Qi Lei’s demonically handsome face turned cold. All over him, there was a hostility that shrouded him. Even his date could feel it clearly. She could not help but tremble and look worriedly at him.

“Hey, watch your mouth!”

That woman then glared at Mu Lingshi as she clung onto Qi Lei, yet he shook the girl’s hand off. Icily, he walked up to Mu Lingshi and looked down at her while she remained fearless with her back straightened, staring right back at him.

A while after, Qi Lei was not angry and laughed instead. The bitterness on his face was instantly concealed as he sneered and nodded. “You’re one with a gift of the gab!”

“I’m like that to certain types of people. Master Qi, if you’re just here to whittle the time away and support this place, I, Mu Lingshi would welcome you very much, but if you’re here to cause trouble, then don’t blame me if I’m not courteous!”

Mu Lingshi’s tone was resounding. When she said this, the few bodyguards behind him came up. Even Qi Lei’s date could not help but pull at his sleeve, hinting at him. Then, she glanced down at her dress that was already turned to shreds.

“Cause trouble? You sure it’s us looking for trouble and not your people who are useless? Otherwise, how would you explain this tonight? This dress is a limited edition. You might not be able to buy it even if you had the money! Hmph!”

The woman finally became so mad that she shot Mu Lingshi a look. Her tone was very sharp while her eyes were filled with disdain and condescension. She took a glance at the scar on Mu Lingshi’s face that could not be hidden by the sunglasses, and her bright red lips curled up.

When Mu Lingshi heard that, her gaze darkened. She subconsciously examined the dress on the girl, and when she saw her disgusted eyes, her hands that hid under her sleeves clenched slightly tighter.

“What’s wrong? Unhappy? Is there no one else in your club? How did they get someone so hideous to rouse the crowd? Aren’t they worried that you’ll scare the customers?”

When the woman saw Mu Lingshi’s face that hardened, she laughed out loud delightedly. “How dare you talk about others? You should take a look at yourself!”

“Do you want to die?” Mu Lingshi’s fists clenched tighter. Her beautiful eyes that hid beneath her sunglasses were already colored with a flash of coldness. She was worried that she would not be able to hold back her punch!

At this moment, Xiao Yu’s voice came from behind. “Director Xi!”

“Hello, Director Xi!” Manager Liang’s voice came through too.

Mu Lingshi subconsciously turned to look too. Then, she realized that Xi Xiaye was walking over, still on the phone.

“Okay, please send it over right away. Mmm, right away.”

Then, Xi Xiaye nodded to Manager Liang and the rest. Her gaze very quickly fell onto the woman beside Qi Lei as she said plainly, “I’ve got the latest spring dress from Dior’s XX series. Even though it’s limited edition, that doesn’t mean we can’t afford to compensate you. The dress is being sent over right away. Miss, I’m sure you must be an honorable daughter of a prestigious family, but the way you bully others is a little overboard. Besides, I think Master Qi should know whose turf this is.”

When Qi Lei saw Xi Xiaye, his faintly cold face suddenly flashed with a smile. He called out rather intimately, “Xiaye!”

Xi Xiaye frowned as she looked at Mu Lingshi whose expression could not be fathomed. She then reached out to gently hold one of her fists that was clenched tightly underneath her sleeve. Subsequently, Mu Lingshi took a deep breath and eased a little.

When Qi Lei saw that Xi Xiaye did not reply, he was not angry. Instead, he grinned and asked again, “Did you like the flowers I sent?”

“Thank you, Master Qi, for the kind thought. The flowers were too low quality, so I just gave them to the janitor of our Planning Department. I told you that I only accept roses that are made of gold or embedded with diamonds. Didn’t you hear me right?” Xi Xiaye answered rather calmly.

“Who are you?! You’re so...”

When Xi Xiaye responded that way, the woman’s face instantly sank. She was about to say something more when Qi Lei pulled her away and walked up to Xi Xiaye. He stared at Xi Xiaye through squinted eyes for a long time, then smiled demonically as he whispered into her ear, “I didn’t know you liked such tacky things. I like them too. Very well. I like that very much. If you’re friendlier to me, I’ll just forget about tonight. How about that?”

“I can get the bouncers to chase you two out. I can try if you don’t believe me!” Xi Xiaye turned over slightly and said calmly.

“What a heartless woman! I came all the way here just to see you. I even dreamt of you every night! Why? Don’t you believe me?”

Xi Xiaye did not wait for Qi Lei to finish. She just said, “Manager Liang, please see Master Qi out. I’ll send this lady’s dress over later on.”

“Why are you so...?”

The woman’s expression darkened. She wanted to curse her more when Xi Xiaye’s resounding voice came through. “Didn’t you hear me? Send them out!”

“Yes, Director Xi!”

Manager Liang and the rest were then shocked. They realized that quite a lot of people had started to pay attention to the commotion, surrounding them. In turn, they quickly responded.

“Master Qi, this way!”

Manager Liang braced himself as he walked up and indicated for Qi Lei to leave.

The smile on Qi Lei’s face became wider, yet it looked rather sly. He lowered his body slightly and whispered into Xi Xiaye’s ear, “Are you just going to embarrass me like that? To be honest, this is the first time I’m being this patient with a woman. Why can’t you just see my sincerity?”

Xi Xiaye scoffed, turning away and not even bothering to take a look at him.

When he saw that Xi Xiaye did not respond, Qi Lei rubbed his nose and laughed demonically. “Okay, today I brought a vase out and caused trouble. Don’t be angry. I won’t do this next time, but don’t you dare doubt my sincerity.”

Then, Qi Lei straightened and faintly smiled toward a certain direction behind Xi Xiaye. Then, he abruptly turned and left.

When the woman saw Qi Lei leave, she groaned and then followed the black-suited bodyguards.

When she saw Qi Lei’s figure vanish at the end of the walkway, Mu Lingshi turned to Xi Xiaye and asked softly, “Sis-in-law, do you know Qi Lei?”

Xi Xiaye lowered her gaze as it turned sharp. “We have some grudges.”

Hearing this, Mu Lingshi nodded gently, pushing her sunglasses that slid down slightly up and contemplated for a moment. Then, she said, “If that is so, Sis-in-law, I hope that you won’t get too close to someone like him. The Qi family goes deep... In fact, they have grievances with us Mu family...”

When she heard this, Xi Xiaye was startled. When she was about to ask something, there were already footsteps from behind.

“Bro!”

The two of them turned to look and saw that Mu Yuchen, Su Chen and the rest were walking over.

Before they got closer, Su Chen’s voice was heard and it held a hint of hostile sharpness. “Have they left?
