Both women looked at Ye Fei’s eyes with excited golden glints.
This sent a shiver down Ye Fei’s spine.
“Two beautiful ladies, I’m not Tang Monk’s flesh. Please don’t look at me like that!”
“Since everything is resolved, I’ll be heading back. I’ve been exhausted these past few days.”
Seeing that Ye Fei was indeed very tired, the two women did not try to keep him. Instead, they arranged for a driver to take him back to the He family’s residence to rest.
Upon returning to the He family, Ye Fei slept soundly.
The news that Ye Fei had solved a major problem for the He family also reached the ears of the He family patriarch.
While Ye Fei was still resting, the patriarch directly instructed:
“Yaoyao, my dear granddaughter, you must hold onto this young man Ye Fei tightly. I can see that his potential is limitless. Look at how easily he resolved such a huge crisis for our company!”
“With him around in the future, your good fortune has yet to come!”
Old Master He, being worldly-wise, saw through everything.
“Grandpa, you don’t need to worry so much!”
“Ye Fei has already told me that his heart belongs to someone else!”
“Am I, your granddaughter, not beautiful enough that I’d have trouble finding suitors?”
“You, on the other hand, should just enjoy your retirement in peace!”
He Jingyao leaned against her grandfather, appearing very calm.
“Cough, cough, cough.”
However, Ye Fei, who was about to go downstairs, heard all of this clearly.
He never expected this old man to have two faces.
Alas.
The ways of men are not what they used to be.
But he couldn’t be bothered to expose it. More importantly, women cared about their pride.
If this were brought up, it would surely make everyone feel awkward.
“Oh, my future grandson-in-law, you’re finally awake. Perfect, you’ll accompany Yaoyao to a banquet tomorrow evening.”
“You two young people can also cultivate your relationship.”
“Old man, I always keep my word. If the two of you don’t spark any fireworks within three months, I will definitely return the engagement contract to you!”
Old Master He smiled, like a playful old man.
“Fine, I’m truly impressed by you!”
“I will definitely go tomorrow!”
Ye Fei knew that if he didn’t agree, the old man might resort to more tricks, and he found it bothersome.
Moreover, he and He Jingyao were now comrades on the same boat. Tomorrow evening, he could at least act as her bodyguard for the night.
“Good, very good.”
“Yaoyao, remember to take Xiao Fei to buy a suit.”
After giving his instructions, the old man directly went out for a stroll with his bodyguards.
Ever since Ye Fei gave him acupuncture last time, his health had completely recovered.
As a result, he ate well and walked with vigor, showing no signs of being a man in his seventies.
Time flew by, and it was already the next morning.
Since they were attending Uncle Shi’s fiftieth birthday banquet in the evening, the entire family was present today.
“Ye Fei, it’s getting late. I’ll take you to buy a well-fitting suit first.”
He Jingyao frowned when she saw Ye Fei still dressed in his flamboyant attire.
This attire was indeed unsuitable for a banquet.
He Jingyao directly took Ye Fei to Jiangcheng’s most upscale department store.
Ye Fei’s jeweled outfit looked even more peculiar in this high-end mall.
Everyone’s gaze was drawn to Ye Fei.
Especially the gems, which sparkled brilliantly under the lights.
However, everyone did not believe that the gems were real, thinking it was merely to attract attention.
“Ye Fei, we’re here.”
“See if there’s anything you like?”
“Don’t worry, I’ll pay!”
Fearing that Ye Fei might be short on cash, He Jingyao said directly.
“Then this young master will pick something out.”
Ye Fei thought of the string of numbers on his bank card and instantly felt the desire to spend.
The two greeters at the entrance, upon seeing Ye Fei’s dazzling, eye-catching gemstones, quickly recovered their smiles after a moment of bewilderment and led the two into the store.
“Sir, are you looking to buy a suit?”
“All the suits in our store are hand-stitched.”
He Jingyao continued.
“Ye Fei, quickly see if there’s anything you like.”
Ye Fei had a great physique, so any suit would suit him.
Thus, Ye Fei casually pointed to one of the suits and said,
“This one!”
When Ye Fei came out after trying on the suit, everyone, including the store employees, was stunned.
Ye Fei was undeniably handsome.
However, due to his previous flamboyant attire, people had focused on his clothes, overlooking his striking features.
Now, wearing the sleek, black suit, his entire image was instantly highlighted.
Peerless in his elegance.
Nothing more, nothing less.
“So handsome!”
Even the store employee, who had been shocked by Ye Fei earlier, exclaimed in admiration.
It was the first time He Jingyao had seen Ye Fei dressed like this. Her previously calm heart felt as if a stone had been dropped into it, creating ripples.
A faint blush appeared on her usually serene face.
“What do you think, am I handsome?”
Ye Fei said proudly.
After all, he was very confident in his appearance.
As soon as Ye Fei spoke, his princely aura was instantly broken.
He Jingyao didn’t want to hear Ye Fei boasting, so she quickly went to the cashier to pay.
“Sir, madam, have a good day!”
Ye Fei, carrying the suit, matching leather shoes, and tie, said to He Jingyao.
“Since you’ve given me a suit, I must reciprocate.”
“Come, let’s quickly go to the store you frequent!”
Ye Fei directly pushed He Jingyao towards the store she often visited.
“Ye Fei, listen to me, you really don’t need to!”
“I don’t need you to reciprocate.”
“I’ll pay for myself later.”
He Jingyao did not know Ye Fei’s true situation. She thought he was just a poor boy with little money, so she was afraid of hurting his pride.
“Don’t worry, this young master isn’t one to brag. I’m telling you, buy whatever you like with confidence. This young master has plenty of money!”
“Money is just a number to this young master!”
With no other choice, He Jingyao went to her usual store, intending to select a relatively inexpensive item.
“Miss He, welcome!”
The woman in a beautiful uniform at the entrance greeted He Jingyao and Ye Fei with a smile.
“Miss He, we’ve just received a new batch of products. Since you’re here early, would you like me to introduce them to you?”
He Jingyao was a regular customer, so most of the store employees knew her.
“Have her try on this dress.”
Since no one was attending to Ye Fei, he began to wander around the store.
