After Ye Feng and Zhao Tian left the Chang'an Casino with Xu Ningxue, Xu Ningxue looked hesitant, as though she wanted to say something to Ye Feng, but she ultimately didn't speak.

The three of them got into the Bentley luxury sedan and disappeared into the night under the respectful gaze of Xiao Ge and the others.

"Do you want to plead for your uncle?" Ye Feng seemed to have guessed Xu Ningxue's thoughts and asked with a smile.

Xu Ningxue bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Although her uncle was cold-hearted and addicted to gambling, he was after all the only person related to her by blood, her only kin. Xu Ningxue's nature was soft, and if her uncle was really taken by Xiao Ge and the others to be disposed of at sea, her heart would be in extraordinary pain.

Seeing Xu Ningxue's expression, Zhao Tian, who was driving, said with a smile:

"Sister-in-law, don't worry! Brother Ye was just warning that Xiao surname guy earlier. A small place like Chang'an Casino doesn't dare to cause a death without someone backing it up! Besides, one way or another, your uncle is somewhat related to Brother Ye, so that Xiao surname guy wouldn't dare do such a thing. At most, he would break your uncle's arms and legs, nothing serious will happen!"

Zhao Tian was very familiar with the protocols of these smaller forces, and his words reassured Xu Ningxue quite a bit.

"Your uncle is too addicted to gambling, such a person is unreliable. It's a good thing for Xiao to give him a lesson he'll remember for a long time!" Ye Feng patted Xu Ningxue's hand, comforting her.

Only upon hearing Ye Feng's words did Xu Ningxue completely relax.

In front of Ye Feng, she felt very inferior, especially since Ye Feng had saved her on multiple occasions, stirring a strange sense of affection in Ningxue's heart for him.

Right then, Xu Ningxue wrapped her arms around Ye Feng's arm and laid her head on his shoulder, as if embracing her guardian angel, her face full of happiness.

And Zhao Tian in the driver's seat, seeing this scene through the rearview mirror, was filled with envy and admiration for Ye Feng.

Ye Feng had only been in Jiangnan City for a short time, yet he had managed not only to conquer the mistress of the Fang Family but also to win the heart of a top-grade beauty like Xu Ningxue. Such fortune was beyond the wildest dreams of ordinary men.

"Brother Ye, sister-in-law has nowhere to stay tonight, and it just so happens that a friend of mine has gone back to her hometown. You can stay at her place!"

Zhao Tian knew Xu Ningxue would probably not go back to Old Jiang's house, so he came up with an idea and suggested it to Ye Feng.

Ye Feng thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement. It indeed wasn't appropriate for Xu Ningxue to go back, and staying in a hotel wouldn't be safe either. It was better if Zhao Tian was willing to help.

Seeing Ye Feng's agreement, Zhao Tian was overjoyed. He had always been looking for an opportunity to establish a connection with Ye Feng, but Ye Feng had been lukewarm towards him. Now by finding Xu Ningxue a place to stay, he could further his relationship with Ye Feng.

With that, Zhao Tian stepped on the gas, and the Bentley car disappeared into the night like a flash.

Jiangcheng Villa is a mid-to-high-end residential complex; now the Bentley stopped in front of a residential building there, and the three of them went straight up to the sixth floor in the elevator.

Opening the door, it turned out to be a small one-bedroom apartment, with a living room, a bedroom, a bathroom, and a small kitchen on the side. It looked compact, but the decoration was exquisite, with a pink decor that made it exceptionally warm and inviting.

"My friend has moved all her things out. The clothes and items here are newly purchased and haven't been used. Sister-in-law, please feel free to stay here!"

After inviting Ye Feng and Xu Ningxue in, Zhao Tian began to describe the room's amenities to them.

Ye Feng didn't ask more questions. He could tell that no one had ever lived in this room. And those complete sets of items—all intended for a young woman—obviously Zhao Tian had planned to give this place to his lover.

For a young master like Zhao Tian, lovers were certainly not few, and to give away an apartment was an easy thing for him to do.

"This place is really beautiful!"

As soon as Xu Ningxue entered, she immediately fell in love with the place, not just because the room was decorated in an elegantly luxurious style, but more importantly, because she wanted to have a private space with Ye Feng.

"Ye Big Brother, Sister-in-law, the kitchen is also stocked with various fresh vegetables that you can cook yourselves if you feel like eating something! I have to go back and deal with that Mr. Zhang, so I won't disturb you two anymore!"

Zhao Tian was very understanding. At that moment, he gave Ye Feng a meaningful glance and then left straight away.

After Zhao Tian left, only Ye Feng and Xu Ningxue remained. This made the atmosphere of the place become somewhat ambiguous.

Xu Ningxue's face was slightly flushed with red, as this was the first time she was alone with Ye Feng. Her heart was both excited and a bit nervous.

"Ye Feng, what would you like to eat? I'll go and cook for you!" Xu Ningxue looked at Ye Feng at that moment, her face turning even redder, and she asked with her head lowered.

Ye Feng touched his stomach, feeling quite hungry. He had attended two parties that evening, but he hadn't had the time to eat anything.

"Anything is fine, I'm not picky at all!" Ye Feng said to Xu Ningxue with a smile.

"Okay! Then… then I'll go and cook; we can start eating soon!"

Xu Ningxue seemed exceptionally happy about the prospect of cooking for Ye Feng. With a radiant smile on her face, she said this and then put on a brand-new apron before heading straight into the kitchen.

A moment later, as the sound of chopping vegetables came from the kitchen, Ye Feng's heart stirred slightly. He lay down on the soft sofa, his expression somewhat dreamy.

Back when he was with the Shadow Group, after becoming tired of killing, he had also fantasized about marrying a wife, watching TV on the sofa, while his wife cooked for him in the kitchen.

And now, listening to the sound of chopping in the kitchen and seeing Xu Ningxue, who looked like a lovely little chef, a hint of warmth and peace surfaced in Ye Feng's heart.

Without a doubt, Xu Ningxue would make an excellent wife and mother, the kind any man would dream of.

Her gentle nature, lovely face, and perfect figure held the most powerful allure for any man.

Ye Feng's thoughts surged, and at that moment, he stood up and walked straight into the kitchen, then gently embraced Xu Ningxue from behind.

Xu Ningxue, who was cutting vegetables, instinctively wanted to struggle when she felt someone hugging her. However, once she realized it was Ye Feng, she calmed down, a sweet blush spreading across her face.

The atmosphere was serene; neither of them spoke, simply enjoying this faintly sweet and warm feeling.

After a long while, Ye Feng gave a gentle smile and then said, "Let me help you cook!"

With that said, Ye Feng took Xu Ningxue's hand and started to cut the vegetables on the cutting board together, slowly at first.

Seeing this, Xu Ningxue was initially stunned. Then, her face blossomed with a cheerful smile. But it was only a moment before she saw Ye Feng guiding her hand to chop the vegetables faster and faster, until it was like a shadow flitting by. The chopping sounds echoed without a pause, and the vegetables were neatly tossed into the plate one after another.

Clang clang clang!

The kitchen was filled with a series of crisp sounds, accompanied by the clear and sweet laughter of Xu Ningxue.
