A door on the second floor opened, and Fang Yuxin walked out from inside. Seeing him, she was visibly surprised for a moment: "Bai Ye? Why are you back now?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Ye felt a bit uncomfortable—wasn’t he supposed to come back now?
However, he explained with his mouth: "While patrolling outside, I encountered a convoy. They’re people from Changhe Base. There are about a thousand of them, the strongest being a Level 4 Peak Gold Element Superpower User, and the weakest is a Second-level Superpower User. They claimed to be here to discuss collaboration, but I found their intentions questionable, so I used some means to intimidate them."
Fang Yuxin smiled, turned her palm over the railing, and landed lightly in front of Bai Ye: "Since you’re back, I suppose you brought those people back too, right?"
Bai Ye nodded: "They have quite a few high-level superpower users, so they must be a medium or large base. Since they’ve come, we can’t just let them leave like that. We have to make them bleed a bit."
Fang Yuxin raised an eyebrow, deliberately showing a dissatisfied expression: "So... you’ve caused my dad quite a bit of trouble. He just started to relax a bit, and now he’s busy again because of you."
Bai Zhengli came from a military background; although he is skilled and capable, when it comes to negotiating collaborations and deals, it requires someone like Fang Jintang who has decades of experience in the marketplace.
Bai Ye had been worried that Fang Yuxin would suspect him because of the Lu Wei incident and drift away because of that troublesome son Bai Qianqian. Seeing her displeasure now, he believed it and became flustered: "Xinxin, I... I didn’t do it on purpose! I just thought that since they were here, we couldn’t just..."
Before he finished, Fang Yuxin’s gentle fingers lightly pressed against his lips. Bai Ye quietly went silent, widening his eyes at the close Fang Yuxin, somewhat unable to process.
However, while his mind hadn’t reacted, his body had already acted first. His tightly closed lips slightly parted, and the soft tip of his tongue sneaked out, gently licking Fang Yuxin’s fingertips.
