Zhao Xiao clings to Ye Tianjing, refusing to return home for fear of an arranged marriage. Despite her persistence, Ye Tianjing insists on sending her away and tests her resolve by claiming to be heavily in debt, unaware that Ye Ranran has already settled his debts.

Zhao Xiao shook her head insistently, stating, "No, even if that’s the situation, I still like you. I will face the difficult times with you."

She was absolutely certain that Ye Ranran would not stand idly by.

With Ye Ranran present, securing a hundred million would pose no difficulty at all.

Undeniably, Zhao Xiao possessed a rather ingenious mind.

However, her rapidly darting eyes once again betrayed her true intentions.

"I suggest you abandon those trivial schemes. How about this: you spend a month accompanying my parents. If you can endure the hardships, I will agree to be with you. What do you say?"

Zhao Xiao looked up, her eyes brimming with hope, and asked, "Really?"

"Really."

If she could genuinely persevere, he would grant her a chance.

In truth, Ye Tianjing was aware that he ought to consider marriage. Yet, at present, he possessed nothing substantial. How could he possibly get married?

Most importantly, he had yet to encounter the right person.

Ye Tianjing had been in a few relationships, all arranged by his family. As for the women he dated in college, those were merely for amusement.

He never allowed himself to become emotionally invested.

Like Ye Ranran or Jun Mochan, he had never experienced anything truly unforgettable.

He believed that such profound connections could not be forced; some individuals might never find them in a lifetime. When the time comes for marriage, dating, finding someone compatible, suitable, and comfortable, and living out one's life in that manner.

There was nothing inherently wrong with that approach.

As for seeking something passionate and dramatic, he was older now and truly could no longer appreciate such theatrics.

"Alright, I’ll go," Zhao Xiao responded with evident excitement.

To her, this presented a significant opportunity. If she could win over his parents and gain their approval, she was confident Ye Tianjing would eventually marry her.

"Put on your clothes, stay here for the night, and we'll head over tomorrow. Regarding your job, put it on hold for now; you can sort it out upon your return."

Even if she retained her current employment, in her present condition, she would likely struggle to manage it effectively.

Rather than making mistakes, she might as well pursue what she desired.

Ye Ranran employed a weekly cleaner, ensuring the guest room was consistently tidy. Only the bedding needed attention.

"You'll sleep in the guest room. The quilt is in the wardrobe, and toiletries are in the bathroom. Stay here tonight and we'll depart tomorrow."

"Okay," Zhao Xiao cheerfully agreed.

Upon returning to his room, Ye Tianjing placed a call to his father.

"Dad, Ranran is concerned about you and has arranged for a young lady to look after you."

Ye's father remained silent for a moment before replying, "Understood."

"Hmm, how have you and Mom been recently?"

Due to his demanding work schedule, Ye Tianjing seldom visited home. Holidays were spent with Ye Ranran, resulting in him returning only about twice a year.

Each visit invariably led to his mother causing a scene, insisting he not return.

Ye Tianjing found these encounters quite tiresome.

However, she was his mother, and he couldn't completely disregard her, so he endured it.

"We're fine, nothing significant. You take care of yourself over there, try your best to endure, and don't act rashly," Ye's father advised.

In reality, he wasn't entirely enthusiastic about Ye Tianjing's potential visit either.

Yet, he perceived the situation with a slightly clearer perspective than Ye's mother.

Ye Tianjing was occupied with setting up stalls daily; how could he possibly achieve anything substantial? If he intended to make a comeback, he would still need to rely on Ye Ranran.

Should Ye Ranran cease her suppression and offer him an avenue of escape, then he might have a chance.

"I will. Well then, Dad, if there's nothing else, you should get some rest early."

Ye Tianjing knew that at this hour, Ye's mother would likely be asleep. If they were to wake her, peace would be utterly shattered.

After ending the call, Ye Tianjing dialed Ye Ranran.

Ye Ranran had just settled down to sleep when her phone rang. Groggily, she answered it.
