180: Chapter 180 Ye Xueying's Invitation

He had offended him, and still wanted him to let it go?

Wildfire cannot be stamped out entirely; it will rise again with the spring breeze.

Wang Yang understood this principle better than anyone.

He came today just to see what tricks Wang Feng was up to.

He didn't expect to get a free meal, though.

That was an unexpected bonus.

As for whether Wang Feng would go to the Ye family to complain?

He wasn't worried at all.

He specifically brought the peaches today to reduce unnecessary trouble.

Besides, even if she really did complain, would the Ye family believe the words of a criminal's family member?

Old Master Ye was saved by him, and Ye Hongyuan owed him a life.

What could Wang Feng use to fight him?

The elevator doors opened, and Wang Yang walked in, pressing the first floor button.

The elevator descended slowly.

He leaned against the elevator wall, watching himself in the mirrored wall, a slight smile slowly curving his lips.

This trip today was mainly about getting something for free.

Something freely gained, it just tasted better.

...

Wang Yang walked out of the hotel entrance, and the afternoon sun shone directly on him, warm and pleasant.

He stood at the doorway, squinting at the sky.

He took out his phone from his pocket, found Secretary General Cao Yun's number, and dialed it.

It rang twice, then was picked up.

"Xiao Yang? What's up?"

Uncle Cao's voice carried his usual gentleness, and the background was very quiet, indicating he was likely in his office.

Wang Yang walked towards the parking lot, his steps neither fast nor slow.

"Uncle Cao, there's something I'd like to trouble you with."

"Speak. Why be so polite with me?"

Wang Yang opened the car door, sat in the driver's seat, and didn't rush to start the engine.

"Wang Feng, Zhang Shouren's wife, Deputy Director Wang Hao's sworn sister. Could you help me investigate her, to see if she's done anything illicit over the years?"

There was a second of silence on the other end, then Uncle Cao's voice rang out, with a hint of understanding.

"What, she came looking for you?"

Wang Yang leaned back in his seat, a smirk playing on his lips.

"Yes. She came today. She wanted me to let her husband and son go, and even threatened me with the Ye family."

Uncle Cao scoffed.

"Threaten you with the Ye family? She's quite bold to think that."

"So I'd like to ask for your help in sending her in too. A whole family, together and neat, how wonderful would that be?"

Uncle Cao laughed, his laughter echoing from the phone.

"Alright, no problem. I'll have someone investigate. She already had a shadow in Zhang Shouren and Deputy Director Wang Hao's case; if we really investigate, she won't be able to escape."

"Then I'll trouble Uncle Cao."

"No trouble at all. Oh, right, be careful yourself, don't get too close to her. That kind of woman, once you're entangled, it's hard to shake off."

Wang Yang's mouth twitched.

He was already entangled. But he could still shake her off.

"Got it, Uncle Cao. I have my limits."

Wang Yang hung up Uncle Cao's call, placed his phone on the holder, and started the car.

He was in quite a good mood.

Handing Wang Feng's matter over to Uncle Cao for investigation essentially meant it was decided.

A whole family neatly going in to eat the national meal, how wonderful.

He held the steering wheel, wondering whether to go back to Wen Yulan's place or Luo Shiyun's, when his phone rang again.

A WeChat message notification sound.

Wang Yang picked it up and looked, a slow smile curving his lips.

Ye Xueying.

She sent a message, carefully worded, and he could feel the shyness through the screen.

"Brother Wang, are you free today? I bought two movie tickets, but I'm scared to go alone. If you're busy, then never mind."

A pitiful emoji followed.

Wang Yang looked at the message, almost able to imagine her typing it.

Biting her lip, typing and deleting, deleting and typing, finally gathering the courage to send it.

He clicked his tongue inwardly.

This girl's feelings for him were already an open secret.

From the hospital incident, to the walk in the park, and then the kiss, step by step, the timing was almost right.

Today's movie, a horror film in the dark, she would definitely burrow into his arms if she got scared.

If he couldn't seize this opportunity, he wouldn't be Wang Yang.

He smiled, typing a reply.

"I'm free. What movie?"

Ye Xueying replied instantly.

"A horror movie. I've always wanted to see it, but I'm scared to go alone."

"Then why don't you ask your best friend?"

Ye Xueying's side showed "the other party is typing" for a while, and finally sent a message.

"They're all busy."

Wang Yang looked at the message and laughed out loud.

He didn't expose her.

The young girl was thin-skinned; exposing her would make her embarrassed.

"Alright. I'll pick you up. Send me your location."

Ye Xueying immediately sent a location, a crossroads near the Municipal Government compound.

She quickly followed up with another message.

"I'll wait for you here. Drive slowly, no rush."

Wang Yang replied with an OK emoji, turned the steering wheel, and drove in that direction.

While driving, he pondered inwardly.

He needed to seize the opportunity with Ye Xueying.

The mayor's daughter, the Ye family's beloved pearl, and pure and innocent.

Just thinking about it made his heart flutter.

But there was no rush; with a young girl like this, he had to take it slow, and things would naturally fall into place when the time was right.

Today, he would lay the groundwork, letting her burrow into his arms a few more times.

...

The car drove for about twenty minutes, reaching the crossroads Ye Xueying had sent.

From a distance, he saw a figure standing by the roadside, leaning against a street tree, looking down at her phone.

Wang Yang slowed down, pulled over, and rolled down the car window.

"Xueying."

Ye Xueying looked up, saw his car, and her eyes instantly lit up.

She tucked her phone into her coat pocket and jogged over.

As she ran, the hem of her coat fluttered, revealing her calves wrapped in sheer stockings, gleaming delicately in the sunlight.

Wang Yang's gaze fell on her, sweeping over her from top to bottom.

She had clearly dressed up carefully today.

A long, cream-colored woolen coat, loosely tied at the waist.

As she walked, the hem of her coat fluttered, revealing a section of her long, straight legs.

The coat was open, revealing a tight-fitting, lotus-root pink turtleneck sweater underneath, clinging to her body.

It perfectly accentuated the curve of her chest.

Not large, but firm, with the fullness of a young girl.

Below was a dark gray woolen mini-skirt, its hem above her knees.

Her legs were covered in sheer, flesh-colored stockings, thin and transparent, gleaming faintly in the afternoon sun.

It wasn't a shiny glow, but a delicate, moist sheen, like fine porcelain.

On her feet were a pair of brown ankle boots, with low heels, making her walk steady.

Her hair was not tied up, but cascaded over her shoulders, long and straight, with ends slightly curled inwards, making her face appear smaller.

She wore light makeup, finely shaped eyebrows, gentle earthy eyeshadow, and clearly defined eyelashes.

A thin layer of lip gloss, peach-colored, shiny and moist, was applied to her lips.

Wang Yang's gaze lingered on her lips for a moment.

That color, that moistness, made him want to kiss them.

His throat moved.

Ye Xueying ran to the car, bending slightly to look into the window.

Her face was smiling, her eyes bright.

"Brother Wang!"

Her cheeks were slightly flushed when she ran over, whether from the cold or excitement, he couldn't tell.
