Ji Lun's cronies were all spoiled brats, including the long-faced Shen Lü, whom everyone called Big Donkey.
Da Lu and Ji Lun were the closest of friends; they had been inseparable since childhood and could even share a pot.
Hearing Ji Lun's words, he laughed out loud, "I knew you weren't being sincere. But seriously, the proposal scene I set up was so romantic, if it were any other woman, she would have said yes long ago."
Ji Lun toyed with his wine glass, pressed his tongue against his cheek, and said with a hint of pride, "You said yourself that she's just an ordinary woman, but Xu Qingyun is not."
Big Donkey nodded, "That's true. She once amazed the entire Cambridge. I still remember the scene when we strolled around Cambridge."
Ji Lun's memory drifted back, and clear images leaped into his eyes.
Xu Qingyun's delicate figure was wrapped in a light blue cheongsam, and her figure was exquisite and graceful. In particular, her swaying waist had stirred the hearts of many men.
That day, the sun shone brightly, and golden rays dappled down. She looked like a radiant fairy, and even just her silhouette was enough to make one's heart flutter.
Ji Lun jokingly called out, "Beautiful lady in cheongsam, turn around."
Xu Qingyun slowly turned her head, revealing a stunningly beautiful face that instantly captivated Ji Lun.
Da Lu didn't notice that Ji Lun was distracted and continued, "If it weren't for the fact that you, Young Master Ji, took a liking to Xu Qingyun at first sight, we would have pursued her long ago."
The others chimed in, "That's right, we like it too."
Ji Lun sneered, "It took me two years to win her over. Where do you get the confidence that you can win her over?"
"Yes, yes, we overestimated ourselves, okay? But Ji Lun, you can't really say you've got it, can you? You didn't even get a taste of it," Shen Lu teased.
The group of friends burst into laughter.
Ji Lun was somewhat embarrassed and sneered, "You don't know anything. I'm playing the long game. What kind of clean fish can you sleep with so easily?"
Shen Lu winked and said, "Young Master Ji, once you've got your hands on him and are tired of playing with him, we won't be so polite."
“Yes, Ji Lun, I also want to taste Xu Qingyun’s flavor. There are beautiful women around me wearing cheongsams, but I always feel that they are missing that charm.”
The young men spoke frivolously, their eyes carrying a hint of ambiguity.
Ji Lun's expression suddenly changed, as if he had instantly gone from the bright March to the dead of winter, his expression chilling and terrifying.
Bang!
Ji Lun kicked the coffee table in front of him aside and coldly warned, "Watch your mouths! She's not someone you can touch! If you dare insult Xu Qingyun again, I'll kill you!"
They were all caught off guard by his sudden outburst of anger.
Shen Lu asked, "Ji Lun, you wouldn't actually be falling for him, would you?"
Ji Lun scoffed, "How could that be? It's just a game, the novelty hasn't worn off yet."
"Why are you so anxious if you're not interested? Women are just clothes to us, something we can wear casually." Shen Lu pouted.
Ji Lun's gaze was sinister. "You can wear whatever you want, but not your underwear! I slept with Xu Qingyun, so she's mine. Even if I throw her away, no one else can pick her up, understand?"
After saying that, Ji Lun suddenly stood up and strode away.
He felt a lump in his throat, unable to breathe properly. He couldn't tell if it was because Xu Qingyun hadn't agreed to get back together with him, or because Shen Lu and the others had insulted Xu Qingyun with their words.

At the same time, Xu Jia was also in the City That Never Sleeps.
She and Li Nannan were sitting in the round booth, she was resting her chin on her hand, idly scrolling through her phone.
Xu Jia added Ji Lun on WeChat, but all her messages went unanswered.
Frustrated, Xu Jia angrily slammed her phone screen face down on the table.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw an exceptionally handsome man stride into the city that never sleeps, and she immediately narrowed her eyes.
It's that guy who's keeping Xu Qingyun as his mistress!
Xu Jia immediately called the manager over, "Bring me your top star!"
The manager nodded. "Okay, please wait a moment."
Li Nannan was a little surprised and cautiously reminded her, "Jiajia, aren't you about to marry the eldest son of the Ji family? It wouldn't be good if he saw you like this, would it?"
Xu Jia said with a mocking smile, "Of course I'm not interested in the male prostitutes here. I just want to pick up that bitch Xu Qingyun's lover so he can dump her."
Li Nannan opened her mouth, "Actually, it's really not necessary, is it?"
Actually, she felt that Xu Qingyun was a very good person. She was beautiful and had a great temperament. She was nothing like what Xu Jia said, who would steal or do something underhanded.
Xu Jia glared at Li Nannan fiercely, "Mind your own business! Xu Qingyun has always liked to go against me since we were little, taking away what belongs to me, and I can't stand to see her have it easy!"
Soon, a young man with slicked-back hair and a powdered face approached, bent down and presented a red rose, "Princess, please accept this."
Xu Jia frowned: "I want the top courtesan, what are you?"
The manager's face stiffened. "This is our top star."
"And what about him?" Xu Jia pointed in Ji Hanchen's direction.
The manager was shocked: "You...you're crazy?! How could that guy be our top star?!"
After a pause, the manager straightened up, his face full of warning, "Miss Xu, please watch your mouth, or you'll bring disaster upon us!"
Xu Jia jumped up and demanded, "What do you mean? What do you mean by 'life-threatening danger'? Who is that person? Is he from the underworld?"
The manager snapped, "You'd better go ask him yourself. All I can tell you is that guy is far more terrifying than any underworld boss!"
The manager ran away as soon as he finished speaking, afraid that he would suffer if he stayed even a second longer.
Xu Jia gritted her teeth in hatred and asked in a sinister tone, "That man wasn't a male prostitute here? Li Nannan, explain yourself clearly, what exactly happened!"
