Jiu Li continued to stuff cake into her mouth, wondering why all the annoying flies around her had disappeared.
Yes, to her, these handsome men with good family backgrounds were like flies.
They're so annoying, they're ruining my cake. If Ye Xingchen hadn't made a pact with her before we came, she probably would have kicked one of them away and taught these men a lesson in no time.
Hmm, this cake is pretty good.
"Hello, I'm Xia Hongyuan." The man stepped forward, smiling slightly, revealing a smile that no woman could resist.
He was very confident because he believed that no girl could resist his smile.
Jiu Li nodded politely and continued to stuff cake into her mouth. She didn't care at all whether the man was handsome or had a charming smile.
After all, in her eyes, only Ye Xingchen was the only person of the opposite sex worthy of her attention.
She had absolutely no interest in the man in front of her whose suit alone was worth hundreds of millions.
The man was not discouraged by the sight. He smiled slightly, took out a tissue, and handed it to Jiu Li.
Jiu Li's mouth was full of cream, and her focus was entirely on the dry cake. She paid no attention to the cake the man offered her.
Seeing this, Xia Hongyuan smiled good-naturedly and said, "You have cream on your lips, come here."
He stepped forward with a tissue and carefully wiped the cream off Jiu Li's lips. His gentle and attentive manner was enough to make any woman fall for him.
This man is the prince charming in most women's hearts.
The men who had been fawning over Jiu Li earlier shook their heads and sighed when they saw this scene. They knew that another girl was about to be defiled by a beast.
Xia Hongyuan appeared to be a refined and cultured man, but he was a typical beast. He perfectly embodied the phrase "refined beast." He first attracted attention with his kind and handsome appearance, and then seduced girls.
He enjoys torture; the more a girl is tortured, the more excited he becomes.
Therefore, every girl dragged out of his room was covered in blood, with not a single piece of flesh intact on her body.
But this guy happens to have an excellent family background, and whenever problems arise, his family will do everything they can to suppress them.
The Xia family of Jinling may not be considered particularly outstanding, but Xia Hongyuan had two good maternal uncles, the Liang brothers, Liang Chengji and Liang Chenghu.
To get back to the point, Xia Hongyuan's actions were undoubtedly gentle, but no matter how gentle he appeared, his heart was incredibly dark.
Moreover, Jiu Li has a kind heart; she can sense the malice directed at her by those around her.
So the moment Xia Hongyuan touched her, her body trembled, and her emotions tensed instantly.
Her instinct was to reach out and fling the guy away, but remembering the three rules Ye Xingchen had made with her, she held back and instead of slapping the beast away, she gently pushed his hand away.
Xia Hongyuan remained undeterred. He believed that Jiu Li's actions towards him were merely a girl's reserve, and that in fact, the girl had already fallen for him.
"Let's get acquainted formally. My name is Xia Hongyuan, the future heir to the Jinling Xia Group. I've just returned from studying abroad." Xia Hongyuan extended his hand: "And you? What's your name?"
The combination of being a returnee from overseas and a future heir to a family business can significantly boost a person's net worth.
Jiu Li tilted her head and looked at the other person. She was thinking seriously. She felt that this fly in front of her was more annoying than the swarm of flies she had encountered before.
And does this fly think he's different? She's considering whether to slap him away and be done with it.
“I studied theology, and I believe in fate. I think it must be God’s will that I met you.” Xia Hongyuan launched another fierce offensive: “Really, before I met you, I felt like I had wasted the first twenty years of my life.”
Ye Xingchen walked over and looked at Jiu Li: "What's wrong?"
Jiu Li waved her hand and then made a few hand gestures, indicating that she was eating cake and had been disturbed by a fly.
Xia Hongyuan didn't understand sign language, and he didn't understand that Jiu Li's gestures meant she disliked him. He just looked at Jiu Li in surprise. How could such an incredibly beautiful girl not be able to speak?
But it doesn't matter, she's so beautiful, her innocent eyes reveal a pure and guileless quality. This kind of woman's flaws don't detract from her beauty, and he can accept her shortcomings.
“You can kick him out,” Ye Xingchen said with a smile.
Jiu Li shook her head and made a few more gestures, meaning that she had made a three-point agreement with Ye Xingchen, and that she could not hit people casually.
“Agreements are agreements, but if you really dislike someone, there’s no need to make yourself unhappy. Just do whatever makes you happy. If things go wrong, I’ll take responsibility,” Ye Xingchen said.
Jiu Li nodded. With Ye Xingchen's affirmation, she could be fearless.
"What do you mean?" Xia Hongyuan's expression changed. Although he couldn't understand sign language and couldn't figure out what Jiu Li's gestures meant.
However, he vaguely discerned a few meanings from Ye Xingchen's words.
That's the little girl in front of me, who finds him annoying and noisy.
“Oh, you can’t read sign language, but that’s okay, I can translate it for you.” Ye Xingchen said with a smile, “She means that she was bothered by a fly, and this fly is more annoying than the swarm of flies from before.”
Xia Hongyuan's face immediately fell, his expression extremely ugly. To be honest, he had almost never failed in his pursuit of women, and as the future heir of the Xia family, with such a connection to the Liang family, he never imagined that he would be called a fly.
"Do you know what you're saying?" Xia Hongyuan asked with a stern face.
"I know." Ye Xingchen nodded seriously.
"Then do you know who I am?" Xia Hongyuan's face darkened further. He didn't know who Ye Xingchen was. He frequented this place but had never seen Ye Xingchen before.
"I know, didn't you say so yourself? You're the future heir of the Xia Group." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly. "But as far as I know, the Xia Group has more than one heir, there's another one, your cousin Xia Chenggong, and he's even more outstanding than you."
"It's still uncertain which of you two will inherit the Xia Group in the future. But you are more outstanding than him. For example, your two uncles are surnamed Liang."
"It seems you know quite a bit about my identity." Xia Hongyuan's expression became somewhat uncertain.
“I know, he’s the eldest son of the Xia family, everyone knows him.” Ye Xingchen smiled and said to Jiu Li, “Jiu Li, look carefully, this person is called Xia Hongyuan, the eldest son of the Xia family. If you hate him, just shoo him away like you’re swatting a fly, understand?”
