"Sorry, I'm late."
"Let's go in quickly!"
"We were just waiting for you."
When the sharp-faced, monkey-like security guard overheard their conversation, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Fortunately, he hadn't caused a major disaster.
He really hadn't expected that this delicate-looking young man in front of him was actually Miss Yuan's friend.
If this were to be investigated, he would surely be in trouble.
The security guard was now as quiet as a chicken, not daring to make any sound.
"Remember, judging people by their appearance will lead to great losses in the future!"
"I'm in a good mood today, so I won't argue with you!"
"It's best if you take a detour when you see me in the future!"
After Ye Fei finished speaking, he turned to the other security guard and said with approval.
"You did very well, thank you."
Then, Ye Fei followed Yuan Bing to the reserved private room.
Private Room No. 5, which was also the room their family always used for business entertainment.
At this moment, many young men and women had already gathered in the room.
Everyone was very curious about the friend whom Yuan Bing had to personally go out to greet.
Especially the young master of the Sun family, one of the four great families, who shamelessly and persistently pursued Yuan Bing, was extremely annoyed.
The young master of the Sun family had spent a lot of money and effort today, wanting to get the woman to agree to his pursuit and become his girlfriend at this birthday banquet.
"I want to see what kind of person it is that she has to go out and greet personally!"
The young master Sun wore glasses and looked rather refined.
"Young Master Sun, don't worry. I believe she will be very touched by the gift you prepared for Miss Yuan today. You will surely win the beauty's heart!"
"We brothers congratulate you in advance!"
Many young men in suits surrounded the young master Sun, their faces filled with flattering smiles.
"Alright, I'll take your good words!"
The young master Sun smiled and clinked glasses with them.
"Ye Fei, we're here, this is it."
Yuan Bing pulled open the door to the private room, and all eyes turned towards the entrance.
Seeing that the person Yuan Bing had personally gone out to greet was such a delicate-looking individual, the young master Sun instantly felt relieved.
Based on his understanding of Yuan Bing, she would never like someone like this.
As for the others, they also discreetly sized up Ye Fei.
Ye Fei actually disliked attending such banquets; he would rather go back to sleep.
He thought about delivering the birthday gift as soon as possible and then going back to rest.
"Alright, let me introduce everyone first."
"This is Ye Fei, my savior and my friend."
Yuan Bing said with a smile, and especially when the young master Sun's gaze fell upon them, she deliberately moved a few steps closer to Ye Fei.
After the introduction, it was time for the meal.
Ye Fei originally didn't want to be the center of attention, but fearing that Ye Fei would not be comfortable, Yuan Bing arranged his seat right next to her.
As for the young master Sun, he was naturally grinding his teeth in hatred.
That seat was originally prepared for himself.
"Kid, let's switch seats!"
Just as Yuan Bing went to the restroom, the young master Sun seized the opportunity and wanted to swap seats with Ye Fei.
"You go sit in my seat."
"Let me tell you, don't dream of a toad wanting to eat swan meat!"
"You're not good enough!"
The seemingly warning words were quite harsh to Ye Fei's ears.
Ye Fei had initially been willing to give up his seat to him, but now he suddenly changed his mind.
"This seat is mine!"
"Your seat is not here."
"Why should I give it to you?"
Ye Fei asked doubtfully.
"Because I'm stronger!"
"Let me tell you, someone like you, killing you is as easy as crushing an ant!"
"If you know what's good for you, you'd better leave here quickly!"
"Otherwise, the consequences will be unbearable for you!"
"Understand?"
This seemingly refined young master Sun had completely changed his demeanor.
"I don't understand, and I don't want to understand!"
"Since I was invited by Yuan Bing, even if I have to leave, I should at least say goodbye to her."
Ye Fei said again.
"Are you trying to stall for time?"
"You'd better leave here quickly and get out!"
The young master Sun directly grabbed Ye Fei's shoulder, looking like he was about to get serious.
"What are you guys doing?"
Yuan Bing, who had just returned from the restroom, looked at the confrontation between the two with confusion.
"It's nothing, I was just chatting with this young brother."
"Bingbing, please sit down quickly!"
The young master Sun immediately changed his expression, smiled, and pulled out Yuan Bing's chair.
With his back turned, the young master Sun silently clenched his fist, then relaxed it.
During the meal, Yuan Bing took care of Ye Fei's feelings while making small talk with everyone.
As for the young master Sun, he stared at Ye Fei with a distorted expression several times.
Ye Fei naturally sensed the gazes cast upon him.
However, he simply paid no mind to them.
"Ye Fei, quickly try this, it's my favorite."
Yuan Bing said with a beaming smile, recommending many delicious dishes to Ye Fei.
In fact, one of the reasons she invited Ye Fei was to have him help her ward off the persistent advances of the young master Sun.
As expected, the young master Sun's expression instantly soured.
The sinister look hidden by his glasses made even those next to him shiver.
Only after the meal was over did the substantial, sinister gaze gradually fade.
Next was the gift-giving session.
"Young Master Sun, we heard you prepared a very precious gift for Miss Yuan, and we'd like to see it too!"
Someone spoke up, and the atmosphere in the private room was instantly ignited.
Everyone was aware of the young master Sun's persistent pursuit of Yuan Bing.
Even Yuan Bing's repeated rejections were common knowledge.
However, the young master Sun seemed to grow bolder with every setback, refusing to give up.
"Indeed, I have spent several months preparing this, all for the purpose of presenting it to Bingbing at her birthday banquet today."
This was a response to the earlier conversation.
"Bingbing, today is your twenty-fifth birthday."
"I specifically searched the world for you and finally managed to acquire a set of jewelry that perfectly suits you."
"Now, bring the jewelry to me!"
At the young master Sun's command, a subordinate holding a large wooden gift box came before him.
With a bang.
The young master Sun opened the wooden gift box, revealing a set of imperial green jewelry placed inside.
The imperial green jewelry was surrounded by a circle of sparkling diamonds.
Especially under the illumination of the lights, it shone brilliantly.
"Oh my god, this is too beautiful!"
"I wish I owned a set of jewelry like this!"
"Could this be the legendary 'Eternal Love'!"
"I remember this set of jewelry was auctioned for a sky-high price of four hundred million yuan at an internal auction abroad a few days ago!"
"If I'm not mistaken, this is 'Eternal Love'!"
Especially after receiving affirmation from those around the young master Sun,
With a rush.
The scene erupted like a fried pot.
Everyone began to discuss animatedly.
