The young man seemed to have heard something really funny.
He had an old - fashioned and gentlemanly manner, holding a handkerchief in his hand. Originally, he used it to cover his mouth while coughing, but now he covered his mouth and let out a soft chuckle.
"Come on, tell me. How did I get myself into trouble?"
Although he was being provoked like this, he didn't show the slightest sign of annoyance.
However, the calmer he was, the more it made the agent lose his composure.
The agent let go of Chen Chunyao and was about to step forward to teach this young upstart a lesson.
"You don't understand when I talk nicely. You're just forcing me to use my fists, huh?"
"Fine. I'm in a good mood today. I'll teach you what it means not to take on a job without the right skills."
As he said this, he swung his fist at the young man.
This seemingly weak man, he thought he could knock him down with one punch.
Chen Chunyao was worried for the young man. Just as she was about to step forward to stop the agent, a black shadow flashed before her eyes.
Then, she heard the agent let out a shrill scream.
She stopped in her tracks and took a closer look. She found that two men in black suits had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
They hardly made any big moves, but in an instant, they had subdued the agent on the ground.
Obviously, these two suit - clad men were the young man's bodyguards.
A young man who went out with bodyguards must have an extraordinary identity.
The agent was pressed to the ground. His arm hurt as if it was dislocated, but he was even more scared mentally.
He had been in the capital for many years and was familiar with most of the rich second - generation.
The young man in front of him seemed familiar, but he just couldn't remember who he was for a moment.
Just then, the bar manager rushed over. Seeing this farce, he quickly stepped forward to greet them.
"Master Qi, don't be angry. It's not worth it. With so many people around, if someone takes a picture and spreads it, it'll damage your reputation."
The manager didn't want to offend either side, so he smiled apologetically as a buffer.
Hearing this address, the agent immediately knew where his sense of familiarity came from.
He had seen the father and the grandfather of the Qi siblings before.
The Qis all had the same kind of nose, high and straight, a family trait.
Moreover, this young man in front of him looked quite similar to Father Qi when he was young.
The agent quickly said, "So it's Master Qi. I really didn't know. I'm sorry for offending you. I'll leave right away."
He could deal with Chen Chunyao's matter later. But if he offended Master Qi, he didn't know if there would even be a later.
He was really unlucky today. Not only did he meet a tough nut like Chen Chunyao, but he also offended Qi Ye.
Qi Ye didn't respond to the agent's flattery, but he also didn't pursue the agent's previous verbal offense.
"I don't need your apology. I just want to ask you, when a young girl doesn't want to get involved with you, what should you do?"
He seemed like the kindest teacher, patiently guiding a disobedient student.
The agent knew that Qi Ye was going to stand up for Chen Chunyao. He answered without hesitation, "Of course, I should respect her wishes. I always respect others."
His face was full of a flattering smile, afraid that if he was a bit slower, Qi Ye would be unhappy.
After all, there were plenty of young and beautiful girls. Letting go of Chen Chunyao, he could just find another one.
It wasn't worth offending Qi Ye.
Since Qi Ye wanted to play the hero and save the beauty, he'd give him this face.
Qi Ye seemed to be in a very leisurely mood that day. He even asked the agent to go back and get the contract, and then made him destroy it in front of everyone.
"If I ever find out that you're pimping again, don't blame me for being不客气."
After seeing the pieces of paper all over the floor, Qi Ye put away the smile on his lips and motioned for the agent to get lost.
The agent didn't even dare to look at Chen Chunyao. Hearing that he could leave, he quickly made a promise and then scurried away.
After the agent left, Qi Ye looked at Chen Chunyao who was standing in the corner again.
"Little girl, you can go. If you sign with a company in the future, find a professional lawyer to take a look."
A smile appeared on his lips again. When he looked at Chen Chunyao, his eyes were very gentle.
Chen Chunyao had had boyfriends and many male friends, but she felt that this man in front of her was different from every man she had known before.
He would actually go to such lengths to help a stranger.
At that time, she couldn't describe what she was feeling inside. She just thought he was so handsome, in every sense of the word.
Later, she read a sentence and suddenly understood that feeling she had for Qi Ye at that time.
People said that when looking for a partner, don't just look for someone who is only nice to you.
Look for someone with a great sense of love in their heart. Their love is not selfish or narrow - minded.
A person who is willing to help a stranger will only be better to their friends and family.
This was the reason why she fell in love with him at first sight.
This was their first encounter. In Chen Chunyao's heart, Qi Ye that day seemed like Superman, descending from the sky and becoming her hero.
After that, they met a few more times.
Because the beginning was so wonderful, every time they met, Chen Chunyao's affection for him grew deeper.
Until she was completely infatuated with him.
Just like now, when Qi Ye called her a slut, she actually lay on his lap and coquettishly said that it was him who had turned her into this.
She recounted their first encounter in a tone full of nostalgia.
Finally, she emphasized again, "I was the first one to know you. Why can't you take a look at me?"
In the past, she would never have dared to talk to Qi Ye like this.
But this first plea only earned her a cold sneer from the other side.
"Who said you were the first one to know me?"
Qi Ye pushed her away. He glanced at the wrinkled part of his pants where she had been lying and frowned slightly.
"Do you know why I stood up for you back then?"
His eyes and expression were extremely cruel.
Chen Chunyao sensed something and instinctively didn't want to hear it. "Don't say it. Please, don't say it."
Don't shatter her last illusion.
She really couldn't take any more.
But Qi Ye ignored her plea and still spoke coldly.
"Because the clothes you were wearing that day were exactly the same as one that Xu Tingyu had. And your hairpin was a matching one with hers."
At that time, Chen Chunyao didn't have much money. All the money she earned had to go towards paying off her family's debts.
She was also very proud and didn't want to easily accept others' help. She always said that she could manage on her own.
So Xu Tingyu would always buy her a lot of beautiful clothes, shoes, and bags in the name of matching best - friend outfits.
Whenever she saw something nice, she would directly buy two and give one to Chen Chunyao.
The little dress she was wearing that day was a gift from Xu Tingyu when she came back from a performance abroad. She said it was a signing - contract gift.
Xu Tingyu also had one.
The two of them even made an appointment that on Chen Chunyao's birthday, they would both wear these dresses and go shopping and have dinner.
This dress was from a very niche brand, and it was rare for people to wear the same one.
That's why Qi Ye noticed it at a glance.
And he had also seen the hairpin on Xu Tingyu's head.
One coincidence was a coincidence, but two coincidences were no longer coincidences.
