After ninety-nine online romances, I finally met my ex in person when school started.

Gu Qinghan's warm breath brushed against the back of Zhu Xunchuan's neck, carrying a deadly, cool sandalwood scent.

Shen Tianxi's sweet smile froze instantly, and the domineering temper of the Tianjin Military Region compound could no longer be suppressed. She directly released the glow stick, twisted her body sharply, and met Gu Qinghan's gaze without any politeness.

"What's wrong with being a counselor? University counselors are supposed to be all-powerful, but what right do they have to tell students who they go to concerts with after class?" Shen Tianxi raised her chin, wrapped her arms tightly around Zhu Xunchuan's left arm, and pressed her ample curves against the man's arm, defiantly retorting, "Teacher Gu, concert tickets are registered under real names. You're standing in the aisle, blocking other people's view of the performance."

The two women's gazes collided violently in the air.

One is a cool and aloof older woman from a scholarly family, with long, slender legs encased in black stockings, and behind her gold-rimmed glasses, she exudes anger at having her sovereignty violated.

One is a sickly heiress with a military background, whose alluring figure is outlined in a white dress, and who exudes a crazy spirit that dares to defy anyone.

Sparks flew everywhere.

Zhu Xun Chuan sat in the middle, a chill running down his spine. He was just about to speak and forcefully take control when he caught a glimpse of an extremely unusual commotion at the end of the VIP passage.

The scalpers and security personnel who had been blocking the entrance were suddenly forced to retreat to both sides as if cleaved by an invisible blade. Several burly foreign bodyguards in black, wearing communicators, carved a vacuum through the crowded sea of ​​people.

Surrounded by bodyguards, a woman walked towards the front row with a cold expression, wearing eight-centimeter stilettos.

She wore a deep V-neck burgundy velvet mini-dress. The dress was extremely form-fitting, perfectly accentuating her mature and alluring curves. At the deep V-neck, a large expanse of her soft, cleavage was glimpsed with each step, and the luxurious diamond necklace reflected a dazzling light in the dim light.

Summer Evening Firefly.

This richest man in North China, who heads the Dinghe Group and can decide the flow of hundreds of billions of yuan at a time, arrived at this noisy stadium with an unapproachable tycoon's aura.

In her hand, she casually carried a rare, top-tier Patek Philippe watch gift box. It was originally a surprise she had prepared for Zhu Xun Chuan after rushing back from an early end to her multi-billion dollar European acquisition deal.

Now, this surprise has turned into a rapidly freezing glacier.

As Xia Wanying approached, the oppressive aura of someone accustomed to being in a superior position instantly enveloped the small area. Even Gu Qinghan, who had just been speaking sharply, involuntarily straightened his back, his pupils behind his glasses slightly contracting.

Shen Tianxi instinctively sensed this deadly hostility. Like a little tiger guarding its food, she not only didn't let go, but instead hugged Zhu Xunchuan's arm even tighter.

Three women in one frame.

The scents of sandalwood, light tea, and the aggressive Bulgari Jasmine Night fragrance emanating from Xia Wanying intertwined wildly at Zhu Xunchuan's nose.

"Is this what you meant by 'too many people, too many eyes, too much inconvenience'?"

Xia Wanying stopped in front of Zhu Xunchuan. She looked down at the little man she both loved and hated, her gaze like a sharp blade, scraping from Shen Tianxi's arm to Gu Qinghan's face standing behind her.

Finally, the image settled in Zhu Xun Chuan's eyes.

"Zhu Xun Chuan, your extracurricular activities are indeed busier than my international conferences." Xia Wan Ying sneered, casually tossing the multi-million dollar watch gift box onto the empty seat next to her with a muffled "bang".

The air was almost frozen.

At this critical moment, Zhu Xun Chuan not only didn't panic, but instead reached out and grabbed Xia Wan Ying's slender, white wrist.

His grip was extremely strong, carrying an irresistible domineering force.

Xia Wanying struggled for a moment but couldn't break free; her eyes grew even colder.

"Wanying, stop fooling around." Zhu Xunchuan lowered his voice, his tone deliberately serious and secretive, and quickly spoke into her ear, "Let me introduce you. This is Shen Tianxi, the granddaughter of Elder Shen from the Tianjin Military Region. I just finalized a secret cooperation agreement regarding logistics channels with some elders at the Tianjin Military Region. In order to gain a foothold in the high-tech industrial park around Peking University, this connection is necessary. She likes Su Mucheng, so I came here specifically to accompany her."

This statement is a textbook example of how a top-tier scumbag can defuse a difficult situation.

He did not deny the fact that he accompanied her, but instead elevated the "romantic affair" to a "high-level power struggle" and "network expansion".

Xia Wanying is an extremely pure businesswoman. She can be jealous, but she absolutely knows how to weigh the weight of interests.

Sure enough, upon hearing the words "Old Shen from the Tianjin Military Region," the icy coldness in Xia Wanying's eyes melted slightly. She was well aware of the Shen family's formidable influence in the Yangtze River Delta and the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. This young man had actually managed to quietly establish connections with high-ranking military officials?

"And what about the one behind her?" Xia Wanying raised her delicate chin and glanced at Gu Qinghan.

"Professor Gu Qinghan. Counselor of the School of Literature, and School Discipline Supervisor." Zhu Xun Chuan didn't even blink. "After all, Su Mucheng is a key project that Dinghe is investing in this year. The school is worried about a stampede, so they sent Professor Gu to the site to conduct a safety assessment. Everyone is doing this for official business."

Gu Qinghan, listening from behind, was furious. When did she become someone who came to conduct a safety assessment? But this bastard had given her a flawless way out, allowing her to maintain the dignity of a university teacher in front of the tycoon's CEO.

The anger in Xia Wanying's eyes finally dissipated completely, replaced by a secret satisfaction at being subdued by this control. But the pride of a chaebol queen would never allow her to let it go so easily.

"Since this is business, I'll join in." Xia Wanying completely ignored the original seating arrangement and plopped down in the empty seat to Zhu Xunchuan's right, wearing high heels.

Zhu Xun Chuan's breath hitched, and his back straightened instantly.

This kind of extreme tug-of-war in a sea of ​​people, in broad daylight, is simply deadly.

Just then, Shen Tianxi on the left also showed her strength. Although she didn't understand anything about logistics or military region cooperation, she could tell that this woman in the red dress was trying to steal the spotlight.

Shen Tianxi angrily pulled an exquisite fruit box from her bag; it contained the special fruit she had prepared for the military region. She peeled open a purple grape, its translucent flesh dripping with juice.

She pressed her body against Zhu Xun Chuan's arm, her slender fingers holding a grape, and placed it directly on Zhu Xun Chuan's lips.

"Honey, I've peeled them, open your mouth and eat the grapes~" Shen Tianxi's voice was so sweet it could melt your heart, but her eyes held a strong possessiveness as she stared intently at Xia Wanying beside her.
