Top Grade Pure Beauty CEO

Just after dropping Lan Cai off at the company building, Li Xiaoyao received a call from Ye Qinglian.

Li Xiaoyao cut off the call and said to Lan Cai, "I'll pick you up after work tonight."

Lan Cai wanted to refuse, but Li Xiaoyao said, "I am your highly-paid personal bodyguard, so not being able to stay by your side 24 hours a day is already a dereliction of duty. If you even refuse to let me pick you up after work, then wouldn't I be stripped of my last bit of dignity?"

Lan Cai couldn't win the argument and, shaking her head with a bitter smile, said, "Fine, come pick me up after work."

It was only then that Li Xiaoyao cracked a smile, lifted her hand, and kissed the back of it. "At your service, my Princess."

Lan Cai's cheeks reddened, and she threw him a reproachful look before turning around and getting out of the car.

Li Xiaoyao watched Lan Cai enter the company before taking out his phone that wouldn't stop vibrating.

"Hello." The call had barely connected before Li Xiaoyao could speak, and Ye Qinglian was already firing questions at him like a machine gun.

"Why did you hang up on me? Do you have any idea how many people I've had to talk to for your sake? You jerk, do you think I really want to help you?"

Even through the phone, Li Xiaoyao could hear the anger in Ye Qinglian's voice and her current displeasure.

"I was a bit tied up just now and couldn't answer the call. Isn't it the case that as soon as I was free, I immediately answered? Really sorry about that, truly sorry. I'll take you out to dinner to express my sincerest apologies." Experience told Li Xiaoyao that apologizing and showing humility were the wisest choices in this scenario.

As expected, Ye Qinglian, seeing Li Xiaoyao's sincere attitude, snorted lightly and said, "Fine, I, being magnanimous, won't stoop to your level. Where are you now?"

Li Xiaoyao replied, "Where are you? I'll come to you."

"Fine, then come to the Drum Tower precinct."

Half an hour later, Li Xiaoyao drove to the Drum Tower precinct.

He parked the car in front of the precinct and called Ye Qinglian.

"I'm here."

"Wait a few minutes for me, I'll be right out."

Five minutes later, Ye Qinglian walked out of the precinct wearing an extremely ladylike dress.

Li Xiaoyao saw her through the car window, and his eyes lit up involuntarily.

Li Xiaoyao had seen Ye Qinglian without clothes before, and her sizzling figure was criminally tempting; the only other time he'd seen her dressed was in her pajamas.

But like today, seeing her in a long, elegant dress was a first.

Ye Qinglian shared some similarities with Zhu Xiaoyue in personality; both were police officers with a heart of justice and also straightforward, unable to hide anything in their hearts.

Li Xiaoyao rolled down the window and waved to Ye Qinglian, "Officer Ye, over here."

Following the sound, Ye Qinglian saw a brand-new black Land Rover with Li Xiaoyao in the driver's seat.

Ye Qinglian raised her eyebrows in surprise and said as she walked to the driver's side, "You don't know the place, let me drive."

This woman really didn't treat herself like an outsider.

Li Xiaoyao moved to the passenger seat, and Ye Qinglian started the car, pressing the gas pedal hard, and the car shot out like an arrow from the bow.

Li Xiaoyao asked, "Where are you taking me?"

Ye Qinglian replied, "I've arranged to meet Liang Zhengdao."

"Liang Zhengdao? What do you need to meet him for?"

Ye Qinglian said irritably, "You really are unperturbed, offending Liang Zhengdao and not even being aware of it."

"Offended him?" Li Xiaoyao thought for a moment and roughly guessed what was going on.

Liang Zhengdao's son is attracted to Zhu Xiaoyue, and Zhu Xiaoyue likes herself. Liang Zhengdao is probably angry with me because of this matter, but what right does he have to be upset?

Ye Qinglian sighed and said, "Liang Zhengdao has already proposed a marriage to the Zhu Family, and Xiaoyue will become the Liang Family's daughter-in-law. You're the victim in this matter. When we meet him later, I'll explain it to him."

Li Xiaoyao felt like laughing, realizing that this is why Ye Qinglian had been so anxious to find him these past few days.

Li Xiaoyao didn't speak because he knew Ye Qinglian meant well, and he didn't want to refuse. But when he met Liang Zhengdao later, Li Xiaoyao definitely wouldn't back down. After all, this was an excessive act on the part of the Liang Family.

Zhu Xiaoyue doesn't like Liang Zhengdao's son at all. Should she compromise simply because the Liang Family has a large and influential house?

Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of a high-end private club.

After parking the car, the two walked into the club, where a receptionist approached them with inquiries.

Ye Qinglian gave the name of their private room, and the receptionist led the way.

Ye Qinglian whispered a reminder, "Don't say anything rash later."

Li Xiaoyao hummed noncommittally.

They went upstairs, and Ye Qinglian knocked on the private room door before entering.

In the room sat two men, one old and one young.

The older one was Liang Zhengdao, and the young man was his son, Liang Wenshuo.

As they entered the room, Ye Qinglian's delicate face showed a smile as she said, "Uncle Liang, sorry to have kept you waiting, my apologies, we hit some traffic on the way."

Liang Zhengdao gave Ye Qinglian a warm smile, but a somewhat dirty look flickered in his eyes as he looked at her.

All of this was caught by Li Xiaoyao.

"It seems this old guy is quite lecherous."

Ye Qinglian is young and beautiful with a great figure, and it's normal for any man to have thoughts, but for Liang Zhengdao at his age to still have such desires, it's just disgusting.

"Wenshuo is here too," Ye Qinglian greeted Liang Wenshuo and then introduced Li Xiaoyao, "This is Li Xiaoyao."

Liang Zhengdao looked at Li Xiaoyao but didn't say a word.

Liang Wenshuo looked at Li Xiaoyao with hostile eyes.

Ye Qinglian led Li Xiaoyao to the sofa, about to sit down when Liang Zhengdao, who had been silent, spoke, "Did I say you could sit?"

Ye Qinglian's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly and she managed a smile, "Uncle Liang, today I brought Xiaoyao here mainly to clear up the misunderstanding between you two."

"Misunderstanding?" Liang Zhengdao snorted, "I don't think that was a misunderstanding."

Li Xiaoyao ignored Liang Zhengdao and sat down on the sofa with a flourish, nonchalantly lighting a cigarette, "It seems you have a problem with me?"

Ye Qinglian saw Li Xiaoyao's actions and was startled, pulling him quickly and whispering, "Xiaoyao, don't be rash."

Liang Zhengdao was taken aback for a moment, cold light flashing in his eyes, "Qinglian, today Uncle Liang is giving you face, that's why I am meeting with him. But now it seems he's not showing much respect, is he?"

Ye Qinglian was anxious, "Uncle Liang, you've misunderstood..."

"I haven't misunderstood," Liang Zhengdao stared at Li Xiaoyao, "I can let him off, but I have two conditions."

"First, from today on, you're not allowed to see Zhu Xiaoyue. Second, leave Ling City immediately," Liang Zhengdao said with a disdainful look, "Because I really don't want to see your face. I'm afraid I might not be able to resist dealing with you if I do."

Ye Qinglian's frown tightened, having thought Liang Zhengdao would give her face today, but his demands were so outrageous.

"Are you done?" Li Xiaoyao said indifferently, "What right do you have to speak to me like that? Today, for Qinglian's sake, I'll let you off this once. Now, you can get lost!"
