Xin Xiaolu’s big mouth shouted such a sentence before he got kicked in his butt, and he turned his head to look at who did so. His older brother withdrew and went far away. His boss didn’t even look at him, a pair of black-colored eyes staring intently at his sister-in-law……
Yuan Xi’s mouth twitched, although he couldn’t comprehend why the young boy called him so, but the scene he had just watched was clear. The boy just shouted those words out, and the man who looked like Yuan Zhe lifted his leg. He responded to the other’s words by beating his ass, and he was very skilled and proficient when doing so as it did not look like he did it.
After that, he took a step forward and politely reached out to Yuan Xi. His voice and face were absolutely proportional, “Hello, I am Ye Heng.”
Ye Heng? Yuan Xi’s heart moved, what was the relationship between this person and the cheap baby daddy Ye Huai, since he had introduced himself first, Yuan Xi could not ignore it so he stretched out his hand and said, “Hello, my name is Lin Xi.”
A handshake is a common way for strangers to greet one another. Under normal circumstances, the two people will let go after they gently grip the other’s hands, but when Yuan Xi reached out and was held by Ye Heng, despite finishing their introduction, the person does not seem to have the intention of loosening their hands.
Yuan Xi frowned and tried to pull his hand out, but he didn’t succeed… The second time he tried, the other person’s hand was still quite big and strong but Yuan Xi was not a weak chicken, he worked all year round, and the strength of his hand was not small. As soon as he tried hard, he defended his attack and made great efforts. He sharply saw the other eyebrows rise. Hey, it was hurting him, since you want to bully Laozi then you must bear the consequences.
Sure enough, Ye Heng let go of his hand, but his mouth hooked up when he looked at him, and there was a faint smile in his eyes. Yuan Xi was so uncomfortable when he was being stared at by him like this, and what does that smile mean? Why does it seem to be belittling him?
Although that brief interaction was a small action, Xin Xialuo saw it, and his heart was turbulent. He thought, sure enough, it was his sister-in-law, what a bull, he dared to bully the boss as soon as he came, this is difficult… Could it be… Is the legendary showing love by beating or scolding? Aiya, it’s too esoteric… he was blushing.
Xin Yunze reluctantly pushed the glasses, stepped forward, and asked Zhang Deshen, “Deshen, is this father’s guest?”
Zhang Deshen came back to his senses and quickly introduced the two sides to one another, “This is Mr. Lin Xi, the son of the deputy, who came to Beijing to visit this time. He especially visited the general in order to read the full text of the war.”
Then he turned to Yuan Xi and said to him, “This is Major General Ye Heng, these two are the sons of our general, Xin Yunze and Xin Xialuo.”

Yuan Xi, one by one was introduced to the other party- Xin Yunze’s movement is perfect, and although Xin Xialuo felt very embarrassed, his etiquette was not bad.

When Yuan Xi thought about it, he nodded. He wanted to solve the problem earlier and go home early to see his son.
At this time, Ye Heng squinted his eyes and Xin Yunze. Xin Yunze coughed, pushed the glasses, and asked, “Major General… would you also like a light meal?”
Ye Heng answered cleanly, “Yes.”
At this time, Xin Xialuo smiled wickedly on the side, but he saw Ye Heng’s black leather boots out of the corner of his eye and quickly covered his mouth to avoid punishment- when his sister-in-law had yet to come just now, they invited Ye Heng to stay for dinner in every possible way, but he declined and said that there was something he had to attend to at the headquarters so he had to go back. But at this moment, when he saw that his sister-in-law was going to stay, he didn’t leave … Ahem… His sister-in-law is mighty and domineering.
When entering the house, Yuan Xi gave out the gift prepared for Admiral Xin. It was not a special nor exquisite gift, it was just a special product of Blue Star. Before coming here, he also consulted Yuan Yucheng, this was a gift prepared in his opinion. He dared not say it was luxurious, but it was from their hearts and of good intention.
Xin Yunze looked at it, smiled accepted it, and said thank you, then he took the intelligent machine to prepare dinner.
The dinner was prepared very heartily, the intelligent robot was very capable, not to mention anything else, the speed was first-class, and many dishes could be cooked, and the many strange dishes served were an eye-opener to Yuan Xi.
He is not a picky eater so he can eat anything, and because he likes to cook, he cares about the choice of ingredients, but even so, he has a slight preference for taste, he likes spicier dishes and he especially likes desserts.
Therefore, he was very interested in one of the red boiled fish fillets, this method is very familiar, but this fish, Yuan Xi had never seen this kind of fish where the meat is not pure white, but a little light yellow, and the taste is very good, smooth and tender and elastic- after it is mixed with pepper and the soup, it has a very good aftertaste.
It’s just a pity that the fish meat is not very well handled, the heat temperature was a little too much so the fish meat is slightly woody, and the fish bones were not clean… Yuan Xi had little itchy hands while eating, thinking that if he cooked this dish, he could guarantee to do better.
It’s a pity that he can only think about it, this is in someone else’s house, and he is a guest, so why would the guests be doing the cooking, Yuan Xi still can’t help but ask, “What kind of fish is this? It’s delicious.”
Both Xin Yunze and Xin Xialuo were being asked this question, but these are two young masters who have been well-taken care of, how would they know what fish this is? It is good to remember the name of the dish on most days, as for what material is made of, how can they know?
“This is a Yamaso fish, a specialty of Amazon, the meat is tender and strong, and it tastes good, right?” Ye Heng was sitting next to Yuan Xi, and when he heard Yuan Xi asking, he naturally answered.
Yuan Xi nodded wildly, “It’s delicious.”
Ye Heng said, “Don’t underestimate this fish, although its meat is tender, it has a copper skin and iron shell, and it is extremely offensive, it is not simple to catch, so its value in the market is not low.”
Yuan Xi was very interested when he heard it, he was an earthling, and his earthen knowledge was to the extreme, so his eyes suddenly shone when he heard these strange creatures.
Ye Heng’s intentions were there and he immediately used chopsticks to clamp a piece of emerald green vegetables, this green vegetable shape is also very special, like petals, but emerald green, very chic, he put it on Yuan Xi’s plate, and said, “Try this, flower leaf vegetables, is a specialty of Hundred Flower Star, the taste is fresh, especially after eating more spicy and greasy, when you taste a piece, you’ll get the best taste.”
Yuan Xi quickly clamped it up and put it in his mouth, and instantly a cold wave crossed the tip of his tongue, this flower leaf vegetable melted in his mouth, he had originally eaten too much spicy food so his mouth was burning, but this time it was cool for a while, instantly making his mouth feel very comfortable. Yuan Xi turned his head to look at Ye Heng and said with admiration, “It’s delicious.”
Ye Heng glanced at him, smiled slightly, and said, “The origin of flower leaf vegetables is in Hundred Flower Star, which is a paradise for plants, edible plants account for eighty percent of their produce, and it is a very beautiful planet…”
When Yuan Xi heard this, his eyes lit up, and his eyes looked at Ye Heng without blinking.
Xin Xialuo and Xin Yunze’s chopsticks that were watching on the sidelines were about to fall to the ground.
Xin Xialuo: I have long known that the boss is a genius, but I didn’t expect him to be so knowledgeable, it is simply a mobile encyclopedia!
Xin Yunze, who is stable and serious and introverted, was also shocked in his heart: Big brother, others don’t know, but I do, you are simply connected to Nebula Wisdom Brain at this time! Doesn’t it matter if you use ‘Nebula’ to make your wife happy?
Yuan Xi, who did not know the truth, was extra happy to eat this meal, and also greatly improved his impression of Ye Heng. Originally, he felt that this person was a little arrogant, but he didn’t expect him to be so knowledgeable, and the conversation was very humorous, the person is still very good! Extra points, he must give points!
As for Ye Heng’s wallet, it was bleeding profusely as he updated the search program ‘Nebula’ multiple times.

After the meal, Admiral Xin also returned.
Seeing Admiral Xin, Yuan Xi was a little surprised, Xin Yunze was tall and slender, handsome, but his expression was a little too serious and awe-inspiring, and Xin Xialuo, it may be because of his age, but he was shorter, and his face looked beautiful and cute.
These two are relatively orthodox handsome guys, but Admiral Xin… looked like a rough man.
He is tall, nearly sixty years old but still strong, with short hair that is firm and stiff, thick eyebrows, deep eyes, and a pointy nose. Although there is the shadow of the Xin family brothers when you look at him closely, it is covered by his beard, and because the man himself was in multiple battles, he saw a lot of blood, and he couldn’t hide his temperament.
As soon as he came in, he laughed and said a loud voice, and when he saw Yuan Xi, “Child, I’ve let you wait for a long time.”
Yuan Xi was first shocked by his loud voice, and then shocked by his enthusiasm, and barely calmed down before he spoke, “Hello Uncle Xin.”
Xin Ruian patted him on the shoulder and said, “Okay, come, sit down and talk to uncle.”
Yuan Xi answered and sat down next to Xin Ruian.
Xin Ruian was most concerned about Yuan Yucheng and his wife, so he asked a lot of questions about the two of them. Yuan Xi came prepared, he was articulate, he was not fast or slow, and it seemed that he was born with a smile on his face, and he was extra pleasing to talk with.
Others are listening, focusing on the content of the words, but Ye Heng is different.
He kept staring at Yuan Xi, looking at his crooked eyes, the smiling corners of his mouth, and the shallow dimples, and his heart couldn’t help but feel a little itchy.
Yuan Xi’s appearance is very good, especially when compared to the Ye family, who is known for their appearance, it is even better that he has a different type of attractiveness, his skin is not very white, but it is a healthy wheat color, and smooth and delicate, hmm… Ye Heng recalled that it felt very good.
The first encounter between Ye Heng and Yuan Xi was still very etched in his mind.
Although Yuan Xi didn’t have any memories, Ye Heng remembered them clearly.
Thanks for the update🙏
