She was sitting directly opposite the coffee shop's entrance, where the wind chimes tinkled merrily. Lifting her head, she saw Zeng Wei, dressed in casual attire, stepping into the coffee shop. After being together for such a long time, her heart still skipped a beat at the sight of Zeng Wei's face. 'Have you been waiting long?' Zeng Wei flashed a smile and affectionately draped an arm around Gu Yanfei's shoulders, 'Why did it take you so long? I was worried sick.' As usual, Zeng Wei was sweet-talking Gu Yanfei, who, while nestled in his embrace, enjoyed it all but couldn't help but struggle internally. In the end, the scales tipped towards Lu Qichen. She reached out to pry off Zeng Wei's arm that was around her neck and said with a stern face, 'Sit down, I have something to tell you.' 'What's wrong with you?' He thought Gu Yanfei, the young lady who rarely left her home, was the easiest to deceive. He never expected that after just a trip home, all his previous efforts would be in vain, 'Baby, let's talk about it later. I've missed you so much while you were away...' His warm breath sprayed behind Gu Yanfei's ear, the innuendo in his words unmistakable. Gu Yanfei, unusually unswayed, sat up straight and even moved a little farther from Zeng Wei, 'Zeng Wei, don't be like this.' She took a sip of coffee and continued, 'I came to see you today because I want to tell you that we're not suitable for each other. Let's break up.' 'Not suitable?' Zeng Wei was taken aback. He then realized why Gu Yanfei was so different today; she was thinking of breaking up with him, 'What do you mean by that?'

"Gu Yanfei, we've been together for such a long time, and suddenly you want to break up with me without any reason. If you don't give me a valid explanation, I will never agree," Zeng Wei said.

"Incompatible is incompatible, what more reasons do you need?" Gu Yanfei replied impatiently.

Zeng Wei glared fiercely at Gu Yanfei in front of him.

Before meeting Gu Yanfei, he was just a young master in a bar, but later he "reformed himself." After all, serving Gu Yanfei alone was much less troublesome than serving a group of rich women. Moreover, Gu Yanfei was very generous, and he had almost forgotten his shameful past during these days.

So when he learned that Gu Yanfei was going to get married, he spared no effort to instigate her to elope. He even began to think about how comfortable life would be if he married Gu Yanfei in the future.

His beautiful dream was in full swing when Gu Yanfei told him that she wanted to break up. How could this be possible?

"Are you playing with me?" Zeng Wei shed his false tenderness and glared fiercely at Gu Yanfei.

"Don't put it so unpleasantly. Weren't we together because of mutual consent? Besides, we've been together for such a long time, haven't you gained anything either?"

When loving you, you are wonderful in every way.

When not loving you, you are worthless trash.

This is how Gu Yanfei now sees Zeng Wei.

"Zeng Wei, after all, we've been together for such a long time, and the money I've spent on you is not a small amount. Rest assured, I won't ask for it back. Let's part on good terms," Gu Yanfei stood up, "From now on, we have nothing to do with each other, please do not disturb me again."

"Stop!" Gu Yanzhi turned to leave, but Zeng Wei grabbed her wrist, "You think it's that easy to break up with me? We need to settle the breakup fee, compensation for my youth, and the cost of my diligent service to you these past days, don't we?" At this moment, who cared about playing any tender roles; they had torn off their masks, "Miss Gu is not short of money, give me one million, and we can part on good terms." "You..." Gu Yanzhi looked at Zeng Wei in front of her in shock, her former lover now resembling a monstrous beast with sharp teeth and claws, ready to swallow her whole with every word, "Zeng Wei, how can you be so shameless..." Gu Yanzhi could not believe that her once compliant lover could be so... repulsive when the facade was stripped away. When she first learned about her marriage arrangement with Lu Qichen, she was very reluctant. So she and Zeng Wei hit it off, packed their things, and ran away overnight, but within a few days, they were out of money. It was then that she realized that poverty brings sorrow to even the closest of couples. She was raised with a silver spoon in her mouth; how could she possibly endure such hardship? Zeng Wei brought her sweet talk and joy, and she had spent all her savings on him, but she never imagined that he would now ask her for one million. "What's there to be ashamed of?" Zeng Wei lit a cigarette, his eyes filled with unfamiliarity as he looked at Gu Yanzhi, "I might as well tell you the truth, I used to work in that bar, and since you chose me, these past days I've been accompanying you instead of working, how am I supposed to live? Since you've consumed, there's no reason not to pay, right?" "What are you saying?"

Gu Yanfei was frozen as if struck by lightning, unable to move. She had actually harbored the delusion of discussing feelings with a man who worked as a gigolo? It was simply laughable. "Miss Gu, it's just one million. Whenever you can come up with the money, that's when we'll break up," Zeng Wei extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand, and when he looked up again, there was tenderness and affection in his eyes, "Actually, I really don't want to part with you. You're so beautiful and generous, a client like you is truly rare. If you really can't come up with the money, it's okay, we don't have to break up." Zeng Wei clung to Gu Yanfei shamelessly, reaching out to pat her, "Freedom or money, Miss Gu, you choose." The Zeng Wei in front of her was completely unrecognizable, and she suddenly thought of Lu Qichen, her resentment towards Ye Zhiqiu inevitably growing. "Fine, I agree," Gu Yanfei said through gritted teeth, "But I don't have that much money now. Tomorrow at ten in the morning, let's meet here again, and I'll give you the money then." "So... see you tomorrow?" Gu Yanfei walked down the street in a daze, and before she knew it, she had arrived at the grand entrance of Xiangyu. Looking at the majestic office building, she secretly vowed to herself that she must become the mistress of this place. Meanwhile, Lu Qichen brought Ye Zhiqiu to a secret place, and when they stood at the door, Ye Zhiqiu was stunned, "Didn't you say we were going to the company? Why are we here?"
