Chapter 879: Chapter 879: The Shameless Young Master Zhou

Zhou Yanbin frowned slightly and said with a fake smile, “Miss Liu, I think you may have some misunderstandings about me. I don’t come every day, just occasionally a few times. How can you call that harassing Xingtong?”

“Misunderstanding? What a coincidence, then, how come every time I visit Xingzhu Residence, I always happen to run into you? Are you deliberately coming to see Xingtong when you know I’m here, Master Zhou?”

Liu Ying looked at Zhou Yanbin with a smile and said calmly, “Then I’d like to ask, are you here to see Xingtong or to see me?”

Zhou Yanbin quickly said, “Of course, I’m here to see Xingtong. However, with such a beautiful lady as Miss Liu, whose looks are in no way inferior to Xingtong, it’s truly my lucky day to admire your beauty as well!”

“Hmph! Saying it so nicely, does that mean you want to two-time?”

Liu Ying sneered and mockingly said, “You claim to like Xingtong, yet you have thoughts about other women. Master Zhou, your shamelessness truly surprises me…”

Zhou Yanbin’s face stiffened slightly!

“Miss Liu, you might have misunderstood me. I was just being polite, I don’t know why you are targeting me on purpose.”

He frowned slightly, looking somewhat displeased.

After that, he hurriedly said to Yao Xingtong, “Xingtong, that’s not what I meant…”

“Master Zhou!”

However, before he could finish, Yao Xingtong interrupted him.

Yao Xingtong first looked at Liu Ying, shaking her head and said, “Sister Liu Ying, you don’t need to say any more.”

Then, she turned her gaze to Zhou Yanbin and said apologetically, “Master Zhou, I understand your feelings for me, and I know you are an excellent person, outstanding in every aspect! But love cannot be forced. It seems we are not suitable for each other, and I don’t want to just pick someone at random to settle with. Therefore, I cannot accept your feelings.”

“The person I’m looking for should be someone I can emotionally resonate with, who shares the same hobbies and life pursuits, someone who aligns with me spiritually. If you can’t meet these requirements, I could never accept you, nor could we come together. So, Master Zhou, there’s no need to spend your time on me. Everything you’re doing is in vain; it’s best you look for another suitable match.”

Zhou Yanbin furrowed his brows tightly, earnest expression on his face, “Xingtong, I might be able to fulfill those conditions you’ve mentioned! If you just give me a chance, I promise to become the person you want. Will you really not even give me a chance?”

In response, Yao Xingtong still shook her head, “Master Zhou, I’ve already said, you and I are not from the same world, and I’m very clear about the kind of man for me! The conditions I stated before won’t change, and I won’t accept any compromise in love beyond that.”

Zhou Yanbin’s face looked slightly gloomy. After a quick change of expression, he collected his emotions and, with a faint smile, sighed, “I understand, Miss Xingtong. Since you believe we are not suitable, I won’t bother you anymore.”

“That’s good, then I wish Master Zhou finds his happiness soon,” Yao Xingtong politely responded.

“Haha, thank you, Xingtong!”

Zhou Yanbin chuckled, his eyes flickered slightly, and then he turned his gaze to Liu Ying beside him and said with a smile, “Miss Liu, I wonder if you would do me the honor of attending my birthday party?”

“Oh? Master Zhou was rejected elsewhere and now wants to settle for less and use me as a substitute?” Liu Ying said with a face full of mockery.

“Miss Liu, I’m sincerely inviting you! We’ve met so many times; it can be said that we know each other. As friends, it’s quite normal for me to invite you to my birthday party, right?” Zhou Yanbin said with a calm smile.

“The event itself is indeed quite normal! But it seems to me that Master Zhou’s intentions here are a bit unusual,” Liu Ying said with a playful smile.

“What’s unusual?” Zhou Yanbin asked curiously.

“Haha, do I need to point it out? Your motives are ulterior!”

Liu Ying’s eyes were mischievous, “From the beginning, I noticed your gaze wasn’t right, always sneaking looks at me. You denied it when I pointed it out before, but now that chasing our Xingtong is hopeless, you’re no longer hiding it?”

“Hmph, you men are all the same, pretending to be gentlemen on the outside, but vile on the inside. Deep down, your minds are filthier than the water in a smelly ditch!” Liu Ying mocked.

Zhou Yanbin shrugged, speaking candidly, “Miss Liu, it seems you are straightforward. Speaking so bluntly without considering others’ feelings can easily offend people.”

He then changed the topic slightly, “However, I do indeed have thoughts of pursuing you because your beauty has truly moved me, making it hard for me not to fall for you! I believe that any man would think the same if they were in my position.”

Zhou Yanbin once had feelings for Yao Xingtong, but since she didn’t accept his pursuits, he naturally shifted his attention to Liu Ying.

After all, both of them are top-tier beauties, and it’s hard enough to see just one regularly, let alone two at the same time?

Especially Liu Ying, in his eyes, she was the epitome of a mature woman.

A stunning beauty like her could rival ancient temptresses like Daji and Imperial Concubine Yang, enchantresses causing havoc to kings!

If he couldn’t have such a beauty for himself, that would be a major regret in life! Of course, the desire to win her over emerged. But since he was pursuing Yao Xingtong before, he couldn’t show it too obviously. Now, there was no such concern.

“So you admit you’re pursuing me?” Liu Ying asked.

“Yes! Miss Liu, I hope you can give me a chance, let’s give ourselves a chance,” Zhou Yanbin nodded.

“You are honest, and I like honest people! Unfortunately, I don’t like you, so I can only reject you,” Liu Ying smiled gracefully.

“Miss Liu, why is that?”

“Because… I don’t like being someone’s second choice, especially not someone like you. You’re like worn-out shoes, uncomfortable to wear!”

Liu Ying’s red lips curled into a teasing smile.

Zhou Yanbin furrowed his brows, quickly relaxing them, and said, “Miss Liu, I don’t see it that way. I believe that outstanding men are the ones left behind! And I consider myself excellent in every aspect, certainly worthy of you.”

“Enough, no more nonsense! You’re not my type at all, plus I already have a boyfriend. Compared to my boyfriend, you’re far behind! So how could I possibly be interested in you?”

Liu Ying pouted, speaking indifferently.

“What? You have a boyfriend?”

Zhou Yanbin was stunned, shaking his head in disbelief, “As far as I know, Miss Liu, you’ve always been single. Although pursued by many, you’ve never shown any inclination towards men! Where did this boyfriend come from?”

Liu Ying chuckled, “Oh, so you know me well, do you? Can’t I have a boyfriend? Or do I have to report to you about my relationship status? Don’t you find this question ridiculous?”

Zhou Yanbin’s brows furrowed tightly, and he asked in a deep voice, “Pardon my boldness, but may I ask who your boyfriend is? Do I know him?”

“You don’t know him because that person is me!”

At this moment, a calm voice came from the side.
