Ye Qingfeng saw through all of this, of course, but didn’t care in the slightest. A woman like Ruan Qingyou, even if she threw herself at him, he wouldn’t want her.

He already had plenty of women in his life, and every single one of them was a top-tier beauty. Even Wang Liuying beside him, in looks and figure, was in no way inferior to that Ruan Qingyou.

It was just that Ruan Qingyou liked dressing up more and had stronger social skills, that was all.

"Hey beauty, here alone? Mind having a drink together?" At this moment, a man in an Armani suit walked over with a faint smile and looked at Wang Liuying as he spoke.

Wang Liuying was stunned for a moment, then shook her head. "Sorry, I have a boyfriend."

As she spoke, her eyes glanced at Ye Qingfeng.

The young man smiled faintly, looking very composed. Swirling the red wine in his hand, he said softly, "It’s fine, just think of it as making a new friend."

"Have a drink."

The young man extended his wine glass.

Wang Liuying instantly felt a bit awkward. This guy acted very gentlemanly, but there was an invisible aggressiveness in his approach that left her no way to retreat, making it hard to refuse.

She picked up her wine glass, feeling a little conflicted.

"Bro, you don’t mind letting me sit here a bit, right?" The young man looked at Ye Qingfeng and said with a smile.

He was very confident. This was a rather dull-looking guy; aside from a somewhat delicate face, he didn’t seem to have any real ability.

He was sure this man wouldn’t dare refuse.

"Get lost."

Ye Qingfeng’s face instantly turned cold.

The young man’s expression froze. He clearly hadn’t expected such an answer. His face immediately darkened as he said coldly, "What did you just say? Say that again if you’ve got the guts."

"I told you to get lost."

Leaning back on the sofa, Ye Qingfeng casually kicked the young man in the shin, instantly knocking him off balance and making him drop to his knees on the floor.

Qiu Yun and the others finally reacted and were stunned on the spot. How did this suddenly turn into a fight?

But Wang Liuying’s eyes lit up slightly.

"You lunatic, do you have any idea who I am? Are you tired of living?" The young man immediately jumped up and shouted angrily.

"An Xuan, what, you really think you’re some big shot?" At this moment, Ruan Qingyou and Guan Xun walked over.

"An Xuan, this is Maggie Bar, not your turf. Around here, it’s not your turn to throw your weight around." Guan Xun spoke in an even tone, hands in the pockets of his suit pants.

The way he looked was full of confidence.

"Guan Xun?" The youth called An Xuan’s pupils shrank slightly as he called out softly.

"An Xuan, everyone here is my girlfriend’s friend. If you dare cause trouble, I, Guan Xun, won’t let you off." Guan Xun said arrogantly.

His tone was extremely domineering.

Ruan Qingyou’s heart stirred slightly. She wasn’t Guan Xun’s girlfriend; he’d just been chasing her all this time. She only treated him like a sucker, a stepping stone.

But in a situation like this, she didn’t refute him, because Guan Xun was acting way too domineering, giving off a mature and steady vibe that completely crushed this guy named An Xuan.

Compared to Guan Xun, Qiu Yun, Pu Yuan, and the others present all seemed too childish. And that Ye Qingfeng she’d had a slight interest in earlier was nothing more than a reckless brute.

All he did when something happened was fight? This kind of behavior was exactly what Ruan Qingyou despised the most. People like that were just a bunch of incompetent weaklings.

Truly powerful people had massive capital behind them, their own network, resources, and methods. Those were the real strong ones; they wouldn’t act like some street punk and just start swinging.

"I wasn’t the one who started it. Your friend went too far. I just came over to say hi and have a drink, and he told me to get lost right off the bat, then kicked me. Don’t you think that’s going overboard?"

An Xuan said angrily. He had never suffered such humiliation before.

Although Guan Xun was indeed doing better than him, even Guan Xun himself couldn’t just bully him like this, let alone his girlfriend’s friends.

"Hmph, these people are under my protection. What happens to them is none of your damn business."

Guan Xun said domineeringly, which gave Qiu Yun, Xiao Mei, and Pu Yuan a bit of a jolt. Ruan Qingyou’s pursuer was really something, actually saying stuff like that.

Rich, powerful, and still willing to shield his woman like this. For a moment, even Xiao Mei and Qiu Yun felt a bit envious of Ruan Qingyou.

Ruan Qingyou’s beautiful eyes also shimmered. Guan Xun was her pursuer, and saying such protective things in front of her roommates made her feel very proud.

"But he indeed did something wrong here. How about this, Qingyou, have your friend apologize to An Xuan and then down a few drinks as punishment. For my sake, we’ll let this matter drop."

Guan Xun said with a faint smile.

He did not like Ye Qingfeng at all. Just now, he’d seen that guy chatting intimately with the woman he liked. If it weren’t for the need to act magnanimous in front of Ruan Qingyou, he wouldn’t have bothered with him.

"Ye Qingfeng, just apologize to An Xuan. Luckily, Guan Xun is here today, otherwise this would be a real headache." Ruan Qingyou turned to Ye Qingfeng and said.

In her heart, however, she looked down on Ye Qingfeng even more. This was the power of influence and status. Someone like Ye Qingfeng, who just threw punches, was nothing more than a little hoodlum.

Ye Qingfeng let out a cold laugh and didn’t say anything.

Seeing the atmosphere getting heavy, Qiu Yun hurriedly said, "Liuying, tell your friend to apologize, don’t make this a big deal."

"Yeah, better just apologize with a drink. He really shouldn’t have hit anyone in the first place." Qiu Yun’s boyfriend chimed in.

"You want me to apologize?" Ye Qingfeng chuckled. "What the hell is he, that he deserves that?"

"Guan Xun, you saw it. It’s not that I don’t give you face, it’s that this guy is way too arrogant. I have to teach him a lesson." An Xuan shouted angrily.

"Qingyou, your friend really doesn’t know what’s good for him. Someone like that, I can’t help."

Guan Xun’s tone turned cold, though inside he was delighted. He’d been wanting to see this guy get put in his place.

"Arrogant and full of himself, really disappointing."

Ruan Qingyou didn’t say anything out loud, but that’s what she thought. That faint trace of goodwill she’d felt toward Ye Qingfeng completely vanished.

Knowing when to advance or retreat, having presence, being mature and steady—those were the traits of someone who could achieve great things. Compared to Guan Xun, Ye Qingfeng was miles behind.

"Kid, now no one’s going to help you. Let’s see what you can do." An Xuan pointed a finger at Ye Qingfeng and sneered.

"Crack."

A crisp sound of bone snapping rang out. Ye Qingfeng was still sitting on the sofa, but one hand shot out and grabbed An Xuan’s finger. With a light twist, he directly snapped it.

An Xuan let out a scream, and in the next instant Ye Qingfeng’s leg lashed out, kicking him hard in the stomach and sending him flying. An Xuan crashed into the bar counter behind him.
