Mr. Li, please stop abusing me. My wife is getting engaged.

Before Mu Wanqing recovered from her disbelief, she heard Li Zeyi reply, "Okay."

Li Zeyi turned around and looked at Mu Wanqing, the alienation in his eyes was obvious: "Mu Wanqing, I should have told you earlier, don't put your mind on me, I won't like you."

"And those despicable methods of yours, when did you become like this? It's really hard to imagine that you are the same girl who saved me when I was a child." Mu Wanqing felt her heart skip a beat.

"As punishment for drugging me last time, inform Mu Chenghai that he will not be given the project in the west of the city. Don't have any thoughts that you shouldn't have. I hope you take care of yourself."

Mu Wanqing felt her blood run cold, endless pain spread through her heart, and her hatred towards Su Jinyan reached its peak.

She said, "Brother Zeyi, we have been together since childhood, can you please not be like this? I was wrong. Can the project in the west of the city not stop..." Mu Wanqing choked, tears streaming down her face, and she looked pitiful and miserable.

"Go back. I don't want to say anything more." Mu Wanqing looked at the majesty in his eyes and didn't dare to speak again. She glared at Su Jinyan with hatred and left in embarrassment.

Su Jinyan looked at her lonely back as she left. She did not feel happy in her heart. Instead, she felt disgusted with Li Zeyi.

Men can be ruthless to women they don't like. Haven't you been treated like this by him before?

Su Jinyan glanced at Li Zeyi coldly and said angrily, "Don't always find someone to monitor me. I'm not your puppet."

"I don't think of you as my puppet. I'm just worried about your safety, so I sent someone to protect you secretly." Li Zeyi said.

"I don't need such protection. It makes me feel suffocated. Withdraw your people." Su Jinyan said dissatisfiedly.

"Okay." Li Zeyi narrowed his beautiful eyes, took off a pinky ring from his little finger, held Su Jinyan's hand, and put it on her ring finger: "Put it on, you can command them yourself."

Su Jinyan looked at the rose-shaped ring on her hand and frowned: "Are you saying that this can control your bodyguards who secretly monitor me?"

"Not just them, you can control everyone in the bodyguard system, including Lin Qi." Li Zeyi said.

"Oh, can I let them beat you?" Su Jinyan said in a nonchalant voice.

"The people I support don't have the courage. But if this order is given to others, they will obey it." Li Zeyi stared at her pretty face, a happy smile spreading across the corners of his mouth.

"Mr. Li is really generous." Su Jinyan glanced at her ring finger indifferently.

Li Zeyi looked at the ring on her ring finger leisurely, his expression softened unconsciously, but his words were cold and hard: "Wear it at all times, otherwise I can't guarantee that there is no one secretly - monitoring you."

Li Zeyi spoke in a long tone. Su Jinyan glanced at him, too lazy to argue with him, and walked out.

"Don't you want to live here?" Li Zeyi stepped forward and blocked her way.

Su Jinyan smiled coldly: "Didn't you say that the furnishings in the master bedroom need to be changed? I'll wait for President Li to change it."

"I won't let you down." Li Zeyi's lips curved up.

"I'll take you home." Li Zeyi lowered his head and approached her, his voice gentle, like the whispers of lovers.

Su Jinyan deliberately avoided the question: "No need for you, didn't you say that this ring can command your subordinates? I want to try it."

Li Zeyi smiled and said generously: "You can try it."

"Then let Lin Qi send him off." Su Jinyan heard what he just said and knew that Lin Qi's status in the bodyguard system was more special. If he could command him, then it should be easier to command others.

After a while, Lin Qi appeared in front of Su Jinyan. When his eyes fell on the ring on Su Jinyan's hand, he was surprised for a moment and then looked away.

Su Jinyan said to him: "Lin Qi, take me back."

Lin Qi glanced past her and looked at Li Zeyi calmly. Li Zeyi raised two fingers and pointed at him in the air.

Lin Qi nodded: "Yes."

These little actions naturally did not escape Su Jinyan's eyes. They not only recognized the token, but also the person. Li Zeyi's order was the highest order.

Su Jinyan returned to Baiyue Villa. Dusk had already fallen. The winter evening was even colder than the daytime.

When Su Jinyan walked to the door, she found a person standing there, hidden in the night, exuding loneliness and coldness.

"Murong Lin." Su Jinyan looked at him in surprise.

When Murong Lin saw her, his eyes curved and he took big strides towards her.

He was filled with the coldness of the outdoors. Su Jinyan frowned, "You've been here for a long time? Do you have something to talk to me about? Why didn't you wait in the car?"

Murong Lin looked at her softly: "It didn't take long."

Su Jinyan opened the door: "Come in quickly."

The temperature in the room was suitable. Murong Lin took out an exquisite box from his arms and handed it to Su Jinyan: "I see that you are not used to the cold in Shucheng. You should be able to use these."

Su Jinyan opened it and found various heating pads inside. Even the packaging showed that it was carefully crafted.

Su Jinyan thanked him and said apologetically, "I'm really sorry for today's birthday party..."

Murong Lin looked at her: "It's okay."

Su Jinyan looked at the gift in her hand, and when she looked up, she saw the wound on the corner of his mouth. She felt really sorry, and thought: "It's not 12 o'clock yet, so it doesn't count as missing your birthday. How about I celebrate your birthday now?"

Murong Lin's eyes lit up with joy, and his eyebrows softened: "Okay."

Su Jinyan ordered takeout and the cake was delivered shortly afterwards.

The candlelight flickered, and a bright smile caught Murong Lin's eyes. The man made a wish in front of the candlelight.

Su Jinyan raised her eyes to look at him, with an elegant and expectant expression, which must be a good wish.

The two of them held small pieces of cake in their hands and sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows looking at the stars outside. The atmosphere was warm and harmonious.

Su Jinyan pulled herself away from the unhappiness of the day and looked at the stars in the sky with interest.

Murong Lin looked at her and said hesitantly: "Su Jinyan, do you know what my wish is?"

Su Jinyan smiled and turned to look at him, shaking her head: "I don't know."

"I'll tell you." Murong Lin looked at her without moving his eyebrows.

"It won't work if you say it out loud." Su Jinyan said mischievously.

Murong Lin looked at her smiling face, his heartstrings moved slightly: "If I don't tell you now, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to tell you in the future."

Sensing the seriousness in his tone, the smile on Su Jinyan's face froze.

"Su Jinyan, I want to be with you." Murong Lin's confession rang out of the blue.

Su Jinyan stood there stiffly holding the cake, and the atmosphere became stiff and awkward for a moment.

Su Jinyan calmed down for a while and stood up: "I... I'm going to eat some fruit..."

"Su Jinyan, I have liked you for a long time. I have liked you for five years."

"But you had a boyfriend at that time, and I always wondered if I was braver, would I have a chance? Five years later, I saw you again, and I don't want to have any regrets this time. So, I want to tell you that I like you..."

Su Jinyan paused, helplessly holding her forehead with her hands, and thought for a while before speaking: "Murong Lin, I can't respond to your love..."

When Murong Lin saw the ring on her ring finger, his eyes darkened and he said in disappointment, "Have you agreed to Li Zeyi's pursuit?"

"Ah?" Su Jinyan asked in surprise, not understanding what he meant for a moment.
