"Yes, I do."

Her eldest brother, Ye Mo, stood up and walked over to Ye Huo. With a faint smile, he reached out of his own accord and drew his little sister protectively into his arms.

He thoughtfully rubbed her head, then gave a gentle blink, a hint of indulgence showing through his unruliness. "But my little sister was born delicate and can't bear the slightest grievance, so, as her big brother, I'll just have to discipline your daughter, won't I?"

"Wh... what do you mean?"

The Tang parents' voices trembled, as if they had a bad feeling.

Ye Mo's handsome face turned cold. "Get out of the capital, and don't let me see you again! Otherwise, there's a lifetime-in-prison gift package waiting. Take your pick."

The Tang parents were scared witless.

Only then did they realize how formidable the capital's Ye Family was.

Offend one of the capital's top powers, and you wouldn't even know how you died, much less if it was the Ye Family, who stood at the pinnacle of power and could summon the wind and rain!

"And you, you bastard of a teacher, what do you mean, it takes two hands to clap? What do you mean, why did they only bully my sister and no one else? Did you feed your conscience to the dogs? Is this how you uphold justice?"

Ye Mo lowered his eyes. He was like ice that had not melted in a thousand years, and the chill radiating from him made people shudder.

He gently stroked Ye Huo's head, his touch as tender as if she were a fragile treasure.

His features were as handsome as a sculpture's, with little emotion showing. He was steady and reserved.

"I... I was wrong... I shouldn't have said that about your sister..."

Teacher Wang instantly turned pale with fright. Struck dumb, he dropped to his knees and begged for mercy. "I know I was wrong. I'll never casually accuse anyone again. Please, spare me. I have elderly parents and young children to support, and a mortgage to pay. I can't lose this job!"

"Then go guard the school gate."

Ye Mo carried the air of a soldier, his murderous presence like that of a major general commanding from his post, making Teacher Wang involuntarily swallow.

That was too ruthless!

He had been demoted straight to gate guard. There might not be the slightest hope of promotion for him now!

Only now, with his own interests affected,

did this petty man, who usually threw his weight around and fawned over wealth and power, truly feel afraid.

So this was the aura of someone at the top!

If he had known the Ye Family was so damn powerful, if he had known Ye Huo came from such a formidable family, he wouldn't have dared act so recklessly even if he'd been lent ten times the courage!

Now it was too late for regrets.

After dealing with the Tang Family and the homeroom teacher and thoroughly venting their anger on behalf of their precious granddaughter, the family happily took Ye Huo home.

On international battlefields, Ye Huo had endured brutal training. For over a decade, she had lived a life of killing or being constantly on guard against being killed.

On this day, she finally got to enjoy school like a normal person and bask in the love of her parents, brothers, maternal grandfather, and grandfathers.

The faintly red setting sun was half-hidden behind the evening glow, edging the clouds in brilliant gold.

The whole family drove their luxury cars, one after another, to bring Ye Huo home.

Her mother, Jian Yan, made all sorts of delicious food: chicken legs, duck legs, roast chicken, roast duck, chicken soup stewed with ginseng, every kind of dessert and cake, and side dishes of every description.

Under her family's loving care, Ye Huo ate happily. It felt wonderful to have a home.

Ye Huo became the darling of the whole family.

Her grandfather gave her the largest south-facing bedroom on the second floor. She could see the garden as soon as she opened the door.

A tall flowering crabapple tree reached up to her window. It was late April, and its blossoms had just begun to open, movingly beautiful.

Ye Huo drew a deep breath, a satisfied smile curling at the corners of her lips.

This was her home now.

The room was lavishly furnished, almost entirely in pink: pink sheets, a pink bathroom, a pink desk, a pink dressing table...

The bed was enormous, with a row of Barbie dolls on it.

A piano stood by the window, with a pink sofa beside it. The curtains stirred gently, and the whole room was as lovely and peaceful as a fairy tale.

Her mother had hired the capital's most famous fashion designer and filled a wardrobe with new dresses and clothes from the current season.

The only clothes Ye Huo liked to wear were two tracksuits, one black and one gray, and a set of green casual clothes she had worn during military training.

After dinner, she changed into a tracksuit and climbed out the window to go running.

When her mother came upstairs with dessert, she searched the room, then blinked and asked in confusion, "Where's my Huohuo?"

Ye Mo, who was in the next room, had excellent hearing.

He came out and said calmly, "Mom, Huohuo went out to train."

"It's so dangerous for her to go out at night! No, hurry and bring your sister back!"

Jian Yan's heart fluttered with alarm.

Clutching her chest, she spoke worriedly.

A mother and daughter's hearts were connected. She couldn't bear the pain of losing her precious daughter again.

Ye Mo nodded, vaulted through the second-floor window, and went after his sister, Ye Huo.

Only when Jian Yan saw her eldest son go to protect her precious daughter did she feel a little more at ease.

Just then, her husband, Ye Chuan, brought up an armful of decorations: a large pink cashmere rug, a vase filled with flowers, picture frames, star lights, a magic wand, wind chimes, and more.

"Dear, while Huohuo's out, why don't we add a few things to her room?"

"Sure."

The couple exchanged a look and nodded excitedly. They got straight to work, vowing to turn their precious daughter's room into the cutest princess bedroom.

In half an hour, Ye Huo's room had taken on a whole new look, with the latest hair dryer, the best toothpaste, toothbrush, towels, a full-length mirror, all kinds of cotton pajamas...

Such was the depth of parents' love for their children. Whatever they could think of for their daughter, they had provided.

The evening breeze swept through the bustling streets.

After climbing over the wall around her family's villa, Ye Huo began running along the roads and through the park.

As the queen of professional mercenaries, she needed to train every day.

The evening air was exceptionally refreshing, and a trace of the setting sun hung on the horizon.

Ye Huo ran along the white-jade railing by the river, covering fifty kilometers in one go and running all over the city, a distance equivalent to three marathons.

Ye Mo hadn't expected his sister to be such a runner. He could keep up at first, but later had to flag down a car to follow her.

Her strength, combat power, and explosive power were all at their peak.

After nearly three hours of running, a faint sheen of sweat appeared on her forehead, but she still had enough energy to run for another three hours.

Night had fully fallen, and the city's neon lights began to flicker.

Ye Huo leaned against the riverside railing and gazed out over the water, a smile curling at her lips. "Come out, big brother! You've been following me for a long time!"

Ye Mo had the driver stop, paid the fare, and got out.

He strode over to Ye Huo on his long legs, admiration shining in his deep eyes.

He knew his little sister was exceptionally skilled and highly capable at counter-surveillance.

If she hadn't allowed it, no one could have followed her for this long.

"Huohuo, Mom was worried, so she told me to follow you."

The man was tall and slender, dressed in black casual clothes, with an air of nobility about him. His thin lips moved as he went on slowly, "But since we're out, I'll take you for a stroll around the night market!"

"Sure, big brother."

Ye Huo smiled... Her devastatingly beautiful face and carefree, noble air carried a hint of playfulness.

With her slender waist, arms, and legs, a devilish figure, and an angelic face, she looked like a heroine who had stepped out of a comic.

Ye Mo took his sister by the hand and led her to the busiest night market on the capital's West Street to buy snacks.

Ye Huo had barbecue and beer, crayfish, fried skewers... Everything was so delicious.

She held barbecue in her left hand and skewers in her right. Escorted by her big brother, she ate her way from one end of the street to the other, until her belly was stuffed.
