had every reason to pursue the matter further, but she didn't expect Luo Ningxi to be so straightforward: "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have fought with you in public. I hope you can forgive me."Next time I...On the other end of the phone, Luo Ningxi had just finished showering. Her face was still flushed from the steam, and when she heard the man's deep, sexy voice, her blush deepened even further!

This damn duck is so flirtatious!

He must have conned a lot of money from rich women with his mouth before...

Taking a deep breath, she said seriously, "I'm calling to tell you that my dad wants to meet you. It's set at the Changlong Hotel, tomorrow night at seven. Are you free"

Li Bochen said with a smile that wasn't quite a smile, "My wife has given an order, so of course I have time."

"Don't be a cheapskate, I'm talking about serious business!"

Luo Ningxi heard him suddenly call "wife," her heart skipping a beat for no reason.

He may have gotten used to speaking out boldly, but she hadn't adjusted to this change in identity yet. Her eyelashes trembled unnaturally.

Li Bochen lazily said, "What I said is the truth. Seven o'clock tomorrow night I do have time."

"Alright then, that's settled. By the way, my dad inviting you... it's probably a setup. He might even threaten or test you. Give me your bank card number and I'll send you an extra five thousand dollars as a bonus. Do well tomorrow, okay And if you do great, I'll give you more!"

Li Bochen was almost laughing again.

With an air of arrogance, he stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window.

It was already late in the evening, and from the window, one could overlook most of the bustling business district, its lights twinkling like a sea of lanterns.

"Plus you're giving me bonuses now, does that mean you're sponsoring me"

"Don't say it like that, it sounds so awful. This is called a performance-based incentive plan!" Luo Ningxi covered her face and said, she actually felt a little ashamed herself.

He's a duck anyway, he's used to taking money from women.

"Okay."

"See you tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, it was less than five minutes before Li Bochen received 5,000 yuan from Lu Ningxi's transfer. He scoffed lowly, from small to large, no woman had ever given him money to spend, now it was fresh.

……

It was evening the next day in the blink of an eye.

Luo Yi had booked a suite in advance and arrived at Changlong Hotel with Jiang Jingya, Luo Zhiqin, and Luo Ningxi.

Luo Ningxi sent Li Boche a message reminding him to set off, then put her phone away.

"Ningxi, when is your husband coming Don't you dare not come, okay"

Luo Zhiqin's feigned inquiry, Jiang Jingya also persuaded Luo Ningxi to find a man to open her eyes, but Luo Ningxi ignored them, treating them as air, closing her eyes and resting.

Luo Yi almost lost his temper at the sight, but Jiang Jingya's eyes signaled him to calm down.

We'll just wait and see who this man is, the one who dares to marry Luo Ningxi and go against the Sheng family and the Luo family.

He hadn't expected this, Luo Yi hadn't even reached the hotel door before being stopped by the manager at the entrance.

The manager's face flushed with embarrassment. "Mr. Luo, I apologize, but the private room you booked last night was temporarily moved by a VIP customer today. Would you like me to arrange a standard room on the first floor for you"

Luo Yi's face turned pale with humiliation. He felt deeply insulted.

"What do you mean by that While the Luo family may not be a prominent clan, we're still well-respected! I had already agreed on a room with you, and now you've given it to a VIP customer. Are you saying I'm less important than them"

"I didn't mean it that way, Mr. Luo, please calm down. That VIP customer is someone we can't afford to offend..."

"Then you can provoke me"

Creak, just at that moment, a Bentley roared to life and came to a smooth stop on the side of the road.

The stylish and flowing lines attracted quite a bit of attention.

But the next second, everyone scoffed.

The Bentley was sleek at the front, but the back half of the car bore clear marks of a collision. The entire rear hatch was popped up, and the rear windows were all shattered, still emitting white smoke—it looked like it could be scrapped any minute...

Then, the car door was pushed open, and a tall and imposing man stepped out. laughed in anger, gripping her chin tightly, "I'll ask you again, what do you think I am to you"Luo Ningxi's heart skipped a beat, as if some answer was about to reveal itself.Li Boche's forehead was...
