Li Ruan deliberately asked him, "Are you taking me to meet your friends, Mr. Xi? Aren't you afraid your future girlfriend will be angry?"
Xi Leng: "Girlfriend?"
For some reason, his first reaction to the word "girlfriend" was rejection.
How could someone like him possibly find a girlfriend?
Isn't this harmful to people?
"I will never have a girlfriend."
Li Ruan smiled, revealing two deep dimples. That dog of a man is really stubborn. Fine, you won't have a girlfriend, huh? She made a mental note of it.
"Is Mr. Xi planning to sever all ties with love? No wonder the Xi family became number one in the country; now we finally understand why."
Xi Leng sensed something was off about those words. He had evidence, but he didn't know how to refute them.
“I’ve already said that as long as you behave well, I can extend the contract period. I don’t plan to find a girlfriend, and you won’t affect me.”
He thought Li Ruan would be happy to hear him say that, but Li Ruan immediately changed the subject, "Is it appropriate for me to wear this to meet your friends?"
"It's very pretty, why isn't it suitable?"
"By the way, I have a vacant villa in Yipin Lanting. It's just sitting there anyway. I had Secretary Dong handle the transfer this afternoon. Just leave your things on the coffee table and you can put them away yourself. That way, you'll finally have a house that truly belongs to you in Longcheng."
Well, although she refused, Xi Leng felt that she had followed him all along, and as long as she continued to obey, a house was really nothing.
The house she bought in the afternoon was for her family, not just for her.
Sure enough, Li Ruan found the document bag on the coffee table. The transfer procedures had been completed, and she just needed to pick up the property certificate in a few days.
After reading the documents, Li Ruan looked at Xi Leng, her beautiful peach blossom eyes full of smiles, "Mr. Xi, what should I do? I think I really can't live without you!"
He's such a brat, giving away properties worth hundreds of millions just like that, and he still says he has no feelings for her?
She wanted to see how long he could keep up his stubbornness.
Xi Leng looked up at her and saw that she was genuinely happy. He felt a strong sense of satisfaction. "I'm glad you like it."
...
Inside the exclusive private room on the eighth floor of the Grand Banquet Hall.
Pei Yizhi leaned back on the sofa, the top two buttons of his pink shirt undone, revealing most of his chest. His right arm was casually draped over the back of the sofa, and a cigarette was held between two fingers of his left hand. He had a wicked smile on his face, giving off a kind of refined scoundrel vibe. "Hurry up with Brother Leng and see where he is. Could he have changed his mind halfway through and not come?"
Feng Qingmo leaned back on the sofa, holding a string of emerald beads in one hand and gently rubbing them. "What's the rush? It's definitely on its way. He's not that stingy."
Fu Jingnian swirled the wine in his glass, tilted his head back, and downed more than half of the glass in one gulp. "How stingy of him! He actually told me I couldn't bring any female companions. I asked him if he was serious, but before he could say anything, what do you think he meant?"
Pei Yizhi suddenly became interested, sat up straight on the sofa, leaned forward and winked at Fu Jingnian, "You have a rich romantic history, analyze for us, what does our young master Xi mean by this?"
Fu Jingnian scoffed as he swirled the wine in his glass, "If you want to know what Brother Leng is thinking, you'll have to meet him in person."
Pei Yizhi looked disappointed and leaned back on the sofa. Just then, the door to the private room opened, and Xi Leng, with Li Ruan in tow, entered the room hand in hand.
Xi Leng said that Li Ruan didn't need to change her clothes, but she still had He Cheng send her a cheongsam.
He could never forget how stunning she looked in that jasmine-themed outfit on the second day they were together. So today, he brought her another exquisitely crafted, modernized cheongsam. It didn't have traditional frog buttons; instead, there was a cluster of evening primroses on the left shoulder, and two playful peacocks were embroidered on the dress starting from the waist. The skirt reached her calves, and the light gold cheongsam had golden embroidery, giving off a feeling of both charm and elegance, and making her look particularly sophisticated.
The reactions of the three people in the private room confirmed Xi Leng's judgment.
Fu Jingnian's eyes lit up immediately: "Brother Leng, where did you find such a stunning beauty? Her looks are truly unparalleled in my life!"
The key is that she has a better figure! Originally, some people said that the most beautiful woman in Longcheng was the one from the Yu family, but he felt that compared to the person in front of him, she was completely outshone.
No wonder Brother Leng took him in so easily; anyone would be confused in that situation!
Fu Jingnian was a womanizer but also valued rules. He could only glance at his brother's woman; he wouldn't stare at her for long. "Brother Leng, aren't you going to introduce her?"
Pei Yizhi also withdrew his gaze, secretly sighing that his brother was very fortunate.
The four of them grew up together since childhood. As they were all groomed to be heirs by their families, they had similar experiences in their childhood, being forced to accept elite education arranged by their families. They had to learn many things from the age of four or five and had no free time at all.
This is also the main reason why they can still become friends despite their very different personalities.
Xi Leng pulled Li Ruan to sit on the sofa and then introduced her, "This is Li Ruan, you can just call her by her name."
These three are my childhood friends; they're closer than blood brothers.
Pei Yizhi is the young master of Wanfu Jewelry. His father is addicted to fishing and takes leave every day, so he is the one who manages Wanfu Jewelry.
Fu Jingnian owns most of the clubs and bars in Longcheng, including the Grand Banquet Club.
He is still the heir of the Fu family.
Feng Qingmo's family is in the pharmaceutical business; he is currently the director of the largest private hospital in Longcheng, which is wholly owned by his family.
Speaking of this, he remembered what Li Ruan had said when they were chatting in the car: Every domineering CEO has a doctor friend by his side. Mr. Xi, do you have one?
Yes, Feng Qingmo is his doctor friend.
Fu Jingnian: "She looks a little familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen her before." How could he forget such a beautiful face? That's impossible!
Li Ruan laughed and said, "I am a star artist, but I am just an unknown 18th-tier celebrity. It is normal that President Fu does not remember me."
Just then, the bracelet on her wrist flashed again, and that childish voice rang in her mind again, "Master, this guy is no good. You and he did that, and he actually..." He didn't even give her the title of girlfriend.
When did you wake up?
Li Yu dared not utter a sound. It had woken up at noon, but it had blocked out its five senses because there were some things it shouldn't have seen. It only unblocked them when it entered the club just now. After all, it was still young and a bit curious. This was its first time in a place like the club, so of course it wanted to take a good look.
Then they discovered that their master's Daoist partner didn't seem to be up to the task.
"Don't interfere in my affairs with him. Anyway, he's good-looking and has a lot to offer, and I don't need to get involved in his romantic relationships. I'm more than happy about it."
Li Yu is Li Ruan's natal magic weapon, a spirit sword, which was born when she advanced to the Nascent Soul stage.
