Lin Xiuyan smiled. She had Fan Xilou show up in front of Zhou Chenyang because she wanted to cut off Fan Xilou's chance of becoming Zhou Chenyang's henchman for the rest of his life.
Moreover, Fan Xilou is not from Yucheng. As long as he leaves Yucheng safely, Zhou Chenyang, no matter how petty, cannot do anything to him.
Not to mention, Zhou Chenyang had schemed against him, and the two had become enemies.
Although Fan Xilou has not yet fully matured, his handling of the whole affair last night has already revealed some of the qualities of a powerful figure from his previous life.
He handled many key aspects of this matter perfectly.
Lin Xiuyan didn't answer but asked in return, "You just said that the young master helped with what happened last night?"
Before Fan Xilou could answer, someone said, "Of course! I put in a lot of effort last night!"
The door to the private room was opened, and Wu Dao and Ye Junfei walked in together.
Lin Xiuyan couldn't help but touch her nose when she saw Ye Junfei. Was he involved in this too?
Seeing her expression, Ye Junfei narrowed his peach blossom eyes slightly and thought to himself, "Do you think that just because you don't let me get involved in your affairs, I can't get involved?"
"There's nothing I can't participate in if I want to!"
Fan Xilou and Xu Qianting quickly moved aside to make room for them.
Xu Qianting was delighted to see Ye Junfei: "Little Ye, will you teach me martial arts later?"
These words made Wu Dao, who was eager to show off his merits, shudder. There were still idiots in the world who would rush to be abused by his young master. Was he out of his mind?
Furthermore, this idiot is incredibly audacious, daring to call his young master "Xiao Ye" (Little Night). Does he have a death wish?
Ye Junfei said gently, "Alright, you'll come back to the Lin residence with me later."
Wu Dao and Fan Xilou both moved further away from Ye Junfei.
They were already sitting close together, so when they moved together, it made quite a racket, and Fan Xilou almost bumped into Lin Xiuyan.
Wu Dao looked at Fan Xilou, who mouthed, "Does the young master also find this Young Master Ye terrifying?"
Wu Dao nodded frantically.
But after he nodded, he remembered that he was now using the identity of Ye Junfei, and he was the most terrifying person on the surface.
So he straightened his back to make himself look more dignified, and shook his head again.
Fan Xilou: "..."
Lin Xiuyan felt a bit overwhelmed by the interaction between the men.
Although Ye Junfei had never killed anyone in front of Fan Xilou, Fan Xilou had a strong sense of danger and would subconsciously avoid Ye Junfei.
Unlike Xu Qianting, that idiot, who always hangs around Ye Junfei.
As for the knifeless one, this counterfeit and shoddy product is a complete nuisance.
For some reason, seeing these four people together always gave her the feeling that a chaotic scene was unfolding.
And this hellish situation was set up for her.
Sure enough, the next moment Ye Junfei said to Fan Xilou, "Move aside."
Fan Xilou immediately stood up and moved aside, while Ye Junfei asked Lin Xiuyan, "Do you mind if I sit next to you?"
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
Does she dare say she minds?
She quickly said, "Master Ye, please sit down!"
He sat down beside her with refined manners and asked gently, "What would you like to eat?"
Lin Xiuyan subconsciously replied, "Whatever."
Ye Junfei then said, "Whatever? Then let the waiter bring out all the restaurant's signature dishes!"
After he finished speaking, he looked at Wu Dao and said, "Please trouble the young master to call the waiter."
Wu Dao sat on the outermost side, and it was theoretically reasonable to assign him the errand-running work.
However, he is currently in charge of the identity of the Prince of Pingnan, so normally no one would dare to ask him to do any work.
But as soon as Wu Dao heard Ye Junfei's words, he immediately ran off to call the waiter to add more dishes.
He did it so naturally that the others stared at them in disbelief.
Ye Junfei smiled and said, "Your Highness is so approachable, you have no airs at all."
Wu Dao, with a stiff smile, chimed in, "We're all friends, and I'm always very easygoing around my friends."
Lin Xiuyan was too embarrassed to look at his silly face.
Xu Qianting looked at Wu Dao, then at Ye Junfei, feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
Ignoring everyone's gaze, Ye Junfei picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea with great elegance.
He picked up the teacup, blew on it gently, and then placed it in front of Lin Xiuyan, saying softly, "You've been talking so much just now, you must be thirsty."
"The water temperature for this tea is just right. Drink some to soothe your throat."
Everyone stared at Lin Xiuyan.
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
Should she drink the tea or not?
Xu Qianting sensed a threat and said from the side, "Yanyan doesn't like this kind of tea; she prefers flower tea."
Ye Junfei asked Lin Xiuyan, "Don't you like to drink it?"
Lin Xiuyan immediately picked up the teacup and drank the tea in one gulp, then smiled at him and said, "I like it too."
Xu Qianting's eyes widened and he said, "That's not right! You clearly said last time that you didn't like it!"
Lin Xiuyan coughed lightly and said, "You've got it wrong."
Xu Qianting thought back carefully and he clearly remembered that she said she didn't like this kind of tea because she thought it was too bitter.
Fearing he might say something inappropriate, Fan Xilou quickly changed the subject: "Last night's events were indeed well thought out by Your Highness."
Wu Dao immediately switched to bragging mode: "Seriously, your setup last night was too rudimentary!"
“If I hadn’t helped you salvage the situation in time, you definitely wouldn’t have been able to cover this up.”
Fan Xilou immediately responded in a very cooperative manner: "What Your Highness says is true. Last night was the first time we did something like this, so it's inevitable that we didn't think things through."
“If the Crown Prince hadn’t sent people to watch over them, those gamblers might have run off with the money.”
After he finished speaking, he raised his cup and said, "I would like to offer a toast to the Crown Prince."
Wu Dao politely drank the wine in his cup and said, "Actually, you're not bad either. Your calculations last night were quite accurate."
"You've done a really good job on your first try!"
Lin Xiuyan only realized after hearing their words that Ye Junfei had also been involved in this matter last night.
She glanced at Ye Junfei; his features were very gentle, and he smiled faintly at her when he saw her looking over.
Startled, she trembled and the cup fell onto the table, splashing tea all over Ye Junfei.
Lin Xiuyan quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe his face, saying, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to!"
Xu Qianting's eyes widened. In his mind, Lin Xiuyan was fearless, stubborn, and rarely apologized.
But she apologized to Ye Junfei so readily at this moment.
His eyes darted back and forth between Ye Junfei and Lin Xiuyan, and the more he looked, the more he felt there was something between the two.
Just as he was about to stand up, Wu Dao pulled him back and said, "Xiao Xu, right? Go downstairs and urge them, why haven't the dishes been served yet?"
Xu Qianting: "I..."
Wu Dao adopted the arrogant demeanor of a prince: "What do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'what do you mean'? Hurry up and go!"
