He broke his vows for her, and a tycoon descended to earth for love.

He had heard from his subordinates that Ye Siyi had gone into the bar with Xia Ran, which meant it had been about half an hour. After thinking for a moment, he knocked on the door and went in to report truthfully, "President Jiang, Ye Siyi... oh no, Madam, she went to the bar half an hour ago."

Jiang Yan had been busy dealing with her personal matters lately, and a huge pile of work documents had accumulated. She had also been irritable after arguing with Siyi, so instead of chasing after her, she went back to her study to work on the documents. Liu Qi had just sent someone to follow Siyi, reporting her location every half hour. He knew she had met with Xia Ran, but he hadn't expected these two audacious women to dare go to a bar in the middle of the night!

Jiang Yan paused, her pen poised on the paper. "Have you been drinking?"

Liu Qi's lips twitched slightly. "...He must have drunk it."

Otherwise, why go to a bar?! This question from President Jiang is a real test of his intelligence!

Jiang Yan threw down her pen with a snap, glanced at Liu Qi, and walked out with a sullen face. Liu Qi quickly followed, already understanding the situation perfectly. Was President Jiang angry? As he followed behind, he very cautiously started making phone calls to arrange for a driver.

The car drove steadily forward until it reached the entrance of the bar. Jiang Yanhui saw a familiar car stop across the street, and he was not surprised to run into Lu Fengcheng there.

The two men got out of the car at the same time and stood at the bar entrance. They glanced at each other, and Jiang Yan, seeing the faint gloom in Lu Fengcheng's eyes, knew that he must be holding a grudge about her taking Xia Ran to America without permission. The two were childhood friends and knew each other's temperaments very well.

Lu Fengcheng usually appears gloomy and sinister, but his methods are definitely no less ruthless than his outward appearance; in fact, they are far more cunning. Of course, if you touch anything of his, you'll definitely be in deep trouble.

Jiang Yan felt guilty about Xia Ran's situation and took the initiative to speak up, "Acheng, I should apologize to you for what happened with Xia Ran before. I didn't inform you because the situation was urgent at the time."

Lu Fengcheng's lips curled into a cold smile. "Is that so? I can understand your prioritization of romance over friendship, but I will definitely remember this debt."

"OK, you can do whatever you want. Consider it a favor I owe you, and I'll definitely repay it! Just don't let your woman come here in the middle of the night and corrupt my woman!" His Sisi rarely went to bars. She used to be the behind-the-scenes boss of Jinzuo, so she knew exactly how chaotic and shady these places were.

The phrase "your woman" was quite pleasing to Lu Fengcheng at the moment, but he didn't quite agree with the addition of the word "bad."

Why don't you say it's your woman who corrupted my woman?

"My wife has always been very well-behaved."

"You mean Xia Ran is someone who frequently goes to places like this?"

“I didn’t mean that at all.” Jiang Yan shrugged. “But you should know how special Xia Ran is. I think she can handle most situations, and a bar would be a piece of cake for her. Sisi is different.”

Lu Fengcheng sneered, "Your Sisi is different, so why do you think my Ranran is the same?"

Ranran...

Jiang Yan finally couldn't help but burst into laughter, a completely smug laugh that suggested the pot calling the kettle black. "Acheng, I've really seen something amazing today. What did you just call Xia Ran? Ranran? I can hardly believe my ears. Could it be that our cunning strategist is really serious about taking that woman who loves to kill so swiftly?"

Lu Fengcheng glanced at Jiang Yanhui dismissively at her teasing tone, adjusted his glasses, and retorted without hesitation, "It's just a form of address. I call you whatever feels natural to me. But I didn't expect our Young Master Yan to pay so much attention to such details. When did you become so fussy?"

Jiang Yanhui's face flashed with a hint of unease. Lu Fengcheng's thoughts were always the most profound among the four of them. If he wanted to scheme against someone, he would do so without making a sound. Fortunately, this person was her friend rather than an enemy.

In the past, he would have argued with him for a while, but not today. Everyone was here to find someone, and he was too lazy to waste any more words. Besides, he had indeed been a bit too selfish in dealing with Xia Ran's matter before. He admitted it and made a gesture of surrender. "Okay, okay, whatever you, Young Master Lu, say goes. Alright, let's go in and find the person. Once you find them, take your woman home."

"Wait." Lu Fengcheng suddenly reached out and stopped Jiang Yanhui, who was about to walk inside. He glanced at him, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I can forgive you for calling Xia Ran to America to meet that man behind my back, but you have to do something for me, and then we'll be even."

"OK, go ahead."

"I need all the information on that man named Shang Zhancheng. I've had someone investigate him, and his information is very difficult to obtain. I think given your relationship with him, it shouldn't be too hard for you to find it, right?"

Jiang Yan was not surprised at all. Given Lu Fengcheng's personality, his attitude towards Xia Ran was unprecedented. They had been brothers for so many years, when had they ever seen him care so much about a woman? So even if she didn't help, he would find a way to investigate Shang Zhancheng thoroughly. In fact, he was just a "love rival". Whether he helped or not, he didn't care who he betrayed.

After thinking about it, he readily agreed, "Okay. But you said it yourself, so it's all settled. You can't use it to blackmail me again."

"Send me the materials for the trade show tomorrow."

Watching Lu Fengcheng's tall figure walk straight into the bar, Jiang Yan frowned slightly, feeling a headache coming on. Why did he feel like he was caught in the middle? His friends were on both sides, and for the sake of a woman, he felt like a double agent, helping one side one minute and the other the next…

It seems he really needs to withdraw completely, otherwise he'll have an even bigger headache if the two of them end up fighting one day!

He reached up and tugged at his collar, thinking that he had an even more troublesome person to deal with right now.

*******

The bar was lit with warm lights, creating an unusually ambiguous atmosphere. As soon as the deafening music behind her stopped, Xia Ran knew that someone must be coming. Moreover, she knew very well who would be coming. However, she did not expect that there would be two men coming in.

One was already quite lethal, so imagine how shocking the scene would be with another one. Almost everyone on the dance floor had been kicked out. She sat still and reached out to touch the person who was a little tipsy, "Siyi."

Siyi lazily hummed in agreement, slowly raising her head. Only then did she belatedly realize that the surrounding noise seemed to have suddenly disappeared. She squinted and turned around, only to find that more than half of the people around her were gone. Looking towards the door, she saw a familiar figure standing proudly there. Her head throbbed. She had been drunk, but now, looking at the man who had come across the dance floor, she suddenly felt a little aggrieved.

So you finally decided to come looking for her? If you're so capable, then don't ever look for her again!

"Let's keep playing. Where's that handsome guy we were drinking with?" She turned her head angrily, grabbed at the side, and happened to grab a man. Knowing who he was, she tilted her chin up and smiled at him. "Let's keep playing..."

She raised her glass after speaking, but before she could even touch it to her lips, someone reached out and snatched the glass away from her.

Siyi knew who it was, of course. She squinted her hazy, drunken eyes at Jiang Yanhui and even smiled at him, "What, do you want to drink too?"

Xia Ran rubbed her forehead with a headache, patted the strange man standing to the side, and told him he could leave first. She grabbed her bag and jumped off the stool. Her alcohol tolerance was much better than Si Yi's. Although she had drunk quite a bit, she was not drunk. She remembered to tell Jiang Yan, "Young Master Yan, you're paying the bill here today. I'm leaving the person to you. I'm leaving now."

Jiang Yan simply nodded, and Xia Ran had already brushed past him. She didn't even flinch at the man walking towards her, and walked straight past the dance floor to leave. Lu Fengcheng, his face ashen, turned back and blocked her way. "Come back with me!"

Xia Ran didn't even glance at him, and said coolly, "Who are you? Do I know you?"

Lu Fengcheng sneered, "Xia Ran, are you sure you don't recognize me?"

"Aren't you annoying? Stop coming to me, I don't want to see you right now!" After saying that, she abruptly pushed Lu Fengcheng away and walked towards the bar entrance. Lu Fengcheng was so angry he was completely disoriented, but he still chased after her...

Jiang Yan looked at Si Yi as she reached out her hand, and someone immediately handed her a tissue. He didn't say a word, but simply pressed down on Si Yi's shoulder and wiped the wine stains from the corner of her mouth. Only after wiping them clean did he feel a little satisfied. He swirled Si Yi's wine glass in his hand and asked in an exceptionally harmless tone, "You're drinking with another man here?"

Siyi stared into Jiang Yanhui's eyes, her own eyes slowly reddening. "Is it any of your business? Let me go!"

"You're my wife, do you think it's any of my business?" Jiang Yanhui's tone was exceptionally forceful. She glanced around and saw that almost everyone in the bar had been evacuated. The bar owner and manager were standing nervously to the side, looking completely bewildered. In City A, who wouldn't know Jiang Yanhui? But no one really knew that the woman in his arms... was his wife.

Jiang Yan replied to him... "When did you get married?"

"Now you know how to control me? Where were you all this time?" Siyi's eyes were red as she huffed defiantly. "Don't think that just because we're registered, you can do whatever you want to me, yell at me, and treat me like I'm nothing! Let me tell you, there are plenty of married couples who get divorced!"
