Reborn back to the day I descended the mountain, Miss Ji, I will take responsibility for you!

Upon seeing this romantic scene, the restaurant staff began to cheer.

"Promise him!"

"Promise him!"

Ji Ruoyu frowned and said coldly, "Zhang Ze, what are you trying to do!"

“Our business ended after you left. I’m only here for business cooperation.”

"If that's what you're after, then I'm afraid I won't play along."

As Ji Ruoyu turned to leave, Zhang Ze quickly stepped forward and blocked her way.

"Ruoyu, I know it was wrong of me to leave without saying goodbye."

“It’s normal for you to be angry, but I don’t believe you can forget the feelings we’ve shared over the years.”

"As long as you promise me and give me a chance to make amends, as a business partner, I am willing to do everything I can to help you."

As he spoke, Zhang Ze opened his arms, wanting to pull Ji Ruoyu into his embrace.

Ji Ruoyu took two steps back, dodging Zhang Ze's attack.

He said in an icy tone, "Zhang Ze, show me some respect. I already have a husband. If you continue like this, I'll report you to the police."

Zhang Ze ignored them and stepped forward again, saying, "Ruoyu, I know you were just saying that in anger, and I know you can't forget me either."

"Come back to my embrace, let me cherish you and love you."

Seeing this, Ye Chen couldn't bear it any longer, but before he could step forward...

Two bodyguards at the entrance of the lobby and the restaurant security guards blocked Ye Chen's way.

"Kid, what do you think you're doing? This place has been booked out by our Young Master Zhang."

The restaurant manager standing nearby also politely said, "Sir, please leave."

Ye Chen sneered and said, "Get out of my way, or don't blame me for being impolite."

The restaurant manager was somewhat embarrassed upon hearing this, since Ye Chen had come with Lin Yiyi, and he couldn't go too far.

Zhang Ze's two bodyguards, however, did not have so many concerns.

"Boy, you are courting death!"

Upon hearing this, the bodyguard on the left attacked Ye Chen, but before he could even throw a punch...

He felt a wave of dizziness, and a wall appeared in front of him.

In the final moments before he lost consciousness, he realized that it wasn't a wall, but that he had fallen onto the floor.

The other bodyguard, seeing this, was startled and was about to shout.

Ye Chen had already made his move, sending him and his colleague to the ground to keep each other company.

Seeing Ye Chen's skill, Lin Yiyi was startled and couldn't help but begin to doubt him again.

Ye Chen rushed into the lobby and stood in front of Ji Ruoyu.

Zhang Ze rushed over and hugged her tightly. Zhang Ze immediately looked up and wanted to give her a passionate kiss.

Ye Chen slapped Zhang Ze back, the force of the blow sending him spinning twice before he stopped.

"Ye Chen! What brings you here?" Ji Ruoyu's tone was somewhat flustered.

Zhang Ze also came to his senses at this moment, glaring at Ye Chen and saying, "Who are you? How dare you hit me!"

Upon hearing Ji Ruoyu's words, Zhang Ze realized and said, "Yes, it's that good-for-nothing who married into the Ji family because of an agreement made by the older generation."

"Ruoyu, you don't need to be afraid of him. With me here, I can make him divorce you in no time."

"Tell me, how much money would it take for you to set Ruoyu free? Is ten million enough?"

As he spoke, Zhang Ze arrogantly pulled out his checkbook from his pocket.

He quickly wrote a check for ten million and slapped it onto Ye Chen's chest.

Seeing that Ye Chen remained unmoved, Zhang Ze sneered, "A country bumpkin like you has quite the appetite."

Zhang Ze tore off a check and said coldly, "Fill in any number you like, as long as you're willing to leave Ruoyu."

Ji Ruoyu looked at Ye Chen, who was blocking her way, and was a little afraid that Ye Chen would hurt Zhang Ze and cause trouble.

So he whispered, "Don't do it. He's a member of the Zhang family. If you hurt him, you'll be in trouble."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen remained expressionless, but instead of making a move, he accepted the check.

Seeing this, Zhang Ze revealed a mocking smile. As expected, dog meat is not presentable.

Ultimately, she would have to succumb to his money offensive. He believed that Ji Ruoyu would see through Ye Chen's true colors and eventually return to his embrace.

However, the next moment, his face darkened as Ye Chen began filling in the amount on the check right in front of him.

Zhang Ze's checks were large-value checks issued by Wucheng Bank, with the highest denomination being 10 billion.

At this moment, Ye Chen wrote a nine in the hundred billion place of the check, and then a nine in the billion place.

As he wrote down each nine, Zhang Ze's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

Finally, Ye Chen filled in all the blank spaces on the check and said, "That's all. Give it to me and I'll leave right away."

Zhang Ze retorted angrily, "Are you fucking crazy? Do you even know how much this costs?"

Ye Chen calmly replied, "Of course I'm not crazy. It's just a mere 100 billion, and I'm short one yuan. Is that a lot?"

Zhang Ze said angrily, "One hundred billion? You fucking know that's one hundred billion?"

"You're just a country bumpkin from the countryside, do you even deserve to hold a hundred billion?"

Ye Chen remained calm and said, "Of course I'm not worthy, but in my heart, Ruoyu is priceless."

"And the maximum amount on your check is less than one hundred billion."

"In my heart, this is not even enough to buy a single hair of Ruoyu."

Upon hearing this, Ji Ruoyu, who was standing behind Ye Chen, felt her heart race.

Ye Chen continued, "You think you can make me leave my wife by offering ten million?"

"Could it be that in your eyes, Ruoyu is only worth ten million?"

"You!" Zhang Ze was speechless for a long time, pointing at Ye Chen without being able to say anything after being silenced by Ye Chen's words.

Seeing this, Ye Chen scoffed, "If you have no money, what are you trying to show off for?"

"What the hell? You can fill in any number you want. Even if I do, can you produce it?"

A sudden burst of laughter rang out behind Ye Chen.

Zhang Ze's face flushed instantly, and the one laughing was none other than Ji Ruoyu.

Ye Chen turned around and looked at Ji Ruoyu, who was covering her mouth and chuckling, a playful smile appearing on his face.

Suddenly, he grabbed Ji Ruoyu's hand and pulled her into his arms.

Ji Ruoyu was caught off guard and looked up at Ye Chen, only to meet his deep and tender gaze.

Then Ji Ruoyu's pupils suddenly dilated, simply because Ye Chen gave him a deep kiss.

Ye Chen only let Ji Ruoyu go when she was out of breath.

Turning back to look at Zhang Ze, flames were now burning in Zhang Ze's eyes.

Ye Chen's kiss was like a knife to the heart, dealing Zhang Ze a double blow, both physically and psychologically.

At this moment, Zhang Ze's anger finally erupted, and he was no longer the gentle and refined man he had been before.

Instead, he looked fierce and menacing, roaring at Ye Chen, "I'll kill you!"

"Go! Kill him! I'll take responsibility if you kill him!"

Six bodyguards rushed towards Ye Chen immediately, but before they could make a move...

A sharp, shrill voice came from the doorway: "Stop! The security commissioner is here! What are you trying to do!"

Lin Yiyi, holding her security guard badge, strode into the hall.

Zhao Miaomiao followed behind, and the bodyguards looked at Lin Yiyi with some vigilance.

"What are you trying to do? Six against one? Are you planning to gang up on me?" Lin Yiyi said righteously.

Seeing this, Zhang Ze stepped forward and said, "This security officer, you're mistaken. I am Zhang Ze, the eldest son of the Zhang family."

“I’ve even had dinner with your Director Zhou, we’re quite familiar with each other. Do you see this handprint on my face?”

"This is the person who hit him. My men were just acting in self-defense."

“I think you should arrest this thug for intentional assault.”

"To prevent law-abiding citizens like myself from having their personal safety and property violated."

Zhang Ze had already planned it all out: all he had to do was send Ye Chen to work on the sewing machine.

He would have someone kill him in prison, and then Ji Ruoyu would be his for the taking.

Lin Yiyi coldly replied, "You say he hit you, do you have any proof?"

"The handprint on your face could be from someone else, or it could be from you hitting yourself."

“What I see are your six subordinates surrounding this gentleman.”

"You're still yelling about killing them, and you'll take responsibility if you kill them."

“I have reason to suspect that you condoned your subordinates’ violent acts and attempted to murder this gentleman.”
