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

"Fang Ming!"

Luo Yunqi felt his blood surging. He kept his lips tightly closed, his lips slightly downturned, and his Adam's apple bobbed rapidly as he tried to suppress the rising anger.

"gentlemen."

"Take him away!"

"Yes, sir."

Fang Ming waved his hand, and several bodyguards in black appeared before Ji Chen's horrified eyes. Ji Chen only had time to say "Shu Li" before someone covered his mouth and pulled him away.

Today, Ji Chen and the Ji family have completely lost face.

Wu Hai was still shaken. Looking at the stunned Wu Lina, he felt a sharp pain in his chest from anger. "Look at you, look at you! All your self-righteous ideas were destroyed by just a few words from someone else. It's all my and your mother's fault for spoiling you so much. Do you think you're better than that person on stage? Wake up! I don't want to end up like the Ji family. I can't afford to lose face like that!"

Wu Lina gritted her teeth, her face paling even more, her eyes surging with hatred. She clenched her fists so tightly that her nails almost dug into the flesh of her palms. She had truly underestimated Xu Shuli's presence. With just a few words from Xu Shuli, she had turned the entire situation around.

Luo Yunqi's heart had not yet calmed down, though he did not show it on his face; only a deeper, darker light shone in the depths of his eyes.

Xu Shuli raised a glass of wine. They stood high, looking down on everyone else. In addition, her eyebrows were relaxed, her eyes were upturned, and she looked exquisite and beautiful. She wore a black dress and was as noble as a black swan.

Her voice was clear and soothing, every word carrying a comforting quality.

"Let's use this drink to wrap up the farce we just had. You all enjoyed a show, and the clown has just left. I don't know if you all enjoyed it, but..." Xu Shuli subtly changed her tone, "This show was something I put on for you all. There's no copyright for it yet. If I find out who leaked the copyright, I'll have to make them pay me back!"

The person who had been recording the screen quickly deleted the video, and the person chatting also retracted the message, holding their breath as they watched her post.

Xu Shuli tilted her head, gesturing for Luo Yunqi, who was standing behind her, to speak. This man stood upright in a position overlooking the entire hall, his dark, abyss-like eyes fixed on her, filled with heartache and self-reproach.

“Yaoyao…” The voice was as light as a feather.

Wen Qing gave a thumbs up, and Gu Baisheng and the others also looked very pleased. Only Luo Yunqi took the microphone and said a few words.

The music continued, and as the people on stage dispersed, the audience made way for them, continuing to calm down after what had just happened.

Wen Qing tried to cling to Xu Shuli, but Chen Li dragged her away in a tantrum. Lin Ran and Gu Baisheng exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with tears. Lin Ran stretched and patted Luo Yunqi's shoulder.

"Old Gu and I are heading back now. I'll have someone deliver the gift to your Bright Moon Abode later."

Gu Baisheng pinched the soft flesh between his eyebrows and loosened the clothes at his wrist. "I second that. I'll have someone send the gift over. There's something important that needs to be done."

After the two finished speaking, they turned to leave. Xu Shuli seemed to have figured out what they were planning to do and whispered a word of advice.

"Remember not to let him see your faces."

Lin Ran and Gu Baisheng didn't turn their heads, but put their hands behind their backs and made an OK sign.

Their youngest child has always been the smartest and most composed one.

Luo Yunqi didn't speak, but boldly tried to take Xu Shuli's hand, but Xu Shuli gently dodged it, saying, "It hasn't passed the review yet."

Luo Yunqi's pounding heart calmed down a little, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Yaoyao, I'm sorry."

Xu Shuli accepted the apology. Her lipstick was almost gone, but her lips were still pink. The two of them looked at the people below the stage and occasionally received scrutinizing glances.

Before they knew it, their eyes met.

Wu Lina's eyes blazed with fury as she stared intently at Xu Shuli above her. The latter merely curved his lips slightly, his smile failing to reach his eyes.

"After today, I won't have much time. I'll be alone for at least a week."

Xu Shuli added a sentence.

Is there a competition?

Being the center of attention is a normal part of their lives. Luo Yunqi wanted to take her hand. The end of the dance he had been looking forward to for so long had been ruined. All Luo Yunqi wanted to do was hold her hand.

"Yaoyao... I'll give you Mingyue Xiaozhu. Its security and privacy are top-notch."

Xu Shuli took a sip of her drink and almost choked on his words. "You... what did you say?"

The two walked to the adjacent lounge, where the noise below subsided. Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, cars came and went on the main road, and the sky was filled with twinkling stars.

How much is Mingyue Xiaozhu worth now?

Xu Shuli had considered the idea of ​​using Mingyue Xiaozhu, but it only flashed through her mind briefly; she never actually took any action.

"I don't know. It was bought several years ago. It should be worth more than 300 million now."

Luo Yunqi wiped the wine stains from the corner of her mouth. "Drink slowly. If you like, you can move in now. When I bought it, it was in your name. I remember your ID card clearly."

Her expression went blank for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure and said, "The handover date for Mingyue Xiaozhu isn't..."

At this point, the two fell silent again.

It happened to be his first year abroad.

"Alright then, since you said you'd give it to me, I'll accept it. It's only three hundred million; you shouldn't be that stingy."

Three hundred million yuan bought him back the three years he was gone, and now Xu Shuli is willing to give him this chance again.

"Yaoyao, I'll give you anything you like."

Xu Shuli met his gaze, and a wave of bitterness welled up in her chest. This bitterness overwhelmed her, her eyes involuntarily reddened, and her voice became choked with emotion.

"Luo Yunqi..."

Upon hearing this extremely aggrieved voice, Luo Yunqi felt a pang of sadness and bitterness in his heart. "I'm here, Yao Yao."

"If you abandon me again like you did three years ago, then there will be no possibility for us in the future."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt as if something was tightly gripping his throat, causing him both discomfort and excitement.

“If anything like this happens again, I, Luo Yunqi, will be annihilated and never see you again.”

That big tear still slowly rolled down her cheek. Luo Yunqi felt heartbroken seeing it and couldn't help but get up and gently hug her, not daring to use too much force.

"Yaoyao, please, I'm begging you, can I hug you?"

After three years apart, this was their first embrace. Their breaths and warmth mingled, and tears welled up in Luo Yunqi's eyes, while Xu Shuli silently shed tears, her hands tightly gripping his arm.

We've been suppressing this for too long; it's time for everything to let go.
