The moment Lin Ruyu came down from upstairs and heard the words, she stomped her foot angrily and thought to herself: Stupid man, do you really think I want to go out with you? And you keep waving your hand telling me not to go.

"Humph!" Lin Ruyu snorted at Ye Hao who had just stepped out, shaking her fair-skinned legs as she sat on the sofa...

"Hey! What's wrong with my darling daughter? Was she snorting at her dad just now?" Lin Tian joked cheerfully with his daughter, pondering if perhaps she overheard Ye Hao saying it wasn't necessary to take her out. However, isn't her reaction a bit too abnormal? Just going out for a bit, is it that big a deal?

But how would Lin Tian know what sensitive women think? As the saying goes, a woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea!

"How dare I, I was snorting at that guy, going out to have fun and not taking me, that's just not cool." Lin Ruyu didn't hide her annoyance at Ye Hao for going out without her. Through this time, her understanding of Ye Hao wasn't like before, feeling like he was a burden whenever she saw Ye Hao. Now she genuinely wishes he'd take her out to play.

Even though Ye Hao's identity is more of a bodyguard, she couldn't quite explain why she keeps thinking of going out with Ye Hao, to the extent that when Su Qing occasionally invites her out, she shows little to no interest. Of course! If Ye Hao were to be there, she might stay out a bit longer, secretly comforting herself that it's just to have Ye Hao carry more shopping bags for her.

"Haha! Well then, you can go out, right? He's in the driveway starting the car, surely hasn't driven off yet. Go ahead, dad won't wait for you to come back for dinner." Lin Tian chuckled, watching his daughter with amusement, thinking how the young people nowadays are truly different from his generation.

"I don't want to." Lin Ruyu pouted, then started watching television...

As Ye Hao drove off, he headed straight to the agreed location, which was a roadside stall, bustling with all sorts of people, from those of the underworld, to workers and white-collar professionals. Ye Hao couldn't figure out why the top three young masters of Peng City would enjoy coming to such a place. Of course! That wasn't to say Ye Hao disliked it here, rather he couldn't understand why Xue Zhaolong and his friends, being so wealthy, preferred roadside stalls.

When he arrived, Xue Zhaolong and others were already chugging bottles, and they were doing it openly, without the usual decorum of high society people, even wearing slippers with a foot propped up on a chair!

"Cheers! Dammit, I don't believe I can't drink you under the table." Xue Zhaolong, standing at 1.8 meters tall, raised a glass, towering over Zhuorong Town, and shouted loudly.

"Hell! Don't think you can out-drink me just because you're taller. Cheers." Zhuorong Town wasn't about to be outdone, directly picking up a bottle and chugging away, leaving Ye Hao to marvel at how these young people drink the beer in one gulp...

"Hey! Is the boss here?" Lu Yunsong was bored flipping through the dishes but got excited when he saw Ye Hao ahead, jumping up and shouting.

Ye Hao smiled and walked over, but before he could say a word, Xue Zhaolong and Zhuorong Town shouted: "Ye Hao, you're late, three bottles as a penalty. Dammit, if you don't do it, you're not a man."

Upon hearing this, Ye Hao opened three bottles of beer and guzzled them down. When the three bottles were emptied, everyone was a bit dumbfounded, and when they looked at Ye Hao's stomach, they realized it hadn't changed much. They were both surprised and curious, what kind of stomach was this? Drinking three bottles of beer without a change?

"Small matter, if I wasn't worried you'd be unable to keep up with me, I'd take all three of you down myself." Ye Hao said with a smug grin, as he funneled the beer into the spatial ring with a thousand square meters within, he could drink up tens of thousands of bottles and wouldn't get drunk.

"Wow, Ye Hao is no ordinary person!" Zhuorong Town hiccupped and praised.

Xue Zhaolong awkwardly said: "You're incredible. No wonder Lin likes you. From now on, we're brothers, and a brother's wife is untouchable. Mr. Ye, I'll drink this with you," Xue Zhaolong finished, raising a glass and drinking it all.

"Heh heh, if you don't cause trouble for me, I'm already grateful. Honestly! Living with Lin, I'm just a bodyguard, protecting them, so let's be friends, no need to be too formal." Ye Hao didn't want to hide from some friends, although he was lazy to explain to those he wasn't close to.

Yet these three had gone through life-and-death experiences as friends! Although occasionally, they exchanged playful insults, it was all in good fun without crossing the line.

They all had thoughtful expressions somehow, a bodyguard?

But they couldn't figure out what kind of bodyguard. Lu Yunsong shook his head and looked mysteriously at Ye Hao, saying: "Boss, do you know why we came looking for you this time?"

"For what? If it's something beneficial, spill the beans. If it's labor, I'm out." Ye Hao joked, but his eyes were expectant, waiting for Lu Yunsong to continue.

"It's of course something good, ha ha, but before I say the good stuff, I want to ask, can you take a three-day leave? Of course, you need to handle everything properly, or else I don't want you coming to us looking for wages if Lin stirs trouble." Lu Yunsong was half-joking, but about the three-day leave, indeed Ye Hao would have to ask Lin Tian.

"If it's something good, taking leave is naturally possible; if it's not, taking leave would just be a waste of time, naturally I wouldn't take leave." Ye Hao gave a vague answer, hoping for Lu Yunsong to reveal what the secret matter was.

"Alright! I'll tell you, and you think about whether you want to take a leave!" Lu Yunsong nodded and said, "Here's the thing: we got a tip that under Peng City Bay, there's a large quantity of Luminous Pearls appearing, each with a diameter of ten centimeters. According to historical trading prices, each pearl is worth millions! If we can collect hundreds of them, wouldn't we be making a fortune?"

After Lu Yunsong said this, the three of them simultaneously looked at Ye Hao, hoping to see some interest on his face.

To their surprise, Ye Hao just rolled his eyes at Lu Yunsong and said, "You three Peng City big shots, are you actually concerned about the money from these hundreds of Luminous Pearls?"

Ye Hao's comment caused the three to simultaneously have an expression as if their fathers had died. Lu Yunsong shrugged helplessly and said, "Boss, you don't get it. Although we're well-known in Peng City, our families really don't give us much money! Look, why do you think we're here eating at a street food stall?" Lu Yunsong pointed at the food stall and continued, "That's because we threw some pointless party at Yiwu Villa and blew a whole month's allowance. Now we're as poor as dogs."

As Lu Yunsong said this, he felt unbearably sad, and internally he was shouting, damn it, freaking rich man's son! Although we have the title of being wealthy heirs, the monthly allowance is only a little over ten thousand; what kind of rich person is that? Truly wealthy people, like my dad, spend a hundred thousand just on a meal...

"No way? Are you guys really that miserable?" Ye Hao asked them sympathetically.

"It's more than miserable, it's downright inhumane. We three pooled together thirty thousand, had a few drinks in Yiwu, and for the past week, we've been eating fast food outside. Damn it!" Xue Zhaolong said, slapping his forehead in frustration.

"I've been eating fast food for a week, and diarrhea for three days, damn it." Zhuorong Town didn't show any exaggerated expressions, but his words completely shocked Ye Hao.

"Haha! You guys are a bunch of broke bastards," Ye Hao mocked them without holding back, then continued, "But you said Luminous Pearls appeared in Peng City Bay, how true is this info?"

"A pearl couldn't be this real. Even though these reports are officially blocked, people like us, the big shots, find it easier to get information than eating tofu. Besides, some wealthy folks have already occupied Peng City Bay and even sent their capable assistants in to start diving for Luminous Pearls. Of course, even if they started early, it doesn't mean they'll get them; luck is the most important thing." Lu Yunsong, thinking Ye Hao was interested, looked at him with even more anticipation.

If the three of them went alone, they dared to go, but they didn't want to waste time because even though they could swim for ten hours with oxygen tanks, it was useless! Finding those Luminous Pearls with a diameter of only ten centimeters in the vast sea was harder than climbing to heaven. But going with Ye Hao, who was stronger than them, gave them much more confidence.

"Oh? Do you guys have diving equipment? A yacht?" Ye Hao asked.

"No." The three dejectedly waved their hands but looked at Ye Hao.

"Why are you looking at me! Don't expect anything from me; you guys have nothing and still want to go to sea?" Ye Hao glared at them, but he was also tempted. After all, Luminous Pearls were treasures of the sea, formed over thousands or tens of thousands of years with some Spiritual Qi. If he could absorb some Spiritual Qi for his cultivation and sell them for money, why not?

"Hehe! We believe in you, Mr. Ye." The three laughed together, giving Ye Hao a somewhat ambiguous look, thinking that his future father-in-law was ranked among the top ten international billionaires; surely getting a yacht and some diving suits wasn't a problem?

"Screw off! But let me think about it." Ye Hao was tempted but didn't want to make it easy for them, so he yelled at them.

Though Ye Hao yelled at them, their faces showed even brighter smiles because Ye Hao said he'd consider it, and if he's considering, that means they have a fifty-fifty chance. If there's a chance, they'll pursue it.

After drinking with them for over half an hour, Ye Hao finally left, returning home at ten o'clock, exhaling with a bit of relief.

He really feared coming back too late and angering a certain lady, which might prevent him from going to sea!

Actually, Ye Hao wanted to get a yacht to check out his fifty-kilometer sea area and see how he could utilize it in the future and such.

"You're back?" Lin Ruyu, watching TV, turned her head to look at Ye Hao just as he entered the door.

Ye Hao's heart warmed; even though it wasn't explicitly stated as his home, having someone ask if he's back and show some care was enough.

"Yeah! Why aren't you resting yet?" Ye Hao asked with a smile as he walked over, though he had other things on his mind.
