"Hello!"

Qin Fang naturally extended his hand, grasped Yang Rui's somewhat stiff palm, gently shook it once, then immediately released it, giving Yang Rui a way out of the awkward situation.

"I don't mind, of course I don't mind..."

At this moment, Yang Rui's heart felt as though it was bleeding. Inside, he kept cursing, "I mind," "I mind," but on his face, he still had to squeeze out a happy smile, trying to appear nonchalant.

"Then thank you very much..."

Ning Yumo immediately chuckled, expressing her gratitude warmly, although her enthusiasm was not for Yang Rui but rather for her boyfriend Qin Fang beside her. At least her ample chest was rubbing fiercely against Qin Fang's arm... while all Yang Rui could do was watch helplessly.

A nameless rage rose irresistibly within him, and Yang Rui suddenly felt as though he had been slapped in the face; his cheeks burned, and he didn't dare meet Ning Yumo's gaze any longer.

"Yu Mo, show Mr. Qin around, please. I have other guests to attend to. We'll talk later..."

Yang Rui couldn't bear to face Ning Yumo any longer; it would only make him feel even more embarrassed. He quickly found an excuse and slipped away.

What other guests did he have? He had spent millions on this gathering, not for anything but to show Ning Yumo that he was now a successful person, that he at least had the credentials to pursue her.

But who would have expected...

The reality was truly hurtful, striking poor Yang Rui hard enough to nearly make him spit blood on the spot, and he immediately thought of the guy who had given him this information, heading over to him with a huff.

"Tong Bin, you're playing me... Ning Yumo clearly already has a boyfriend, yet you told me she was single?"

Yang Rui was furious enough to spit blood, and the person who had informed him that Ning Yumo was single was named Tong Bin, one of his college classmates, and one of the few who were involved in Ninghai.

Tong Bin was the kind of person who was good at scheming but didn't have much real ability. Since Yang Rui had returned from overseas and become the head of a major enterprise's office in Dragon Country, Tong Bin wanted to secure some business from him. Knowing that Yang Rui had been fond of Ning Yumo during their school days, and being based in Ninghai himself, he had once sought Ning Yumo's help for a small matter and thus knew that she had always been single, so he immediately told Yang Rui, leading to this classmates' reunion...

"Impossible! Ning Yumo has always been single; how could she possibly have a boyfriend..."

Upon hearing this, Tong Bin immediately began shaking his head vigorously.

He had once asked Ning Yumo for a small favor due to their being classmates and had taken the opportunity to introduce her to his girlfriend. Although they didn't contact each other often, they were friends, and this information came from his girlfriend.

"Just look for yourself..."

Yang Rui's expression darkened; he had come full of enthusiasm to pursue Ning Yumo, spending a large sum of money almost recklessly.

Of course, if he had successfully won over Ning Yumo's heart, any investment would have been worthwhile, not to mention Ning Yumo's substantial background...

But he had not expected things to turn out this way, causing him great anger!

How could he not be angry?

If Ning Yumo indeed had a boyfriend, his chances were virtually nil, and the millions he had invested would be as good as washed away. Even though his salary was high, he couldn't afford to waste money like this...

"Eh, who is that kid?"

Tong Bin glanced over in Ning Yumo's direction and was immediately puzzled; he had never seen Qin Fang before and naturally didn't recognize him.

After some thought, he pulled his girlfriend over, "Have you seen that young man before? He's said to be Ning Yumo's boyfriend..."

"No way! Yu Mo's boyfriend? I've never seen him before..."

Tong Bin's girlfriend was also surprised. Just over a month ago, she had coffee with Ning Yumo, and she even mentioned this. Back then, Ning Yumo flatly denied it, so how could it be that just over a month later, she has a boyfriend?

"He looks so average... Must be a mistake, right? How can someone like him be a match for Ning Yumo?"

Tong Bin's girlfriend immediately looked down on Qin Fang with disdain, as if Qin Fang was hideously ugly, "Definitely not her boyfriend, most likely it's just a shield Yu Mo found to ward off others..."

Achoo~~

After sending Yang Rui away, Qin Fang naturally stayed with Sister Ning. Just as they discovered Cai Qing sitting in the corner, they immediately walked over. Suddenly, Qin Fang felt a chill come over him, and couldn't help but sneeze!

"Damn, who's cursing me behind my back..."

Qin Fang couldn't help but mutter under his breath, his eyes involuntarily scanning the surroundings.

With his current physical condition, he wouldn't be harmed by ordinary cold temperatures. Even if he were stripped naked and thrown into icy snow, as long as he had enough baozi, he would definitely not freeze to death.

Cold couldn't harm Qin Fang's body, yet he suddenly couldn't help but sneeze. Without a doubt, someone was cursing him behind his back.

This made Qin Fang think of the time when he was picking Dragon Tongue Moss on the cliff. It was because of such a sneeze that he lost his grip and fell, nearly losing his life.

Although he survived a great disaster that time, Qin Fang had become quite sensitive to such curses. Whenever someone cursed him, this kind of thing would often happen, and the person cursing him was definitely not too far away.

"How do you know someone's cursing you and not that you've just caught a cold?"

It was nearing January, and the weather was getting colder. Catching a cold was quite normal, so Ning Yumo asked with a chuckle.

"Look at all those evil eyes around us, and you'll know why I say someone's cursing me..."

Qin Fang said jokingly, although what he said was indeed true. Ning Yumo was so affectionately linking her arm with Qin Fang's, which immediately drew many sharp looks from men. If looks could kill, Qin Fang would have been chopped to pieces by now...

"Pfft~~ Look how smug you are!"

Ning Yumo couldn't help but laugh softly. They had actually guessed this would happen before arriving, so it wasn't particularly surprising.

"What can I do? I am Sister Ning's boyfriend, I can't help but be smug..."

Qin Fang immediately puffed out his chest and expressed his pride.

"You're hopeless..."

Ning Yumo couldn't help but throw a charmingly annoyed glance his way, revealing the posture of a perfect woman in an unreserved moment, impressively full-blown, which even made Qin Fang lose himself for a moment.

"I mean... what's going on with you two?"

Seeing Ning Yumo approaching, Cai Qing naturally wouldn't just sit in the corner anymore. She immediately walked over towards them, looking at Qin Fang and Ning Yumo with a puzzled expression and asking in confusion.

If you were to ask who was closer to Ning Yumo, it would naturally be Cai Qing. Even their relationship seemed a bit unnatural, with Cai Qing's feelings for Ning Yumo being notably unusual.

"It's nothing, I just didn't want anyone to bother me, so I brought him over as a shield..."

Ning Yumo smiled. She couldn't hide this from Cai Qing, who knew about her relationship with Qin Fang. Ning Yumo didn't hesitate to reveal the truth, despite having those indescribable feelings for Qin Fang.

"I think you picked the wrong person. This guy, apart from being tall and sturdy, really doesn't have any other highlights... I guess certain people won't give up. Look, speak of the devil... Cao Cao arrives..."

Cai Qing naturally wouldn't miss an opportunity to take a dig at Qin Fang. She soon found others to replace her and immediately pointed cheerfully to one side...
