Xi Youlin pretended to cough lightly and suppressed his laughter: "Women are not easy to please. A bouquet of flowers, a limited edition bag, a necklace or other luxury bags will immediately achieve twice the result with half the effort and guarantee immediate success."

"But... someone like my sister-in-law, who has such a great temperament and coolness, probably wouldn't be interested in luxury items like bags."

"Can you tell me something useful?"

"I'm just helping you analyze it, don't worry." Xi Youlin touched his nose and said, "How about Brother Zhan, why don't you try the flower? Maybe it will work."

"flower?"

"Yes." Xi Youlin said seriously: "Think about it, sister-in-law has always been cold and indifferent, and she must disdain vulgar things, but what if we want to do the opposite? Look, this is the first time you give flowers to a woman. Although I don't know whether sister-in-law's ex-boyfriend has given her flowers, and whether it is the first time to receive flowers, but if sister-in-law knew that she was the first person you gave flowers to, she would definitely be very happy."

"The less nonsense you can say, the better."

Xi Youlin on the other end of the phone was so scared that he shuddered. Even through the screen, one could imagine how ugly his face was when he said this.

As soon as he turned around, a familiar figure walking towards him attracted his attention.

Behind the woman was a handsome boy in casual clothes, who seemed to be in his early twenties, with his head down, as if he was obeying a scolding.

"Hey, isn't this Miss Tao? What a coincidence."

When he was about to pass by him, Xi Youlin spoke at the right time, and his joking and teasing voice echoed long and deep outside the corridor of the private room.

Tao Anwen stopped and looked over, frowning slightly, imitating his tone and mocking him: "Tsk, isn't this Mr. Xi San? What a coincidence."

Xi Youlin snorted, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, put one in his mouth, and didn't even take out a lighter to light it.

Her lazy and affectionate peach blossom eyes flickered slightly, and glanced at the sunny and handsome boy beside her: "Who is this boy?"

"What's it got to do with you?" The young man, full of blood and energy, walked forward impatiently and looked him up and down: "What's your relationship with my sister?"

"Oh, so this is the young master of the Tao family." Xi Youlin was not angered by his words. He nodded in sudden realization, with an uninhibited smile on his lips.

"Who are you?" Tao Anchen crossed his arms and glanced at him sideways with displeasure.

Tao Anwen frowned, patted the back of his head, and pulled him back by the collar: "You didn't listen to what I just said to you, did you?"

"Sister, there are outsiders here, can't you give me some face?" Tao Anchen touched the back of his head that was slapped and complained quite aggrievedly.

"You still want face? If you care about face, you will appear here? You will let me come all the way to catch you? You don't study hard all day, you don't know what to do, and I still expect you to inherit the family business. It's good enough that you don't squander it all."

"Who said I didn't study hard? I took first place in the school's last monthly exam, but the old man didn't seem very happy. On the contrary, Tao Liyang ranked fifth from the bottom in the school, which was three places higher than last time. He was so happy that his face was shining. He must be sick."

Tao Anchen tilted his head in dissatisfaction and muttered softly.

"Are you studying for him? What you read is yours and cannot enter his stomach, so why do you care so much about him?" Tao Anwen pursed her lips, knowing that he was hit by this obvious favoritism, and her voice became much softer.

"You just need to know that you are the eldest son of our Tao family, and Chen Man and her son will never be able to surpass us."

Tao Anwen's expression darkened, and she raised her hand and knocked on his head again: "This is a matter between us adults. You little brat just need to study hard. Hurry back to school. Uncle Liu is waiting for you outside. I'm warning you, Tao Anchen, if I get another call from Teacher Liang saying that you skipped class, I don't mind breaking your legs. Our Tao family is more than enough to support a disabled person."

Tao Anchen: “…”

He didn't dare to question it, he believed that his sister could do what she said.

After all, he was beaten by his sister since he was a child.

He knew very well how ruthless his sister was.

Tao Anchen curled his lips and glanced at Xi Youlin who had been watching the show. He felt a little embarrassed, so he straightened his back and glared at him: "What are you looking at, huh."

Xi Youlin sneered and did not take his bluffing attitude to heart. After watching him leave, his deep peach blossom eyes fell on Tao Anwen's beautiful profile with skin as white as cream, and he took the cigarette from his lips.

"Why? Your Tao family is also interested in forming an alliance with the Rong family?"

Tao Anwen turned around and glanced at him coldly: "What does it have to do with you?"

"Heh, you two siblings have exactly the same temperament." He smiled calmly, "That old man Rong Chong was kicked out of the family tree by Old Madam Rong a long time ago, and now he has nothing to do with the Rong family. Your Tao family is somewhat at a disadvantage by marrying into their family."

"Whether I suffer a loss or not is none of Mr. Xi's business. You don't need to remind me." Tao Anwen snorted lightly, with a look of disapproval on her face.

Xi Youlin twirled the cigarette in his hand, his peach blossom eyes showing obvious deep meaning, staring at her calmly, with the corners of his lips slightly raised: "Whether the Tao and Rong families marry or not, who will suffer more, this kind of thing really has nothing to do with me. However, if the marriage partner is you, then it really matters a little bit."

Tao Anwen raised her eyebrows, and was aroused a little interest by his words. She walked towards him with her red lips pursed, and leaned her slender hands on the wall, looking up at him in an absolute wall-dong posture.

"Oh, funny, it has something to do with you. Mr. Xi San said this so ambiguously, could it be that he is interested in me?"

Xi Youlin was stunned for a moment, and suddenly the same scene as in the past emerged in his mind. It was still the pretty and charming face in front of him, but without the drunkenness and confusion of that day, and now it was more strong and domineering.

He laughed, put his arm around her waist and turned her gently, then leaned closer to her, slightly tightening his hand around her waist while supporting himself against the wall.

"Ms. Tao is so skilled at doing wall-dong, it seems this is not her first time."

"Mutual at once. Mr. Xi's wall-dong technique is not bad either." Tao Anwen was slightly stunned. A faint mint scent mixed with a strong aroma of wine spread through her nostrils. She felt a familiar feeling in her heart, as if she had smelled it somewhere before, but she could not find any memory of it in her mind.

It was like the familiar feeling I had when we first met in the restaurant last time, very subtle and came for no apparent reason.

After coming to her senses, she pushed him away, glanced at his handsome face with charming eyes, and left calmly without entangled with him for too long.

Xi Youlin narrowed his eyes slightly, glancing at her charming and graceful back as she disappeared around the corner. He took out his cell phone and dialed a number: "Go check if Taoyuan Wine Group and the second branch of the Rong family have any intention of marriage."
