After turning a corner in the hotel corridor, Ye Tianfan and Long Yuqing, one after the other, entered the elevator.

"Miss Long, actually I have another question I'd like to ask you."

Long Yuqing was feeling a bit disappointed, not wanting to let Ye Tianfan leave just like that, but she couldn't find any reason to keep him. Now with Ye Tianfan suddenly asking this, a ripple stirred in Long Yuqing's heart.

"What would Brother Ye like to ask? Is it about my measurements? Or my address?"

Long Yuqing's almond-shaped eyes sparkled, her tone quite teasing. In the confined space of the elevator, Long Yuqing stepped forward slowly, her body almost touching Ye Tianfan's, her breath as delicate as orchids, eyes carrying a hint of allure. As she spoke, her jade hands gently wrapped around Ye Tianfan's arm.

Long Yuqing's seductive skills are far stronger than Qin Ruomeng's!

Looking at Long Yuqing's stunningly beautiful face, Ye Tianfan felt a wave of heat rush through his body. He quickly drew his arm back from Long Yuqing's embrace, then smiled slightly and said, "Miss Long, you've misunderstood. I actually want to ask about Su Yueyi."

"Su Yueyi?"

Hearing Ye Tianfan mention this name, Long Yuqing couldn't help but furrow her brows slightly. She already knew that Ye Tianfan had some interest in this Su Yueyi, but she wasn't sure how far their relationship had developed. Now, with Ye Tianfan suddenly bringing it up, a sly glint flashed across Long Yuqing's eyes, and she lightly parted her red lips, saying, "Why ask about her? Does Brother Ye want her as well?"

Ye Tianfan chuckled and shook his head. It was already extremely difficult to try and take Ji Liancheng from Long Yuqing's hands; he had no intention of also trying to take Su Yueyi! Besides, Ye Tianfan had no reason to want Su Yueyi.

"Of course not. I am just curious—according to my understanding, this Su Yueyi is quite mediocre with nothing particularly outstanding. Why did Miss Long spend so much to recruit her into the Long Group, and straight into a lucrative position like the Sales Manager?"

Seeing Ye Tianfan's curious expression, Long Yuqing couldn't help but smile. She intentionally hooked a finger and said mysteriously, "Come closer. This is the top secret of our Long Family. I can't let everyone know, I have to whisper it in your ear."

In the elevator, it was just Ye Tianfan and Long Yuqing. Though Ye Tianfan knew Long Yuqing was playing tricks again, he still leaned his ear closer.

Just as expected, Long Yuqing's lips curved into a mysterious smile. Right as Ye Tianfan leaned in, she suddenly planted a kiss on his cheek. The elevator echoed with Long Yuqing's bell-like laughter as she said, "Brother Ye is really easy to trick."

Ye Tianfan awkwardly smiled, feeling the warmth of that kiss on his cheek. He spoke, "Now can you tell me?"

Long Yuqing's eyes were full of laughter, her delicate face as lovely as a peach blossom in March. She shook her head slightly at Ye Tianfan and said, "Since it's a secret of our Long Family, of course, I can't tell you so easily unless..."

Ye Tianfan raised his eyebrows and said, "Unless I join your Long Corporation, right?"

"Correct!"

Long Yuqing playfully snapped her fingers, her face full of mischief.

At this moment, Ye Tianfan instinctively raised his eyebrows, looking at Long Yuqing, and said, "If you don't want to say, forget it. After all, I'm not that curious. Just thought I'd ask."

Hearing that Ye Tianfan wasn't pressing further, Long Yuqing pouted slightly, her red lips curling into a smile without further explanation. Long Yuqing knew in her heart that Ye Tianfan wouldn't be drawn into the Long Family over such a small matter; she just didn't want to give him the real reason.

Ye Tianfan, pretending to be ignorant, insisted he was merely curious but couldn't help feeling a bit worried inside.

After all, Su Yueyi is such an innocent girl, and Ye Tianfan doesn't want her to become a victim of this business war.

From the dinner just now, Ye Tianfan had already experienced Long Yuqing's tactics; she's quite formidable. If she brings Su Yueyi with such favorable conditions to the Long Corporation, there must be an ulterior motive!

As for what the deep motive is, Ye Tianfan knew that if Long Yuqing was unwilling to say, asking further would be in vain.

At this moment, the elevator slowly stopped on the first floor of the Celestial Dragon Restaurant. Ye Tianfan raised his hand to wrap Long Yuqing's slender waist, lightly kissing her cheek and whispered, "Miss Long, this is far enough, you should head back. Mr. Fang is still waiting for you upstairs."

Long Yuqing's cheeks blushed, and she softly acknowledged with a mosquito-like hum, then asked, "Brother Ye, when can I invite you for another meal?"

Ye Tianfan turned back with a smile and said, "Well, let's see where fate takes us."

With those words, Ye Tianfan left the Celestial Dragon Restaurant without looking back.

Watching Ye Tianfan's departing figure, Long Yuqing's eyebrows drooped, the smile like a spring breeze on her face gradually fading. A moment ago, Long Yuqing, so petite and adorable, suddenly transformed, her demeanor now exuding a frosty aura that was noble and kept people at a distance.

The queen of the underworld in Jiangzhou City — this is the aura Long Yuqing should have!

At this moment, Long Yuqing let out a cold snort, her lips curling into a sinister cold smile, softly whispering, "Qin Family, hmph! It's time to settle the debts. This battle will start with Ye Tianfan! This man shall belong to the Long Family!"

Elsewhere, after leaving the Celestial Dragon Restaurant, Ye Tianfan was humming a little tune, feeling exceptionally pleased. Now that he had Ji Liancheng's termination contract, he would no longer be tangled with Qin Ruomeng!

Ye Tianfan left the hotel without stopping, hailing a taxi to head straight to the villa at Kyoto University.

At that moment, Qin Ruomeng was pacing back and forth in the living room with a worried expression. When she got up this morning, Ye Tianfan was already gone, which made Qin Ruomeng anxious and upset, afraid Long Yuqing would pull some dirty trick on Ye Tianfan. Knowing how even Elder Qin was wary of Long Yuqing, Qin Ruomeng thought Ye Tianfan was in deep trouble with her!

As Qin Ruomeng was drowning in anxiety, the villa's door suddenly swung open, and in came Ye Tianfan, full of spring exuberance. He glanced at Qin Ruomeng briefly, then strode quickly inside and, without a word, plopped onto the sofa, slapping the termination contract Long Yuqing gave on the table before him.

"It's done! This is the Long Group's termination contract!"

Qin Ruomeng was slightly taken aback, her eyes filled with disbelief and confusion. She glanced at the contract on the table and asked, "What? What termination contract?"

Ye Tianfan raised an eyebrow, his face full of pride, and looked at Qin Ruomeng saying, "It's Ji Liancheng's termination contract with the Long Group! Long Yuqing has already signed it! All you need to do is get Ji Liancheng to sign it, and he'll formally cut ties with the Long Family!"

Seeing Ye Tianfan's face brimming with triumph, Qin Ruomeng could hardly believe her ears. She quickly picked up the termination contract from the table, exclaiming, "Impossible!"
