The woman helped the man up and left, leaving Ling Hao staring blankly at her retreating figure.

The third brother returned to the group with a smug look on his face. "See? Is it wrong to have physical contact right after we met?"

This is just the beginning. Next, I'll have someone keep an eye on him and try to bump into him a few times. But I've changed my mind. After seeing this woman, I want to get married.

Third brother, do you know this girl's name?

"Hiss, you should call her Third Sister-in-law," the third brother glared at the speaker and scolded.

ah?

The third brother glared at the man again.

Okay, okay, Third Sister-in-law, Third Sister-in-law.

Ye Zongqi pursed his lips and remained silent.

Seeing Ling Hao in a daze, the third brother asked, "What's wrong, Brother Ling? Are you dumbfounded?"

Ling Hao frowned. "Let's void the bet. All your bets are void. Don't mention this again."

ah?

Why?

"Brother Ling, are you a sore loser?" the third brother muttered discontentedly.

The third brother was very dissatisfied; he felt that the duck that was about to be eaten had flown away.

Ye Zongqi remained silent, waiting for what was to come.

His gaze swept around, and he slowly spoke.

Who do you think he is? He's not on your level.

Brother Ling, what do you mean by that?

Yeah, do you look down on us?

What does it mean to be on different levels?

Do you two know each other?

We're more than just acquaintances; we feel very familiar with each other.

"Shut up and be quiet, let Ling Hao continue," Ye Zongqi interrupted, as he was very curious about the woman and wanted to know as soon as possible.

Ling Hao gave Ye Zongqi a deep look before speaking again.

His name is Li Mu, the eldest daughter of the Li Group.

The third brother's eyes widened.

What did you say? She's the eldest daughter of the Li family? That business genius?

Several people gasped in shock.

The light in Ye Zongqi's eyes dimmed instantly, and his hands clenched into fists behind his back, turning faintly white.

The third brother rolled his eyes, coughed lightly, and said, "Hey, Brother Ling just said the bet is void, and I agreed. I'm a little tired, and my leg is a bit injured, so I'll be going now." After saying that, he limped away from the group's sight.

Ye Zongqi glanced at Ling Hao and then turned and left.

There was no betting involved. Yes, they're not on the same level. Ling Hao is right. Although he's a spoiled brat, he still has at least some self-awareness. The eldest daughter of the Li family isn't scary, nor is she unattainable. Didn't Ling Hao marry the second daughter of the Li family?

The key is that the eldest daughter of the Li family is not only a graduate of the top university, but also a business genius, and has many other outstanding labels, making her someone they can't afford to offend.

The remaining two stared at each other, then both looked at Ling Hao.

Ling Hao shrugged. "Let's go to a bar and have some fun."

The two said this arrangement was OK.

For Li Mu, the strange person was just a minor incident. He changed his clothes and left without paying any attention to it.

After that day, the upscale gym gained another SVIP customer, a strange customer who never worked out and just sat there in a daze.

That's right, Ling Hao, the second young master of the Ling family. If the club manager didn't know that this was the second young master of the Ling family, he would have mistaken him for a pervert.

Rumor has it that the second young master of the Ling family changes women like he changes clothes. If I hadn't witnessed it with my own eyes years ago, I would have mistaken Ling Hao for a lovestruck fool. The manager expressed his bewilderment and even checked Li Mu's account information once. When he found that he couldn't find it, he immediately stopped. The inability to find the information indicated that the client's identity was special.

Ling Hao didn't know why, but he really wanted to see Li Mu, so he would come here every day just to see Li Mu for a moment. These days, Ling Hao began to doubt himself and fell into a deep contradiction. Shouldn't he love Mi Xi?

As usual, Li Mu was working out in the largest gym. Li Mu had already noticed Ling Hao's presence, and she also noticed the paparazzi behind Ling Hao, who were obviously being monitored by Mi Xi.

Judging by the time, Mi Xi should be back by now; the real show is about to begin.

Today is the day Mi Xi returns to Kyoto, and Mi Lan got up early to start making preparations.

Second Miss, please hurry up when you get back today. How's the dessert you like coming along?

Auntie, it's already started making them. I guarantee my sister will have freshly baked pastries when she comes back, so don't worry.

The speaker was a girl around twenty-three years old, the daughter of Mi Lan's second eldest brother, named Mi Jing. She was also the newly appointed steward of the Li family, who came after Mi Xi's marriage.

Uncle Wu was Li Mu's housekeeper in his early years. He resigned when Li Mu was studying abroad. Li Mu was worried about him, so after graduating and returning to China, he went to look for him in person. He was relieved to see that Uncle Wu was living a peaceful life.

Good, good, Xiaojing, you're really capable.

Why did my aunt suddenly come back?

In a few days, the Crown Prince will be choosing a consort, and your sister and brother-in-law will be attending, so they should come back early to prepare.

The Crown Prince is choosing a bride? Auntie, can I go?

Mi Lan looked embarrassed; he himself was only able to get a seat thanks to Li Hongyun.

Xiaojing, it's not that your aunt doesn't want to take you, it's just that not everyone can attend the Tian family's banquet. The Tian family stipulates that only direct descendants of the family are qualified to attend, and each direct descendant can only bring one person to attend.

Mi Jing pursed her lips.

Seeing that Mi Jing remained silent, Mi Lan went up and hugged her.

"Little Jing, Auntie will think of a way for you," Mi Lan whispered in Mi Jing's ear, her eyes darting around.

Li Mu was woken up by the noise. After washing up, she went downstairs and saw this scene. The two of them were putting on a show of affection for each other so early in the morning. Li Mu found it cringeworthy and didn't want to pay any attention to them. Just as she was about to quietly enter the restaurant, Mi Jing happened to see her and called her back.

Mi Jing ran up to Li Mu and said, "Sister, you're up. Breakfast is ready."

Li Mu hummed in agreement and sat down at the dining table.

Mi Lan also came over, and didn't forget to give Mi Jing a wink.

Mi Jing smiled and sat down next to Li Mu, looking at Li Mu with a smile, "Sister, I have something I'd like to ask you for help with."

Seeing that Li Mu didn't speak, Mi Jing spoke again, "Sister, I heard that the Crown Prince of the Heavenly Kingdom will be choosing a consort soon, and I want to go and see the world."

"Oh, then go ahead," Li Mu said nonchalantly.

But sister, I can't get in without someone to guide me.

So you want me to take you in, is that right? Li Mu looked at Mi Jing with a leisurely air.

Upon hearing Li Mu's question, he couldn't help but nod frantically like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Is it okay, sister?" Mi Jing asked, her face full of anticipation.

Li Mu didn't answer and quietly ate her breakfast.

After finishing eating, I got up and left.

"Sister," Mi Jing called out to Li Mu again.

"Is something the matter?" Li Mu turned his head and asked.

That's what happened just now.

Oh? Li Mu seemed to suddenly remember.

Sister, you remembered? Mi Jing was speechless. She felt like she was talking to a brick wall. She cursed inwardly, "This bitch finally remembered the important matter."

Do you have any special talents?

ah?

It's about what you're good at, like dancing or playing a musical instrument.

Mi Jing shook her head.
