Xiao Ming’s lips curved slightly as he leisurely arranged slices of raw meat on the grill.

"When I first met Hua, I knew she was itching to kill me.

That killing intent was so straightforward, so easy to feel, that even my Li drew her sword on the spot.

It puzzled me.

After all, from what I heard, you’re not the sort to be a sore loser.

Of course, rumors can be false, so I took a chance. As I deliberately moved towards Hua, I claimed she wouldn’t kill me.

Then, that sharp aura about her really began to fade, until it became just plain scorn.

This was proven in the few words we exchanged afterward—aside from wanting to kill me, she simply held me in contempt.

Next, I expressed my unwillingness to see you, and after her threats failed to work, she promptly let go of her pride and bowed respectfully to me.

That indicates her loyalty to you surpasses her own dignity and feelings.

Following on, I asked her name, and she answered; I asked what you call her, and she hesitated, but still responded.

However, she didn’t realize that as she uttered the name ’Hua,’ which is vulgar and cute but completely unsuited to her temperament, her eyes softened as if brimming with water.

It was just a moment, yet it perfectly matched ’Hua.’

Especially after I deliberately called her Hua, a killing intent emerged on her once again.

From this, it is evident that she only shows her gentle side in your presence, and the name ’Hua’ is reserved exclusively for you.

She loves you deeply, and it’s not the kind of love a servant holds for their master."

After finishing his long speech, Xiao Ming turned around to see that Xiao Li had finished eating. He took the chopsticks back from her hands and began flipping the meat on the grill.

As for the concern of used chopsticks, he believed that Ye Jin’an, as a qualified playboy, wouldn’t mind a beauty’s saliva.

Indeed, Ye Jin’an just raised his eyebrows and said nothing.

"Mr. Xiao," Ye Feihua spoke with a slight tremble in her voice from where she stood, "I apologize for my earlier rudeness. Could I please ask you to stop talking about me?"

"Oh, sorry! I didn’t mean to upset you; I was just answering your young master’s queries," Xiao Ming replied with a gentle smile, then continued speaking to Ye Jin’an, "After arriving at the pavilion, regardless of how true or false your words were, I didn’t sense any intent to kill from them.

Which means, at least for tonight, you had no plans to finish me off.

And as long as you don’t wish to kill me, then Hua poses absolutely no threat to me.

Therefore, to keep my Li from going hungry, I had no choice but to make this clear, to let her feel what I was feeling, to shed her guard and tension, and to relax.

From this perspective, I did exploit Miss Hua’s grief, so I’m sorry, but my girl’s hunger is more important than your feelings."

Ye Feihua’s expression turned angry, and she glared at Xiao Ming with such force it seemed she might press his face into the grill at any second.

But this time, neither Xiao Ming nor Xiao Li cared.

The girl silently watched his back. Although her expression remained cold, there was a twinkle in her eyes.

"I’m convinced! Thoroughly convinced!"

Ye Jin’an clapped his hands and laughed heartily, "Being able to deduce one’s own safety from a multitude of details and the slightest of hints is indeed impressive, but that’s as far as it goes."

There are too many outstanding people in this world, each filled with conspiracies and schemes; it’s nauseating just to think about it.

What’s most exceptional about you is that upon first meeting Ye Feihua, you could discern her true desires from her words and actions and used that knowledge to shower your own daughter with love.

No wonder Lu Lichun, who fluttered like a loose flower for over a decade, devoted herself to you wholeheartedly within two months.

You should know, when I was your age, I hadn’t developed such an advanced level of insight.

In time, the title of Playboy Leader is yours to claim."

Xiao Ming shook his head, his expression indifferent, "I’m not like you. To me, Li is not a woman; she is family.

I only love my wife, and I will not, nor could I ever become a playboy."

Ye Jin’an curled his lip: "Then do you know that between men and women who are not related by blood, all friendships, kinships, even illicit relationships, are bullshit!

Given enough time, it all boils down to just one thing: love.

That’s exactly why I never maintain an intimate relationship with any woman for more than two weeks."

Xiao Ming instinctively wanted to scoff, but suddenly recalling the absurdities of his past life over those fifteen and a half years, it seemed Ye Jin’an might be right.

Any woman who spent a significant amount of time with him, regardless of the initial intent, would end up becoming tainted.

Zhou Qingyuan was the most direct proof of that.

Shaking his head, he said, "That’s why you’re about to die."

Ye Jin’an’s expression became stern: "Do you mean that woman is going to kill me?"

"No, you will die at the hands of her husband, and it will be a miserable death."

Ye Jin’an’s eyes gradually widened in a look of great shock, but soon he let out a snort and once again burst into laughter.

"Although I have no idea how you came to understand me so well, I still say you’re too young.

Intelligence cannot replace experience; grasping the human heart isn’t as simple as just looking at some intelligence reports.

Let me tell you, that woman’s husband is a devoted retainer cultivated by my family from a young age, meant specifically to be a human shield for me. He’s arguably the least likely person in the world to betray me.

Even if I ordered him to take his own life, he wouldn’t hesitate, how could he possibly kill..."

He stopped speaking because Xiao Ming was looking at him coldly, his eyes filled with undisguised contempt and pity, igniting an inexplicable rage in his heart.

"You brat, say it again, whether you admit it or not, I’m your uncle!

If you have something to say, then spit it out. Dare to disrespect me again, and believe it or not, I’ll have Hua beat you up?"

Xiao Ming pinched a piece of roast meat into his mouth, and spoke indifferently: "Rumors say you’re extremely clever, your talent not inferior to your elder brother’s, even more suited to inherit the position of Family Head.

Now it seems, if the rumors are true, then there really isn’t much to fear about the Ye Family; with someone of your caliber eligible to become the Family Head, it’s akin to a clan of fools."

Ye Jin’an slammed his palm onto the table, just about to speak, but then he heard Xiao Ming continue: "The person least likely to betray you is standing right behind you.

Devoted retainers aren’t machines; they’re human, with human desires and selfishness. Their loyalty is a kind of inertia instilled from a young age; although very firm, it is not without the possibility of change.

For example, if the ideals and hopes they’ve longed for their entire life are snatched away, that strong inertia might help them suppress their anger and remain loyal.

But if those ideals and hopes continue to appear before them every day, constantly reminding them that the most beautiful and pure thing in their hearts no longer belongs to them, even at risk of being defiled at any moment,

Ye Jin’an, tell me, how loyal should this person be to you, not to go mad?"
