Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

There was still a hint of fear in Li Leyi’s eyes but he wanted to be a gentleman. Thus, he asked, “What’s the matter?”

Cui Si smiled at his response.

He was indeed a handsome man. If she brought him along, that woman would be absolutely irritated. She might even be able to get rid of that scumbag Chen Lin on the spot.

“Well…”

Cui Si told Li Leyi the whole story. By the end of it, Li Leyi was furious. How could there be such a scumbag in this world?

“No problem, I’ll help you with this!”

Cui Si was reassured by Li Leyi’s response. As expected, there were many good people in this world.

Unlike the system, which could not even give her a man.

[Warning! If the host dares to slander the system again, the bond will be broken.]

Cui Si instantly apologized in her head. She still hoped that she would still have the system by her side in the future.

Ring…ring…ring

“Cui Si, six o’clock tonight at Hilton Hotel. Don’t you dare back out now.”

Cui Si looked at Li Leyi next to her and she immediately felt confident. “Don’t worry, I will be there.”

She hung up the phone and agreed on a time to meet up with Leyi.

By evening, Li Leyi had changed into a well-ironed suit before he rushed over to Cui Si’s doorstep. When she opened her door, she stared blankly at him and started to drool.

Li Leyi was speechless when he saw Cui Si’s expression upon seeing him. Perhaps he shouldn’t have agreed to help her.

Cui Si wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth and nodded in satisfaction. She was fearless now.

When the couple arrived at the entrance of the hotel, Li Leyi happened to meet a friend he had not seen for a long time. He stopped to greet his friend, so Cui Si walked in first.

When Zhang Cuihua saw Cui Si walking in alone, she had an evil grin on her face.

“Didn’t you say that you had a man? Why did you come alone, then? Are you afraid that I would snatch him away too?”

Chen Lin also sneered as he stood next to Zhang Cuihua. He did not expect Cui Si to shamelessly come alone.

Cui Si remained silent as she sat down and quietly waited for Leyi. She had decided to ignore them for the time being.

But Zhang Cuihua misunderstood Cui Si’s behavior, thinking that she had fallen silent out of embarrassment.

“Young people nowadays are so unreliable. They are willing to say anything but not own up to their word-”

She stopped mid-sentence as she stared straight ahead.

Chen Lin, who had been feeling pleased with himself, also looked in the same direction curiously. The arrogant couple had just seen Li Leyi walk in. 

Leyi walked towards the trio with a smile on his face. The moment his mouth curled up, Zhang Cuihua hurriedly pushed Chen Lin to the side.

She had met many handsome men like him in the past, and they would usually only appear to approach women like her.

As Li Leyi approached, Zhang Cuihua stretched out her hand. “Hello, I’m Zhang Cuihua…”

But he completely ignored her as he walked past her towards Cui Si. “Babe, I’m sorry. I met a friend I haven’t seen for a long time just now and had to catch up with him for a bit.”

Chen Lin felt as if he had been struck by lightning. How was this possible? With Cui Si’s looks, how could she have found such a handsome man?

Did her car and nickel come from this man?

Zhang Cuihua stood there furiously. How could a woman with her looks and money be ignored by someone as handsome as him?

This handsome boy was also rich. Only such a man was worthy of her, Zhang Cuihua. Chen Lin was just a pet to her!

Even as they sat at the dinner table, Zhang Cuihua’s eyes never left Leyi.

She was still thinking of ways to steal him away. Chen Lin could just be tossed aside for all she cared.

Chen Lin started to feel a sense of crisis as he regretted his decisions. Why did he have to go to such a shameless dinner party?

The sight of Zhang Cuihua’s and Chen Lin’s behaviors truly amused Cui Hua as she smiled at the couple across from her.

“Hey, handsome. What’s your name?”

Unfortunately for Zhang Cuihua, Li Leyi did not even look up as he focused on cutting the steak for Cui Si. It was as if he did not hear Zhang Cuihua at all.

“His name is Li Leyi and he is happily in love with me.”

Cui Si looked up instead and smugly replied to Zhang Cuihua. The pleasure of revenge was too great, especially when Li Leyi’s performance was so good.

Zhang Cuihua turned angry. “Did I ask you? Why are you so talkative?”

Li Leyi raised his head at this moment. His gaze was ice-cold which made the couple across from him shudder. “My woman had already answered for me. Do you have a problem with that?”

Chen Lin slammed the table as he stood up. This was the time for him to step up and reclaim his pride in front of Zhang Cuihua.

“Who the f*ck do you think you’re talking to?”

Li Leyi also stood up and looked at Chen Lin coldly. Cui Si hurriedly stood up and tugged at Li Leyi who eventually sat back down.

Since the other party was seated, Chen Lin also sat back down in satisfaction as he casually flaunted the watch he had just bought on his wrist.

“Li Leyi, right?”

“What kind of business do you run? Don’t you even have a watch?”
