Seeing that Meng Chen remained silent, Dugu Bo hurried forward to help the two of them up and said with a smile:
"Madam Ye, you're far too kind. I have no complaints about Chen... young Master Chen. I simply don't stand on ceremony."
That sounded reasonable enough.
Seeing that Dugu Bo held no grudge against Meng Chen, Ye Cixin felt relieved.

The lovely mother's fragrance enveloped Meng Chen. He was perfectly happy to sit quietly beside Ye Cixin and look handsome.

Dugu Bo's confidence naturally came from Ye Xishui, that terrifying level-ninety-nine powerhouse.
Before seeing Meng Chen, he might not have dared to go to Seven Treasure
