I'm invincible once I descend the mountain; the beautiful CEO is forcing me to get our marriage

Six p.m.

Ye An returned to Jiangcheng, to Longquan Mansion.

As soon as I opened the door with my key, I saw that Su Wanqing and Qin Ruoxue were both there.

"Ye An, you've finally decided to come back?"

Su Wanqing was holding a few eggs, seemingly preparing to cook dinner.

On the other side, Qin Ruoxue was wearing a brand new apron and was busy doing something in the kitchen, with the sound of stir-frying coming from inside.

Ye An smiled and said, "I had a very fruitful trip to Medicine King Valley."

Su Wanqing glanced at Qin Ruoxue in the kitchen, and, making sure she wouldn't be coming out anytime soon, quietly walked over.

Without saying a word, she stretched out her arms and wrapped them around Ye An's waist.

Then, those sexy red lips came down and kissed me.

Ye An was stunned for a moment, then reacted and instinctively supported Su Wanqing's buttocks with both hands.

Su Wanqing's body went limp immediately.

Just as Ye An was about to carry her into the room, a loud crash came from the kitchen.

Su Wanqing froze, quickly breaking free from Ye An's embrace, her cheeks flushed, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at him.

Qin Ruoxue, wearing an apron, came out of the kitchen and saw Ye An and Su Wanqing there. She rubbed her eyes.

"Ye An, you're back! It's rare to run into you like this. Come and try the new dishes I learned online."

Su Wanqing lowered her head and replied softly, "Okay...okay."

Although she had already accepted Qin Ruoxue's existence in her heart, Su Wanqing was still not ready to do anything with Ye An in front of her.

And...would Ye An want the three of them to be together?

The moment the thought popped into her head, her heart skipped a beat, and she felt a strange thrill.

"Wait for me a moment, it'll be ready in a minute."

Qin Ruoxue said something and then turned and went back to the kitchen.

Half an hour later, the three of them sat at the dining table.

Qin Ruoxue's cooking skills are indeed quite good; several of her home-style dishes were delicious and visually appealing.

Qin Ruoxue looked at Ye An with a smug expression: "How about it? My cooking is pretty good, right? What score would you give it?"

"Ten out of ten," Ye An answered crisply.

"So... do you prefer Su Wanqing's cooking or mine?" Qin Ruoxue asked with a grin, her eyes sparkling.

Upon hearing this question, Su Wanqing, who was standing next to Ye An, also put down her chopsticks and looked at Ye An expectantly.

Although she herself had hardly ever been in the kitchen, at most cooking instant noodles, she still wanted to hear Ye An favor her.

Ye An held the chopsticks until his hands were numb.

He couldn't answer that question.

They didn't want to offend either side.

He was trying to figure out how to change the subject when the doorbell suddenly rang.

Ye An breathed a sigh of relief; the doorbell rang just in time.

He put down his chopsticks, stood up, and strode towards the door amidst the two women's questioning gazes.

"I'll go open the door."

At the dinner table, Su Wanqing and Qin Ruoxue exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of helplessness and amusement in each other's eyes.

The tense atmosphere was thus broken.

The door opened.

Standing outside the door was Master Guan. When he saw Ye An, he immediately bowed, his attitude more respectful than ever before.

"Master Ye," Master Guan said in a low voice, "the Jiang family in Shanghai contacted me. It's Miss Jiang Yu'er. She says it's extremely urgent and hopes you can see her."

Ye An nodded: "Understood."

He closed the door, returned to the dining table, finished his rice in a few bites, and then said to Su Wanqing and Qin Ruoxue, "I'm going out for a bit, I have something to take care of. You two should get some rest."

After saying that, he left without waiting for their response.

Following the directions provided by Master Guan, Ye An arrived at a secluded private dock.

Under the cover of night, a brightly lit and extremely luxurious cruise ship rests quietly on the sea.

There were already men in suits waiting at the dock. Upon seeing Ye An, they immediately and respectfully led him onto the ship.

On the top deck of the cruise ship, the sea breeze was slightly cool.

Jiang Yuer stood there.

She wore a black, form-fitting dress today, which perfectly accentuated her already outstanding figure.

Her long legs were dazzlingly white in the moonlight, and the curves of her buttocks were astonishingly perky.

Upon seeing Ye An, a complex expression appeared on her face, a mixture of gratitude, awe, and a hint of barely concealed nervousness.

"Master Ye, thank you so much." Jiang Yu'er spoke first. "The pills you gave me... my grandfather is completely cured, and his health is even better than before."

Ye An showed no surprise, only a smile.

That Qi-Nourishing Pill is of great benefit even to cultivators at the Innate Realm, so using it to save an ordinary ancient martial artist who hasn't even touched the threshold of the Innate Realm is naturally a piece of cake.

He walked to the ship's railing with his hands behind his back, gazing at the sea in the night, and asked calmly, "And then?"

These three words choked Jiang Yu'er up, leaving her with a long list of thank-you words she had prepared.

"Miss Jiang, I didn't come here to hear your thanks." Ye An turned around, his gaze falling on her face. "I hope you can keep your promise."

The word "promise" was like a needle pricking Jiang Yuer's nerves.

Her face flushed bright red instantly.

In her mind, the image of this man appearing out of nowhere in her room at the Yunzhou Hotel, pinning her to the bed, and slapping her buttocks kept flashing uncontrollably into her mind.

That burning sensation seemed to resurface once again.

"I..." Jiang Yu'er bit her lip, her heart filled with shame, indignation, and embarrassment.

Ultimately, reason prevailed.

She knew that in front of this man, any spoiled princess's temper and pride were a joke.

She lowered her head, her voice hoarse: "I'm sorry, Master Ye, 10 billion... I really can't come up with that."

After saying that, she looked at Ye An nervously, afraid that he would throw her into the sea to feed the fish in a fit of anger.

Seeing that Ye An was just looking at her without saying anything, Jiang Yu'er quickly added:

"But I can offer you something even better! Our Jiang family has an ancestral jade pendant that... it can accelerate the cultivation of ancient martial artists! It's a true treasure! Only the head of each family is qualified to wield it!"

Ye An raised an eyebrow slightly, finally revealing a hint of interest.

"So, what you mean is?"

Jiang Yu'er, as if grasping at a straw, immediately said, "So I want to ask you for help! Help me seize the position of head of the Jiang family! As soon as I become the head of the family, I will personally present that jade pendant to you!"

She looked up, her gaze fixed intently on Ye An; this was a high-stakes gamble.

She bet that Ye An would be tempted by the jade pendant that could accelerate cultivation.

Ye An suddenly laughed.

There was a hint of amusement in his laughter.

"Help you? Miss Jiang, do you think I look easy to fool?" he said slowly. "You're trying to make me work for you by offering something I've never seen before and painting a rosy picture?"

Jiang Yu'er's heart sank.

Looking at Ye An's ambiguous smile, she realized she had oversimplified things.

This man doesn't play by the rules at all.

She clenched her teeth, a resolute look flashing across her face.

Since reasoning and negotiating haven't worked, we'll have to resort to our last resort.

Jiang Yu'er took a deep breath, as if she had made a huge sacrifice.

She reached out and touched the zipper on the back of her dress.

She was prepared to take a gamble, betting that this man, like millions of other men, couldn't resist the advances of a top-tier beauty.
