Ye Fan had no personal relationship with Qin Yi, they just knew each other from the battlefield. Moreover, regardless of how Qin Yi viewed him, Ye Fan has no opinion and only treated him as a stranger.

Although they had executed missions together accidentally, Ye Fan’s identity, under the organization’s deliberate guidance, made him a person of great status and position. People like Qin Yi also thought so, and Ye Fan had nothing to say about it.

But now, after guessing that Qin Yi was Ye Juanjuan’s soldier boyfriend mentioned, Ye Fan couldn’t turn a blind eye.

He still needed to assess certain aspects, as the saying goes, "an elder brother is like a father," and he cherished Ye Juanjuan deeply.

Just after Ye Fan said something probing, Qin Yi got angry. Not caring how Ye Fan knew Ye Juanjuan’s name, he threw a punch without thinking, interpreting Ye Fan’s action as an insult to Ye Juanjuan.

Qin Yi completely forgot that the first time he met Ye Fan, he was arrogant and unrestrained, only to behave after being taught a lesson by Ye Fan.

Ye Fan’s mouth twitched slightly, quickly extended a hand, neutralized the force of Qin Yi’s punch, twisted back and subdued Qin Yi, then pushed him through the door into the room.

Inside the room, Mengyao and Ye Juanjuan were chatting, and they looked over full of confusion at the sudden change.

"Ye Fan, what are you doing?" Mengyao asked Ye Fan, not knowing Qin Yi.

"Brother, you can’t bully him," Ye Juanjuan hurried forward to protect Qin Yi, seeing his embarrassed state, and reproached, "What are you doing?"

"Brother? Him?" Qin Yi was dumbfounded, his mind went blank instantly.

"Just joking, nothing really." Ye Fan smiled and patted Ye Juanjuan’s shoulder, then walked over and sat next to Mengyao.

"You know him? Is he Ye Juanjuan’s boyfriend?" Mengyao curiously asked Ye Fan.

"Met a few times." Ye Fan said softly.

"Oh!" Mengyao nodded, whispered, "Do you know this person? You must know something about him, otherwise, you wouldn’t humiliate him, making him lose face. Are you dissatisfied with him? If that’s the case, take steps progressively, don’t let Juanjuan think her brother is unreliable."

"No, I was just testing him. When I said Ye Juanjuan was my girlfriend, he got agitated, too impulsive, not steady at all." Ye Fan gave his evaluation.

"Stop talking nonsense." Mengyao pinched Ye Fan mockingly.

Ye Juanjuan didn’t know what happened and pulled Qin Yi to sit beside her.

Seeing Qin Yi’s dazed state, she boldly said, "Don’t be afraid, if he dares to bully you, I’ll teach him a lesson."

"Ahh!" Qin Yi replied with a bitter smile and, coming to his senses, looked at Ye Fan and said, "Misunderstanding, it was all a misunderstanding earlier. If I offended you, please don’t mind."

"No worries, no worries," Ye Fan replied straightforwardly.

"You know each other?" Ye Juanjuan looked at Qin Yi and Ye Fan, full of confusion, asking.

"Met a few times, your brother is my idol, very extraordinary." Qin Yi explained.

"Are you buttering him up?" Ye Fan teased Qin Yi.

"No, no, I’m serious." Qin Yi quickly responded. Currently, Ye Fan is not the person who couldn’t care less about talking to him; as the brother of his girlfriend, he didn’t dare be disrespectful at all.

"What’s with the way you’re talking?" Ye Juanjuan tapped the table, glaring at Ye Fan, "Don’t be sarcastic, speak properly."

Ye Fan had no choice but to remain silent. He didn’t have any opinions or perceptions about Qin Yi, just couldn’t help but test him a bit. It’s another way of viewing Qin Yi as a guardian.

The four sat down and the food was served.

"How do you know my brother?" Ye Juanjuan lowered her voice and asked Qin Yi.

"Met in the army. You might not know, but your brother can walk with swagger in the army, many give him face." Qin Yi said.

"So impressive!" Ye Juanjuan didn’t know about it, very surprised.

Qin Yi also wanted to greet Mengyao, but he didn’t know how to address her. As a soldier, the life in the army is sometimes boring, and discussions always included the national goddess Chu Biyao. Looking at Mengyao, she seemed like another version of Chu Biyao, but he was uncertain if she was Chu Biyao, so he dared not ask, lest he makes a fool of himself.

Ye Juanjuan proactively helped with introductions, "My brother needs no introduction as you’ve met him already, the beautiful lady here is my brother’s fiancée, Chu Mengyao, the pilot of the Chu Group, a wealthy woman."

"Hello, sister-in-law, nice to meet you. I propose a toast to you." Qin Yi politely stood up, picked up his glass and said.

Mengyao laughed and clinked glasses with Qin Yi.

Facing Ye Fan, Qin Yi said without blinking, "From now on, I’ll call you brother too, calling you by name seems too distant, doesn’t it?"

Ye Fan said indifferently, "Whatever, I have no opinion."

"Brother, I must say something, what you did just now wasn’t upright at all. You guessed I was Juanjuan’s boyfriend, but still gave me a hard time, embarrassed me, that’s your fault." Qin Yi said.

"What, you still want to hit me?" Ye Fan said playfully.

"No, no, I’m no match for you." Qin Yi smiled sheepishly, apologetically saying, "But speaking of earlier, I was too impulsive, shouldn’t have acted. It’s fortunate you were generous, not specifically giving me a hard time. I toast to you."

"You’re someone who knows the law, wouldn’t want to break it knowingly, would you?" Ye Fan said with a teaching tone, "I saw you drove here; driving back too, right? I have to drive so can’t drink."

He purely wanted to make Qin Yi a little uncomfortable. As for Qin Yi’s personal character, he was unaware. He couldn’t let Qin Yi quickly feel acknowledged as Juanjuan’s boyfriend; needed to examine him further.

Therefore, no matter the circumstances, he shouldn’t get too close to Qin Yi. Maintaining a proper distance is good.

If Ye Juanjuan and Qin Yi are genuinely heartfelt, there will be ample time ahead, seeing truth over time.

Some words Mengyao couldn’t say, so naturally, Ye Fan got the task to keep suitable distance from Qin Yi.

Qin Yi held up his drink awkwardly, his face changed, could only smile bitterly said, "Drink less, not a big deal, not a big deal."

"Seen you drink and drive before, now talking lessons, are you a traffic cop?" Ye Juanjuan dissatisfiedly looked at Ye Fan and said.
