Time flies by swiftly, and in the blink of an eye, night has fallen. The dazzling neon lights brighten up the whole city like a fantastical metropolis, almost like a mirage.

The neon lights lining the streets are like a captivating woman, casting flirtatious glances and tempting the passersby, making countless pedestrians become entranced and reluctant to leave!

But this life full of indulgence seems to have passed for Ye Xunhuan. After work, he returned to the villa.

Originally, Qiu Ruoxi from Huangtu Group had been quite cold to Ye Xunhuan, but now at home, she seemed very warm towards him.

The two seemed like a loving couple, evoking envy in others.

This initially puzzled Ye Xunhuan, but he quickly figured out why Qiu Ruoxi was behaving this way.

After all, Qiu Shuihan and Xiahou Yutong were still here. If she suddenly appeared indifferent to Ye Xunhuan after getting along so well with him before, it would definitely lead to some speculation by Qiu Shuihan and Xiahou Yutong.

Therefore, Qiu Ruoxi had to act as if everything was perfectly normal.

Though this was tiring for Qiu Ruoxi, at least Qiu Shuihan and Xiahou Yutong would be happier—right?

As for Ao Wuheng and Zhong Wuchang, they seemed to have quite the issue with Ye Xunhuan and had already left Jiangdong City, returning to the southeast.

At least that was what they said, but whether they truly left, no one knew.

Even though Ao Wuheng and Zhong Wuchang weren't in the villa, Wei Zixu didn't leave. Moreover, who knows what he talked about with Qiu Shuihan and Xiahou Yutong, making the two of them become increasingly fond of Wei Zixu, even recognizing him as their godson!

He suddenly became Ye Xunhuan's big brother-in-law and Qiu Ruoxi's big brother!

This made Ye Xunhuan want to grab Wei Zixu and give him a good beating!

Qiu Ruoxi was quite surprised and shocked by Qiu Shuihan and Xiahou Yutong recognizing Wei Zixu as their godson, but it wasn't something she couldn't accept.

Just like that, they became siblings!

"Godfather, godmother, when you two go to the capital in the future, just call me! I know all the good places and good food, I'll show you around…" Wei Zixu said as he sat at the dining table to Qiu Shuihan and Xiahou Yutong: "Also, Wang Ma, you too, contact me directly when you're in the capital!"

"And Ruoxi, if Ye Xunhuan dares to bully you in the future, just let me know, I'll make sure to give him a good thrashing!" Wei Zixu declared confidently: "Don't worry that I can't beat him; the Wei family has many people, just one spit each and we can drown him!"

Ye Xunhuan watched Wei Zixu with a face full of exasperation, wondering how he never noticed this guy's talent for flattery!

"Just eat your meal!" Ye Xunhuan glared fiercely at Wei Zixu: "Can't even the meal stop your mouth from running!"

Perhaps because they had recognized a son, since Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi walked in, smiles hadn't left their faces.

"I must have a good chat with my sister whom I haven't talked to for over twenty years, and what if you bully my sister?"

Ye Xunhuan couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

"Sis, if this guy ever bullies you, just tell me, I'll absolutely stand up for you…"

"If the two of you don't gang up on me, I'll give thanks to heaven and earth, and now you're helping me!" Qiu Ruoxi casually glanced at Wei Zixu!

Wei Zixu was immediately dissatisfied: "Sister, how can you talk like that, I've always wanted a sister, now that I have one, I'm gonna treat you like a little ancestor. If anyone bullies you, I, as your brother, absolutely won't like it…"

Seeing the earnest and confident look on Wei Zixu's face, Qiu Ruoxi directly picked up a piece of meat: "Then I'll thank you in advance, my future good brother!"

With that, Qiu Ruoxi placed the meat from her chopsticks into Wei Zixu's bowl!

"What's there to thank, we're all family!"

If it weren't the wrong occasion, Ye Xunhuan would really want to ask Wei Zixu if he had any shame, and also question why Wei Zixu was arbitrarily recognizing relatives here!

This doesn't match the rumors at all.

"Zixu, Ruoxi has a temper, if she ever takes it out on you someday, please be tolerant!"

"Godmother, how could you say that? She's my sister; if I don't yield to her and cherish her, what would that be?"

Ye Xunhuan really couldn't take it anymore: "Wei Zixu, could you have some shame?"

"Brother-in-law…"

Ye Xunhuan suddenly felt a stampede of countless mental expletives running wild.

Throughout dinner, the atmosphere at the table always felt harmonious. Everyone chatted and laughed, as if with Wei Zixu added, there were many more laughs and smiles at the dining table.

After the meal, Wang Ma began cleaning up, and Xiahou Yutong arranged a bedroom for Wei Zixu to stay in.

As for Ye Xunhuan, he really couldn't stand Wei Zixu any longer, so he went straight upstairs, and Qiu Ruoxi didn't stay downstairs long either, she soon went upstairs too.

Upon reaching the upstairs, as they entered the bedroom, Ye Xunhuan said: "Honey, what were Mom and Dad thinking, recognizing such a nitwit as their son?"

"What's wrong, feeling a little neglected?"

"I'm just puzzled is all," Ye Xunhuan replied softly.

"I don't get it either!" Qiu Ruoxi said blandly, "But no matter what, Mom and Dad have accepted him and quite like him, and that's that!"

Qiu Shuihan and Xiahou Yutong recognizing Wei Zixu as their son didn't bother Qiu Ruoxi in the least, in fact, she even thought it might be a good thing!

After all, Wei Zixu is from the Wei family and the favorite grandson of Wei Sanqian; whether in the capital or some affairs, anything Wei Zixu can do could be settled with just a word.

Even though Ye Xunhuan and Wei Zixu have a good relationship, Wei Zixu would surely help, but you'd owe a favor, right?

Isn't it great to not owe any favors?

Just then, the bedroom door was suddenly knocked on from outside.

Upon hearing the knock, Ye Xunhuan swallowed the words he was about to say, rose up, and walked to the door to open it!

The next moment, Qiu Shuihan's tall figure appeared before Ye Xunhuan's eyes!

"Dad, do you need something?"

"Do you have time? I want to chat with you," Qiu Shuihan said calmly.

"Sure!" Ye Xunhuan agreed without hesitation.

Then, Ye Xunhuan followed Qiu Shuihan out of the bedroom and headed towards the study room.

Upon entering the study, Qiu Shuihan directly sat down on the sofa, "You should sit too, don't just stand there like a fool!"

"Dad, why did you want to talk to me?" Ye Xunhuan asked cautiously, looking at Qiu Shuihan.
