I'm invincible once I descend the mountain; the beautiful CEO is forcing me to get our marriage

When he stood next to the elegantly dressed Su Wanqing, the strong sense of incongruity made everyone who saw the scene pause for a moment.

The surrounding air seemed to freeze for two seconds.

Immediately, a series of gazes, some curious, some disdainful, and some amused, all focused on Ye An.

"Who is that man? Did he come with Su Wanqing?"

"Dressed like that for the sake of coming? Do you think Wansheng Villa is some kind of roadside food stall?"

"I guess he's the Su family's driver or bodyguard? He's so ignorant of etiquette."

The hushed chatter wasn't loud, but it carried clearly.

Ye An acted as if he hadn't heard, and followed Su Wanqing into the manor gate.

The interior of Wansheng Villa is even more luxurious than it appears from the outside, exuding an understated elegance.

Beneath the enormous crystal chandelier was a spacious banquet hall, bustling with people, their elegant attire and graceful figures creating a vibrant atmosphere.

The men, dressed in suits, gathered together, chatting and laughing, while the women, adorned with jewels, gracefully moved among them, carrying champagne.

Almost everyone knew each other, naturally forming distinct little circles and engaging in lively conversation.

Su Wanqing's appearance immediately caused a small commotion.

Many young men's eyes lit up, and they all raised their wine glasses, ready to step forward and strike up a conversation.

But when they saw Ye An, dressed casually and out of place in the surroundings, standing next to Su Wanqing, their smiles froze on their faces.

In an instant, everyone's attention was focused on the two of them.

Ye An looked around and felt as if he had walked into a strange stage, where everyone wore an exquisite mask.

He didn't like this atmosphere.

Just then, a young man in his late twenties, wearing a Versace haute couture suit and with his hair slicked back, walked straight over with a wine glass in his hand.

He completely ignored Ye An, wearing what he thought was a charming smile, and raised his glass to Su Wanqing.

"Wanqing, it's been a long time. You look beautiful today."

Su Wanqing nodded politely: "Young Master Zhou, hello."

The young man known as "Young Master Zhou" is Zhou Mingyu, the only son of another real estate tycoon in Jiangcheng. He had previously pursued Su Wanqing relentlessly, and despite being rejected several times, he remained persistent.

Zhou Mingyu's gaze finally fell on Ye An seemingly casually, looking him up and down, his contempt and disdain undisguised.

He pursed his lips and said to Su Wanqing in a joking tone:

"Wanqing, is this... your new driver?"

"He has quite the discerning eye, but I wonder if he understands the rules here?"

Zhou Mingyu's voice wasn't loud, but it was loud enough for the people around him to hear. He watched with great interest, waiting to see Ye An's embarrassed reaction.

Ye An has not yet reacted.

Su Wanqing, on the other hand, immediately lost her polite smile.

"Young Master Zhou is joking." She picked up a glass of champagne from the waiter's tray, held the stem of the glass with her fingers, and swirled it gently. "It's none of anyone else's business who I bring here to teach me the rules."

She paused, her gaze falling on Zhou Mingyu's face, which appeared somewhat greasy due to overconfidence.

"But you, Young Master Zhou, have been rejected by girls so many times, yet you still stick around like a fly every time. What kind of rule is that? The rule of being shameless?"

These words left no room for sentimentality whatsoever.

Zhou Mingyu's face turned pale and then red in an instant; it was quite a sight.

The wine glass in his hand clattered as he gripped it, but he couldn't show it in front of Su Wanqing. He could only grit his teeth and utter two words: "You're something else!"

After saying that, he turned around with a dark face and walked away quickly, his back view revealing his anger and embarrassment.

Ye An didn't glance at him once from beginning to end, as if the other party were just a bothersome insect...

……

In a nearby sofa booth, several well-dressed women were gathered together, their eyes never leaving this area.

"Was that Zhou Mingyu just now? He got humiliated by Wanqing again. He really has no memory."

"The main thing is that guy next to Wanqing, who is he? He looks unfamiliar." One of the girls in a pink dress asked curiously.

"Wearing such simple clothes to a high-end business cocktail party? When did Wanqing's taste become so down-to-earth?"

"Haha, are you trying to highlight your own beauty?"

This remark elicited a low chuckle.

"Don't you know what kind of taste I have?" A woman in a champagne-colored dress and exquisite makeup sneered, her tone laced with barely concealed sourness.

Her name is Lin Feifei. Her family is from the provincial capital and they also run a business, but they are still a step behind the Su family. She always likes to compete with Su Wanqing.

"I've already inquired about it," Lin Feifei said in a low voice, as if she had discovered a shocking secret.

"That kid's name is Ye An. He's from the mountains and supposedly has pretty good martial arts skills. He's currently living and eating at the Su family's house. To put it bluntly, he's just a gigolo who lives off a woman."

"Really?"

"Boyfriend? Wanqing found a thug/bodyguard as her boyfriend?"

The women were immediately shocked, as if they had heard something unbelievable.

Su Wanqing has such high standards. She never gives a second glance to those famous rich young men in the circle. How could she possibly be interested in such an ordinary person who has nothing?

"That's right," Lin Feifei pouted. "I don't know what kind of spell Wanqing has been cast on. I heard she even confessed her feelings in public. She's really treasuring him."

"My God, Wanqing is too naive. This kind of person is obviously after her money and family background. She'll have her day to cry." Some people had already started shaking their heads.

Sitting in the main seat, a woman with the most mature demeanor, wearing a black V-neck dress, frowned.

She is Jiang Ya, the undisputed leader of this small circle, with the most powerful family background.

She watched Su Wanqing's retreating figure and sighed inwardly.

Wanqing is a good girl in every way, except that she is too innocent when it comes to matters of the heart, like a blank sheet of paper, making her the easiest to be deceived by some poor young men with sweet words.

This kind of man, with an unclear background and impure motives, is hardly worthy of people in their circle.

Jiang Ya thought to herself that, as the eldest sister, she needed to give her a warning.

It's okay to play around with it, but don't take it seriously.

She put down her wine glass, straightened her skirt, and said to the people around her, "You all wait here, I'm going to talk to Wanqing."

"We can't let her be dragged down by this kind of person and ruin her own life."

At this moment, a jeep with military license plates slowly came to a stop outside the gate of Wansheng Villa. The door opened, and a middle-aged man in civilian clothes with a burly build stepped out.

"Are Wang Zhentian and Su Hongchuan definitely coming tonight?" He turned to ask the person next to him.

"It was Wang Zhentian who begged you to mediate, how could he dare not come? However, the Su family only sent two juniors this time," the crew-cut youth replied.

The middle-aged man was silent for a moment, then said decisively, "Alright, let's go in."
