Zhou Yu: "You want to treat me to a meal?"
Zhao Ruyue: "Is that not allowed?"
Zhou Yu: "When you usually invite people to dinner, do you use this tone?"
Zhao Ruyue: "Zhou Yu!"
Zhou Yu: "Keep your voice down, my phone's speaker isn't great. Don't break it."
Zhao Ruyue was so angry she almost threw her phone on the spot!
Her phone's speaker isn't great?
Afraid she'd break it?
Could this man be any more infuriating?
Zhao Ruyue felt like Zhou Yu was her nemesis. Every time they spoke, they'd clash before exchanging a few words.
"I wonder what kind of relationship Grandpa had with Zhou Yu's master, that they arranged a childhood engagement for me. Sigh, he's like a sworn enemy, always trying to make me angry."
Recalling her grandfather's voice and smile from when he was alive.
Zhao Ruyue's anger subsided by more than half, and her resolve became even stronger.
But even so, she didn't want Zhou Yu to humiliate her now!
Hmph!
Worst case scenario, she wouldn't invite him today!
Thinking this, Zhao Ruyue was about to hang up.
However, at that moment, the man on the other end of the line suddenly agreed.
"You agree?" Zhao Ruyue couldn't quite believe it.
Didn't Zhou Yu just act like 'I'm the kind of man you can't make plans with'?
Why did he change his mind so quickly?
She was a bit confused.
But Zhou Yu said, "If a beautiful woman actively invites me to dinner, it wouldn't be right to refuse."
"You consider me a beauty?"
Hearing the man on the other end complimenting her, Zhao Ruyue felt a little happy.
Heh—
His taste wasn't bad.
But Zhou Yu's next words made the veins on Zhao Ruyue's forehead bulge.
Zhou Yu: "If you don't think so, then so be it."
Zhao Ruyue: "This can be considered so."
Zhou Yu: "You're the one who said it wasn't so."
Zhao Ruyue: "I didn't!"
Zhou Yu: "If you say you didn't, then you didn't."
Zhao Ruyue: "You sound like you're just placating me."
Zhou Yu: "Isn't that obvious?"
Hoo—
Zhao Ruyue took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled.
The anger she had just suppressed almost erupted again.
This man!
He's so infuriating!
Zhao Ruyue lay on the sofa, repeatedly hitting a husky pillow with her fists. With each hit, she imagined Zhou Yu's infuriating face.
"Are you doing kung fu?" Zhou Yu asked.
Zhao Ruyue chuckled and denied, "No."
Despite saying this, the speed at which she hit the husky pillow only increased.
"Alright, then give me an address and time later. I won't go if it's too late. I'm a good man, I don't like staying out all night."
Hearing this.
Zhao Ruyue's punching speed quickened again!
What is he even saying?
If he's a good man, then she, Zhao Ruyue, isn't a good woman?
He doesn't like staying out all night, as if she's going to eat him.
So annoying!!
Zhao Ruyue vowed that she would definitely get back at Zhou Yu tonight during dinner!
At the Yunlan Tiangong Villa.
Zhou Yu had no idea he was being treated as a husky pillow to be beaten.
After finishing his call with Zhao Ruyue.
He took out six marriage certificates from under the sofa and examined them one by one.
After registering his marriage with Su Yuyan, the marriage certificate belonging to her was no longer necessary. Therefore, Zhou Yu didn't intend to keep it.
However, when she learned that he was going to destroy the marriage certificate, Su Yuyan said she wanted to keep it as a memento.
Because in the eyes of the beautiful Su, her relationship with Zhou Yu was not stable.
They were merely contractual spouses.
Once Zhou Yu canceled all his engagements, would their marital relationship come to an end?
It was precisely because of these thoughts that Su Yuyan asked for the marriage certificate from Zhou Yu.
But Zhou Yu didn't overthink it.
He handed it directly to Su Yuyan without a second thought.
"Since Zhao Ruyue can't be broken off for now, and Su Yuyan's marriage certificate is gone, which family should I visit next?"
He placed the five marriage certificates on the table, hesitating.
Among the five marriage certificates, excluding Leng Xue's, there were four others.
And Leng Xue was the only one among the seven fiancées who had actively asked him to break off the engagement.
Zhao Ruyue and Su Yuyan both didn't want to break off the engagement.
"Three of the women with these four marriage certificates live in Jiangnan City, and one lives in Di City. This is a bit tricky. If only they all lived in Yunhai City."
Zhou Yu rubbed his chin, feeling a bit helpless.
He had to travel so much just to break off an engagement, it was exhausting!
"Forget it, what's meant to happen will happen. After I'm done with things in Yunhai City, I'll go to Jiangnan City first, then to Di City."
The fiancée in Di City was the daughter of one of the five great families of Long Country, a noble lady.
Zhou Yu estimated that her attitude towards the engagement would be similar to Leng Xue's.
"If she looks down on me, that's perfect. When I go there, she'll directly propose breaking the engagement, which will save me a lot of trouble."
Zhou Yu smirked, then put the six marriage certificates back under the sofa cushions.
...
The nights in Yunhai City were typical of a major metropolis.
The city was brightly lit everywhere, with young men and women indulging in all-night revelry, living it up.
At Maple Leaf Private Club.
Zhao Ruyue watched the man in front of her wolfing down food, her fists clenched in anger.
She had invited Zhou Yu to dinner, but this guy, upon arrival, not only barely spoke but started a frenzied eating spree once the dishes were served.
Anyone would think she had starved him for half a month!
"Can you slow down a bit? No one's fighting you for it!"
Zhao Ruyue covered her forehead, looking utterly dejected.
She felt so embarrassed.
A waitress had just come in to serve juice, and Zhou Yu's eating manners were fully visible.
But the problem was!
Zhou Yu didn't seem to care, continuing to eat ravenously in front of outsiders.
Zhao Ruyue wished she could find a hole to crawl into!
"Do you understand that food is paramount? Should I not eat all this delicious food and just look at it?"
Zhou Yu paused for a moment, then said.
He had agreed to have dinner with Zhao Ruyue tonight with the intention of getting a free meal.
Since he was here, why not eat for free?
Of course, Zhou Yu wasn't short of money for this meal.
But if he could make Zhao Ruyue uncomfortable, then he would feel comfortable.
Yesterday at the Fifth Hospital, she had treated him poorly, and Zhou Yu held a grudge.
This meal was just an act of revenge.
Zhao Ruyue said angrily, "Then, when someone came in earlier, couldn't you have behaved a little better?"
"Someone came in earlier? Who?" Zhou Yu asked blankly.
...
Zhao Ruyue glared at him through gritted teeth, her eyes seeming to spew fire.
This guy...
He was definitely her nemesis!
"Oh? You mean that waitress? But aren't we customers here? Haven't you heard the saying, 'The customer is God'?"
Zhou Yu wiped the oil from the corner of his mouth and said lightly, "If my eating manners are a bit rough, so be it. Anyway, the more I eat, the more service fee she gets. She should be happy."
This was a private club, and the service fees for waitstaff were not low.
Just this meal alone would earn that waitress at least several hundred.
