In front of Liu Zixuan, expressing love to Liu Ruyan.

Is it really okay to so openly try to steal someone's partner!

Before Liu Ruyan could respond, Zixuan spoke up: "Hey, are you blind, can't you see I'm right here!"

"Seeing... or not seeing, does it really make any difference?"

The gentleman gave a warm smile: "If you can't even afford a piece of jade, what right do you have to be this beautiful lady's boyfriend? Even if you are her boyfriend, it doesn't stop others from appreciating her beauty!"

Damn!

This comment nearly had Liu Zixuan giving him a thumbs up.

Liu Ruyan walked over, tugging at Liu Zixuan's sleeve: "Alright, just ignore him!"

Sometimes, when faced with a competitor, the confrontation might not work, and the dispute can often be settled with just a sentence!

With that one line, Liu Ruyan made the gentleman speechless!

Ignoring him just meant that Liu Ruyan regarded him as nothing!

In terms of looks and demeanor, the man considered himself top-notch. Plenty of beautiful women had thrown themselves at him before! Yet today, this lady didn't even give him a second glance!

This only fueled his possessive desire further, wanting to get to know Liu Ruyan!

With a slight smile, he said to Ruyan: "Miss, with such a penniless boyfriend, you'll never enjoy a good life. While love is important, you can't let it blind you to reality."

"My surname is You, with a single name Long. I own two properties, three cars each worth over a million, and a store. In total, not much, just over thirty million."

Liu Ruyan furrowed her brows, forcing a smile: "Are you flaunting your wealth to me?"

"No, I'm just letting you know who I am," the man continued.

Liu Ruyan chuckled awkwardly: "Sorry, I have no interest in knowing you at all."

"Huh?"

You Long frowned, usually when he said things like this, girls would go crazy for him.

This Liu Ruyan had no interest!

This beauty seemed different from the usual ones!

Persisting, he continued, "Miss, maybe you're not interested in money, but I also have knowledge. I'm just a graduate from Star Sea C25 Medical Academy, equivalent to a doctoral degree. And in the medical field, I've just qualified as an expert professor."

Showing off, boasting, bragging!

You Long's words practically defined these terms.

Upon hearing this, Liu Zixuan couldn't help but chuckle. Expert professor? If you're that skilled, why aren't you in a medical society instead of running a store?

If every professor-level doctor in Star Sea is as boastful as you, the medical community is in real trouble!

"Why are you laughing? Are you mocking yourself for not being as capable as me?" You Long asked.

Liu Zixuan shook his head: "Go on bragging, I'm listening."

"What do you mean bragging? I'm talking about my capabilities!"

Feeling more excited, You Long stepped forward, looking down on Liu Zixuan: "Do you have properties? I do!"

"Yeah, but I have Ruyan!" Liu Zixuan said, wrapping his arm around Ruyan's waist with a smile.

"I have three cars, do you have any?"

"I have Ruyan!"

"I have a doctorate, professor titles, do you have any?"

"I have Ruyan!"

"Is there anything you have besides Ruyan?" You Long mocked.

"With her, do I need anything else?" Liu Zixuan retorted.

Initially thinking he had a formidable rival, Liu Zixuan could tell through this exchange that You Long was just someone who liked to show off.

Even some of his words and actions seemed laughable and incredibly childish!

As many say nowadays, truly awesome people like to keep a low profile! Only those who are lacking boast and brag!

It seems You Long is exactly that kind of person!

Rendered speechless by Liu Zixuan's words, just as You Long was about to say something, Liu Ruyan suddenly cut him off.

"You Long, right!"

"Thank you, beauty, for remembering my name." You Long smiled.

Hearing this made Liu Ruyan feel like vomiting. The more she listened, the more she felt You Long was nagging like an old lady. Not manly at all!

A look of displeasure flashed in her eyes, and she said, "Firstly, we don't have time to waste talking to you, and secondly, the gentleman beside me is my husband. I'm not happy with what you said about him."

"Lastly!" She turned her tone sharply: "All the wealth you mentioned together doesn't compare to even a tenth of my husband's! And you claim to be a professor and expert in medicine, but in my opinion, your medical skills compared to my husband's are worlds apart!"

"I... you... he..." You Long was at a loss for words.

Liu Zixuan shrugged: "I was actually curious to hear him keep bragging."

"Boasting needs moderation, overdoing it can be nauseating." Liu Ruyan smiled sweetly at Liu Zixuan, her gaze hinting at a question, as if to ask how she did just now.

Of course, Liu Zixuan would give her full marks. With such a wife, there was no fear of her running away with someone else!

She really did him proud!

"Excuse me, are you still buying this jade?" The shop owner, overhearing their conversation, asked.

"Yes, I have to buy it." Liu Zixuan replied with a smile.

Just as he finished speaking, You Long added: "I'm buying it too, and for a higher price. I'll get upset even if you offer me a discount!"

"Zixuan, why don't we just forget it, let's look at another store." Liu Ruyan suggested.

"We can't leave." You Long blocked the doorway: "We have to fight for dignity even if we're not competing for bread. Today, I must compare wealth with him, and then we'll compare medical skills too!"

"Idiot!" Liu Ruyan blurted out instinctively. They'd already spelled it out for him, if he were any smarter, he would've left by now, still wanting to compete!

Looks like today someone won't back down without a slap in the face!

Liu Ruyan shrugged at Liu Zixuan: "It's up to you now."

"No problem at all." Liu Zixuan nodded, then said to You Long, "Alright, tell me how we should compete!"

At this point, the shop owner spoke up, addressing Liu Zixuan: "Young man, it's not worth it to compete. You Long is quite famous around here, and he was telling the truth. From what I can see, you and your wife seem very in love, maybe just walk away and don't embarrass yourself in front of her!"

Liu Zixuan grinned: "Thanks for the advice, but I don't believe it will come to that!"
