"Master? Master?" Seeing that Master Hong remained silent, the subordinate tentatively called out twice.

You wouldn't believe it until you look, and you'll find that their Boss Hong is actually blushing.

His men were dumbfounded.

Women are the most perceptive, and seeing Hong Ye's expression, what didn't Cao Nana know?

A growing sense of foreboding washed over her. She twisted her waist and stepped forward, clinging to Master Hong's arm and pleading, "Master, I can handle this myself, you don't need to worry..."

"That won't do." Master Hong said with a stern face, "You're my precious darling, how could I bear to let you worry about me?"

"Master..."

"I'll handle this personally. Don't worry, I'll definitely resolve it properly. You can go now."

"Master!" Cao Nana wanted to say something, but Master Hong glared at her fiercely: "Get down!"

"..."

Although she was very unwilling, the strong respected the strong, so Cao Nana glared at Xing Fei and Ji Zhinan before reluctantly retreating.

She will absolutely not let Ji Zhinan get away with this!

Seeing that Cao Nana wisely withdrew, Master Hong smiled again, looking at Ji Zhinan with sly eyes, and rubbed his hands together.

He wanted to face Ji Zhinan with a cheerful smile, but then, remembering something, he coughed and said with a stern face, "I've heard about what happened between you and Nana. Logically, I shouldn't interfere in your women's affairs, but..."

The conversation shifted abruptly, and it was obvious there was more to come.

As expected, Master Hong paused for a moment, then continued, "I'm in a good mood today, and I really don't want to see you killed by Nana. As long as you agree to be my woman, you'll be on equal footing with Nana from now on—no, you'll be my most beloved woman! I'll let you go right now..."

When he started talking about his little schemes, Hong Ye couldn't stop smiling; his lewdness was nauseating.

Xing Fei was the first to disagree, and she widened her eyes and shouted back.

"A toad lusting after a swan! You want my Nannan to be your mistress, you old geezer? Dream on!"

This Master Hong looks even tougher than his father, his skin is wrinkled like old tree bark, how dare he have designs on Nan Nan, it's disgusting!

"..." Master Hong's expression suddenly changed, becoming extremely ugly.

His sinister gaze fell on Xing Fei, and he gave his subordinate a meaningful look—

Upon receiving the order, the subordinate stepped forward to separate Xing Fei and Ji Zhinan.

Ji Zhinan immediately stretched out an arm to block Xing Fei.

"The most beloved woman?"

She finally spoke, though her tone remained as indifferent as ever, it was a fatal temptation for Master Hong.

He smiled again and nodded repeatedly, "That's right! My favorite!"

He automatically assumed that Ji Zhinan was already considering becoming his mistress, so he patiently repeated it again.

Xing Fei understood the same thing, so she became extremely anxious: "Nan Nan!"

Ji Zhinan didn't reply, but simply held Xing Fei's hand tightly, giving her an endless sense of security.

Ji Zhinan remained silent for a moment. Just as Master Hong was about to speak, she smiled and casually raised her head, as if she had heard some sarcastic promise. She looked at Master Hong with a mocking smile.

"A man's promises are always just empty words."

Hong Ye's men couldn't stand seeing their boss humiliated like this, so they stepped forward to teach Ji Zhinan a lesson.

"Wait a minute." Master Hong blocked their way, his eyes fixed on Ji Zhinan, and said earnestly, "That's another man. My feelings for you are genuine."

After saying that, as if to prove something to Ji Zhinan, he waved his hand at his subordinate.

"Untie them—"
