Tang Zhou immediately hung up the phone and stopped Ji Qishu from continuing. He then said to Ye Junqing excitedly, “Brother Qing, there’s a mermaid inside that’s even more beautiful than Xia Yanyan!”

“Are you drunk?”

“Absolutely not. Don’t you know how much I can drink? Come over quickly. We’ll go in together and take a look. I guarantee that you’ll see it.”

Tang Zhou was extremely anxious. When Ye Junqing slowly walked up the stairs and got close, he immediately made an inviting gesture to let Ye Junqing go first, then followed behind Ye Junqing, rubbing his hands excitedly.

Ye Junqing walked slowly into the swimming pool and looked around. “Where’s the mermaid?”

“No, she was in the swimming pool just now.”

Tang Zhou ran over and turned on the lights. He stared at the rippling water in the swimming pool and searched carefully. His eyes were like searchlights, not missing a single corner.

However, the water in the pool was clear and blue. If there were really mermaids in the water, they would definitely be able to see her.

Tang Zhou grabbed his hair. “That’s impossible. I saw her just now. Was it an illusion?”

Ye Junqing gave him a cold look. “Go back and sober up before you sleep.”

Then, he walked away with his long legs and left.

Seeing that Tang Zhou didn’t keep up, Ye Junqing turned around when he reached the door. “Are you still not leaving?”

“Brother Qing, I really saw her. I definitely didn’t see anything wrong. Maybe she’s hiding. Let me take a look…”

Ye Junqing’s voice became colder. “If you dare to fool around and come home in the middle of the night again, I’ll break your legs!”

“I really…”

Unfortunately, before Tang Zhou finished talking, Ye Junqing had already walked out. In the quiet swimming pool, there was only a dignified voice. “Keep up.”

Tang Zhou was discouraged and had no choice but to follow. When he reached the entrance of the swimming pool, he muttered, “Did I really drink too much?”

After they left, Ye Xingguang walked out of an entryway.

As if she had experienced a life-and-death calamity, she heaved a huge sigh of relief. Fortunately, she was safe, or she would have been exposed.

Ye Xingguang wiped her sweat and muttered to herself, “I have no choice. If I don’t hide myself well, I’ll have to go back and inherit the throne!”

Late at night, after confirming that there was no one outside, Ye Xingguang sneaked out of the swimming pool.

After returning to the villa, she poured herself a glass of water and sat on the couch in the living room. As she drank, she lifted her pajamas and checked her legs. The rashes on her legs seemed to have subsided and were no longer itchy, which was great.

After Ye Junqing sent Tang Zhou away, he saw a charming girl sitting on the couch the moment he returned to the villa. She was lifting up her pajamas to admire her slender and beautiful legs.

Ye Junqing’s face darkened instantly.

Did this woman know that in the eyes of any man, that was the source of sin?

Not wanting to be lured anymore, he shouted fiercely, “What are you doing?”

Ye Xingguang didn’t expect someone to walk in in the middle of the night. Being shouted at by a cold voice, she couldn’t even hold the hot water in her hand steadily. The cup shook and the hot water spilled on her legs, making her gasp.

“Ah, so hot!” Ye Xingguang jumped up from the heat.

Ye Junqing frowned and rushed over right away almost intuitively. He saw that her fair skin was visibly red. Instead of comforting her, his voice became especially cold. “Idiot, you can’t even hold a cup of water steadily!”
