A pampered young lady from a prestigious family, pampered by her childhood sweetheart, a CEO.

In the very end, Xu Shuli suddenly felt a pang of pity as she looked at Wu Lina being dragged away.

She just liked Luo Yunqi too much.

"Yaoyao, you won't soften your heart and give me away to someone else, will you?"

Taking this rare opportunity to get closer to Xu Shuli, Luo Yunqi naturally shamelessly tried to improve their relationship.

"..."

Xu Shuli really wanted to roll her eyes at him. The CEO of the Luo Group was not some aloof person. On the contrary, those who knew him knew that he was cunning, stingy, vengeful, and also a bit cheeky.

Her years of training allowed her to control herself exceptionally well. "If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

"Hey, Yao Yao..." Luo Yunqi quickly followed, occasionally mentioning their past, trying to bring back some of their shared memories.

Xu Shuli suddenly stopped, her eyes filled with helplessness. "Luo Yunqi, are you a child? You always like to relive past events."

He moved his lips and smiled with a hint of self-deprecation. "I just want to talk to you more. I know you're still angry with me, and I'm angry with myself for making you so sad."

It was so quiet around them. The noise from the lobby couldn't be heard at all from upstairs. The only sounds were their breathing and heartbeats.

Xu Shuli's expression went blank for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure and said, "I...I kind of want to eat that candy."

Understanding the implication in her words, Luo Yunqi paused slightly, then a hint of a smile appeared in his phoenix eyes, radiating a tenderness he himself didn't even realize. His voice was so gentle it could melt water, "Alright, I'll have someone... no, I'll go buy it myself..."

After saying that, he turned to take the elevator down to the underground parking garage, but Xu Shuli added, "Do you still remember what flavor I like?"

With a meaningful look in his eyes, Luo Yunqi suddenly felt tears welling up in his eyes. How could his little sister be so good?

"I don't remember. Could this beautiful, gentle, generous, and intelligent lady please tell me?"

"it is good."

The two returned to their original state, taking the elevator without their phones. The people in the private room stared at the phones on the table, lost in thought. Had they gotten lost in the restroom?

In order not to affect the banquet in the downstairs hall, Wu Lina was led down through the back door of the side hall with her mouth covered. She was indignant and wanted to make a fuss, but the bodyguard in black stood straight in front of her.

"Ms. Wu, I hope you won't make things too ugly."

"You..." Wu Lina was furious, but for the sake of looking good, she had left all her belongings, including her phone, in the car. Now, all she was wearing was her jewelry and dress.

Embarrassed and unbearable.

Wu Lina's face turned pale, still unable to believe that Luo Yunqi would treat her like this. In her daze, she realized that she had already walked outside.

The streets were deserted, with only neon lights flashing. A cool evening breeze brushed against my arms, raising goosebumps.

Suddenly, a large white light flashed before her eyes, and the cars coming from the front seemed to be unable to see her and drove straight towards her.

Wu Lina was terrified. She tried to dodge, but her hands and feet seemed to be frozen in place, and she couldn't move at all. The car was getting closer and closer, and Wu Lina closed her eyes in fear, her whole body trembling. At the last moment, she managed to dodge.

Having dodged the car, Wu Lina felt panicked, as if a hand was tightly gripping her heart, and a sharp pain immediately spread throughout her body, causing her hands and feet to tremble uncontrollably.

I was filled with lingering fear, and my eyes were filled with terror.

The people in the car slowly got out. A blinding white light pierced Wu Lina's eyes. She squinted, shielding her eyes with her hand, staring intently at the people getting out of the car.

His right hand was still bandaged, and he looked sharp in his black suit. He walked over slowly, his handsome features carrying a hint of apology.

"Sorry, I was driving too slowly just now. Otherwise, you should have carried something with you like I did. White goes with everything."

“You…” Wu Lina recognized him. When she saw that it was him, she even had a hunch in her mind.

"I wondered who it was? It's Young Master Ji, the one whose engagement was broken off by Xu Shuli. I heard you were even beaten up. How come you're discharged from the hospital now? How's your recovery?"

Touched on a sore spot, Ji Chen's face darkened. "Wu Lina, we are all the same people. You don't need to boost your vanity by mocking me."

Wu Lina didn't dwell on it, gently adjusting the hem of her skirt. "Excuse me, but I don't consider myself the same as you. I am the eldest daughter of the Wu family, and my father is the vice mayor of Beijing. Your Ji family is a branch of our Wu family. In terms of status, even your father would have to address me as Miss Wu..."

After saying that, Wu Lina turned to leave, but before she could take another step, Ji Chen's cold voice suddenly fell.

"Miss Wu...so what? Xu Shuli can easily overshadow you. Ask around in Beijing's socialite circle, who doesn't know Xu Shuli? Have you ever heard the saying, 'If you're going to have a daughter, have one like Xu Shuli'?"

Ji Chen took a few steps forward, his sinister gaze coiling around her like a venomous snake. "Wu Lina, what are you worth? You think you can compare to Xu Shuli? So what if my family isn't as good as your Wu family? At least I was once Xu Shuli's fiancé. With that connection, what do you think your Wu family is?"

Wu Lina reached out to slap him, but Ji Chen grabbed her arm tightly, closing the distance between them instantly. Their eyes met in a cunning and sinister gaze. "Wu Lina, are you trying to say we've already broken off the engagement? So what? We were engaged for three years. You don't really think she has no feelings for me at all, do you?"

"you…"

"I'm just as good-looking as Luo Yunqi. So what if he comes from a good family? There are so many complicated things to do in wealthy families. Xu Shuli hates trouble the most. If I started pursuing her, who do you think she would choose?"

"Wu Lina, let's work together."

Ji Chen released Wu Lina's hand, his right hand still throbbing with pain from the force he had used. "I'll help you get Luo Yunqi, and I'll take Xu Shuli."

The offer was incredibly tempting, but Wu Lina still had doubts. "Don't forget, the reason you broke off the engagement was because you had a mistress? What's her name? Song Yuanyuan? Ji Chen, do you think you still have a chance?"

When Song Yuanyuan was mentioned, a hint of hidden pain flashed quickly in Ji Chen's eyes. "Once I get Xu Shuli, I will naturally find a way to make her willingly accept Yuanyuan. You don't need to worry about that."

Wu Lina couldn't help but laugh. "Xu Shuli is such a proud and principled person, she would rather die than lower herself to agree to your request, not to mention there's Song Yuanyuan too."

"This is none of your business. I have my own plans." Ji Chen wanted to change the subject, his gaze fixed on the topic. "So? What do you think of this collaboration?"

Wu Lina hesitated for a moment, then said, "Let's talk in the car."

Having received a satisfactory answer, Ji Chen smiled gently. Under the moonlight, his smile was quite handsome. Wu Lina stared at him for three seconds before immediately getting into the car.

The person she wanted was Luo Yunqi, the high-ranking CEO of the Luo Group.
