Du Meng's face revealed a satisfied, seductive smile. "Tsk, Sister A Xing, your mind is as sharp as ever! I absolutely adore your cleverness!"
However, brother needs you to confirm one thing! From now on, are you really going to be with me?
As he spoke, Du Meng's index finger rose uncontrollably, curling gently as it brushed against Su Xing's smooth cheek. The expression on her face was one of enjoyment, yet it sent chills down the spine.
Su Xing felt as if her back teeth might shatter under the pressure. She slightly lifted her chin, exposing her proud swan-like neck, but at that moment, she found it hard to reconcile her feelings.
All she could think was: I won't follow you for anything!
In the special private room on the third floor, Jing Qi Ge made his long-awaited return after years apart. The first scene of their reunion was somewhat difficult to behold.
Shen Jingyu had a strong and well-proportioned physique, impeccably dressed in a black shirt and trousers. He held a crystal glass filled with ice and strong liquor, swirling it before bringing it closer to his chiseled features. He seemed to murmur something softly to himself.
Ha! Still so eager to show off! The man's Adam's apple bobbed as he gulped down the entire glass of liquor and then casually tossed the glass out through a barely noticeable window.
With a loud crash, the empty glass shattered upon hitting the ground below.
Shen Jingyu made no sound; this small interruption was enough to break Su Xing and Du Meng's conversation until he personally approached them.
For just a moment, Su Xing lingered in thought but then looked up to see that familiar silhouette she had never been able to forget over the years.
He was back!
But upon his return, he found himself witnessing this unflattering side of her.
In that instant, Su Xing's emotions were a whirlwind of feelings. The past felt like a dream, vividly replaying in her mind.
At thirteen, Shen Jingyu had been reckless and self-destructive, and it was she who saved him in that bar. By sixteen, he had found his path in life—joining the military and attending university.
He would often come here, and she had helped him through his times of hardship until he left for abroad at twenty-three. They were like two waves in a vast ocean—rushing towards each other yet separated by mountains and seas.
Throughout those years, she had never forgotten him. But reaching out became impossible as time changed their appearances and circumstances.
Su Xing remained silent and lost in thought, seemingly unnoticed by the exuberant Du Meng.
He spat out an expletive: "Damn it! Who dares disturb my mood? Get them over here!"
Du Meng gestured widely with his jaw for his bodyguards to go apprehend someone while he narrowed his eyes, fixating on the elevator nearby. He wanted to see who might have slipped through the cracks here.
The dim lighting did nothing to diminish Shen Jingyu's commanding presence as the elevator doors opened. He strode forward with purpose, his gaze locked onto Su Xing’s face for just a moment.
Du Meng's bodyguards attempted to restrain Shen Jingyu but were met with his piercing glare that forced them back. In the brief pause of their steps, Shen Jingyu’s assistant Luo Hao swiftly took down both burly men with ease.
Shen Jingyu's footsteps were steady and unwavering as he came to a halt before Su Xing.
Su Xing's heart raced wildly, beating at its limit. He seemed even more handsome than years ago, more mature, and exuded a commanding presence that was different from the stylish youth he once was. At this moment, he carried an air of superiority that seemed to look down upon the world.
Su Xing felt an overwhelming pressure in their gaze, the seconds stretching into what felt like an eternity until she finally surrendered and broke the silence. Clearing her throat, she managed to say, "Ahem, hi?"
She wanted to say something like "Long time no see," but then thought, why should she be the one to lower her head? It felt as if she cared too much about him, as if she had been thinking about him all along.
At this moment, Shen Jingyu's thoughts were far less complicated than Su Xing's. Since he was thirteen, he had planted a single idea in his heart: to protect her for the rest of his life and never betray her. For this, he had endured countless hardships and shed countless tears and sweat, leading to this reunion and a future spent together.
Damn! How dare anyone break a cup in front of me? There are hardly any who can stand before me unscathed. Speak up! Who gave you the courage? Or give me a reason to spare your life!
Du Meng, who had been completely ignored, saw the noble and unassailable aura radiating from Shen Jingyu and adopted an arrogant demeanor as if trying to bluff his way through. Ultimately, he was just a jumping clown in comparison.
In front of Shen Jingyu, Du Meng appeared short and insignificant; his high-end brand clothing seemed utterly outclassed by Shen Jingyu's bespoke attire. Not to mention when Shen Jingyu spoke; his deep voice mixed with an intimidating presence struck fear into the already overconfident Du Meng.
"Get out of here! If you disturb the future lady of Shen Group again, the Du Family's glory will come to an end!"
Shen Jingyu didn't even spare Du Meng a glance. Yet his words sent a tremor through Su Xing's heart.
Indeed, there were rumors circulating that the number one conglomerate in Hua Country, Shen Group, had a mysterious heir who had suddenly appeared. Some said he was adopted by Shen Lao for his business acumen; others whispered about hidden scandals involving illegitimate children rising to power.
Su Xing could hardly believe that this young man—who had once been bullied by his stepbrother after his parents remarried—was now that heir. Back then, he hadn't seemed aware of his own background; perhaps he had hidden it too well?
In an instant, Su Xing's shock transformed into intense curiosity. Just the way he looked at her from a distance was enough to stir something deep within Shen Jingyu's already strong heart.
Their eyes met, as if they had a thousand words to exchange yet felt like familiar strangers unable to speak.
As Du Meng finally regained his composure, he realized that being able to say those words and still stand here amidst such scrutiny meant that Shen Jingyu must possess some real ability.
Searching through his mind for recent news about the Shen family, a look of astonishment surfaced in his eyes.
"You are... Shen Jingyu?!"
"Don't joke around. Even if your identity is true, the President of the Shen Group and Shen Lao himself have acknowledged you as their grandson. Do you really think you can marry a renowned beauty from the city's nightlife? Aren't you afraid of making Shen Lao furious and becoming a laughingstock for the entire nation? Hahaha!"
Du Meng's mocking laughter was like a sharp blade, piercing through Su Xing's already fluttering heart.
They could only hold onto memories now. Climbing to the heights of glory and associating with infamous women from nightclubs were worlds apart.
As if sensing Su Xing's shrinking heart, Shen Jingyu fixed his determined gaze on Su Xing and said, "I will marry her. Just wait and see."
In that moment, the light in Shen Jingyu's eyes nearly overwhelmed Su Xing's senses.
