Top Grade Immortal Emperor in the Flower City

Hearing Ye Wudao's words, Ye Ling was startled and immediately turned around to see Liu Zitong running toward them.

"Hey, I think this store looks good. We'll wait for you here, so make it quick."

Ye Wudao pointed to a 24-hour hotpot restaurant nearby, while a disgruntled Mo Xing frowned and said, "Damn, have you ever seen an uncle cover for his brother-in-law like this?"

"Me, I'm just a masochist. I guess I'm the only one in the world like this. If my uncle and my father found out, they'd probably break my legs."

Having said that, he still followed Ye Wudao into the hotpot restaurant. There was no other way but to do it.

"Don't go!"

Liu Zitong caught up with Ye Ling, panting, and he stopped, looked at her, and smiled slightly, "Is there something you need?"

"Shall we take a walk?"

Liu Zitong took a deep breath, regained her composure, still exuding that strong, cold presence. Ye Ling nodded in agreement.

The two of them walked together, and it was almost the Chinese New Year, so it was very cold. Liu Zitong wasn't dressed warmly and soon started shivering from the cold.

Ye Ling shook his head, smiled faintly, and draped his own jacket over Liu Zitong.

They just so happened to walk to a quiet lane, and as Liu Zitong felt the warmth of the jacket on her, she looked up into Ye Ling's eyes, filled with tenderness.

"If I said I'm willing to be your woman, would you refuse?"

Liu Zitong suddenly blurted out, leaving Ye Ling stunned, hardly able to respond, but Liu Zitong added, "Yes, I don't have the wealth that your other women do."

"But believe me, I can do better than them. Choose me, let them go. I'll be your woman, and my BenSe Group will be yours, Ye Ling!"

After Liu Zitong finished speaking, Ye Ling couldn't help but laugh. This woman had been dominating the business world for so many years; how could she be a bit naive now?

"If I agreed to you, wouldn't you think I'm a man who is fickle and abandons love for new excitement? Wouldn't you have any sense of security with someone like that?"

"Moreover, money isn't the measure of love. They are my women, but I never interfere with their money."

"More importantly, do you think I would give up a dozen of my women for just one of you?"

Ye Ling smiled slightly, while Liu Zitong was stunned. A dozen women, how could that be possible? She couldn't even believe it, and she swore she had never heard of such a thing in her life.

"Ye Ling! Do you think I'm talking nonsense? Fine, I'll tell you, everything I've said is from the bottom of my heart."

"I once had a man I cared deeply about. I thought he loved me, but it ended in tragedy. Because of him, my stock holdings fell, and I lost billions."

"I have no regrets, for it was my choice, and as an adult, I'm responsible for the consequences of my decisions."

"But do you know? I went to the Southern Border because there was a question in my heart I couldn't answer, and that is, why, after all I've given, you still deceived me!"

"Yes, I admit I'm naive. I admit that nowadays society doesn't let you do whatever you want."

"I met you, and I don't believe in love at first sight, but since that day, you've been on my mind, impossible to shake off."

"I didn't know about your background, but I am still willing to be the woman behind you."

"I want to believe that you won't hurt me again. This isn't just a moment of impulse. I trust my intuition, and it tells me you're trustworthy!"

"And most importantly, you make my heart flutter!"

Ye Ling listened to all this and didn't know what to say, slightly stunned, he took a deep breath, "Liu Zitong, you have to understand, we are not children, we are adults."

"What you just said I admit, but you must know, I'm fickle, and perhaps later on, I might not appear in this world anymore. I don't want to hurt you, just as you said, I don't want to harm women."

After finishing speaking, Ye Ling took a deep breath, "You are a good woman, keep it up, I believe you can find a man you love, the prince charming in your heart."

Tears fell drop by drop from Liu Zitong's pearl-like eyes, looking pitiful to the extreme.

"Goodbye."

Ye Ling smiled and then turned to leave while Liu Zitong suddenly squatted down, overwhelmed with powerless agony, the scene cruel.

But just then, suddenly, in front of Ye Ling, a dozen people dressed in black appeared, each with a ferocious look, their faces filled with murderous intent.

"Tsk tsk, what a lovely couple, I almost can't bear to make my move."

"It's just such a pity, since I've taken the money, I must do the job, otherwise, my reputation would be trashed."

The lead man in black sneered, and Liu Zitong on the ground was stunned for a moment, quickly got up, and ran to stand in front of Ye Ling, stretching out her arms, "Who on earth are you guys!"

"Who are we? My dear Miss Liu, given my profession, I'm afraid I can't answer your question," the man in black replied, shaking his head, his eyes suddenly filled with a strange glint, "Of course, I do pity you, I think in a while, you'll get to enjoy the gentle embrace of yours truly, haha!"

"I think you should tell her, don't you?"

Ye Ling smiled faintly. Just as the man in black was about to curse loudly, all of a sudden, he felt the world spinning around him, an uncontrollable terror rising within him.

"It was Wang Jiahao who gave me a million to kill you. Once you're dead, he has the means to take away your shares," the man in black revealed, stunning Liu Zitong. Wang Jiahao was her closest business partner, and now he had turned against her with a pointed blade!

However, Liu Zitong was not too heartbroken, having struggled and floated in the business world for so long, she had seen too much already.

"Be careful yourself, I believe you have ways to resolve this crisis."

Ye Ling nodded at Liu Zitong and then, with a wave of his hand, the dozen men in black standing in front of him shook in their chests, blood mist exploded, and they fell to the ground, lifeless.

"I will take care of these people, keep yourself safe."

With these words, Ye Ling slowly disappeared into the street, and Liu Zitong felt her heart seize, tears uncontrollably sliding down from her eyes.

Such pain, such a painful feeling.

Liu Zitong almost choked up, gritted her teeth, and disappeared in the opposite direction to Ye Ling.

Sometimes, in life, cruelty or failure is indispensable; endlessly smooth sailing may well be the most fatal blow.

The ending for Liu Zitong now is very normal, very realistic.

Inside the hotpot restaurant, Ye Ling sat down beside two guys, curling his lips, "You just had to stick with me, but I managed to hold on."

"Pah, blowing your own trumpet to the skies," one of them retorted.

Both of them laughed heartily, though they were well aware of the truth.
