"Hao!" Fang Ni saw Ye Hao come in and patted the spot next to her on the bed, inviting him to lie down.
Ye Hao walked over and then lay down beside her.
As soon as Ye Hao lay down, Fang Ni hugged him. Her thin nightgown felt silky smooth, very soft, and comfortable—this was Ye Hao's first impression.
Ye Hao knew Fang Ni wouldn't want anything from him until he reached the Innate Realm, so he asked without worry, "What's wrong?"
Fang Ni pinched the flesh on Ye Hao's waist and snorted, "You're asking me what's wrong? You better watch out for that Lei Ting you brought here; I don't want another sister."
Ye Hao turned around and hugged Fang Ni, smiling, "Silly, don't you know what kind of person I am? Having you guys is enough, really."
"I know that's how you feel, but the world is unpredictable. If something is destined, I think you might not be able to refuse it, so we just want you to consider us more." Fang Ni sighed.
"Okay, I'll be careful." Ye Hao nodded and then gave Fang Ni a kiss.
After that, the two of them drifted off to sleep holding each other.
The next day, Ye Hao got up early for his morning exercise. Originally, he was supposed to go for military training today, but after seeing the two women complain, he got them a day off, and it just so happened that he could visit Jin Buhuan.
While Ye Hao was exercising, the Nanling Martial Fool also got up for his workout. Unlike Ye Hao, the Nanling Martial Fool followed a more vigorous routine.
Ye Hao's morning exercise mainly consisted of practicing Tai Chi, adjusting his body's balance.
"Boss, up so early?" The Nanling Martial Fool, having slept soundly at the Dragon and Phoenix Castle, was full of energy and in high spirits in the morning.
"Haha, good morning, Martial Fool. I need you to come with me somewhere later," Ye Hao said.
"Where to?" the Nanling Martial Fool asked.
"You'll find out when we get there, but don't speak once we're there, just follow along," Ye Hao chuckled.
"Okay." The Nanling Martial Fool nodded. He wasn't fond of talking anyway, so not having to speak was ideal.
Just then, the mother of the Nanling Martial Fool came out, smiling, "Mr. Ye..."
"Auntie, just call me Hao. Mr. Ye is too formal," Ye Hao replied warmly.
"Alright, I'll take the liberty of calling you Hao then," Zhao Yueyue smiled.
"No problem, it makes us feel more like family." Ye Hao smiled.
"Where are you taking the Martial Fool today?" Zhao Yueyue was worried that Ye Hao's business dealings might not be clean or the money earned had questionable origins, so she wanted to see where Ye Hao was taking the Nanling Martial Fool to prevent her son from being led astray.
"I've arranged to meet President Jin from the Jin Group at the Yating Club for a business discussion today. The Martial Fool is new, so I'm taking him around to learn a few things," Ye Hao explained, to ease Zhao Yueyue's concerns.
"Oh, I see! Then I appreciate the trouble you're going to for him, Hao," Zhao Yueyue felt relieved after hearing Ye Hao's explanation.
"We're family; nothing is too much trouble."
Zhao Yueyue nodded with a smile and then went to the kitchen to see if she could help with anything.
Ye Hao was pleased to see Zhao Yueyue fitting into the family, especially since they currently lacked someone to cook meals.
Around seven o'clock, Ye Hao had breakfast with Qin Xiweng and others. Zheng Guang asked, "Young Master, should I come along today?"
"Elder Zheng, you can stay home today. I heard Zheng Shuang is coming over, so spend some time with your grandson. I'll try to come back early," Ye Hao smiled.
Hearing Ye Hao's consideration, Zheng Guang was moved to tears. He felt that following this young master had not been in vain.
"Thank you, Young Master. We'll be waiting for you at home," Zheng Guang nodded.
Ye Hao nodded, then left with Qin Xiweng, Shangguan Longyi, and the Nanling Martial Fool.
Shangguan Longyi drove, while the Nanling Martial Fool sat in the passenger seat, and Ye Hao and Qin Xiweng discussed matters in the back.
There was something Ye Hao was a bit puzzled about. Qin Xiweng mentioned that someone seemed to be causing trouble at the Peng City casino, but those people were discreet about it. Qin Xiweng suspected that these people, scattered across various casinos in Peng City, just wanted to disrupt the business of the grand casino without publicly targeting it, which was what puzzled Ye Hao.
Could it be that this force didn't mean to offend the grand clan but was just putting on a show for others?
"It seems someone wants to target us, but this person doesn't want to confront us publicly or is just putting on a show for some people. Have your men keep an eye on the situation, and we'll act when they escalate. After all, in the casino business, you win some, you lose some. We can't shut down or suppress others just because someone makes a move against us," Ye Hao said, smiling.
"Alright, but I have a feeling these people are connected to Macau," Qin Xiweng shared his speculation.
"Haha, speculating too much is useless. We'll trouble them once they show their faces. Let them cough up whatever they've taken," Ye Hao smiled.
Shangguan Longyi, listening to Ye Hao while driving, became intrigued and said, "Hao, take me along when the time comes! I want to experience it too."
Ye Hao smiled and nodded, "Sure, we'll go together then!"
"Alright," Shangguan Longyi said as he drove seriously to the Yating Club.
The Yating Club, a very elegant name, was famous in Yanjing, Huaxia, and even more famous was its owner. The owner of the club was around the same age as Ye Hao and his group, but she built the Yating Club from scratch, making it stand out among the many clubs in Yanjing, becoming one of the top clubs there.
Yating, a very elegant and pleasant name, was also the name of the club's owner.
Her background wasn't widely known, only that she was an incredibly capable woman who in business always walked a tightrope but still managed to make steady profits.
Ye Hao and his group got out of the car and walked in. When Ye Hao saw how luxurious and magnificently decorated the Yating Club was, he turned to Qin Xiweng with a smile and asked, "Xi Wen, do we have such a high-end club in our grand clan?"
"We have one that's ten times weaker," Qin Xiweng said with a wry smile.
As someone who had experienced upscale living, he could immediately tell the difference between the Yating Club and the grand clan's club.
"Haha, maybe we'll open our own high-end club in the future," Ye Hao said, smiling, but he didn't slow down his pace as he walked inside.
After they walked about ten meters into the club, a beautiful hostess asked sweetly with a smile, "Hello gentlemen, are you here to dine or do you have an appointment?"
Before Ye Hao and his companions could answer, the sound of high heels clicking on the floor approached from behind... (To be continued.
