Xia Zhu didn't stop him, but looked at Ye Hao going down with a bit of relief, and many classmates clapped their hands vigorously...

After a long while, the loud applause gradually faded. Xia Zhu raised her hand to quieten the crowd, cleared her throat, and looking at Ye Hao, said, "I didn't expect that you had so many dirty thoughts about me in the past, but today your words made me feel your deep remorse for those thoughts. Ye Hao, all in all, you are a good student. Although your thoughts made me very angry and made me, as a teacher, feel powerless towards students like you, you understand how to change yourself and abandon filthy thoughts, which is worth my praise. There is no greater virtue than this..."

"Teacher, you're right. I was indeed quite unbearable in the past, but I'll change from now on. I hope to earn the forgiveness of you and my classmates, thank you." After Ye Hao finished speaking, he kicked Lin Ruyu a little and then deeply bowed to Xia Zhu, showing he realized his mistake.

Lin Ruyu glared at him, thinking that if she had known earlier, she would've written down that part of the confession to make him die. Unexpectedly, this guy didn't recognize people in the blink of an eye and started giving her a hard time. It seems that next time, she still has to give him a good dose of treatment!

Thinking of this, Lin Ruyu gave a mischievous smile. When Ye Hao sat down as Xia Zhu instructed, he saw Lin Ruyu's expression and was so scared that he trembled slightly and repeatedly apologized, "Just now my leg was a bit clumsy, and I accidentally bumped into you. Don't be angry, little sister. Be the bigger person, and don't hold it against little me."

Lin Ruyu responded with a faint hum, and later Xia Zhu gave them a lesson, while Ye Hao let Qianqian control his body to fake sitting idly while he himself went into the space to study other galaxies' knowledge. Although the shallow knowledge of outer space doesn't require too much comprehension ability, it remains outer space, something Ye Hao couldn't fully grasp in just one day.

When class ended, Lu Yunsong sent a note over, saying they wouldn't have classes in the afternoon and invited him to meet at the Romantic Bar in the evening for a drink.

Ye Hao didn't have much thought about it, anyway, it was just a casual meeting with classmates. But he didn't immediately agree because he still had to wait until the two beauties in the house went to sleep before he could go out in the evening. Now that Lin Tian was at Celestial Paradise Coast, he didn't have to personally guard Lin Haiyu and Su Qing 24/7, so he had some free time to arrange things for himself.

In a café in Yanjing, there sat a man and a woman. The man looked noble and genial, dressed brightly. The woman was a national beauty with a charming smile, although at the moment, her smile seemed a bit forced because sitting across from her was a man who had secretly loved her for ten years, and eventually confessed his love openly.

Today, Fang Ni wore a tight white shirt and dazzling blue jeans atop her slender beautiful legs, sparking endless imagination; her small, soft waist added a more vivid hue to her beauty.

"Bai Lin, I told you he is just my friend, simply a friend, and we are just friends. I hope you won't interfere in my affairs. We've grown up together since childhood, but I also have my personal space. I don't want you to target him just because I gave him a phone. He works for my dad, returning from abroad, and my dad asked me to settle him." Fang Ni explained to the man sitting across from her, but she still felt a little uneasy.

The man across from Fang Ni, known as Bai Lin, was the eldest son of the Bai Family in Yanjing. He had previously studied abroad and sought out Fang Ni upon returning. However, because Fang Ni gave the card to Ye Hao, Bai Lin had asked someone to invite Fang Ni for coffee today.

"Oh? What kind of friend is so important that you, Miss Fang, would give away the card I gifted to you? I think you know the significance of that card to some extent, right? That was the first gift I bought with my own hard-earned money, and I gave it to you, yet you gifted it to someone else. Have you considered my feelings?" Although Bai Lin was speaking with a smile, Fang Ni couldn't feel any smile in his words.

"Just an ordinary friend. Although you gave me that card, keeping it didn't serve any purpose for me. Moreover, Ye Hao didn't have a phone. How was he supposed to contact me if there was an urgent task? Besides, he was rushing to catch a flight at that time, so I had no choice but to let him use that card." Fang Ni, although capable of leaving , didn't want to embarrass her old school friend, so she patiently explained.

"Ye Hao... haha, Ye Hao, same guy again. It seems like, whenever you're out, you mention this guy's name the most, don't you? Nini, don't you know how I feel about this?" Bai Lin chuckled a few times, then gazed deeply at Fang Ni.

"I've always said, I've only ever considered you as my older brother and never thought of anything else. Why are you so fixated?" Fang Ni had clearly rejected him many times and now felt a little impatient facing Bai Lin's renewed proposal.

"You know I never considered you as a sister. I like you, Nini. Can't you give me a chance? After so many years together, haven't you ever felt attracted to me?" Bai Lin spoke more and more candidly, hoping to touch Fang Ni's heart. Although he was surrounded by beauties when abroad, upon returning, he naturally wanted to win over his first love.

"I think we have nothing left to discuss. Although I don't like to give people a very thorough rejection, you've brought it up to this point. What more can I say? I can only say, I really don't love you. If possible, I really wish you always to be my brother, not a lover or even a husband..." Fang Ni picked up her handbag and was about to leave.

But at this moment, Bai Lin suddenly stood up, wrapped his arm around Fang Ni's waist, and was about to kiss her...

"Pa!"

Fang Ni habitually raised her palm and slapped Bai Lin hard on the cheek.

Bai Lin froze, and so did Fang Ni, but she paused only briefly before turning her head and walking out of the café.

Touching his hot, painfully burning cheek, Bai Lin instantly felt it was a humiliation, thinking Fang Ni must have someone else she liked, which was why she rejected him. His internal thoughts aligned Fang Ni as his predetermined wife, yet her affection for someone else made him feel as if he had been cuckolded.

Thinking of this, Bai Lin muttered the name "Ye Hao" twice coldly, clearly showing who was on his mind. He blamed Ye Hao for everything, thinking that if there was no Ye Hao, Fang Ni would naturally become his wife. But with Ye Hao's presence, he felt as though his beloved was shared with others, and his would-be wife had even hit him.

Bai Lin's extreme thoughts made him a bit crazy, considering having Ye Hao disposed of, making Ye Hao vanish from the world...

After a day of classes, Ye Hao returned home with two beauties. However, upon arriving, they saw Lin Tian looking tensely at a document in his hand. Confused, Ye Hao stepped forward and asked, "Uncle Lin, what's the matter?"

"Haha, you're back?" Lin Tian put down the document without answering Ye Hao's question, looking towards him instead and asking.

"Just got back. I saw Uncle Lin doesn't look too well. Did something happen? If you need me, Ye Hao, don't hesitate to ask!" Ye Hao asked again.

"Haha, nothing's wrong, you go rest first, your aunt is cooking." Lin Tian still didn't answer the question, and Ye Hao, getting no result, could only go to the kitchen to help Yan Shuiyue cook.

Feeling a bit embarrassed, Yan Shuiyue said to Ye Hao, "Hao, Aunt mistakenly blamed you yesterday. You're not mad at Aunt, right?"

"Not at all. Aunt is just worried about Ruyu's safety. Rest assured, Aunt, I undertake things with consideration and understand the master-servant relationship." Ye Hao nodded, though internally he felt a bit disappointed, as he once thought maybe one day, he could live in this house for a long time.

Now hearing Yan Shuiyue's words, Ye Hao understood his standing in this family, so he adjusted his mindset.

Feeling Ye Hao's slight disappointment, Yan Shuiyue patted his shoulder and said, "Aunt doesn't mean that, nor do I consider you a servant. You have thought too much. It's just that Aunt can't accompany my pitiable child every day, always running around with her dad. When I hear something about the child, I get anxious!" As she spoke, Yan Shuiyue's eyes reddened a bit.

Ye Hao assuringly nodded, "I understand this, Aunt, I will take good care of her and won't let anything happen to her."

"Ah! I feel relieved hearing this, Hao, treat this place as your home, and if you need anything, just feel free to tell Li Fu. Maybe in the coming days, your uncle will need to go back to the company to handle matters, and when that time comes, you'll be counting on this home." Yan Shuiyue, seeing Ye Hao understood the seriousness, instructed him.

"Aunt, is something happening? I saw Uncle Lin's face doesn't seem too good!" Although Ye Hao felt he might be overstepping by asking, given his responsibility to take care of Lin Ruyu, he needed to know about any upcoming events, else it would be too late if something big happened.

After glancing at Ye Hao, Yan Shuiyue said, "It's nothing much. It's just that Uncle Lin spread too wide of a net before, and now more people are resisting his control. Although your uncle could retreat unscathed, he isn't willing to do so that easily. Therefore, post incidents, he's letting his elite team entangle with those people, and if not done properly, there might be significant losses."

Understanding these words, Ye Hao became pensive, thinking it might be due to Uncle Lin previously sweeping through the Huaxia business world out of anger?

With this in mind, Ye Hao nodded, believing he might have truly guessed it right this time...
