Chapter 998: Chapter 1039: He is My Man

"Miss Yanzi, let me introduce you... This is Gu Yanan, who has come from the Capital of Huaxia. The Gu Family in the Capital is quite a remarkable family, and Young Master Gu is the most distinguished young talent of the family," Zhentao said as soon as the holy woman arrived, he hurried to help the holy woman introduce several people, including Wei Zijun. However, deciding who to introduce first was somewhat headache-inducing, so he could only introduce them based on their proximity to the holy woman, ensuring no breach in etiquette.

Gu Yanan smiled and extended his hand to the holy woman, saying, "Miss Yanzi, I am Gu Yanan. I truly did not expect to see such a beautiful lady here, it’s indeed a great fortune across three lifetimes."

When the holy woman used this identity, only a few people in the world had seen her true face. Although it was rumored outside that she was definitely on par with Su Mengxin, as one of the two great beauties of this world, it was more so because of the holy woman’s identity and her mystery.

Thus, these people had no idea that the Yanzi before them was the holy woman, a beauty comparable to Su Mengxin, and moreover, a blonde beauty. Even for individuals like Gu Yanan, Wei Zijun, and Gu Qianjun, they couldn’t help but be stirred.

Logically speaking, the appearance of the holy woman and Su Mengxin was neck and neck. While they acted rather normally when seeing Su Mengxin, the sight of the holy woman caused them to lose composure somewhat. The reason was simple - they were all familiar with Su Mengxin and had seen her many times. Even if Wei Zijun had seen Su Mengxin only a few times, he had seen her through various channels. However, it was their first time seeing the holy woman, a foreigner, which naturally brought a stunning impression.

The holy woman softly shook hands with Gu Yanan and said with a smile, "It’s very nice to meet you."

"This is Wei Zijun, from the Wei Family of South Su, currently in charge of half of the Su Family’s assets."

Wei Zijun couldn’t help but stare at the holy woman and said, "Nice to meet you, Miss Yanzi. I hope we have the opportunity to cooperate in the future."

The holy woman maintained her graceful demeanor, shook hands gently with Wei Zijun and said, "It’s very nice to meet you."

Gu Qianjun, without waiting for Zhentao’s introduction, stepped forward and said, "Miss Yanzi, I’m Gu Qianjun. I’m still single. I’m not sure if you have someone in mind yet, but if not, I’d like to pursue you."

The holy woman glanced at Li Yifei and said, "Sorry, that man is my man."

Gu Yanan, Wei Zijun, and Meng Qianjun all suddenly turned to look at Li Yifei, then shook their heads in unison. They didn’t believe the holy woman’s words.

Not only those three, but even Zhentao was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head. Li Yifei already had a woman like Su Mengxin, so how could the holy woman possibly go with Su Mengxin and Li Yifei?

Yet, at that moment, the holy woman walked elegantly over to Li Yifei’s side, squinting her eyes at him, "Yifei, why have you been so busy lately? It’s been such a long time since you’ve sought me out. I won’t accept it anymore, you have to accompany me tonight."

These words had already shocked Wei Zijun and the others, and right after the holy woman finished speaking, she suddenly hooked her arm through Li Yifei’s, looking past him to Su Mengxin with a smile, "Sister Mengxin, I’m going to snatch Yifei away tonight, you’re not allowed to compete with me."

Su Mengxin gave a slight smile and said, "No problem."

Li Yifei just felt eight pairs of eyes staring at him intensely, the holy woman’s behavior definitely angered the four men opposite, and Su Mengxin’s attitude likely drove them crazy.

However, Li Yifei didn’t feel that the holy woman was causing him any trouble. These three men were his enemies, and he would face them sooner or later. Moreover, the holy woman had woken Xu Yingying up; simply based on this kindness, Li Yifei would tolerate whatever the holy woman did.

Of course, he now also understood that the holy woman didn’t truly want anything with him, nor had he really earned her heartfelt admiration or made her fall completely for him. The holy woman said this merely to avoid being harassed by those three men.

With a composed smile, Li Yifei said to Zhentao, "Secretary Song, you’re the host, after all. These three Young Masters have come from afar as guests; you’re not going to leave them standing at the door, right?"

Zhentao then came to his senses, shook his head and said, "I’m telling you, Yifei, what kind of act is this? It seems like you and the holy woman haven’t known each other for long, right? How come... this really is a situation where comparisons are odious."

The holy woman chuckled softly and said, "Secretary Song, using a phrase from your Huaxia, this is fate, right?"

Zhentao laughed and said, "Yes, it’s fate, but it feels like this fate never lands on me."

The holy woman blinked and said, "Secretary Song, even if there was fate, would you dare to accept it?"

Song Zhentao said awkwardly, "I wouldn’t dare, I dare not be as romantic and passionate as Young Master Li. If I were, I’d have to go home and start farming right away. Come on, Young Master Wei, Young Master Gu, Young Master Meng, let’s head inside." Seeing that these three were still staring at Miss Yanzi, he felt slightly less ashamed. Otherwise, as the Municipal Party Secretary, it would be quite inappropriate.

Meng Qianjun suddenly shook his head and then glared at Li Yifei and roared, "Li Yifei, I was originally here just for a show regarding Meng Xiaojun’s trifling matter, but now you’ve gone and snatched the goddess of my dreams. I’ve decided I will be at odds with you."

Li Yifei chuckled and said, "Young Master Meng, that’s an honor for me. Having an opponent like you makes my life far from lonely. You are indeed the strongest opponent I have ever felt."

His sentence was not only a response to Meng Qianjun but also seemed to belittle Wei Zijun and Gu Yanan. However, both of them remained impassive, showing no reaction to Li Yifei’s provocation, which earned Li Yifei’s respect for their deep strategies.

A group of people moved to a private room. After some polite exchanges, Song Zhentao ended up taking the main seat, with Gu Yanan on his left and Wei Zijun on his right. Meng Qianjun sat next to Gu Yanan. Li Yifei wanted to sit next to Wei Zijun but was forcibly pulled by the holy lady to sit between her and Su Mengxin, placing the holy lady next to Meng Qianjun and Su Mengxin next to Wei Zijun. Yet, the table was large enough to keep a substantial distance between them, except for Li Yifei who was quite close to the two ladies.

At their level of society, there’s no need to specifically order dishes during a meal; the main thing was to dine together, chat, and build rapport.

At the table, personal enmities were not discussed. Even if there were significant grievances, these people could suppress them, chat and laugh over a meal as if they were old friends.

"Meng Qianjun, I’m really annoyed looking at you right now. I’d really like to have a fight with you," Meng Qianjun declared after having a drink and glaring at Li Yifei.

Li Yifei responded with a smile, "If you want to fight, I’d gladly oblige. But what exactly about me is annoying you?"

Meng Qianjun glanced at Su Mengxin and then the holy lady, and said through clenched teeth, "I just can’t stand you. You already have a wife, yet you seduced Mengxin away. I’m not going to bother with that since I believe Mengxin holds the highest status in your home. But what gives you the right to have Miss Yanzi follow you too?"

Gu Yanan smiled faintly and said, "That must be because Brother Yifei has his exceptional qualities, which is why Miss Yanzi is smitten. Clearly, Young Master Meng, you lack such qualities."

Meng Qianjun rolled his eyes and said, "I’m not convinced. I’m throwing down the gauntlet today; I will pursue Miss Yanzi and snatch her to be my wife."

Wei Zijun clapped and laughed, "Qianjun has put it well. I also declare my intention here. I am deeply in love with Mengxin, and I definitely won’t give up."

The holy lady pursed her lips and smiled, "Young Master Meng, thank you for thinking highly of me. I like being pursued; it shows my importance. Otherwise, Yifei doesn’t care about me and never thinks to visit."

This statement hit hard. Apparently, the angelic Miss Yanzi was actually pursuing Li Yifei—an exceptional woman pursuing a man, moreover, a married man surrounded by women. It seemed so unfair.

Meng Qianjun slammed the table and yelled, "This is infuriating! Pursuing Miss Yanzi is like rescuing her from misery. Miss Yanzi, just wait to marry me."

Wei Zijun laughed out loud, "Qianjun spoke well. I can’t let you outdo me. I must also rescue Mengxin from misery. Come, Mengxin, let’s have a drink."

Su Mengxin chuckled lightly and said, "Young Master Wei, you’re trying to steal my husband’s affections, which I don’t mind, but let’s skip the drink."

Holding up his glass, Wei Zijun said, "Mengxin, I know it’s abrupt to say this, but having a drink isn’t much, is it? I haven’t yet had the chance to drink with you."

Su Mengxin replied apologetically, "It’s not that I won’t drink with you, but I can’t drink right now."

"Why? Are you unwell?" Wei Zijun asked.

Touching her abdomen and smiling blissfully, Su Mengxin said, "It’s a bit of discomfort, but it’s not a bad thing. I’m... pregnant."

"What?" Everyone’s eyes widened in surprise.

They knew about Su Mengxin being with Li Yifei, but in their hearts, they didn’t see it as an unbreakable relationship since Li Yifei wasn’t only involved with Su Mengxin. If they found the right moment, there was still hope to pull Su Mengxin away from Li Yifei. However, Su Mengxin’s pregnancy with Li Yifei’s child was significantly different. It showed her complete devotion to Li Yifei. With this bond of a child, she would never leave him now, and the Su Family would stand with Li Yifei, making it considerably more troublesome for them to engage Li Yifei since it meant offending the Su Family, which they weren’t keen on doing.
