“If the person really wasn’t killed by him, I mean, what if he’s innocent, are you really going to let him off?” Thirteen asked, unconvinced.

“Let him off? How would I be able to mix in the domestic circles if I did? People would surely talk behind my back, saying I didn’t even resist when someone stepped on my head. Do you think I could still get by in our country?” He Mengji said icily.

“Then why did you treat him that way just now?” Thirteen asked, puzzled.

“Thirteen, after following me for so long, don’t you know my style?” He Mengji felt very disappointed and said, “Since the other party wants to play, we’ll play with him. Revenge doesn’t necessarily have to be served with a frown and murderous intent; it can also be executed with a smile.”

“Miss, you are wise,” Thirteen admired.

After leaving the cafe, Yang Xinyi called and gave Ye Xiong a thorough scolding. She also said she would slaughter him if he dared to scratch her car.

He talked her round with much persuasion and flattery.

In the blink of an eye, more than a week passed. During this time, Ye Xiong received no sign of revenge from He Mengji, but he didn’t dare to let his guard down.

The more passive the other party was, the more uneasy he became.

This woman was not as brainless as He Haodong.

After several months of restructuring, business at the hotel began to boom, and all departments were operating well.

In the hotel, everyone was swamped with work, except for him, the hands-off manager, who was the most comfortable one around.

Every day, he strolled around the hotel with his hands behind his back, looking important, and then he clocked out.

He was living quite a comfortable life.

Once back home, Ye Xiong dared not talk much with Yang Xinyi. He either went back to his room early or came back home very late, fearing that she would bring up divorce again.

On this weekend, as Ye Xiong was strolling through the hotel, he suddenly heard a familiar voice.

“Uncle, what are you doing here?” Youyou appeared in the hotel with her grandfather.

“Uncle works at this hotel, helping your mom out, so naturally, I’m here,” Ye Xiong said with a smile, turning to greet Youyou’s grandfather, “Uncle Ruan, how are you? My name is Ye Xiong.”

Youyou’s grandfather, Ruan Daobin, had handed over the company’s affairs to Du Yuehua and taken refuge with his granddaughter after his son Ruan Jingyang got into trouble.

Ruan Daobin, a simple man of peasant origin, didn’t know how to do business, let alone how to cope with the treachery of the business world, so he entrusted all matters of the hotel to Du Yuehua and focused solely on looking after his granddaughter.

“Thank you for saving Youyou. I don’t know what I would have done if it weren’t for you,” Ruan Daobin said gratefully.

“It was just a small effort, not worth mentioning. By the way, did Youyou find a kindergarten?”

“Yes, she did. Today is Sunday, and she insisted on coming, so I brought her to the hotel to play,” Ruan Daobin said.

“Youyou, come to uncle, let me give you a hug,” Ye Xiong reached out his arms.

Youyou gave him a big hug and whispered in his ear, “Uncle Xiong, you know my mom.”

“Yes.”

“Then it will be easier.”

“Easier for what?”

“To chase after my mom!” Youyou blinked her large eyes.

Uh!

Ye Xiong was speechless; this little kid worried so much about her mom. They had just met, and she was already trying to set him up with her mom.

He’d already won her over, for goodness’ sake!

“Youyou, let me take you to see your mom,” Ye Xiong picked her up.

“Sure!”

Perhaps knowing Youyou would come, Du Yuehua wasn’t surprised to see Youyou, but she did falter for a moment when she saw Ye Xiong holding her.

In the past, her husband Ruan Jingyang had also held their daughter this way.

“Mommy, Youyou has come to see you.” Youyou jumped down from Ye Xiong’s arms and rushed over.

“Youyou is so good. Come here, let mommy give you a kiss.”

Du Yuehua picked up her daughter and kissed her face several times, her smile blooming like a flower.

“Mommy, Uncle Ye saved my life last time. Shouldn’t we invite him for a meal?” Youyou asked, blinking her eyes.

“We should indeed invite him for a meal, but the question is whether Uncle Ye would accept?” Du Yuehua said with a smile.

Youyou turned her head to look at Ye Xiong.

Ye Xiong was really defeated by this little girl. Was she trying to play matchmaker?

“Having a meal is fine, but this time, Uncle will treat,” Ye Xiong said with a smile.

“Yay!”

Youyou jumped up happily.

Watching her happy expression, Du Yuehua and Ye Xiong exchanged a knowing glance and smiled at each other.

After playing in the office for a while, Youyou left with her grandfather to tour the hotel. Once the two had gone, Du Yuehua said happily, “I was initially worried that you and Youyou wouldn’t get along, but now it seems that my worries were unnecessary.”

“Youyou is a very sensible girl. She knows her mother works hard. As long as you’re happy, she will be happy,” Ye Xiong praised.

“Maybe children without fathers grow up sensible earlier,” Du Yuehua sighed wistfully, looking at Ye Xiong with an unspoken sadness in her eyes.

Ye Xiong hugged her and kissed her face, saying, “If you’re willing, I can become Youyou’s father.”

“Really?” Du Yuehua trembled.

Ye Xiong nodded.

He was not like most men. He didn’t care about virginity or whether the child was his biological offspring.

During his years in the Reaper Squad, he didn’t know how many people he had killed or how many hardships he had endured. His way of thinking simply wasn’t the same as ordinary people’s.

In his mind, being alive was best and being stable was best.

As for whether Youyou was his own child or whether Du Yuehua had been married, he didn’t care at all.

His only concern now was that he had started to like Yang Xinyi a bit and didn’t know how to choose for a while.

But when he saw Youyou just then, he suddenly wanted to give this smart and beautiful girl a good future, so he agreed to Du Yuehua’s request without a second thought.

Du Yuehua was so moved she was nearly in tears, holding onto him tightly.

In that instant, she felt that all the hardships she’d faced before were worth it, as long as this man was by her side, it was enough.

“Why did he suddenly make such a decision?” Du Yuehua asked while holding him.

“Your daughter taught me,” he replied.

“How did Youyou teach you?” Du Yuehua was curious.

“Youyou said, whoever marries her mother will be ‘settled for life’ decades sooner. I thought it over and yeah, it’s true. Not having to worry about food or clothes for the rest of my life, plus getting a ‘buy one get one free’ deal, that’s really economical!” Ye Xiong calculated like a petty trader.

“You’re terrible, I’m not talking to you anymore.” Du Yuehua punched him playfully.

“I’m only bad for you to see,” Ye Xiong said with a laugh.
