A young man dressed in designer clothes, his hair slicked back with hair wax, looked at Shangguan Xiner with pleading eyes. Behind him was parked a red Ferrari, worth at least several million.
"Bai Yandong, Iâve told you, we have completely broken up. Thereâs no relationship between us anymore, and I wonât take anything from you," Xiner said indifferently, turning to leave. Just then, Bai Yandong grabbed Shangguan Xinerâs hand and said, "Xiner, are you really going to be so heartless?"
"Let go of me!" Shangguan Xiner snapped coldly.
Bai Yandongâs eyes watched Shangguan Xiner, a shadow of darkness crossing his face.
"I told you to let go. Are you deaf or something?" A harsh voice suddenly sounded. A figure appeared out of nowhere in front of them, silently watching. It was Ye Luo.
Shangguan Xinerâs eyes flickered with a different light as she saw Ye Luo, and a look of joy emerged on her face.
"Who are you? Iâm arguing with my girlfriend. Whatâs it to you? Buzz off," Bai Yandong said, casting a disdainful glance at Ye Luo.
Ye Luo smiled, swung out a hand, and grabbed the one Bai Yandong had on Shangguan Xiner. With a slight effort, Bai Yandongâs face changed, and he began to shout continually.
"Let go, let go, let go now."
Ye Luo sneered, releasing Bai Yandongâs hand. The latter quickly retreated, his hand trembling as if Ye Luo was about to crush his bones.
"Who the hell are you to meddle in other peopleâs business?" Bai Yandong stared at Ye Luo angrily.
"Heâs my boyfriend. Bai Yandong, you can leave now. Donât bother me again," Shangguan Xiner said, taking Ye Luoâs hand.
"You..."
Seeing Shangguan Xiner holding Ye Luoâs hand, Bai Yandongâs face instantly soured, looking incredibly ugly.
"We only broke up three days ago, and youâve already got yourself a new boyfriend. Shangguan Xiner, I really didnât see that coming. I thought you were pure, but it turns out youâre just a slut who throws herself at anyone!" Bai Yandong bellowed in rage.
Slap!
A crisp slap rang out, and a clear palm print appeared on Bai Yandongâs faceâit was from Ye Luo.
Bai Yandongâs eyes filled with fury as he stared at Ye Luo.
"If you canât speak properly, then shut your mouth. Otherwise, Iâll thrash your mouth so badly youâll never be able to speak again," Ye Luo coldly huffed.
"Fine, fine, fine, just you wait." Pointing at Ye Luo and Shangguan Xiner, Bai Yandongâs anger reached its peak. He opened the car door, got into the Ferrari, and sped away.
Watching Bai Yandong leave, Shangguan Xiner breathed a sigh of relief, turned her gaze to Ye Luo, and said, "Thank you."
"No worries, we know each other after all, friends helping friends, thatâs all," Ye Luo said with a smile, his eyes glancing at her hand still holding his.
Shangguan Xiner also quickly realized this and hurriedly withdrew her hand, her expression somewhat shy.
"Sorry, just now..."
"I know, no need to say anything. Itâs fine," Ye Luo said with a smile.
"By the way, I still donât know your name?" Ye Luo looked at Shangguan Xiner and spoke.
"My name is Shangguan Xiner. You can call me Xiner. And you?" Shangguan Xinerâs gaze sparkled as she looked at Ye Luo.
"Iâm Ye Luo, and Iâm pleased to meet such a beautiful flight attendant like you."
Ye Luoâs smile broadened, revealing a brilliant smile.
The fair complexion of Shangguan Xinerâs face turned slightly red as she said softly, "Thank you."
"By the way, was that man your ex-boyfriend?" Ye Luo couldnât help asking.
Shangguan Xiner nodded, "He indeed was my ex-boyfriend. We dated for a year, and a few days ago, I discovered that he was sleeping with another woman. I broke up with him right then and there, never expecting that he would still want to get back together now."
"This kind of scumbag isnât worth your attention. By the way, itâs quite late now, where do you live? Let me take you home," Ye Luo said, looking at Shangguan Xiner.
"No need to bother, thank you. I can go back by myself. By the way, can you leave me your phone number? I feel embarrassed about what happened on the plane before, and now youâve helped me again. I should treat you to a meal sometime," Shangguan Xiner said lightly.
"I can leave my number, but as for the meal, I should be the one to invite you. How could I let such a beautiful woman treat me?" Ye Luo said, smiling as he gave Shangguan Xiner his phone number.
Shangguan Xiner then left the place, and Ye Luo watched her retreating figure, his gaze flickering with a trace of perplexity in his heart.
When he was in close contact with her just now, the Nine Yang True Qi within his body agitated once again, as if something in her body was attracting the Nine Yang True Qi.
Only, what exactly it was, he could not know, but he felt as if there was some special connection between him and Shangguan Xiner.
Upon returning to the villa, as soon as Ye Luo walked in, he saw Lin Xiaoyan placing dishes on the table; the table was filled with dishes full of color, fragrance, and flavor.
"Xiaoyan, did you make all these dishes?" Ye Luo looked at Lin Xiaoyan and said, surprised.
"Yan Ling and Jingxuan also helped, the three of us cooked together," Lin Xiaoyan said, revealing a faint smile, as Yan Ling and Luo Jingxuan also came out of the kitchen holding bowls and chopsticks.
"Whatâs going on today that you all decided to cook?" Ye Luo said, somewhat astonished, looking at Luo Jingxuan and Yan Ling.
"Isnât today Xiaoyanâs first day moving into our home? Thatâs why we decided to cook something delicious. Youâve come back just in time for dinner," Yan Ling spoke.
Ye Luo smiled playfully, "Then Iâm really lucky, having three beautiful women cooking for me."
"Brother Ye, try it and see how it tastes," Lin Xiaoyan said, her face beaming with a smile as she looked at Ye Luo.
Ye Luo casually tasted the dishes, and they all tasted quite good.
"Well, how is it? Delicious, right?" Yan Ling looked at Ye Luo with interest.
"Mmm, but youâre even more delicious," Ye Luo teased, causing Yan Lingâs face to turn red as she glared at him, while Lin Xiaoyan was clueless, not knowing what was going on.
The dinner was very enjoyable, and in the end, the task of cleaning up was handed to Ye Luo by Yan Ling; the three women went straight upstairs.
After tidying everything up, Ye Luo returned to his room, took out several spiritual herbs that he had picked from the Mysterious Valley, and planned to refine them into elixirs. Taken in this form, the effects would be even better.
Summoning the superior-grade Spiritual Artifact, the Sanqing Pill Furnace, Ye Luo once again began the process of Alchemy.
The robust Nine Yang True Fire erupted, and Ye Luoâs expression instantly became extremely focused as he controlled the ingredients and the fire, starting to refine the elixirs.
