“That is up to you. You can marry whoever you like, but you’d be lucky to marry someone as pretty as Mai Ya.”

When Qie Yiyan heard what Ye Tianxin said, he decided against it and tried to laugh it off. “I’m just kidding.”

The failed marriage of his parents had left a bad taste in Qie Yiyan’s mouth.

Once, he longed to be married.

He used to dream about getting married, but now he was warier about it than anyone else.

He was just like his father.

He was afraid he would follow in his father’s footsteps.

After all, Qie Wang’s blood was flowing in his body.

Perhaps, he had also inherited Qie Wang’s coldness.

“Well, I’d bring harm to innocent, young girls.”

When Qie Wang brought Mai Ya home, it was announced to outsiders that she was Qie Yiyan’s fiancee.

Qie Yiyan’s grandparents had taken a liking to the angelic-looking young girl.

As Qie Wang and Yan Shanyue’s marriage ended badly, the two old folks were also worried that their grandson’s marriage might not work too.

Just then, Qie Yiyan’s phone rang. On seeing Mai Ya’s name on the screen, Ye Tianxin flashed a knowing smile.

“Yiyan, when are you coming home? Whoever came back, can you please buy me a piece of cake?”

Mai Ya’s soft and sweet voice could be heard at the other end of the phone.

Ye Tianxin’s eyes twinkled.

“Did you finish all the homework I gave you today?”

“Yes, I’ve been really good. I finished all my homework. You can check them when you get home later.”

“Good.”

It was a pity Qie Yiyan did not have a mirror with him. Otherwise, he could see for himself the soft and tender look on his face when he was talking to Mai Ya.

Ye Tianxin thought to herself, perhaps, there was a love waiting for everyone in this world.

Love might not come early, but it wouldn’t come late, either.

True love would descend on a person quietly when they least expected it.

Ye Tianxin then bade Qie Yiyan farewell and left.

When Guan Chenxi saw Ye Tianxin come out of the room, she reported to her. “Tianxin, Mr. Gu called you just now.”

Ye Tianxin was clueless as to who Mr. Gu was.

“Which Mr. Gu?”

“Gu Yancheng from Gu Enterprises.”

Ye Tianxin then realized who the caller was. “What did he say?”

“He said that he is going to prepare a special birthday gift for you.”

Ye Tianxin burst out laughing.

She did not fancy any birthday present at this moment.

Gu Yancheng had better not try anything funny.

Otherwise, she would not be able to tolerate him and his tricks anymore.

“Just ignore him.”

Ye Tianxin then added, “He is a little crazy.”

The two strolled to the parking lot.

Just as they were near the car, they saw Shangguan Ling get out of his car. He was walking toward them.

Shangguan Ling was wearing a military uniform, looking formal and imposing.

“Tianxin.”

Ye Tianxin stopped in her tracks and looked at Shangguan Ling.

“Hey, Shangguan Ling, what are you doing here? What’s the matter?”

Shangguan Ling nodded, “It’s about the matter you found out at Watertown the last time. It’s related to our district. I’m here to find out more. What about you? What are you doing here, looking for Qie Yiyan? You can come to me directly if there is anything.”

“Oh no, I am here also because of my trip to Watertown. We rescued a young girl there. She’s a special case.”

Shangguan Ling let out a soft laugh when he heard that.

“Tianxin, you are also a young girl to me. I heard that Qie Yiyan is trying to recruit you. If you are thinking about joining the army, do you want to consider coming to my district? We could use a pretty young lady like you in my team.”
