Seeing Ye Luo’s gaze fixed on her chest, Liu Xiner looked down and instantly saw that her white camisole had become translucent due to sweat, revealing the color of her bra. Her cheeks reddened once again, and she quickly put on her school uniform over it.

"Alright, I’ll take you home," he said.

Ye Luo quickly averted his gaze and muttered.

Twenty minutes later, Ye Luo dropped Liu Xiner off outside the Liu Family mansion.

"Ye Brother, won’t you come in?"

Liu Xiner’s eyes were fixed on Ye Luo.

"No, I still have to go back to work," he declined, shaking his head.

"Alright then, but Ye Brother, tomorrow is my birthday. I’ll be holding a birthday party here at the Liu Family mansion tomorrow evening. Can you come?"

Liu Xiner watched Ye Luo with clear, bright eyes brimming with anticipation.

"Tomorrow is your birthday? I had no idea. But since you’ve mentioned it, I must come. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely be there tomorrow evening. But what would you like for a birthday present?"

"Any gift will do, as long as it’s from you. Then it’s settled. I won’t let you off if you don’t show up tomorrow night."

A smile spread across Liu Xiner’s face. She quickly got out of the car, shook her head at Ye Luo, and walked into the estate.

"Xin’er, you seem very happy. Did something happen?"

At that moment, Liu Shiyun appeared inside the mansion, smiling as she looked at the beaming Liu Xiner.

"Sister, I told Ye Brother about my birthday, and he’s coming over tomorrow night."

"Oh, you ran into Ye Luo?"

Liu Shiyun looked at Liu Xiner with curiosity.

Liu Xiner then briefly recounted what had happened at school that day.

"You silly girl, how could you have Ye Luo pretend to be your boyfriend? You’ve made Han Li hate him now," Liu Shiyun shook her head and said.

"Hmph, if that Han Li dares to do anything to Ye Brother, I won’t let him off," Liu Xiner pouted, waving her tiny fists.

"Have you fallen for Ye Luo?"

Liu Shiyun’s astute eyes were locked onto her younger sister.

Under her sister’s gaze, Liu Xiner’s face flushed to her neck, and she said coyly, "Aiyah, Sister, what are you talking about?"

After saying that, Liu Xiner quickly ran into the villa. Liu Shiyun’s fair face showed a complex expression as she recalled the first time she had seen Ye Luo, especially the scene when her illness recurred and she was on the brink of death, and Ye Luo appeared to save her life.

"Ah..."

Liu Shiyun sighed deeply and turned to walk into the villa.

On the other side, Han Mengxi had returned to the school, with the woman in the black leather jacket standing beside her.

"Sister Mo, who’s going after that guy?"

Han Mengxi asked curiously while looking at Sister Mo.

"Miss, you better not get involved in this matter,"

the woman in the leather jacket said coldly.

"Oh, come on, Sister Mo, just tell me,"

Han Mengxi pleaded, pulling on the leather jacket woman’s arm coquettishly.

"It’s someone from Blood Wolf, the top international assassin organization."

"Assassin organization!"

Han Mengxi’s pretty face showed surprise as she said, "How did this guy offend the assassin organization?"

"Someone must have hired Blood Wolf to kill him. Miss, you should stay away from this person as much as possible in the future. His identity is not simple, and it could jeopardize your safety,"

the woman known as Sister Mo said with an icy voice and a cold face.

Han Mengxi cocked her head, her large eyes glittering with a strange light.

At the Wang Family villa in Zhonghai, Wang Quan and his son Wang Tiancheng were gathered with Namu Jianchun and Mu Feng of the Mu Family.

"Chairman Wang, why did you suddenly call me over? What’s the matter?"

Mu Jianchun asked Wang Quan impatiently. He had been staying in Zhonghai these past few days, working with the Wang Family on developing several skincare formulas at Rejuvenation Pavilion, getting ready for production and launch.

Wang Quan said with a somber expression, "Young Master Mu, there’s been an unexpected situation I need to discuss. You remember Meiyue Company, don’t you?"

"Meiyue Company? Isn’t that the cosmetics company your son wanted me to acquire? It seems to be a company from the declining Ye Family,"

Mu Jianchun said, frowning slightly.

"Exactly. When the Ye Family was around, Meiyue Company was always a competitor of our Wang Group. That’s why I purposely arranged for someone to infiltrate Meiyue Company. After the Ye Family’s downfall, Meiyue also began to decline."

"However, I never withdrew the person I had placed in Meiyue. Yesterday, he sent a message saying that Luo Jingxuan, the CEO of Meiyue Company, suddenly has some skincare formulas in her possession. They have already produced samples, and the results are very good. They are preparing for immediate production as the new representative products of Meiyue Company’s next season,"

Wang Quan said in a grave tone.

"Chairman Wang, aren’t you making too much of a fuss? I thought it was something serious. It’s just some cosmetic formulas. Could their effects possibly surpass the formulas developed by the dozen or so master Chinese medicine practitioners at Rejuvenation Pavilion?"

Mu Jianchun said dismissively, curling his lips.

"Young Master Mu, according to the information my man has sent, the products produced from the formulas Luo Jingxuan has are indeed very impressive and are no less effective than our own products,"

"What? That’s impossible?"

Mu Jianchun exclaimed, looking incredulous.

Wang Quan narrowed his eyes and said, "Young Master Mu, don’t forget that Luo Jingxuan’s nephew is Ye Luo, and Ye Luo’s medical skills..."

Wang Quan didn’t finish his sentence, but the four people present knew what he meant. They were all aware of the remarkable medical skills of that young man, Ye Luo, especially Mu Jianchun and the elder beside him, Mu Feng, who had experienced Ye Luo’s medical prowess themselves.

Obviously, with a medical expert like Ye Luo, it wasn’t surprising that he could produce a few skincare formulas.

"Given his medical skills, if he were to release some skincare formulas, it’s likely that their effects would not fall short of our own,"

Mu Feng couldn’t help but speak up.

At that moment, Mu Jianchun’s face looked quite ugly. After a silent moment, he said, "What should we do then? This plan has been in preparation for a long time by our Mu Family, aiming to use this opportunity to enhance the reputation of Rejuvenation Pavilion and the Mu Family. Are we to let it all go to waste?"

"Young Master Mu, it’s not necessarily that bad. After all, their products haven’t hit the market yet, and we still have a chance. What we need to do now is to get our hands on those formulas they have. That way, we can know the actual effects of the products they produce. If they really are better than ours, we can simply claim them as our own and launch them first. By then, Luo Jingxuan will be at a loss,"

Wang Quan said with a cold laugh.
