Jian Yixue looked at the unfamiliar villa in front of her, her brows furrowed, somewhat puzzled as to why Ye Mohan had suddenly brought her here.
She had never been here before, neither in her past life nor in this one.
Feeling puzzled, Jian Yixue turned to look at Ye Mohan, who happened to be looking at her too. She then gave him a questioning look.
Seeing Jian Yixue's eyes and actions, Ye Mohan understood what Jian Yixue meant.
He smiled knowingly and explained to Jian Yixue, "This is my secret base. I'm showing you around, and I also have a gift for you."
Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue roughly understood.
This is probably where Ye Mohan handles some behind-the-scenes matters, which is why it's called a secret base.
In his previous life, Ye Mohan had never brought her here.
Of course, there are many reasons for this, but ultimately it's because of her.
"A gift?" Jane asked.
"Well, you'll find out soon enough."
Ye Mohan offered no explanation, wanting to maintain an air of mystery.
Just as Jian Yixue was about to press for more information, the outer gate of the villa opened.
Ye Mohan started the car without hesitation, and Jian Yixue didn't press the matter further.
She'd find out soon enough; Ye Mohan wanted to surprise her, so she'd gladly accept.
It's just a matter of finding out a little later.
After parking the car, Ye Mohan smiled slightly at Jian Yixue, "Wait for me."
Jian Yixue smiled and nodded.
Then, Ye Mohan got out of the car and walked straight to the passenger door where Jian Yixue was sitting. He gentlemanly opened the car door for Jian Yixue and reached his hand into the car.
Jian Yixue smiled slightly as she looked at the hand Ye Mohan offered, and without the slightest hesitation, she placed her hand on his and got out of the car.

In the elevator
Jian Yixue watched Ye Mohan press the -1 floor button, feeling a little puzzled. Then, as the elevator went down, she was even more certain.
Her man must be extraordinary; he could never be just a businessman.
This villa is the best proof.
Its unassuming exterior is just a disguise; no one who sees it from the outside would imagine that there is a basement here, and not just one floor.
Even she, if Ye Mohan hadn't brought her here, she might not have known about this place.
Just as Jian Yixue was pondering, the elevator doors slowly opened, and Ye Mohan led Jian Yixue out of the elevator.
Jian Yixue didn't have time to think much, and was somewhat stunned by the scene that came into view.
The corridor seemed to stretch endlessly into the distance, making it impossible to estimate its exact size. Jian Yixue only knew that it must be quite large.
People kept moving through the corridor, each busy with their own tasks.
Jian Yixue could tell at a glance that these people were no ordinary people.
The overall atmosphere here is very similar to the atmosphere she experienced in Youyue before.
These people are clearly seasoned veterans who have seen their share of storms and the dark side of the world.
Whenever Ye Mohan passed by those people, they all nodded to him in greeting.
Upon seeing this, Jian Yixue suddenly understood and looked up at Ye Mohan.
Perhaps, as I think, Ye Mohan is definitely not just a businessman.
Ye Mohan felt Jian Yixue's gaze and naturally understood that Jian Yixue must be full of doubts at this moment.
But he didn't stop or look at Jian Yixue to explain anything; instead, he led Jian Yixue straight inside.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Ye Mohan stopped.
Looking around, trying to guess what was going on from the surroundings, Jian Yixue suddenly snapped out of her daze and looked in the direction Ye Mohan was staring.
With a few simple actions, Ye Mohan revealed a high-tech screen fingerprint lock on the door.
Ye Mohan placed his hand on it, and then facial recognition was performed. After both verifications were completed, the door opened automatically.
Then, Ye Mohan pulled Jian Yixue into the room.
Jian Yixue looked at the room in front of her. The entire room was decorated in gray and white as the main colors. There was nothing high-tech inside. The room was similar in structure to the study in the castle.
It's obvious at a glance that it was designed according to Ye Mohan's preferences.
Just as Jian Yixue was looking around at her surroundings, Ye Mohan's voice reached her ears.
"I bought this villa when I was ten years old. It took many years to renovate it into what it is now. It can be considered as my hidden power."
Ye Mohan explained as he walked towards the sofa.
He knew that Jian Yixue must have many questions in her mind at this moment, even though she didn't ask them.
Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue knew that her guess was close to the truth and nodded.
Jian Yixue didn't think there was anything wrong with Ye Mohan's explanation.
The circles of the powerful and wealthy are rife with silent wars, and Ye Mohan, as someone who has been in them for many years, is naturally not immune to them.
In her past life, she had unintentionally smelled the disinfectant and blood emanating from Ye Mohan from time to time.
At that time, she didn't care at all, and even hoped that Ye Mohan would just die. If he died, she would have no scruples and could even leave Ye Mohan openly.
At that time, her biggest wish was to leave Ye Mohan. She didn't care whether Ye Mohan was injured or not, and she didn't even say a word of concern.
Jian Yixue felt like chopping herself up whenever she thought about her past self.
Ye Mohan pulled Jian Yixue to the sofa, and after they sat down, Ye Mohan continued, "Anything you want to know, you can ask me. As long as I know the answer, I will tell you everything I know."
Ye Mohan's attitude was extremely sincere, his dark and affectionate eyes gazing at his beloved.
Jian Yixue was like a ray of redemption in his life, and he didn't want to hide anything from her.
Seeing Jian Yixue being harassed, even though he knew she could handle it well, he still felt extremely distressed.
The girl he cherished and pampered was treated like that by others.
Thinking of this, Ye Mohan felt that he hadn't done enough, that he couldn't give Jian Yixue enough to rely on, and that someone had treated her like that.
If Jian Yixue hadn't kept Jian Mingpeng around because he was still useful, he certainly wouldn't have just given him a few light kicks.
However, this matter is not over yet. Once the truth is revealed, Jian Mingpeng will not be able to easily escape all of this.
Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue looked at Ye Mohan and saw him looking at her tenderly.
After a moment's thought, he said, "Aren't you not just the head of the Ye family? Just answer yes or no, or you don't have to answer if it's inconvenient."
After saying that, Jian Yixue looked at Ye Mohan with a curious expression.
Although she already had a guess in her mind, she wasn't completely sure yet, and she wanted to hear what he had to say.
Besides, they are already husband and wife, so it's not unreasonable for her to want to know about him.
Besides, it was Ye Mohan who asked her to ask, and she didn't intend to beat around the bush.
Trust and sincerity are essential in a marriage.
Upon hearing this, Ye Mohan was taken aback.
