Tang Zhuozhuo, upon hearing Ye Kunlun utter the words 'playing with fire', lost her cunning glint and said in a low voice, "What? Are you afraid of Changsun Han?"
Ye Kunlun chuckled softly, "Do you think I'm afraid of him?"
Tang Zhuozhuo nodded, "If you were afraid of him, you wouldn't have called him an idiot. However, I must remind you that the Changsun family has always acted domineeringly. If you offend Changsun Han, he will never let it go."
A sharp glint flashed in Ye Kunlun's eyes.
Before coming here, he had no idea Changsun Han would attend Tang Zhuozhuo's birthday banquet.
It was only after learning he was from the Changsun family that Ye Kunlun began targeting him!
He had not forgotten what Wu Jiuming had said: that the East Tu Manor on the east side of the city was a Changsun family property!
Who could guarantee that the Changsun family had no unsavory dealings with the Wu clan?
If Changsun Han had acted with integrity and a modicum of gentlemanly demeanor, Ye Kunlun would not have targeted him so much.
It was all his fault for being arrogant and looking down on others. Ye Kunlun was hitting him where it hurt.
Moreover, he was still worried about not having an opportunity to get close to someone from the Changsun family, and Changsun Han had delivered himself right to his doorstep.
Ye Kunlun looked at the cunning Tang Zhuozhuo and replied, "I have to thank you for what happened tonight."
Tang Zhuozhuo was taken aback, not quite understanding Ye Kunlun's words.
A meaningful smile curved Ye Kunlun's lips as he walked into 'Myriad Horses Galloping'.
The subsequent activities were much simpler.
After the fuss Ye Kunlun had made with his first three gifts, everyone else's presents naturally paled in comparison.
As for Changsun Han's 'Glory of the Blue Star', Tang Zhuozhuo ultimately did not accept it, causing Changsun Han's expression to darken further.
Tonight, the second young master of the Changsun family had truly lost all face!
After the banquet concluded, Changsun Han said to Tang Zhuozhuo, "Zhuozhuo, it's on my way. Shall I give you a ride home?"
"Thank you, but no need," Tang Zhuozhuo smiled and refused Changsun Han, "My fiancé will take me home."
Saying this, Tang Zhuozhuo linked her arm with Ye Kunlun's and winked at him, "You tell them, don't you?"
Ye Kunlun remained silent.
Changsun Han snorted, "Then I'll be going."
With that, Changsun Han left without looking back.
After everyone had departed, Tang Zhuozhuo and Ye Kunlun left the White Horse Club together, and she released his arm.
"You took advantage of me, so there will be a price to pay," Ye Kunlun said, glancing at Tang Zhuozhuo.
Tang Zhuozhuo laughed, "I'm right here anyway. What can you do to me..."
*Rip—*
Before Tang Zhuozhuo could finish her sentence, Ye Kunlun's aura had already torn open the front of her dress.
Instantly, two peaks were revealed, and a winding path leading to an unknown destination, presented before Ye Kunlun.
"Ah!"
Tang Zhuozhuo was indeed startled by Ye Kunlun's sudden action. She quickly shielded her chest with both hands, a trace of anger appearing on her face.
She spoke with a pout, "Hmph, Yaoyao and Tangtang said you were a scoundrel. I didn't believe them at first."
"What?" Ye Kunlun saw Tang Zhuozhuo's embarrassed anger and a sly smile curved his lips. "I am your fiancé. You are destined to be my woman. Can't I take a premature glance?"
Tang Zhuozhuo pursed her lips, "Of course, but you have to agree to a few conditions."
"Heh heh."
Ye Kunlun couldn't help but laugh when he heard Tang Zhuozhuo's presumptuous words. "A few conditions? You really think highly of yourself."
Tang Zhuozhuo raised her delicate eyebrows, "I am still the eldest daughter of the Tang family. What's wrong with me asking for a few conditions?"
Ye Kunlun's eyes held a hint of disdain, "Changsun Han is also the second young master of the Changsun family, yet I still slapped his face, didn't I?"
"Moreover, I told you, if you want my woman, you are not qualified yet!"
Ye Kunlun looked at Tang Zhuozhuo, who was trying to bargain with him, with no trace of coveting her beauty in his eyes.
Tang Zhuozhuo tidied her chest and huffed, "So stingy! However, I really need to thank you for tonight. Also, I will return those three gifts to you."
"How will you return them?" Ye Kunlun asked indifferently.
Tang Zhuozhuo was silenced by Ye Kunlun's question.
"If the Nine Yuan Pill can truly cure Grandma, then I'll let you..." Tang Zhuozhuo's cheeks flushed, her expression becoming a little coy.
"You woman, why are you always thinking about getting into my bed?"
Ye Kunlun interrupted Tang Zhuozhuo with a smile, "I told you, you're not qualified yet."
Tang Zhuozhuo looked speechless. She, the dignified eldest daughter of the Tang family, was someone many people in the capital wanted to marry.
Yet, when it came to Ye Kunlun, she had become unwanted!
"Alright, I won't see you off."
Ye Kunlun stopped walking and glanced around, "Your Tang family has so many bodyguards watching!"
Tang Zhuozhuo rolled her eyes at Ye Kunlun, "Stingy! Tomorrow at ten in the morning, I'll send someone to the Wujian Prison to pick you up!"
Ye Kunlun waved his hand and walked away directly.
"Big Sister!"
Tang Yaoyao and Tang Tangtang, walking behind, saw Ye Kunlun leave and quickly hurried over.
"What did that guy say to you?" Tang Tangtang asked curiously.
"What could he say? Just irritating words," Tang Zhuozhuo said helplessly.
Tang Tangtang looked at the fireworks illuminating the sky and pouted, "I thought he would make a good brother-in-law, but it seems that's not going to happen!"
"Big Sister, although Ye Kunlun is much better than Changsun Han, he's not a good match for you. Think carefully," Tang Yaoyao also reminded Tang Zhuozhuo.
Tang Zhuozhuo looked helpless. If her two good sisters knew that their eldest sister had been told 'not qualified' by Ye Kunlun time and again, she wondered how they would feel.
Tang Zhuozhuo sighed inwardly, gazing at the continuing fireworks across the city, her heart still filled with emotion.
"By the way, Big Sister, can that Nine Yuan Pill he mentioned really save Grandma?" Tang Yaoyao changed the subject.
"We'll know tomorrow whether it can save her or not," Tang Zhuozhuo said, looking at the white porcelain bottle in her hand. She truly believed Ye Kunlun.
Otherwise, Changsun Han would not have backed down so easily tomorrow.
"If he can really cure Grandma, letting him be my brother-in-law isn't impossible!" Tang Yaoyao quickly added.
Tang Zhuozhuo laughed and scolded, "You two are the ones who called him a scoundrel, and you're also the ones who want him as a brother-in-law. When did you two become so indecisive?"
"It's all because that Changsun Han is so detestable!" Tang Tangtang became angry at the mention of Changsun Han. "It's a good thing Ye Kunlun helped us vent our anger tonight. Changsun Han's face turned green with anger!"
"You two should stop it now."
Tang Zhuozhuo looked helplessly at her two younger sisters, unable to do anything about them.
However, Changsun Han was ultimately the second young master of the Changsun family. These whispers behind his back might still reach his ears.
Although Tang Zhuozhuo was not afraid of him, it might still cause some unnecessary trouble.
"Let's go home. I have a feeling tomorrow won't go smoothly," Tang Zhuozhuo took her sisters' hands and walked towards home.
