As soon as Qin Ruomeng finished speaking, a faint smile appeared on her face. Her almond-shaped eyes squinted slightly as she looked at Ye Tianfan and said in a playful voice, "Did you hit a wall with Ji Liancheng? Realizing you can't recruit him, are you thinking about having one last grand time before marrying into the Qin family?"

After speaking to herself, Qin Ruomeng gave Ye Tianfan a coquettish glance and said, "If that's the case, I forgive you. Men, before marriage, are free, and I won't hold it against you. But after we get married, you are not allowed to go to such places!"

Upon hearing Qin Ruomeng's words, Ye Tianfan nearly spat out the sip of water he had just drunk! It's said that a woman's sixth sense is usually accurate, but how come Qin Ruomeng's sixth sense is so off the mark? Not just off, but way off the mark!

"Miss Qin, where exactly did you get the feeling that I couldn't recruit Ji Liancheng?" Ye Tianfan raised an eyebrow and looked at Qin Ruomeng with a hint of amusement.

This woman is single-mindedly trying to pull him into the Qin family. They're not even married yet, and she's already starting to control everything. If they really got married, wouldn't his personal freedom be completely restricted?

He must completely change the situation! No matter what, he has to recruit Ji Liancheng into the Qin family!

At this moment, Qin Ruomeng furrowed her brow slightly and said, "Then tell me, after you met Ji Liancheng today, did he agree to join our Qin Group?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Tianfan paused slightly, shook his head, and said, "I met Ji Liancheng today. He has some skills, a personality that's unyielding, with a bit of pride. Recruiting him into your Qin Group is not a difficult thing, but..."

Qin Ruomeng raised an eyebrow, seemingly having expected this outcome, and said with a slight smile, "But it's just a case of his body here, but his heart elsewhere, right? You might bring him in, but his heart isn't with our Qin Group. What's the point of bringing him over like that anyway? Our gentleman's agreement is clear, we want him to join our Qin Group willingly and sincerely."

Ye Tianfan frowned and said, "No need to remind me, since I promised to help you recruit him, I'll certainly follow through!"

Seeing Ye Tianfan's serious expression, Qin Ruomeng instead wore a face full of smiles, saying, "Don't push yourself too hard. It's fine if you can't recruit him."

At this moment, Qin Ruomeng was full of charm, tenderly looking at Ye Tianfan. Although she didn't say it, Ye Tianfan clearly knew that if he couldn't recruit Ji Liancheng, he'd have to marry into the Qin family and live a life away from all the beautiful women.

"Don't worry, after I turn twenty-four next week, I'll make sure Ji Liancheng is willing to go to your Qin Corporation!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Ruomeng's expression slightly changed, and she said, "Oh...if you hadn't mentioned it, I almost forgot. It's your birthday next week."

Ye Tianfan glanced at Qin Ruomeng and said, "Miss Qin, you're so busy managing everything, what could you possibly remember?"

Qin Ruomeng's face was full of apologies, and she quickly said, "Oh dear, I just started getting into the Qin Group's business these days and got a bit busy, but don't worry, you're my future husband. I'll definitely choose the best hotel and make the grandest arrangement, splendidly..."

The more Qin Ruomeng said, the more chaotic Ye Tianfan's mind became, and he quickly waved it off, saying, "No...please don't! Let's not discuss whether we can get married yet; I don't want to be so ostentatious! It'll only bring trouble."

Thinking of this, Ye Tianfan felt somewhat disheartened. In the past, he used to quietly sneak to Su Yueyi's noodle shop on his birthday and have a bowl of beef noodles as a celebration. The atmosphere was always cozy and full of laughter.

But now, Su Yueyi has become the general manager of the sales department of the Long Group, a true leap to success. Although the noodle shop is still there, everything's changed. It's now difficult to have a bowl of beef noodles personally made by Su Yueyi.

Just then, Ming Yu suddenly lifted her little head, blinking at Ye Tianfan, and asked, "Is brother having a birthday?"

Ye Tianfan smiled slightly and said, "Yes, once brother's birthday is over, I'll help you treat your illness."

Saying this, Ye Tianfan looked at the leftovers on the table and asked, "Are you full, Ming Yu?"

Ming Yu nodded hard and said, "Yes, I'm full."

"If you're full, let's go back."

Qin Ruomeng got up to settle the bill, and the three of them walked slowly towards the hotel door. Just as they were about to get into the car, Ye Tianfan suddenly saw a familiar figure flash by at the street corner.

Yan Feishuang? How could she appear here?

Ever since Yan Feishuang resigned from Kyoto University, Ye Tianfan had been worried he couldn't find her. But luckily, he came across her here!

Yan Feishuang's figure was agile, with a slender frame leaping and turning. Under the cover of night, she was like a black cat, swiftly darting into the alley and disappearing. But behind her was a mysterious man in a black robe, and the chilling aura he emitted was clearly targeting Yan Feishuang.

At this moment, Ye Tianfan furrowed his brows slightly. The chilling aura emanating from the man in the black robe contained subtle mystical strength, and it was quite familiar—it was from the Ye family's cultivation techniques! It seems this black-robed man is the Ye family's traitorous servant that Ghost Servant mentioned before. Ye Tianfan deliberately returned the Blood Clotting Jade to Yan Feishuang to lure him out!

Ye Tianfan's mouth curled into a cold smile, whispering to himself, "Once you're lost, it's hard to find your way, but now it's all fallen into place without any effort! It's time to clean house!"

Before he finished speaking, Ye Tianfan waved at Qin Ruomeng and said with a smile, "You guys go back first, I have something to handle."

Qin Ruomeng instantly furrowed her brows and shot Ye Tianfan a coquettish and angry look, saying, "What are you planning to do now?"

Ye Tianfan shrugged helplessly and said, "I told you I have something to take care of. You take Ming Yu home first. I'll come back after I'm done."

With these words, Ye Tianfan opened the car door and forcefully pushed Qin Ruomeng into the car, then beckoned for Ming Yu to get in as well.

"I'll be waiting for you at the villa!" Qin Ruomeng rolled down the window, eyes full of wistful affection, looking at Ye Tianfan.

"Got it, got it!"

Watching Qin Ruomeng's car disappear down the street, a cold glint flashed in Ye Tianfan's eyes. With a burst of mystical strength surrounding him, he shot off like lightning in the direction where Yan Feishuang had vanished.

Ye Tianfan's speed was incredibly fast. Although Elder Ye forbade him from using the Ye family's ultimate technique **"Chasing the Wind Across Thousands of Miles"**, his lightweight body technique was still beyond an ordinary person's reach. In less than half a minute, Ye Tianfan caught up with Yan Feishuang's figure. At this moment, Yan Feishuang's right arm was already bleeding slightly, clearly injured. She was cornered by the black-robed man.

Ye Tianfan hid in the shadows, observing the situation. The black-robed man, with a chilling and murderous aura, slowly approached Yan Feishuang.
