"Of course, I definitely have to go. I need to tell your family what a heartless philanderer you are to let Miao Xuanxuan know."

Song Xiaodong chuckled, "Alright, you go ahead."

Qiao Yutong asked skeptically, "Aren't you afraid I'll complain about you?"

Song Xiaodong scratched his nose. Qiao Yutong didn't know what his family was like currently. If she saw all those women at his house, she might get so overwhelmed with her sense of justice that she'd consider turning him into a eunuch. He said, "No worries, it's just that I'm not afraid of more lice when I've got too many, and I'm not worried about more debts when I have plenty."

"Ugh, you're shameless." Qiao Yutong sneered, then glanced at the bedroom door, "Are you planning to stay here?"

"No, I'll be going home in a while. I'm just here at the hotel to treat my sister's illness."

"Oh, alright then, let's go together. I want to supervise you and see if you're lying."

Song Xiaodong laughed, "You just want to check out my home's location, don't you?"

"Ugh, you're overthinking it. I don't believe she's your cousin at all. She must be someone you're dating; I can't let her be ruined by you. But actually, she seems like quite the rebellious girl, you two seem a perfect match in your antics, so I won't bother with you."

Qiao Yutong shot Song Xiaodong a huge eye-roll, then turned and walked towards the door, "I've got to say, you've really lost your touch lately. The girls you used to date at least had some standards. Now you even go for someone like this; I despise you."

"Hey, where are you going now?"

"Going home after work, obviously. It's all your fault, you jerk, making me work overtime again." After saying that, Qiao Yutong opened the door and left.

"So you're not coming to my place?"

"I couldn't care less about going." With that, Qiao Yutong slammed the door shut.

Song Xiaodong didn't chase after her. His relationship with Qiao Yutong was always special; they argued more than they got along, yet there always seemed to be a hint of intimacy.

This kind of relationship had its own unique charm.

Returning to the bedroom, Qiao Yunxi said, "How do you have such a cop friend? She's just too much."

Song Xiaodong laughed, "Though she has a bad temper, she's a good cop, full of righteousness."

"Well, I don't like her." Qiao Yunxi made no effort to hide her dislike for Qiao Yutong.

"Alright, let's not talk about her. Let's head home. It'll be good for you to rest there."

"This... okay." Qiao Yunxi hesitated but agreed. The house made her uneasy, but she was excited about what Song Xiaodong might have planned for her, so she could endure a bit of discomfort.

On their way back, Shen Dongyang called.

"Uncle Shen, calling so late, is there something going on?" Song Xiaodong asked directly.

Shen Dongyang also got straight to the point, "There is a small issue. Did you have some unpleasantness with Zhao Guangjun's son from Shunda Company?"

Song Xiaodong replied, "Yes, that guy is very annoying. He drugged my sister."

"Zhao Guangjun told me what happened. He even beat up his son. I know he didn't teach him well, and that Zhao Xiaolong does need some correction, but..."

"Uncle Shen, just tell me what you mean." Song Xiaodong said directly.

"It's like this, Shunda Company is also a major taxpayer in Minghe City, with many employees. If there is a big upheaval, it wouldn't be good for the city, so... I was hoping you could downplay this matter?"

Shen Dongyang spoke cautiously. If not for the concerns about Shunda Company's employees, he wouldn't have vouched for them. But as a mayor, he didn't want to see a major company causing significant disruption.

Song Xiaodong looked at Qiao Yunxi, then said, "Uncle Shen, of course I'll give you face. The company can continue in Minghe, but I don't want Zhao Xiaolong there."

Shen Dongyang said, "I understand. I'll pass your words along. I believe he'll manage to satisfy you. Thanks, Little Song, for saving face for me."

Song Xiaodong said, "Uncle Shen, you're too polite. Of all people, I can't refuse to give you face."

Even though he hadn't actually been with Shen Yue, they were quite intimate, missing only the final step. So, Shen Dongyang was half like his future father-in-law, of course, he had to show respect.

"Haha, alright then, when you have time, chat more with Little Yue. I feel bad for her being over there. No matter what we say, talking to you makes her happier."

Song Xiaodong said, "I know, I plan to visit there soon and will check on Little Yue then."

"Great, I won't keep you any longer. I'll go talk to Zhao Guangjun."

After hanging up, Song Xiaodong told Qiao Yunxi, "Yunxi, I was planning on taking down Zhao Xiaolong's family company to give you justice, but since Uncle Shen intervened, I couldn't ignore his request."

Qiao Yunxi blinked, her mouth twitching, "Because of me, you wanted to bankrupt his family company?"

Song Xiaodong nodded, "Yes, don't forget, you're my Dragon Gate Princess. Anyone who disrespects you disrespects Dragon Gate. How could I let them get away with it?"
