Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 173: Chapter 114-115:

Ye Xuan couldn’t help but laugh as he sized her up: ”No worries, if we run into someone we know, I’ll just say I’m taking my niece out for a meal.”

”Hmph!” Luo Ye rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction, feeling taken advantage of again.

Fortunately, Dynasty is a five-star restaurant, so the quality of the guests speaks for itself. Along the way, not many people paid attention to this odd duo, most just sneaked a glance pretending to do it casually.

”Ye Xuan?” A magnetic baritone voice, filled with uncertainty.

Following the voice, Luo Ye saw a young man in his twenties standing at the entrance of a private room. He was about 183 cm tall, with a well-built figure, dressed in teal casual wear, had slightly tanned skin, straight eyebrows, and peach blossom eyes, and a straight nose - a very handsome and gentle man.

”Qi Bin? What are you doing here?” Clearly, Ye Xuan was also surprised.

”I was dumped here by the old man last week, didn’t have the face to report back to the brothers.” Qi Bin walked over with a smile: ”And who is this beautiful young lady...”

”My fiancée-to-be!”

”Cough cough cough...”

”Cough cough cough...”

It wasn’t just one person choking on their saliva; Luo Ye was especially taken aback, coughing so hard her face turned red and her neck thickened. She had never dreamed he would say something like that.

”Let’s go inside to talk, no need to stand out here and air the room.” Ye Xuan, unphased, pushed open a nearby private room. Luo Ye glanced and saw the door marked ’Yongzheng Hall’, cough...

Qi Bin hesitated a moment looking at the same room he was originally standing before following Luo Ye into the Yongzheng Hall.

”New colleagues over there, right?” Ye Xuan, after seating himself, gave Qi Bin a look.

”Yeah, Qianqian is also here. She came to see me, and we came here to eat together.” Qi Bin said, while sneakily checking out Luo Ye, obviously very curious about Ye Xuan’s so-called fiancée.

”Then why did you follow us here?” Ye Xuan unceremoniously took away the teacup: ”Go back quickly, don’t let her come looking for us. Ye’er and I have things to do.”

Luo Ye, unclear about Qi Bin’s identity and whether he had any connections or disputes with the Yang Family or Liu Family, naturally didn’t dare to refute Ye Xuan. For a moment, she didn’t know what to say and just kept drinking water from her teacup.

Qi Bin nodded repeatedly: ”Okay, okay, but how should I address the future sister-in-law?”

”Cough cough cough...”

Poor Mou Ye, nearly coughing herself to death.

”Luo Ye.” Ye Xuan waved his hand: ”Alright, you can leave now.”

”Okay, okay...” Qi Bin left with a meaningful smile, just as the waiter pushing the cart came in, meeting Qi Bin’s gaze directly, and stood frozen there.

The waiter snapped back to reality, her eyes sparkling with a glimmer of affection as she gracefully arranged the dishes, then smiled softly at Ye Xuan before leaving. Luo Ye sneered: ”What a disaster!”

Ye Xuan chuckled: ”Jealous?”

”Jealous of you?” Luo Ye’s expression turned serious: ”Introducing me like that, what if it spreads? What then?”

”If it spreads, wouldn’t that just convince the Yang Family and the Liu Family? Do you think they really believed us?” Ye Xuan shifted the dishes on the table: ”Let’s fill our stomachs first, then talk. This room is very soundproof, quite safe.”

Luo Ye sighed softly: ”A single lie indeed requires many lies to come full circle and be believable. Brother Ye, rest assured, once my dad’s issue is resolved, I’ll set you free immediately, I won’t delay your chance to have kids.”

”What thoughts are filling that little head?” Ye Xuan amusingly ruffled Luo Ye’s hair.

Luo Ye swatted away Ye Xuan’s hand: ”Stop treating me like a child. Besides, I’m speaking the truth. If it gets out, no one will introduce Brother Ye to a suitable girlfriend, wouldn’t it be my fault if the elders of the Ye Family can’t cradle their grandkids?”

”If you keep prattling on about this, I’ll send you home after the meal, and we won’t discuss anything.”

”No more talking.” Luo Ye stuck out her tongue and quickly went back to eating, realizing that this man had high standards. Miao, she wondered who could catch his eye.

The conversation after the meal was pleasant. Through this discussion, Luo Ye’s impression of Ye Xuan improved quite a bit. He didn’t press her about how she learned about Qian Mei’s matters, nor did he ask how she discovered some pieces of evidence, but simply trusted her immensely, introducing her to some of the Ye Family’s contacts in the area and stating he had already notified them; she could make full use of them.

Some issues, if really needed to be explained, could only be covered up with lies, and a smart person could spot the holes upon closer inspection. He didn’t ask, probably also clear about her untold difficulties, not wanting to make it hard for her.

”Brother Ye, thank you, this help has really gone beyond your duty, and I truly appreciate it.” Luo Ye looked at the densely packed Ye Family contact list in her hand, her voice somewhat choked up.
