Don’t try to fool me again!”"I'll teach those people a lesson first, how about that!" he seized the opportunity to divert her attention. But as it turned out, she wasn't always successful in being swa...The two women who had just arrived were somewhat surprised. They hadn't expected to be able to chat with Rong Ling like this. Excellent men are impeccable in every way, such as clothing, jewelry, watches, and wine. As long as Rong Ling is willing, he can naturally talk about these things with women. This change in attitude would naturally please other women. They had thought that Rong Ling was already He Ya's possession, but they hadn't expected that after driving He Ya away, Rong Ling would start chatting with other women instead, and it seemed like they were having a very good conversation!

The women, of course, wouldn't miss this opportunity and swarmed around Rong Ling. Tonight, Rong Ling wasn't as aloof as usual, instead he politely responded to the advances of the women present. This act caused He Ya's face to change slightly, suppressing her anger, she smiled and approached.

"Brother Rong, what are we talking about!"

The speaker immediately fell silent, as did Rong Ling. The atmosphere grew eerily quiet, implicitly revealing her unwelcome presence.

"It's nothing, just casual chat!" Rong Ling only replied with a light tone, his gaze, however, did not fall on He Ya.

He Ya's smile on her face almost cracked. She didn't understand where she had offended Rong Ling, making him suddenly treat her like this. From just now until now, his actions have all been showing that he doesn't welcome her.

"Big brother Rong, let's go find Bingbing. She wants to be with you the most!" She had no choice but to push Bingbing out again. Now that there were so many people around, she couldn't ask Rong Ling what was wrong. Because once she asked, she would definitely lose face. After all, this clearly showed everyone that something was wrong with her relationship with Rong Ling. This wouldn't benefit her plans at all!

It is obvious that this time, the "sacrificing Bingbing" tactic failed.

"See you later!" Rong Ling said lightly, destroying her.

He Yaya was stunned, staring at Rong Ling's cold expression with some disbelief. Her heart pounded with anxiety, and at the same time, she was even more confused. What was going on!

Her lips moved, and she desperately wanted to say something, anything, to change the situation. But suddenly, she didn't know what to say at all.

Several beauties around noticed Rong Ling's peculiar indifference towards He Ya. They looked at He Ya with strange eyes. There was a hint of schadenfreude in their hearts, but before things became clear, they were unwilling to show this scorn too overtly!

Then, Rong Ling's next move pushed this process forward!

"Miss Kong, I'm sorry…" A low voice, like fine wine, flowed out of Rong Ling's mouth. Miss Kong, upon meeting Rong Ling's deep gaze, her face flushed slightly, and then she saw Rong Ling gracefully raise his arm, his slender fingers gently swaying beside her ear. As she couldn't control her blush any further, Rong Ling naturally withdrew his hand, and towards her, a smile both charming and alluring spread across his face. "A few strands of your hair are loose, but believe me, it doesn't affect your beauty at all."

Suddenly, the woman's face flushed red like she had been drinking. Under Rong Ling's gaze, she couldn't control her shyness and lowered her head slightly.

Suddenly, all the other women were consumed by jealousy, eagerly hoping to find some flaw in their appearance so that Rong Ling would also pay attention to them. As for He Ya, she was so angry that she could only clench her teeth tightly to suppress the rage that was about to burst out of her!

That woman is nothing, but she comes from the small Kong family. She's just got an average-looking face at best. How can she surpass her and win Rong Ling's favor!

This act of hers, like an unspoken hint, made the women on one side understand. They no longer took He Ya seriously. In such situations, they subconsciously all hoped to bring down He Jia, this noble princess, from her state of flamboyant display to that of a disheveled, fallen bird!

The women began eagerly seeking out all sorts of opportunities and pretexts to chat.

“General Rong, how do you think these earrings look on me today!” The woman tilted her head slightly, revealing her graceful neck, then boldly leaned closer to Rong Ling, showcasing her femininity as much as possible in front of him. This was a test, a secret form of flirtation between men and women. Because Rong Ling had previously shown an appreciation for jewelry, the woman wasn't afraid that her intimacy would seem out of place.

Rong Ling leaned forward slightly, giving a polite smile that wasn't overly eager but nor did it seem indifferent. He looked at the earrings for a few seconds, accurately identifying their essence. His words of praise flowed out of his mouth with elegance, like a cello playing a beautiful melody. The woman blushed and giggled uncontrollably. This scene subtly attracted the attention of some other guests present.

Other women naturally wouldn't be outdone. With this woman's good example in front of them, they also began searching for their own jewelry and asked Rong Ling to appraise them. Some women even boldly pushed their breasts forward towards Rong Ling's face, saying that they wanted Rong Ling to appraise the jewel on their chest. In fact, they desperately hoped that Rong Ling's gaze would linger more on the area where the jewels were nestled in their cleavage!

At this moment, Rong Ling very naturally pulled Yu Xu out, indicating that he should join him in the appraisal. This was another exquisite Diamond King Fifth. The women present rarely didn't know that the old man in Yu Xu's family had stars on his shoulders, and his power was terrifying. Naturally, they were happy to be favored by this handsome guy. Anyway, whether it was Rong Ling or Yu Xu, if they were chosen by them, they would all be overjoyed.

For a moment, Rong Ling and Yu Xu were the center of attention. The woman's giggles and playful coos, like silver bells, echoed around them. Gradually, almost all eyes in the room turned towards them. From afar, Rong Ling and Yu Xu looked like a picture of perfect harmony: a handsome man and a beautiful woman engaging in a subtle yet palpable flirtation. It was enough to inspire envy and sighs of admiration from onlookers.

However, Rong Ling and Yu Xu's behavior tonight was a bit too showy. These two rarely joke with ladies. So everyone curiously looked around the woman beside the two men, wondering if there was something special about her that attracted their unusual attention. But after looking around, they didn't see any particularly stunning new faces. Instead, they noticed that the most beautiful woman present tonight seemed to be ignored!

Some clever people smiled coldly in their hearts, probably the wind direction was going to change!

Some have ulterior motives, a hidden cunning in their eyes, anticipating that things will unfold as they desire! Perhaps the He family will cede territory, giving them another foothold. Or perhaps, their daughters will get a chance to soar like phoenixes and find auspicious marriages.

He Ya was in a hurry!

This evening, she was the most beautiful presence. Many men cast their eyes upon her, so she was proud and pleased with herself. But now she stood here awkwardly, almost unable to speak, as if someone had suddenly splashed a bucket of rotten water on her, an embarrassment that made her feel like a sight to behold with disgust! She faintly sensed that everyone's gaze upon her seemed to contain mockery and ridicule! If she remained standing here foolishly, it would only make her lose face further. Regardless of what kind of stimulation Rong Ling had received tonight to treat her so coldly, she had to come up with a way to change the situation immediately!

First, she couldn't turn to her family for help because everyone was watching her!

Taking a deep breath, she forced herself to flash an even more perfect smile and seized the opportunity to interject. "Brother Rong, it seems like Bingbing has prepared a mysterious gift for you. Shall we go take a look"

As if he had wished it so, Rong Ling finally turned his gaze, which had always been cast upon another woman, towards her. She smiled even more beautifully, and her soft arm reached out, seeming gentle yet unusually precise as she took hold of Rong Ling's arm.

"Big Brother, let's go. I'm looking forward to it too, hehehe. I wonder what Bingbing will give you That girl even hid it from me, her little aunt!"

Without a trace, while feigning anger in her words, her slender body swayed like a willow branch. With a swift movement, she pushed the two women beside her aside, then naturally leaned against Rong Ling, clinging to him like a little bird.

"Is that so! That girl even prepared something for me on her own birthday, then I really have to go take a look! Ah Xu—"

Rong Ling called out, reaching out to pat Yu Xu's arm and beckoning him to join her. "Come on, let's go take a look together!"

He, raising his arm, happened to be the very one He Ya had just taken hold of!

He Ya's smile looked a bit strained, and she could barely maintain the tenderness on her face anymore. She wasn't sure if this was Rong Ling's carelessness or intention!

Yu Xu, however, remained unmoved, watching everything unfold. For the watch, for Lin Meng, he should cooperate fully.

"Good!" he replied cheerfully. "Hmm, the little girl's preparations are quite promising!"

Saying that, he slightly shifted his body and took a step forward, but—in a rather impolite manner—inserted himself into the tiny gap between Rong Ling and He Ya that Rong Ling had just created. At the same time, Rong Ling cooperated cleverly, shifting his body slightly to the side. He Ya was thus pushed outside, with Yu Xu standing in the middle, separated from Rong Ling!

This change happened too quickly; she didn't even have time to react. Once the situation was formed, she stood there dumbfounded and at a loss.

"Hey girl, aren't you leaving!"

Yu Xu smiled and asked He Ya, as if he wanted her to lead the way!

In such a situation, how could He Ya possibly bypass Yu Xu and specially walk a few steps to Rong Ling's side! She did this, believing that she wouldn't have to wait until tomorrow; this very night, immediately, her reputation would be ruined!

She let out a small, turbid sigh. She didn't know how she had managed to laugh.

"Good... Good!" His voice trembled, but he couldn't control it!

She was so shocked and angry, she was about to explode!

What's going on, what's happening!

Why is Rong Ling so strange tonight! It shouldn't be like this, it absolutely shouldn't be like this. In her imagination, she should be with a sweet smile, nestled beside Rong Ling like a little bird, letting everyone see how well suited and matched they are, how close they are! And then smoothly and naturally acknowledge that they should be a couple, that they should be together!

Oops! It's messed up!

There's no annoying Lin Meng anymore, but Rong Ling has gotten close to another woman. Why is that Why!

"Miss Kong!" As He Ya was lost in thought, Rong Ling suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at the woman surnamed Kong. A mature and sexy smile rose on his deep, intense face, causing her pupils to shrink involuntarily.

"If you can, please save the first dance for me!"

That low, raspy voice was truly intoxicating like fine wine. The woman surnamed Kong blushed again, her shy and hesitant response tinged with a blush. She felt as if she had been struck by Lady Luck herself tonight!

Including He and all the women around her, every woman cast envious glances at her. Those gazes gathered together, seeming to want to swallow her whole, burning hot to the point that even a blind man could feel it. The woman surnamed Kong did not fear, but instead raised a slightly smug smile, proudly thrusting her chest forward.

On that side, Rong Ling, who had stirred the pool of spring water, was already striding away on her own. Yu Xu followed playfully. He Ya froze, her heart roaring, her eyes almost reddened with anger. She had always been a heavenly favorite; when would she, under the gaze of so many people, have such an unrequited love! Filled with indignation and grievance, she had to follow in his footsteps, obviously stiff!

Yu Xu was absolutely deserving of the reward he was about to receive, and he even laughed gleefully. "Girl, later, your first dance, give it to your big brother!"

Brother!

This man actually dared to act all cheeky and called her "brother" in front of her, looking just like a street wolf who has eaten countless beauties with revealing outfits!

He Ya felt insulted, so she finally lost her composure and screamed.

"Don't get ahead of yourself!"

A roar from the east shook all into astonishment!

In such a situation, making such a commotion and uttering such words is not what a true lady should do. Especially, when the person involved comes from the renowned He family, who prides themselves on their upbringing and refinement!

He Ya was once again surrounded by fiery gazes. Realizing what had happened, she felt her face burning with shame. She had disgraced herself and tarnished the reputation of the He family! A woman of her background placed face above all else, valuing it more than her own life. How could she possibly tolerate such a situation Panicking, she quickly changed her expression, curling her lips into a flirtatious smile and lightly punching Yu Xu.

"Ugh, Yu Xu, you're teasing me again! I tell you, no way with you like this!"

This slightly flirtatious tone, coupled with her actions, gives the impression that she is very close to Yu Xu! Considering everything that happened tonight, and seeing how she was closer to Yu Xu than Rong Ling, people are quite confused. Who is this girl from He family actually friendly with!ould use. The watch was sent back, and your Uncle Qi couldn't fix it in time. Without your meddling, perhaps the watch would have already been fixed by your Uncle Qi and sent back. Tomorrow, you can l...
