As soon as Lu Lichen finished speaking, the bathroom door was opened from the inside.

Ye Xiaoxia was wearing a conservative pajamas and her long hair was tied behind her head. There seemed to be water droplets on her body and her face was flushed red. Her skin was fair.

At this moment, she was looking at him with a pair of slightly panicked eyes.

Ye Xiaoxia was just about to say something when she saw Lu Lichen holding a phone in his hand. He was making a phone call and she quickly covered her mouth.

When Ye Xiaoxia was taking a shower inside, she intermittently heard someone talking outside. She was anxious and turned off the water. After roughly wiping the water on her body twice, she put on her pajamas.

When she came out and saw Lu Lichen, she was glad that she chose to wear a conservative set of pajamas.

"Is there anyone on your side?"

Lu Xiuyan was about to tell Lu Lichen Ye Xiaoxia's name when he suddenly heard the other side become silent. It was as if there was a very soft female voice coming over. It was a little vague.

Lu Xiuyan knew that his uncle was not close to women. Lu Lichen was almost thirty, and he was not married nor had a girlfriend. His family had urged him many times, but it was useless.

However, Lu Xiuyan could tell from the voice just now. It was definitely a woman.

Lu Lichen's gaze was still fixed on Ye Xiaoxia. His eyes were fiery. "It's your aunt. "

Lu Xiuyan did not know if Lu Lichen did it on purpose. When Lu Lichen said the word "aunt," his voice became a little lower.

Ye Xiaoxia's face immediately turned red. She was not shy. It was just that it was her first time being introduced like this, so she was inevitably at a loss.

When Lu Xiuyan heard this, he was first stunned. Then he smiled. "Do I know her? Did you bring her back home to show it to my grandparents?"

"You don't know her. I haven't brought her back yet. " He answered.

Ye Xiaoxia listened to his answer. She did not know whether she should go back to bed to sleep or stand where she was and wait for Lu Lichen to finish listening to the phone call.

"Then wait for me to come back and let me see Auntie. " Although Lu Xiuyan's life was not good, he was relieved when he heard that Lu Lichen finally had a girlfriend.

"Okay. "

"I will hang up now. You can continue with your work. " At the end of his sentence, Lu Xiuyan's smile became somewhat ambiguous.

Lu Lichen hung up the phone. He looked up. Ye Xiaoxia was still standing in front of the bathroom door. She seemed to be at a loss.

When Lu Lichen saw her like this, the anger he had accumulated in his heart suddenly disappeared.

"You are so late and you still do not sleep. Do you want to stand all night?" He said faintly.

Ye Xiaoxia bit her lips, "I will go to another room to sleep. "

This was Lu Lichen's room. When Lu Lichen returned, she could not ask him to sleep in another room, so she had to speak first.

However, when Lu Lichen heard this, his face darkened. "You can either stand for the whole night, or come over and sleep. Choose yourself. "

She actually dared to despise him?

Why didn't she resist last night?

A trace of pain flashed across Ye Xiaoxia's face. Ever since she went to the Civil Affairs Bureau with him to get married, she should have accepted this kind of thing.

In the end, she gritted her teeth and walked towards the big bed. She laid on the bed and did not move again.

Although she was still stubborn, she still gave in. He didn't care how unwilling she was. In any case, she just had to listen to him obediently.

Lu Lichen stood up from the sofa in satisfaction. He walked to the wardrobe, took his pajamas, and went into the bathroom.

About 20 minutes later, the bathroom door opened and the deep footsteps slowly approached the bed.

Ye Xiaoxia's tightly shut eyes trembled slightly and her body gradually became stiff.

Ye Xiaoxia was very afraid that Lu Lichen would do something to her. If Lu Lichen really wanted her to do something, she realized that she actually could not resist.

Her strength was not as great as Lu Lichen's, and this was also her responsibility.

Ye Xiaoxia's entire body was tense. She felt the bed beside her collapse slightly, and then a strange aura enveloped her petite body. There was even a heavy arm that was gently resting on her waist. Lu Lichen very skillfully pulled her into his embrace.

Lu Lichen's movements were so natural, but Ye Xiaoxia was so nervous that her entire body was trembling.

"Don't be afraid. "

His warm breath sounded behind Ye Xiaoxia's ears. His magnetic voice seemed to give her an invisible comfort.

Just when Ye Xiaoxia thought that he was going to make another move, he hugged Ye Xiaoxia and did not move. He fell asleep.

Ye Xiaoxia did not even dare to move in his arms. She was afraid that her actions would arouse Lu Lichen's desire.

The night of fear passed just like that. Ye Xiaoxia also fell into a deep sleep in the later half of the night. She finally confirmed that Lu Lichen would not do anything to her tonight.

However, after Ye Xiaoxia's steady breathing came, the man behind her opened his dark eyes.

Lu Lichen was hugging a beauty. If he could sleep like this. . . That meant he wasn't a man.

It was not that Lu Lichen had never thought of raping her, but he was afraid that Ye Xiaoxia would look down on him after he was done with it.

He had felt it when he hugged her today. She was still very reluctant to get close to him, but this was also very normal on her.

After all, she had just experienced a change in her family, and she had also experienced what happened last night. This kind of reaction was very normal.

Ye Xiaoxia had applied for leave from the company, so she would not go to the Global Times before her father's matter was settled.

She originally thought that it would be a while before she could retrieve her father's body. She did not expect that Lawyer Wang would call her the next day to inform her that she could go to the funeral parlor.

Ye Xiaoxia was stunned for a moment, then immediately hung up the phone and rushed to the funeral home.

The matter seemed to have gone a little too smoothly. She had heard Lawyer Wang mention before that her father had a special status, so this matter would definitely drag on for a long time. But she did not expect that she would be able to let her father be buried first on the second day.

Ye Xiaoxia rushed to the funeral parlor to see Lawyer Wang and raised her doubts.

"Didn't you say you needed time? Why is it so fast?"

"I heard that there's a big shot at the top who helped. " Lawyer Wang was not too sure about the details. He had only heard about it that way. However, it was also a good thing that Ye Ming Sheng was brought back so early.

Ye Xiaoxia was surprised in her heart.

At this time, why would there be a big shot willing to help Ye Jia?

But just as Ye Xiaoxia was unable to figure it out, a man's face suddenly flashed across her mind and her heart skipped a beat.

Could it be Lu Lichen?

In A City, Young Master Lu's authority was even greater than the mayor's. Now that Ye Ming Sheng had fallen, there were many people who wanted to fight for benefits. Ye Xiaoxia did not expect anyone to help.

Lu Lichen was the only one who could withstand the pressure from officials below the mayor and other wealthy families.

Before they got married yesterday, Lu Lichen said that he would help her. She did not expect Lu Lichen to be telling the truth.
