Liu Kexin shook her head, “Whatever you need to say. Just say it here.”

Yu Miao smiled wryly, “Fine. I know you don’t like to be forced into a marriage and I don’t like it either. To be honest, when I decided to come here, I merely wanted to see what kind of a girl you are because I had never been rejected before. But the moment I saw you, I knew you were the right one for me.”

“I assume you know my family well. Girls will queue up outside the door if I want to look for a wife. But I haven’t. Because my family is very strict on that matter. They don’t want me to be like other descendants of wealthy families. And most importantly, I haven’t met anyone I liked.”

“I know I’m destined to find an extraordinary woman. Only the perfect angel can be a match for me. Kexin, I knew you were that angel the moment I saw you.”

“Kexin, I know you don’t feel anything for me right now, but it doesn’t matter. I’m a supporter of free love and I hate forced marriages too. Just give me chance to pursue you. We can give it a try. If you still feel nothing for me after that, I’ll give up and let you go and pursue your own happiness. That’s what true love is, after all.”

Xiao Bing sat in the car smoking as he listened to the young man. He found the chap quite a good talking, which was something he didn’t see in other useless children from wealthy families.

Liu Kexin apologized, “I’m sorry. I really do have a boyfriend. If… If you like, I can regard you as my brother.”

Liu Kexin’s clear, bright eyes made it hard for him to say no. Yu Miao sighed and said, “Kexin, I hope you will give this some consideration. Whether you agree to or not, I won’t give up. Also, don’t use a non-existent boyfriend as an excuse.”

Xiao Bing knew this was his cue. Heroes always show up at the last minute.

Xiao Bing opened the door and thought to himself, “This is not me feeling uncomfortable when seeing Liu Kexin with another guy. I’m just giving a friend a helping a hand.”

He pulled out his key and got out of the car. He strode towards them. As Liu Kexin was trying to form a reply to Yu Miao, she suddenly feel her tiny hands covered by someone’s big, warm hands. She whirled around and found Xiao Bing beside her.

“Brother Bing!” Delight sparkled in her eyes. She always felt light-hearted when Xiao Bing was by her side.

“I’m here.” The gentleness Xiao Bing was giving off unconsciously almost melted the girl’s heart. It was not put on. Xiao Bing just could not help behaving like this when he’s with this pure-hearted girl.

Xiao Bing’s chiseled face looked tender as he lightly ran his fingers through Liu Kexin’s slightly-tousled hair. Liu Kexin felt light-headed by this act.

There was jealousy and dismay in Yu Miao’s eyes. He didn’t think Liu Kexin was telling him the truth. So she does have a boyfriend. But so what if she has one? He’s fallen for this pure, childlike girl at first sight. He won’t let go so easily, boyfriend or no boyfriend.


Xiao Bing asked in a very gentle tone, “Is this your friend? Why didn’t you introduce him to me?”

“Right.” Now that Xiao Bing was here, Liu Kexin had the courage to say no. After all, Yu Miao’s parents had done her family a significant favor. They would regard her family as ingrates if she refused him without an excuse. Her father was an erudite scholar who attached great importance to honor.

Looking at Yu Miao, Liu Kexin gently grabbed Xiao Bing by the arm. She was familiar with it since she had done it many times. “This is my boyfriend, Xiao Bing. He’s the owner of a noodle house. Brother Bing, this is Yu Miao, the only son of uncle Yu. Uncle Yu did my family a big favor years ago and he’s a good friend of my father.”

“So you’re of the Yu family I’ve heard so much about you from uncle Liu. He has always been grateful to your family. It’s a pleasure to meet you.” Xiao Bing reached out his hand politely. But the hidden meaning behind his words was that he had developed an intimate relationship with her family, since they told him all about their past. It was a warning to Yu Miao.

Yu Miao sensed the meaning behind Xiao Bing’s words. He replied with a certain aggressiveness while politely shaking hands, “Then I assume Uncle Liu must have told you other things about Kexin and I. For example, the…”

Xiao Bing guffawed, “Of course. I heard that you two were betrothed to each other when you were still in your mothers’ wombs. But I don’t mind. They are just stories of the olden times. I assume we open-minded youngsters will only see it as a joke.”

“Shameless!” It was the only word Yu Miao could think of to describe what Xiao Bing just said. Yet he seemed to exude such awesome energy, like someone from the military. He wanted to refute yet he found no flaw in Xiao Bing’s words. He had to change the topic. He turned around and looked at his beloved Liu Kexin. “Kexin, my father has always wanted to see you. Maybe you can pay him a visit some time?” he asked sincerely.

Xiao Bing answered for the girl, “I’m quite sure that you are a decent man, but I’m afraid it’s not appropriate for a girl to go with another man, especially when this girl is my girlfriend. How about this? We will pay your father a visit and show him our gratitude when we have time.”

There was a swift and fierce glitter in Yu Miao’s eyes. Xiao Bing noticed it and deemed this man difficult to deal with, though he seemed very polite. But Xiao Bing did not care. He even deemed this man not qualified to be his rival. He was just one of the many who add flavor to Xiao Bing’s life. After all, a man could die of fatigue if he was always scheming against cunning enemies like Master Hou, Zhuge Jiangnan and Lord Long.

There was a life to live besides work.

As for Xiao Bing, he could always find the joys of life amid its trivialities.

Hearing what Xiao Bing said, others would choose either to be angry or be silent. But Yu Miao chose differently, proving himself to be very different from other rich brats. He’s not clearly not an ordinary young man.

Yu Miao nodded and said in a strangely sincere tone, “If that’s the case, then please pay us a visit with Kexin if you have time, Mr. Xiao. My father has always wanted to see what Uncle Liu’s daughter has grown up to be.”

As the saying goes, you cannot strike a person who smiles at you. Since Yu Miao was so respectful, Xiao Bing would look petty if he kept provoking Yu Miao.

Xiao Bing nodded, “I definitely will.”

“I’ve booked a table at the Nine Heavens tonight and I’d like to invite you both to dinner. I didn’t know would be here, Mr. Xiao. But I could ask them to add a couple more dishes. What do you say? It’s okay if you don’t like it. I’ll just tell them to cancel the reservation.”

“Impressive. What he said is really irrefutable. If Kexin or I refused, it would make us seem narrow-minded. Are rich kids this cunning nowadays?” Xiao Bing grinned, “Why not? Kexin, let’s dine with him tonight, since he has invited us.”

Yu Miao opened his car door and said, “Please.”

“No need.” Xiao Bing and Liu Kexin walked hand in hand to Xiao Bing’s car. “We will meet you there.”

Yu Miao got into his car without a word and drove to the restaurant.

Xiao Bing had been there once on Master Hou’s invitation and the Nine Heavens was Master Hou’s property. Xiao Bing even had a Platinum Membership card.

Only a few places in the country were as fancy as this. So a platinum membership was extremely valuable. To be an platinum member, one must transfer at least 10 million to his card and the balance in it must always be over 100 million. It can be said that anyone who held a platinum card was definitely someone of importance.

After Liu Kexin fastened her seatbelt. Xiao Bing put his hands on the steering wheel and drove to the Nine Heavens. “I’m sorry. You must’ve been so worried the two days you lost touch with me.”

“It’s okay.” Liu Kexin said faintly, “I should be the one to apologize. I’m bothering you again and involving you in another problem.”

Xiao Bing guffawed, “This is no trouble for me. I’m just playing with you kids.”

Liu Kexin was startled and cast Xiao Bing a glance of surprise.

Xiao Bing turned his head and saw the surprise in the girl’s eyes. He could not help asking, “Why are you so surprised?”

“I just feel that you seem like one who has gone through a great deal… Like a man who has been living for centuries.”

“Am I?” Xiao Bing touched his face with one hand while thinking of the things he had been through, the ordeals he had experienced in the Dragon Teeth, and the life-risking danger in establishing it, the death of Su Peiya. There was a hint of sadness in his eyes. “Maybe it’s because I’m getting old…”

“No. You’re actually very young… and pretty handsome.” Liu Kexin became shy after saying this and she could feel the flutter of her heart.
