After being reborn, I took my childhood sweetheart to cultivate immortality.

In the afternoon, Yu Jinchen had something to take care of, so Xu Qingman spent half the afternoon playing games alone in his office.

Yu Jinchen pushed open the door and went in. "Manman, let's go. I'll take you out for dinner."

Xu Qingman looked up and replied, "Oh, okay, I hope my going won't interfere with your business negotiations."

"Uh, no, I need your help with a little thing today." Yu Jinchen paused, his tone sounding a bit off.

She looked at him suspiciously and said with certainty, "Something's not right with you."

He rubbed his hands together and chuckled, "As expected of my little fairy, nothing escapes your discerning eyes."

Xu Qingman gave him a light glare before he continued, "Well, the An family I'm going to today is a business partner that's quite important to me. One of their relatives has a daughter who's about my age, and she seems to have feelings for me."

"I kept emphasizing that I have a girlfriend, but the father and daughter thought I was just making excuses, so I'll have to trouble them to take their time today."

Upon hearing this, Xu Qingman immediately sounded the alarm, "Oh, I didn't expect you to be so popular. Why don't you just agree?"

"Well, there's nothing I can do. Being too handsome is a problem. But I'll just agree. I'll only ever love you in this life. In my heart, you're the only one who can compare to me."

Yu Jinchen could easily coax people with his words, and he immediately made Xu Qingman beam with joy.

Knowing that someone was eyeing her boyfriend, she couldn't just go like that. She had to dress up as beautifully as possible and overwhelm the other person with her presence.

So, Yu Jinchen was pushed out of the office by his girlfriend, who said that she needed to dress up so as not to embarrass him.

He waited outside for about ten minutes, and when the door opened, he was stunned. Although he had always known the girl was pretty, he never imagined she would be this beautiful after being carefully dressed up.

She wore a white halter-neck dress, a simple style that accentuated her already beautiful figure even more perfectly.

Her long, black hair was carefully braided into a diagonal braid, hanging down in front of her chest.

Her already rosy lips, after being specially coated with red lipstick, looked as delicate and luscious as rose petals.

With fair skin, red lips, and bright, captivating eyes, she possessed a beauty that was both like a femme fatale capable of bringing ruin to a country and like a fairy descended from heaven, untouched by worldly concerns. The combination of these two beauties did not clash at all; instead, it only made her stand out even more.

"Baby, I don't really want to take you out dressed like this." Yu Jinchen stepped forward and hugged her, his eyes full of amazement.

Xu Qingman tilted her head and said coquettishly, "What, are you afraid I'll embarrass you?"

"No, you're too beautiful like this. I want to hide it and not let anyone see it."

Seeing his head slowly approaching and his increasingly strange gaze, Xu Qingman quickly covered her lips and said in a sweet voice, "Didn't you just say that time was almost up? Let's get going!"

On the way, Yu Jinchen told her that today was actually the 20th birthday banquet of Miss An, the only daughter of the An family. The president of the An family had invited many talented young men to attend, and his purpose was self-evident.

Xu Qingman glared at the man beside her, thankfully she had dressed up specially for today.

However, she still took out a set of pink diamond jewelry from her spatial storage and put it on. It was a gift from Yu Jinchen when she was at home. She hadn't had a chance to wear it at home, but it was appropriate for this occasion.

The banquet was held at the An family's villa. When Yu Jinchen and his companion arrived, the An family's parking lot was already full of all kinds of luxury cars.

"Jinchen, you're here too?" The two had just entered when they saw Chen Yaozu, dressed like a butterfly, walking over.

However, he is tall and handsome with fair skin, and he still looks good even when dressed in flashy clothes.

Yu Jinchen looked at him with utter disdain. "Tsk tsk tsk, Yaozu, are you putting on a show?"

"Hey, I had no choice. I didn't want to come, but the old man forced me to. According to reliable sources, the little princess of the An family dislikes this type of man the most." Chen Yaozu lowered his voice as he spoke, as if afraid that people nearby would hear him.

Xu Qingman burst out laughing. The An family was one of the wealthiest families in Yangshi, yet these people were avoiding them like the plague. She wanted to see what kind of person the An family princess really was.

After a few simple words from the head of the An family, An Shiwei, the only daughter of the An family and the host of the day, slowly descended the stairs.

She wore a silver-white, form-fitting long dress, the front and hem of which were adorned with sparkling diamonds. As she moved, they resembled shooting stars or blooming silver flowers, drawing admiration from everyone present.

Her eyes were cool and aloof, and her aura was powerful. Her innate elegance made it easy for people to overlook her less-than-exquisite appearance.

While this type of person may not be exceptionally beautiful, she is hard to ignore and easily becomes the center of attention in any setting. She exudes a strong and assertive aura, no wonder Chen Yaozu said she doesn't fancy flashy men.

After cutting the birthday cake, it's time for the birthday person to receive gifts.

The guests presented a variety of valuable gifts, and in the end, the gift given by the president of the An Group caused a sensation throughout the venue.

Unexpectedly, he transferred 60% of the shares of the An Group to his daughter's name. Keep in mind, President An is only in his fifties, still quite young. Transferring most of his assets to his daughter so early signifies that he is prepared for her to take over the An Group.

I had heard before that the An couple doted on their only daughter, and now I've seen it for myself.

Seeing the expressions of envy and jealousy on many people's faces, Xu Qingman asked Yu Jinchen in a low voice, "How much is 60% of An's shares actually worth? Why are these people looking at me like that?"

"The An Group is valued at over 30 billion yuan, and it's said to have annual net profits of several billion yuan. So, do you think 60% is really that attractive?"

Good heavens, no wonder all the young male guests today are rushing to curry favor with Princess An. If they succeed, it's not just about saving ten or twenty years of hard work; it means their descendants won't have to struggle at all!

After the banquet, each guest received a beautiful gift. Xu Qingman opened her gift after getting into the car and found that the male guest received a diamond tie pin, while the female guest received a pair of diamond earrings.

That's quite a generous gesture. This item must cost at least several thousand yuan. She estimated that there must be at least one or two hundred guests at the An family home today.

"Oh, by the way, who was that man who kept staring at you with a gloomy face all night?" Xu Qingman recalled the gaze that had been following the two of them at the An family home.

Yu Jinchen replied calmly, "That man is called Xiao Changfeng. He is a distant relative of the An family. It is his daughter, Xiao Ruxue, who is interested in me."

Xu Qingman said knowingly, "Oh, I see. So the woman in the black dress must be Xiao Ruxue, right? No wonder she kept looking at me with such a sinister gaze."

"I'm sorry, Manman, I've dragged you into this. I thought Xiao Ruxue and her father weren't important, but judging from their expressions today, you might be in some trouble."

Yu Jinchen was starting to regret it. He hadn't expected that the Xiao family father and daughter might hate him because of this. He wasn't afraid of himself, but he was worried that it might cause trouble for his girlfriend.
