"I wonder if I have the honour to invite Miss Wei to have breakfast with me?" Tang Yu brought out the perfume roses in front of Zhan Yan.

"Zhan Yan, your boyfriend is here to pick you up. I'll be leaving first, I won't disturb you guys." Qu Qing left tactfully.

Zhan Yan frowned as she looked at Tang Yu and his rose. She opened her mouth and said, "Mr. Tang, you seem to have misunderstood your target."

Tang Yu gave an elegant smile as his expression turned serious, "I'm not mistaken. Wei Zhanyan, from today onwards, I, Tang Yu will officially start chasing after you. Now, let's go have breakfast. "

"I'm sorry, I've already eaten." Zhan Yan rejected indifferently. She was on night duty and breakfast was served to the employees of the hotel the next day.

"But, I haven't eaten yet. Zhan Yan, I have already been standing here waiting for you for more than an hour. Tang Yu covered his abdomen with his hand as if he knew what was going on.

"Mr. Tang, I didn't make you wait for me." Zhan Yan opened her bright eyes, her gaze innocent and cold.

Tang Yu sighed, "Alright, then, I can still send you home right? This is the biggest concession I can make."

"I …" Without waiting for Zhan Yan to reject, Tang Yu had already grabbed her wrist, and directly pushed her into the front passenger seat, the royal blue Jaguar shot out like an arrow.

After they left, a dark green Land Rover slowly drove out from a turn. Inside the Land Rover, Ji Weiyang held onto the steering wheel with one hand and a pair of black eyes surged with powerful whirlpools.

In the days after that, when Zhan Yan got off work, he would see Tang Yu waiting at the entrance of the hotel as expected. Regarding his invitation, Zhan Yan would use all kinds of excuses to lie. When she really couldn't reject it, she would occasionally eat a meal with him. However, her attitude towards him was always lukewarm.

Tang Yu's high-profile pursuit was spread around the hotel, and it was so popular that Zhan Yan could hear women gossiping about it at any time. She was either envious or jealous. But she was always calm, and it was as if she didn't hear him, as if that had nothing to do with her.

On this day, Tang Yu finished his work and waited at the entrance of the hotel as usual. Zhan Yan walked towards him, his arms naturally hanging at his sides, but she did not receive the rose that he had passed over.

"My princess, what do you want to eat today? Western food, Chinese food or Japanese food? " Tang Yu opened the car door for her in an extremely gentlemanly manner.

At some point, 'my princess' had become his name for her.

"Tang Yu, I have an appointment with Du Xiaomo today." Zhan Yan said indifferently.

Tang Yu smiled gently, and said with a tinge of regret, "Alright, next time."

Du Xiaomo and Zhan Yan were having dinner at a newly opened German Western Restaurant. Tang Yu drove her to the entrance of the restaurant and left.

"I heard that the foie gras in this restaurant is pretty good. It's a German chef and tastes very good." Du Xiaomo lowered her head and looked at the menu.

After the dishes were served, the two of them chatted as they ate. But most of the time, it was Du Xiaomo who said that Zhan Yan's role was to listen to the guests.

"Is it hard work these days?"

"Fortunately, I've gotten used to it." Zhan Yan replied indifferently.

"You're really asking for trouble. You're not willing to work at my company, and being a clerk or assistant, which one of them isn't better than being a cleaner?" Du Xiaomo was still complaining.

Zhan Yan smiled warmly and did not reply. She did not need the sympathy and charity of others, even if they were her best friends.

The phone on the table started to vibrate, Zhan Yan lowered her head and looked at the caller ID, and immediately hung up.

"Why not?" Du Xiaomo asked, puzzled.

Zhan Yan raised her eyes and looked at her calmly, "It's Tang Yu."

Du Xiaomo opened her mouth wide in astonishment, there was still a piece of steak in her mouth that she had just stuffed in, and asked vaguely, "He, he couldn't be chasing you right?"

Zhan Yan retracted her gaze and did not say a word, which was the same as admitting it.

Du Xiaomo drank a few mouthfuls of fruit juice. As she was in a rush to drink it, she started to cough non-stop. No wonder why she could call Tang Yu. It was either not answering the phone, or just casually passing it on to him. It was a good thing that the feelings she had for him were not deep. Otherwise, she would really be hurt.

"Xiaomo, don't misunderstand, it's impossible for him and I to be together." Zhan Yan's tone was as calm as water.

However, Du Xiaomo was even more excited than before, and asked with a raised voice. "Why is that impossible? Zhan Yan, you don't have to worry about me, I, Du Xiaomo won't be married off. You must definitely catch a man as good as Tang Yu. "

Zhan Yan laughed bitterly, "Xiaomo, it's not that he's not good enough, but it's because of me." Because she no longer believed in love.

Du Xiaomo slightly sighed, held her ice-cold hand, and said sincerely, "Zhan Yan, not all the men in the world are scoundrels like Ji Weiyang. They can't seal their own hearts just because they have been hurt. After such a long life, are you planning to be alone forever? "

Zhan Yan bit on the juice straw lightly with her teeth, and laughed with a hint of ridicule, "Xiaomo, you will need time to forget."

"Zhan Yan, do you know the best way to forget someone? is to reopen a relationship. " Du Xiaomo clenched her fists and made an encouraging gesture, "Zhan Yan, try to accept Tang Yu. I believe that he will give you happiness."

Zhan Yan laughed but did not speak, she drank her fruit juice with her head lowered, but at a corner that Du Xiaomo could not see, her clear eyes did not have a single trace of light in them. When she left Ji Weiyang, her heart had already been hollowed out.

Elsewhere, in the Nightless City.

Ji Weiyang and Tang Feng sat in a VIP private room with luxurious furnishings. Under the dim light of the extravagant lamp, Tang Feng was hugging a beauty whose clothes were exposed, and on the other side of the room, he was even talking on the phone.

"Darling, I'm still in a meeting. I'll be back with you tonight. Do you miss me? Kiss me... "Un, how obedient."

Ji Weiyang sat alone at the side, holding a transparent goblet in his hands as he drank by himself. New love? "

Tang Feng casually threw his phone to the side and laughed sinisterly: "This Xiang Qing, and so much meaning. The big S is in graduate school, looking at Sven, he's in bed. "

"What? You're tempted?" Ji Weiyang sneered, and lightly sipped the wine in his cup.

Tang Feng scoffed, "I've only applied it for a short time, once I'm tired of it, I'll just send it away with money." After he finished speaking, he lowered his head to look at his watch, "Why isn't that stinking brat Tang Yu here yet?

Ji Weiyang remained silent as he lazily leaned on the leather sofa, the red wine in his cup almost reaching the end.

Not long after, the door to the private room was pushed open, and Tang Yu walked in with a smile. He called out to the people respectfully, "Third Young Master, Big Brother, there's a traffic jam on the road, I'm late."

Tang Feng ignored him and pointed to the alcohol on the table.

"Alright, I'll drink." Tang Yu poured a full cup and downed it in one gulp.

"Brat, you've been gone for five years. I thought you found a demoness in Thailand and you're not planning to return home." Tang Feng laughed and teased.

"The wind has been blowing recently. Thailand has long since stopped. Right now, it's not that easy to bring goods into Burma, Laos. So I had to pack them up and bring them back." Tang Yu said in a light tone, he took out a cigarette from the pack of cigarettes and passed it to Ji Weiyang, then took out a lighter to light him up, and said with an apologetic smile, "Third brother, how about I come back and work with you?"

Ji Weiyang took a deep breath and exhaled the smoke, "Welcome, I'm just right to be your brother's assistant."

Tang Yu nodded his head, but the smile on his face gradually disappeared. In S city, more than half of the ports had Ji Family, so as long as Ji Weiyang nodded, he could easily get some goods from the water route. Just now, he had only probed Ji Weiyang's words, his answer seemed vague, but it was obvious that it was a rejection.

"I'm here to welcome the wind for you, why are you saying all this?" Tang Feng laughed from the side as cold sweat dripped from his palms. Tang Yu was pretty brave, it was not like he didn't know that Ji Weiyang's territory would definitely not allow those things to appear. In the past, when a few elders of Ji's tried to touch him, they were all suppressed by Ji Weiyang.

"Tang Yu, you just came back, it's good to rest for a while. Didn't Mom introduce you to someone to believe in? Then, we'll settle the marriage matter first. " Tang Feng hastily changed the topic.

Tang Yu smiled, and lazily leaned on the sofa, "You're talking about that Du Family's illegitimate daughter? I didn't like it. I already have someone in my heart. "

"Huh?" Who could enter my brother's eyes? Tell me, which famous young mistress's daughter? " Tang Feng smiled and asked, his tone carrying a tinge of surprise.

Tang Yu smiled warmly, his gaze seemed to be sweeping across Ji Weiyang, "She is not some famous young noble woman, and previously married, he is currently working in the cleaning department of the hotel. Brother, you don't know how beautiful she is, he captured me the first time I saw her. "

"I think you're out of your mind." Tang Feng glared at him fiercely. It would be fine to just find a woman who has no money or influence, and she would even get married twice. " Tang Yu, you better rest early. Mom would never allow that kind of woman to enter, don't let me know who she is, or else I will find someone to make her. "

Tang Yu laughed, and ignored Tang Feng. He stared straight at Ji Weiyang, and said word by word, "You must all know her, she is called Wei Zhanyan."

That day, when Tang Yu ordered some people to investigate Zhan Yan's background and he found out that Zhan Yan was Ji Weiyang's ex-wife, he was extremely shocked.

"What?" Tang Feng turned pale with fright, and the wine cup in his hand almost fell to the ground.

In contrast to Tang Feng's shock, Ji Weiyang was extremely indifferent. He gently shook the transparent goblet in his hand, and a few drops of blood red liquid splashed onto the wall of the cup. Then, under the gravity of the earth, the liquid slowly slid down the wall of the cup.

"Tang Yu, you might have left for too long, so you don't understand me anymore, but it doesn't matter, I will give you time to slowly understand." Ji Weiyang's lips curled up into a cold and charming smile. After that, he placed the wine cup on the tea table, got up and gracefully put on his jacket, and prepared to leave.

Tang Yu indeed did not understand Ji Weiyang. Even if it was a woman he did not want, it was not the place for other men to get their hands on. Moreover, Zhan Yan had different meanings for him.

Tang Yu was reckless, but Tang Feng had followed him for many years, so he knew him very well. His face changed, he got up quickly and smiled apologetically, "Weiyang, what are you doing, we are all brothers, don't get separated by such a small matter. Tang Yu is not sensible, I will discipline him well. "

Ji Weiyang laughed, his palm slapped on Tang Feng's shoulder, "What are you so nervous for, I really have something to do, let's meet again next time." With that, he pushed the door open and left.

It was pouring rain again as the dark green Land Rover sped through the rain towards the villa on the mountaintop.

After parking the car in the underground garage, he took out his keys and opened the door. He pressed the keys a few times, but there was no response. Just as he was about to call the nanny, the door was pushed open from the inside. Angie, dressed in a housedress, jumped into his arms. "Weiyang, you're finally back. I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Ji Weiyang was startled for a moment, because he rarely went home, to the extent that he was unable to adapt to the sudden appearance of a 'unfamiliar' woman at home.

He pushed her away without leaving a trace and went into the hall to change his shoes.

"Teacher is back." The nanny greeted respectfully.

Ji Weiyang coldly swept a glance at her, frowned and asked, "Is the door to the house broken? Why can't I open my key? "

"This …" The nanny lowered her head and stammered for a long time.

"Viyan, I got someone to change the lock. My mom said that Qiao Qian changed the lock." Lu Anqi casually told a lie. Actually, what she was thinking was, when Wei Zhanyan left, he did not know whether she had left the key behind. Now she was the mistress.

In Lu Anqi's opinion, changing locks was a small matter, but she did not expect Ji Weiyang to suddenly become angry, "Lu Anqi, are you mistaken? This is my house, what qualifications do you have to change my lock?" He grabbed her arm and angrily demanded, "Where's the original lock? Where did you get it? "

Ji Weiyang very rarely would get so angry, so Lu Anqi was completely frightened, her entire body was trembling non-stop. "Weiyang, let go of me, you're hurting me."

"What about the lock?" He could not help but raise his voice, and looked around, only to see that the wedding photo between him and Zhan Yan that was hung in the hall had been changed, all of the things that belonged to Zhan Yan had disappeared. Ji Weiyang's chest suddenly throbbed with pain.

"It, it was lost." Angie replied in a quavering voice.

"Where did you lose it? "Go and find it for me now." Ji Weiyang pulled her towards the exit. How could Angel follow his footsteps? With a thump, he fell to the ground.

"Weiyang, do you only care about a lock, or Wei Zhanyan? Is she really that important to you? She has already divorced you, and she abandoned you! And I, I am the one who has been with you from beginning to end, Viyan, when will you ever wake up? " Lu Anqi ran out crying.

Ji Weiyang stayed in place for a moment, but after he calmed down, he realized that things were still going on outside.

When he chased after him with the umbrella, he saw Lu Anqi squatting beside the trash can in the garden. The black trash bag was scattered all over the ground and she was squatting on the ground, crying as she rummaged through it with her hands. Those white hands of hers that were playing the piano were now stained with dirt and dirt. She was crying very sorrowfully, and it was hard not to feel a bit of heartache for her.

Ji Weiyang walked over with large strides, and placed the umbrella on top of her head. "Forget it, Angel, there's no need to look for me. "Come back with me." He extended his arms and helped her up, but Lu Anqi pushed him away forcefully, punching him in the chest non-stop with both of his fists.

"Ji Weiyang, how can you treat me like this! You obviously love me, so why did you hurt me like this? " she hissed.

Ji Weiyang held her in his arms and sighed heavily, "Angel, just how many times do you want me to tell you that we're already in the past?"

"No, I don't." Lu Anqi's emotions were getting more and more agitated. "Weiyang, if you don't love me, why did you look for a Wei Zhanyan with eyes and a smile that's similar to mine?"

Ji Weiyang gazed down at her, his pitch-black pupils deeper than the ocean. "Angel, I, Ji Weiyang, am not that shallow. I only love women's appearances. If you must say who is the double, then it is you who are like her and she just happened to appear right after you. "

"No, that's not true, none of it's true …" Lu Anqi cried hysterically, and in the end, fainted in Ji Weiyang's arms.

He carried her back to the villa and told the nanny to bathe and change her clothes. Ji Weiyang rushed into the courtyard alone, and continued to rummage through the replaced locks on the trash cans. Fortunately, he had not taken care of the trash today, so after some effort, he found two pieces of the lock from within the pile of trash. He held them tightly in his hands, as if he was holding a precious treasure.

This place belonged to him and Zhan Yan. If the lock core was changed, then, how was Zhan Yan going to return home?! No one knew that he had actually been waiting for her to return.

When Lu Anqi woke up early the next morning, she had already left. She put on her slippers. The nanny had prepared a sumptuous breakfast.

"Good morning, Miss Lu."

"Morning." Angie sat down at the kitchen table and asked, "Where's Vayon?"

"Mister left in the morning. He said that he had an important meeting tonight and would not return. He told Miss Lu not to wait for him."

"Oh." Lu Anqi replied as a look of disappointment surfaced on her face. Ever since she moved in, Ji Weiyang rarely returned home, and every so often, the two of them would sleep in separate rooms. She wanted to kidnap him, but she never succeeded. On the night that was filled with thunder and lightning a few days ago, she wore a transparent, sexy pajamas and pretended to be afraid before running into his bedroom. Not only was Ji Weiyang not moved, he even called the nanny over to accompany him.

As Lu Anqi was eating in the dining hall, the sound of hammering could be heard from outside. "What's happening outside?" she asked, puzzled.

"Oh, the workers are repairing the locks. Mister Chen specifically instructed me this morning to replace the lock with the original one." The nurse answered truthfully.

"What?" Lu Anqi angrily ran out and came to the front of the door, where she saw two workers changing the locks. What are you doing? " she shouted at the top of her lungs.

The two workers were shocked and quickly smiled apologetically, "Miss Lu, we've already finished changing. We will be leaving now." After they finished talking, they quickly packed their stuff and left.

Lu Anqi came to the side of the door, and used all her strength to kick and punch the exquisite gate. Her eyes were filled with viciousness. Wei Zhanyan, I won't let you off, I definitely won't. "

The morning was the only time Zhan Yan was able to fall asleep. But today, she inexplicably woke up from her sleep, as if she was cursed by something. She was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat.

Zhan Yan shook her head, she secretly laughed at herself for thinking too much. She slipped on her slippers and headed for the bathroom.

After a rare break, she sat by the window reading. She read those thick and dry medical books over and over again. Even though she knew it was futile, she was still unable to let go. It was as if it had already become a habit. It was like being in love with someone, being used to loving, missing, knowing that you shouldn't, yet still being addicted to it.

An urgent ringtone broke the silence in the house, Zhan Yan lowered her head to look at the caller and realised that it was Tang Yu.

"My princess, can you accompany me to dinner today? Of course, you can refuse, but I will always be waiting for you downstairs. "

Zhan Yan pulled open the corner of the curtain and indeed, she saw Tang Yu's Jaguar parked downstairs. He stood tall and straight next to the car, with a handful of perfume and roses still in her hands.

In such a poor district, Tang Yu was simply too eye-catching, and did not attract any attention from the residents.

"Wait for me, I'll be right down." Zhan Yan was helpless as she put on her shoes and headed downstairs.

At this moment, the girl he liked was standing in front of him. She was dressed in casual pants and her hair was combed back in a ponytail. She looked like a beautiful little daisy in her early twenties. However, Tang Yu slightly frowned. It wasn't because she wasn't beautiful enough, but because she couldn't participate in a banquet while wearing this attire.

"Please, my princess." Tang Yu elegantly opened the door and sat Zhan Yan on the first seat.

Originally, Zhan Yan thought that it would just be a simple meal, so she didn't think that Tang Yu would bring her into the boutique. After changing into an evening gown and fixing her hair, when Zhan Yan who was dressed in a low-cut black evening gown appeared in front of him, Tang Yu was almost struck dumb. The woman in front of him was simply the most beautiful woman in the world. No matter how she put on her makeup, she would still have a completely different sort of charm.

"Why are you dressed like this?" Zhan Yan locked the center of her brows lightly, carrying a trace of displeasure.

"There's an important dinner on a luxury cruise tonight, and I'm honored to have you as my female companion." Tang Yu said with a gentle smile.

"There seems to be something missing." As Tang Yu said that, he squatted in front of her. With one hand holding his crystal shoes, and the other hand holding her jade feet, he was actually going to help her put on her shoes.

"No need, I'll do it myself." Zhan Yan subconsciously retreated, she did not like being touched by other men. Yes, other men! Even now, other than Ji Weiyang, no one else could enter her frozen heart.

Tang Yu was not annoyed, he stood up and waited by the side for her to change his shoes. No matter when or where, this man showed a gentle and elegant side.

Under the cover of night, the seaside was covered in bright neon lights, making it seem even more lively than the day.

Tang Yu brought Zhan Yan onto a luxurious ferry. Before this, Zhan Yan had never thought that S City would have such a place. Zhan Yan shuttled back and forth in the cabin as if she was wandering in a world filled with alcohol.

"Never?" Tang Yu smiled warmly as he wrapped her hand around his arm and the two of them walked forward, shoulder to shoulder. There were countless cruise ships like this at the seaside of S City. Some were at nightclubs, some were at casinos, and of course, there were even more high-end hotels and banquet halls on this kind of ship that were used by the upper class … And all of this belongs to one person. "

Zhan Yan opened her eyes wide with curiosity, quietly waiting for his answer. And Tang Yu seemed to be purposely suspending someone's appetite, "I'll explain it to you slowly when I have the time in the future."

Tang Yu led her into the great hall. Elegant light music played by his ear and on the dance floor, men and women were intimately hugging and dancing.

Tang Yu opened his palm in front of her, and bowed slightly, "May I ask if you have the honor of asking my princess to dance?"

Zhan Yan smiled and shook her head, "Sorry, I don't know."

"It's okay, I'll teach you." Without waiting for her to reject, Tang Yu had already grabbed her small hand and pulled her into the dance floor.

The truth proved that Zhan Yan did not have the talent for dancing. With just a dance song, she almost broke Tang Yu's leather shoes.

"I-I'm going to the washroom." After the song ended, Zhan Yan somewhat awkwardly found a reason to leave.

Tang Yu smiled warmly and nodded, but did not expose him. His gaze followed her frail back.

The cruiser was huge, and Zhan Yan followed the guidance of a waiter as she passed through a long and narrow passage. The more she walked, the more quiet she became, and the dimmer the lights became.

She slowed down her pace and walked forward with a bit of suspicion. Her crystal high heels didn't make the slightest sound as they stepped on the soft camel blanket. Faintly hearing the voices of people in front of him, Zhan Yan subconsciously walked toward the source of the voice.

Through the half-opened door, Zhan Yan saw a few black clothed men pressing a middle-aged man down to the ground within the dim light. That middle-aged man was wearing a high-end suit, but he was currently in an exceptionally miserable state.

A man was lazily leaning against a leather sofa at the side. The dim yellow light shone on his handsome face and made him faint, but his eyes emitted a cruel cold light. Although he was sitting, his gaze gave off a domineering pressure, causing people to shiver.

The middle-aged man's face was pressed under the man's feet. His hand was wearing a pair of snow-white gloves, and the gun in his hand seemed to have carelessly rubbed against the man's hair before pressing the hole in the wall against his temple.

"Third young master, third young master, please spare my life. I was possessed by a ghost. Your excellency doesn't remember this lowly person. Please spare my life." The middle-aged man trembled in fear as he wailed and begged for mercy.

The man's lips curved up in a devilish cold smile. He used his clean and slender fingers to pull the trigger, and after a light cracking sound, the man from South Central Region cried out miserably. His body straightened up, and a patch of water covered his body.

Outside the door, Zhan Yan's body was hidden in the shadows, and even her breathing had almost stopped. However, there was no bloodshed or death as she had imagined. The man's gun actually had no bullets in it.

"Truly a fucking coward." The bodyguard in black beside him gave him a powerful kick. It turned out that the middle-aged man was scared to the point of wetting his pants.

"Boss, how should we punish him?" The bodyguard in black looked at the man on the sofa and saw him bend down and whisper in the middle-aged man's ear, "Xue Lao Er, you know my place doesn't allow those dirty things to appear. If you have the guts to do it, then you should have the guts to bear the consequences."

His voice was extremely low, yet it contained a coldness like ice and snow. With just a few words, it could pierce through a person's heart. The middle-aged man widened his eyes in fright. This time, he couldn't even cry out for mercy.

"Boss, we might as well just kill him, this scum." The black clothed bodyguard said angrily.

The man leaned back on the sofa with lazy eyes. He lit a cigarette and took a few puffs in satisfaction. "Forget it. Just follow the old rules. Don't let his blood dirty my boat."

"Yes." A few black clothed bodyguards pulled the middle-aged man aside. One of them raised his blade and cut off three of the middle-aged man's fingers. What made people feel even more disgusted was that the black clothed bodyguard picked up the three fingers on the ground and stuffed them into the middle-aged man's mouth.

The middle-aged man kept twisting his body to resist, but he was pressed down to the ground. He couldn't even cry out loud. He could only whimper as a strong stench of blood gradually spread throughout the room.

Outside, Zhan Yan could not watch any longer, and felt a wave of nausea. She staggered a step and was about to flee when a thick palm suddenly covered her mouth and nose.
