Overconfident in his poisonous schemes, Wang Qianjun was outplayed by Liu Qiankun, whose wife revealed she had poisoned Wang Qianjun, not Liu Qiankun. Liu Qiankun further revealed he had his wife poison Wang Qianjun with an untreatable toxin. With his plans ruined and his most trusted subordinate turned against him, Wang Qianjun surrendered his family's assets and left, unaware that Liu Qiankun intended to silence his complicit wife.

The flight from Barona to East Sea spanned sixteen arduous hours.

For the entirety of that duration, Ye Xuan remained lost in a deep slumber.

As the international flight’s powerful engines gradually fell silent upon its touchdown at East Sea International Airport, Ye Xuan stirred from his profound sleep, feeling utterly refreshed and revitalized.

"Life as a man is fraught with challenges, and the abundance of captivating women only complicates matters further."

With a languid stretch, Ye Xuan let out a sigh tinged with a hint of wistful contemplation.

The moment his sigh faded into the air.

Two gazes, sharp and unwelcoming like piercing daggers, fixed upon him.

Ye Xuan, possessing an acute awareness of his surroundings, instantly detected the shift in atmosphere. He offered a sheepish grin towards Lin Tong and Leng Qiuge, quickly amending, "I meant that having too many beautiful women to look at can be quite an overwhelming experience!"

Despite having slept through the period when Lin Tong and Leng Qiuge were actively mending their fractured friendship, Ye Xuan was intimately familiar with the 'script' of their interactions. Observing the expressions on their faces, he could tell that their reconciliation appeared to be successful.

As the primary architect of this delicate situation, Ye Xuan understood the necessity of playing his part flawlessly. After all, if these two exquisite women were to become displeased, what future would he have in the villa?

"Hmph, you pervert!" Lin Tong scoffed, averting her gaze.

"You scoundrel!"

Leng Qiuge retorted, her attention then returning to the cherished Little Cloud, whom she regarded with the affection one might reserve for a heavenly angel.

Ye Xuan simply shrugged with feigned indifference, inwardly acknowledging, 'As long as you two are content, I will endure any hardship!'

Before long, the four members of Ye Xuan’s party emerged from the airport terminal.

"The air here in East Sea is truly unparalleled!"

Ye Xuan inhaled deeply, his eyes swiftly scanning the dispersing crowd until they landed upon Liu Ying and Chi Lian.

The sheer radiance of these two women was undeniable; even amidst the bustling throng at the airport entrance, they stood out with an extraordinary grace, like rare phoenixes amidst a flock of sparrows.

"Brother Black Emperor!"

Upon spotting Ye Xuan, Chi Lian, typically exuding an aura of aloofness and formidable presence, transformed instantly into an eager admirer, rushing towards him with palpable excitement.

Liu Ying, accustomed to such displays, followed gracefully.

Lin Tong was also quite used to Chi Lian's behavior.

Only the innocent Little Cloud voiced her bewilderment: "Sister Beauty is acting so strangely; when Daddy isn't around, she's usually so stern and quiet. But when Daddy appears, she becomes a completely different person. Aunt Leng, why is that?"

While flipping through her book, Leng Qiuge, holding Little Cloud in her arms, found herself unable to provide an answer, as she didn't know Chi Lian well enough.

However, Chi Lian, who had already reached Ye Xuan, overheard Little Cloud's innocent question and responded with mock displeasure, "Little Cloud, how many times must I remind you? I am your aunt; you should address me as Aunt Lou!"

Leng Qiuge blinked in surprise.

In this day and age, did women genuinely take pleasure in referring to themselves with terms that implied age?

A moment later, a flash of insight sparked in Leng Qiuge’s eyes as she began to scrutinize Chi Lian. With her fair complexion, captivating beauty, youthful features, and undeniable allure, Chi Lian's distinctive and commanding presence seamlessly blended an edge of sharpness with an underlying gentleness. A silent conclusion formed: she must be involved with Ye Xuan in some capacity.

Little Cloud stuck out her tiny tongue playfully: "Aunt Lou, please don't be upset. Little Cloud didn't mean anything by it. I promise to address you correctly next time!"

"That's more like it."

Chi Lian, looking pleased, gently pinched Little Cloud's nose before turning her attention back to Ye Xuan, her expression marred by a hint of complaint. "Brother Black Emperor, you really are too much. Why didn't you inform me earlier about your plans? Do you have any idea how close I came to fighting for my life in America and Australia?"

"Indeed! I was terribly worried, rushing across two continents and still unable to secure a suitable partnership. I almost considered ending it all out of sheer despair!" Liu Ying, who had caught up at a slightly slower pace, also voiced her frustration towards Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan had initially intended to offer an explanation, but upon remembering that he had already done so over the phone, his motivation to speak waned considerably.

He was truly enduring a difficult time!

"We can discuss this in the car."

Lin Tong, feeling a pang of sympathy for Ye Xuan enduring such a verbal onslaught, calmly suggested, then began walking towards the parking lot.

A wave of warmth spread through Ye Xuan’s heart.

Truly, his wife was invariably the one who cherished him the most; all the other women were merely alluring temptations, seemingly eager to drain him dry!

Shortly thereafter, the five adults and one child piled into the luxurious Maserati.

As the sole male occupant in the car, enveloped by the delightful fragrances of the four beauties, Ye Xuan contemplated opening a window to let in some fresh air.

However, Liu Ying interjected at that precise moment: "The air conditioning is on, please don't open the window."

Ye Xuan: "..."

Damn it, Liu Ying! Who even turned on the AC? It's the relatively warm winter season in East Sea; why would you need to open a car window?

Ye Xuan quickly realized this was likely Liu Ying's clever retaliation. This woman harbored a significant amount of resentment, having been deliberately placed in a precarious situation by Ye Xuan during his recent operation, and she was determined to make him pay for it later.

Enchantresses, when will you ever cease your machinations!

Adding to the chilling atmosphere was Lin Tong's silence this time, a stark contrast to her usual defense of Ye Xuan. With so many women packed into the car, even if she harbored guilt towards Ye Xuan, a sense of indignation still surfaced.

The flowers were all drawn to you; no matter how enticing their fragrance seems or how foolishly you feel drawn to it, you must restrain yourself!

Suddenly, Lin Tong broke the silence: "Liu Ying, what's the status of Eastern Group's situation?"

"What else could it be? It's bound to be thriving," Liu Ying responded with a smile. "In just a few days, the stock market has hit daily surge limits, the company's market value has soared, and all major investors in Yan Country are extending olive branches, offering us financing."

Lin Tong nodded; this was indeed welcome news.

Currently, Eastern Group has forged a strategic collaboration with the Carter Family. For such a massive undertaking, the mere 40 billion is far from sufficient.

At these junctures, capital from influential financiers becomes essential.

Liu Ying continued, "Eastern Group's moment of glory is on the horizon. Ostensibly, we've only focused on developing three main sectors: cosmetics, jewelry, and building materials. However, other businesses are also reaping benefits, particularly the new energy and skincare sectors, both of which are showing exceptionally promising growth."

"Excellent," Lin Tong nodded once more. "The future prospects for both the new energy and skincare industries have always been outstanding, with the new energy sector being the ultimate ambition for Eastern Group. The successful execution of this plan is laying a robust foundation for Eastern Group's future endeavors."

Liu Ying smiled but offered no further comments. She was well aware that Eastern Group placed the greatest emphasis on the burgeoning new energy sector in the future, yet she had no intention of prying for more specific reasons.

Even within a family, there exist certain intimate secrets that one should not investigate too deeply.

As if recalling something, Lin Tong inquired again: "Now that Nightingale Group is technically no longer affiliated with you, what are your future plans?"

"You are the head of the household, and your word is law." Liu Ying chuckled charmingly. "Regardless, I'm like a contented salted fish; ideally, I'd wish for you to allow me to spend my days with Little Cloud, living a life free from worry."

Lin Tong cast a glance at Liu Ying.

Liu Ying shrugged with a hint of helplessness. "Alright, I believe the Vice President position at Eastern Group would suit me perfectly fine."

Lin Tong showed a flicker of surprise.

Leng Qiuge, Liu Ying's childhood friend, interjected at this opportune moment: "Liu Ying, you shouldn't take that position! Little Tong intends for Ye Xuan to have it!"
