The lights along the lake swayed in the breeze, reflecting the shimmering light on the lake's surface.
Lin Yuan led Xia Qingxue away from the lakeside.
His figure was tall and upright, and every step he took exuded an aura that could not be underestimated, as if the whole world was at his feet.
Xia Qingxue followed beside him, her eyes filled with confusion, yet she dared not ask any questions.
Her long hair swayed gently in the wind, as if it were tinged with a mysterious color by the gradually changing sunset.
Xu Lan stood there, looking at Lin Yuan's back with a complicated expression.
Then, a slight upturn of his lips revealed a teasing smile.
"Brother Tianyi, if... Brother Linyuan asks you to be nice to other women, are you really going to abandon me too?"
Her voice was joking, yet also hinted at a probing tone.
Li Tianyi's expression instantly turned somewhat awkward, and he quickly waved his hand.
"No, no, how could Young Master Lin do that? You're the only one I've ever loved."
When he spoke, his eyes darted around, as if he was deliberately avoiding something.
Xu Lan, however, was not buying it. Her smile deepened, but her eyes turned cold.
"Li Tianyi, don't lie to me. Brother Lin Yuan has been kind to you; everything you have is from him. Maybe one day, he'll let you pursue another woman, and you'll forget all about me."
In the afterglow of the sun, her words were like a knife, stabbing straight into Li Tianyi's heart.
Li Tianyi's face turned pale instantly, and he subconsciously retorted, "Lanlan, how could you think like that? My feelings for you are real, how could I abandon you for Lin Yuan?"
His voice was hurried, and his eyes were full of panic.
Xu Lan merely gave a cold laugh.
"Ha, Li Tianyi, don't give me that nonsense. Who is Brother Lin Yuan? One word from him and you'd forget who you are. If you really like me, prove it to me."
Li Tianyi was speechless after Xu Lan's words. He stood there, his eyes filled with confusion.
All his wealth and status were given to him by Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan had been kind to him, and he could never repay him in this lifetime.
However, he really liked Xu Lan, and he didn't want to lose her because of Lin Yuan.
Just as Li Tianyi was caught in a dilemma, Xu Lan stood on tiptoe without saying a word and kissed his lips fiercely.
Her movements were forceful, as if she wanted to pour all her dissatisfaction and grievances into this kiss.
Li Tianyi was startled by this sudden action. He instinctively wanted to push Xu Lan away, but he couldn't bear to.
Xu Lan's kiss deepened, her hands tightly wrapped around Li Tianyi's neck, trying to merge him into her body.
Li Tianyi's breathing became more and more rapid, but his heart was full of contradictions.
He liked Xu Lan, but he couldn't betray Lin Yuan.
Not knowing what to do, he could only let Xu Lan's kisses ravage his lips.
Finally, Xu Lan released Li Tianyi, her face flushed, but her eyes were full of coldness.
"Brother Tianyi, if you really like me, don't let me see you with other women again. Otherwise, I won't let you off the hook."
Her voice was cold, yet it carried an undeniable authority.
At this moment, she actually resembled Lin Yuan somewhat...
On the other side, Lin Yuan brought Xia Qingxue to the Patek Philippe luxury store.
This is a renowned top-tier luxury store located in Linjiang.
The signboard at the entrance gleamed golden in the sunlight, silently proclaiming its luxury and prestige.
This was Lin Yuan's first time entering such a place. He had assumed that with his status, entering such a shop would be an easy task.
However, as soon as he and Xia Qingxue stepped into the store, two uniformed employees walked towards them.
There was a subtle distance in their tone.
"Dear Sir/Madam, welcome to Patek Philippe. According to our store regulations, a simple asset verification is required before entering. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation."
Upon hearing this, Xia Qingxue's expression stiffened slightly. She involuntarily looked at Lin Yuan, a faint worry flashing in her eyes.
Lin Yuan simply responded with a calm smile.
He slowly took out his phone from his pocket and dialed a familiar number: "Hello, this is Lin Yuan. I'm currently at Patek Philippe. Could you please send my proof of assets over as soon as possible?"
On the other end of the phone, a clear and respectful voice quickly responded, readily agreeing to Lin Yuan's request.
Twenty minutes later, a woman in business attire jogged to the store entrance.
She was tall and slender with delicate features. Her well-tailored suit made her look capable and professional.
The woman, holding a thick document, quickly walked up to Lin Yuan and bowed slightly: "Mr. Lin, this is your asset certificate. Please sign for it."
Lin Yuan took the document, flipped through a few pages casually, and then handed it to the shop assistant: "This is my asset certificate. You can verify my assets now."
The clerk took the document, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then he turned page after page, his expression gradually becoming serious.
When she saw that the Wanzhong Shopping Mall Linjiang Store was entirely owned by Lin Yuan, she couldn't help but gasp – assets exceeding 100 million!
This figure seemed astronomical to her, enough to put the reach of any top luxury store's customers in the dust.
The manager of Patek Philippe arrived quickly after hearing the news. Upon seeing Lin Yuan's asset certificate, a look of shock instantly appeared on his face.
He quickly walked up to Lin Yuan, his face beaming with smiles.
"Mr. Lin, we are so sorry. What happened just now was due to our employee's negligence. We are truly sorry that we caused you such an injustice, given your distinguished status!"
