Chapter 345: Chapter 345: Entanglement

"Don’t refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit. The fact that I fancy you is your good fortune, what right do you have to refuse?" Xu Jiahui said unhappily.

"Moreover, in what way am I not as good as your wife? I’m young, I have both talent and looks, and I’m rich. Why don’t you like me? How can you reject me?" Xu Jiahui was both indignant and puzzled.

"The people who pursue me all come from prominent families, so the fact that I fancy you is your good fortune. Besides, I never asked you to divorce and marry me, I just want to be your lover. Don’t all men like the idea of having a wife at home and lovers outside? I can give you that life. As long as your wife doesn’t compete with me for you, I won’t bother her. Isn’t that a great deal? What reason do you have to refuse?" Xu Jiahui said, angry and confused.

She couldn’t understand why anyone would dare to refuse someone as alluring as herself; it was truly against all reason.

"I only love my wife. I’m not interested in anyone else, not even if you’re a celestial being descended from heaven." Xu Ke said firmly, standing his ground.

Even as Xu Jiahui lowered her clothes in front of him, revealing her upper body entirely, Xu Ke’s gaze remained unwavering from beginning to end.

"If you have nothing else to say, then have your men step aside. I’m in a good mood today and don’t want to hurt anyone," Xu Ke said coldly.

"You’ve done all this and you still don’t move me a bit. You’re truly the most unique person I’ve ever met." Xu Jiahui said as she put her just discarded strap back on and adjusted her clothes.

"I won’t give up on you. What I want, I must have. Even if you don’t feel anything for me now, one day you’ll come to like me." Xu Jiahui walked up to Xu Ke, the scent of hyacinth filling the air.

"Let him go," Xu Jiahui ordered, her almond-shaped eyes fixed on Xu Ke, seeing her reflection in his pupils gave her a strange sense of satisfaction.

The two people standing by the door silently stepped aside upon hearing Xu Jiahui’s command.

Xu Ke gave Xu Jiahui a cold glance, passed between the two bodyguards, and left without looking back.

"What a heartless man, he didn’t even look back. But what can I do? I find him so handsome like this, I think I might really like him," Xu Jiahui said, holding her flushed cheeks, her eyes filled with a watery tenderness that made her all the more captivating.

"Miss, could it be that you’ve really fallen for him?" The paler bodyguard looked at Xu Jiahui with a complicated expression, his eyes revealing infatuation and struggle, his rational mind constantly reminding him to stay away from this woman who was beyond his reach, yet he couldn’t stop himself from focusing on her, longing to possess her heart alone.

Upon hearing the bodyguard’s words, the tenderness in Xu Jiahui’s eyes vanished instantly. Her gaze towards the bodyguard was so cold it could almost take form. "My affairs are none of your business. Know your place and mind your own business," she said.

"Yes, I’ve overstepped," the bodyguard immediately lowered his head, unable to conceal his desolation.

"Keep an eye on his every move from now on. I want you to report his movements to me at all times. I’ll make him fall at my feet. After all, no man can resist my charm, wouldn’t you agree?" Xu Jiahui said softly, holding A Gu’s chin.

"Yes, no one can resist your beauty, he will surely be yours," A Gu replied firmly.

"I like listening to you. I hope you learn from A Gu," Xu Jiahui said with a cold glance at the paler bodyguard before walking out of the room first.

"You shouldn’t have feelings for her," A Gu quietly said as he patted his companion on the shoulder.

Having been by Xu Jiahui’s side for so many years, A Gu knew all too well what kind of person she was—a socialite who never turned away suitable men and lived wildly. Falling in love with her was pure hardship.

A Gu was open-minded, but his companion had not yet figured this out, as his eyes couldn’t hide his sadness.

Xu Ke didn’t take Xu Jiahui’s words to heart. He even forgot about her after a night’s sleep, only for the butler to mention a red supercar parked outside the estate while he was eating.

Xu Ke paused in his eating.

"What? Is it someone you know? Should we invite them in for dinner?" Lin Mengyao asked softly.

"No need, just a crazy woman," Xu Ke said, frowning slightly.

"Crazy woman? Who?" Lin Mengyao paused her eating, a hint of jealousy in her voice that she herself didn’t notice.

Xu Ke sensitively picked up on Lin Mengyao’s jealousy, and the annoyance that had just arisen in his heart vanished into thin air. He even secretly hoped she would show up every morning so he could see Lin Mengyao getting jealous every day, wouldn’t that be delightful?

But this thought only lingered for a moment before Xu Ke dismissed it. If she really showed up every morning, it wouldn’t be just about jealousy. Xu Ke sighed with resignation in his heart.

Seeing Xu Ke still hadn’t answered her question, the smile on Lin Mengyao’s face gradually faded, "Why won’t you answer my question?" Lin Mengyao put down her chopsticks and stared at Xu Ke with a serious expression.

"I was just thinking about some company matters, not intentionally ignoring you." Xu Ke reached out to hold Lin Mengyao’s hand on the dining table and said softly, "The woman is the one we ran into at the mall a few days ago. She confessed to me yesterday and I turned her down. She’s probably here because she hasn’t given up, but don’t worry, I won’t give her any opportunity. After ignoring her a few more days, she’ll probably give up."

"I remember she’s quite pretty. Are you sure you don’t feel anything at all?" Lin Mengyao asked, looking into Xu Ke’s eyes.

"Of course I don’t like her. Besides, what does her beauty have to do with me? I already have a wife, and my wife is more beautiful than any woman in the world. In my heart, she’s the most beautiful woman in the world. With the most beautiful wife by my side, how could any other woman catch my eye?" Xu Ke said with determined eyes.

Xu Ke’s resolute gaze successfully calmed the wavering heart of Lin Mengyao, even making her unable to resist the smile that reappeared on her face.

"Then remember what you said today. If I find out you’ve gone back on your word, I won’t let you off." Lin Mengyao said, with equally determined eyes, locking eyes with Xu Ke.

The two of them looked at each other, each knowing the other meant every word.

"Mm." Under Lin Mengyao’s watchful gaze, Xu Ke nodded.
