"Let's talk about it next time! Goodnight, fake girlfriend." Ye Hao smiled and turned to leave...

He muttered to himself, is this fake wife turning into a real one? With that thought, Ye Hao walked even faster, feeling like a pair of sorrowful eyes were watching him from behind...

Indeed, Xia Zhu felt quite resentful watching Ye Hao leave without any reaction to her kiss. She cursed him inwardly as a cowardly jerk, even wondering if she would be less angry if Ye Hao had some of those indecent thoughts he confessed to pondering before.

With such thoughts, she blushed and chastised herself for having such wild imaginations.

Xia Zhu's mother watched Ye Hao leave from the window on the fourth floor, feeling quite disappointed. How she wished her daughter would keep Ye Hao around! But she found some small comfort in the fact that her daughter at least kissed Ye Hao...

"Mom, you're such a gossip." Xia Liu was not staying out; now that his mother was better, he was living at home again. In the past, without a job or money, going home would only put more pressure on Xia Zhu, so he used to couch-surf elsewhere.

"What do you know, didn't you see your sister kissed your brother-in-law?" Mrs. Xia glared at Xia Liu and huffed.

"I kiss other people's daughters all the time, but they don't want me either. I feel like the brother-in-law is quite mysterious; big sis may not be able to win his heart." Xia Liu said mysteriously.

"Go to bed, you talk too much."

Though Mrs. Xia glared at Xia Liu, she also wondered secretly whether her daughter should speed things up. She nodded to herself, thinking it might be best to turn uncooked rice into cooked rice, lest the son-in-law find someone else... (God said: Auntie, are you the one getting married, or is your daughter?)

It was almost midnight when Ye Hao got home.

Lin Ruyu and Su Qing would glance at the door from time to time, but Ye Hao was still not there.

Lin Ruyu's face was frosty. When Ye Hao first went out, they didn't say anything, but now it was midnight, and he hadn't returned. They couldn't reach him over the phone either; how could Lin Ruyu not be mad?

Even though they no longer treated Ye Hao as just a bodyguard, his being out so late annoyed them. They internally comforted themselves, thinking it was due to worrying about his safety. But their true feelings might not be as simple as that.

"Click!"

The sound of a card swipe and fingerprint scan came from outside, drawing Lin Ruyu's and Su Qing's attention.

Ye Hao came in and saw they hadn't gone to bed yet. He walked over and said with a laugh, "Why are you still up? Ruyu, if I remember correctly, shouldn't you be getting to bed earlier these days?"

At his words, Lin Ruyu blushed, but she also gave Ye Hao a sidelong glance and asked, "Where did you go? Your phone was unreachable. Don't you know to call home if you're going out late at night?"

"Forgot to charge my phone. Didn't go anywhere much; the head teacher's mom invited me over for dinner." Ye Hao didn't hide anything and said directly.

"Oh? Why did she invite you to dinner, Ye?" Su Qing looked at Ye Hao with some resentment and asked.

"Because I snatched decades of life from King Yama for her." Ye Hao laughed with pride at that. He was filled with emotion; things he'd never dared to think about before were happening to him now.

Ye Hao then proceeded to tell them how he saved Xia Zhu's mother.

"Is that all?" Lin Ruyu skeptically asked again.

"That's about it. There were some shenanigans, but those aren't worth mentioning." Ye Hao awkwardly glanced at Lin Ruyu. For some reason, he'd been unable to meet Lin Ruyu's eyes since his return.

Could Lin Ruyu be like a tigress? Was he truly afraid of her? Definitely not, Ye Hao assured himself. But then why? Could it be that he was in love...

At this thought, Ye Hao's heart shouted, "No way would I like her."

"What kind of shenanigans? Even though you aren't officially our bodyguard anymore, we still have the right to know about your whereabouts. Your explanation about going to Teacher Xia's house was too brief; I want to know more details."

With no other choice, Ye Hao reluctantly explained more to Lin Ruyu and Su Qing, but of course, he didn't dare mention the kiss from Xia Zhu, fearing she'd skin him alive if he did.

Unfortunately, the best-laid plans often go awry. As Ye Hao was about to shower, the sharp-eyed Su Qing called out, "Ye, wait a moment."

"What?"

Ye Hao felt a bit uneasy since he claimed to have told everything, except for the kiss.

"Come here."

Ye Hao turned his right cheek over, wondering if she had noticed something.

"The left side..."

Ye Hao grew nervous. Why did Su Qing want to look at his left cheek? Wasn't it the side Xia Zhu kissed? Could there be a mark left?

Thinking of this, Ye Hao laughed awkwardly to cover his embarrassment, "What's up, kid? Got nothing better to do? I'm going to shower now."

With that, Ye Hao quickly made his escape without delay.

"Stop." Lin Ruyu also seemed to sense some shine on Ye Hao's face. If she guessed correctly, it must have been lipstick.

Lipstick on Ye Hao's face? Lin Ruyu's face turned cold...

Ye Hao swiftly used his hand to rub his cheek in a concealed manner, avoiding detection by Su Qing and Lin Ruyu.

"What are you two doing, being all mysterious?" Ye Hao turned his head, slightly annoyed, but inwardly he was still anxious, hoping he'd wiped it all off...

"Come here," Lin Ruyu beckoned with her finger.

"No way." Ye Hao stood his ground, telling himself he's not an idiot to show them the evidence of someone else's kiss.

"Hmph!" Lin Ruyu and Su Qing both huffed in unison, stepping lightly to stand in front of Ye Hao.

Lin Ruyu walked to Ye Hao's left side, her eyes wide open. She could only see a tiny bit of light, but she put on an expression of having discovered something significant.

"Ye Hao, you actually..." Lin Ruyu's acting almost made Ye Hao kneel on the spot!

Ye Hao quickly explained, "Listen to me, it was like this. When I was saying goodbye to Teacher Xia, she didn't want her mom to be upset, so she lightly touched my face with her lips. Really, just a touch, I barely felt anything, it was like a mosquito bite."

"Oh..." Su Qing and Lin Ruyu dragged out the sound.

Both of them felt a little sour, looking at Ye Hao with annoyance.

"What on earth, you guys? It's really like that, we were just acting." Ye Hao explained once more.

Lin Ruyu let out a coquettish snort, stepped on Ye Hao's foot lightly, then flung her arms and headed up to the second floor...

"Hmph!" Su Qing followed suit, giving a hard stomp...

Both women left the scene, and for some reason, Ye Hao felt like someone was fond of him. His heart felt sweet!

Could it be that they're jealous? It's one thing for Su Girl to be jealous, but Miss Lin too? Oh, that graceful figure of Miss Lin walking upstairs... ahem, Ye Hao felt his thoughts turning wicked.

At night, Lin Ruyu and Su Qing lay on the bed without speaking, tossing and turning unable to sleep.

After a long while, Su Qing finally spoke up, "Yuyu, do you think Ye is too bad? We need to warn him, or he'll corrupt us both."

"How do you want to warn him?" Lin Ruyu asked, lying in bed gloomily.

"Tell him not to get too close to other women! You see, during dinner yesterday, Ji Keci showed up, and last night it was Teacher Xia Zhu. We can't keep watching this happen." Su Qing said, raising her little head.

"Then you go tell him, see how he reacts?"

"Yuyu, you go, you're the real lady here."

"You go!"

"Yuyu, you go."

"Are you going or not?"

"I..."

"Fine, then let Ye change women every day!" After Lin Ruyu finished speaking, she covered her face with the blanket.

"I... I never said I wouldn't go." Su Qing said, feeling wronged, then slipped on her shoes and went out.

Just as she went out, Lin Ruyu followed to the door, trying to listen in...

"Knock knock knock!"

Su Qing nervously knocked on Ye Hao's door.

Ye Hao was lying down when he heard the knock, wearing just shorts, he went over and opened the door.

"What's up?" Ye Hao opened the door, covering his lower body.

"Ye..." Su Qing started calling softly, but remembered she was there to warn Ye Hao, so she spoke loudly, "Ye, Yuyu said you can't get too close to other women. If rumors start, she said she'll make sure you pay!"

In the room, Lin Ruyu, hearing this, felt like throwing a bra at Su Qing. That girl was clearly talking nonsense, when did I ever say such a thing... although she thought this, she didn't say it out loud!

"Really?" Ye Hao asked teasingly, seeing Su Qing's face turn adorably red.

"Of course it's true, would I lie to you? Anyway, Yuyu said so, whether you listen or not is up to you." Su Qing finished speaking and was about to leave.

"Haha, then I won't listen." Ye Hao said, making it look like he was about to close the door to sleep, which made Lin Ruyu come out of the room and push open Ye Hao's door forcefully...

Lin Ruyu shouted in her heart, you bastard, why won't you listen to what I say? Just because this lady isn't roaring like a tiger doesn't mean you can treat me like a sick cat!

"Pfft!"

The door was pushed open forcefully by Lin Ruyu, and although Ye Hao tried to stop it with strength, seeing the furious tigress, he decisively let go and let her push it open.

But he forgot he was still in his briefs, with a prominent bulge...

Lin Ruyu, after opening the door, looked over with Su Qing...

"Ah!"

A scream echoed through the entire villa...

Ye Hao quickly covered his crotch, but seeing Lin Ruyu and Su Qing still shouting loudly, he swiftly reached out to cover their mouths...

Lin Ruyu and Su Qing saw this, eyes wide open, and fainted from anger. (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
