“Punk, I haven’t been able to find you, but I finally found you here today. Bad luck,” the speaker seethed, as if he had caught a longtime enemy.

Ye Mo recognized him: Qing Xun from Hua University. He seemed quite resentful, likely viewing Ye Mo as a rival.

“Brother Xun, who’s this punk?” a youth with dyed yellow hair approached from behind Qing Xun, a girl under twenty in his arms.

Qing Xun, without turning, casually said, “This is the guy who stole Yangqing away. I didn’t expect to meet him here. Chi Bing, call some people. I’m going to beat him until his dad doesn’t recognize him.”

“But Brother Xun, what about Yangqing?” the yellow-haired youth asked.

Qing Xun glanced subconsciously at the bar and said, “Next time. Since I have one chance, I’ll have another. But since we met him today, we can’t let him escape.”

Ye Mo sneered, ignoring Qing Xun. He carried Tingting and walked toward the bar.

“You want to die?” Qing Xun, enraged by Ye Mo’s arrogance, lunged at him, attempting to subdue him. He couldn’t fight on the streets, but he wouldn’t let Ye Mo get away.

“Qing Xun, what are you doing?” Zhuo Yangqing and another girl appeared at the bar’s entrance, witnessing Qing Xun’s attack. Seeing Ye Mo, Yangqing was overjoyed.

She’d called him countless times after he left, unable to reach him. She’d even thought he’d lied, but her cousin, Zhuo Huatang, had indeed recovered.

As soon as Qing Xun heard Zhuo Yangqing, a powerful blow struck his chest. He flew several meters, crashing into a trash can.

Chi Bing stared at Ye Mo in shock, forgetting to help Qing Xun. He hadn’t expected Ye Mo to be so strong. Even if he called for backup, what could they do?

“Get lost, or I’ll kick you again!” Ye Mo yelled at the yellow-haired youth. Chi Bing quickly rushed to Qing Xun, adding as he left, “You dared attack Qing Xun, you’re dead.”

Zhuo Yangqing rushed in front of Ye Mo, equally shocked by his kick.

Ye Mo noticed the girl beside Zhuo Yangqing. As beautiful as Zhuo Yangqing, her delicate expression made her even more attractive. Her large, innocent eyes were disarming. One couldn’t help but like her.

Zhuo Yangqing, realizing Ye Mo’s strength, was excited. He was not only a medical master but a martial artist as well. Grabbing Ye Mo, she exclaimed, “Doctor Ye, I didn’t think you were so strong! Qing Xun is in our school’s martial arts association.”

She soon realized Ye Mo’s attention was on her companion, pouting, “Hey, uncle, don’t look at her like that. She’s the prettiest girl in school. Don’t even think about it; don’t forget you’re an old man.”

Zhuo Yangqing had abruptly downgraded Ye Mo from doctor to uncle, dissatisfied that he’d ignored her greeting.

Hearing this, the girl, Shuangshuang, shyly said, “Hello, senior. I’m Yangqing’s classmate, Nie Shuangshuang.”

Ye Mo felt a sudden chill. His spirit sense detected shrewdness in Nie Shuangshuang’s gaze at his kick; she wasn’t as shy as she appeared. Something about her felt cold. His spirit sense was correct.

Nie Shuangshuang wasn’t simple; she was unsettling.

“You’re Nie Shuangshuang? Do you live in Beijing?” Ye Mo’s questions annoyed Zhuo Yangqing. He seemed genuinely interested in Nie Shuangshuang, unlike their first meeting. Nie Shuangshuang lowered her head anxiously, unaware of Ye Mo’s spirit sense, her expression completely visible to him.

Zhuo Yangqing interrupted, “Uncle Ye Mo, stop asking. Shuangshuang lives with her aunt and doesn’t like talking. If you want to know something, ask me. But don’t chase Shuangshuang; she’s had misfortunes and is scared of guys.”

Ye Mo nodded, though he knew she was wrong. His spirit sense detected a strong attraction to the opposite sex; she wasn’t shy, but quite lustful.

He didn’t understand why Zhuo Yangqing associated with her, but it wasn’t his concern, as long as she wasn’t harmed.

However, Shuangshuang secretly studied Ye Mo, her eyes catching his. Her face flushed.

Zhuo Yangqing also saw this, annoyed that the two were ignoring her. Was she that unattractive?

Ye Mo decided to ask his sister about her. If she knew her, she’d tell her to stay away. This woman wasn’t someone to trifle with.

He wanted to warn Zhuo Yangqing but hesitated, seeing her expression. He casually said, “I have business at the bar. Have fun.”

“Wait, we’re going too. It’s rare Shuangshuang wants a drink, so I’m going with her,” Zhuo Yangqing immediately said.

She looked at Tingting in Ye Mo’s arms, asking, “Brother Ye, she’s cute. Who is she?”

Ye Mo was amused; Zhuo Yangqing had addressed him three different ways in a short time.

He remembered Chi Bing’s words. Chi Bing and Qing Xun knew Zhuo Yangqing was coming. How?

He casually asked, “Qing er, your uncle’s my friend, and you’re still in school. Coming to a bar, especially so far from school, isn’t a good idea.”

“Pfft, Uncle, Brother Ye, how much older are you? Stop talking to me like that. Shuangshuang wanted a drink, not me. She likes it here, so we came,” Zhuo Yangqing said nonchalantly. “The recipe you gave us, my aunt prepared it. Can you come back with us today?”

Nie Shuangshuang tugged at Zhuo Yangqing’s clothes, but she continued, “What are you scared of? We’re adults; we’re just having drinks.”

Ye Mo looked at Nie Shuangshuang again, realizing it was because of her. Zhuo Yangqing was being manipulated. This girl was naive, and Nie Shuangshuang insidious.

“In that case, let’s drink together. My treat,” Ye Mo said. He wanted to help Zhuo Yangqing because of her uncle, Zhuo Aiguo, a good man who cared for her.

“But Yangqing, I think Brother Ye’s right… I won’t go,” Nie Shuangshuang said, secretly looking at Ye Mo. Her eyes were flushed, maintaining her innocent façade.

“Shuangshuang, you’re so pretty, no wonder Uncle Ye is interested,” Zhuo Yangqing observed.

“Yangqing, don’t say that. I’m going back. You must have things to do with Brother Ye. I won’t disturb you. Goodbye,” Nie Shuangshuang said, looking at Ye Mo before producing a small pink card and handing it to him. “Brother Ye, this is my number.”

Her voice was soft; she didn’t even say goodbye to Zhuo Yangqing and ran off, her face flushed.

Ye Mo looked at the card and shook his head. A normal person might call her, but she’d chosen the wrong person.

Zhuo Yangqing said strangely, “Shuangshuang… this girl… is being flirtatious today. I’ve never seen her give her number to someone without being asked.”

Ye Mo sneered. Never? Would she have made such a card and kept it handy if it were true? It was obviously planned.
