What a grand gesture, truly a grand gesture.
This Young Master Sun has clearly put in a lot of effort to win over Yuan Bing.
"Bingbing, as you know, I've liked you since university. Today, on your birthday, I hope you'll give me a chance to take care of you and be my girlfriend, okay?"
Young Master Sun looked at her expectantly, hoping Yuan Bing would agree.
"Say yes! Say yes!"
"Together, together!"
The crowd around them started egging them on.
Ye Fei, meanwhile, was leisurely cracking sunflower seeds, as if watching a movie.
Yuan Bing, however, showed no signs of joy. She was utterly fed up with Young Master Sun's pursuit.
She recalled how, in university, when a senior pursued her, the result was that the senior was directly blacklisted by the Sun family and had to reluctantly give up and move to another city.
There had been several such instances. Initially, she didn't know who was behind it all.
It wasn't until a year ago, during a business trip, that she accidentally met her former senior and learned the truth.
From then on, she couldn't stand Young Master Sun.
She didn't want to see him again.
However, as her family was also one of the four major families in Jiangcheng, she had no other recourse.
She took several deep breaths before speaking.
"I'm sorry, I can't accept."
"I've already made it clear to you before, I don't like you. I've never liked you."
"We can only ever be friends."
"Your gift is too precious, I can't accept it!"
Yuan Bing shook her head and refused.
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone around them fell silent, afraid of getting caught in the crossfire.
"Do you really hate me that much?"
"You won't even give me a shred of opportunity?"
Young Master Sun wore a wry smile, seeming genuinely earnest.
"I'm sorry, we can only be friends!"
Yuan Bing refused resolutely again.
Previously, she had rejected Young Master Sun privately. But precisely because of this, Young Master Sun had relentlessly pursued her. Thus, she decided to decisively shut down his hopes in front of everyone.
"If you don't like someone like me, do you like this pretty boy?"
"Explain yourself!"
Being rejected so publicly by the same person, Young Master Sun couldn't swallow the humiliation. With anger etched on his face, he pointed directly at Ye Fei and questioned him.
"Yes, I like someone like him!"
"Is it any of your business?"
To thoroughly make Young Master Sun give up, Yuan Bing stepped forward and took Ye Fei's right hand, who was still cracking sunflower seeds.
Ye Fei looked on, bewildered, as everyone's attention shifted to him.
Especially Young Master Sun's gaze, filled with disdain, he scoffed.
"Besides being taller and a bit more handsome than me, what else makes him better than me?"
"I've seen plenty of these pretty boys!"
"Can he buy you four hundred million yuan worth of jewelry?"
"Why can't you even look at me a few more times!"
It was evident that Young Master Sun truly liked Yuan Bing. However, it was a one-sided affection, a forced love that wouldn't be sweet.
Yuan Bing remained unmoved.
In fact, she had only recently learned that the seemingly good man, Young Master Sun, was only good on the surface.
"Kid, show me the birthday gift you're giving Bingbing!"
"Let me feast my eyes on it!"
Since the woman had shown him no face and humiliated him, he saw no need to spare this pretty boy, Ye Fei.
"Hahaha, is that bag you're holding the birthday gift you're giving Bingbing?"
"It's in such a shabby bag, it must be embarrassing!"
Several of Young Master Sun's companions also cast contemptuous glances at Ye Fei.
"Young Master Sun, he is my friend. Please apologize for what you just said to him!"
Yuan Bing immediately stepped forward and shielded Ye Fei behind her.
At this moment, Ye Fei was still cracking sunflower seeds, completely ignoring Young Master Sun.
However, when he heard that his gift was embarrassing, he decided to teach the man a lesson.
"You say my gift is embarrassing?"
"You're nothing but a frog in a well!"
"Bingbing, my gift will definitely surprise you!"
"Don't you have a scar on your arm?"
"This ointment I made can quickly make the scar on your arm disappear!"
Ye Fei said confidently.
But his words were met with snickers from everyone present.
"Kid, is there really such a magical ointment in the world?"
"Do you take us for fools?"
"Instant disappearance? If that's true, I'll call you Grandpa!"
Young Master Sun couldn't help but chuckle.
Ye Fei's eyes lit up, and he immediately retorted,
"Did you really mean what you just said?"
"If I can actually do it, you'll call me Grandpa?"
Young Master Sun snorted and replied,
"Of course, I, Young Master Sun, am a man of my word!"
"As long as you can do as you say, I will too!"
"But!"
"If you fail, you are forbidden from contacting Bingbing anymore!"
"And you can never appear before Bingbing again!"
"What do you say, do you agree?"
Ye Fei slapped his thigh and readily agreed.
"Alright, then I hope you can keep your word!"
"Let's not delay, I'll let you all witness the power of my ointment right now!"
Seeing Ye Fei about to take out the ointment from the paper bag, Yuan Bing, worried that Ye Fei would be embarrassed, quickly stopped him.
"Ye Fei, I appreciate your good intentions."
"How about we just forget about it?"
Ye Fei knew exactly what she was worried about. He directly brushed aside her small hand that was on his paper bag and took out a glass jar contained within the paper bag.
Everyone looked at the so-called ointment, which was packaged in such a cheap glass jar, their expressions were hard to describe.
Especially when they saw Ye Fei, as if seeking praise, hand the glass jar to Yuan Bing.
He even specifically instructed,
"This is a jar of ointment I made myself this afternoon. It has excellent scar-removing effects, you can use it with complete confidence."
"Don't worry, this is a secret recipe passed down from my master, and its efficacy has been verified."
Fearing she wouldn't dare to use it, Ye Fei kindly added.
"Hahaha, I thought it was something else!"
"In my opinion, this is the cheapest gift Bingbing has ever received!"
"Kid, you're destined to lose!"
"I really don't believe your so-called secret recipe can make scars disappear with a single application. This is simply preposterous!"
Yuan Bing's first instinct was that Ye Fei was talking nonsense. However, to avoid embarrassing him, and since her scar was under her arm, she opened the transparent jar without thinking.
As soon as it was opened, a fresh medicinal scent wafted towards her.
"It smells so good."
Yuan Bing took a deep breath and murmured.
Even the other girls standing beside her, who were close to Yuan Bing, looked intoxicated.
