The taxi sped along quickly, soon arriving at the villa area on Peony Street. The number 16 villa on Peony Street was a gift from Long Yuqing, so Qin Ruomeng was unaware of its existence. It was considered Ye Tianfan's secret residence.

Ye Tianfan planned to let Yao Lingshan stay here temporarily.

"Feng Yue?"

Arriving at the villa's entrance, Yao Lingshan looked up and saw the villa's name.

Feng Yue Villa.

Derived from the romantic notions of 'wind, flowers, snow, and moon,' any perceptive person could tell.

"It's just a name, don't overthink it." Ye Tianfan casually explained, but felt as though his explanation was only making things worse.

Because Yao Lingshan had instinctively furrowed her small brows, her eyes looking toward the windows of Feng Yue Villa.

The villa was illuminated by dim yellow lights. At the window on the second floor of the villa, there was a graceful woman combing her hair, the shadow cast on the curtain looking quite vague. Judging by this shadow, the woman seemed to not be wearing clothes.

"Who is she?" Yao Lingshan instinctively asked.

Long Yuqing.

Ye Tianfan almost instantly thought of this name. At such a late hour, the woman appearing in this villa could only be Long Yuqing.

"A friend of mine." Ye Tianfan explained, then pushed open the villa door.

"Another female friend." Yao Lingshan muttered quietly with her lips pursed, seeming quite displeased with Ye Tianfan's tendency to attract attention.

"Come on, you'll stay here for now." Seeing Yao Lingshan standing outside with a face full of resentment, Ye Tianfan could only reach out and helplessly pull her inside.

At this moment, footsteps were heard from the second floor of the villa. Just finishing her shower, Long Yuqing, wearing a semi-transparent, thin gauze long dress, walked down the stairs.

"Brother Tianfan, why are you here?"

Seeing Ye Tianfan standing in the living room, Long Yuqing appeared very surprised. Ever since he married Qin Ruomeng, Long Yuqing thought he would not come here again, so she moved in by herself.

"Yuqing, let me introduce you, this is a friend of mine, named Yao Lingshan, who needs to stay here for a while."

Long Yuqing's eyes slowly fell on Yao Lingshan. Unlike Qin Ruomeng, Long Yuqing didn't have a cold attitude towards Yao Lingshan, nor did her eyes show any hostility, just curiosity about Yao Lingshan's identity.

"This villa was a gift to you in the first place. You can have whomever you want live here. I thought you wouldn't come again, so I moved in by myself. If it's inconvenient, I can move out."

While speaking, Long Yuqing's eyes analyzed Yao Lingshan up and down, but she couldn't quite figure out what was special about this young girl.

"Oh, that's not necessary. She's just staying for a while; she'll likely be leaving soon."

Ye Tianfan spoke frankly without seeking Yao Lingshan's approval, as he knew that Medicine King Valley would not let the herbs circulating on the black market slide, and news would come soon. By then, Yao Lingshan would naturally leave Jiangzhou.

"Alright then, let her stay. If there's anything you need, just let me know, and I'll have the housekeeper prepare it."

Long Yuqing was straightforward and agreed immediately.

"Thank you, Sister Long." Yao Lingshan graciously responded with an elegant ancient bow to Long Yuqing.

"You're too kind. Your name is Lingshan, right? Just treat this place like home, and don't feel like an outsider with me."

Long Yuqing, however, was clever enough to figure everything out. As the young master of an Ancient Vein Family, the women around Ye Tianfan are bound to come from significant backgrounds. Moreover, Yao Lingshan's standard ancient bow already explained everything; she should also come from an Ancient Vein Family.

"Have you eaten yet?" Long Yuqing asked casually as she descended the stairs.

At this moment, both Ye Tianfan and Yao Lingshan's faces showed embarrassment. Indeed, they had been so busy that they were truly hungry. Long Yuqing's mention only heightened their hunger.

"Is there anything to eat?" Ye Tianfan asked awkwardly, scratching his head.

Even the composed Long Yuqing couldn't help but burst into laughter. She hadn't expected Ye Tianfan to look so awkward.

"Just a moment, I'll have Grandpa Jin send some food over."

Long Yuqing smiled and picked up her phone from the table in the living room, calling Grandpa Jin.

If we were to compare efficiency, the Long Group definitely surpasses the Qin Group. After all, Long Yuqing is the underground queen of Jiangzhou City, with far more resources than Qin Ruomeng. It wasn't long before Grandpa Jin brought a table full of dishes, featuring various cuisines and plenty of seafood.

Not only that, but Grandpa Jin also brought along chefs from the hotel, with bodyguards carrying a wide variety of vegetables and ingredients.

"Young Master Ye, if these dishes don't suit your taste, let me know, and I'll have them cook something else."

One must admit, Grandpa Jin is truly efficient and tactful in handling matters. His ability to gain Long Yuqing's appreciation and dominate the underground forces in Jiangzhou City definitely has its reasons.

"No need, no need, Grandpa Jin has organized everything well." Ye Tianfan waved his hands repeatedly. He wasn't someone who indulged in luxury or picked and chose—plain meals were enough for him.

At this time, Yao Lingshan was already secretly swallowing her saliva, genuinely hungry. But since Ye Tianfan hadn't yet taken a seat, she stood obediently behind him, following the ancient custom where women couldn't start without the host, and even if seated, couldn't touch the food until he did.

"I think Miss Lingshan is already quite hungry, let's sit down quickly, I haven't eaten yet either, so let's all eat together." Long Yuqing pulled out a chair and sat down.

Ye Tianfan sat down casually, and it was only then that Yao Lingshan followed suit, her eyes eagerly fixed on the delectable dishes on the table.

"Grandpa Jin, sit down and eat too." Ye Tianfan suggested, looking at Grandpa Jin, who stood sternly behind Long Yuqing. It's worth noting that Long Yuqing's leadership was commendable, as her subordinates all understood the decorum. Even someone with as high a status as Grandpa Jin showed no airs around her.

"In the young lady's meal gathering, how could I join?" Grandpa Jin with a smile waved off the invitation, politely rejecting Ye Tianfan's suggestion.

"Since Brother Tianfan has invited you, have a seat and eat. Remember, in the future, what he says is equivalent to what I say."

Long Yuqing spoke directly, causing a slight shiver in Grandpa Jin's heart. He nodded quickly, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

Only then did Ye Tianfan pick up his chopsticks and take the first bite.

Seeing Ye Tianfan start eating, Yao Lingshan, impatiently waiting, also picked up her chopsticks and began.

Everyone chatted as they ate. After some thought, Long Yuqing casually remarked, "Have you heard of a company called Tianyu Group recently?"
