Leaving Work Early!

"Yunxi!" Yun Shanshan greeted Bai Yunxi with a radiant smile as he emerged from the conference room.

Ye Fan stood with his hands behind his back, eyeing Yun Shanshan unhappily. "Why are you calling him your big brother Yunxi? Shouldn't he be your little brother? You look several years older than him!" he said snidely.

Bai Yunxi was speechless. Ye Fan's tongue was as vicious as ever!

Yun Shanshan's face twisted as she looked at Ye Fan. "What are you doing here? Did you force your way up? Yunxi, hurry and call security!"

"There's no need to make a fuss. He's my friend," Bai Yunxi said blandly.

Yun Shanshan stared blankly at Ye Fan. "Yunxi, since when did you have such an unserious friend? Just look at him..." What a complete weirdo!

"Little girl, don't be so clueless. This isn't unserious. This is cool!" Ye Fan said indignantly.

Ye Fan turned to Bai Yunxi. "Yunxi, don't you agree?"

"Yes! Cool! Cool as hell!" Bai Yunxi said with a smile that never reached his eyes. He looked just like someone selling salted fish.

"Come on, I'll treat you to a meal. I just earned fifty million, so I can live it up for a while," Ye Fan said smugly.

"Fifty million? That's quite a sum," Bai Yunxi said.

Ye Fan nodded. "I'm very capable. Stick with me, and you'll live the good life."

"I already live the good life. Why would I need to stick with you...?" Bai Yunxi sneered.

Yun Shanshan watched Bai Yunxi leave with Ye Fan, dumbstruck. She had never imagined that Bai Yunxi would have anything to do with someone like Ye Fan.

Ye Fan and Bai Yunxi stepped out of the elevator, and both receptionists widened their eyes at the sight of them.

"Mr. Bai, are you heading out?"

One receptionist stared at Ye Fan in shock. "You... how did you...?"

She clearly hadn't seen Ye Fan go upstairs! Why had he come out of the elevator with Mr. Bai?

Ye Fan flashed his white teeth and said nastily, "Yunxi, this is the clueless woman who stopped me from seeing you earlier."

The receptionist looked embarrassed. "Mr. Bai, I didn't know this guest was your friend."

Bai Yunxi smiled. "It's all right. You did very well!"

Ye Fan frowned in displeasure. "Yunxi, what are you talking about? She blocked my way and even wanted security to grab me! And you're praising her?"

Bai Yunxi gave a cold smile. "This is a major company. Do you think it's a junkyard? Looking like that, you still expected her to let you through? Dream on."

"You just said I was cool as hell, and now you're turning your back on me..." Ye Fan said resentfully.

Bai Yunxi gave Ye Fan an impatient look. "Didn't you want to eat? Let's go."

"Sure! Sure! I asked your grandfather for your number before, but he wouldn't give it to me. That damned old man is so stingy," Ye Fan complained to Bai Yunxi as they walked.

The two receptionists were left staring in astonishment.

Even after the two men disappeared from view, the receptionist still hadn't recovered.

"Mr. Bai just left work early!" the short-haired beauty said in amazement.

Bai Yunxi was a workaholic who loved working overtime. Whenever he stayed late, everyone else had no choice but to stay too. Yet now, Mr. Bai had actually left early.

"Who is that guy with the wild hair? Mr. Bai didn't even have someone throw him out," the long-haired beauty said in surprise.

"That punk seems pretty close to Mr. Bai!" the short-haired beauty said.

Bai Yunxi drove Ye Fan to a hotel.

"Why did you come to Capital City?"

"I came to see you! Your constitution attracts ghosts and monsters easily. It used to be dormant, but it's about to awaken, which will make you even more attractive to them. I have to watch over you so some demon or ghost doesn't carry you off," Ye Fan said anxiously.

Bai Yunxi gave a cold laugh. "It attracts demons and ghosts? Demons and ghosts like you?"

"Of course not! I'm a handsome, promising young man. How could I be a demon or ghost?" Ye Fan said, shaking his head.

Ye Fan thought, There are no cultivators in this world, so my only rivals are demons and ghosts. In the cultivation world, I'd have far more competition. A cultivation furnace with a Heavenly Yin Constitution was once auctioned on the Cultivation Continent, and fetched an astronomical price.

Bai Yunxi gripped the steering wheel in irritation. "What a load of nonsense. All you ever do is spout superstitious rubbish."

Ye Fan tilted his head. "You have a Buddha Amulet on you that keeps ghosts and spirits away, but its power is about to run out."

Bai Yunxi fell silent. As a child, he had often dreamed of seeing ghosts-or rather, had actually seen them. Because of that, his grandfather had sought out a master, who made him a Buddha Amulet. It was said to keep him safe for ten years. Counting the years, that time was indeed almost up.

"I brought you a Fortune Bead Bracelet. I inscribed quite a few formations in it. Wearing it will keep you safe," Ye Fan said.

"Do fortune beads really work? It had better not be a fake!" Bai Yunxi said coldly.

"How could it be a fake? You're always imagining things," Ye Fan said, shaking his head.
