Chapter 67

Chapter 68: Heart Trembling

Zhao Heng!

At this moment, Zhao Heng had already recognized the woman in front of him. She was the woman in the trench coat he had passed by in the hospital, Ye Shishi, one of the three major tycoons in Huanghai. He also saw the black-clad woman following closely behind. Although Yan Ruyu was also a beautiful woman, her charm and demeanor paled in comparison to Ye Shishi's.

Ye Shishi approached with a light smile, "Shishi greets everyone."

She leaned forward slightly, exuding charm and allure!

She glanced at Zhao Heng, who was looking at her with a playful expression. His bright, star-like eyes exuded a sense of grandeur, and the half-smile on his lips seemed to stir something deep within her, a ripple in her heart that she thought had long been numb to the world.

Unable to look away, their eyes met, and time seemed to freeze. In everyone's eyes, Ye Shishi suddenly became even more radiant, and the world seemed to come alive because of her beauty. No words could describe her allure at that moment.

The room was illuminated by her presence, and nothing could be more fitting!

But this beauty was fleeting. As a hint of melancholy appeared in Ye Shishi's eyes, the rare radiance quickly faded. She, a woman who had long given up on love, wondered why she felt moved by Zhao Heng. Could it be the instant attraction Master Mingyue had spoken of?

Her eyes returned to a calm, deep pool, hiding emotions beneath the surface.

Zhao Heng's mind raced as well. The initial shock of their first meeting resurfaced, but what made his heart, as strong as steel, waver for a moment was not her radiance, but the fleeting melancholy in her eyes.

It revealed a deep, almost desperate loneliness and sorrow, making him want to comfort and cherish her. Zhao Heng suddenly felt an urge to embrace Ye Shishi, not out of desire, but a pure, protective instinct. However, he quickly dismissed the thought, his years of cultivation keeping him rational.

Ye Shishi, indeed, lived up to her name—a woman who was alluring to the core.

As Zhao Heng marveled at Ye Shishi's charm, Du Tianxiong placed his empty teacup on the table and glanced at Ye Shishi and the others. "Sister Ye, you're too polite. I, Du Tianxiong, welcome you anytime, especially since this is the First Floor's territory. It's only natural for you to visit."

"Ye Shishi, you're getting better at seducing men," Zhang Xiaolin said, rubbing his large head and smiling genuinely. He looked at Ye Shishi's legs, "I can hardly resist you right here. If you keep this up, I, Zhang Xiaolin, will find it hard not to make a mistake. Don't castrate me then, because it's all your fault for being so beautiful."

He leered at Ye Shishi, swallowing loudly, "Why don't you stop working and just be with me? If you agree, I'll divorce my wife immediately and even give you a deputy leader position. Sister Ye, are you interested?"

"I've had my eye on you for a long time. I even look at your photos when I'm with other women."

He flattered Ye Shishi with crude words, revealing his base thoughts. Zhao Heng knew that if Ye Shishi really agreed to be Zhang Xiaolin's third, Zhang Xiaolin would not hesitate to divorce his wife. This insight into Zhang Xiaolin's true nature and arrogance was not lost on Zhao Heng.

"Sister Ye, you flatter me," Ye Shishi said with a bewitching smile, "What have I done to deserve such an honor? If you really want to ravage me, just like before, if you can pay a billion, I'll undress and let you have your way with me."

Her tone was playful, but it carried a coldness that put men on edge.

Zhang Xiaolin laughed, "Just a joke, Sister Ye, don't be angry."

The Qing Gang certainly had a billion, but for Zhang Xiaolin to spend a billion on a woman would be sheer madness. Even a British princess or a president's wife wouldn't be worth that much. Despite Ye Shishi's allure, the billion-dollar price tag dissuaded Zhang Xiaolin.

"Sister Ye, what brings you here?"

Du Tianxiong refilled his teacup, his calm demeanor earning Zhao Heng's admiration. Since Ye Shishi and the others entered, most people's attention was on her, but Du Tianxiong remained composed and quickly addressed the key issue after a brief exchange.

"Boss Du, I didn't mean to disturb you and Brother Zhang," Ye Shishi said with a bright smile, then pointed at Zhao Heng, "But this brother has done me a favor. He saved Principal Ye's life in the park. When I heard he was in trouble today, I came to help him. I hope Brother Zhang can show some leniency for my sake."

"Can I have half of that ten pounds of wine?"

Ye Shishi glanced at Zhao Heng, but he wasn't staring at her, and there was no trace of lust in his eyes. A ripple of surprise crossed her face, though it was fleeting. This man was indeed extraordinary, unaffected by her beauty.

In all of Huanghai, only Du Tianxiong and Zhao Heng possessed such self-control.

"Half of the wine?"

Du Tianxiong clapped lightly, a smile on his face, "Sister Ye, you're indeed fair. But I'm just a mediator. Whether Brother Zhang forgives Zhao Heng or gives you half the wine depends on his mood and decision. My goal is simple: to restore peace in Huanghai."

"Do you want to drink the wine?"

Zhang Xiaolin chuckled, "Then I want to have you for free. Deal?"

As Du Tianxiong's gaze sharpened and Ye Shishi's face turned cold, Zhang Xiaolin shifted the topic, "The ten pounds of wine is between Zhao Heng and me. It's not proper for you to intervene. If you want to repay Zhao Heng, you can do it in other ways, even offering yourself isn't a problem."

"But the ten pounds of wine... no one can share it."

A sinister smile appeared on his lips as he tapped the jar of sorghum wine, "If it's shared, it means the grudge can be shared. If you drink half, it means the Qing Gang still has half a grudge with Zhao Heng. Future conflicts will continue, Sister Ye, you'd be ruining Boss Du's good intentions."

Ye Shishi smiled, "It seems my face isn't worth much anymore."

She stepped closer to Zhao Heng, a sweet fragrance filling his nose. Her legs crossed in a seductive curve, and without waiting for a reaction, she wrapped her arm around him, her voice soft, "Zhang Xiaolin, what if I insist on sharing the wine? What if I insist on protecting Zhao Heng?"

"Thank you," Zhao Heng whispered.

Ye Shishi's gaze softened as it fell on Zhao Heng, bewitching and alluring. In fact, during her conversation with the two men, her attention had been on this young man, trying to gauge his depth. Her first impression: young. Second impression: clean. Third impression: calm.

Zhao Heng was like an experienced hunter, showing no emotional fluctuations, not even when she was close to him. He handled the situation with composure, as if in control of the entire room. This level of maturity was expected from Du Tianxiong, but it was unusual for Zhao Heng.

Ye Shishi admired this, so she directly pressured Zhang Xiaolin.

"Brother Zhang, I won't let you touch Zhao Heng."

Ye Shishi pressed her body against Zhao Heng, looking like she was offering herself. With her by his side, Zhao Heng felt her warmth and considered whether he should speak up. But Zhang Xiaolin sneered, "Then what's the point of talking? Let's just fight."

"Let's see if the Qing Gang's men are stronger or if the First Floor's women are more seductive."

Zhao Heng glanced at the woman beside him, wondering why she was supporting him. Was it really because he saved Principal Ye? Zhao Heng didn't believe it. Ye Shishi, one of the three major tycoons in Huanghai, who could stand on equal footing with Du Tianxiong and Zhang Xiaolin, was not someone who acted on impulse.

Ye Shishi had other motives!

Zhao Heng had this thought, but regardless, Ye Shishi was a friend at this moment.

Ye Shishi's charm faded, and she became cold and composed, "The First Floor is never afraid of a fight!"
