Seeing Yunxi approaching from not far away, Piqiu reflexively stood up and smoothly uttered a sentence:

"Sister-in-law..."

Sister-in-law?

Tang Li shifted his gaze from Yunxi to Piqiu's face. Piqiu reacted quickly, decisively pointing to the shared bicycles by the roadside and saying to Tang Li:

"Please scan a bicycle, Miss Tang."

uh-huh?

Want to scan a bike?

What are you doing?

Tang Li, looking bewildered, took her car keys out of her bag and waved them in front of the ball:

"I drove here."

Piqiu scratched the back of his head awkwardly:

“I know Miss Tang is a very good race car driver, but my ex-boyfriend said that when girls are in a bad mood, riding a bicycle can help them forget all their troubles. I think this method might work, Miss Tang can give it a try.”

In some corner of the city, an ex-partner suddenly sneezed.

He stated that he had never said such nonsense.

Even as dusk approaches in this sweltering summer heat, Tanzhou, a city as humid as a steamer, continues to radiate the sun's lingering heat, scorching everyone walking on the streets.

"No, I decline to try."

Tang Li refused the ball's 'kind offer' without hesitation.

After speaking, Tang Li stood up and looked at Yunxi, who had walked up to him. He subconsciously glanced around.

"Sister Yunxi, are you... accompanying Gu Ming to get plastic surgery?"

Gu Ming only suffered minor injuries; he should recover after resting for a while.

It shouldn't be to the point of disfigurement.

Yunxi joked:

"Gu Ming is such a perfect man, wouldn't plastic surgery be the same as disfiguring him? Don't worry, he's not that desperate."

When he heard Yunxi praising another man as perfect, Piqiu's expression was full of disdain.

At the same time, they also felt indignant on behalf of Brother Qi.

"There's no such thing as a perfect man in the world. Don't they all need to be patched up to satisfy some people? Either they need to get their appearance fixed or their inner thoughts cleaned up."

That sounds... kind of barbed?

Tang Li gently punched the ball and whispered:

"If you don't speak, no one will treat you like a ball to be kicked around."

Yunxi, on the other hand, stared at the ball for a long time, then looked puzzled:

"Sir, we seem to have met somewhere before?"

Upon hearing this, Piqiu felt even more aggrieved for Seventh Brother and directly confronted Yunxi:

"Sister, please let me go. I'm not the kind of person who can be easily flirted with on the street." Tang Li secretly pinched him, turning to the side and gritting her teeth as she said:

"Be polite to my sister."

Thinking of Seventh Brother's entrustment, and out of respect for Tang Li, Piqiu jokingly added:

"Although I have to admit, this young man is a little bit handsome."

While this statement is somewhat irreverent, it significantly reduces the harshness of the previous statement.

Yunxi explained very seriously:

"I really think you look familiar. We must have met before, right?"

At first, Tang Li didn't think much of it; Yunxi probably just thought he looked familiar.

But asking again doesn't seem like Yunxi's style.

As the owner of Ruoxia Winery, she was, if not extremely busy, still a very busy person. Every day, the winery was bustling with customers, whether they were big spenders or individual travelers. Yet, she somehow remembered the ball.

It feels more like an attempt to cover up the truth.

And the fact that she appeared at a plastic surgery clinic at this time...

Tang Li stared at her face, looking it over from left to right:

"Sis, your face must be all original, right?"

Yunxi chuckled:

"What are you thinking? I cry from the pain of even pulling out a hangnail on my hand. Do you think I would get plastic surgery?"

When it comes to figure and appearance, Yunxi is never afraid to compare herself with anyone.

She possesses a captivating charm that is unmatched by most.

"Then how did you end up here?"

The timing was too coincidental, which made Tang Li suspicious. Did Yunxi already know that Seventh Brother was still alive?

And knowing that Seventh Brother was having surgery today, is that why she came here specifically?

Yunxi calmly took Tang Li's hand:

“I’m preparing for the wedding, right? I just happened to be trying on wedding dresses today. Gu Ming was supposed to come with me, but as you know, he’s not very mobile right now.”

Piqiu clenched his fist, thinking that Seventh Brother had gone too easy on him last time.

That guy should really be paralyzed.

(It was just a spiteful thought, not an intention to defy the law. After all, my baby, who has been with Brother Qi for many years, would never do something illegal.)

If Yunxi hadn't reminded her, Tang Li would have completely forgotten that she was getting married.

Seeing that Yunxi was with Tang Li, Piqiu really didn't want to listen anymore.

He was going back to be with his poor seventh brother.

So he forced a very weak smile and tried his best to speak gently to Yunxi:

"Since Mr. Yun is here, I feel at ease entrusting Miss Tang to you. I won't disturb your chat, I'll be leaving now. See you later."

After Piqiu finished speaking and turned around, Yunxi suddenly called out:

"I remember now."

Tang Li looked at her with a puzzled expression, while Yun Xi smiled brightly:

"His address of 'Boss Yun' just now suddenly made everything clear to me. Isn't he the handsome guy who always comes drinking with that gentleman in the hat, but is always late?"

The ball lowered its head after hearing this.

Yunxi took the initiative to ask:

"Why isn't that gentleman with you? You two are always inseparable. It's rare to see men being so...so inseparable."

What an inseparable couple!

Tang Li sighed deeply.

Waving to the ball, he said:

"Go ahead and get busy. I'm sorry to have troubled you today."
