"Get the hell out of here! She's my woman. Where is she? Take me to her right now!" Yu Changhe cursed and slapped his underling across the face.
"You've been arranged to stay in a private room, Young Master Yu, I'll take you there now." The underling grinned maliciously, covering his head, and led the way.
Inside a luxurious private room, Ye Xingchen and Liu Qingmei were already seated.
Liu Qingmei had almost never been to a place like this before. She looked around at everything, and listening to the faint groans coming from next door, her brows furrowed tightly.
She didn't like the atmosphere here, not at all.
"Aren't you used to the atmosphere here?" Ye Xingchen noticed that something was off about her mood.
"A den of iniquity." That was her assessment of the place.
"Ha, what you see is still considered normal." Ye Xingchen said with a smile, "You probably don't know, but that young master Yu's private room is the real den of iniquity. You can't even open your eyes when you go in there, it's too disgusting."
Liu Qingmei frowned. She should have had someone else bring Ye Xingchen.
"Are you classmates with this guy?" Ye Xingchen asked.
“Yes, we were high school classmates for three years.” Liu Qingmei seemed to recall something unpleasant, and then added, “That bastard deserves to go to hell.”
"A person you despise so much is definitely not a good person." Ye Xingchen smiled: "Don't worry, I'll send him to hell today."
“Oh no, sending him to hell would be too easy for him. Letting him die in fear is the best ending,” Ye Xingchen said after thinking for a moment.
"Are you serious?" Liu Qingmei glanced at Ye Xingchen and couldn't help but say, "You probably don't know the Yu family's influence in the black market."
“Yu Guanzhong’s status here is similar to that of my maternal grandfather, and over the years he has supported a puppet, always looking for an opportunity to replace the Chang family.”
"The people he supports are all fearless."
"I know." Ye Xingchen nodded. "So what? If I want to gain your grandfather's support, I have to clear all these obstacles for him first."
"Well, it seems you're not afraid of anything." Liu Qingmei hesitated, wanting to advise Ye Xingchen. The situation in the three provinces was quite complicated, but she didn't know where to begin. In the end, she could only sigh helplessly.
"What, are you worried about me?" Ye Xingchen said with a smile.
"Who would worry about you? You're overthinking it. We're just business partners." Liu Qingmei couldn't help but roll her eyes. She thought Ye Xingchen was being a bit too narcissistic.
"Sometimes you can't fool yourself," Ye Xingchen laughed heartily.
Just then, the door opened and a young man walked in; it was Yu Changhe.
"Qingmei, is that really you?" Yu Changhe greeted her with delight as soon as he entered the room. "I heard from the people downstairs that you had come, but I didn't quite believe it."
"Young Master Yu." Liu Qingmei nodded slightly and said calmly, "It's been a long time."
"Haha, why are you calling me Young Master Yu? That's a bit too formal. Come, come, sit down. Hey you, bring up my treasured wine. I'm going to have a good drink with Qingmei tonight." Yu Changhe turned to his underlings and ordered.
The younger brother bowed and left to get the wine, while Yu Changhe enthusiastically reached out to try and hold Liu Qingmei's hand.
Liu Qingmei dodged lightly, and the guy's hand missed. But he wasn't embarrassed. He rubbed his hands together, smelled the lingering fragrance from Liu Qingmei in the air, and greedily took a deep breath: "Qingmei, how long has it been since we last met?"
“The last time was five years ago when I visited my maternal grandfather’s house,” Liu Qingmei said calmly. “However, I was in a hurry at the time, so we only met briefly. It has been more than five years since we last met.”
“Five years, more than a thousand days and nights.” Yu Changhe sighed, “Qingmei, you have no idea how much I miss you. I even thought of going to the Liu family to find you before, but…”
"What do you want from me?" Liu Qingmei asked with a hint of sarcasm. "I'm engaged, and my Mr. Yu might not be someone you can afford to offend."
Yu Changhe was stunned for a moment, and his expression became somewhat embarrassed. Yes, he had pursued Liu Qingmei relentlessly.
He could look for Liu Qingmei in Black City, but he didn't even dare to set foot in Jiyang, because everyone knew that Jiyang was the territory of that Liu the Immortal.
He also knew that Liu Qingmei was the other party's possession, and the reason why he couldn't forget Liu Qingmei was not because he was particularly devoted to her, but because she was his goddess during his school days, and he wouldn't be satisfied if he didn't sleep with her at least once.
"No matter what, I'm very happy that you came to see me. Come on, let's have a couple of drinks." Yu Changhe gave his subordinate a wink, and the subordinate immediately understood. He opened a bottle of wine and added something to it while pouring.
This subordinate is known for his cunning; he moves so fast that it's almost impossible to see him. Such people are indispensable in nightclubs.
Ye Xingchen stood up and said with a smile, "What, am I invisible?"
"Who are you?" Yu Changhe was taken aback. He never expected there to be another person in the room. His expression became wary, and his face was full of vigilance.
It wasn't that he couldn't see Ye Xingchen, but rather that he had focused his attention on Liu Qingmei from the moment he entered, and he hadn't noticed who was around.
Ye Xingchen concealed his aura, and if he didn't speak, he would be almost invisible.
"Ye Xingchen," Ye Xingchen said earnestly.
"I don't know this place. Get out of here! Do you think you can just come here like this?" Yu Changhe was furious. He had prepared a good show, but he was extremely unhappy about being harassed.
“He came with me,” Liu Qingmei said calmly.
"Ah, it's your friend, Qingmei. You should have said so earlier." Yu Changhe was stunned for a moment, then had to suppress his anger: "Hey, you, your name is Ye Xingchen, right?"
"Yes, my name is Ye Xingchen." Ye Xingchen nodded.
"Qingmei and I have some important things to discuss. Please excuse us for a moment." He waved to his subordinate and said, "Arrange a private room for him and call the prettiest girl in the place."
"Yes, this way please." The subordinate walked to Ye Xingchen's side.
"Your wine is quite good." Ye Xingchen didn't touch it. He picked up the glass of red wine that his subordinate had just poured and swirled it in his hand. "It's a fine Romanée-Conti. It's a pity that it tastes different after being mixed with aphrodisiac. It has a bitter taste. Of course, most people can't tell."
The subordinate's expression changed drastically, and Yu Changhe's face darkened: "What nonsense are you spouting?"
"I said, the wine was mixed with a strong aphrodisiac, which will make it taste worse, you don't deny that, do you?" Ye Xingchen swirled the wine glass in his hand.
