◎You'll only sell if you're tied to me.

"You?" I was extremely surprised, but I couldn't find any reason to refute Ye Fenglin's reason.
I admit that I did try to stimulate Jiang Mingzhuo, who was still unconscious, but he didn't react at all, so I put my doubts aside.
Later, I had some mixed feelings about Ye Fenglin, but I really didn't want to take responsibility for him.
Ye Fenglin suddenly spoke up at this moment: "It's so cold outside, let's talk in the car, Xiao Fu."
I bent down to stroke the two puppies, looked at him, and nodded silently.
Xie Yong's exceptionally cute Samoyed was very attached to Ye Fenglin at the moment. It first rubbed its fluffy tail against Ye Fenglin's leg, and then cleverly nudged me toward the passenger seat. The other Bernese Mountain Dog was even more perceptive and bit my bag.
The puppy was very enthusiastic, and I couldn't refuse any longer, so I got into the car.
Ye Fenglin smiled smugly as he watched me get into the car. He even started the engine right away, giving it full power. Before I could react, I looked at him and said, "Weren't you going to talk to me in the car?"
“It’s no fun just sitting here talking. You must be hungry after a long day. I’ve booked a restaurant so we can eat and chat at the same time.”
Ye Fenglin is a pure, proactive, and enthusiastic man. I couldn't resist him at all. He was like two dogs sitting in the back seat, sincere and adorable. I watched him drive, and when he felt my gaze, he turned his head and even smiled at me.
Remembering that Lin Jindong was coming to pick me up, I quickly lowered my head and sent him a message saying that I was having dinner with my classmates today and would come back to see him later.
Ye Fenglin glanced sideways and saw that sentence. He then asked me bluntly, "Have you changed your date?"
"Do you think someone of your status should be bothered by this kind of thing?" I looked at him intently.
Ye Fenglin raised an eyebrow and curled his lips into a smile. "That's not wrong. I'm the third party. He's the one you're openly dating."
The car drove all the way to the vicinity of the bridge.
There are many upscale restaurants and luxury stores here. Ye Fenglin led me in with ease. This restaurant clearly operates on a VIP system and is not open to the public. The corridor is filled with layers of crystal chandeliers, which shimmer on the ground.
The room features three floor-to-ceiling windows, offering panoramic views of the black steel bridge and the surrounding scenery, showcasing the unique luxury and style of the Imperial State.
A huge long table was set with beautiful and exquisite tableware. The restaurant's waiters and chefs lined up on both sides, bowing respectfully upon seeing Ye Fenglin. Even the little dogs were well taken care of by the waiters, who prepared a healthy and delicious dinner for them.
“It’s just the two of us tonight,” Ye Fenglin said, taking the initiative to pick up the red wine from the ice bucket and pour two glasses for him and me.
I watched him silently.
The amount of money Ye Fenglin spent on me was obvious to everyone. Even the latest vintage of this red wine would cost hundreds of thousands of yuan, but he did it as casually as if he were buying a cup of coffee on the street.
His style was completely different from that of Jiang Zhao, Jiang Mingzhuo, and Xie Yong.
These three men were used to giving me large credit cards or buying me a lot of luxury goods, but they never gave me any cash or fixed assets. I only had the right to use their cars and houses, but not the right to dispose of them.
I understand their intentions. If these movable assets are registered in my name, I can cash them out at any time and run away.
Their controlling nature will never allow me any chance to breathe freely.
Ye Fenglin is different.
The Hermes, Patek Philippe, Dior... and even the Porsche parked near my school that he gave me are all registered in my name. Even if we have a falling out today, these things are gifts from him, unlike money transfers or purchases that can be recovered at any time.
Ye Fenglin swirled his wine glass at me. "Xiao Fu, I'm sincere towards you. No matter what methods I use to get close to you, I only have two purposes."
"What is the purpose?" Actually, I had guessed it, but it was obviously Ye Fenglin who would put the power in my hands rather than me saying it.
Ye Fenglin said, "First of all, I don't want to leave you. I have the ability and I can make money. I will inherit my father's law firm and join the Xie family's campaign team. I can use all the money I earn to support you."
This offer isn't tempting at all. I have very little desire for luxury goods, and I'm even less interested in spending money. Besides, what does Ye Fenglin's success have to do with me? If he gets tired of me, he won't lose anything by dumping me.
"Secondly, Yong and I will take turns serving you, and we'll be there whenever you call. You can't dump me just because you like him a little more."
I remained unmoved by this, but I knew that men were not people I could easily dismiss with a few words, so my silence was probably interpreted by Ye Fenglin as tacit agreement.
He smiled. "Then let's enjoy dinner now, Xiao Fu."
The red wine was rich and captivating, but I was worried that drinking too much would make me lose my senses, so I only took a few sips.
I looked at Ye Fenglin. He was staring straight at me, his finger to his lips, his eyes slightly upturned. Gone was his usual cheerful and easygoing demeanor; he seemed rather unpredictable.
He stared at me in silence for a long time before finally breaking the silence, "Xiao Fu, I..."
"Why do you like me?" I interrupted him. "Correction, you're interested in me. I imagine there must be quite a few pretty girls around you."
The ring on Ye Fenglin's finger was simple, understated, but very beautiful.
He lowered his fingers and said to me, "I knew you first, Xiao Fu."
...
Ye Fenglin looked at the girl in front of him with some nervousness.
She was still slender and frail, which immediately reminded him of how he first met her.
That was after Ye Fenglin had become the most irresponsible lawyer in the family.
He rarely went to the law firm, and Ye's father was helpless about it. Fortunately, he also raised Fu Yue, who was loyal to the Ye family. Fu Yue was practically Ye Fenglin's half-brother. He was excellent in his profession and turned a blind eye to his own son, Ye Fenglin.
Ye Fenglin remembered that it was a day at the end of July.
He was in his office when his assistant told him that a wealthy woman wanted to consult about divorce. Ye Fenglin had seen many such women; they usually had evidence of their husbands' infidelity, and no matter how pitiful they sounded, it was ultimately about dividing up the family property.
"Let her in."
To Ye Fenglin's surprise, she was indeed very beautiful, with a delicate and pure face and eyes that possessed an innocent beauty. Even with her brows slightly furrowed, she was still irresistibly beautiful.
"...Hi." Ye Fenglin looked like a college freshman five or six years ago. He looked at the woman in front of him and even subtly adjusted his posture and demeanor.
He was always the most popular man in social circles, impeccable in both appearance and family background, yet at this moment, he was somewhat nervous.
Although the dazzling ring on the woman's ring finger foreshadowed the extraordinary status of the man she was marrying, Ye Fenglin didn't care at all. He didn't think he would lose to that man.
"Hello," the woman replied politely.
It has to be said that the lingering melancholy about her was truly captivating. Ye Fenglin had seen countless wealthy women whose marriages were in trouble. Although he was unruly and careless, he was still a top lawyer who had personally trained him, so he could naturally tell who was lying and could usually distinguish between truth and falsehood in the attitudes of those women.
The only woman in front of him made Ye Fenglin instinctively feel that the man was incompetent for letting such a beautiful girl suffer.
He patiently handed the woman lemon tea, flashing a charming smile: "Is there anything I can help you with..."
Ye Fenglin glanced at her and noticed the name she had filled in. He smiled and said, "Miss Jiang."
It seems that by not using the term "married," one can deceive oneself into believing that she is single.
Ye Fenglin thought to himself that no matter what divorce terms she wanted, he would agree to them, do his best to help her resolve the issue, and then, as a matter of course, let her marry him again.
"I want to ask how I can get a divorce from my husband."
"Your husband is cheating on you?"
"No."
"Did the investment fail? Or did they go bankrupt?"
"...No, not either."
"He abused you?"
Jiang Fu glanced at him and whispered, "No."
"Haha," Ye Fenglin found it amusing, having already considered the least likely reason, "He's incompetent?"
"..." She looked up at him. "No, I just wanted to ask you something. If you can't answer it, then forget it."
She was about to get up when Ye Fenglin quickly said, "Since the man is not at fault, then the woman must be at fault. Naturally, it must be one of the types I mentioned above. If you can do even one of those things, I think any man would be eager to push you away."
"You mean, cheating?" She paused, her eyes looking innocent and pitiful.
"You can choose me!" Ye Fenglin was about to speak up almost instantly, but his assistant had just sent him a message saying that the girl's name was Jiang Fu, and her husband was the richest man in the entire Empire State, Jiang Zhao.
No matter how much Ye Fenglin might be tempted, he would not go against a man at the top of the social class.
He and his father did indeed come from an elite family, belonging to the upper class that 99% of people could not afford to offend. However, above them were the most powerful 1% of the elite, and compared to them, the Ye family was nothing more than servants serving them.
Jiang Fu smiled gently. Ye Fenglin noticed that she wore a light gold necklace around her swan-like neck. He felt a surge of excitement and slowly approached her. "Miss Jiang, your necklace... seems to be loose."
"ah?"
"Let me put it on for you again." Ye Fenglin walked behind her. When his fingers touched her soft, tender skin and smelled the faint jasmine scent on her, he was completely captivated. He didn't have time to think about why she had divorced Jiang Zhao; he only hoped that this contact could be more frequent and last longer...
He even hoped to make her look less sad and upset.
Jiang Fu was completely unaware of his thoughts. She simply thanked him and left, leaving him standing there, lost in thought.
Several more months have passed.
During this time, Ye Fenglin kept a close eye on Jiang Zhao's situation, but no news came out at all.
Ha, maybe she just had a fight with her husband and was angry for a moment... How could any woman want to leave Jiang Zhao? Ye Fenglin fell into deep thought.
He met her again at the banquet on the day Xie Yong took office.
However, he only saw her back. She was sitting on Xie Yong's lap, and he turned his head to kiss her neck. With one hand, he was impatiently tugging at his tie and unbuttoning his shirt. His beautiful skirt was also pulled down to only half, around her slender waist.
Xie Yong held her firmly in his grasp, and a powerful urge surged toward Ye Fenglin, who was peeking through the door.
What? Ye Fenglin's eyes widened. No one would have imagined that the newly appointed mayor of the Empire State, who was so noble and arrogant just half an hour ago, would actually be having an affair with a married woman here without any regard for his reputation!
His feet felt like they were nailed to the ground. He wanted to rush in and save the melancholy and beautiful woman, but then he suddenly remembered the question Jiang Fu had asked him a few months ago.
She cheated on her husband... She wanted a divorce, so she found Xie Yong to be her shameful lover!
Why? Why? Ye Fenglin's body was tense.
Clearly, he was the one who met her first!
...
I didn't quite understand the meaning behind Ye Fenglin's words. But before I could ask, Ye Fenglin looked at me again with those warm, smiling eyes, so I simply stopped thinking about it.
When a man flirts with a woman, he always has countless reasons and excuses. If I were to ask him, he would just laugh and explain, "We met in a dream first."
I was worried that something might go wrong with Lin Jindong, so I kept checking the time while we ate. It was only 7 o'clock when I got up to leave.
Ye Fenglin seemed used to my actions, and he didn't seem to notice the untouched food on the table. His calm and open demeanor made me feel a little guilty. As if possessed, after I finished calling Lin Jindong to pick me up, I walked up to Ye Fenglin again.
I raised my hand and stroked his face.
It was like... how I usually play with my puppy. I first petted him, then gently pinched him. "I'll contact you. I'll be at the art museum these days. You can come find me if you're bored, but you can't let anyone see you."
Ye Fenglin's lips curled up slightly as he took my hand and kissed my fingertips.
I left the restaurant, but worried that Lin Jindong might become suspicious, so I went to the nearby subway station to wait for him.
A short while later, the car pulled up. I habitually opened the passenger side door. Lin Jindong's hair was impeccably styled, and he was wearing a well-fitting suit with a tanned wrist peeking out from the cuffs, sporting a Rolex watch.
He appeared rational, mature, and without any apparent unpleasantness.
I breathed a slight sigh of relief and sat down, but his hand suddenly reached out and grabbed my chin.
"You have a smell that I hate." His eyes were sharp like a hawk's, looking down at me.
“I ate a burrito today…” I continued to lie, and Lin Jindong laughed.
He used a little force. "Don't lie, okay?"
Although it was a question, he didn't wait for my answer and continued, "I'm talking about the smell of other men besides me, the smell of Terre d'Or perfume, which makes me nauseous."
I didn't expect Lin Jindong to have such a keen sense of smell; he could even smell the perfume Ye Fenglin was wearing tonight.
However, I also know that Ye Fenglin would never be so stupid as to leave such obvious clues.
When he met me this time, he deliberately used a completely different Napoleon water than he usually used. Lin Jindong had no idea who I had met today; he was just using his meticulous logic and investigative habits to trick me.
“Really?” I pushed him away from pressing down on me and asked, “If you don’t feel comfortable with this, then don’t come to pick me up. Why do you always treat me like a criminal?”
"You made a mistake." Lin Jindong narrowed his eyes slightly and chuckled twice. "Shouldn't you be taught a lesson for making a mistake?"
I didn't say anything, but gently closed my eyes and moved slightly closer to him.
The hand that was gripping my chin suddenly loosened its grip; he seemed somewhat curious about my actions.
The man exuded a mature cologne scent, which was indeed more pleasant than Ye Fenglin's, carrying an elegant and aloof sense of pressure.
“Brother, you smell better…” I put my hand on his shoulder and grasped the source of his burning heat with my other hand.
The scent makes me want to make love to you.
His pupils contracted slightly, and then he hugged me.
...
Late at night, at the Xie residence.
"Woof! Woof woof woof!" The puppy was even more excited after returning home. It obediently let the servant wipe its feet on the floor, and when it watched Xie Yong come down the stairs, it made even more excited noises.
Xie Yong watched as the puppy shuddered and immediately pounced on him, a smile playing on his lips. He then looked up at Ye Fenglin and asked, "Did you see her? Did she say anything when she saw Bruce?"
"Let's go to your room, Brother Yong," Ye Fenglin said lazily and casually.
Xie Yong raised an eyebrow. He had been staying at home for the past few days, and even when he wanted to go out, his parents arranged for bodyguards to watch him at the door 24 hours a day. He was dressed very casually at this time, in a black short-sleeved shirt and trousers. In contrast, Ye Fenglin was much more refined and handsome.
Back in his room, Ye Fenglin closed the door.
Xie Yong stroked the puppy. He and Jiang Fu both loved this adorable Samoyed. Xie Yong was also confident that when Jiang Fu saw the puppy, she would definitely think of him.
Of course, Xie Yong did not notice that Ye Fenglin had already arrived in front of him.
"Brother Yong, I have something to tell you."
"Go ahead and tell me."
"Jiang Fu said... she's willing to let me be her lover, to take your place and keep her company."
After a long period of unease, the puppy turned its head and looked at the two people.
"Woof!"
Xie Yong asked in a deep voice, "What did you say?"
“Brother Yong, I’m telling you, Jiang Fu asked me to be her lover in your place.” Ye Fenglin smiled and said readily, “However, I’m not quite sure how you guys do it, how you make her more comfortable. I need to ask you, and you have to teach me too, so I can better serve her in your place.”
Xie Yong suddenly grabbed Ye Fenglin by the collar. "She's my girlfriend, Ye Zi. You'd better not joke around."
“I’m not kidding you, Brother Yong. Jiang Fu has always liked seeking excitement and is fickle. Can’t you accept that fact?” Ye Fenglin smiled. “You should know that if you cooperate with me now, at least I can still mention you to Jiang Fu a few more times while you’re locked up at home, and she will still remember you.”
Xie Yong's expression suddenly turned cold. Even though he was extremely well-mannered, one could see that he was beginning to get angry.
“Brother Yong, you’re like a Hermès accessory now.” Ye Fenglin grabbed Xie Yong’s hand without any politeness. “You have to be tied to me to sell. Accept the fact that you’ve been played with too many times. This time… it’s my turn.”
[Author's Note]
I apologize for keeping everyone waiting. I really didn't want to split this chapter into two parts, as the reading experience was much worse. I spent two days combining them into one.
