A super-rich tycoon? No, just call me the gentlemanly gigolo.

Jiang Ye looked in the direction of the voice and his eyes lit up immediately: "Holy crap! A beauty!"

The woman in front of me was about 168 cm tall and looked to be around 23 or 24 years old. She was wearing a fitted off-white wool sweater and light blue fitted jeans, which perfectly outlined her shapely and slender legs.

She was wearing a long down jacket draped over her arm, her slightly wavy hair was casually loose, her skin was fair, and her features were delicate. Even in the dim light of the bar, it was clear that she had excellent natural features.

Her temperament is somewhere between innocent and mature, with an inherent, subtle allure.

By Jiang Ye's standards, it's definitely above 85 points, and might even be one or two points higher than Ye Cheng's.

The beautiful woman clearly heard his undisguised "Holy shit!" and turned to glance at him.

Seeing a young man holding a bottle of beer, sucking on a straw and staring at her up and down without any attempt to hide it, she rolled her eyes in annoyance and ignored him.

She withdrew her gaze and looked at the man named Zhang Wenhai in front of her. She took a deep breath, seemingly trying to calm her tone, but her words still carried anger:

"Wenhai, I've told you, if you can't hold back, you can go find a prostitute, or you can mess around with your 'good sisters,' do whatever you want, I absolutely won't care. But can you please stop nagging me?"

The man named Zhang Wenhai was short, wearing a leather jacket, and had a rather unpleasant expression.

He first glared fiercely at Jiang Ye, who was watching the commotion, and growled, "What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a couple arguing before?"

Jiang Yezi took a sip of beer and nodded honestly: "Dude, you can keep arguing. I'm just looking. I don't mean anything by it. It's just that your girlfriend is pretty, so I'm admiring her."

Zhang Wenhai: "..."

He glanced at Jiang Ye's height and seemingly calm demeanor, then reluctantly looked away, turning his gaze back to the woman in front of him, his tone softening:

"Wanxing, you know that's not what I meant..."

Seeing that many people around them were looking at them, the woman lowered her voice slightly: "So what do you mean? I saw you two hugging with my own eyes. Are you trying to say I saw wrong? Or that I'm hallucinating?"

Zhang Wenhai hurriedly explained, "Wanxing, you've really misunderstood! We were just playing truth or dare, and I lost, so..."

"Playing Truth or Dare requires you to put your hand inside someone's clothes..."

The woman interrupted him, pausing mid-sentence. She turned her head and frowned as she looked at Jiang Ye, who had somehow gotten close to her with a beer bottle, listening intently.

"Hello, what's up?"

"Oh? It's nothing, it's nothing!"

Caught red-handed, Jiang Ye scratched his head awkwardly and chuckled, "I'm just here to watch the fun. You guys keep arguing, I'll just listen. I won't bother you. Just pretend I don't exist."

The woman's breath hitched; she was speechless, choked by the man's self-righteousness.

Zhang Wenhai couldn't care less about Jiang Ye at this moment, and hurriedly tried to explain, "Wanxing, I...I...I had a little to drink, and I lost control for a moment...You know, these past few months I..."

The woman sighed, her eyes filled with disappointment: "Wenhai, are you going to say again that you're a normal man too, that you have needs too? We've been together for almost half a year, and I haven't let you touch me. Have you been suffering a lot?"

Zhang Wenhai instinctively wanted to nod, but when he caught sight of Jiang Ye's "sparkling" eyes full of curiosity, he felt a little embarrassed.

Can......

The girlfriend in front of him, named Lin Wanxing, was a top-notch woman he had worked very hard to win over. Although he was caught cheating this time, how could he possibly let her go like this?

He ignored Jiang Ye's presence and, forcing himself to appear affectionate, tried to do so:

"Wanxing, although I'm a man, I respect your choice and have been waiting for you to be ready. I was really drunk just now, it was an unconscious action, and it was just a quick touch on my waist, really just one! If you... could be a little more... normally, I wouldn't have... done this."

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanxing was so angry she laughed: "Zhang Wenhai, what did you say when you were pursuing me? You said you liked my personality, my soul, my laughter, and my antics!"

"I was so stupid back then, I asked you if it was just because I'm pretty? You said it yourself—'No, Wanxing, I love you for who you are! As long as you agree to be with me, I promise I won't touch you for a year. I'll prove my words with time!'"

"It's only been four months!"

Jiang Ye, standing to the side, was thinking to himself, "Holy crap, this plot is way more exciting than any TV drama!"

He grabbed a passing waiter and whispered, "Hey buddy, could you bring me a plate of sunflower seeds, plain ones are fine?"

The waiter looked bewildered, but quickly brought him a small dish of sunflower seeds.

Zhang Wenhai's face turned pale and then red as the woman brought up his past grievances. He tried to explain, but she waved him off.

"Zhang Wenhai, when I agreed to your pursuit, I told you that as long as you could prove your promise and treat me sincerely this past year, I, Lin Wanxing, would commit to you, give you everything, and spend my life with you. This is something you failed to do!"

Seeing that she was about to say something even more resolute, Zhang Wenhai panicked completely, disregarding his pride, and quickly softened his stance:

"Wanxing, don't be angry, I was wrong! I admit I was a jerk! But I really just put my hand in the wrong place, I don't think it's... it's not an unforgivable mistake, is it? I truly like you, I..."

"Not a big mistake?!"

Lin Wanxing's temper flared up again. She turned to look at Jiang Ye, who was crunching sunflower seeds beside her, and blurted out:

"You mean I can just let him touch me and then tell you 'it's not a big deal'?"

"Cough! Cough cough cough..."

Jiang Ye was engrossed in watching when he heard this and almost choked on the sunflower seed shells. He quickly put down the sunflower seeds and frantically grabbed a tissue to wipe his hands, looking ready to "do as he was told" at any moment.

Lin Wanxing watched him wipe his hands, and her lips twitched involuntarily. The pouty words "Come on, touch me" that were about to come out of her mouth were swallowed back down.

She had a strong premonition that if she were to say the whole thing, this guy who loved watching the drama would definitely reach out his hand without hesitation.

Seeing the strange interaction between Lin Wanxing and Jiang Ye, Zhang Wenhai's expression darkened further. He gritted his teeth and resorted to a self-inflicted injury ploy:

"Wanxing, it's all my fault! But I really just drank too much! I swear, if you forgive me, I'll quit drinking from now on! Let's be together and start this year anew! I'll prove my promise with my actions! If I make you angry again during this time, I'll just disappear! Is that okay? Don't be angry anymore, alright?"

Upon hearing the words "abstain from alcohol" and "start over," Lin Wanxing frowned, her expression seemingly softening slightly.

Seeing this, Zhang Wenhai quickly pressed his advantage: "I'll go and make it clear to those people inside that I'll never participate in this kind of gathering again! Wanxing, come back with me. I'll announce in front of everyone that I, Zhang Wenhai, will abstain from alcohol for you from now on!"

Lin Wanxing hesitated for a moment, then finally shook her head, sighed, and said wearily:

"Forget it, Wenhai, my mind is a mess right now. You should go home first. I'm going home. Let's both calm down for a few days and talk again when we've thought things through."

Zhang Wenhai's face instantly darkened, and his tone became somewhat harsh: "Wanxing, is it really necessary? I've already gone this far, and you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Wanxing had already turned around, waved her hand with her back to him, and her voice carried a hint of detachment:

"I'm going back now. You can go have fun and do whatever you want. Nobody will bother you. We'll talk about it again in a few days when everyone has calmed down."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the bar entrance.

"Damn it! Stop pretending to be innocent!"

Zhang Wenhai watched her retreating figure, muttered a curse under his breath, irritably lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and turned to walk towards the dance floor.

After watching a thrilling and emotionally charged drama, Jiang Ye contentedly finished the last sip of his beer.

Sigh, it's really not easy being a man these days!

Either you can't get her, or if you finally do, she won't let you touch her, or if you finally let her touch you, she'll take back your access if she's unhappy... It's so difficult!

After he finished his exclamation, he suddenly felt a jolt of fear!

Depend on!

I was so busy eating melon seeds that I forgot about the important matter!

That beauty's gone! My goddess fragment hasn't even dropped yet!

He quickly threw down the bottle and hurried after her in the direction she had gone.
