"Who here doesn't know Ye Xiao." The woman said with a smile.

Ye Xiao couldn't help but be taken aback and said, "I haven't become a celebrity yet, is my fame that high?"

"I don't know how famous you are outside, but here, you're definitely well-known." The woman chuckled.

At this moment, Zheng Lingshan immediately grabbed the woman's arm and said, "Sister Ting."

Sister Ting chuckled and didn't change what she was saying despite Zheng Lingshan pulling her.

"One day, Shanshan was dozing off here and shouted in her dream, 'Ye Xiao, don't go.'"

When Sister Ting said this, Zheng Lingshan's beautiful face turned as red as a ripe apple, bowing her head, too embarrassed to speak.

"So that's how it is!" Ye Xiao couldn't help but give a soft laugh upon hearing this.

"No... it's not what you guys think!" Zheng Lingshan defended herself once more.

But at this time, Sister Ting felt as though she had completed her mission after saying those words, so she said, "I remember I have something to do, so you two go ahead and chat."

Zheng Lingshan: "..."

Ye Xiao then looked at Zheng Lingshan with a smile and said, "Shanshan, were you missing me?"

"No!" Zheng Lingshan immediately retorted.

"Then why were you so eager to chase after me in your dream?" Ye Xiao asked.

Zheng Lingshan was at a loss for words and turned even redder.

"Alright, I understand, girls are always so bashful." Ye Xiao smiled and said to Zheng Lingshan, "I get it, let's go."

Zheng Lingshan immediately looked up at Ye Xiao in confusion and asked, "Go where?"

"To see my father-in-law." Ye Xiao said seriously, "Since our matter is almost settled, let's make it official. You know, someone as lovable as me will only become more desirable, and I wouldn't want you to miss out."

Zheng Lingshan felt utterly speechless listening to Ye Xiao.

"Who says we're making it official, you go settle it yourself." Zheng Lingshan puffed her cheeks at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao looked helpless and said, "Shanshan, are you intentionally making it hard for me? Have you ever seen a future son-in-law go alone to meet his future father-in-law? That's bad; I'll get beaten up."

Seeing Ye Xiao's helpless expression, Zheng Lingshan couldn't help but be amused and laughed, saying, "Can you be more serious? If people see, they'll definitely laugh at you."

Ye Xiao smiled slightly and said, "Why be afraid? We love each other, who cares what these ordinary folks say? We must show them what it means to only envy the lovebirds and not the immortals."

"That's enough!" Zheng Lingshan rolled her eyes at Ye Xiao and quickly changed the subject, saying, "Why did you come looking for me?"

"Nothing!" Ye Xiao said.

Zheng Lingshan said, "Why come to me for nothing?"

Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "Didn't you tell me not to go? Of course, I can't leave, otherwise, wouldn't that break your heart too much? So, I heeded the call of your heart and came."

"Then you should go!" Zheng Lingshan said.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiao immediately said, "Alright, since you're telling me to leave, I'll leave. Seems like you dislike me so much, goodbye!"

Zheng Lingshan originally thought Ye Xiao would continue with his playful banter, but unexpectedly, he was really about to leave, so in a moment of panic, she blurted out, "Ye Xiao!"

Ye Xiao instantly turned with a smile to look at Zheng Lingshan and said, "Weren't you telling me to leave? Is there something else?"

Zheng Lingshan had only called out Ye Xiao's name in a moment of panic. But, why did she call him? However, she was quick-witted, and to save herself from the awkward situation, she immediately said, "Weren't you just talking about buying a house? I can help you with that."

"Great, great, perfect for going to the in-laws' to propose. Taking the property deed along would surely increase the success rate." Ye Xiao chuckled.

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Zheng Lingshan was immediately exasperated.

Zheng Lingshan whispered to Ye Xiao, "Can you stop talking about these things? It's very embarrassing in front of my colleagues."

Seeing that Zheng Lingshan seemed genuinely embarrassed, Ye Xiao smiled slightly and said in a low, threatening voice, "If you tell the truth, I'll stop."

Zheng Lingshan immediately said, "I'm definitely telling the truth."

"So, do you miss me?" Ye Xiao chuckled mischievously.

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Zheng Lingshan felt embarrassed again and hastily said, "What are you talking about?"

"Alright, let's talk about the house purchase again." Ye Xiao raised his voice.

The increase in Ye Xiao's voice frightened Zheng Lingshan, who quickly whispered to Ye Xiao, "I do."

"Hehe, how much do you miss me?" Ye Xiao teased again.

Zheng Lingshan became even shyer, not knowing how to respond to Ye Xiao's words, and could only lower her head in silence.

Originally, it was very embarrassing for Zheng Lingshan, but just at that moment, a phone call rescued her from the awkward situation.

Hearing her phone ring, Zheng Lingshan eagerly picked it up, seeing that it was Feng Jiao calling, and quickly answered.

"Cousin!" Zheng Lingshan immediately said to Feng Jiao on the phone.

Feng Jiao had nothing much to do today, and since it was close to the end of her work hours, she was passing by and thought of Zheng Lingshan working here, so she called Zheng Lingshan.

"Shanshan, I'm just passing by where you work," Feng Jiao said, "so I came by to visit."

"Ah?" Zheng Lingshan was startled when she heard Feng Jiao was coming, especially with Ye Xiao standing here, wouldn't Feng Jiao see them and get the wrong idea? She quickly said, "Cousin, I'm quite busy here, so..."

"Whose phone is it?" Ye Xiao overheard Zheng Lingshan calling the person on the phone cousin, so he almost guessed who it was, and intentionally leaned close to Zheng Lingshan to ask.

At this moment, Feng Jiao on the phone suddenly heard Ye Xiao's voice and immediately questioned Zheng Lingshan, "Shanshan, why do I hear Ye Xiao's voice?"

"Uh..." Zheng Lingshan glanced at Ye Xiao, helplessly, but since she had already been exposed, there was nothing she could do, so she said, "He's here."

"Great, I have something to ask him," Feng Jiao said to Zheng Lingshan. "I'll hang up first, I'll be there soon."

Before Zheng Lingshan could speak, the call had already ended.

"Who was it?" Ye Xiao asked again.

Zheng Lingshan said, "Cousin Feng Jiao."

"Ah, it's Officer Feng. Looks like we have quite the connection, running into her even here," Ye Xiao chuckled.

A coincidence?

Alright then!

It wasn't long before Feng Jiao walked in, but she wasn't wearing her police uniform today. Instead, she wore casual clothes, an elegant sky-blue outfit, making her appear energetic.

"Hi, Officer Feng!" Ye Xiao greeted Feng Jiao with a smile.

"Mr. Ye!" Feng Jiao greeted Ye Xiao courteously.

"I almost forgot that Officer Feng is Shanshan's cousin. Truly, this Jinling District is quite small," Ye Xiao smiled and said, "Alright, you guys chat, I won't disturb you."

Ye Xiao said this while making a gesture to leave, not planning to stay, unsure of what might happen if he stuck around.

"Wait a minute!" Feng Jiao called out as Ye Xiao seemed to be leaving, "I actually wanted to discuss something with you."

"Oh?" Ye Xiao said, "What does Officer Feng need from me? If I can help, I'd be happy to oblige."

Officer Feng said, "Let's discuss outside."

Ye Xiao hesitated momentarily and said, "Officer Feng, I know I'm quite charming, but your straightforwardness is catching me off guard."

Ye Xiao's words made Feng Jiao a bit puzzled, but as she pondered them, her face turned slightly red, and she quickly said, "You've misunderstood, I'm genuinely here for business."

"Cousin, Ye Xiao is always like this, never serious, who knows which words are the truth," Zheng Lingshan said.

Ye Xiao immediately laughed and said, "Going to the in-laws' home is a serious matter."

"Going to the in-laws' home?" Feng Jiao looked at Zheng Lingshan in surprise and said, "You two have already..."

Zheng Lingshan blushed and quickly said, "Cousin, would you believe him?"

Feng Jiao looked at Zheng Lingshan, then at Ye Xiao, feeling amused yet helpless, and then said, "Mr. Ye, let's go have a talk."

"Alright!" Ye Xiao said with a smile, then added to Zheng Lingshan, "Shanshan, we'll chat later."

"I'm going to have dinner with colleagues later, so don't come over."

Ye Xiao immediately turned serious and asked, "Which guy is it? I'll take him down for competing for my girl?"

"They're all women, no men," Zheng Lingshan said, exasperated.

"Oh, that's good," Ye Xiao said.

Then he casually walked out.

Feng Jiao and Zheng Lingshan exchanged glances, both showing a face of helplessness.

Feng Jiao followed him out.

Watching Ye Xiao and Feng Jiao leave, Zheng Lingshan quietly sighed. In truth, if Ye Xiao insisted on following, she wouldn't entirely refuse.

"Officer Feng, what's the matter? Go ahead," Ye Xiao looked at Feng Jiao with a smile, his eyes shamelessly scanning her outfit, wondering why Feng Jiao seemed to prefer tight clothes, enhancing her figure with a lively effect.

"Two matters: first, I've been acting as your messenger for a few days now. I want to know if something is about to happen to the Jinling District Guard Bureau," Feng Jiao, not noticing Ye Xiao's gaze, looked seriously into the distance as she spoke.

"Actually, if the clothes were loose, it wouldn't be so tight, which would improve circulation," Ye Xiao said with a serious look.

Feng Jiao found Ye Xiao's words strange and asked, "What?"

"If there's prolonged compression, circulation issues can cause inflammation. As far as I know, that's how breast diseases develop," Ye Xiao said earnestly.

Only then did Feng Jiao understand Ye Xiao's inexplicable remarks, frowned, and glared at Ye Xiao, saying, "Ye Xiao, did you hear what I said?"
