Chapter 1: Chaos in the Bar

  "Lin Ye, thinking of marrying me? Don't dream about it!"

  The night was deepening, and the flowing lights of the bar street were shining brightly. "Chance Encounter" stood out particularly, just like its name - Chance Encounter, romantic chance encounter, or even love. At this moment, people's eyes were unknowingly drawn to the red sports car at the entrance of the bar, more accurately, the red rose on the red sports car. The red petals and green stem, under the refraction of the light, reflected a circle of luster, as if it had just been freshly picked.

  The woman speaking with her arms crossed, her exquisite and unparalleled face somewhat icy, looked at the man kneeling in front of her with disdain. "Nine hundred and ninety-nine roses, right? Lin Ye, do you think I still believe that?" She said, turning around without hesitation and walking into the bar, never looking back at the man behind her again.

  Lin Ye didn't care about his image, still kneeling on one knee, watching the woman walk in, and immediately chased after her without regard for appearances, "Xiao Xia, listen to me, Xiao Xia!"

  Chihiro Senri heard the annoying voice, furrowed her brow and quickened her pace. As a result, the man behind her was still pursuing relentlessly, she gritted her teeth in hatred, and suddenly sat down on the counter, thinking secretly about how to shake off the man behind her. "Give me a glass of milk," Chihiro Senri said to the bartender, looking up at him.

  The bartender looked at the woman who wanted milk in surprise, having worked in the bar for several years, it was really the first time he had heard a customer ask for milk. However, following the principle that the customer is God, the bartender still said "wait a minute" dutifully.

  Senri also saw the bartender's expression, and she was so angry and disgusted in her heart. However, there was nothing she could do about it since her parents had already made it clear that when going to a bar, she could only drink milk and not alcohol, or else she would be punished according to their family rules. This was probably the 108th rule of the Senri household, but unfortunately, this rule only applied to her alone.

  The milk that Jiubao had brought over was just about to be drunk by Qian Lixia, when a man as sticky as caramel appeared behind her, tightly wrapping himself around the hand she used to hold the milk, his voice trembling with tears. "Little Xia, when we first got together, didn't you often say that you hoped for a man who could drive a pumpkin carriage and give you 999 red roses? I couldn't find a pumpkin carriage, but these 999 roses are my love for you!" Lin Ye's words were so moving that Qian Lixia's knees almost buckled again.

  Qian Lian Xia frowned, looking at the man in front of her, wondering how she had fallen for him in the first place. He was just a good-for-nothing, and yet he had spent three months with her, Qian Dajie's sister. It was simply an insult to her intelligence. She looked at the untouched milk in her hand, then gazed at him with tears that were neither sad nor happy, "Can you let go first?"

  Lin Yan didn't hear her words at all, only looking at her expression, thinking she was moved, and continued to add fuel to the fire, carefully saying to the point, "Then, Xiaxia, are you willing... to get engaged with me now, and get married after we graduate from university?"

  In the corner of the bar, behind a large pot of green plants, a man's figure emerged vaguely. His face, like fine white jade, was delicate and translucent, with a warm and gentle gaze that seemed to hold deep meaning as he stared at Qian Lixia's beautiful face. However, his silent gaze suddenly flickered with a hint of mischief and interest.

  Qian Lian Xia looked at the milk in her hand that she hadn't drunk yet, and her hands were already sore. Lin Ye was still waiting for her answer with sparkling eyes. Qian Lian Xia's disdainful questioning was already apparent on her face. "Lin Ye, do you want to marry me or the wealth behind me?"

  Just one sentence, Lin Ye's face had changed several colors, like a color palette, varied and diverse. He seemed to have thought of an answer, and his eyes locked onto Qian Lian Xia's face again with deep affection, "Xiao Xia, I will of course marry you."

  "Damn it!" Chihiro finally couldn't help but curse, if his hand wasn't still gripping her wrist, she really wanted to pour the milk in her hand onto that disgusting face of his. He actually said he wanted to marry her? Please, who would believe him! Chihiro rolled her eyes and was too lazy to bother with him anymore!

  "Xia Xia, I really love you!" It seemed like Lin Ye was afraid that Qian Lixia wouldn't believe him, so he repeated it again.

  There was a shadow looming over her head, the seat next to her seemed to be occupied by someone, and then came a warm, yet seductive and slightly magnetic male voice, like the peach blossoms in March, which made the listener feel slightly drunk. "Baby, I'm sorry I'm late." The man's deep, masculine breath swept past Qian Lixia's earlobe, stirring up the fine hairs on her neck.

  Qian Lian Xia suddenly turned her head to look at the man, and he was shocked. He had just called her something, 'darling', but when did she get to know such a man? She didn't even know him. His face was like jade, his voice was like music, his figure was tall and slender, his temperament was rare and precious, and his lungs were clear and moist. He was simply the top-notch among all men!!!

  The man knew Qian Lian Xia was sizing him up, but he remained calm and allowed her to do so. His warm and gentle eyes seemed to gleam with a hint of evil charm as he stared at Lin Ye, who still held Qian Lian Xia's wrist. His lips curved slightly, "I can forgive you for your disrespect towards my woman earlier, but now, please let go of her hand, okay?"

  A man who was intimate with Qian Lixia appeared, and Lin Ye was indeed stunned at the time, but it didn't mean he was confused. His eyes were like starry fires, with a fierce momentum that cut through the air: "Who are you? Is Xiao Xia someone you can call?" Lin Ye's anger surged as he pointed at his nose.

  Qian Lian Xia was worried about how to get rid of Lin Ye, but suddenly she had an idea. Since he was willing, if she didn't take advantage of the situation, it would be a waste for herself. Thinking of this, she smiled coyly and gently wrapped her hand around the man's arm, looking up at him with her autumn water-like eyes shining brightly, "Dear, you're making me wait so long, I'm about to gaze through the autumn waters!"

  The man whispered in her ear, his voice low and seductive, yet loud enough for Lin Ye to hear, "Are you waiting for me, or are you waiting for me to do something bad to you, huh?"

  Although she knew it was an act, Senri Chiyo blushed at his intoxicating breath. However, Lin Ye didn't think so and just thought it was the shyness of a young girl facing her boyfriend.

  "Xiaohua, is he really your boyfriend?!" Lin Ye looked at the two of them in front of him with a natural and intimate posture, his heart was already filled with mixed emotions, and he could only speak with difficulty.

  Qian Lian Xia Qiao smiled and acknowledged, "Yes, so Lin Ye, give up on that idea!"

  "No, I don't believe you. You said you liked me and that you would wait for me to marry you. I don't believe it, all of this must be made up!!" Lin Ye's grip on her wrist tightened slightly.

  Qian Lian Xia furrowed her brow, a self-mocking expression spreading across the corners of her mouth. "Lin Ye, after being with me for three months, you still don't understand me? The men around Qian Lian Xia, are there any who have lasted more than three months? They get tired of me, they get fed up with me, and then I replace them." She adjusted her hair, her tone somewhat weary. "So, Lin Ye, I'm tired of you now, and I've found someone new. You can be eliminated."
