Qin Chaoyan’s figure loomed above, supporting his wheelchair with his arms, looking down at Ye Rongxu without blinking.
Suddenly, he chewed the candy in his mouth into pieces, swallowed it whole, and leaned over to kiss Ye Rongxu, who was still trying to hide.
Ye Rongxu was stunned, listening to the sound of him chewing the candy, thinking: good teeth.
The next second, he was caught by these good teeth, like a weak little animal caught by a predator.
He sank into the wheelchair, instinctively wanting to curl up, but was forced to unfold his thin body and tilt his neck up to bear it.
The sweet fructose mixture permeated, from the tip of the teeth to the root of the tongue, and finally his cheeks were sore from the kiss. Ye Rongxu almost lost his breath. When he was released, his thin chest rose and fell slightly, his beautiful eyes were moist, and the corner of his eyes was slightly red. He couldn’t help but glare at Qin Chaoyan hatefully.
This look didn’t have much killing power, but it was a bit seductive.
Qin Chaoyan paused slightly while caressing his chest, and after a while, he whispered in his ear, “If you’re not feeling well, don’t try to seduce me.”
It seemed like he was a little aggrieved.
Ye Rongxu was so angry that he glared at him again: Who seduced you?
Qin Chaoyan paused again, took a deep breath, and thought secretly: I must make Xuxu healthy.

Back at the venue, the annual meetings of both sides were almost coming to an end.
Qin Chaoyan didn’t go back to Qin’s side; instead, he planned to go to Ye Group’s annual meeting with Ye Rongxu, but on the way, he met two acquaintances—to be precise, they were Ye Rongxu’s acquaintances.
Xie Yi, who had just spoken at the annual meeting of Qin’s Group, was standing by the stairs, frowning and listening to what the yellow head Xie Yu was gesturing.
The two soon also noticed a gaze sweeping over, looking up to see that it was Ye Rongxu, and froze slightly.
Xie Yu’s eyes visibly lit up, and he wanted to come over, but Xie Yi grabbed his collar and pulled him back.
Then Xie Yi straightened his suit and walked towards the two of them calmly.
Ye Rongxu just glanced at them accidentally and was about to leave, but he didn’t expect Xie Yi to come first.
The two brothers give off different vibes. Xie Yi obviously appeared more reliable. Perhaps because of childhood memories, Ye Rongxu felt a little less distant.
He hesitated but decided to stay.
Of course, the most important thing was that he wanted to test Xie Yi’s attitude to see if he really wanted to deal with Qin Chaoyan and support Qin Jingxu.
While thinking, Xie Yi had already walked to the wheelchair.
He raised his gaze to look at Qin Chaoyan, paused for a moment, and then nodded to greet Ye Rongxu.
“Xiao Xu, long time no see. How’s your health these years?” He smiled warmly and was very polite.
But Ye Rongxu clearly felt a sense of polite estrangement.
This was inevitable. After all, they were just playmates when they were young and hadn’t seen each other for many years. Not everyone was like Xie Yu, who was always socially adept.
But Ye Rongxu had an inexplicable feeling that his politeness and alienation were intentional.
His lips tightened, and without further comment, he extended his hand for a quick handshake before speaking, “Long time no see, Brother Xie Yi.”
Xie Yi didn’t say anything and didn’t even let him introduce Qin Chaoyan behind him. He just exchanged a few words, showing the proper etiquette of an old acquaintance, and then stepped back and made way for the two to pass.
Ye Rongxu didn’t say much either, turned his head, and smiled warmly at Qin Chaoyan, saying, “Let’s go.”
His voice softened a little.
Qin Chaoyan had been tense just now, but when Ye Rongxu smiled at him, his expression relaxed a little, and he also smiled slightly, lowered his head, and said, “Yeah.”
Then he pushed Ye Rongxu away without even looking at Xie Yi.
Xie Yi seemed to be a little surprised to see this scene, and after a long while, he became thoughtful again.
Xie Yu, who was pulled aside by his brother, came over. Seeing Ye Rongxu leaving, he turned around and frowned and asked, “Brother, why did you treat Xiao Xuxu like that? You were too… At least we had such a good time when we were young. Before I came, my mother specifically told me…”
“Xiaoyu, stay away from the Ye family in the future.” Xie Yi suddenly interrupted in a deep voice.
“What?” Xie Yu was stunned.
Not knowing what came to his mind, he suddenly looked around, then lowered his voice and asked carefully, “Brother, aren’t you here to help Qin Jingxu deal with the Qin family?”
What does it have to do with the Ye family and Xiao Xu? Although Ye Rongxu’s current fiancé is the illegitimate son of the Qin family, as long as he does not inherit the Qin family’s business, it won’t hinder anything. After he became the Ye family’s son-in-law, he won’t have any involvement with the Qin family, right?
Xie Yi glanced at his brother and said in a slightly deep tone, “Things are not as simple as you think.”
Xie Yu became more and more confused as he listened.
Xie Yi frowned and lowered his voice: “I don’t know the details, but judging from Uncle’s intention, I’m afraid he’s not only going to deal with the Qin family but also the Ye family…”
He paused and frowned more and more deeply. To be honest, he couldn’t guess what his uncle Xie Yunming was going to do, but he could feel his hatred for the Qin and Ye families.
If he had to confront the Ye family in the future, it would be better not to contact Ye Rongxu about their childhood relationship now, so as not to… feel guilty in the future.
Xie Yi took a deep breath, turned to look at his brother, who still had a question mark on his forehead, and said, “In short, even if it’s for Ye Rongxu’s good, you should have less contact with him.”

After meeting Xie Yi, Ye Rongxu always felt a little uneasy. After returning home, he told Ye Boxuan about this matter.
It happened that Qin Chaoyan and Ji Qingyu were there, so Ye Boxuan asked them their opinions first.
Ji Qingyu commented, “He’s not a good person.”
Qin Chaoyan was more direct, saying, “Qin Jingxu wants to use the Xie family to gain a foothold in the Qin Group. Qin Qijiang wants to use the Xie family to inject capital to get rid of Qin Group’s current predicament, but the Xie family…I’m afraid they want to take this opportunity to swallow up the Qin family.”
He had heard the blueprint for cooperation described by Qin Qijiang at the annual meeting, and his guess was bolder.
Ye Boxuan nodded and said, “Your father might be leading the wolves into the house this time.”
Other than that, when the matter of Qin Qijiang’s repeated cheating and having more than one illegitimate child came out, Xie Yunming almost drove him to death to vent his anger for his sister Xie Yunzhao.
Especially after Xie Yunzhao’s accidental death, Qin Qijiang was forced by the crazy Xie Yunming to hide in his mistress’s residence and dared not show his face. In the end, he even caused his parents to go to the Xie family to apologize.
The Old Master of the Qin family wasn’t in good health at that time. He dragged his sick body and went to the Xie family with a thick face. Xie Yunming was not polite at all and bluntly asked Qin Qijiang to die as an apology.
Later, Old Master Qin passed away early, which was more or less due to being angered by Qin Qijiang’s matter.
At that time, the head of the Xie family was not yet Xie Yunming, and with the death of Old Master Qin, it was really difficult to continue the disturbance. In the end, the old couple of the Xie family pressured Xie Yunming to leave the country, leaving this piece of sadness in Jiangcheng.
As for why the Xie family also transferred all the industries, no one knew.
At that time, the Ye family also had a lot of things going on, and they had no time to get involved. After the Xie family went abroad, they didn’t contact them again, so Ye Boxuan wasn’t very cle
However, he truly admired Qin Qijiang. He had caused such a stir back then, and even the Xie family didn’t even come to see Qin Jingxu for so many years, yet he dared to cooperate with the Xie family. Did he think that Xie Yi was not as crazy as Xie Yunming?
But now Xie Yunming is in power in the Xie family, and Xie Yi is only the president of the C country region. In the end, he still has to listen to Xie Yunming.
Ye Boxuan shook his head secretly, but after all, they are future in-laws. Ye and Qin have been friends for many years, and the two groups have cooperated multiple times. It is worth mentioning to some extent.
But as an outsider, it was not easy for him to say it too obviously. If he really said it, Qin Qijiang might still feel that his words were hurtful.
So he simply called the old lady of the Qin family to mention it; as for whether the old lady can persuade her son, he has no control over it.
Because of the kindness from the older generation, the Ye family has helped the Qin family a lot over the years, and with the things Qin Jingxu did, Ye Boxuan felt that he had done his best.
He didn’t want to get involved in the grievances between the Xie family and the Qin family. If the Xie family really dealt with the Qin family, he would not add insult to injury, but he probably wouldn’t help them anymore.
In response, Ye Rongxu’s small face was full of worry: “Dad, you also have to be careful. I feel that Brother Xie Yi’s estranged attitude today is because he doesn’t want to be involved in any relationship with us, so as not to make things difficult in the future.”
Qin Chaoyan looked up at him.
Ye Boxuan also rubbed his head and sighed: “As your dad, do I still need you to tell me this? I thought of it a long time ago.”
The Ye family and the Qin family have been closely related over the years. Even if he didn’t intend to help the Qin family anymore, the Xie family wasn’t aware of this. Besides, Qin Chaoyan is still a member of the Qin family. Any normal person would think that the Ye and Qin families are one.
If the Xie family really deals with the Qin family, it’s hard to guarantee that they won’t also target the Ye Group. It’s necessary to take precautions in advance.
But he didn’t want Ye Rongxu to worry too much and said, “Okay, Dad will handle these things. You’ve been dragging all day. It’s time to call it a night and get some sleep.”
Ye Rongxu was surprised: “I’m not that tired.”
Although he attended the annual meeting, he was sitting in a wheelchair and didn’t move much.
Ye Boxuan coughed lightly and teased him, “Isn’t it tiring for my darling child to help Daddy analyze so much today?”
Ye Rongxu’s face turned red when he was teased. Just then, Grandpa Ye and Grandma Ye were coming downstairs. He hurriedly shouted, “Grandpa and Grandma, please take care of your son.”
The two elders of the Ye family looked confused. Although they didn’t know what happened, when they heard their grandson complaining, their first reaction was to scold their son first.
Ye Boxuan: “…”
Ji Qingyu laughed so hard that he fell forward and backward. Qin Chaoyan was thoughtful when he heard the word “darling.”
Ji Qingyu noticed it and explained to him: “Xu Xu’s nickname is “Darling[mfn]囡囡 means little girl, little darling, used as an endearment term for a baby girl.[/mfn]”. He was very cute when he was a child, like a girl.”
After that, he patted Qin Chaoyan’s shoulder and continued to laugh.
Qin Chaoyan: “…” What’s so funny about that?
Ye Rongxu looked at Ji Qingyu with a resentful face and asked the same question: “Is it that funny?”
Ji Qingyu quickly stopped laughing and patted Qin Chaoyan’s shoulder to hint: Take your boyfriend upstairs to rest.
Although Ye Rongxu looks pretty and well-behaved, he has a bad temper. If the little firecracker is lit and he gets angry, it will be difficult to appease him.
Qin Chaoyan looked at Ji Qingyu disapprovingly and stood up to pick up Ye Rongxu, who was sitting on the sofa.
Ye Rongxu wanted to flutter, but he was picked up horizontally and brought upstairs without needing a wheelchair.
Ye Boxuan hurriedly said, “Xu Xu, don’t move; be careful not to fall.”
Ye Rongxu froze for a moment, not daring to flutter around, but couldn’t stay still for two seconds. He hugged Qin Chaoyan’s neck tightly and poked his head out of his arms, glaring angrily at his father and Ji Qingyu.
The next second, Qin Chaoyan pushed his head back.
Ji Qingyu shook his head and clicked his tongue, “Tsk tsk.” With the support of his boyfriend, he had become more fierce.
Back in the bedroom, Ye Rongxu was placed on the bed, his black hair slightly disheveled. He raised his head and glared at Qin Chaoyan.
Qin Chaoyan poked his puffy cheek with amusement and said, “Are you still angry?”
Ye Rongxu’s cheek was deflated, but he was still unhappy and said, “You help them, not me.”
Qin Chaoyan was helpless: “Then I’ll carry you down to quarrel with Uncle and Brother Ji?”
Ye Rongxu said angrily, “…That’s not necessary.”
Qin Chaoyan looked at him, and somehow, he suddenly remembered a video he had seen on the Internet: a beautiful little Pomeranian was held in the arms of the owner, barking at the people around him fiercely, but as soon as the owner let go, he instantly became obedient and allowed to be touched…
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Ye Rongxu’s behavior just now was like the little Pomeranian in the video, and he couldn’t help laughing.
Ye Rongxu looked up with the resentment still present on his face, and he asked in disbelief, “What are you laughing at?”
Qin Chaoyan coughed lightly, holding back his laughter, saying, “Nothing.”
Ye Rongxu: “…” Weirdo.
He lowered his eyelids again and began to complain in his heart that Ye Boxuan had teased him just now and called him by his shameful nickname. He didn’t allow others to call him this nickname after he turned ten. His father was really too much.
Just as he was thinking, Qin Chaoyan suddenly sat down beside him and called out, “Xu Xu?”
Ye Rongxu was still complaining in his heart and ignored him.
Qin Chaoyan then hugged him and leaned over to whisper in his ear, “Little darling?”
Ye Rongxu’s hands and feet were all held, and the whole person was like a dumpling, almost completely held in his arms. Just as he was about to turn his head to ask him, “What are you doing?” he was caught off guard by this hoarse whispering call. The whole person froze, and then his face seemed to be burned red, and his voice stuttered: “You, what are you calling me?”
Qin Chaoyan hugged him tightly, completely lifted him up, tilted his head, and said with a slight smile, “I heard Father-in-law call you that just now.”
Ye Rongxu: Who, who is your father-in-law? No, what are you callinggg?
He stared wide-eyed, so overwhelmed that he didn’t know where to put his hands and feet for a moment, as if Qin Chaoyan calling him this was more embarrassing than when others do it.
