69: Chapter 68 You just looked so cool.

Ye Tian nodded at Wang Ke’er with a smile and immediately left with Liu Fei’er in the eyes of all the police officers and numerous hostages present.

Wang Ke’er watched Ye Tian and Liu Fei’er leave with a somewhat wistful look in her eyes and muttered under her breath, “Hmph!

Just leaves me with a mess again!

It’s not like I owe him anything!”

After a moment’s thought, Wang Ke’er smiled bitterly with a headache and seemed slightly dazed, as to what she was thinking, only she knew.

After leaving the bank, Ye Tian was holding Liu Fei’er’s hand tightly as if terrified she would run away.

Liu Fei’er felt touched with a blush of shyness on her face.

“Right, when are we going to that gathering you mentioned?” Ye Tian asked with a light laugh.

Liu Fei’er looked down at her clothes, stained with blood and various other marks, and said in a low voice, “I need to change my clothes first, I can’t go like this.”

Ye Tian chuckled, “Okay, I’ll pick you up later.”

Liu Fei’er nodded and headed straight home.

Before long, she emerged in a clean and tidy evening gown.

Just as she was about to call Ye Tian, she suddenly saw a young man in a suit holding a large bouquet of roses walking toward her—if one counted, there would be precisely nine hundred and ninety-nine roses!

Behind the young man, a group of bodyguards in black suits each had a rose pinned to their chest, emanating a majestic and noble atmosphere.

Seeing the young man, Liu Fei’er frowned slightly.

“Liu Zhuang!

What is this all about!”

“Fei’er, can’t you see my feelings for you by now?”

Liu Zhuang, with a gentle look on his handsome face, looked tenderly at Liu Fei’er.

He walked up to her, knelt on one knee, held the roses high, and spoke passionately, “Nine hundred ninety-nine roses, for my enduring love.

Can you feel my affection?”

“Since the moment I first saw you, I’ve been deeply in love with you.

Your laugh, your gentleness, your beauty, your cuteness, your occasional pouting, frowning, being upset, each expression, every gesture—everything about you is deeply etched in my heart.

It’s made me restless night after night; all I can think about is you.”

“Do you know?

Ever since you appeared, I’ve given up on going to bars and hanging out with friends, and I stopped being around other women.

Because I can’t accept other women; none of them is worth it—I do this only for you, the one I like.

Accept me, or it will hurt me to death.”

Liu Zhuang said a great deal, full of passion.

If it were someone else, they might have already been moved to tears.

After all, Liu Zhuang was quite handsome and came from a wealthy family, which explained the grand gesture!

However, Liu Fei’er looked displeased.

She didn’t like him at all.

They’d only met a few times and yet he was making such a declaration, which she found insincere and forceful!

Many girls might have agreed even if it was against their will, because who would reject a good-looking and rich suitor?

But Liu Fei’er didn’t need to.

Her family was wealthy enough, and she wouldn’t agree to Liu Zhuang, especially since her heart belonged to Ye Tian and him alone!

“I’m sorry, I’m already in love with someone else,” Liu Fei’er said calmly, ready to turn around and leave.

Yet Liu Zhuang grabbed her hand in a panic, “Fei’er, you can’t do this to me.

I love you so much, can you really be so heartless?”

Liu Fei’er felt a tinge of disgust, shook off his hand, and said indifferently, “Thanks for your feelings, but I’m in love with someone else.

I hope you can forget me and find someone better.”

“Love is a matter for two, and nothing good comes from force.”

Seeing Liu Zhuang’s ugly expression, Liu Fei’er added another line and was about to leave, but Liu Zhuang still held onto her hand, looking even more displeased, “Who is he!

In what ways is he better than me!

I…”

And suddenly, a roaring engine noise interrupted the scene.

Liu Zhuang turned his head to look and his expression changed; he hastily dropped the roses, let go of Liu Fei’er, and sprinted away, while the bodyguards also withdrew without any sense of decorum.

Liu Fei’er’s expression changed, but then she saw something and a slight smile curled on her lips, not at all frightened by the oncoming car.

A white BMW rushed forward and suddenly drifted sideways, crushing the roses in its path and scattering them all around with a fierce blast of air.

In the next moment, the driver’s door opened and Ye Tian stepped out nonchalantly, walked towards Liu Fei’er, extended his hand with a light chuckle, “Fei’er, let’s go.”

Liu Fei’er nodded, took Ye Tian’s hand, and with his guidance, stepped on the scattered roses and got into the passenger seat.

She gently closed the door, then Ye Tian entered, stepped on the gas pedal, kicking up a blast of air and a shower of rose petals as they drove away.

Liu Zhuang watched them leave, his face dark with rage and his eyes full of anger, and he roared with a cold fury, “Damn woman!

You just wait!!”

…

“You were really cool just now,” Liu Fei’er said as she sat in the car, turning to Ye Tian with a tender smile.

Ye Tian shrugged his shoulders and glanced at Liu Fei’er, “Even such a handsome guy like me didn’t succeed, and that poser has the gall to come over?

He’s practically asking for a slap in the face.”

Liu Fei’er chuckled and cast a feigning-annoyance glance at Ye Tian, “You didn’t succeed, huh?”

Watching the alluring and seductive Liu Fei’er, Ye Tian nearly lost his soul for a moment.

Especially since Liu Fei’er’s voluminous, wavy long hair cascaded over her shoulders, with just the right touch of makeup, which allowed Liu Fei’er’s every grin and smile to fully display a woman’s mature charm.

“Do you know if you smile at me like that, I might just drive the car into a ditch,” Ye Tian said with a resigned smile as he collected his thoughts.

“Fine by me, then I’ll accompany you to the netherworld,” Liu Fei’er replied, her eyes curving into two crescent moons, the long lashes layered together creating a mesmerizing beauty.

It took quite some self-control from Ye Tian; otherwise, they really would have ended up in the ditch.

Before long, they arrived at the place where the seaside gathering was being held.

From a distance, upon the shallow shores, there stood a luxurious yacht, slightly illuminated by the nighttime hues, the twinkling lights embellishing it, making it appear as beautiful as a painting.

After parking the car at the designated spot, Ye Tian looked around and gained an understanding of the gathering.

The vicinity was filled with various sports cars and luxury vehicles, indicating that those attending belonged to a high class, the elite of society in many people’s eyes.

Stepping out of the car, Ye Tian extended his arm, and Liu Fei’er casually hooked it, seeming as familiar as could be.

Ye Tian smiled and walked leisurely onto the yacht.

The yacht was divided into three levels, and at the moment, they were strolling onto the first floor.

Glancing around, the men appeared gentlemanly and dashing while the women were noble and graceful.

With some European-style decoration enhancing the setting, the room’s classiness also rose significantly.

Ye Tian, with Liu Fei’er in his arms, mingled among the crowd.

Liu Fei’er was quite popular, with many people coming forward to greet them – of course, this was limited to females or males with a female companion.

For Liu Fei’er, who was graceful and flirtatious, modest yet noble, became the center of attention as soon as she arrived.

Compared to Liu Fei’er, Ye Tian, despite being somewhat more handsome, became just a backdrop.

However, Ye Tian didn’t mind.

He was there to accompany Liu Fei’er, and was happy to see her held in high esteem.

At the same time, Ye Tian wisely let Liu Fei’er take the lead, only speaking up when appropriate and otherwise remaining silent, content to play second fiddle.

Whenever there was a lull in the company, Liu Fei’er, holding her wine glass, clinked glasses with Ye Tian before drinking and then inquired in a low voice, “This is the first time I’ve seen you so understated and gentlemanly.”

With a helpless shrug, Ye Tian said, “Would acting too low-key embarrass you?”

Liu Fei’er smiled gracefully, her lips lightly pursed, revealing a hint of wine-stained, glossy and tender red lips, enticing Ye Tian to the point of almost biting them.

Somewhere in the crowd, Liu Zhuang, who was chatting with some others, saw Liu Fei’er and Ye Tian enjoying themselves, so infuriated he nearly crushed the champagne flute in his hand!

A young man beside Liu Zhuang looked at him and said, “Brother Liu, want to set him up?

Such a fine lady taken by a swine really irritates me.

The only one who could possibly match Miss Fei’er is Brother Liu.”

Liu Zhuang’s lips curled into a smug smile, but he calmly glanced at the young man and asked, “What’s your plan?”

“It’s simple.” The young man leaned into Liu Zhuang’s ear and whispered a few words, then laughed, “I’ll go arrange it now.

You all head to private room number four later.”

Liu Zhuang smirked coldly and nodded, then made a subtle signal to a few people nearby and walked toward Liu Fei’er.

“Miss Fei’er, you look truly stunning today.” Approaching, Liu Zhuang smiled in a gentlemanly manner, lifted his glass, and clinked it against Liu Fei’er’s.

Liu Fei’er slightly frowned but didn’t say anything; she sipped her drink and then blatantly ignored Liu Zhuang, turning to Ye Tian, “Husband, let’s go.”

Ye Tian nodded, while Liu Zhuang beside them clenched his fist tightly around his champagne flute, a dark gleam flickering in his eyes.

However, he quickly took a deep breath and then turned to Ye Tian with a smile, “So this is your boyfriend?

Haven’t seen him before.

Don’t even know his name.

Maybe we’ll be friends in the future.”

“Just a nobody,” Ye Tian said elegantly, his smile undimmed as he wrapped his arm around Liu Fei’er’s slender waist to leave, but people behind Liu Zhuang subtly positioned themselves to block the way.

“What are you doing!” Without a word from Ye Tian, Liu Fei’er was already frowning, her expression icy as she looked at Liu Zhuang.

“No offense, just looking to make friends with my brother here,” Liu Zhuang said with a light chuckle, a glint of darkness in his eyes, “Brother, care to join us for a game upstairs?”

The upper level was where card gambling took place.

Many on board the cruise were there to play.

“Seems you won’t let us go if we don’t play,” Ye Tian said with a calm smile, gently tightening his hold to quieten Liu Fei’er, “Let’s go, I’d like to have a little match with my brother.”

Liu Zhuang was somewhat surprised, but more than that, he felt triumphant.

Hmph, as long as you agree, today I’ll have you crawling back home!

Let’s go!
