"I'll bring my men back right away, and I guarantee you'll see them," Boss Fang assured, patting his chest.
Xu Zhaoyue was relieved and happily chatted with Fang Laoda about her childhood.
When it was time to leave, Yue Lanxing was already waiting there. As soon as Xu Zhaoyue came out, his eyes were glued to her. Boss Fang had always had a good impression of him; the upright young man was pleasing to the eye.
"This is the son of the third aunt of the Yue family? His second uncle came to visit me a while ago and specifically asked me to take care of this kid." The eldest son of the Fang family lowered his loud voice.
Xu Zhaoyue paused for a moment after hearing the term "second uncle" before realizing it referred to Yue Wenzhi, who had successfully changed his code name to "second uncle."
"What about his maternal uncle?" Xu Zhaoyue asked, puzzled. Yue Wenxing had been there for quite some time.
Fang Laoda glanced at her but didn't say anything. After Xu Zhaoyue met his gaze, she saw the helplessness in his eyes. "Brother Yue is here. I have to go and pay my respects to him."
Fang Laoda was reluctant to admit it, after all, the person had come to his territory, and he wasn't the kind of person who would come to visit him. He was someone who should have been making a name for himself in the headquarters, but Fang Laoda was quite surprised that his nephew, Yue Lanxing, had come.
"Oh my, I have to say, this kid was good before, and now that he's the young master of the Yue family, he's even better. He's much better than our third brother."
Seeing his wistful expression, Xu Zhaoyue smiled and said, "Don't say that to Fang Jingshen, he's the type to pick a fight."
"Hey, can I talk to him? I was thinking of waiting until he graduated and came back, when he would be more mature and stable, and then I would try to set you two up. But it's too late."
If Fang Laoda couldn't tell that Yue Lanxing liked Xu Zhaoyue, he would have lived in vain. In the short time the two of them stopped to chat, Yue Lanxing had already glanced over several times.
“He still has a childish temper. I envy him. He has two older brothers, so he can be a child himself,” Xu Zhaoyue said.
"Alright, that's enough. He's glaring at me. You should head back now and be careful on the road," the eldest son of the house teased.
"I'll head back now." Xu Zhaoyue walked to Yue Lanxing's side. Yue Lanxing had already opened the car door. Xu Zhaoyue turned around, waved to Boss Fang, and then got into the car.
On the way back, Yue Lanxing finally blurted out after holding back for a while, "Young Miss?"
"Hmm, what's wrong?" Xu Zhaoyue replied, looking out the window at the scenery. The suburban scenery was beautiful, especially the deep woods along the roadside, which looked mysteriously dark green.
"Before leaving, Miss and Boss Fang stood there chatting for quite a while," Yue Lanxing said sullenly.
Xu Zhaoyue turned her gaze away from the scenery and looked at Yue Lanxing. She sensed that he was jealous, but she didn't quite understand what he had to be jealous of.
"Yes, after he saw you, he told me that if you weren't already here, he was planning to set me up with Fang Jingshen in the future. But seeing you there, he felt that you were good enough for me, so he couldn't push it anymore."
Xu Zhaoyue saw Yue Lanxing secretly laughing in the rearview mirror. "Just laugh if you want to. How can you let others say that you and I are a couple and it's not worth laughing about?"
"Ha, of course not, I just wanted to be more composed." Yue Lanxing laughed out loud this time, feeling quite pleased with herself. "As expected of Boss Fang, who has such a high status in Shanghai, he has a good eye for people."
Seeing his smug look, Xu Zhaoyue laughed and said, "Yes, you're so happy to be praised. When I agreed to be with you, were you this happy?"
"Of course! I was so excited last night that I did push-ups in my room. If I didn't have to keep it a secret, I would have told them all. And the eldest brother of the house said that I was good enough for the young lady, which made him even happier than if he had praised me."
Yue Lanxing's heart was like fireworks exploding inside; she was not as calm as she appeared on the surface.
Xu Zhaoyue nodded slightly and stopped talking. Yue Lanxing, hearing that the girl behind her was silent, would occasionally look up at the rearview mirror and see that the young lady was in a good mood, with a smile on her face, which put her at ease.
Xu Zhaoyue probably never imagined on her way back that Xu Guangcai and her stepmother were already waiting for her.
"Miss, Master is back and wants you to see him." As soon as Xu Zhaoyue got out of the car, she saw Xiao Nan rushing over. "Miss, you've only been gone for less than an hour, and Master and the others have already returned."
"They sent someone to fetch Miss, and also asked about Butler Yue. I told them Miss was out. As for your relationship, I didn't mention anything, but I don't know anything about the others..."
Xiao Nan explained in a few words that Xu Guangcai's purpose this time was to target Yue Lanxing.
However, Xu Zhaoyue couldn't guess who said it, and she couldn't even tell Xu Zhaoming, who liked to oppose her the most. After all, her identity as a member of the Yue family on Yuelan Star was enough for her to help cover it up.
"Miss, what should we do?" Xiao Nan looked at Xu Zhaoyue, her voice anxious. Yue Lanxing also subconsciously looked at the young lady. "Should I go and express my feelings first?"
Seeing their uneasy expressions, Xu Zhaoyue said, "Is something serious going on? What's wrong with me just dating? Why are you making such a fuss?" She really didn't feel any pressure at all.
"Alright, Xiaonan, go get the school list I left on the table. I'll go change my clothes before I go." Xu Zhaoyue said to Xiaonan, then looked at Yue Lanxing.
"Lanxing, just do what you normally do. If my father asks you questions, just say that I told you not to say anything. Under no circumstances should you mention the Yue family. Wait, there might already be some rumors."
"So, you're saying they're distant relatives, understand?" Xu Zhaoyue raised an eyebrow.
Yue Lanxing nodded. He didn't understand the young lady's intention, but he was obedient. After watching the young lady leave, he went to the warehouse and went to train as usual.
