Although Tang Yurou followed Qin Rumeng to Beijing, her identity and status appear much more distinguished than before. Even when encountering Qiu Ruoxi now, outsiders would never say Tang Yurou is inferior to Qiu Ruoxi.

But deep down, Tang Yurou still feels herself a notch below Qiu Ruoxi.

Perhaps it's because Qiu Ruoxi was once Tang Yurou's boss, or maybe it's because Qiu Ruoxi is Ye Xunhuan's wife.

In any case, Tang Yurou always feels a lack of confidence when facing Qiu Ruoxi.

Noticing Tang Yurou's silence, Qin Rumeng said with a tinge of exasperation, "What are you afraid of her for? It's not like she can eat you!"

"Besides, you're now Miss Tang, and in terms of both identity and status, you're not weaker than Qiu Ruoxi. Plus, don't you have me backing you up? What's there to be afraid of!"

"Come on, let's go in!"

With that, Qin Rumeng didn't care whether Tang Yurou agreed or not, and directly pulled her into the Qin family house.

Once inside, Qin Rumeng immediately went to find Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi.

Since Qin Rumeng had already informed Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi about attending an evening banquet tonight, they were both already dressed up.

Ye Xunhuan was wearing a white shirt with a black vest over it, and his shoes were polished to a shine. Combined with his already fairly handsome young face, he looked like a suave and charming gentleman from a turbulent world.

Qiu Ruoxi was dressed in a white off-shoulder evening gown. The dress made her look like a lotus flower emerging unstained from the mud, or like a celestial being who had descended to the mortal world!

The white evening gown showcased Qiu Ruoxi's elegance and beauty perfectly. The high heels further accentuated her long and slender legs hidden beneath the dress, making her look not only tall and sexy but also her pink lips were quite captivating!

When Qin Rumeng, with Tang Yurou in tow, found Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi already prepared, she directly stated, "Since you're all ready, let's go!"

Ye Xunhuan seemed not to hear Qin Rumeng's words and just stared intensely at Tang Yurou standing beside her.

Although Ye Xunhuan felt he was well-acquainted with Tang Yurou, just shy of crossing that final line, he had never seen Tang Yurou dressed like this.

It could be said that it was an unprecedented first!

The extravagant red evening gown on Tang Yurou, while not exuding nobility or dominance, had its own charm. Like a delicate beauty, she naturally exuded a pure aura.

This was something Qiu Ruoxi lacked.

Qiu Ruoxi, upon seeing Tang Yurou, was initially startled, but as she regained her composure, her heart became slowly filled with displeasure.

Qin Rumeng brought her and Ye Xunhuan to attend a banquet, and now she brought Tang Yurou along—what was this supposed to mean?

Was she looking for trouble again?

One can't blame Qiu Ruoxi for thinking this way, considering Qin Rumeng's track record.

What Qiu Ruoxi couldn't stand most was that Ye Xunhuan, this rascal, seemed like his eyes were about to pop out upon seeing Tang Yurou!

At that moment, Qiu Ruoxi felt a wave of anger but maintained her composure, walking naturally and intimately to Ye Xunhuan's side. "Alright, Aunt," she said while linking arms with Ye Xunhuan.

While speaking, Qiu Ruoxi pinched Ye Xunhuan hard on the waist.

Despite Qiu Ruoxi's elegant and ethereal demeanor akin to a fairy, her pinches were as fierce as a shrew's—a steady, accurately targeted jab that made Ye Xunhuan gasp for breath.

Qin Rumeng immediately noticed Ye Xunhuan's odd reaction, glanced at Qiu Ruoxi, and asked Ye Xunhuan, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, nothing!" Ye Xunhuan quickly said, "Aunt, let's go!"

Ye Xunhuan wasn't stupid. He could guess why Qiu Ruoxi suddenly pinched him, but he couldn't tell Qin Rumeng about it, otherwise, she would definitely scold Qiu Ruoxi.

That was not something Ye Xunhuan wanted to see.

Although Ye Xunhuan didn't say anything, the astute Qin Rumeng understood what was up, but she didn't expose it and simply turned around with Tang Yurou to walk outside.

At this moment, Qiu Ruoxi whispered to Ye Xunhuan, "Bastard, if you keep looking around like that, I'll gouge your eyes out!"

Hearing Qiu Ruoxi's warning, Ye Xunhuan chuckled awkwardly, "Wife, if I only look at you, can you handle it?"

"You..."

"But to be honest, don't you think Xiaorourou looks more beautiful and sophisticated than before?" Ye Xunhuan laughed cheekily.

"Well, do you realize that tonight there's a good chance you'll be sleeping on the floor?" Qiu Ruoxi said through gritted teeth.

This rascal, it's bad enough he was looking for other women outside, but now he's even discussing with her how the other has gotten prettier and more sophisticated.

Ye Xunhuan's face immediately turned dark: "Honestly, wife, no matter how pretty she is, she's not as pretty as you!"

"I don't believe a word you say now!" Qiu Ruoxi said resentfully, "I'll deal with you when we get back!"

"In bed?" Ye Xunhuan asked lecherously, "If that's the case, I'll be sure to cooperate and pretend you're dealing with me really badly, but the way I'll shout is a wave after wave. Can you handle it?"

"You..."

At that moment, Qin Rumeng suddenly turned around and said, "What are you two mumbling about back there?"

Hearing Qin Rumeng's words abruptly, Qiu Ruoxi unwillingly swallowed back the words that were about to leave her mouth. She glared at Ye Xunhuan twice before finally letting it go, following silently behind Qin Rumeng as they walked out.

Since Qin Rumeng was driving a Lincoln stretch, it was spacious enough for all of them to sit, so after getting in the car, they immediately left the Qin family house.

Inside the car, Qin Rumeng glanced at Qiu Ruoxi and suddenly said, "Ruoxi, I didn't tell you earlier about bringing Yu Rou along. You aren't upset, are you?"

Ye Xunhuan felt a jolt inside when he heard this.

Was his aunt trying to make his straightforward life difficult?

Bringing Tang Yurou had already made Qiu Ruoxi a bit displeased, and now she was directly addressing it. Even if Qiu Ruoxi was angry, could she say it out loud?

"Not at all!" Qiu Ruoxi shook her head gently, "I was actually thinking it'd be boring not knowing anyone there, but since Yu Rou is coming, at least I have some company."

"That's exactly what I thought too. You already know Yu Rou from before, and she's met quite a few people in Beijing lately. During the banquet, if I'm not around, she can accompany you!"
