Xia Yumo smiled faintly on her delicate face and politely declined.
"Hmm?" Yang Xiao frowned. He had never been rejected by a girl before, and today he was rejected by two girls in a row, which made him very unhappy.
However, in order to maintain his gentlemanly manners in front of the pretty girl, he smiled and said, "Alright then, you guys enjoy your meal."
After saying that, Yang Xiao turned around and his face suddenly darkened. Two bodyguards followed him and left the hotel lobby.
After watching them leave, Xia Yumo turned to Yang Feng and said earnestly:
"Yang Feng, you'd better be careful. This person is no ordinary person. His family has a lot of influence in Yanjing."
Yang Feng frowned slightly and nodded.
"What kind of influence could his family have in Beijing? Could they possibly commit illegal acts in a society governed by the rule of law?"
Han Shilan, being rather naive, looked at Xia Yumo and asked, puzzled.
"Their family is the Yang family, one of the ten major families in Yanjing. They have influence and military connections. Do you think it would be easy for them to deal with someone if they wanted to?"
Xia Yumo shook her head slightly and spoke slowly.
"Ah? How could this be?" Han Shilan was a little nervous and exclaimed in surprise.
"Hey, don't worry. Let me ask you, would a big family like them really come after a greenhorn like me?" Yang Feng said with a smile, offering his analysis.
"That's true." Xia Yumo nodded, but a hint of worry still flashed in her beautiful eyes.

In the VIP room of Shuangyue Bay Hotel, Yang Xiao stood by the window, gazing intently at the dazzling fireworks outside, feeling the cool breeze.
He had one hand in his pocket and the other on the windowsill, and spoke in a low voice:
"Have you found out anything about that boy?"
A middle-aged man in a formal suit, with a steady gait and sharp eyes, respectfully replied:
“Young Master, we’ve investigated all his information. The man’s name is Yang Feng. He has a younger sister. His father died in a car accident two years ago. His mother lives in Zhejiang Province. He is currently studying at Yanjing No. 1 High School. His deskmate is the girl to his right just now. They should be in a romantic relationship. However… this girl is Mayor Han’s daughter.”
"Um?"
Yang Xiao raised an eyebrow and said with a slight smile:
"So what if she's Mayor Han's daughter? Does he dare to mess with the Yang family? Go and bring that girl here. She's the first girl who has captured my heart since I returned to the country. Remember to do it properly."
He already had a plan in mind: to capture Han Shilan, force the issue, and then come to propose marriage, leaving them with no choice but to accept.
"Yes, young master." The man nodded and turned to walk out.
After finishing dinner, Yang Feng escorted Han Shilan back to her room and then headed towards the hotel lobby, pondering the matter of the young master from the Yang family that had just occurred to him.
Before I knew it, I had walked onto the golden sandy beach, where dazzling fireworks were being set off. The calm sea surface was like a mirror, reflecting the fireworks.
Suddenly, a cold, bell-like sound came from the edge of the sea.
"If you don't get out of here, you'll regret it."
Upon hearing this, Yang Feng looked over and saw Liu Hanlu's incomparably beautiful face, her eyes filled with coldness and a hint of killing intent.
Before her stood two burly men, dressed in black vests and black beach shorts, their eyes filled with lust. They had never seen such a beautiful girl on the beach before, like a fairy.
Then greed arose in his heart.
"Little sister, it's your honor to have you accompany us. I'm a local big shot in this area, no one dares to mess with me. If you become my woman, I guarantee you'll live a carefree life."
The man who spoke was named Zheng Qiang. He had a lewd smile on his lips and his eyes were fixed on her curvaceous figure, as if he wanted to devour her whole.
"Be your woman? Heh, you'll have to be capable of that." Liu Hanlu's lips curled into a cold smile, her beautiful, icy eyes seeming to see right through people's hearts. She clenched her small fists and channeled the true energy in her dantian.
That's right, she's a martial arts practitioner! The only daughter of the Liu family!
"Wow, that's feisty enough, I like it!"
Zheng Qiang raised his thick eyebrows and smiled. As he raised one hand, a large hand suddenly grabbed his wrist.
Yang Feng stared at him coldly and said, "What kind of man bullies a girl?"
Immediately, with a twist of his large hand, he turned Zheng Qiang's thick wrist around, causing Zheng Qiang to scream in pain and kneel down on one knee.
"Ah! You son of a bitch! Let me go right now!!"
"Fine." Yang Feng's lips curled into a cold smile. He released his wrist and slapped him hard.
"Smack!!"
Zheng Qiang was immediately sent flying, like a kite with a broken string, and crashed into the sea with a splash.
"Brother Zheng!" the young man next to him shouted, then looked at Yang Feng with a hint of fear in his eyes, his lips trembling as he said, "You're dead, kid!"
After saying that, he turned around and slunk away towards the beach to rescue Zheng Qiang.
Yang Feng let out a soft breath. He had threatened these thugs countless times before. Suddenly, a cold voice came from behind him.
"Why are you meddling in other people's business? Do you know who you just hit? He has a lot of territory in this area. You'd better be careful, or you'll regret not warning me."
Yang Feng frowned, turned to look at her cold yet delicate and fair face. He had saved her, after all, and she didn't even say thank you? Instead, she was making these sarcastic remarks.
