While Xu Fan and Tongtong were dining at Lu Chennong’s villa, at the Xinghai Entertainment company, a flashy, flamboyant blue Maserati sports car perfectly drifted to a stop in front of the company building.

The sports car, worth more than three million, had just appeared and immediately attracted the envious gazes of everyone around. The luxury emblem and sleek design widened many eyes, prompting speculation about who might be inside.

The Qin family’s eldest son, Qin Haowen, opened the car’s automatic door and leaped out.

He was dressed in a stylish white Armani suit, his hair done in the most popular fresh young meat hairstyle, and he had a light touch of makeup on his face, presenting an appearance that matched perfectly with the aesthetic preference of naive young girls.

From the car, Qin Haowen took a huge bouquet of fresh flowers that he had specially reserved from Rose Manor in Zhonghai City — all 99 of them, with petals in vibrant purples and reds, looking lush and charming.

Then, Qin Haowen picked up a gorgeously wrapped gift box from the passenger seat. The box contained a sapphire necklace, endorsed by the top model at the recent Paris Fashion Week, with a market price of as much as 880,000 Euros.

For Xu Yixue, Qin Haowen truly went all out, having heard from Li Lidong that Xu Yixue possessed quite a few new items of clothing and jewelry from Paris Fashion Week. He surmised that Xu Yixue must have a strong interest in the expensive jewelry released during that event.

This “Heart of the Ocean” sapphire necklace was sold worldwide in only five pieces, with the other four being purchased by the queen of the Daying Empire, Victoria, Princess Leonor of the Dubai Federation, the world’s most famous actress Scarlett, and Chinese star Yang Mi. The last piece was bought by Qin Haowen, who outbid others by 200,000 Euros from a scalper.

Giving something like lipstick or perfume seemed too low-end and plebeian; Qin Haowen believed that no woman could resist the temptation of this piece of jewelry.

A whole million Euros, or ten million Yan Country Currency, that’s enough to buy a company. Any woman who saw it would go crazy for it.

In reality, Qin Haowen had no intention of truly gifting the necklace to Xu Yixue. He planned to temporarily give it to her, trick her into his clutches, and then find an opportunity to take it back and switch it with a fake, selling the real one afterward.

Qin Haowen had tricked plenty of seemingly pure goddesses with this tactic, but by the time they discovered the truth, he would be long gone. Find fault? The young master Qin didn’t pick fights for no reason. They could only swallow their losses silently.

However, the “Heart of the Ocean” necklace Qin Haowen was currently holding was, in fact, the real deal.

Since Xu Yixue often shopped in Paris, she was likely knowledgeable about jewelry. If he presented her with a fake and she recognized it, Qin Haowen would be thoroughly embarrassed. So, he had to spend most of his private money to purchase this set of invaluable jewelry.

As noon approached, the sunlight turned hotter. Qin Haowen took out a pair of sunglasses from the car and placed them on his fair-skinned face.

Xu Yixue had blocked all his contact information, but it didn’t matter. He could run but he couldn’t hide; Qin Haowen waited like a hunter outside Xinghai Entertainment’s main entrance. Xu Yixue would have to come out when her work ended.

A security guard at the nearby door looked at Qin Haowen as he idled, leaning against the luxurious car’s door, envy clear as he said to a companion, “Look at the airs of this rich young master. If my dad were a big boss, I’d also be driving a luxury car and picking up girls every day.”

“Don’t just look at how handsome that lad is, or his fancy car. Our boss Xu has never had any regard for him,” another security guard said, taking a bit of pleasure in the other’s misfortune.

“Oh? So he’s not here to chase one of the stars from Xinghai Media, but to pursue our President Xu Yixue?”

“Of course, those second and third-tier stars of ours at Xinghai Media have long been taken by the big bosses. They’re picked up right after work, no chance for them to meet young men. Now, the only beauty in the company who’s still single is President Xu, and this rich second-generation guy has come for her. He’s been here several times already.”

“Damn, President Xu is my goddess, and this guy better not deceive her. Just looking at him, you can tell he’s no good, with a face whiter than a woman’s from all that makeup.”

“Relax, she never gives him the time of day, but the guy is really persistent. He’s been here a number of times and hasn’t been discouraged at all.”

“Dammit, I’d be willing to wait for President Xu at the door a hundred times, with her figure, her looks…”

“Are you out of your mind? With your lame looks, not even in a million years would President Xu give you a glance.”

“Crap, can’t you be a little less blunt? President Xu doesn’t fancy these slick rich second-generation guys, nor does she go for simple, unpolished laborers like us. So, what kind of man does President Xu like?”

“Dammit, if I knew, I’d be the chairman of Xinghai!” a security guard said irritably.

As the time approached noon, Qin Haowen, dripping with sweat, finally brightened up.

Xu Yixue, with her long snow-white legs, clicked her way out of the Xinghai Media building in her crystal high heels.

“Yixue, it’s been a few days. How have you been?” Qin Haowen rushed over to Xu Yixue, holding flowers and the “Heart of the Ocean” necklace.

“Qin Haowen? What are you doing here again? Haven’t I made myself clear to you already?” Xu Yixue looked at Qin Haowen somewhat helplessly.

“Yixue, this is the ‘Heart of the Ocean’ necklace that I deliberately got from Paris. There are only five in the world. I know you like it, so I went to great lengths to get it.” Qin Haowen slowly spoke as if with deep affection, picking up the jewelry box in his hand and extending it toward Xu Yixue.

Ye Xiaoning, who was behind Xu Yixue, saw Qin Haowen’s pretense of deep affection and turned her head to make a vomiting gesture. She was just that direct and sincere.

Xu Yixue was more composed. Looking at the exquisite jewelry box in Qin Haowen’s hand, she didn’t reach out to take it and instead said calmly, “I’m sorry, Mr. Qin, I won’t accept it. Please take it back. If there’s nothing else, I will be going now.”

Ye Xiaoning glanced at the thwarted Qin Haowen, feeling very happy, and vigorously shook her short hair, feeling exceptionally cheerful.

“Yixue! Do you know this ‘Heart of the Ocean’ is worth one million euros! Aren’t you moved at all?” Qin Haowen picked up the necklace, speaking somewhat incredulously.

“Heh, Mr. Qin, the price of this necklace is far too precious, so I, Xu Yixue, have even more reason not to accept it,” Xu Yixue said coldly, turning her head to leave.
