For some unknown reason, even though this was the first time she had met Ye Fei, she felt a sense of closeness, as if they had known each other for a long time.
"Mr. Ye, this is the supreme membership card of our Precious Treasures Pavilion. All the treasures you purchase from us in the future will enjoy a 30% discount!"
"Please keep it."
Her slender, fair hands directly extended the card towards Ye Fei.
Ye Fei didn't stand on ceremony and directly put the card into his Qiankun Bag.
"Miss, bad news! Young Master Wan is here again!"
The one reporting the news was her personal maid, Nuan Chun.
Upon hearing that Young Master Wan had returned, Gu Bing's good mood was instantly shattered.
"Just say I'm not here!"
"Stop him!"
Gu Bing said, frowning.
This Young Master Wan was like a stubborn piece of toffee. Ever since he met Gu Bing, he had been relentlessly pursuing her, making her utterly annoyed!
"Miss Gu, I've come to see you!"
"I've brought you your favorite pastries!"
His voice arrived before he did!
His loud voice immediately drew the attention of those around him.
This was exactly the effect Young Master Wan desired!
He, accompanied by two guards, strode towards Gu Bing's office.
"Young Master Wan, my lady is not here today. Please return first!"
Nuan Chun blocked his path with a smile.
The meaning was quite clear.
He was unwelcome!
But this Young Master Wan seemed to be missing a screw; he didn't understand Nuan Chun's words at all.
He continued his way upstairs as if nothing had happened.
"Don't block my way!"
"Since your lady isn't here, I'll just wait for her in her office!"
"I asked the family chef to make many delicious pastries today to bring for her to try."
As he spoke, Young Master Wan continued his ascent.
Meanwhile, Gu Bing was increasingly bothered.
No matter how many times she rejected him, he remained persistent and continued his pursuit, forcing her to hide each time.
She was utterly fed up!
If he wasn't a supreme client of her family, she would have blocked him long ago.
"Stay right here, I'll leave through this side door!"
Seeing the approaching figure, Gu Bing calmly opened a small door.
Just as she was about to slip out through the side door, Ye Fei called out to her.
"How long are you going to keep hiding?"
"I have a way to solve this once and for all!"
Gu Bing, who was about to leave, looked up.
"Tell me, what good method do you have?"
Ye Fei then smiled calmly, pointed at himself, then at Gu Bing, and said.
"The way to solve this once and for all is for me to pretend to be your partner for now!"
"He'll surely retreat then!"
Gu Bing hadn't expected Ye Fei's idea to be to pretend to be her partner. However, after a moment, she suddenly exclaimed with delight.
"How could I have not thought of that!"
"Quick, quick, let's discuss it!"
As the voice grew closer, the two had already finished their discussion.
The moment the main door was opened, Ye Fei directly pulled Gu Bing into his arms.
"Excuse me!"
Nuan Chun continued to block Young Master Wan.
"Young Master Wan, my lady is truly not here, please don't look anymore!"
With a bang, Young Master Wan, who was holding a food box, stared in disbelief at the two figures embracing each other.
"You brat, let her go immediately!"
"How dare you lay your hands on my woman!"
"This is outrageous!"
Young Master Wan had already considered Gu Bing his possession. Seeing her embracing a stranger made him so angry that his lungs were about to explode.
"It's my wife and me embracing. What business is it of yours?"
"What right do you have to shout at me!"
Ye Fei slightly released Gu Bing from his embrace and said calmly.
"Bing Bing, you're being coerced, aren't you?"
"Tell me quickly, this isn't true!"
"I don't believe you could fall for someone in such a short time!"
"And such a pretty boy at that!"
However, no matter how much he shouted, Gu Bing remained silent.
When Young Master Wan finally calmed down, he emerged from Ye Fei's embrace and said.
"Young Master Wan, I appreciate your admiration, but feelings are never something one can control."
"What I want to tell you now is that I have indeed fallen for him!"
"He is my hero!"
These words, which were tantamount to a confession, made Young Master Wan's eyes turn red.
"I don't care, what makes this pretty boy better than me?"
"Look at his simple clothes, he's clearly a freeloader!"
After saying these words, seeing Gu Bing still looking at the pretty boy with a shy gaze, he became even more enraged.
His resentful gaze fell upon Ye Fei, who stood tall and proud with a smug look on his face.
"Pretty boy, you're only favored by Bing Bing because you have some good looks. What are you so proud of!"
"Remember, beauty is a fleeting asset!"
"If you're willing to leave Bing Bing, name your price!"
Young Master Wan, still not giving up, shouted.
"I sincerely love Bing Bing, and Bing Bing has also said she wants to grow old with me!"
"No matter what price you offer, I won't be tempted!"
"My feelings for Bing Bing are as clear as the heavens!"
Gu Bing, her small head buried in Ye Fei's embrace, couldn't help but smile wryly. These loyal words even made her feel a bit dazed.
As for Nuan Chun, she stared at their performance, dumbfounded, her expression one of utter speechlessness.
"Brat, you're asking for death!"
"Since you refuse to listen to my good words, I'll have to resort to force!"
"Let me tell you, my Wan family is the richest in the Desolate Domain. If you offend me like this, you won't have a good time!"
His sinister voice sounded again.
However, this time Gu Bing spoke first.
She said with an unfriendly expression.
"Young Master Wan, I respect you as a distinguished guest of our Precious Treasures Pavilion, which is why I've kindly rejected your advances repeatedly. But you've gone too far this time!"
"If you continue to be so ignorant and insist on making a scene in our Precious Treasures Pavilion, then I won't hold back any longer!"
"Ultimately, my feelings are my own decision. Can you force me to buy or sell?"
"I've said all I have to say!"
"Young Master Wan, if you have nothing else, please leave immediately. You've already disturbed my work!"
Gu Bing said domineeringly.
