"Xiangxiang, you absolutely cannot let yourself be infatuated with him!"

"It's the same old story, even if you do find yourself infatuated, you can't show it. He's a man with a family, already married!"

"Otherwise, not only will that young man and his wife feel awkward, but you'll also be suspected of being the other woman."

Capital City, early morning.

A Hongqi sedan heading towards the Golden Shore - Tingxiang Pavilion Villa.

Wang Huifang drove the car, her expression serious as she earnestly advised Long Xiang while watching the road ahead.

In the passenger seat, Long Xiang raised her eyebrows repeatedly.

She had been hearing her mother repeating these words since she was washing up this morning and was growing impatient.

Is that young man really that exceptional?

But no matter how exceptional he might be, there's no way he could captivate Long Xiang!

Wang Huifang's worries were completely unnecessary!

Long Xiang had already met the most exceptional man in the world—Crown Prince Ye Huan!

Moreover, she was the woman who had cried on the Crown Prince's right shoulder!

Way ahead of 99.99999% of her female peers!

Compared with the Crown Prince, what man could be called exceptional?

If they can't be called exceptional, how could they fascinate her?

"Don't worry, I won't be infatuated," Long Xiang said dismissively, waving her hand casually.

"Don't look so indifferent."

"I'm talking serious business with you!"

"Even if you are infatuated, absolutely do not show it!"

Wang Huifang's expression was stern as she scolded, hoping Long Xiang understood the gravity of the situation!

"I said, there's no way I'd be infatuated!"

"Who am I, Long Xiang? The queen of the underworld in the Capital City! Leader of the Rose Gang! On the road, I'm known as the Blood Rose! I've fought my way through mountains of bodies and seas of blood, broadened my horizons, gained insights, and seen the most exceptional men in the world!"

Long Xiang snorted impatiently and said, "Even if the young man you're talking about is exceptional, there's no way he could captivate me! If you don't believe me... here's the deal, if I really get captivated, and even show it poorly, I'll jump from the eighteenth floor!"

At this, Wang Huifang stumbled, nearly causing a crash.

However, seeing how confident Long Xiang was, her worry eased significantly.

Indeed, Long Xiang had grown up in a military compound and often met various elites with Uncle Ba in the underworld; she later became the famed Blood Rose, acquainted with many big shots.

This included business elites, military titan offspring, promising societal luminaries, top-tier entertainment stars, and young masters from top-tier families, all trying to woo Long Xiang.

Even Ye Ming, the third grandson of Huaxia's second-richest family, the Ye Family, had pursued Long Xiang fervently!

However, it was never heard that Long Xiang had been smitten by any of these men!

Not a single one.

Even against Ye Ming, the top young master of the Ye Family, Long Xiang was unimpressed and straightforwardly refused multiple times without showing any warmth!

Wang Huifang once wondered if her daughter might be frigid and was troubled by it for quite a while!

But now, she felt relieved because of her daughter's frigidity.

If she's frigid, she probably wouldn't be captivated by the Crown Prince, right?

...

"Strange, is no one really home?"

At noon, Wang Huifang knocked again on the villa door of Tingxiang Pavilion.

Still no response.

Hours have passed since the morning.

Every ten minutes, she would knock on the door.

Yet there was no response at all.

"Didn't you notify that 'exceptional young man' before coming here?" Long Xiang furrowed her brow.

Wang Huifang awkwardly shook her head, "I didn't. I only got his address, not his phone number. I thought if we came over in the morning, we'd surely meet him. Who knew he wouldn't be home."

"Let's go first. We can come back after finding out more," Long Xiang suggested.

"Alright."

With no other choice, Wang Huifang sighed.

She turned to leave with Long Xiang.

But just then.

"Click!"

The villa door opened!

"Oh no, oh no, we're going to be late!"

Two women hurriedly rushed out of the villa!

They were buttoning their office tops while running!

No time for stockings!

Bare white legs!

In a hurry!

They had been up too late last night and only just woke up at noon!

Both forgot it was the day of the Li Industrial Park's annual conference!

And they were each speaking as representatives for the Li Corporation and Tianyun International!

Half an hour left!

But running a bit, they stopped in their tracks after seeing Wang Huifang and Long Xiang at the gate.

Zhang Huimin, puzzled, tentatively asked, "Auntie, you are..."

"Oh oh oh, we're here looking for someone!"

Realizing, Wang Huifang brightened up.

Unaware that Long Xiang, upon seeing Su Qingqing, was left in a daze!

Wang Huifang asked Zhang Huimin with a smile, "Hello, are you Mr. Ye Huan's wife? Is Mr. Ye Huan home? A few days ago he kindly saved my father's life, and I came specifically to thank him."

"I... I don't know if he's home, I'll give him a call."

Zhang Huimin forced a smile and pulled out her phone, dialing while feeling somewhat annoyed.

Waking up to find Ye Huan not by her side!

Ye Huan, that scoundrel, must have snuck out after a meal while she was asleep last night!
