When Ye Fei woke up the next morning, he wiggled his limbs and felt much more comfortable than before. While his waist was still sore in some areas, it was tolerable for now.
Since Tianxi and Feixiao were not too far from each other, he chose to hitch a ride with Yan Xiao rather than drive himself, and arrived at the company earlier than Gu Ruijia for the first time.
Gu Ruijia was startled to see him; he blinked a few times, as if he had not woken up and was still dreaming. After a few minutes of processing time, he immediately cursed. “Damn, it’s really you, did the sun come out from the west?”
“If it’s not me, then who can it be?” Ye Fei refused to acknowledge his presence and continued typing up his work emails.
“I’ve never seen you work so hard before.” Gu Ruijia leaned over and glanced at his computer. Upon seeing that it was about a new movie, he looked away in disinterest. “What happened to you yesterday? You looked so pale .”
“I’m okay,” With this big mouth, anything with regards to Yan Xiao would be immediately leaked to those two other jokers. He insouciantly suggested an excuse, “It’s just disgust at Ye Yao.”
Gu Ruijia threw his emptied cup into the trash can and muttered, “He is disgusting.” When he tried to continue the conversation, a senior executive of Dingyuan pinged Ye Fei.
[President Ye, a few loan sharks came over to Dingyuan. Apparently it’s due to young master Ye’s debts.]
The creditors must have gotten alarmed when they caught wind of Ye Yao’s arrest.
Ye Fei sneered, and replied —
[Brother Fei: How much does he owe? ]
[Not sure, it seems to be 80 million.]
While typically eighty million wasn’t a huge sum, the Ye family would have trouble paying off this debt.
Ye Yao had lost 20 million at the beginning of the year, and another 20 million was lost in <<The Way to Upgrade the Concubine>>. Coupled with the previous online dramas that failed to provide a return, Dingyuan’s capital chain was wavering and it was lucky that it was not already breaking down.
Gu Ruijia and Ye Fei did not mind invading each other’s privacy, and looking over each other’s shoulder to peek at their phones was not a big deal. Gu Ruijia clicked his tongue and rested his chin on Ye Fei’s shoulder. “Ye Yao is really trying to die. That’s 80 million; he has to take it off the company’s account books, right?”
“Get off, you’re heavy.” Ye Fei twisted his shoulders and shrugged Gu Ruijia off. “He can get some funds, but not that much. Dingyuan was losing money even before I quit; and my dad secretly used the money I made to buy real estate for Ye Yao. You also know that those few houses were sold by Ye Yao a while ago —”
“— To pay off the debt, it’s either Dingyuan or the house.”
“He definitely won’t sell off his home,” Gu Ruijia contemplated before he started to gloat, “He must sell Dingyuan then. After all, Ye Yao is his precious pearl.”

“Ktfc P’ii tjnf ab mbggfma sbe,” Tf Mfl rlqqfv tlr kjafg, “Glcusejc lr ws vjv’r qgfmlber qfjgi.”
For a phoenix man like Father Ye, his humble beginnings had left him with a me-first attitude. Dingyuan was the foundation of his success; he would never touch it unless it was his last resort.

As a result, the money was yet to be returned. Instead, the collateral was lost in advance. Ye Fei chuckled, and put down his phone.
“Let him dream.”
“Oi, you should take me seriously…” Ye Fei’s phone interrupted Gu Ruijia’s sentence. It was a call from an unknown number.
In the film and television industry, it was a habit to pick up every call. Who knew if it could be some Grade-A resource knocking on your door? So Ye Fei was only taken aback for a moment before he accepted the call.
“Ye Fei,” Father Ye’s voice was full of weariness, a complete one-eighty from the previous time. “Help me raise 80 million.”
Ye Fei put the mobile phone on the table, turned on the speakerphone, silently mouthed to Gu Ruijia, and then replied, “No money.”
“Now is not the time to be angry, A-Fei.” Father Ye’s headache grew as he thought about the creditors at his doorstep. “You should have heard about your brother…”
“Oi,” Ye Fei interrupted him impatiently, “What does that have to do with me?”
Father Ye took a deep breath and suppressed the fire burning in his chest. “A-Yao is your brother who shares the same blood and bones!”
“How come I didn’t know that?” When Ye Fei got mad, he could really make the other party vomit blood. He gave a sly chuckle and sneered, “Why don’t you break his bones and show me?”
“You—”
“Don’t call me in the future,” Ye Fei coldly said, “Don’t worry, I will be a filial son and give you an allowance. What is the minimum wage standard in Feng City this year? Oh, two thousand yuan, I will definitely give you that and no less.”
Without giving Father Ye a chance to retort, Ye Fei hung up and blacklisted the number.
“Wow, that’s mean!” Gu Ruijia howled beside him.
“Thank you, thank you.” Ye Fei’s lips curled up. Gu Ruijia stayed with Ye Fei for a while, and then went back to his office to work. As soon as he left, the smile on Ye Fei’s face disappeared.
With a pig teammate like Ye Yao, the Ye family would grow increasingly short of funds. Ye Fei pondered this, picked up the intercom phone, and dialed the legal department. “Let the in-house counsel come to my office.”
Although he and Yan Xiao had a contractual marriage, it was still recognized by law. If he were to die one day, Father Ye would be the chief beneficiary to the matrimonial assets of he and Yan Xiao. Ye Fei’s eyes grew cold. He needed to make sure that Yan Xiao’s hard-earned money did not come to these people, and thus a will had to be made.
Ye Fei’s entire day was busy, and he neglected to check the time. It was only when Yan Xiao called and asked him what he wanted for dinner that he came back to his senses.
“Japanese-style barbecue,” Ye Fei thought for a while, and told Yan Xiao, “Come and pick me up, I’ll book the restaurant.”
“Okay.” Yan Xiao agreed, and asked Ye Fei to wait for him downstairs. Ye Fei hung up, picked a restaurant he frequented and booked a seat.
It took twenty minutes for Yan Xiao to arrive. The driver respectfully opened the door for Ye Fei, and waited for him to sit firmly and fasten his seatbelt before going around to the front.
“Here’s the location,” Ye Fei handed his phone to the driver, “it shouldn’t be too far.”
The driver nodded: “Okay.” He returned the phone to Ye Fei and started the car.
“Brother Yan,” Ye Fei raised his head, smiled at Yan Xiao, and commented, “I’m a little cold.”
Yan Xiao gently touched the back of his hand and told the driver,”Turn up the heat.”
Ye Fei sighed.
“Why are you sighing?” Yan Xiao asked. In response, Ye Fei clasped Yan Xiao’s hand, and blinked rapidly at him.
“This way it won’t be cold.” Yan Xiao was confused at this action. He then realized that Ye Fei wanted to hold hands with him. The left corner of his lip tilted upwards, Yan Xiao gripped Ye Fei’s hand and entwined his fingers.
The Japanese barbecue restaurant Ye Fei chose was not luxurious, but it had private booths. Luckily, he managed to book the last one remaining. The restaurant was not crowded, and their dishes arrived quickly. There was even a dedicated waiter to help them barbecue their meat. Ye Fei took a piece of grilled beef tongue, dipped it in the sauce, put it in his mouth, and sighed. “It’s been a long time since I ate this.”
“We can come back tomorrow.” Ye Fei was amused at this.
“If we keep eating the same thing, we’ll be tired of it. Next time, we can have Sichuan cuisine together.”
It felt good to have Ye Fei be so accommodating. Yan Xiao let out a hum and though his face remained expressionless, he gulped down a few extra pieces of meat. He sat as though he was attending an international conference, with excellent posture and etiquette. Due to his solemn and straight-laced appearance, he looked listless even in the vivacious and bubbly atmosphere.
Ye Fei took a sip of beer, and his smile grew increasingly fox-like. Yan Xiao, who had not noticed this, was surprised when he felt someone rubbing against his calf as he picked up a piece of beef.
Three people were in the booth, and the waiter was busy barbecuing the meat. It was obvious who was the person responsible.
“Ye Fei.” Yan Xiao’s eyes darkened.
“Huh? What’s the matter?” Ye Fei raised his chin with an innocent look, but the legs underneath the table grew even more insatiable. The constant caresses had triggered a hot flush in Yan Xiao’s cheeks, and the latter felt his body heating up.
“Do you want to eat this too?” Ye Fei put a piece of beef tongue on Yan Xiao’s plate. The more honest his expression, the more frequently his calf touched Yan Xiao’s. Yan Xiao’s breaths grew heavier, his throat thirstier, and it took all of his self-discipline not to nail Ye Fei on the spot.
It was a miracle their dinner was finished.
While traveling home, Yan Xiao kept his eyes on the floor, willing his restraint to remain while the driver was still sharing the car. At home, he snapped.
Ye Fei was pushed against the door, his hands restrained above his head, and Yan Xiao unleashed a litany of fierce kisses. The room was filled with the sound of kisses and the smell of hormones.
At the end, Ye Fei’s lips were swollen red, and his eyes had misted over. Tears had trickled down his cheeks as he hugged Yan Xiao’s neck and breathlessly hissed, “President Yan is so impatient.”
Yan Xiao clutched his waist and trailed his cheek with another round of pecks. “You seduced me.”
Ye Fei was leaning against the door for support. However, he refused to admit defeat just yet, and pushed against Yan Xiao. “Who knew you couldn’t resist me?”
Yan Xiao’s Adam’s apple quivered. Without hesitation, Yan Xiao picked him up and strode towards the master bedroom. Ye Fei let out a flirtatious giggle and leaned his face against Yan Xiao’s shoulder. “I haven’t taken a shower yet.” He coquettishly whined.
Yan Xiao smooched his fair neck and collarbone, and hoarsely responded, “Together.”
