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

He spoke softly, his words full of coaxing, but he said nothing, only calling her name over and over again: "Yaoyao... Yaoyao... Yaoyao..."

Whispers whispered in her ear again and again, and burning sensations on her lips, one after another.

Suppressing his excitement and surging desire, Luo Yunqi kissed her one last time before immediately getting up and trying to calm his racing heart.

After his heartbeat calmed down a bit, he reached out and gently touched her cheek, which was fair and soft.

Goodnight, An'an, have a good night's sleep. I'm here watching over you.

Once she was completely asleep, Luo Yunqi stayed by her side, worried that she might feel unwell in the middle of the night or kick off the covers.

It had been a long time since they had this kind of time alone together, where he could quietly stay by her side.

Meanwhile, Gu Baisheng and Lin Ran had already led the person into a private room.

As soon as Ji Chen stepped out, he was left outside by security guards. Before he could even get up, a sack was put over his head, followed by a series of footsteps as they hoisted him up along with the sack.

The journey was bumpy and uneven, ignoring his shouts and pounding, and the dark area gradually expanded.

Suddenly, he entered a completely dark place. Ji Chen vaguely guessed who it was. He took off the sack on his head and was shocked to see several familiar faces.

He watched in fear as the two figures approached, and cried out in surprise, "You...you...what do you want to do? I'm telling you, what you're doing is illegal!"

"Oh…"

"Breaking the law? Then tell me, what did we do to you? Who saw us? Sorry, the surveillance cameras on that section of the road just happened to be broken."

Lin Ran was unimpressed. Watching him shrink back in fear, her disdain and mockery were practically written all over her face.

"Who gave you the audacity to cause trouble at Luo Yunqi's inauguration ceremony? Who gave you the audacity to bully Yaoyao?"

Gu Baisheng raised his hand, and someone brought over two new stools. "Come on, let's sit down and chat. This person kicked the sofa just now, and I'm a little disgusted by it."

Gu Baisheng's dislike for Ji Chen was genuine and undisguised; he showed disgust even for something as simple as a sofa that Ji Chen had touched.

"Tsk, I'm quite satisfied with this cleanliness obsession today."

Ji Chen's face turned dark.

"What exactly do you want? What do you mean? I've already broken up with Xu Shuli, isn't that enough? What else do you want from me?"

“Hey hey hey…”

Lin Ran and Gu Baisheng reacted as if they had heard a huge joke. "What do you mean you broke up with our Yaoyao? You cheated on her and betrayed her. Our Yaoyao is smart, wise, and rational. Besides that, there is nothing between you two. Please watch your words and don't let us hear any slander or rumors about you and our Yaoyao."

Every word Lin Ran said pierced Ji Chen's heart. "What right do you have to say that? No matter what, we've been together for three years. Do you think you can just erase the feelings we've built up over those three years so easily?"

Lin Ran "..."

I knew the toad wanted to eat swan meat, but I didn't know the toad was so shameless and ridiculous!

Gu Baisheng was too lazy to listen to his nonsense and wished she could just beat him up. "Why bother talking so much nonsense to him? If you bully Yaoyao, you always have to pay the price. Beat him up and break a few of his ribs."

His words were blunt and direct. The security guard standing behind him twitched at the corner of his mouth. Their young master's style of doing things was getting more and more rude.

"Can't you use your brain? Beating him up and breaking a few of his ribs won't erase the harm he's done to our Yaoyao, will it? Besides, he just left here and someone broke a few of his ribs. Your Luo Yunqi has to take responsibility for this."

Gu Baisheng hadn't considered this. "Then what do you suggest we do?"

The two of them discussed in front of Ji Chen what kind of way to punish him, which was a real test of Ji Chen's mental fortitude.

"What exactly do you want? You know I was harmed the moment I left you, and I will never let you get away with this."

"..."

"..."

This was the second big joke they'd heard all night.

“Ji Chen, don’t say I’m abusing my power, but in some situations, power really can make you powerless to turn the tide. With the connections of our five great families, it would be a piece of cake to shut down your Ji family. Even if I wanted to make your family leave Ancheng right now, I could do it.”

Ji Chen's indignant face turned completely pale. How could he have forgotten? These two men were young masters from the five great families. A few words from them could indeed bring down their entire families.

In the face of power, some things really can't compare to money.

"We're here today to get justice for Yao Yao. A few broken ribs won't hurt you for now, but..."

"But we can still beat you up a few times. If we find out after today that you dare to harass Yao Yao again, don't blame us for being rude to you."

“What happened on the playground, we’re not stupid. Don’t think we’ll forget. Every single thing you and that Yuan-ge and Bian-ge did that hurt Yao-yao, we’ll keep a record of it.” Lin Ran wiped each of his fingers. “She’s someone protected by our five great families, not someone you can just mess with.”

Ji Chen's expression turned even uglier.

"They covered his head again."

At Gu Baisheng's command, the two bodyguards behind him put the sack over his head again, and Ji Chen, whose hands were tied, was powerless to object.

Startled by their words, Ji Chen panicked. With their strength, eliminating him silently would have been an easy task.

"What exactly do you want? Let me tell you, no matter what, I've been engaged to Xu Shuli for three years. We definitely have feelings for each other. If you dare to do anything to me like this, Xu Shuli will definitely be angry."

Here comes an even bigger joke than the last one.

Gu Baisheng and Lin Ran were both silent for a few seconds, both seeing speechlessness on each other's faces and in their eyes.

“Gu Baisheng, I originally didn’t want to pay any attention to him, and I wanted to teach him a lesson.”

"I really want to teach him a lesson right now."

"Me too"

Good brothers can tell what the other is up to with just a glance, just like right now when the two of them really want to team up and beat someone up.

“Turn around and stand guard at the door.”

Gu Baisheng shook his head, loosened his muscles and bones, and he and Lin Ran approached Ji Chen on the ground step by step, feeling the footsteps getting closer and closer.

Ji Chen became even more nervous, fearing that a fist would land on him in the next second. He was right, and a fist did indeed land on him.

Gu Baisheng and Lin Ran exchanged blows, avoiding vital areas, causing Ji Chen to roll on the ground, unable to see where he was going, and in pain all over his body.
