They wanted you to divorce and leave, but you became a rich woman's dream man.

Gao Jun then slowly released her and turned his piercing gaze to Lin Xinxuan.

"Xinxuan, I'm giving you a chance to rephrase your words." Gao Jun's voice was calm yet carried an undeniable air of authority, like a high-ranking king issuing a warning to a subject who had erred.

Lin Xinxuan bit her lip nervously, slowly stood up, and said awkwardly with a hint of embarrassment and apology on her face, "I was just... joking."

Gao Jun recalled her arrogant and domineering tone just now, and then looked at her timid and cowardly appearance at this moment. His playful mood instantly grew wildly like weeds.

He pointed to the corner of the living room and said sternly, "How dare you, a mere maid, offend the head of the family? Go kneel over there for ten minutes as punishment."

Lin Xinxuan's eyes widened instantly, her resentment surging like a tidal wave. She shouted, "Gao Jun! Let me tell you clearly, you must give me the respect I deserve! I'm just cosplaying, it doesn't mean I have to obey you! I'm a person with an independent personality, don't try to bully me!"

Gao Jun frowned slightly, seemingly unconcerned about her resistance.

He calmly took out a few gold bars from his pocket, tossed them gently in his hand, and the gold bars clinked together, making a crisp and melodious "clink-clink" sound. Their golden and dazzling color was particularly eye-catching under the light, as if showing Lin Xinxuan their unique charm and alluring value.

Gao Jun's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile, and he said, "I was originally planning to give you some small gifts, but since that's the case, then forget it."

"Please forgive me!" Lin Xinxuan's attitude made a complete 180-degree turn in an instant, as quick and magical as a Sichuan opera face-changing act.

She suddenly stood up from the sofa, bowed respectfully, her eyes gleaming with longing and flattery, and said excitedly, "I am willing to accept the punishment!"

After saying that, she ran to the corner of the living room like a well-behaved kitten, and knelt down on her own initiative, looking just like a little maid who had made a mistake, waiting for her master's forgiveness and punishment.

Seeing Lin Xinxuan's obedient and compliant appearance, Gao Jun was secretly delighted, but he still maintained a serious and aloof demeanor, looking exactly like a stern old scholar.

He glanced at his watch and said slowly, "Kneel obediently for ten minutes and don't try to be clever."

"Yes, Lord Gao Jun! You are absolutely right!" Lin Xinxuan replied hastily, her legs pressed tightly together and her hands placed neatly on her thighs. The rabbit ear hair ornament that swayed with her nodding made her look particularly playful and cute, as if it had come to life.

"Not bad." Gao Jun strode forward slowly, reached out and gently pinched her bunny ears, then lightly tapped her forehead.
"If you dare to speak ill of me behind my back again, this punishment of kneeling will not be as simple as ten minutes."

Lin Xinxuan kept her head down, but her eyes darted around in their sockets without her saying a word in agreement.

Although she wore a serene and gentle smile, who knows what mischievous ideas she was plotting in her heart.

Seeing this, Gao Jun reached out and lifted her chin, forcing Lin Xinxuan to look him in the eye. This angle was definitely the kind of boyfriend's perspective that makes your heart flutter.

In Lin Xinxuan's eyes, he easily caught her shyness, evasiveness, embarrassment, and that barely perceptible hint of affection.

The two stared at each other for a full ten seconds. Under Gao Jun's meaningful and slightly provocative gaze, Lin Xinxuan finally gave in.

She simply closed her eyes, leaned forward, and placed all her weight on Gao Jun's hand that was supporting her chin, starting to act spoiled and putting on a "what's the use" attitude.

"Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore, get up." Gao Jun let go of her hand, but didn't forget to pinch her fair and smooth face. It felt as good as a freshly peeled egg. Gao Jun couldn't help but gently rub it with his thumb a few times.

Lin Xinxuan's body trembled slightly, her face instantly turning bright red. She stood up awkwardly and muttered softly, "I'll go cut some fruit."

Before leaving, she secretly glanced at her best friend, Li Ziyan, who was watching silently from the side. Seeing that she was indeed not angry, she breathed a sigh of relief.

The thought of her openly engaging in ambiguous interactions with her best friend's boyfriend in front of her is a hurdle she simply can't overcome. It's too embarrassing, too guilt-ridden, and I feel so sorry for Li Ziyan.

She knew Li Ziyan's temperament well; she was as proud as a peacock and never easily admitted defeat.

Back then, Gigi Lai had very high standards for her partner, otherwise she wouldn't have remained single for so long.

But now, for Gao Jun's sake, she can actually tolerate sharing her boyfriend with others. Lin Xinxuan saw all the sacrifices and concessions involved and knew it perfectly well.

……

Gao Jun sat down on the sofa with a nonchalant air, looking around like a curious child.

It was obvious that these two girls had gone to great lengths to celebrate his birthday, putting a lot of thought and effort into the arrangements.

The living room was filled with colorful balloons, and the walls were decorated with words like "happy birthday," "Happy Birthday," and "Gao Jun," creating a festive atmosphere for the birthday celebration.

On the coffee table were exquisitely crafted cakes, vibrant flowers, and beautifully packaged gift boxes, all resembling works of art. The gentle, melodious strains of instrumental music flowed from the incredibly high-end sound system next to the television, like a clear mountain spring.

"Tap tap tap—" came the crisp sound of high heels tapping on the wooden floor.

Gao Jun looked in the direction of the sound and saw Li Ziyan wearing black high heels, walking gracefully to the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room.

She frowned slightly, gazing out the window as if pondering some profound philosophical question.

After a moment, she turned to Gao Jun and said, "Why do people say that 'the first snow is so romantic'? Snowflakes fall every day on that mountain peak, so which day's snow can be called the first snow? I really don't understand, please enlighten me."

Her voice was deep and magnetic, with a perfectly balanced huskiness, as if it could penetrate one's soul and convey deep and sincere emotions without reservation.

Gao Jun raised an eyebrow. Although he had never played the game, he could guess that she was reciting lines from the game.

Gigi Lai is clearly a master in this field; she not only understands romance, but her acting skills and voice are also top-notch.

As the first snow fell in Yancheng at dawn, a faint sense of melancholy naturally emanated from her, as if she were a character who had stepped out of that game world, moving people to tears.

After quietly appreciating Li Ziyan's wonderful performance, Gao Jun revealed a meaningful smile and beckoned to her with his finger.

Li Ziyan frowned slightly, gently tossed her silver-white wig, and walked slowly with elegant steps.

That magnetic voice rang out again: "...These days we've been practicing together, and I've truly grasped the key... You are the one who can truly bind me with your red thread. If you understand this feeling, please stay by my side."

As she spoke, she gently placed her long, slender, white fingers to Gao Jun's lips. Her gaze was a mixture of sorrow and love, as if she were telling a heart-wrenching love story.

At this moment, Lin Xinxuan, who had just cut the fruit, was carrying a fruit plate and walking over cautiously, was stunned when she saw this scene. She stood there like a statue, blinking her eyes repeatedly, her face full of disbelief.

Good grief! I treated you like my best friend, and you actually pulled this stunt in front of me?!

[You outwardly complain about the poor quality and look of the clothes I bought, but behind my back you've already chosen the dialogue and background music, haven't you!?]

[And those little expressions and movements, they're clearly meticulously rehearsed!] [Where does this leave me, a professional cosplayer?] [That darn Yan Yan! How could she do this?!]

Gao Jun reached out and grasped Li Ziyan's soft hand, pulling her slightly. Li Ziyan, however, seemed to be pulled by a great external force, cried out in surprise, and fell into his arms.

Her icy blue eyes, framed by colored contact lenses, stared unblinkingly at Gao Jun. On the surface, she appeared calm and even slightly confused, but the subtle swaying of her bottom betrayed her true feelings.

Clearly, compared to Lin Xinxuan, she is the true master of the art of romance.

Gao Jun couldn't help but gasp, hugging her soft waist tightly, feeling the gentle touch between her buttocks.

His hand unconsciously stroked the stockings on her legs; they felt really nice.

Gigi Lai doesn't have a habit of exercising. At 168 cm tall, her weight has hovered around 54 kg for years. In addition, she has a petite frame and feels plump to the touch, making her very pleasant to the touch.

Cheng Lele, who is about the same height and weight as her, is much more toned, with a body fat percentage of only 18%.

Fortunately, Gigi Lai's curves are all in the right places, giving her the super popular "slightly chubby" figure online. While she doesn't have abs, she also doesn't have an ounce of excess fat.

Her breasts were just the right size, complementing her figure perfectly.

Lin Xinxuan stood there dumbfounded, not daring to breathe, watching Gao Jun and Li Ziyan "perform" there, her heart filled with mixed feelings.

After a while, Gao Jun waved to Lin Xinxuan and said with a wicked smile, "This young master wants to eat strawberries. Little maid, hurry up and come serve me."

Lin Xinxuan's lips twitched slightly, but she still obediently walked over. She picked out a clean strawberry from the fruit plate and carefully held it to his lips.

A smile flashed in Gao Jun's eyes as he opened his mouth and swallowed the strawberry, then gently bit Lin Xinxuan's finger.

"Ah!" Lin Xinxuan was so startled that she quickly withdrew her finger, her expression flustered, her face flushed red, and her heart suddenly raced.

"I want to eat oranges again." Gao Jun's hands continued to wander restlessly over Li Ziyan's body.

Lin Xinxuan looked at the large hands that were "measuring" Li Ziyan's body, and for some reason, her own body went weak.

She picked up a segment of orange with trembling hands, this time being smarter, holding it gently with her fingertips, afraid of being ambushed by Gao Jun again.

Gao Jun gently held the orange in his mouth, not in a hurry to eat it, but slowly brought it to Li Ziyan's lips.

Li Ziyan was slightly taken aback, but then she understood. A gentle smile appeared on her face as she took the orange with her mouth, her eyes full of tenderness.

Lin Xinxuan, standing to the side, felt like an unwanted third wheel, being force-fed a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).

The fruit that she had offered to Gao Jun was so gently fed to Li Ziyan by him.

Lin Xinxuan pouted in dissatisfaction, picked up a piece of orange, and tried to feed herself.

But then, to her astonishment, her best friend, Li Ziyan, suddenly turned around, reached out and put her arm around her neck, and pulled her slightly, instantly closing the distance between them.

Li Ziyan moved closer to Lin Xinxuan and placed the orange between her lips and teeth.

The situation reversed so quickly that Lin Xinxuan was completely stunned.

Gao Jun took a deep breath, his eyes widened, and he suddenly hugged Li Ziyan's waist tightly.

Sensing Gao Jun's intense reaction, Li Ziyan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smug smile.

It seems that the situation is extremely favorable to her.

She hesitated for a moment, then gently pried open Lin Xinxuan's teeth and pushed the orange over.

Lin Xinxuan shuddered, her face flushed red, her chest heaved violently, and her mind went blank, buzzing.

The rabbit ears on its head started wagging wildly.

【Aaaaaah! What is this?! What are they doing?!】

[It's one thing to fool around in private, but how could you do this in front of Gao Jun?!]

Aren't you afraid he'll misunderstand?

Li Ziyan released Lin Xinxuan, leaned close to Gao Jun's ear, and said with a barely perceptible tremor in her voice, "I want to..."

Gao Jun then jokingly replied, "Okay, I got it."

He looked at Lin Xinxuan and said, "But I won't be staying here for long, at most an hour or two, then I have to leave."

"I know."

Lai Chi-yin added, "We know it's your birthday today, so besides us, there are other people celebrating with you."

Gao Jun whispered a few sweet words in Li Ziyan's ear, trying to soothe her emotions, while also sending a comforting look to Lin Xinxuan.

His hands gently ran through Gigi Lai's hair, feeling its silky smoothness.

Li Ziyan blushed and tried hard to regain control of her body, but found it was no use.

Lin Xinxuan took a few deep breaths, trying to calm herself down, but her heart was still pounding like a wild horse.

She glanced furtively at Gao Jun, then at Li Ziyan, torn between whether or not to step forward and help.

Just then, Gao Jun suddenly stood up, gently hugged her in his arms, and walked towards the room.

Today is Gao Jun's birthday, so naturally we should cherish this opportunity. (End of Chapter)
