Ye Qiu encounters Zhang Xianwei, who makes unwanted advances and tries to smear her reputation. Cheng Ruiting intervenes to protect Ye Qiu, leading to a confrontation. Ye Qiu's siblings, Ye Guo and Ye Youhuan, arrive and stand by her side.

"Ye Qiu, I’m asking you one last time, are you really not willing to leave with me?" Zhang Xianwei said in a heavy voice.

"Do I have any relationship with you? Why should I leave with you?" Ye Qiu retorted sarcastically.

"You’ll regret it."

"I only regret ever knowing you."

Zhang Xianwei was so angry that his chest was heaving up and down. Finally, he gave the three siblings a cold glance and then looked at Cheng Ruiting with malice: "President Cheng, no matter what your relationship with Ye Qiu is, I have the obligation to tell you that Ye Qiu was once my woman."

"Can you shut your damn mouth? Even that one time was you forcing me." If it weren’t for taking the situation into account, Ye Qiu really wanted to hit him. How did such a bastard even grow up?

"There’s no need for you to worry, President Zhang. Ye Qiu is doing well, not just anyone is worthy of her." Cheng Ruiting also coldly replied to her.

Ye Youhuan struggled off Ye Guo and dashed to Zhang Xianwei before anyone could react, viciously kicking him with her little foot: "Don’t bully my big sister, or I’ll kick you to death."

"Youhuan." Ye Guo quickly picked her up, scolding, "What if you hurt your foot? Does it hurt?"

"It doesn’t hurt, second brother, this person is really annoying." Ye Youhuan responded crisply.

"As long as it doesn’t hurt, our Youhuan is a good child. Don’t hold grudges against people with problems in their heads, okay?" Ye Guo glanced at Zhang Xianwei with the same cold gaze as Ye Qiu did, clearly also very resentful towards someone who bullied his sister.

Zhang Xianwei, being targeted by so many, got even angrier: "You guys really think you’re something special, President Cheng, since I’m not welcome here, I’ll leave first, do as you like."

"See him out." Cheng Ruiting didn’t even shift his footsteps, obviously unwilling to say another word.

The fool finally left, and Ye Qiu let out a sigh of relief, then apologized to Cheng Ruiting: "I’m sorry, I caused you trouble today."

Cheng Ruiting finally returned to his gentle demeanor and comforted her: "This is not your fault, it’s Zhang Xianwei who’s got something wrong in his head."

Hearing him say that, Ye Qiu chuckled: "He’s indeed not normal, but will today affect your cooperation with them?"

Cheng Ruiting shook his head: "The cooperation is bound by a contract, Zhang Xianwei can’t mess around, and besides, the Zhang family isn’t the only co-rental partner in this world. To me, you’re more important than the cooperation with him."

At this moment, even Ye Youhuan could hear Cheng Ruiting’s meaning. She didn’t know whether to be happy or sad. The one being scolded was her real dad, but her dumb dad did somehow help bring Uncle Cheng and mom closer.

"So embarrassing!" Ye Youhuan covered her eyes, then said to Ye Guo, "Second brother, let’s not be third wheels, I want to eat ice cream."

Ye Guo smiled and patted her little bottom: "What a little rascal."

Then he took Ye Youhuan away, leaving the space for the two of them.

"Sorry, they might have misunderstood." Ye Qiu fiddled with her hair, smiling wryly.

"No, they didn’t misunderstand." Cheng Ruiting said very seriously to her, "I might not have expressed myself clearly just now, Ye Qiu, you know how I feel about you, let’s date."

Ye Qiu opened her mouth, then sighed helplessly: "I thought we could be lifelong friends."

"It’s because I’m afraid we can’t even be good friends that I’ve never expressed my feelings."

"Then why are you saying this now?"

"Because I was just really angry, and I want to protect you in a better way."

"But our identities are worlds apart." Ye Qiu gently refused.

"Am I not good enough for you? I will work hard to change." Cheng Ruiting’s expression was serious.

Ye Qiu smiled wryly: "You know that’s not what I mean, I’m just an ordinary woman, and I’ve been through some unbearable things."

"In my eyes, you’re not ordinary at all, and those things you mentioned are not your fault, and I don’t mind."

After saying this, seeing that she didn’t immediately agree, Cheng Ruiting sighed lightly: "I’ll give you time to think about it, but no matter the outcome, don’t avoid me, okay? Please give me more opportunities to prove myself, I don’t want you to think that I’m only confessing to you out of sympathy."

"Alright, no matter what, you’re still welcome to come over for dinner."

"Then tomorrow I want fish head tofu and oil-braised large shrimp."

"I guess no one outside would expect that the dignified President Cheng’s favorite is small, homemade dishes."

"Homemade dishes aren’t simple, and not everyone gets to taste your cooking."

With that, he slowly extended his right hand and smiled very gentlemanly: "Miss Ye, may I have the honor to invite you for a dance?"

"Sure." Ye Qiu didn’t refuse, and the two entered the dance floor, instantly causing a stir.

Cheng Ruiting, though gentle with his employees, had never danced with any woman during annual gatherings. Someone once asked him why, and he said he only danced with someone he liked, so this means this is the woman President Cheng likes?

Colleagues couldn’t help but marvel at their boss’s great taste, be it in temperament or looks, the future boss’s lady was top-notch.

"Second brother, do you think Uncle Cheng succeeded?" Ye Youhuan whispered.

"I don’t know." Ye Guo shook his head, "But it doesn’t seem too bad."

"Second brother, do you know who that person who was bothering big sister is? Why is he so annoying?"

"His name is Zhang Xianwei, you just need to know he’s a lunatic, he once hurt sister badly and even threatened to take revenge on us, that’s why our whole family moved to Luocheng."

Ye Guo paused for a moment after speaking: "Luckily, he’s not a good person; otherwise, how would we have come to Luocheng and found you, our little cutie?"

"That’s true." Ye Youhuan giggled, then brushed off Zhang Xianwei from her mind.

Anyway, in her past life, she didn’t have a good relationship with him either. While mom was still around, she didn’t like how he always falsely blamed and tormented mom, causing her young heart great harm. After mom was gone, she couldn’t even be bothered to talk to him.

Maybe the current state is the best. In this life, she no longer has any blood relation with him, but can always stay by mom’s side, and mom can also find someone who truly loves and cares for her.

She’s heard enough of such talk today. Don’t say she’s heartless, but originally she was the closest to her mom, and what role did her dad play in her life anyway?

May everyone live well in this life, separately. Her selfish and arrogant dad only ever loved himself. He has no right to hurt mom again, and she’s also pleased that mom’s personality isn’t as weak and unrepentant as before; a little temper makes one more lovable.
