The manager scolded sharply before saying, "That young man holds in his hand the highest level black card from Huaxia Bank. Every owner of such a card in Huaxia holds high status and power, belonging to the absolute pinnacle of the upper class. For such people, giving a few million in discounts could possibly bring huge returns to the company."

"That impressive?"

The saleswoman wore a face full of astonishment.

Inside a three-story European-style villa, Ye Luo and Li Wanqin’s family appeared here, where everything from the décor to the facilities was fully equipped.

"Uncle, Auntie, everything is here; you just need to pack up your things and you can move in. Plus, there’s a garden and a swimming pool outside, which you can enjoy in your leisure time," Ye Luo said directly.

At that moment, Li Wanqin’s parents looked at the luxurious villa before them, unable to react for quite some time, until finally, Li Wanqin’s mother plopped down onto a European-style sofa.

"It’s so soft, much better than our sofa at home, and this TV, it’s so big!" Li Wanqin’s mother exclaimed with a series of impressed remarks.

Li Wanqin’s father’s expression flickered with an unusual light as he looked at Ye Luo.

"Uncle, where did you work before?"

"I was previously the Deputy Director at Zhonghai City’s Economic Office," Li Wanqin’s father couldn’t help saying.

"Good, I’ll try to find a way to restore your position as soon as possible. I will make you believe that I am no less than that young master of the Shen Family, and since Wan Qin is already my woman, I will not let her become someone else’s," Ye Luo said assertively, his eyes flashing with confidence.

"Well, I still have things to do, so I’ll be going. You can contact me if there’s anything," Ye Luo said with a smile at the corner of his mouth and turned straight away to leave.

At that moment, Li Wanqin quickly followed him out.

"Old Li, what do you think now..." Li Wanqin’s mother said, turning her gaze towards her husband.

"This lad is no simple character," he sighed.

Outside the villa, Li Wanqin watched Ye Luo and called out, "Wait a minute."

"Is there something else?"

Ye Luo’s gaze turned towards Li Wanqin.

Li Wanqin stood in front of Ye Luo, her eyes intently fixed on him, and she said in a serious tone, "Why are you doing this?"

"Didn’t I tell you? You are my woman, and I won’t let anyone take you away. Besides, all that happened was indeed because of me, so naturally, I should do something about it, right?"

"I’ve already said it before, we have no relationship; that night was just an accident," Li Wanqin said sternly, her voice cold.

"To you, it may have been an accident, but to me, Ye Luo, you are my first woman, and therefore you hold an indescribable importance to me. Even though I don’t consider myself a gentleman, I will certainly take responsibility for my woman, and I can’t stand to see you become another man’s woman," Ye Luo stated, his tone carrying an assertive strength.

"You..."

Li Wanqin’s expression changed, and just as she was about to say something, Ye Luo wrapped his arms around her slim waist and said lightly, "I know what you’re thinking. Are you worried that I’m your boss and your best friend’s fiancé, so you can’t be the other woman, can’t interfere with our relationship?"

A mischievous smile appeared on Ye Luo’s lips, "But what I want to tell you is that, no matter what, you are already my woman, it’s a fate that is sealed. As for Ling Qingya, you don’t need to worry. I’ll take care of it myself."

"You take care of it? How? Break up with Qing Ya, or do you want to have us both?"

Li Wanqin said as she pushed Ye Luo away.

"My old master once told me that the stronger a man is in this world, the more women he’ll have by his side."

Ye Luo spoke indifferently.

"Are you trying to say, because you are so powerful, you’ll naturally have lots of women around you?" Li Wanqin said with a complex expression.

"That should be the case for now, regardless, I could never give up on you."

Ye Luo curled his lips and then turned and left.

Watching Ye Luo’s departing figure, Li Wanqin’s expression flickered with support and carried a trace of desolation.

...

"Where have you been?" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

When Ye Luo returned to Ling Corporation and entered his office, he saw Ling Qingya’s expression.

"Oh, I had some matters to deal with."

Ye Luo said casually, naturally, he couldn’t possibly say that he went to buy a house with your best friend and subordinate; that would probably blow up this office. Most importantly, his mission would have completely failed.

"You’ve only been at the company for a few days, and you keep disappearing without even reporting. Do you really think this is your own home?"

Ling Qingya’s face was stern as she coldly stated at Ye Luo.

"Of course not, President, it’s just that I had an urgent matter and it was too hurried to explain. Plus, each and every one of the security guards here is extremely skilled, so nothing would happen even without me."

Ye Luo’s face broke into a teasing smile as he spoke.

"Hmph, if you leave the company again during work hours without permission, you might as well resign on your own initiative."

Ling Qingya spoke with a grave tone.

"Yes, I promise I will never leave without permission, and even if I do, I will seek your approval first."

Ye Luo spoke earnestly.

"Alright, change your clothes."

Ling Qingya stood up and walked outside.

"Change clothes? For what?"

Ye Luo looked puzzled as he watched Ling Qingya.

Ling Qingya suddenly wore an expression as if she was about to explode, staring at Ye Luo, "Have you forgotten? Today’s the jewelry auction held by Mingzhu Group in the afternoon?"

"Oh," Ye Luo realized, looking at the time; it was already close to one o’clock. He hadn’t realized how quickly time had passed.

"But President, I haven’t had lunch yet?"

Ye Luo looked at Ling Qingya with a pleading expression.

"Starve!"

Ling Qingya huffed and strode out.

"Damn, this is like torturing a fiancé, this woman, she is too much."

Ye Luo muttered, pursing his lips.

In the end, Ye Luo, still on an empty stomach, changed into a suit and accompanied Ling Qingya and her secretary Zhou Siqi in her car to the site of the jewelry auction. Naturally, Ye Luo took on the role of the driver.

Zhonghai, International Business Building, a comprehensive facility in Zhonghai City where the government hosted numerous large-scale events like land auctions, which were always held there.

This time, the auction held by Mingzhu Group in Zhonghai took place in this very building. To ensure the smooth running of the auction, Zhonghai police had mobilized a considerable number of officers to maintain order. Additionally, Mingzhu Group had deployed dozens of bodyguards to handle the security for the auction.

After all, the jewelry up for auction was exceptionally valuable, necessitating a high level of vigilance to prevent any accidents.
