"Hey! We might have one more person moving into our house in the future..."
Ye Hao said weakly.
However, his words made the four women all gaze at him simultaneously, as if fearing another woman would move in.
"Who?" They all asked.
"Sigh, it's Luo Yingxue, the daughter of Elder Lightweight Skill Master Luo Piaoxue, the girl who saved me in Tokyo last time." Ye Hao replied, feeling somewhat powerless. Could he refuse? No! Even though Ye Hao currently has some influence, with support from high levels on various fronts, someone as skilled as Luo Piaoxue simply disregards the law's existence.
If Ye Hao refuses Luo Piaoxue's request, he would definitely face trouble, and the severity of this trouble would depend on Luo Piaoxue's mood.
"Is it her?" Lin Ruyu asked with curiosity. She had seen Luo Yingxue before, but they hadn't interacted much, so she wasn't very familiar.
"Yingxue? Could it be the one I know?" Fang Ni inquired.
"Oh? Which Yingxue do you know?" Ye Hao asked Fang Ni, looking at her.
"Once, my father took me to visit a woman called Elder Luo, and Elder Luo had a daughter named Luo Yingxue. We met when we were young, around ten years old, and played well. But as we grew up, we lost contact." Fang Ni reminisced.
"It seems the Elder Luo you mentioned is indeed the Elder Luo you met before, and Luo Yingxue is the same Luo Yingxue you encountered in your youth." Ye Hao pondered, because with the surname Luo, and worthy of being visited by Fang Zhongtian, the coincidence of Elder Luo's daughter being named Luo Yingxue is very rare.
There's no other possibility except that she's the daughter of Luo Piaoxue.
"It's fine if it's her moving in. She was quite quiet back then and didn't like conflicts." Fang Ni said with a smile.
"I don't mind as long as she doesn't overly interfere in our lives." Xia Zhu commented.
"Hehe, one more isn't much, one less isn't little, why not have Ye marry her as a wife too?" Su Qing joked with a giggle, though her gaze remained fixed on Ye Hao, seemingly testing whether he was interested in Luo Yingxue.
Ye Hao waved his hand and said, "Not interested, having you all is enough for me."
"Really?" Lin Ruyu asked with a teasing smile.
"Mwah!"
Ye Hao kissed Lin Ruyu on the cheek, looking at her with deep affection, "Having you all in this lifetime is enough."
"That's more like it." The women all looked at Ye Hao approvingly upon hearing his firm statement.
"Beep beep beep!"
Just as Ye Hao was about to speak, his phone rang suddenly again.
Ye Hao glancing at the caller ID, it was Qin Xiweng calling.
Ye Hao pressed the answer button and asked, "Xi Wen, what's up?"
"Chairman, hehe, sorry to disturb you." Qin Xiweng chuckled from the headquarters in Peng City.
"It's fine, what's the matter?" Ye Hao asked.
"Well, previously, Old Lei's sister, did you plan to set her up at the Elite Club like that?" Qin Xiweng said somewhat incoherently. Although Duke of Thunder had instructed him to send his sister to Peking University for studies, Qin Xiweng was simply too busy, so he could only pass this tricky problem to Ye Hao.
Actually, Qin Xiweng understood Duke of Thunder's intention; Duke of Thunder just wanted him to entrust his sister to Ye Hao for extra care, after all, Lei Ting would be unfamiliar in the mainland, and without someone familiar to look after her, Duke of Thunder would be worried.
"What did his sister say?" Ye Hao felt troubled. Was his villa going to become a refuge for troubled people?
"He said he wants to be with God..." Qin Xiweng reported honestly, knowing full well who God was—that was merely the name Ye Hao used to divert attention.
"My goodness, can't you let her go study at Peking University? I'll occasionally check in on her when I'm free." Ye Hao asked.
"Well, realistically, I cannot. Chairman, you know, I'm about to take over the Gold Stock Market, and the monopoly over the entire market is about to start, plus the various research projects at Elite HQ are now underway, and funds need to be mobilized..." Qin Xiweng listed off.
Ye Hao interrupted, "Stop, Xi Wen, you came prepared, didn't you? Already figured out what to say?"
"Ah… wouldn't dare. I was just tasked by Duke of Thunder to talk to you! After all, Chairman, you're at Peking University, isn't it convenient to look after her occasionally? Otherwise, Duke of Thunder would be uneasy, right?" Qin Xiweng replied with a chuckle.
"Alright, looks like I've got no choice, my place is becoming the Elite refuge center. Fine! Handle her enrollment, and I'll deal with her other living needs." Ye Hao relented helplessly.
"Sure, I'll have her enrollment arranged right away, Chairman, I'll leave it to you." Qin Xiweng hurriedly hung up, leaving Ye Hao with no room to refuse.
After Ye Hao hung up, the women all stared at Ye Hao with a hint of displeasure in their eyes.
"What now?" Ye Hao asked, looking at them.
"Who was Qin Xiweng talking about just now?" Lin Ruyu and the others didn't know about Lei Ting's existence, as Ye Hao just went straight to accompany them after returning. As for Lei Ting, she was handed over to Qin Xiweng to arrange.
"Oh, Duke of Thunder's sister, Lei Ting, she wants to study in the mainland. Her brother has her under house arrest on Treasure Island..." Ye Hao explained.
"Hmph, and what does her studying have to do with you?" Su Qing huffed.
"Well, she's Duke of Thunder's sister, and Duke of Thunder is my buddy, so just helping each other out!" Ye Hao replied awkwardly.
"We're becoming a refuge center." Lin Ruyu said resentfully.
"Haha, young master, young madam, we can completely separate living spaces here; Dragon and Phoenix Castle is divided into east and west sides, with you living in the east, and Sun Mei and I in the west. Additionally, there are many rooms on the west side, making it convenient for them to move in later." Zheng Guang said, assisting Ye Hao in resolving the situation.
"Alright! Seems there's no other way. Who knew our Master Ye had such charm? Beauties willingly flock to him?" Lin Ruyu said, standing up, throwing a pillow at Ye Hao, and heading upstairs.
"Hmph, Ye isn't a good person." Su Qing tossed a pillow at Ye Hao as well.
Xia Zhu gave Ye Hao a comforting look and went upstairs too.
Seeing this, Fang Ni discreetly approached Ye Hao's ear to speak.
Ye Hao leaned towards her and asked, "What's up?"
Fang Ni's lips moved slightly, but no sound came out.
"What?" Ye Hao couldn't hear, so he asked again.
"Handle it yourself..." Fang Ni said before heading upstairs.
Among the four women, only Lin Ruyu and Su Qing shared a room, while Xia Zhu and Fang Ni had separate rooms.
Feeling helpless, Ye Hao placed the pillow on the sofa and told Zheng Guang, "Elder Zheng, can you handle the paperwork for Luo Yingxue and Lei Ting? I'll go take a rest for a while..."
