The villainous second male lead at the beginning? No! He's the white moonlight!

Ye Linyuan thought for a moment, then turned to look at Luo Qingyue.

"This is the Luo family's territory. Do you think I should see them, or not...?"

Luo Qingyue couldn't help but roll her eyes at Ye Linyuan and said coquettishly.

"What you're saying hurts us. Didn't you say you wanted 'it all'? Well then, this is your territory too."

Are you sure?

"certainly."

"Alright, butler, let them in."

"Yes, son-in-law."

The butler kept his head down and didn't ask Luo Qingyue, the owner of the house, any more questions.

She knew very well that since her son-in-law arrived, this family had gained a master who was above the master!

After the butler left, Luo Qingxuan frowned and looked at Ye Linyuan suspiciously.

"You filthy scoundrel, you didn't actually have sex with them, so they're coming after you, right?"

Ye Linyuan rolled his eyes at Luo Qingxuan speechlessly.

What kind of lewd talk is this? What do you mean by saying they came looking for them after I raped them...?

"What the hell am I talking about? Believe me or not, I'll fuck you tonight! I've never even seen their faces, and I only just learned their names!"

Upon hearing that Ye Linyuan was going to have sex with her, Luo Qingxuan blushed, but still stubbornly asked.

"If you didn't have sex with them, why are they coming to you?"

Ye Linyuan said irritably.

"How should I know? I'll see when I get there. Anyway, it's definitely not what you think!"

Luo Qingyue, who was standing next to her, was almost laughing herself to death, and said with a light laugh.

"Alright, alright, whether it's your romantic entanglement or not, we'll find out soon enough."

Less than ten minutes later, three young women were led in by the housekeeper.

The leader was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with long hair and wearing a professional suit. She had a capable demeanor. The two behind her were slightly younger, one wearing a white dress and the other a pink suit. Both were rare beauties.

After the three women entered, they first looked at the three Luo sisters and then put down the gifts they were holding.

Then they all bowed to Ye Linyuan.

"Miss Luo, Miss Luo, Miss Luo, we apologize for disturbing you uninvited. This is just a small gift, nothing of value."

Luo Qingyue didn't say anything, but got up and went upstairs. Luo Qingxuan, who was sitting next to her, understood and spoke up.

"Alright, you're not here to find us. The person you're looking for is over here."

Luo Qingxuan pointed to Ye Linyuan, who was drinking tea, and then pulled the reluctant Luo Qingge to follow Luo Qingyue upstairs.

"We'll leave the space to you. The three of us are going to take a nap first. You can chat slowly, but there's one thing: I hope we go back to sleep late. The three of you are no longer in our house. If it weren't for the sake of that scoundrel, the Luo family wouldn't welcome the three of you married women!"

Luo Qingxuan emphasized the phrase "married woman," the meaning of which was self-evident.

As Luo Qingxuan finished speaking, Wu Qianqian from the Wu family, Wang Xiaoya from the Wang family, and Liu Weiyu from the Liu family all looked extremely embarrassed. They exchanged glances and all chose to remain silent.

That's a question I can't answer.

They came to Ye Linyuan prepared to sacrifice themselves.

After the three Luo sisters went upstairs, Ye Linyuan looked up at Wu Qianqian, Wang Xiaoya, and Liu Weiyu, who were sitting restlessly, put down his teacup, and asked in a low voice.

"You're saying you're Qin Lie's fiancées from the Qin family?"

Wu Qianqian quickly replied.

"Yes, Young Master Ye, I am Wu Qianqian from the Wu family, this is Wang Xiaoya from the Wang family, and this is Liu Weiyu from the Liu family. We are indeed Qin Lie's fiancées from the Qin family."

"Since you're Qin Lie's fiancée, what are you doing here?"

"Young Master Ye, it's like this, we..."

Before Wang Xiaoya could finish speaking, Ye Linyuan interrupted her.

"Don't call me Young Master, it sounds awkward."

Liu Weiyu quickly picked up the conversation, a faint smile appearing on her face, her pearly teeth slightly parted.

"Then we'll call you Mr. Ye. Mr. Ye, we're here today to discuss cooperation with you."

"Cooperation? What kind of cooperation?"

"We hope to join the alliance of the eight great families of the South and the Luo family."

Ye Linyuan raised an eyebrow, looking at Liu Weiyu with some surprise. After a moment's thought, he asked.

"Aren't your three families related to the Qin family by marriage? Why are you trying to cooperate with me?"

"relatives by marriage?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaoya let out a cold laugh.

"The Qin family prides itself on being the head of the four hidden families. Their marriage alliance with the three of us is merely a means to control a portion of our power, so that the Qin family can be bail out."

As soon as Wang Xiaoya finished speaking, Wu Qianqian and Liu Weiyu also spoke up.

"That's right, our engagement with Qin Lie is nothing more than an exchange of interests."

"It wouldn't have been a big deal originally. After all, it's quite normal for women from wealthy families like us to be used as tools in exchanges of benefits. But the Qin family went too far this time. They actually, actually..."

Ye Linyuan's curiosity was piqued by Liu Weiyu's words, and he took the initiative to ask.

"What?!"

Wu Qianqian gritted her teeth and spat out a sentence through gritted teeth.

"The Qin family actually said they want to transfer our engagement to Qin Lie's younger brother, Qin Lin. What do they take us for? Tools that they can sell off at will?!"

"That's right, the Qin family doesn't treat us like human beings at all, but only as tools to collude with our family!"

"We don't want to be treated as tools. We are human beings, living, breathing human beings, so we want to resist, we want to reclaim our autonomy!"

Ye Linyuan was also quite shocked by the Qin family's actions. He could guess the Qin family's thoughts, but the problem was that this operation was purely from their own perspective and completely disregarded the other party's thoughts.

It's important to understand that prominent families value their reputation above all else. If the Qin family's practice of arbitrarily changing their betrothal partner were to actually happen, they might be able to protect their interests, but they would directly cause the other party to lose face.

The other party will feel that the Qin family does not treat us as equal partners at all, but rather as subordinates, and that the marriage is not a tool to strengthen ties, but merely a form of charity.

Even the Wu, Zhang, and Liu families might think, "Today, Qin Lie is crippled, and you've transferred the marriage to Qin Lin. If Qin Lin is also crippled tomorrow, will you transfer the marriage to Qin Feng, the head of your Qin family?"

This kind of behavior completely disregards the Wu, Zhang, and Liu families!

"So you mean you still want to marry Qin Lie, right?"

Upon hearing Ye Linyuan's words, the three women immediately became anxious and hurriedly spoke up.

"How could that be? Even if he still had an arm and a leg, let alone now that he's crippled, none of the three of us would want to marry him!"

"Exactly, exactly. Our alliance was originally just between powerful forces, there's no affection between us at all, so how could we possibly want to marry Qin Lie?"

"That's right, and we don't know anything about Qin Lie, we haven't even met him yet, how could we possibly want to marry him?"

Ye Linyuan looked at Wu Qianqian, Zhang Xiaoya, and Liu Weiyu with a headache and casually complained.

"It's neither this nor that, so what do you want? You can't possibly want to marry me, can you?"
