Following Ye Xuan to the spot by the window, Bai Wenrou looked at Ye Xuan again and said, "Ye Xuan, I'm really grateful to you today. If not for your timely arrival, my aunt and I might have been in danger. You saved the two of us and even covered our medical expenses. I really don't know how to thank you!"

Tonight's situation was absolutely perilous. If not for calling Ye Xuan in advance to have him come and help, it would have really been a case of more calamities than blessings. She and Hu Liping might have been assassinated by the black trench coat who broke into the warehouse.

Even if by chance she had managed to take down the black trench coat, they couldn't have escaped the sniper hidden in the dark. How powerful was the sniper? Known as the Grim Reaper on the battlefield, able to kill from a thousand miles away without leaving a trace.

As for her, without Ye Xuan's strong sense of danger and agile speed, it would have been very difficult to escape under the sniper's gun muzzle! The outcome would have been sending herself to death.

So, her gratitude to Ye Xuan now was completely from the heart.

"Alright, seeing that you're truly grateful to me, I'll accept your gratitude!"

Ye Xuan chuckled and waved generously.

Wenrou thought for a moment seriously and said a bit embarrassedly, "Ye Xuan, you've helped me so much, and logically I should properly repay you, but my financial situation is limited, and I can't give you too good a reward! If you don't mind, let me treat you to a meal someday..."

After pausing for a bit, she added: "If you think that's not enough, I can treat you to a few more meals!"

Ye Xuan's eyes turned, and he immediately said, "Alright, then treat me to a meal, but I have an additional condition."

"What condition?" Bai Wenrou asked curiously.

"Have the meal at your home and invite your uncle and aunt too!"

Ye Xuan smiled mischievously, exposing his fox tail.

Bai Wenrou: "..."

Hearing this, she was instantly speechless!

At the same time, she felt very conflicted. Having a meal at her home was no problem, as she had invited Ye Xuan to a meal before, but inviting Hu Liping and Zheng Guofeng too, what did that mean? If someone didn't know, they'd think it was to meet the parents, wouldn't that be dead awkward?

She had never brought any man home before! How would people think about this? Maybe, Hu Liping would once again misunderstand and think she was pursuing Ye Xuan.

"Ye Xuan, do we have to eat at my home and invite my uncle and aunt?"

After hesitating for a while, Bai Wenrou said with some difficulty.

"Yes, do you feel that inviting me to a meal at a restaurant is sincere? Officer Bai, I'm not trying to make things difficult for you, but it's not just you who have to thank me, your uncle and aunt should thank me too! Do you feel comfortable not inviting them together? Only by doing this can everyone's gratitude be fully expressed, otherwise, it's better not to invite at all!"

Ye Xuan shrugged, with a smiling face.

Bai Wenrou pursed her lips, although she was a bit unwilling, she had to admit that Ye Xuan did have a point!

In bringing down the Qi family, Ye Xuan indeed made a great effort! Now, just publicizing the USB drive matter would clear Zheng Guofeng's name, and he could securely leave prison.

Therefore, Ye Xuan saying he saved her uncle and aunt was completely reasonable.

"Well... alright then! I agree with your decision, but it has to wait until my uncle is released."

After a while of inner conflict, Bai Wenrou could only reluctantly nod in agreement.

"Of course, if your uncle isn't out, there aren't enough people and there's no way to invite me either! I would also feel embarrassed going to your house for dinner." Ye Xuan laughed.

Glancing at the time, Bai Wenrou said to Ye Xuan, "It's already past ten at night, you should go home first, I still need to go look after my aunt."

After speaking, she turned to walk towards the ward.

"Wait a moment! I have one more thing to discuss with you." Ye Xuan suddenly called Bai Wenrou, speaking seriously.

"Hmm? What do you want to discuss?"

Bai Wenrou looked at Ye Xuan with suspicion, seeing his serious face, thinking it was something important.

"Well... ahem! How about being my temporary girlfriend?"

Ye Xuan cleared his throat and rubbed his nose.

"Temporary girlfriend?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Wenrou's eyebrows shot up, she immediately kicked at Ye Xuan, her face turning ice-cold: "Ye, are you insulting me?"

Bai Wenrou had long known that Ye Xuan had a girlfriend, and setting this aside, what was this about a temporary girlfriend?

Did he just want to temporarily own her? How was this different from playing rogue! If Ye Xuan was really such an irresponsible person, this wasn't just an insult to herself; she would also have to seriously reconsider her relationship with him!

"Ahem! Well... don't misunderstand, listen to my explanation! My intentions aren't as indecent as they seem, I just want to solve the problem more directly and effectively." Ye Xuan said helplessly.

"What problem do you want to solve? What does this have to do with me being your temporary girlfriend?"

Bai Wenrou furrowed her brows and said, "Can't you explain it all at once?"

"Actually, it's very simple, I just want to use a simpler and more effective method to deal with Qi Bin, that old bastard! But right now, I lack a reason to make a move. After all, in my principles, if people don't offend me, I don't offend them. Since that old bastard hasn't provoked me, I can't just go after him for no reason. But if you become my temporary girlfriend, then it's only reasonable for me to act for you."

Ye Xuan slowly explained his purpose: "Of course, once this bastard is dealt with, if you aren't willing to be my girlfriend, we can still return to our normal relationship! After all, you don't have much to lose, and it allows you to get rid of danger sooner, and your uncle can safely regain his freedom, it's all beneficial for you."

Ye Xuan stated his reasons very thoroughly, and that's exactly how he was planning.

As long as Bai Wenrou became his temporary girlfriend, Ye Xuan would be able to use this opportunity to fully exploit the topic and drag Qi Bin down to hell completely! As soon as Qi Bin was dead, the Qi family wouldn't be a threat, their empire collapsing in an instant, at which point all troubles would be solved.

Of course, whether he had any other deeper thoughts was only known to Ye Xuan himself!

He wouldn't tell the latter!

Upon hearing Ye Xuan's words, Bai Wenrou raised her eyebrows and firmly refused: "That's absolutely not possible! Your approach is too aggressive and goes against my principles!"

Ye Xuan smirked and said, "Principles? How much are principles worth? You might talk principles to others, but others won't talk principles to you!"

"Even so, it's not allowed!"

Bai Wenrou said righteously: "Although my family's situation is dire now, we won't solve problems using such methods. It's not how a police officer should act! We must rely on evidence to fight against criminal forces, we won't use such shady means. Because this goes against police justice and would make my conscience uneasy. If I did such a thing, I wouldn't have the face to be a police officer in the future and would be condemned by my own conscience!"

"Therefore, you shouldn't even entertain this idea, I will never agree! Not only me, but my uncle wouldn't want me to use these means to save him either." She said solemnly.
