"Instead of wasting time with me here, it's better to just part ways and live happily ever after."
"You said yourself that you never wanted to see me again."
"I won't bother you, and you don't have to interfere with my life anymore."
"You won't pester me?!" Pei Yucheng acted as if he had just heard some ridiculous joke, the smile on his lips tinged with sarcasm. "At today's chaebol banquet, from the moment you entered the card room, you've been flirting with that guy surnamed Fu. Aren't you just trying to get my attention?! You succeeded, Ji Yuqi. I will definitely pay close attention to you, just as you wish, without missing a single inch."
Ji Yuqi was immediately furious when he heard this: "Do you even understand what I'm saying?! I told you not to bother me and Fu Sheng anymore, but who told you to pay attention?! Your wedding to Ning Ruyan is approaching, and you're already married, yet you're still entangled with another woman. If she gets wind of this, what will she think?! What's more, Pei Yucheng, my fiancé isn't as bad as you think, someone who can be manipulated at will. Isn't the 5% economic power I lost tonight a lesson enough?!"
Ji Yuqi was hysterical with every word of this sentence.
Notice? !
Who wants him to pay attention?
Please ignore her.
Please pay no attention to her.
and--
It was not known whether it was because Ji Yuqi's words were too disrespectful, but Pei Yucheng's face suddenly became overcast with dark clouds, reaching its darkest point.
His beautiful thin lips were even pursed into a straight line.
Realizing that the situation was not good, Ji Yuqi wanted to escape.
However, before she had run a few steps, the man who had been keeping several meters away from her suddenly grabbed the woman who was trying to escape with bloodshot eyes, like a cheetah pouncing on its prey.
Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that some of the onlookers had pulled out their phones, seemingly intending to record the scene. He immediately shouted angrily, "Get out of here, everyone!"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed at the camera above his head.
Almost instantly, all the onlookers understood his subtext: they would hold everyone accountable based on the cameras.
Three seconds.
The supermarket entrance was empty and silent.
When Ji Yuqi's jaw was pinched hard by Pei Yucheng again, she almost instinctively wanted to open her mouth and bite.
However.
Pei Yucheng suddenly retracted the strength of his fingers.
Ji Yuqi suddenly felt as if his jaw was about to dislocate.
The pain is excruciating.
Tears are about to roll down.
Pei Yucheng pinched the woman's cheek, forcing her to meet his gaze, and said word by word, "That little bit of power is only worth the attention of those small, underprivileged families. How much do you think I want it? You're actually using it to threaten me? Believe it or not, I have a hundred ways to make them return all their autonomy with interest!"
"Fu Sheng is nothing but a thing in your eyes."
"In my opinion, crushing him to death is easier than crushing an ant."
"I can get him into the imperial clan, but I can also get him kicked out immediately. Do you want to witness with your own eyes how he rolls out of the imperial capital in a ball?!"
Although what Pei Yucheng said was true.
But.
Too arrogant.
After all, the king of Country Z’s surname is “Lian”, not “Pei”.
We're both top chaebols, and we've all contributed to Country Z's economy and national development. Why should Pei Yucheng be considered superior?!
Ji Yuqi struggled to free himself from Pei Yucheng's grip, not needing him to pinch her at all. She looked him straight in the eye. "Lord Pei has immense power, so he naturally has the ability to force everyone out of the imperial capital. But... there's no need to belittle others. Have you asked Lian Cong?! Between you and the Fu family, are you sure Lian Cong will support you 100% without hesitation?! Even if the Lian family supports you, what about the Mo family?! And what about the other two royal families?! Are they all centered around your Pei family?!"
