Su Yinxue stepped back slightly and looked at Xu Youshuai impassively.

"Let us discuss this after the contract is signed."

Xu Youshuai slapped his forehead in self-reproach.

"Right, Yinxue is more thoughtful—it was I who was too hasty."

The re-alliance between the Yi Family and the Xu Family was a major event for both families.

And for Su Yinxue and Xu Youshuai.

Once the contract was signed, the trajectories of their lives were set to change.

By all reasoning, such a significant affair demanded a favorable date and a grand ceremony.

However, before Xu Youshuai arrived, he had already made meticulous arrangements.

The upper echelons of the Xu Family had reached a consensus.

As long as Su Yinxue signed the contract, Xu Youshuai could take charge of the Yi Family.

The Xu Family's goals would have been achieved.

In the Yi Family, Su Yinxue, with the honor of the Family Head, had absolute decision-making power over this matter.

And no one else had any objections.

It was a result that made everyone happy.

After a tedious yet straightforward meeting agenda.

Su Yinxue and Xu Youshuai represented their respective families in signing the cooperation contract.

Actually, this contract had already been signed before.

But the original signatory was Xu Youjiang.

This time, however, it was Xu Youshuai.

As per Su Yinxue's request, the engagement and the cooperation agreement were kept separate.

No one could refute Su Yinxue's reasoning.

An engagement represents sacred love and should not be tainted by a hint of mercenary interest.

If it were to be signed together with a business contract.

The love involved would be disgustingly utilitarian.

Xu Youshuai couldn't help but laugh silently.

It was rare for Su Yinxue to still keep such a girlish heart.

He was willing to satisfy such a small request from Su Yinxue.

Thus, the marriage and the cooperation contract were separated into two documents.

Beyond these, according to Su Yinxue's demands.

There were also Xu Youshuai's post-marriage love agreement and property division agreement...

Even with his deep strategies, Xu Youshuai was overwhelmed by the myriad contract documents.

However, as long as these documents were signed.

Su Yinxue would be like a bird with clipped wings, never able to escape Xu Youshuai's Five Fingers Mountain.

Therefore, even though Xu Youshuai frowned at the sight of all these contracts,

he was still very willing at heart.

Meng Zhigui, however, saw a hard-to-detect malevolent intent on Xu Youshuai's beaming face,

which made her feel even more uneasy.

After all, Meng Zhigui was one of the Yi Family.

She watched Su Yinxue step by step into the cage Xu Youshuai had set up, her heart ultimately couldn't bear it.

Xu Youshuai had just used a signing pen to sign their marriage contract.

When suddenly outside the Ancestral Temple meeting hall, someone cried out in agony.

"Yinxue, are you leaving me?"

Xu Youshuai frowned, set the pen on the table, and looked outside.

Outside the door, Yang Fei stood upright, his face full of sorrow.

"Yinxue, I love you. You are my heart, you are my liver, you are three-quarters of my life."

"If I lose you, I could only leave with the bird inside my pants."

Hearing this bizarre confession, the people of the Yi Family burst into laughter.

Indeed, the Yi Family was already aware of the relationship between Su Yinxue and Yang Fei.

But what did that matter?

As scions of great families, they could freely engage in romances.

However, marriage must align with family interests to take place.

Thus, everyone was very tolerant of Yang Fei's disruption.

After all, he couldn't change anything.

Yi Liu hurried over and wrapped her arms around Yang Fei's waist.

"Big Brother Yang, let's go. Once we're in Jincheng City, I'll find you a few beauties to lighten your spirits."

Yi Liu originally just intended to console Yang Fei.

The kid's eyes lit up immediately when he heard "a few beauties."

"Where are the beauties?"

Yi Liu gave a bitter smile.

"As long as you don't cause a scene here, ten or eight beauties will be at your disposal, I guarantee it."

Yang Fei's eyes shone even brighter, "Then let's go."

"Ah, it would take eighteen beauties to soothe my wounded heart."

He wiped the corner of his eye and, amid everyone's laughter, grabbed Yi Liu and rushed down the mountain.

This sudden farce, instead of making everyone uncomfortable, actually livened up the atmosphere.

Everyone watched as Yang Fei and Yi Liu left, all laughing heartily.

Despite smiling, Xu Youshuai felt an ominous premonition in his heart.

He knew only too well what kind of person Yang Fei was.

This guy would definitely not come all the way here to perform such a clumsy act.

So, what was his real intention?

Xu Youshuai grew suspicious and became somewhat distracted.

"Mr. Xu, please sign the cooperation contract."

It was clear that Su Yinxue was in a bad mood.

Her expression was frosty, as if a layer of ice had formed on her face.

Seeing Su Yinxue's distressed appearance somewhat relieved Xu Youshuai.

Yes, even if Yang Fei stirred up chaos,

he was still just a person — and a sentimental one at that.

Yang Fei had watched helplessly as the woman he loved was taken by another.

His actions were bound to be erratic, ridiculous, and frivolous.

And Su Yinxue's bad mood was largely related to Yang Fei.

Realizing this, Xu Youshuai couldn't help but feel smug.

This sense of successful revenge made him tremble as if electrified.

"A pair of despicable lovers, your punishment has only just begun,"

thought Xu Youshuai maliciously.

Yet his pen didn't stop moving, signing relentlessly.

There were too many places to sign.

The dense array of documents and contracts overwhelmed Xu Youshuai.

Finally, after signing everything, he handed the contracts to Su Yinxue.

"Yinxue, can I kiss you now?"

He said this, stepping forward with a look of deep affection, wanting to embrace Su Yinxue.

Su Yinxue stepped back, saying indifferently,

"No, I must ensure the interests of the Yi Family to the greatest extent."

"When will your Xu Family's new material development technology and lab scientists arrive?"

Su Yinxue kept rejecting him over and over.

Xu Youshuai's anger started to surge.

However, as soon as his eyes met Su Yinxue's cold gaze,

he suppressed the anger in his chest.

Xu Youshuai sneered to himself.

"Let you be arrogant one more day, after today, we'll settle the accounts slowly,"

he thought, though his face showed an expression of helplessness.

"Yinxue, you still don't trust me, do you?"

"But I believe, eventually, you will accept me."

He said, glancing at the surrounding senior managers of the Yi Family.

"Just in time, two master-level experts from the new materials lab have also come to Jincheng City for a visit."

"Our new material development patent technology was purchased from their lab."

Su Yinxue acknowledged with an "oh."

"In that case, I should meet these two experts."

"Do you know where they are?"

Xu Youshuai smiled slightly, "Yinxue, don't rush."

"This time, these two masters have come from Capital City to train our company's technicians."

"I can take you to meet them."

Just as Su Yinxue was about to say something, Yang Fei's mischievous voice came through.

"Great, let's all go and see."
