Wang Jingfei, upon seeing Ye Qiu step aside voluntarily, felt filled with contempt and disdain. He cursed silently, calling him a coward, before seating himself across from Xu Jiao.

With a smile that he thought was charming, he looked at Xu Jiao on the opposite side and said, "Beautiful lady, may I ask what you would like to eat? I'll treat you. I promise you won't have to eat this trash again."

Xu Jiao was still reeling from Ye Qiu's words—"She's my girlfriend."

From a young age, she had admired Ye Qiu. She might not have understood much as a child, but as time passed, her admiration for Ye Qiu unknowingly turned into love.

This love was deeply buried in her heart, impervious to any words, any person.

A few days ago, she had encountered Ye Qiu. Unexpectedly meeting the boy she'd liked for ten years left Xu Jiao feeling a bit dazed, as if she were still in fog, her mind not yet clear.

Then she saw Xu Lei, and upon seeing Xu Lei and listening to her talk about certain things, she began to have doubts about Xu Lei's identity.

Subsequently, her father brought Xu Lei into the villa. She went to him to reason things out, only to be informed that Xu Lei might be her eldest sister who had gone missing years ago.

At that moment, Xu Jiao felt both excited and helpless.

Excited that her eldest sister had been found, but helpless because she'd seen Xu Lei with Ye Qiu. Before knowing Xu Lei's identity, she had thought of competing against Xu Lei to win over Ye Qiu.

But after learning about Xu Lei's identity, could she really compete with her own sister for a man? That would make him her brother-in-law.

Yet, Xu Jiao felt a bit unwilling in her heart. She knew very well that kisses don't lead to pregnancy; her previous words were all intentional. However, she hadn't expected Ye Qiu would actually call her his girlfriend.

For a moment, Xu Jiao was dumbfounded. Even now, her mind felt muddled, but it was due to excitement.

While she was full of hope and lost in her wild thoughts, Wang Jingfei's words interrupted her thoughts, making her frown and her expression turn sour.

However, seeing it was the man who had handed her a tissue earlier. At this moment, with a smiling face, Xu Jiao decided not to get angry and just nodded, "I'm already full, no need."

"Oh come on, beautiful lady, how could you be full from those sloppy noodles? Let's have the waiter come and order."

Wang Jingfei snapped his fingers, but as he turned, he noticed Xu Jiao seemed to be searching for someone. His brow furrowed as he smiled, "Beautiful lady, there's no need to look. That loser has already left. Oh yeah, he accepted my million and then broke up with you."

"Broke up?"

Xu Jiao was momentarily stunned. What on earth, just broke up like that?

"Beautiful lady, what would you like to eat?"

While Xu Jiao was feeling chaotic and tangled inside, Wang Jingfei's incessant words, like buzzing flies, kept coming, making her irritated.

"Beautiful lady..."

Bang.

Just as Wang Jingfei was speaking, Xu Jiao slammed the table hard, startling Wang Jingfei.

Xu Jiao said, "Stop calling me 'lady'. I have a name!"

Wang Jingfei was taken aback, but immediately understood and nodded, "It's my mistake, my mistake. May I ask your name then, miss?"

Xu Jiao glanced at Wang Jingfei, finding him truly annoying, "Jiaojiao."

"Ah, Jiaojiao," Wang Jingfei said, "That's a name that sounds really good, quite nice."

Xu Jiao rolled her eyes; whatever it meant by nice. Having grown up around Xu Batian and often hanging out outside, she naturally recognized Wang Jingfei's intentions toward her, scoffing internally while she scanned the surroundings, finally spotting Ye Qiu at another table.

Upon seeing Ye Qiu, who was seated with a scantily clad, clearly social media-influencer-looking woman, talking about something and laughing, Xu Jiao felt displeased.

Wang Jingfei noticed where Xu Jiao was looking and, upon seeing a woman whom he considered his actually conversing with Ye Qiu, his brow furrowed.

The influencer woman seemed to sense something, looked over at Wang Jingfei, her eyes flashing briefly before she took out her phone and sent him a message.

Upon receiving the message, Wang Jingfei saw: "I'll help you retrieve that million from earlier, just trust me. In a few minutes, I'll have that loser under control! Love you muah muah!"

Reading the message, Wang Jingfei chuckled with satisfaction, nodding toward the influencer woman before looking back at Xu Jiao, who was fuming, saying, "Jiaojiao, see? That loser got the money and forgot you in an instant. It's not worth getting angry over him."

"Shut up."

Already filled with anger, Xu Jiao snapped at Wang Jingfei, momentarily confusing him, who then awkwardly laughed twice, but his demeanor resounded with malice, secretly thinking, "Little flirt, quite spicy. I'll have you in my grasp today and see if you're still so fierce once you're in bed."

What Wang Jingfei was musing about, Xu Jiao didn't care. To her, he was just an ant she could crush casually. If in a good mood, she might say a few words to him, if not, she wouldn't even bother.

Watching Ye Qiu conversing and laughing with the influencer, even sitting closely, Xu Jiao was furious inside, unsure of how to stop Ye Qiu, questioning under what identity she should intervene.

Xu Jiao fell into deep thought.

Right now, Ye Qiu was holding that scantily clad, ridiculously refined, influencer woman beside him, looking curiously at the woman's face, which seemed molded from clay.

"Hey, how did you get your face done? How come it's this exquisite?"

After scrutinizing for a moment, Ye Qiu even reached to pinch the influencer's nose.

Surprised, the influencer girl slapped away Ye Qiu's hand and then playfully said, "Oh, you're so annoying! I haven't had any work done; it's natural beauty."

Inside, she was cursing Ye Qiu: "Hmph, you country bumpkin, you don't understand a thing!"

Seeing her shamelessness, boasting loudly, Ye Qiu was speechless.

This face was altered excessively like an overdone Photoshop picture, the chin sharp enough to pierce someone, those big eyes, like copper bells.

"Oh, don't stare at me so intently; you're making me shy."

The influencer said.

"Shy over what."

Ye Qiu replied.

Rolling her eyes at Ye Qiu, the influencer girl didn't want to waste more words with him, directly zeroing in on the matter: "Did Wang Jingfei just give you a million?"

"Yeah, what's up?"

Ye Qiu asked, then suddenly panicked, clutching his chest, "What do you want? You're not planning to rob me, are you!"

Seeing Ye Qiu's reaction, the influencer girl felt even greater contempt inside. But to get Ye Qiu's bank card, she wrapped her arm around Ye Qiu's, then sweetly said, "Aw, what kind of person do you take me for? I'm just curious. I've never seen a bank card with a million; could you show me what one looks like?"
