Chapter 154 Is he a domineering CEO, or just a tyrant?

Bo Wei left the dessert shop feeling somewhat down.

Walking alone in the crowd, he appeared somewhat lonely.

She wanted to find someone to have a meal and chat with, but apart from Lu Xiyun, it seemed like there was no one else she could contact.

I didn't want to bother her. She finally got off work, and it's quite far from here, so I didn't want her to make the trip.

She really has very few friends.

She had so few friends that she began to doubt whether she was as wretched, selfish, and cold as Yu Yan had described, which was why she had no friends.

My phone beeped with a WeChat message notification.

She opened it and saw it was Li He.

Upon seeing Li He's name, for some reason, she felt a lump in her throat.

Li He: When you're done eating, I'll pick you up right on time, and then we'll go eat together.

Bo Wei felt relieved and replied to him: I'll send you my location, will you come pick me up now?

Li He: Wait.

People came and went in the square.

The streetlights overhead were turned on, and Bo Wei looked up.

She sat alone on a bench, looking up at the sky, her long, curly hair cascading down her back, the streetlights overhead shining on her like stage lights.

Such a beautiful woman, sitting alone on a bench in the evening, lost in thought, not even looking at her phone, created a solitary atmosphere amidst the bustling crowd. This solitude, however, only added to her mystique and romance.

At that moment, she felt like the protagonist of the world.

She attracted the attention of many passersby who kept glancing at her, reluctant to look away.

Bo Wei stared blankly upwards, her mind filled with Yu Yan's words.

The sky gradually lost its last glimmer of bright color, turning into a bluish-black, and then... into a blazing inferno.

Li He's face suddenly appeared in the sky, and Bo Wei's complicated feelings instantly turned blank.

She sat up straight and looked at him silently.

"What's wrong? You're looking up like that. I thought you were looking for me in the sky." Li He took her hand and led her away.

Bo Wei got up and followed, "Do you know that from your perspective, you look like an alien?"

Li He immediately stopped in his tracks. "What kind of perspective do you think I'm looking from?"

Bo Wei: ...

Li He gave a soft snort.

Bo Wei: "How dare someone like you have a wife!"

Li He laughed, "Then I have quite a few advantages: I'm rich, handsome, have a great body, and am good in bed. What's wrong? If you don't like those things, what do you like about me?"

"...I like your thick skin!" How can there be such a thick-skinned person in the world, especially her husband?

She trailed behind him by half a step, looking at his broad shoulders, her hand held tightly in his, and felt very secure at that moment.

Li He, annoyed by her slow pace, let go of her hand and instead put his arm around her shoulder. "A shameless person doesn't deserve a wife. Didn't you have a dinner appointment with some savior? Why are you here so soon?"

Bo Wei suddenly sighed in despair, "My benefactor has become my enemy; she hates me."

Li He's lips moved slightly, suppressing a laugh. "Why?"

“She thinks I’m selfish, that I cheated on her with a rich man, and that she looks down on me.”

Li He: "...It's okay. Huo Ran's birthday is in a couple of days, and he asked me to bring you. I'll take you there; everyone there is rich, and they won't look down on you just because your husband is rich."

Bo Wei: ...

With this level of comprehension, is he a domineering CEO, or just a tyrant?

...

As the sunset faded from the horizon, countless luxury cars appeared on the streets of City A, some even traveling in groups, causing quite a stir.

It was as if today was some kind of momentous day, drawing the curiosity of passersby.

In the internet age, news travels very fast.

The topic quickly sparked a heated discussion online.

Does anyone know what happened today? I'm really curious. Holy crap, seeing those luxury cars drive right in front of me, the sheer awe and shock of being overwhelmed by their extravagance was just too much.

[I counted luxury cars on the street for ten minutes and got fined ten yuan. I'm a delivery rider.]

So it was you! You made me wait a full ten minutes longer before I could eat!

[Holy crap, these aren't just luxury cars, they're the ultimate luxury cars, many of them are limited editions worldwide. What are they all doing out here?]

It seems like they're all heading in the same direction.

Do rich people not use the internet? Can someone rich explain what's going on here?

[I'm not exactly rich, but I know a bit of the truth. Let me put it this way: today is the birthday of some rich kid.]

Holy crap, who is it?!

Who is it?!

Who is it?!

A wave of excitement swept across the internet, with everyone speculating about the identity of this young master celebrating his birthday.

In the bay's mooring area, a five-story private luxury yacht is docked at the edge, waiting.

The coastal parking area is a breathtaking sight, filled with a dazzling array of top-of-the-line luxury cars. These aren't just cars; they represent enormous sums of money.

But the greatest wealth lies in this giant ship anchored on the sea.

The yacht birthday party was exceptionally grand this time, with attendees including not only wealthy young ladies and gentlemen from the entertainment circle, but also many famous actors, singers, models, and other celebrities.

Before the birthday party officially started, everyone consciously stayed on the first floor.

A bustling crowd, filled with the fragrance of fine clothes and the rustling of hair, consisted entirely of young, handsome men and beautiful women, each forming a group to chat and laugh.

Suddenly, the volume of the laughter and conversation dropped a notch, and then gradually, the sound stopped.

Everyone looked towards the stairwell.

Amidst the intense anticipation of the crowd, a woman slowly entered the stage, arm in arm with a man.

The man was tall and imposing, with his hair disheveled and swept back, his features handsome, and his almond-shaped eyes exuding a noble and sharp air.

Unbuttoning the black silk shirt below the collarbone accentuates a relaxed yet sophisticated vibe.

The woman had long, curly chestnut-brown hair, was alluring and beautiful, and had a cool and composed expression.

She wore a brown satin halter dress, paired with a set of simple yet elegant gold and diamond jewelry, which was neither too extravagant nor too stingy.

Everyone watched the two enter silently, each with their own emotions in their eyes.

Who is that?

"What do you mean?"

"That guy has such a strong presence; it seems like a lot of people are looking at him with awe. Aren't we here for Young Master Huo's birthday party? How come someone's stealing the spotlight?"

"You know the Li family, right? That should be Li He, one of the Li family's twins. He appears in public more often. The eldest son of the Li family rarely appears in public after he comes of age; he's very mysterious."

"Of course the Li family knows. Wow, no wonder they have such a strong aura. Just their appearance alone can intimidate the entire scene. The Li family already had a winning feeling with just one person, but they actually have another one."

He was on the fringes of the circle, and usually, people from higher-level circles wouldn't invite him. But this time, Huo Ran expanded his circle, which gave him the opportunity to meet people from these upper-class circles.

Moreover, the birthday party was attended by a host of beautiful women, leading many to speculate that the party was perhaps an attempt to select a concubine.

Therefore, many people secretly worked hard to make themselves look effortlessly beautiful, making today's scene even more lively than a celebrity gala.

In the corner, many people were also discussing the matter.

"Who is the woman next to Young Master He? I've never seen her before."

"I don't know, I've never seen him before. Where did this newcomer come from? Someone who looks like that shouldn't be unheard of."

"Exactly, could she be a minor celebrity?"

"Isn't it even stranger that Young Master He finally has a woman by his side?"

"Damn, it really is! Who is this woman? She's unusually well-liked by Young Master He's side. She must have quite a background."
