The chants of "Get together!" rose one after another, converging into a great wave that crashed against Liu Yunxi.

Staring at the kneeling Sun Yunxing, Liu Yunxi said nothing, her brow furrowed tightly. Her expression was troubled.

Zhang Man, standing in the crowd and enjoying the drama, felt a pang of overwhelming jealousy as she watched Liu Yunxi.

She couldn't help but mutter under her breath, "That little slut, Liu Yunxi. Still putting on an act at a time like this!"

"How disgusting!"

"If it were me, I would have accepted Young Master Sun long ago. Who wouldn't want to marry into a rich family?"

At this thought, Zhang Man couldn't help but sigh.

Sun Yunxing, however, didn't panic when Liu Yunxi still hadn't accepted his roses. Instead, a confident smile spread across his face.

This gave Liu Yunxi a bad feeling, and her premonition proved correct. She watched as Sun Yunxing suddenly pulled a ring box from within the bouquet of red roses.

Then, he slowly opened it right in front of her, revealing the glittering diamond ring inside.

"Yun Xi! This diamond ring represents my heart. Please accept it!"

"This ring is an exclusive custom design—only one can be made for a person in their entire lifetime, and I am giving mine to you!"

"Be with me! I will make you happy!"

As Sun Yunxing's words rang out, the crowd began to cheer him on again.

"Say yes! Young Master Sun is so sincere!"

"Yeah, yeah, that's an exclusive custom-made diamond ring! If it were me, I'd say yes in a heartbeat!"

"Liu, the great beauty, what are you waiting for? This is your chance! If I were a girl, I'd definitely accept Young Master Sun!"

As the crowd's shouts grew louder, Liu Yunxi's expression turned grim. She had expected Sun Yunxing to pester her when she came, but she was completely unprepared for this kind of situation. She had never imagined something like this would happen.

Just as Liu Yunxi was caught in her dilemma, a familiar voice rose from the crowd.

"You've got some nerve, Sun! Liu Yunxi already has a boyfriend, yet you're still pulling this stunt. I have to say, you're more thick-skinned than I thought!"

The voice was like a lifeline to Liu Yunxi, and her face lit up with overwhelming joy.

In contrast, Sun Yunxing's happy expression instantly darkened.

"Who the hell do you think you are? Shut up!" he snarled. "Since when is it your place to criticize this young master? If you have the guts, show your face! Let me see who you are!"

As Sun Yunxing finished speaking, the crowd that had been packed tightly around them parted, revealing Liu Ergou standing in the opening.

Looking at the kneeling Sun Yunxing, Liu Ergou walked forward with a smirk. "What's wrong? Now that you see who I am, are you going to have me killed?"

"Sun Yunxing, didn't I tell you Liu Yunxi is my girlfriend? And you pull this kind of stunt!"

"You're just trying to start something!"

When Sun Yunxing saw it was Liu Ergou, he stared in stunned silence for a moment before bursting into roaring laughter.

His reaction startled Liu Ergou. Did I really scold him so bad he went crazy? Well, if I did drive him mad... eh, it's not like anything bad would happen to me.

While Liu Ergou was pondering this possibility, Sun Yunxing stopped laughing and sneered, "I was wondering who it was. Turns out it's just you, you bumpkin!"

"You? You think you're worthy of being Yun Xi's boyfriend? You should go take a piss and get a good look at yourself!"

"A peasant like you wouldn't even be here if I wasn't in a good mood, you know that!"

"You'd better scram now while I'm not yet angry!"

"If you don't, don't blame me for what happens next!"

Hearing such arrogant words, Liu Ergou let out a cold laugh.

"What happens next?"

"I'd love to see what you can do. Go on, show this country boy what you've got, Young Master Sun!"

As he spoke, Liu Ergou moved to stand in front of Liu Yunxi, shielding her behind him.

Seeing that Liu Ergou was so clueless, Sun Yunxing lost his patience.

"Fine, you asked for this!"

"Don't blame me for what's coming!"

As his voice fell, more than a dozen men in black suits came running out from the treeline behind the beach. These bodyguards quickly gathered behind Sun Yunxing.

They shouted in unison, "Young Master!"

Seeing this, the onlooking crowd took several steps back in unison. No one had expected so many men to be hidden nearby. Given the situation, it was clear things were about to escalate, and as ordinary people, they wanted no part in it.

Liu Ergou looked at the men in black and couldn't help but sigh.

I don't know when it started, but rich people sure love hiring these guys in black suits. In my experience, though... they're all for show. To be blunt, I've never met a tough one. Each one is more pathetic than the last. Just a bunch of posers. I wonder how these guys will stack up?

As Liu Ergou was musing, Sun Yunxing spoke coldly. "See that, you country clod? These are my bodyguards!"

"You wanted to broaden your horizons, right? Fine, I'll satisfy you today. I'll give you a good lesson!" he said, putting heavy emphasis on the word "lesson."

As his last word fell, the dozen bodyguards immediately understood. Raising their fists, they charged toward Liu Ergou. Their movements were swift and without a hint of hesitation, a clear sign that they were professionals.

But despite their professional appearance, their combat skills were nothing to Liu Ergou.

As the bodyguards charged, Liu Ergou met the foremost man with a flying kick. He unleashed it with half his strength, slamming it squarely into the man's chest.

A sharp CRACK echoed on impact.

That's the sound of his sternum shattering, Liu Ergou knew instantly. But I controlled my power. The bones are broken, but the fragments won't pierce his internal organs. It's just shattered, that's all.

The kicked man flew backward, instantly bowling over four or five of his companions.

This terrifying display of power made the remaining bodyguards freeze in their tracks, their faces masks of pure shock.
