Chapter 82 A Passionate Night With Ye Sijue

Mu Xia's brows clumped together in a frown. "What nonsense are you spewing now?"

Beside her, Xue Zongzhou shot a sharp gaze at Xu Xingxing as well. He warned, "Do mind your language, Miss."

Xue Zongzhou assumed that Xu Xingxing would shrink away like some frightened rodent and apologize to Mu Xia, but that wasn't the case. Xu Xingxing raised a leering brow at him while rebuking, "Mr. Xue, is your boss aware of your gallivant ways out here? I suggest you be careful while playing with fire because Young Master Ye is not a lenient man. He won't tolerate a sloppy secretary."

Then she yanked He Yiting's wrist and sashayed off without waiting for Xue Zongzhou or Mu Xia's response.

He Yiting walked with shaky knees as she asked, "Xu Xingxing… Is it wise to speak so rudely to Mr. Xue?"

Xu Xingxing huffed, "Why does it matter? That pathetic secretary will be relieved from his position and left to roam the streets soon. Once he becomes useless, I doubt Mu Xia will stick to him as she's doing now!"

She scowled inwardly. 「Xia is just like her scheming father, Situ Hai—power-hungry monsters.」

Flaring with irritation, Xu Xingxing dialed her butler's number. ["Aidemeng, find out Young Master Ye's current location at once."]

Aidemeng paused nervously on the other end of the call. He eventually stuttered, ["A-are you referring to Young Master Ye of Ye Group, Young Miss Xu?"]

["Who else, isn't it obvious?"]

["Um… I'm afraid it's impossible to track the current whereabouts of a big shot like Young Master Ye."]

Within seconds, Xu Xingxing's expression darkened as cried, ["I don't care! You'll do as I say and track him now. Otherwise, you can kiss your job goodbye!"]

Aidemeng hung up shortly after. His blinking gray eyes stared gravely into the space.

「How on earth will I track him…」

Coincidentally, one of the Xu's family housekeepers had just returned from delivering gifts to Qin Ranfeng. They mentioned that Qin Ranfeng was visiting Ye Sijue at the Jun's family residence.

That helper was quite the babble mouth. He rambled on, "I don't get why these men gather so frequently. What a waste of leisure time! I personally think that Young Master Qin should be using this opportunity to spend more time with Young Miss Xu."

Nevertheless, Aidemeng's eyes lit up gratefully for this newfound information. He instantly dialed Xu Xingxing's number.

["Young Miss Xu, I found it. Young Master Ye is currently at the Jun's family."]

["The Jun family? "] Xu Xingxing casually checked on her nails. Her lips curled with delight as a plan hatched in her mind. ["That's even better. Xue Zongzhou and Mu Xia were frolicking about in the Jun's family territory. What a perfect opportunity to rat them out to Young Master Ye."]

Once their call ended, Xu Xingxing turned to look at He Yiting. "I'm going to visit Young Master Ye. You should head home if you're too much of a chicken. Also, inform the others that I'm off to see Young Master Ye. Tell them that I won't be joining them for tea."

He Yiting had initially crossed her arms tightly in panic. However, this changed at the mention of Ye Sijue's name; an eager gleam flitted across He Yiting's eyes.

「Xu Xingxing's family, the Xu family, were close with the Qin family because of the marriage contract between her and Young Master Qin. Hence, this gave Xu Xingxing frequent access to meeting men from Kyoto.」 He Yiting had always envied Xu Xingxing for this, because her chances of encountering those handsome men from Kyoto were zero.

The more He Yiting thought about this, the more a steadfast determination surged through her veins. She stated, "How could I let you face that alone? I'm coming with you!"

Xu Xingxing's eyes roamed over He Yiting, studying her in approval. "I'm impressed. You've always seemed like an opportunistic minion, but I guess you're pretty loyal to me, huh? Alright then, let's go together and make sure those two get kicked out of Kyoto for good!"

"Absobloodylutely!" He Yiting nodded with passion.

「Perfect! I'm finally meeting Young Master Ye!」

My looks are comparable to Xu Xingxing's, so maybe Young Master Ye might fall in love with me at first sight.

「I don't care if I'm not worthy of marrying into the Ye family. Just spending a passionate night with the young master is more than enough for me. I'll be living out every girl's dream!」

The two had different plans, but both merrily went their way to the Jun's family residence.

Meanwhile, Mu Xia hadn't paid any mind to Xu Xingxing's ultimatum.

Mu Xia had dismissed Xue Zongzhou, instructing him not to follow her around, to which he complied. Then she spent the rest of her day shopping with Fanny. While they browsed through some clothing racks, Mu Xia explained her current situation and expressed her wish to keep her identity a secret.
