It was none other than Qing Ruolan from the Flower Capital, the woman who was Ye Fan’s ex-sister-in-law!
Of course, just yesterday at the Ren Family’s, Qing Ruolan had become Ye Fan’s woman.
The events that unfolded in Cloud City were now known throughout the Southwest, and even across the entire Great Xia.
General Song Pa, the biggest owner of a jade mining field in Myanmar, had actually taken the initiative to reduce his share of the profits and indefinitely handed over all rights to distribute jade within Great Xia to the Qing Family. This meant that within a few years, the Qing Family was bound to become the leading group in the jewelry industry within the Great Xia realm!
With profits guaranteed to be at least in the hundreds of billions, every family wanted a piece of the action.
“Hello, everyone!” Qing Ruolan got out of the car and looked around.
After her intimate relationship with Ye Fan last night, Qing Ruolan felt completely different about him.
When Ye Fan was still considered a fool, Qing Ruolan was worried, heart-sore, indulgent—she wanted to protect and take care of him.
But ever since Ye Fan had regained his senses and risen again, especially after yesterday when she became Ye Fan’s woman under such shy circumstances, she had a strong sense of belonging, and today, Ye Fan filled her thoughts the entire day.
Unfortunately, since Ye Fan had been so busy with many things, there hadn’t been a chance for them to be alone.

Facing those business cards passed to her, Qing Ruolan just instinctively took them in her hand, her mind not even considering looking at them.
“President Qing, are you looking for something? If you tell us, we can help you find it,” said Cai Xin, the Xu family’s head butler, as he respectfully addressed Qing Ruolan.
“I’m looking for my husband, we agreed to meet here and go into the banquet together!” When Qing Ruolan said the word “husband,” a happy smile appeared on her lips.
“Husband? Does President Qing mean Ye Family’s genius, Ye Fan? Is he waiting for you at the entrance?” Cai Xin’s eyelids twitched, feeling a sense of unease, and he couldn’t help but glance behind the crowd.
The young man who had just spoken to him… Cai Xin thought the man had seemed familiar but couldn’t immediately remember who he was. Could it possibly have been Ye Fan?
“Quick! Everyone, make way, don’t hold up President Qing from finding her husband!”
The crowd dispersed automatically, and the figure of Ye Fan, who was standing at the back, immediately appeared in front of Qing Ruolan.
“Xiao Fan!” Seeing Ye Fan, Qing Ruolan excitedly ran over, quickly approaching him without caring about the many people present, and passionately threw herself into Ye Fan’s embrace, whispering, “I missed you so much!”
Feeling the emotion of the beautiful lady in his arms, Ye Fan too was filled with a sense of wonderment.
What virtues or abilities did he have to deserve this?
Even when he was a fool, these incredibly beautiful sisters-in-law were firmly by his side.
Last night, Qing Ruolan, Ren Xueying, and Qiu Wan did not hesitate at all, directly forging that intimate relationship with him.
In this life, no matter what happened, he must protect these sisters-in-law, his women!
“Yes! Sister-in-law, I missed you too!” Ye Fan deliberately slapped Qing Ruolan’s buttocks with his hand and kept calling her “sister-in-law,” which made Qing Ruolan blush.
“Ah! You… you’re terrible… you’re doing it on purpose, we were already like that yesterday, and you still call me sister-in-law… really…” Qing Ruolan couldn’t help but remember the times she spent with Ye Fan when he constantly called her “sister-in-law.”
She wondered from what point did Ye Fan actually start pretending!
She was truly embarrassed to death!
“Oh! What exactly happened last night? Why don’t you tell me about the details, sister-in-law?” Ye Fan, seeing Qing Ruolan’s shy demeanor, smirked mischievously, deliberately teasing her, making her almost wish she could burrow into his chest.
“Humph… you’re really awful, acting all innocent after taking advantage…”
The two of them were flirting with each other without a care for their surroundings!
The dozens of business tycoons and family representatives around them looked at each other in dismay!
They had nearly had their fill of dog food!
Big Brother!
Is there no justice left in the world, with so many people watching us?
“Cough, Young Master Ye… I’m sorry, just now Mr. Cai was ignorant, I have failed to recognize Young Master Ye, please forgive me!” Cai Xin looked at Ye Fan, his face bitter.
What a great opportunity it had been to climb up to the Qing Family!
He had actually failed to recognize Ye Fan and missed such a golden opportunity.
If he couldn’t reach a cooperation with the Qing Family, then the task assigned by the Capital would be unachievable. Sigh!
So, although it was embarrassing, Cai Xin still bowed his head respectfully and apologized to Ye Fan.
“Please forgive me, Young Master Ye!”
Several other family representatives who had been echoing Cai by his side also stepped forward and bowed apologetically to Ye Fan.
They had not at all expected that the Young Master Ye Fan of the renowned and brilliant Ye Family, Ruolan’s husband, had just been standing beside them!
Before, when Ye Fan was still a fool, that was one thing, but now Ye Fan was no longer foolish!
Furthermore, the royal family had explicitly supported the Ye Family in establishing the Grand Tutor Mansion. What a great honor and gesture that was!
“Hehe! Didn’t I say earlier that I was very close to President Qing? Don’t you think I am close to President Qing now?” Meanwhile, Ye Fan hugged Qing Ruolan and deliberately kissed her cheek.
“Close! Of course, close… Young Master Ye, it was our mistake not to recognize the true greatness before us, please forgive us,” said Cai Xin and the other family representatives, all looking frustrated, continuously bowing, “Young Master Ye, could you please help us talk about the possibility of cooperating with the Qing Family?”
Ye Fan glanced at Qing Ruolan in his arms and spoke indifferently, “Opportunities only come once, once missed, they are gone. Your cooperation with the Qing Family will have to be discussed with President Qing later. Ruolan, let’s go inside!”
“Okay!”
Qing Ruolan nestled gently into Ye Fan’s embrace and stepped towards the banquet hall!
A group of people left frustrated at the hotel entrance, shaking their heads, “Sigh! Such close reach to riches and honor, how could we have failed to grasp it?”
“It’s a pity, I don’t even qualify to enter the banquet! Let’s disperse, just disperse!”
As Qing Ruolan, leaning in Ye Fan’s embrace, walked towards the banquet hall, she spoke softly, “Actually, attending this banquet today… Our Qing Family does have a problem to solve… Later we have to transport so many Jade Raw Stones from Myanmar into the country, we must cover the domain of the Southwest Eight Provinces, especially in the Southwest Border Area, where many unforeseen factors may arise… Therefore, we need to find a powerful transport company…”
“We’ve talked to that transport company before, but the terms they offered were way too harsh! Today, we wanted to ask the president of the Flower Capital Chamber of Commerce to come forward and try to adjust the conditions again!”
Ye Fan frowned slightly, “Oh? How harsh were their terms?”
“Divine Eagle Transport Co., Ltd. agreed to transport the Jade Raw Stones for Qing’s Jewelry without any transport fee, but they demanded 50% of our profits!” Qing Ruolan spoke with a hint of helplessness, “50%, that’s the total agency rights. They want to take away 50 billion a year in profits; isn’t that just outright robbery?”
“But our Qing’s Jewelry didn’t have such a large scale before, nor did we have our own transport company. Although my husband helped secure the agency rights from General Song Pa, how to transport the Jade Raw Stones back is still a troublesome matter. Now it seems, if we want to safely transport the Jade Raw Stone from Myanmar to Flower Capital, we have to rely on Divine Eagle Transport Company, because only they have the capability, sigh!”
Hmm?
Upon hearing Qing Ruolan’s words, a fierce look flashed in Ye Fan’s eyes.
This Divine Eagle Transport Company was clearly being deliberately difficult…
In that case, this Young Master would like to see whether it is Prince Jin behind the scenes causing trouble!
