After a brief startle, Chen Hai came to his senses; he hurriedly invited Ye Cheng and his party to the guest living room of the adjacent courtyard.
"Brother Cheng, I got engaged to Qingqing, and you didn't even have time to come to Yang City; how come you have time to visit me today?"
"It couldn't be that you want to send a few more bodyguards and drivers to stand guard in my yard, could it?"
He poured a cup of hot tea for each of Ye Cheng's party.
Chen Hai's gaze lingered on the few stern-faced soldiers who had come with Ye Cheng, scanning them several times.
He chuckled and joked with them.
Last year, to prevent his sister from secretly meeting with Chen Hai, Ye Cheng had even sent Tian Mingjian to stay by Chen Hai's side all day.
But now, Tian Mingjian had retired from the military and, instead of serving the country, he had joined Chen Hai's ranks.
The mention of this caused no small amount of resentment in Ye Cheng.
