Beautiful CEO's Top Expert

Time has flown by swiftly, and in the blink of an eye, the holiday season has arrived!

Due to the holiday, Qiu Ruoxi has found some leisure time. Taking advantage of the Spring Festival break, Qiu Ruoxi went shopping with Wang Mama and Wang Zilin. As for Ye Xunhuan, Qiu Ruoxi didn’t bother about him nor did she suggest taking Ye Xunhuan shopping. Ye Xunhuan was quite content with this arrangement.

Qiu Ruoxi took Wang Mama and Wang Zilin shopping with the intent of buying them some clothes. After all, with the Spring Festival approaching, Qiu Ruoxi felt she ought to get Wang Mama and Wang Zilin a set of outfits.

Additionally, Qiu Ruoxi needed to prepare some items for a trip to the capital. As it’s the Spring Festival, she couldn’t possibly visit the Qin family empty-handed.

Thus, Qiu Ruoxi was fully engaged in preparing gifts and some New Year’s groceries.

However, to Ye Xunhuan, all of this seemed to have no relation to him. At this moment, Ye Xunhuan was enjoying himself at Su Guyan’s villa, resting his head on Su Guyan’s lap, basking in the sun by the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking relaxed and content.

"Will you be going back to the capital for the Spring Festival?" Su Guyan asked softly.

"Yeah!" Ye Xunhuan looked at Su Guyan, who was so close to him, with a smile of happiness on his face. "What about you, are you going to the capital as well?"

"I’m not sure yet. I’ll decide when the time comes," Su Guyan said uncertainly. "If I decide to go, I’ll give you a call."

With Su Guyan’s uncertain response, Ye Xunhuan didn’t push further on the subject but shifted the topic instead. "Do you think I should visit Yu Rou’s parents before heading to the capital?"

Ye Xunhuan often mentioned visiting Tang Yurou’s parents but never acted on it. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to, but he was afraid!

He genuinely feared that Tang Yurou’s parents would chase him out with a broom.

Even though Tang Yurou had assured Ye Xunhuan that her parents hadn’t said anything, Ye Xunhuan understood well. No parents wish for their daughter to become someone’s mistress, especially in a society that values monogamy.

Su Guyan chuckled softly, "I can’t help you with that issue, but isn’t Tang Yurou coming back for the Spring Festival?"

"I called Yu Rou, but she couldn’t say for sure now," Ye Xunhuan said helplessly. "And even if she comes back, I’ll likely be in the capital already."

"Actually, you could suggest Tang Yurou bring her parents to the capital for the New Year, and then decide whether to visit them afterward," Su Guyan offered Ye Xunhuan a rather reasonable suggestion.

Ye Xunhuan pondered briefly, finding that Su Guyan’s suggestion made a lot of sense.

"You always have solutions."

"You’ve thought of it too, you just weren’t sure how viable it was," Su Guyan remarked mildly. "You wanted me to mention it so it could validate your thoughts."

Ye Xunhuan chuckled, "Nothing escapes your notice."

"But doesn’t asking me make you worry about hurting my feelings?" Su Guyan asked softly. "After all, people are possessive by nature, yet here I am planning how to win favor with another woman’s parents."

"Worried!" Ye Xunhuan admitted honestly. "But besides you, I don’t know whom else to ask, and only your suggestions seem feasible to me!"

Ye Xunhuan had absolute trust in Su Guyan. This was beyond question. Moreover, he knew well that Su Guyan’s gentle and tranquil nature wouldn’t easily get upset.

Su Guyan looked at Ye Xunhuan with deep affection for a moment. "You’ve got a hold on me tightly for a lifetime."

"Me too!" Ye Xunhuan looked at Su Guyan with a smile. "Guyan, if you’re not going to the capital, you can meet up with Xiao Jiu and Dongfang Shu Fei, and you guys can spend the New Year together!"

"A lively get-together would be nice."

Su Guyan smiled and nodded, "I’ll see then."

"By the way, isn’t He Sichan still abroad? Is she coming back for the Spring Festival?"

"Yes, she’s coming back," Ye Xunhuan replied softly. "But she seems to be attending some Spring Festival Gala. I don’t know the full details."

He Sichan wasn’t the same as she was before. Now, she was a big star. Though her fame didn’t yet rival the top-tier celebrities, she had entered the ranks of second-tier stars. With time and her unique resources, He Sichan’s rise to first-tier stardom was only a matter of time.

Su Guyan knew about He Sichan’s circumstances too, as Su Guyan was involved in the entertainment industry. So, hearing Ye Xunhuan mention it brought no further questions from Su Guyan.

"By the way, do you have any news about Han Qing?"

Su Guyan was aware of Mei Hanqing’s mysterious disappearance, and she did try searching for Mei Hanqing but found no traces — Mei Hanqing seemed to have vanished into thin air.

Bringing up Mei Hanqing made Ye Xunhuan’s expression turn slightly somber.

He had searched for Mei Hanqing tirelessly, employing every possible method, yet the efforts proved fruitless with no news whatsoever.

Seeing Ye Xunhuan’s expression, Su Guyan knew the answer and sighed sympathetically, "I believe Han Qing will return. Don’t worry too much about her."

"I understand," Ye Xunhuan murmured. "But mentioning Han Qing reminds me that I need to visit the welfare center and check on the kids and the old director!"

...

Meanwhile, in the Middle East, a woman in leather clothes and trousers, wearing custom-made boots, dashed swiftly amidst the artillery fire like lightning. The blade in her hand flashed like a meteor, catching people off guard.

With every swift move of the blade by the woman’s hand, crimson blood spewed forth like a fountain, followed by bodies falling into the pool of blood.

Yet, the woman showed no hint of pity. Her face remained devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

The woman executed her moves swiftly, imbuing her blade with life itself, wielding it with realistic precision.

"Slash!"

The woman’s blade slit the throat of a bald man standing before her, crimson blood gushed forth, and he collapsed to the ground.

Just after the woman killed the bald man, a burly middle-aged man with a punk hairstyle appeared not far in front of the woman!

"Enchantress, you’ve killed so many of my brothers. Today, you won’t leave here alive!" The middle-aged man glared coldly at the woman.

The enchantress chuckled softly, then, tantalizingly, licked her red lips with her alluring lavender tongue. "Not only will I leave, but I’ll take your head with me!"
