to her and hurriedly said, "President, you mustn’t do this, I..."
Ye Xunhuan was also stunned. He had never expected to see Qiu Ruoxi, who had always been aloof and regal like a queen at the company, actually bending to apologize to one of her staff!
No wonder this woman was so revered at the entire Imperial Map Corporation despite her aloofness; her ability to win people’s loyalty was so impressive that even Ye Xunhuan couldn’t help but admire her!
"Wife, nah, there’s no harm done, so let’s not stand on ceremony, besides, we are all family now..."
Since his relationship with Qiu Ruoxi had been fully exposed, there was no need for Ye Xunhuan to hide anything, so he spoke more freely than usual.
Qiu Ruoxi also knew that Mei Hanqing had come to Milan with Ye Xunhuan and that she would certainly find out about her relationship with Ye Xunhuan, so she did not mind him calling her his wife.
The next moment, Dominic walked up from the outside and respectfully said to Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi, "King, Queen, dinner is prepared. Would you like to dine now?"
"Thank you, my man, we’re coming now!"
"It is my duty!" Dominic looked somewhat overwhelmed after hearing Ye Xunhuan thank him.
Under Dominic’s guidance, Qiu Ruoxi and Ye Xunhuan headed straight for the dining room.
Though Qiu Ruoxi was full of questions and confusion and wanted to ask Ye Xunhuan, she did not speak up just yet.
The villa’s dining room was a separate room, vast and equally lavish, with all the tableware being gold-rimmed.
This caused Qiu Ruoxi’s heart to twitch yet again. What on earth was this place?
Who was the master of this house?
After sitting down, Ye Xunhuan had initially wanted Dominic to join them for the meal, but Dominic insisted he could not dare to sit and eat with Ye Xunhuan and chose to stand by, like a bodyguard.
Feeling rather helpless about this, Ye Xunhuan did not press the matter and simply started eating and drinking.
But when a man came pushing a trolley to continue serving dishes, Ye Xunhuan, who had been concentrating on his food, suddenly stopped.
The next moment, Ye Xunhuan swiftly stood up, blocking the waiter’s path!
Upon seeing Ye Xunhuan’s abrupt action, Dominic by his side was momentarily taken aback. What was happening?
Ye Xunhuan looked at the golden lid in front of him and quietly asked, "What’s inside this?"
"It’s a seafood soup!"
"Open it!"
"Now?"
"What do you think?"
"Yes!"
As the man gestured to lift the golden lid, Ye Xunhuan moved, his right hand swiftly grabbing the man’s wrist.
At the same time, his right leg kicked out fiercely, sending the trolley flying!
"Clang!"
The trolley was kicked to the floor by Ye Xunhuan, and the dishes on top came crashing down. What spilled out from under the golden lid was not soup, but a tied bundle of timer bombs!
Upon seeing this, everyone was petrified, while Dominic broke into a cold sweat!
