After being reborn, I hugged the villainous boss tightly.

Upon receiving the news, Ye Zhuxi quickly headed towards the backyard.

Upon reaching the backyard, they saw Ye Yuanbao leading his dog and five or six servants, shouting at Fu Jingyuan.

The vicious dog barked wildly at Fu Jingyuan as soon as it saw him, its voice deafening, filling the entire backyard with its barking.

Fu Jingyuan sat on the stone bench, drinking tea with an indifferent expression.

Seeing that Fu Jingyuan ignored him, Ye Yuanbao angrily shouted at Fu Jingyuan, "You worthless piece of trash, all you do is hide in the backyard. I've come looking for you now!"

Upon hearing this, Fu Jingyuan finally looked up at him and asked, "Then what does Young Master wish to do?"

Ye Yuanbao patted his beloved dog and said to Fu Jingyuan, "Unless you kowtow and apologize to Fugui, I will not let this go. I will also tell Big Sister to punish you."

Fu Jingyuan didn't even lift his eyelids, and said indifferently, "Then you can go and talk to him, young master!"

Ye Yuanbao was angered by Fu Jingyuan's unhurried manner, so he grabbed a whip from a servant and was about to hit him.

But suddenly a voice called out to them.

"Ye Yuanbao, stop right now!"

Ye Zhuxi was glad she made it in time and stood in front of Fu Jingyuan.

Fu Jingyuan curled his lips into a half-smile as he glanced at the aggressive Ye Zhuxi.

That look in his eyes seemed to say: Let me see how you're going to protect me!

Ye Zhuxi took a deep breath, walked over and snatched the whip from Ye Yuanbao's hand.

"Ye Yuanbao, what are you doing here now?"

Ye Yuanbao was somewhat afraid of Ye Zhuxi, after all, she was the eldest in the entire Ye family, and everyone doted on her.

Ye Yuanbao pointed at Fu Jingyuan behind her: "He scared Fugui yesterday, I just brought it here to get revenge!"

Previously, because Ye Zhuxi disliked Fu Jingyuan, Ye Yuanbao also disliked him and would often come to the backyard to bully him for no reason.

Ye Zhuxi was so angry that she stepped forward and grabbed Ye Yuanbao's ear hard: "Your dog stays in your house with you every day. How dare you say that your older brother is bullying your dog? Did it come here on its own to be bullied?"

“It’s clearly Fu Jingyuan, this outsider, who’s in the wrong, he…” Ye Yuanbao wanted to argue further.

Ye Zhuxi increased the pressure on her hands.

Ye Yuanbao was pinched so hard he almost cried. He was the only son of the Ye family, and his third uncle and aunt doted on him like a treasure. Apart from Ye Zhuxi, who would dare to treat him like this!

"Big sister, I was wrong! I won't do it again."

Hearing his pleas for mercy, Ye Zhuxi reluctantly let go of his hand and then pulled him to Fu Jingyuan's side.

“You shouldn’t apologize to me; you should apologize to your older brother.”

“I’ll apologize to him? Dream on,” Ye Yuanbao said with a disdainful look.

Ye Zhuxi crossed her arms and looked at him coldly: "A few days ago, my third aunt came to my mother and said that you should go to school. My mother hasn't returned yet. I'll go and remind her in a bit..."

When the topic of going to school came up, Ye Yuanbao's arrogance vanished completely.

He plopped down on the ground and acted like a spoiled brat.

"Big sister, why don't you care about me at all anymore?"

"You're not my older sister anymore."

Ye Zhuxi didn't tolerate him and kicked him a few times: "Apologize now!"

Knowing he couldn't escape today, Ye Yuanbao stood up reluctantly and whispered to Fu Jingyuan, who was sipping tea, "I'm sorry."

Fu Jingyuan smiled and said, "I didn't hear what my third brother said."

Ye Zhuxi's lips twitched, thinking to herself: This Fu Jingyuan is quite cunning!

Ye Yuanbao was furious. He pointed at Fu Jingyuan and said, "Don't pretend you're innocent after getting the benefit. You clearly heard it just now."

Ye Zhuxi frowned and reached out to pat him on the head: "Don't yell at your older brother."

Ye Yuanbao pouted and said sorry several times, afraid that Ye Zhuxi would scold him again. After apologizing, he picked up the big white dog and quickly left with a group of his men.

It seemed he wouldn't dare to bully Fu Jingyuan anymore. Ye Zhuxi had also completed her task, and she clapped her hands with a sigh of relief before turning to leave.

"I've heard news about Mu Zichen. Second sister is indeed cunning."

Fu Jingyuan spoke softly from behind her.

Ye Zhuxi paused in her steps, turned back to meet Fu Jingyuan's gaze, and grinned.

"It's all thanks to my elder brother that I did such a good job. If it weren't for your reminder, how could I have done so well!"

Yes, it was fortunate that Fu Jingyuan stopped her and told her to call another outsider to open the door.

I was certain that the person who ran away would spread the word everywhere, so there was no need for me to spread it around and arouse suspicion.

Fu Jingyuan smiled faintly, but his deep eyes remained calm, the smile not reaching his eyes.

Having resolved Ye Fuyao's matter, Ye Zhuxi has been feeling refreshed and has a great appetite lately.

That day at dinner, Madam Gu summoned Fu Jingyuan over again. Although it was called a meal, it was more about arranging a marriage for him.

Fu Jingyuan is already of marriageable age, but he has not yet married. Back then, everyone ignored him because of his second uncle's matter.

Now, thanks to Ye Zhuxi's efforts, his family has begun to pay more attention to him.

After the meal, Madam Gu picked up portraits of several young ladies and showed them to him: "Although these young ladies are from humble families, they are all legitimate daughters. You will not lose out if you marry any of them."

Fu Jingyuan is, after all, the eldest son of the Ye family in name only. Although the Ye family will not hand him over to him, they will not allow him to marry a concubine's daughter, which would lower the status of the Ye family.

Seeing Fu Jingyuan's brows furrow slightly, Ye Zhuxi knew that he didn't like any of them.

Not wanting his mother to continue clinging to him, Ye Zhuxi grinned and moved closer.

"Mother, I think all the girls in these pictures are plain-looking. How could they be a good match for my eldest brother?"

"Besides, let our elder brother choose his own wife; we shouldn't get involved in this matter."

After listening, Madam Gu walked over and tapped Ye Zhuxi's snow-white forehead, saying irritably, "What do you mean 'don't get involved'? Your eldest brother is now the eldest young master of the Ye family. If word gets out that he hasn't married, people who don't know the situation will think that we've been dragging this out!"

After she finished speaking, she looked at the girl in the portrait again: "Besides, I think the girls in this picture are not bad either! They are all pretty and charming."

Ye Zhuxi shook her head: "They're all just average-looking, far from being a match for Big Brother."

Her words piqued Gu's curiosity, and she couldn't help but ask, "Then what kind of appearance do you think would be worthy of your eldest brother?"

Fu Jingyuan also became interested, and looked at Ye Zhuxi with a deep gaze, wanting to see how she would respond.

Ye Zhuxi frowned and thought for a moment. Fu Jingyuan was the most handsome man she had ever seen, so there really weren't many people who could match him.

After thinking for a long time, she finally managed to say, "Someone like me... although it's a bit hard to find."

Fu Jingyuan frowned slightly: "..."

Upon hearing this, Madam Gu sighed, ordered someone to put the portrait away, then pinched her rosy cheeks and teased her.

"Someone like you might never be able to get married in his entire life!"

It's no wonder that Madam Gu is so proud of her daughter. When she was young, she was known in the capital for her unparalleled beauty and charm, and now her daughter is even more stunning. Finding a second one would be incredibly difficult.

Ye Zhuxi smiled brightly, then said jokingly, "If all else fails... I can do it myself!"

Madam Gu glared at her, annoyed.

"Don't talk nonsense, that's completely unrelated!"

"Hey hey hey~"

Ye Zhuxi turned around with a smile, just in time to meet Fu Jingyuan's deep gaze. His profound eyes were fixed on her, and he even frowned slightly in thought...

"..."

Ye Zhuxi felt ashamed. Could it be that Fu Jingyuan took her words seriously?
