(Yesterday, the old debtor already tried his best to update, thanks to all the brothers who voted for the Monthly Pass. Today is the weekend, got to spend some time with the kids, so can only promise three updates. Brothers who still have votes, please show some support.)

Although she didn't understand why they were being so rude, arguing and horsing around, Yu Xiaodi was already fired up!

Damn it! How dare you come to my house and act up, do you have a death wish? And right here in front of my friends and my father's colleagues, way to disrespect!

In fact, Yu Xiaodi isn't someone to be messed with. She used to be a little troublemaker among the spoiled brats, as seen when she caused trouble by crashing into Li Yan's car back then. In their little circle, that night Lan Tianci said not to make a fuss before figuring out Li Yan's background, and they all listened. Except for Yu Xiaodi, who ignored it and acted alone to take revenge.

Although over the past month, due to Li Yan's influence, Xiaodi has "changed for the better" and stopped gathering with brats to extort people for fun, her personality hasn't changed. Her good-girl side is only for home and before elders, now that includes in front of Li Yan.

Seeing Li Yan here, with Ji Yi, Zhou Qudan just going up, Ling Muhang, and Ling Luqiu started fighting inside while Lan Tianci's persuasion was ineffective, and Wen Qiang remained elegantly uninvolved. This made her furious!

Seeing she didn't step in to stop the fight but rather quickly walked outside, Li Yan was a bit puzzled. Is she planning to find something to beat them with? He followed her out.

Only to see Yu Xiaodi coming out and shouting directly at the security booth: "Zhang Yuan! Hao Ming!"

Immediately, two burly security guards came out running: "Miss Yu, what's the matter?"

Yu Xiaodi pointed backward, "Two people are fighting inside! Imagine that, go and throw them both out, toss them into the sea!"

Zhang Yuan and Hao Ming froze for a moment. As private security, they naturally know who the guests inside are. Ji Yi and Zhou Qudan are city government officials. You'd have to be crazy to fight in the mayor's house. So, it must be those young rich guys horsing around.

Throwing out those wealthy brats isn't difficult for them. But they also know these people have good family backgrounds. What Yu Xiaodi suggested isn't just child's play; it could affect adult and family relationships.

Seeing them standing there, Yu Xiaodi impatiently said, "What? Afraid to take action? So timid! Bring a stun baton, I'll deal with them!"

She noticed Li Yan had also followed her out, felt a bit embarrassed, then awkwardly smiled and said, "Just kidding, I'm just trying to scare them a bit."

Zhang Yuan and Hao Ming, both in their late thirties, naturally consider things more maturely, keeping the boss's interests in mind. Hao Ming suggested hesitantly, "Miss Yu, we aren't timid, we'd love to toss them out into the sea, but what if they go crying to their parents?"

Zhang Yuan quickly echoed, "Yeah, they're like hothouse flowers, unlike your independence, Miss Yu. Afraid they'd tell their parents, and then their parents would complain to Mayor Yu and General Manager Chen, causing a big fuss."

Yu Xiaodi considered this and felt it made sense, "Yeah, if those precious kids complain, their parents will surely complain about me too. Such a pain!"

Noticing Yu Xiaodi calming down, Li Yan smiled and complimented, "I thought you two only solved problems by force, didn't expect you could flatter so freshly and elegantly, quite rare."

He just thought they seemed straightforward people and didn't expect them to skillfully appease Yu Xiaodi like this. But in others' ears, his words sounded sarcastic, making Yu Xiaodi, Zhang Yuan, and Hao Ming a bit awkward.

"You two go back, Xiaodi, let's check out the situation first before deciding. Maybe they're fine by now." Li Yan tugged at Yu Xiaodi.

Zhang Yuan and Hao Ming were more than happy to comply, immediately running back to the security booth.

Yu Xiaodi followed Li Yan back to the living room, seeing the group still arguing, then suddenly becoming excited and shoving each other again. It made her both angry and amused!

"What are you doing? If you're going to argue, take it outside!"

As they walked over, Ling Muhang was no longer just pushing but started chasing down Ling Luqiu to hit him, while Lan Tianci, trying to stop them, was worried about getting hit himself. Total chaos, and only Wen Qiang sat there drinking tea, watching the show.

"Watch how I deal with you!"

Ling Muhang seemingly overwhelmed with fury, suddenly leaped up, kicking towards Ling Luqiu behind Lan Tianci!

Seeing this, Lan Tianci and Ling Luqiu were startled, quickly dodging to the sides. Their avoidance resulted in the kick landing right in front of Li Yan, who was walking up behind!

Furious, Yu Xiaodi instinctively shielded Li Yan.

But how could Li Yan let her take the hit for him?

Even though her sudden appearance surprised him a bit, he quickly reacted by grabbing her waist, pulling her aside, while his other hand swatted Ling Muhang's incoming kick to the side.

...

The shaken Yu Xiaodi found herself unharmed and quickly checked on Li Yan, "Are you okay?"

"What do you think? Of course, I'm fine." Li Yan smiled, reassuring her.

Seeing his familiar smile, Yu Xiaodi finally felt a bit more at ease.

"Don't do that next time. Do I, a grown man, need you to protect me?" Li Yan affectionately patted her head.

Yu Xiaodi just gave a silly smile, relieved that everything was okay. It was purely an instinctive reaction; at that moment, she didn't have time to consider whether she was capable of protecting Li Yan. At this moment, her heart was filled with a sweet sense of happiness.

The sudden incident had already quieted the room, and both Ling Luqiu and Lan Tianci, who had moved to the sides, suddenly looked at them. Wen Qiang also stopped drinking tea, realizing that he might have gone overboard. If Ling Muhang's kick had landed on Yu Xiaodi…

Yu Xiaodi allowed herself to be held by Li Yan, enjoying the happiness for a while before being awakened by the surrounding stares. She then turned around and glared angrily at Ling Muhang, sneering, "Ling Muhang! You're so capable, aren't you! You dare…"

Before she could finish speaking, a large hand covered her mouth. She was slightly startled, then realized that Li Yan was trying to stop her from saying the word "get lost," as that would directly offend someone.

Because Ling Muhang almost kicked Li Yan, she was furious, but since Li Yan signaled her this way, she obediently listened to him. However... it wasn't often that he would cover her mouth! Yu Xiaodi couldn't resist puckering her lips and kissing his hand.

Feeling the abnormality in his palm, Li Yan broke out in a sweat. What on earth was in this girl's mind? Calm one moment, suddenly furious the next, and yet, even in a moment of confrontation, she would still tease him.

He quickly pulled his hand back and then laughed, "Don't let this spoil the harmony. I don't think this friend Ling Muhang meant to target us. Weren't you about to kick them? Go ahead, we won't interfere!"

Though not familiar or understanding them, at that moment, Li Yan was very clear: Ling Muhang's kick was intentional!

Their argument, with Lan Tianci mediating, was completely staged. It was only when he and Yu Xiaodi approached that they began their act. The goal was to create chaos! He didn't know the Ling family twins, so this was obviously orchestrated by Lan Tianci!

Li Yan was inclined to ignore Lan Tianci's hidden rival posture, but that was only as long as Lan Tianci didn't directly provoke him or investigate him. Now that Lan Tianci was starting, it was bothering him a bit. Such a person needed a lesson to prevent him from bullying the honest.

Ling Muhang was put in a difficult position by his words and quickly looked over at Lan Tianci. Lan Tianci also walked over with a smile, "Right, right, let's not spoil the peace! You are brothers, go back home and talk properly. Don't make things difficult for Xiaodi!"

"Ling Muhang, you did it on purpose, didn't you? You wanted to kick Li Yan! Your argument was just an act?" Yu Xiaodi suddenly sneered.

Lan Tianci hurriedly said, "No, well, just now they..."

Yu Xiaodi turned to Li Yan and said, "Sorry, I forgot to introduce them properly to you, so you weren't prepared."

Li Yan was puzzled, "What do you mean?"

"Look! Ling Luqiu, the one who was kicked away by you the other night during the car crash. His brother, Ling Muhang, has been practicing Taekwondo since primary school. Meeting you today, he wanted to seek revenge. I totally forgot, and didn't remind you earlier," Yu Xiaodi explained.

Li Yan suddenly understood. That night, with all the strange costumes and bizarre appearances, Yu Xiaodi hadn't sought him out later, so he had long forgotten their faces and certainly wouldn't remember every individual. In fact, he hadn't taken a good look at the person who got kicked away. But he still believed this was Lan Tianci's idea; otherwise, Ling Muhang would have found another chance outside, not at the Yu family.

Seeing that Yu Xiaodi had already revealed the truth, Ling Muhang straightforwardly admitted, "That's right! Qiu just wanted to let it go, but as his brother, I can't stand by and watch him being bullied without seeking justice. I scolded him for being timid! Li Yan, since you also seem capable, I challenge you! Let's have a match!"

"Are you worthy?" Before Li Yan could respond, Yu Xiaodi had already mocked him. In her heart, Li Yan naturally had the grand image of a hero, completely incomparable to peers.

Ling Muhang was aware of the previous incident and was disdainful of someone who was slapped unconscious and kicked away. But now that he encountered the main player, he naturally shared the intent to compete. Coupled with Lan Tianci's suggestions, the matter quickly escalated. Now, upon hearing Yu Xiaodi say he wasn't worthy, he was immediately filled with anger, coldly saying, "I've been practicing Taekwondo for eight years; it's not just some flimsy skills. If you're afraid of getting hurt, it's better not to agree!"

"Who's afraid of getting hurt?" Yu Xiaodi retorted angrily.

Li Yan smiled faintly, "Alright, stop bickering. I agree, but I usually like to take on multiple opponents at once. You three just put on an act, and last time both of them were there, so why not join together now! This friend Wen Qiang..."

Wen Qiang immediately declined, "I'll stay out of it. I'll join Xiaodi in cheering you on."

Although Ling Luqiu still felt apprehensive about Li Yan, with his brother Ling Muhang present, he had confidence in seeking revenge. But for Lan Tianci, it made him smile reluctantly as he got roped into instigating Ling Muhang.
