Clearly sensing his rejection, Bai Jingqi still managed a smile towards Cheng Ye: "Cheng Ye? Are you there?"

Cheng Ye looked at him warily: "This is my home, where else can I be if not here?"

Bai Jingqi's facial features twisted slightly as he said with a smile, "You're such a jokester. Aren't you two still married?"

Cheng Ye narrowed his eyes and sighed, "Bai Jingqi, you're so pitiful! I don't know what to do with you. You keep pestering me. I should hate you, but... I also feel like I should sympathize with you. It's such a complicated and conflicting feeling."

Bai Jingqi's face showed a bit of ferocity: "I need your sympathy? A miner from a remote village?"

He looked around, a hint of nostalgia on his face, but he seemed uneasy, and it was obvious that he wanted to change the subject: "This place hasn't changed much since before."

Cheng Ye sneered: "This house is the main residence of the Lei family. The last time it was renovated was more than 30 years ago."

Bai Jingqi looked at him blankly.

Cheng Ye arched her brows. "Lei Xiu said this place is centrally located, with convenient transportation. It's very close to his company and my school, and the security measures are very complete. After we get married, as long as I agree, there's a high probability that we'll live here. So I've always thought it... is the wedding house."

He raised his eyebrows, glanced at Bai Jingqi and said, "Seeing you like it so much, I thought you were going to say that Lei Xiu was built according to your requirements, so... I'm indirectly reminding you that this lie of sowing discord is a bit low-level."

Bai Jingqi was stunned for a moment, frowning tightly, his eyes fixed on the rose garden in the yard.

In this rose garden, neither the white roses nor the red roses have undergone mutations. The cultivation steps are very complicated and tedious. It is not easy for them to survive, let alone bloom so luxuriantly.

When Cheng Ye first moved in, Xiaoyu would pick two or three flowers still with water droplets on them every morning when she cleaned the house, put them in a transparent crystal bottle, and place it on the dining table.

The scent of flowers that have not undergone mutation is very light and can only serve as an ornamental purpose. In order to increase its presence, Xiaoyu usually sprays some rose-scented air freshener, which can enhance the smell of the roses.

Cheng Ye was a very casual person, and he didn't notice it at first, but later -

While Xiaoyu thought it was hilarious and unnecessary, she also felt sympathy for the poor rose, so she stopped doing this task.

Could it be that Bai Jingqi wants to make something of these roses?

He rolled his eyes.

As expected, Bai Jingqi's lips curved upwards. "I like roses very much, but I really don't like the vibrant colors of the mutated roses. I think they're too gaudy, and the scent is also too high-brow. In comparison, I still prefer the elegant fragrance before the mutation." He looked at Cheng Ye's face meaningfully. "Brother Lei Xiu also said so. He likes fresh and unworldly roses. He hates seductive ones the most. They look very indecent."

Yes, yes, yes, he likes the white lotus that is pure and untainted in the mud the most.

Or you can just say he likes you the most.

Cheng Ye tilted his head, pretending not to understand. "You mean these roses? They were there before I moved in, but I don't know if they're there just because you like them. But I want to say, if I say a word right now, not to mention roses, there won't even be a blade of grass in this yard! And, even though the plants before they mutated were very precious and rare, if I tell them to disappear, the method isn't to move them, but to burn them all! Lei Xiu won't even blink an eye!"

Bai Jingqi's breathing stagnated. He knew that Lei Xiu didn't care about these things at all.

He also knew that when Lei Xiu truly loved someone, he would pamper that person to the skies. Not to mention losing a rose garden, it was not impossible for the owner of this house to be completely changed!

Bai Jingqi held it in for a long time: "How can you be so cruel! These are lives!"

Cheng Ye raised his eyebrows: "I just want to emphasize, of course, apart from the roses, Lei Xiu has nothing to do with you at all, why should I care about other things."

What I mean is, you think I mind because through these things I might mind the feelings that Lei Xiu has invested in you, but the reality is, Lei Xiu is trying to avoid you as much as possible. He is mine, so what is there to mind?

"Lin Can told me that you broke up with him?" Cheng Ye asked with his head tilted.

"Yes, after getting along with each other, I realized that the person I really love is not him at all." Bai Jingqi sighed softly, looked at Cheng Ye very seriously and said, "Maybe life is like this. Only when you really lose something will you know what you want most. I also realized now that the person I love most in my heart is Brother Lei Xiu. After all, we have been childhood sweethearts. The relationship we have shared for so many years is not something that anyone can just intrude upon."

Cheng Ye frowned and said, "You mean Lei Xiu's favorite now should be Miss Xiaoyu? Not only did she grow up with Lei Xiu, she also took care of him for so many years. No matter how you look at it, she should be the one with whom Lei Xiu has the deepest feelings."

Bai Jingqi's face froze for a moment, then he smiled and said, suppressing his anger, "You really know how to joke."

Cheng Ye shook his head and said seriously, "You don't understand love because you've never loved anyone. Whether it's Lin Can or Lei Xiu, to you, they're just props, stepping stones for you to move up. If you were a normal female who only wanted to find her other half, you would know that the appearance of the person you truly love has nothing to do with time or place. He or she is like a warm lamp in the dark night. It may not be the most conspicuous, and you may not even notice it at first, but it is the most lasting, always on, giving you hope when you can't find your way."

"You..." Bai Jingqi looked at him in surprise, as if he hadn't expected a country bumpkin like him to say something so pretentious. "How do you know I'm not Brother Lei Xiu's lamp? Perhaps all this is just a test between us."

Cheng Ye rolled his eyes, as if looking at a stubborn middle school boy who had gone the wrong way. "Whatever you think."

Bai Jingqi said with disgust: "I was wrong before, and all this is my punishment. I am willing to accept it, but I tell you, from now on, I must compete with you fairly!"

Cheng Ye didn't understand: "What do you mean by fair competition? Your logic is flawed. Are people who like married men so shameless now? You used to do it secretly, but now you do it openly and you wish everyone would know that you are destroying other people's families!"

Bai Jingqi frowned even deeper: "You are talking nonsense. Brother Lei Xiu is not your husband yet. You are not married yet and he is not married yet. Why can't I fight for him?"

Cheng Ye was almost defeated by his shamelessness and said lightly: "If you can take it away, go ahead and take it. It also shows that it is not worth keeping me."

Seeing Bai Jingqi's surprised expression, Cheng Ye said calmly, "Speaking of which, I'm curious about the reason why you broke up with the Third Prince. Was it because of me? The Third Prince always comes to me to show his affection, just like you pestering Lei Xiu. It's so annoying. But I heard that you assassinated him? That solves a problem for me."

Hearing Cheng Ye's words, Bai Jingqi's face turned red involuntarily, as if he was holding his breath. Cheng Ye was afraid that he would suffocate to death by accident.

"It's not me, don't even think about throwing dirty water on me." Bai Jingqi was filled with jealousy and wanted to pounce on Cheng Ye and strangle him to death.

Cheng Ye stood still, as if he was still admiring his misery: "It doesn't matter who it is, it has nothing to do with me anyway." After "humiliating" Bai Jingqi for a while, he felt it was boring, so he turned around and left.

Bai Jingqi stood there quietly, watching Cheng Ye's back as he left, his heart filled with pain and regret, tears silently falling down his cheeks.

How he wished at this moment that time could go back to the time when Lei Xiu proposed to him. If he had agreed at that time, it would never be the turn of that bastard Cheng Ye to show off!

Before Bai Jingqi had finished crying, the Lei family's security personnel had arrived. After receiving instructions from Lei Xiu, several people were not polite to Bai Jingqi and directly asked him to leave the Lei family.

Bai Jingqi looked at the closed door, his obsession with Lei Xiu remained unchanged. He even felt that he would never give up on Brother Lei Xiu, absolutely not!

Cheng Ye was still studying when Lei Xiu returned home. He leaned against the door and looked at Cheng Ye's serious face. When he saw him frown, he immediately walked over, leaned over, hugged him, and kissed him on the forehead: "Why haven't you rested yet? It's so late?"

Cheng Ye looked up and saw Lei Xiu, who seemed a little happy. "You're back?" He chuckled and said, "Didn't you say you'd study hard? Now that you've passed the exam, you don't need to work hard anymore?"

Lei Xiu muttered, "You're already very good. If you work harder, you'll leave no room for others to survive."

Cheng Ye pursed her lips: "Did you eat outside tonight? Go take a shower first."

When Lei Xiu came out of the shower, he saw Cheng Ye curled up on the sofa, still reading his notes. He carried him to the bed and said, "Studying is all you have in your mind. Leave some space for me."

Cheng Ye curled up in the quilt, watching Lei Xiu's hair still dripping with water. He casually picked up a white towel and knelt on the bed to wipe his hair: "Today... did you see the news on Starnet?"

Lei Xiu placed his big hand on Cheng Ye's thigh: "Yes, I put it there."

Cheng Ye's subordinate paused, which was noticed by Lei Xiu. Lei Xiu patted his knee and said, "Bai Jingqi won't cry until he sees the coffin. If you don't do more, he will definitely stick to you. Cheng Ye, I am yours, yours alone. Whether you mind or not, I mind. I don't want anyone to misunderstand..."

Lei Xiu rested his forehead on his chest, feeling his heartbeat very fast, and raised his hand to hug him.

Cheng Ye immediately tried to escape, but Lei Xiu caught him and prevented him from escaping. He pinched his chin and kissed him fiercely. Cheng Ye was dizzy, and Lei Xiu coaxed him: "Can I stay tonight?"

Cheng Ye gasped for breath and didn't say anything, but his eyes were full of panic. He wanted to refuse but didn't know how to refuse.

Finally, Lei Xiu sighed and said, "Forget it, let's wait until we get married."

Cheng Ye felt a little embarrassed and changed the subject with a red face: "I have been studying the preparation of medicines these days, and found that the medicines prepared with existing technology have too many impurities. I want... I want..." He stumbled as he spoke, feeling a little nervous.

Lei Xiu raised his eyebrows: "Why, have you thought of a better way?"

Cheng Ye became even more nervous: "I can't say it's better, it just can reduce it a bit, but... I don't know the success rate yet. Do you think I'm daydreaming?" Cheng Ye clutched the corner of his clothes and lifted his eyelids to see his reaction.

Lei Xiu immediately kissed him on the cheek: "I believe you, you have this ability!"

Cheng Ye burst out laughing: "You are just engaging in personality cult."

"I'm your die-hard fan." Lei Xiu kissed him again. "Don't work too hard on yourself. I'll contact a teacher for you, and you can study with him later."

The teacher that Lei Xiu Neng mentioned was definitely not an ordinary teacher. Cheng Ye nodded obediently, and the matter was settled.

******

During this period, Lin Can had been lying in bed because of the attack. His martial arts skills were not as good as Lei Xiu's to begin with, and this time he dropped more than one level. He might not even be able to reach his peak in the future. Lin Can was not only listless, but even had a bad temper. Not only the servants, but even Bai Jingqi who came to find him were beaten by him. No one was taken seriously by him.

He had been thinking about one question for several days. He was sure that apart from Lei Xiu, there was no one else who could hurt him under the protection of so many masters. But the question was how Lei Xiu healed the wound on his arm in such a short time without leaving any trace.

If Lei Xiu really had such ability, he would not have been seriously injured and wandered outside for two years.

The only difference between Lei Xiu now and before is that he has Cheng Ye by his side. And Cheng Ye, as it happens, is a pharmacist, and a very talented one at that. It is said that he can make potions with very high purity.

Lin Can's face gradually darkened. He boldly guessed that after Lei Xiu came back, he launched a lot of medicines in the company, which quickly consolidated his already shaky position... He had previously announced that the formulas and data were purchased at a high price on the Star Internet, but now - maybe they were all researched by Cheng Ye. Even if not, they are definitely not unrelated!

Thinking of the bright-colored man who was not kind to her, Lin Can's eyes were full of jealousy. He would destroy anything he couldn't get!

If Cheng Ye can no longer be used by me, then he must disappear from this planet, or even disappear completely!

And Lei Xiu is also going to die. If Lei Xiu dies, he will no longer be threatened by any prince, and the throne will be 100% his.

If Lei Xiu died, there wouldn't be so many troubles in the future!

*****

"Mr. Cheng, are you going out?" The atmosphere seemed very tense these two days. Even Cheng Ye Dasuo felt that the security of the Lei family had become much tighter. Except for going to school, Lei Xiu rarely let him go out.

Cheng Ye was short of two kinds of herbs when preparing the potion, so he planned to go out and buy some. As soon as he reached the door, a guard came to greet him.

Cheng Ye nodded: "Well, I'm going out to buy something, and by the way, I'll go to Lei Xiu...Lei Shao's company and come back with him."

The herbal medicine store is near the company, and it is almost time to get off work, so Cheng Ye plans to give Lei Xiu a surprise.

The guard hurriedly said, "If you want to buy something, you can ask the butler to go buy it. If you must go in person, please take us with you!"

If he was alone, Cheng Ye would have nothing to say, but just as he finished speaking, a group of people suddenly emerged from behind him and formed a guard team.

Cheng Ye's forehead was immediately covered with sweat. It was just a purchase, was it necessary to make such a fuss?

He didn't want to, but the guards, under Lei Xiu's repeated instructions to protect Cheng Ye's safety, didn't dare to leave him alone. After two minutes of stalemate, Cheng Ye didn't want to embarrass the guards, so he had to back down and said in compromise: "Okay, let's go."

The guards hurriedly stopped him again: "Mr. Cheng, let us get ready!"

Cheng Ye: "..." He stood silently aside and watched their arrangements. Soon, a team of guards were ready to go and trotted to stand in front of him.

Cheng Ye was speechless and got into the captain of the escort's car. The others immediately followed and headed towards the Medicinal Plant Chamber of Commerce.

As expected of a big planet, the Chamber of Commerce has a wide variety of goods. Cheng Ye quickly found the medicinal plants he wanted. With so many people with him, he didn't want to go shopping and wanted to go straight to meet Lei Xiu.

Recently, Cheng Ye has been eating and drinking well, and her skin has become delicate and tender. Coupled with her originally delicate facial features, she is even more beautiful.

Many people know that Mr. Lei has a fiancé whom he loves very much, but not many people have actually seen his true face. However, Mr. Lei’s guard captain has been with Mr. Lei on the Star Network many times, so Cheng Ye’s true identity was quickly guessed by the people in the Chamber of Commerce.

Just as he was leaving, many waiters came over with their heads tilted, their eyes sparkling as they stared at him.

Cheng Ye felt a little helpless when they looked at him, and he lowered his head and hurried out.

Unexpectedly, a black shadow came straight towards him. The captain of the guard hurried forward, trying to block Cheng Ye, but black shadows kept coming up one after another, each one faster than the other.

The people led by Cheng Ye were soon entangled. Seeing that the situation was not good, the captain of the guard hurriedly shouted: "All obey orders and protect Young Master Cheng."

The guests in the Chamber of Commerce were suddenly shocked and instantly realized that this was a terrorist attack. They immediately screamed and fled in all directions. The scene immediately became chaotic, and many people even dispersed the guards who came to protect Cheng Ye.

Cheng Ye stood there for two or three seconds, his hands in his pockets tightly holding the bottle of medicine, his expression solemn.

666 was also very serious: "Big Leaf, do you want to take action?"

Suddenly, a person jumped out in front of him, hugged Cheng Ye, and grabbed Cheng Ye's mouth with one hand and dragged him to the side.

"Fuck, get your filthy hands off me!" Just when 666 was about to make a move, Cheng Ye immediately said, "No, no, no, absolutely not. There are too many people here, and I'm not suitable to force my way in."

Fortunately, these people's goal was only to kidnap him and they had no intention of hurting anyone, so Cheng Ye cooperated and walked away. Those people retreated immediately after they caught him.

Although the guards were highly powerful, they were wary of so many people interfering. In addition, they grabbed Cheng Ye's throat at the first moment, so the guards had no chance of winning and could only watch Cheng Ye being dragged away.

The captain of the guards immediately shouted, "Contact Master Lei, quickly, notify Master Lei!"

Lei Xiu was still in a meeting when he received the call, but when he saw that the captain of the guard had a good communication, he instinctively became nervous. He felt his fingers trembling. As expected, he had heard the news that Cheng Ye had been kidnapped.

My brain felt like it had been hit hard, and everything went blank with a bang.

"What's going on? How could I be kidnapped while buying things?" Lei Xiu shouted uncontrollably.

I had no idea how I stood up, how I rushed out of the meeting room, or how I met the captain of the guard.

Looking at the shambles of the Chamber of Commerce, which had been cleared out, Lei Xiu pinched his palm hard, forcing himself to calm down. His voice was slightly hoarse: "What's going on?!"

His voice was like frost, more like an icicle, piercing everyone present.

As he was speaking, the man lying on the ground moved, as if showing signs of waking up. Lei Xiu pulled out an energy knife, and a silver-white light shot out suddenly. The man let out a shrill roar, and bright red blood spread from under his body. His limbs twitched and he stopped moving.

The captain of the guards felt a pang of anxiety as he recounted the entire scene to Lei Xiu. When he heard how Cheng Ye had basically offered no resistance and even cooperated with the others in order not to implicate them, the communicator Lei Xiu had been holding on to began to whine. He pounded heavily on the glass in front of him, "Let's check the surveillance first and see where they went."

The captain of the security team quickly reported, "We've already screened the surveillance footage nearby. They can't move, so they must still be nearby. We've initially determined it's the club next door."

That is the largest ** on this central planet.

Lei Xiu narrowed his eyes: "Are you sure?"

The captain of the guard nodded quickly: "When I followed them out, I saw their figures disappear at the door, but..." They didn't have a membership card for that place, and they were afraid of alerting the enemy, so they didn't go in.

Lei Xiu immediately waved his hand: "Go and take a look."

*****

After Cheng Ye was subdued, an inexplicable smell invaded him, and his body instantly softened, and even his consciousness became much more blurred.

666 anxiously called out, "Daye, are you okay? Don't worry, it's just a common drug. I've adjusted your body data and you'll be fine soon."

Sure enough, his scattered consciousness gradually returned, but Cheng Ye still fell down with his eyes closed due to the effects of the medicine and was dragged to a spacious house.

In his mind, 666 presented him with a picture of where he was. It looked like a high floor of a hotel, but there was no bed in sight. It looked more like a high-end club.

Cheng Ye was thrown roughly to the ground, his face touching the cold ground, and his body shuddered.

Ignoring 666's disgruntled grumbles, Cheng Ye carefully sized up the men before him. They were all over 1.85 meters tall, muscular, and incredibly powerful. It looked like they were out to get him this time.

Apart from these few people guarding the area, there seemed to be no one else outside. Cheng Ye came up with a plan and immediately asked 666, "Do you have a way to control them?"

666 said in embarrassment: "I can't control them, but I can stimulate their nerve centers and make them unconscious for a short time, buying you some time to escape!"

Cheng Ye had no intention of using them for anything, so he nodded immediately: "Okay."
