It takes 16 hours to fly from Barona to East Sea.

Ye Xuan slept for the entire 16 hours.

When the international flight, with its heavy roar, landed at East Sea International Airport, Ye Xuan awoke from his deep sleep, feeling fully rejuvenated.

"Being a man is hard, but having a lot of enchantresses around makes it even harder."

Ye Xuan stretched lazily, then shook his head, sighing with a sense of sentiment.

As soon as the sigh fell.

Two unfriendly gazes, like sharp swords, fell on Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan, with his keen senses, immediately sensed something was off, and looked at Lin Tong and Leng Qiuge with a sheepish grin, saying, "I meant having too many enchantresses around is just exhausting to look at!"

Even though Ye Xuan was sleepwalking the whole time Lin Tong and Leng Qiuge were mending their friendship, he knew the script by heart. Judging by the looks of the two, everything seemed to be fine now.

As the main author of this script, of course Ye Xuan had to cooperate well; otherwise, if these two beauties were displeased, would there still be a place for Ye Xuan in the villa in the future?

"Hmph, pervert!" Lin Tong snorted and turned her head.

"Rogue!"

Leng Qiuge also snapped back, then turned her attention back to bonding with Little Cloud, who she adored like a little angel sent from heaven.

Ye Xuan shrugged indifferently, thinking, as long as you’re happy, I’ll bear the pain!

Before long, the four members of Ye Xuan’s family walked out of the airport. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"The air in East Sea is still the best!"

Ye Xuan took a deep breath, and his eyes scanned the crowd, quickly locating Liu Ying and Chi Lian.

The two women were just too stunning; even at the airport entrance amidst the sea of people, they stood out like cranes among chickens.

"Brother Black Emperor!"

Seeing Ye Xuan, Chi Lian, who usually appeared aloof and intimidating, suddenly turned into a lovestruck girl and ran over excitedly.

Liu Ying, accustomed to it, followed with poise.

Lin Tong was also used to it.

Only the innocent Little Cloud expressed confusion: "Sister Beauty is too strange; when Daddy’s not around, she’s fierce and hardly speaks a word all day. When Daddy is around, she acts like a completely different person. Aunt Leng, why is that?"

Leafing through, Leng Qiuge, holding Little Cloud, couldn’t answer because she didn’t know Chi Lian.

But Chi Lian, who had run over to Ye Xuan, upon hearing Little Cloud’s words, unhappily said, "Little Cloud, how many times have I told you? I’m your aunt, you should call me Aunt Lou!"

Leng Qiuge was stunned.

These days, do women really enjoy calling themselves old?

Soon, Leng Qiuge, feeling insightful, began scrutinizing Chi Lian. Fair-skinned, beautiful, with a youthful face and prominent what-nots, her unique and outstanding aura blended sharpness with gentleness. Hmm, she probably has something going on with Ye Xuan.

Little Cloud stuck out her tiny tongue: "Aunt Lou, don’t be mad, Little Cloud didn’t mean it, I’ll make sure to address you properly next time!"

"That’s more like it."

Chi Lian, satisfied, tweaked Little Cloud’s little nose, then turned her gaze back to Ye Xuan, her face full of grievance: "Brother Black Emperor, you’re really too bad. Why didn’t you tell me earlier if you had a plan? Do you know, over in America and Australia, I’ve almost fought to the death!"

"Exactly! I was so worried, running across two continents and still couldn’t find a channel for cooperation. I almost thought about ending it all in guilt!" Liu Ying, who slowly followed up, also had some resentment towards Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan had intended to explain, but recalling he had already done so over the phone, he suddenly lost interest in speaking.

I’m struggling here!

"Let’s talk in the car."

Lin Tong, feeling a bit sympathetic towards Ye Xuan being berated like this, calmly suggested and stepped towards the parking lot.

Ye Xuan felt touched in his heart.

Truly, the wife is always the one who loves him the most; all other flowers and grass are just enchantresses, eager to drain him dry!

Shortly thereafter, the five adults and one child squeezed into the luxury Maserati.

As the only man in the car, surrounded by the scent of four beauties, Ye Xuan prepared to open the window for some fresh air.

But Liu Ying spoke up at that moment: "The air conditioning is on in the car, don’t open the window."

Ye Xuan: "..."

Damn it, Liu Ying, who the heck turned on the AC? It’s the warm winter of East Sea, do you need to open the car window?

Ye Xuan understood; this must be a clever move thought up by Liu Ying. This woman was quite vindictive, having been set up by Ye Xuan for this operation, she was sure to make him pay in the future.

Enchantress, when will you let up!

Even more chilling was the fact that Lin Tong didn’t speak up for Ye Xuan this time. With so many women crammed into this car, even if she felt guilty towards Ye Xuan in her heart, it wouldn’t prevent her from feeling indignant.

The flowers were all attracted by you; as enticing as their fragrance may be, no matter how foolishly moved you feel smelling it, you better hold back!

Suddenly, Lin Tong spoke up: "Liu Ying, how’s the situation with Eastern Group?"

"What else could it be? It’s bound to be great." Liu Ying replied with a smile: "In just a few days, the stock market remains at daily surge limits, the company’s market value increased significantly, and all major investors in Yan Country are extending olive branches to us, offering us financing."

Lin Tong nodded; that was good news.

Currently, Eastern Group has established a strategic collaboration with the Carter Family. With such a massive project, the mere 40 billion isn’t nearly enough.

At such times, financing from big capitalists is needed.

Liu Ying continued: "Eastern Group’s glory is imminent. On paper, it seems we’ve only developed three main parts: cosmetics, jewelry, and building materials. However, other businesses are also impacted, especially the new energy and skincare sectors, which are looking very promising."

"Very good." Lin Tong nodded again: "The future prospects for the new energy and skincare industries have always been excellent, especially the new energy sector. It’s the ultimate goal of Eastern Group. The success of this plan is paving the way for Eastern Group’s future."

Liu Ying smiled but said nothing more. She knew well that Eastern Group valued the future new energy sector the most, but she didn’t intend to probe further into exactly why.

Even though they’re all family, there are some family secrets she shouldn’t explore too thoroughly.

As if remembering something, Lin Tong said again: "Now that Nightingale Group is technically no longer related to you, what are your plans next?"

"You’re the boss at home, whatever you say goes." Liu Ying laughed charmingly: "Anyway, I’m just a salted fish; ideally, I’d love it if you let me spend every day with Little Cloud, living a carefree life."

Lin Tong glanced at Liu Ying.

Liu Ying shrugged helplessly: "Alright, I think the Vice President position of Eastern Group suits me well."

Lin Tong was surprised.

As Liu Ying’s childhood friend, Leng Qiuge commented at this moment: "Liu Ying, you shouldn’t take that position, Little Tong wants Ye Xuan to have it!"
