Chapter 648: Chapter 0648: A Young Girl Joins the Family
Although He Duoze always maintained a gentle attitude towards Ye Xunhuan, Ye Xunhuan could see that there was an indelible hint of anxiety hidden in his eyes.
Therefore, Ye Xunhuan instinctively thought that He Duoze had encountered some trouble, a serious one at that, which could very likely implicate his own daughter, so he wanted to marry off his daughter as soon as possible.
Startled by Ye Xunhuan’s words, He Sichan froze for a moment and then almost instinctively shook her head, "I don’t know, but what could possibly be wrong with him!"
"Why would you ask that?"
Ye Xunhuan exhaled a thick cloud of smoke and said softly to He Sichan, "I feel, feel that your dad must have encountered some trouble!"
"Even if he did encounter something, is there anything that can’t be said?" He Sichan huffed, "Why must he push me like this!"
Ye Xunhuan chuckled lightly and did not elaborate on the matter. He could see that He Sichan truly didn’t know what trouble He Duoze had encountered; asking was futile.
"Maybe your dad just wants to hold a grandchild!" Ye Xunhuan said indifferently, "Even if you don’t agree with everything your dad has arranged, you don’t have to fall out with him because of me, a stranger..."
Before Ye Xunhuan could finish speaking, He Sichan interrupted him, "You’re not just anyone to me, you were my first man!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Xunhuan couldn’t help but cough.
This woman really doesn’t mince words! 𝑛𝘰𝑣𝘱𝑢𝑏.𝘤𝑜𝘮
"I’m already married, your dad just said as well, there’s no need for you to argue with him because of me!" Ye Xunhuan said somewhat helplessly, "Besides, what happened between us before was just mutual use!"
"It was a kind of transaction!" Ye Xunhuan said with an air of ’no strings attached’, "Moreover, your dad really treats you well!"
"Psh!" He Sichan scoffed, "Have you ever seen a father forcing his own daughter to go on matchmaking dates!"
Ye Xunhuan was taken aback, and then couldn’t help but envision Qi Ruoxi, his own wife. Wasn’t that exactly her?
However, this was something Ye Xunhuan was bound not to say, and he would not tell He Sichan!
"But personally, I hope you can have a good talk with your dad, and clear up whatever it is!" Ye Xunhuan exhaled another thick puff of smoke and said slowly, "There’s no need to fuss over such a trifle!"
"Okay, that’s all I’m going to say. As for what to do, it’s up to you!"
Saying this, Ye Xunhuan stood up, ready to leave.
Seeing this, He Sichan quickly asked, "Are you going to avoid me from now on?"
Upon hearing He Sichan’s query, Ye Xunhuan slowly turned his head, a smile on his face, and asked softly, "Do I owe you money?"
Startled by Ye Xunhuan’s seemingly absurd question, He Sichan hesitated before almost instinctively shaking her head, "No debt!"
"Then why should I avoid you?" Ye Xunhuan answered lightly, "I only dodge creditors!"
He Sichan burst into laughter, her joy blossoming like a myriad of flowers; she had understood Ye Xunhuan’s meaning!
Afterward, Ye Xunhuan didn’t say much more and walked straight out of the hotpot restaurant.
Just as he stepped out of the hotpot restaurant, He Duoze immediately approached Ye Xunhuan!
"Mr. Ye..."
"You should have a good talk with your daughter!" Ye Xunhuan said indifferently, "Even if something has happened, don’t panic; there’s always a solution!"
He Duoze was taken aback and looked at Ye Xunhuan with eyes that had slightly shifted.
Afterward, without giving He Duoze a chance to speak, Ye Xunhuan turned around and left the place.
As for what had befallen He Duoze, he was not in the mood to inquire nor to interfere; he just wanted to live a stable and peaceful life.
Besides, he had a pile of his own mess to deal with. Where would he find the mood to meddle in He Duoze’s affairs?
Not long after Ye Xunhuan left, He Duoze had already snapped back to reality and walked towards the hotpot restaurant.
"Si Chan..."
"Why do you insist on forcing me to marry?" He Sichan asked bluntly, "Initially, I couldn’t believe that you didn’t know what kind of person Pei Zhencuan is, yet you still forced me to marry him!"
Faced with He Sichan’s question, He Duoze fell into silence. After pondering slightly, he said, "You only need to remember that I did it for your own good!"
"Stay away from Ye Xunhuan in the future; he is definitely not a simple character!" He Duoze said emphatically!
Although he didn’t know exactly who Ye Xunhuan really was, the fact that he could marry Qiu Ruoxi, gain favor from Dongfang Shu, and his undeniable connection to Pei Zhencuan’s death did not bode simplicity. Could such a man be simple?
Even across the entire Zhonghai Province, there were rumors that Qi Jieyu’s troubles might be linked to this man.
Therefore, He Duoze had listed Ye Xunhuan as one of the dangerous persons.
"Dad, I know he is not a simple character. Moreover, he was also there when Pei Zhencuan died. I understand what kind of man he is better than you do!" He Sichan said emphatically, "I am asking you now, why do you insist on making me marry!"
"Do I seem bothersome to you, or am I hindering something?"
He Duoze glanced at He Sichan but did not explain anything.
After leaving there, Ye Xunhuan didn’t return to the Huangtu Group to continue working, but started wandering aimlessly around Jiangzhong City.
Not until around five in the afternoon did Ye Xunhuan casually return to the villa.
When Ye Xunhuan got back to the villa, Qiu Ruoxi was not yet home, and there were no signs of Housekeeper Wang in the living room on the first floor.
Regarding this, Ye Xunhuan didn’t think much, assuming Housekeeper Wang had gone out to buy groceries!
After that, Ye Xunhuan changed into slippers and headed directly for the restroom on the first floor to run some water!
Upon reaching the restroom door, Ye Xunhuan thoughtlessly pushed it open!
"Creak!"
The door opened with a sound.
The next moment, Ye Xunhuan was completely stunned. He saw a young girl standing in the restroom. To be more accurate, a girl who had just finished bathing and was preparing to dress, stark naked...
For a moment, Ye Xunhuan was absolutely dumbfounded.
What... what the hell was this situation?
He hadn’t heard that Qiu Ruoxi had any sisters.
Or had he entered the wrong villa?
After a short daze, as if greatly frightened, the girl hastily covered herself with both hands, while letting out a sharp scream from her mouth, "Ah..."
After hearing the scream, Ye Xunhuan immediately snapped back to his senses, hurriedly said to the girl, "Sorry, sorry, I didn’t know..."
"Get out, get out..."
