Chapter 2737: Chapter 20: At Least Three Times You’ve Roasted Me Since Yesterday

"Ye Rongyue!" Yun Yi’s lips curved as he pulled her a little closer. "From yesterday to today you’ve roasted me at least three times! Remember this: do it again and I’ll ship you off to Mars!"

Yun Yi thought, you really don’t know the cost of firewood and rice until you run the household yourself. Building one of those things cost a billion and took five years. After sinking so much time into it, of course he’d rather not wreck it if he could help it.

"Mars, what star is that?" Ye Rongyue blinked twice. She still knew way too little about this world; half the things people said she couldn’t even understand.

Seeing her completely baffled, long lashes fluttering, skin so delicate it looked like you could squeeze water out of it—she really was a beauty, even more stunning than the number-one beauty rumored around Capital City. She was only seventeen or eighteen now; once she was a bit older, who knew how many people she’d dazzle.

He figured he must be a visual creature, because right now he couldn’t help wanting to kiss her—even though she was still just a little girl!

Ye Rongyue just watched as his head dipped a bit lower, and lower...

When their noses were about to touch, Ye Rongyue struck without hesitation, stomping hard on his foot. She ground out through clenched teeth, "I knew you were a beast. This young lady isn’t even eighteen yet, which means I’m still underage here. If you dare lay a finger on me, believe it or not, I’ll make sure you don’t live to see the sun tomorrow?"

"Hiss..."

Pain shot up, but Yun Yi wasn’t angry. He calmly reminded her, "If you twist any harder, my toe might snap. Then the blood won’t stop, and your time machine home might just..."

Before he finished, Ye Rongyue moved her foot away.

"Uh, are you okay? Hurry up and see if it’s hurt."

She was so anxious she practically wanted to rip off Yun Yi’s shoe and check it herself.

Yun Yi shook his head. Her face-changing speed was really something.

"From now on, quit putting your hands and feet on me."

Looking at his back, Ye Rongyue gave a profound little smile. This lady will put up with you for now. Once we’re on my turf, if I don’t send you to the palace to clean toilets, I’ll be letting myself down.

In a villa in Capital City, a man in a wheelchair stared coldly at the two men kneeling on the floor. Their blood had flowed all the way to his feet, but he hadn’t even blinked.

"Idiots. You didn’t get the item, you didn’t catch the man—what use are you?"

"Young Master Lu, I’m sorry, I was incompetent... We should’ve been able to nab Yun Yi, we just didn’t expect our car to suddenly blow a tire. After we hijacked two cars, we lost their trail on the road, and the surveillance footage was wiped. We couldn’t track his location."

"Ha... You’re killing me here. A blown tire?" Young Master Lu rolled his wheelchair up to him, pressing a gun to the man’s forehead. "Every inch of our cars is put through top-tier testing. Unless it’s a special round, bullets can’t penetrate them. And now you’re telling me the tire blew?"

"Young Master Lu, the tire really did blow!" The underling shook so hard he was practically shivering. "It was a woman who did it."

"A woman?"

"Yes!"

"She stuck her hand out the car window. We didn’t even see how she moved—next thing we knew, the tire exploded. When we got out to check, we dug a bullet out from inside."

"Bring me the bullet."

A moment later, they brought it over. Young Master Lu took it and saw it was just an ordinary round; there was no way a bullet like this could pierce their tire.

"Do you have a photo of that woman?"

The assistant bowed his head. "Young Master Lu, we’re looking into it now."

Young Master Lu nodded. When his gaze fell on He Mingzhang, who was still kneeling, something flashed through his mind.

"He Mingzhang, you were caught because of a woman too, weren’t you?"
