Chapter 8 Miss Shen won't cheat on you.
Su Youling felt a sharp pain in her heart.
She faced setbacks everywhere in her efforts to salvage the company's losses, and her decision to lower herself to seek help at a nightclub was out of desperation. Lin Lexi's few words of instigation were enough for him to dismiss all her efforts and sacrifices with a single sentence: "Disgraceful."
Faced with the man's disgusted attitude, her eyes grew even more stubborn: "I got here through my own abilities, it has nothing to do with you."
"Shut up!" The woman's repeated disobedience made Li Tingxi even angrier. He forcibly grabbed her hand and tried to leave, ignoring Lin Lexi's shouts.
Unexpectedly, the young master, who had been silently watching the show, suddenly stood up and blocked their way. "Miss Chen, didn't you want to buy me for one night?"
Ding Muyan suddenly showed great interest in Su Youling. "I agree, let's go."
Everyone was shocked.
Su Youling was stunned for only a moment before nodding.
She was too lazy to argue with Li Tingxi anymore. Regardless of what the young master thought, she had finally achieved her goal for tonight.
The next second, her wrist was gripped tightly, and she couldn't break free at all.
The cold, oppressive atmosphere in Li Tingxi's eyes was almost tangible as he warned in a low voice, "You dare! Who gave you the audacity to take my money and squander it? Don't forget your current status; we're not divorced yet!"
"Let go." Su Youling frowned slightly, her face showing aloofness and indifference, as she felt pain from being pinched.
These words undoubtedly provoked Li Tingxi, and his anger instantly reached its peak. He tried to pull the person away without any attempt to stop him.
He was very strong, and Su Youling struggled but couldn't break free. Just when she was helpless, Ding Muyan stood in front of the two of them with a smile.
"Mr. Li, you're not in charge here tonight."
“She is my wife, of course I have the final say.” Li Tingxi’s expression was unfriendly, his sharp gaze shooting at the person blocking his way. “Does Young Master Ding intend to interfere in our private affairs?”
Ding Muyan's amused gaze swept back and forth between the two, completely unfazed by their words.

"Of course I can't interfere in her private affairs, but this beauty wants to buy me for one night, so I can't just sit idly by, can I? Mr. Li, why don't you ask her who she'd like to go with?"
Two urgent gazes fell on her at the same time. Su Youling didn't know what Li Tingxi had gone crazy for, but she only had a week left, and Ding Muyan was her only breakthrough.
“I’ll go with you.” Su Youling turned to the Crown Prince and, taking advantage of Li Tingxi’s moment of surprise, gently pulled her hand away.
The young men who had gathered together immediately whistled a lewd tune and started to make a fuss.
Su Youling thought for a moment, and since she was still married, she explained, "We're just discussing a collaboration, I'll be leaving in a bit."
Then he turned around, ignoring the sound of shattering glass behind him.
"I didn't expect Mrs. Li to be in such high spirits. Could it be that Mr. Li can't satisfy you, so you've come to me specifically to beg for his favor?"
As soon as she stepped out of the private room, Su Youling heard Ding Muyan's sarcastic words. She didn't explain, but instead gave him a faint smile. "Young Master Ding promised to sell me for one night, he can't go back on his word, can he?"
"I always keep my word."
"So, this is how Young Master Ding speaks to his sugar daddy?"
Ding Muyan paused slightly, then sneered, "Everyone outside says Mrs. Li is gentle and elegant, but I didn't expect her to be so sharp-tongued in person..."
He looked the man up and down, his eyes filled with blatant contempt.
"Rumors are obviously unreliable, and Young Master Ding surprised me as well." Su Youling retorted, walking towards another private room on her own, completely unconcerned about whether the people behind her would follow.
She had inquired before coming that Ding Muyan was unrestrained and dissolute outside, but his word was as good as gold.
That seems to be true at present.
Ding Muyan choked, but the amusement in his eyes grew even stronger.
He entered the room and sat down on the sofa, propping his head up with one hand. He looked at the woman opposite him with a teasing smile and said, "Mrs. Li, what's next? You're dressed quite provocatively. How about a striptease first?"
Su Youling was already mentally prepared and didn't take offense at the insulting words. Instead, she took out the design plan that she had prepared in advance.
She cut to the chase: "Young Master Ding is a smart man. Your previous collaboration with Donglin was mostly due to their design proposals. But I think you know where those designs came from. In our industry, design is the driving force. In the long run, Donglin is not the best choice..."
Su Youling handed over the design drawings, which Ding Muyan glanced at casually. At first, he was very impatient, but gradually he couldn't help but continue looking at them.
This seemingly hot and frivolous director, Shen, actually produces incredibly exquisite designs. Design is not just about a gorgeous appearance; the most touching designs are those that the designer imbues with a unique soul.
These seemingly ordinary and plain lines outline not only the dazzling lines of jewelry, but also the spiritual connotations inherent in its beauty.
Unconsciously, Ding Muyan abandoned his initial disdain, stood up and leaned towards Su Youling, his eyes filled with an appreciation he himself didn't realize. "Director Shen has truly exceeded my expectations..."
Bang!
Their conversation was suddenly interrupted, and they both looked towards the door.
Li Tingxi's face was gloomy, and his expression turned cold when he saw how close the two of them were.
Upon closer inspection, the two were neatly dressed and holding design drafts, indicating they were indeed discussing a collaboration. He slightly suppressed his anger.

meaning.
Behind him, Lin Lexi caught up, panting, "Tingxi, wait for me! I believe Miss Shen won't cheat on you..."
"Wait outside." The man's cold voice made Lin Lexi pause. Before she could say anything more, her view was blocked by the tightly closed door.
After calming himself down, Li Tingxi saw Su Youling's fair and slender legs and felt a strange sense of annoyance rise in his heart.
He silently took off his coat, which covered most of her body.
Su Youling secretly rolled her eyes. What was wrong with this guy again? Why did he abandon his perfectly good new love and come to get in the way?
Fortunately, he didn't act crazy again, so Su Youling simply ignored him and continued explaining her plan.
Ding Muyan pondered for a moment, then raised an eyebrow. "The design is good, but that alone is not enough to make me give up Donglin and choose you. So, shall we stop here for today?"
Su Youling was startled and somewhat flustered. She hadn't expected that the Crown Prince Yaosheng would be so difficult to deal with.
She spoke to the best of her ability, explaining that if the new design didn't impress him, and revising it would take time, she didn't know when she would be able to meet him again.
That week later...
Ding Muyan no longer wanted to talk about it.
Li Tingxi glanced at the disappointment in Su Youling's eyes and spoke slowly, "Young Master Ding, you should know better than me—in terms of the luxury goods market, Donglin's strength is incomparable to Li's Jewelry. Moreover, Director Shen's designs are unique and attract attention in the industry; this alone is something Donglin can't match..."
Su Youling was stunned for a moment, not expecting him to speak up for her.
Seeing the man's indifferent expression, she shook her head. How could Li Tingxi possibly come all the way here to help her?
It was simply to win back Yaosheng, a major client.
