Chapter 3: I'll See Whose Screams Are Louder

Wen Ling stood at the doorway, raised her hand, and waved at the two of them, greeting them, "Hi, long time no see."

Hearing this familiar voice, Zhou Yinhe suddenly straightened up, looking at the person standing at the door in disbelief.

Qi Zhan had always been hot-tempered; he stood up and prepared to stomp toward the door in a rage, but was blocked by Jiang Jibai.

"Why are you stopping me? I never used to hit women, but today I'm making an exception!"

"Can you look at Xiao Wu's expression? Does this look like someone who still loves you? You're actually planning to beat up Wen Ling? Aren't you afraid Xiao Wu will turn against you?" Jiang Jibai advised, tilting his chin toward Zhou Yinhe to signal him to look.

When Qi Zhan looked, his eyes nearly rolled into the back of his head; he couldn't bear to watch.

Wen Ling didn't mind their dissatisfaction with her. She extended a slender finger and pointed toward the man still sitting on the sofa, saying, "I'm looking for him."

Zhou Yinhe's brow furrowed deeply. He turned his face away and said sharply, "What are you doing here?"

Wen Ling walked over, her few steps exuding a sense of charm and grace. She bypassed Qi Zhan, who was still glaring at her fiercely, and sat down beside Zhou Yinhe, saying coquettishly, "I just got back and heard it was fun here. Knowing you were here, I came over to say hello. I'm not disturbing you, am I?"

Zhou Yinhe grabbed the beautiful girl standing close by, pulling her in front of him. With a slight upward curve of his eyes, he looked at Wen Ling. "You are disturbing us."

Wen Ling blinked, her eyes curving into a smile as she said, "That's okay, I can keep you company along with her. I don't mind."

Zhou Yinhe stood up, looking down at Wen Ling in disbelief. "Say that again?"

Wen Ling crossed her legs and rested her chin on one hand, looking directly at him. Without changing her expression, she repeated, "I said, I can keep you company along with her."

Zhou Yinhe suddenly let out a sneer. He pulled the beautiful girl up, placing his hand on her waist, and said sarcastically, "I wouldn't dare let the Great Miss Wen keep me company. I have Yan Yan, and that's enough."

Yan Yan: My name is Ningning...

But she didn't dare say it. She could see that Zhou Yinhe was intentionally trying to anger the bright and flamboyant girl in front of him. However, having finally managed to get close to this precious young master of the Zhou family, she happily pressed closer, hugged Zhou Yinhe's waist, and said softly, "Fifth Young Master, let's go. Yan Yan has already opened a room at the hotel next door."

Zhou Yinhe glanced at Wen Ling and left, holding Yan Yan.

Wen Ling tried to soothe the ache rising in her chest. How could she not know that Zhou Yinhe was doing this on purpose to anger her? Even if he really wanted to find someone, he wouldn't just grab anyone at random, yet her heart still couldn't control the feeling of distress.

Seeing the two leave, Qi Zhan mocked, "Do you really think he can't live without you? Without you, there's still Ruan Miaomiao, and countless other girls lining up. He forgot about you long ago."

Wen Ling shot him a glance. As she stood up, she suddenly let out a laugh, delivering a soft but sharp blow: "Has Great Young Master Qi managed to chase down Zhao Xingtang yet?"

"You!" Qi Zhan was indeed provoked by her. Just as he was about to step forward, he was stopped by Jiang Jibai again.

Jiang Jibai warned Wen Ling coldly, "Miss Wen, I don't know what you intend to do by coming back this time, but please stay away from Xiao Wu. Otherwise, neither the Zhou family nor us will let you off."

Wen Ling curled her lips, turned, and chased after Zhou Yinhe, leaving behind a Qi Zhan whose hair was practically standing on end with rage and a Jiang Jibai who was watching her like a venomous snake.

Zhou Yinhe held Yan Yan as they walked to the bar entrance. He wanted to let go but feared Wen Ling might catch up, so he had no choice but to keep his hand on Yan Yan's waist.

Yan Yan smiled with particular abandon, returning triumphant smiles to her female friends who were watching.

Sure enough, Wen Ling quickly caught up and reached out to block Zhou Yinhe's path.

"Zhou Yinhe! You can't act like this with someone else just because you want to spite me!"

Zhou Yinhe had already calmed his racing heartbeat. He looked at her with a curled lip and a smile.

"What I want to do with others is none of your business, Great Miss Wen."

Wen Ling pursed her lips, took a step forward, and softened her tone, "Zhou Yinhe, let's have a proper talk, okay?"

Zhou Yinhe refused outright. "I have nothing to talk about with you. Wen Ling, I told you back then that after we broke up, I would never be with you again. You were the one who said you had no regrets."

Wen Ling cursed the author in her heart, but on the surface, she looked aggrieved. "I had my reasons back then, I just couldn't tell you."

Zhou Yinhe simply took it as her making excuses and walked away with Yan Yan.

Wen Ling chased after him again, standing behind him and saying stubbornly, "Zhou Yinhe, if you dare go to a hotel with her today, I'll go grab a man off the street and go too! I'll book a room right next to yours, and we'll see whose screams are louder!"

Hearing this, Zhou Yinhe's footsteps faltered. He tossed back a casual remark: "Suit yourself."

Wen Ling's mouth pouted, and her eyes turned red. She looked at his retreating back with grievance. Her bodyguard quickly stepped forward to comfort her: "Miss, don't be sad. He must be doing this on purpose to anger you."

"You! Go follow him! Whichever hotel he wants to go to, book up every single room in that hotel!"

The bodyguard she designated wanted to ask a question: *What if the Fifth Young Master of the Lu family takes a woman home? Can I buy out his entire house too?*

But seeing his Miss's pitiful expression, he could only agree repeatedly. "Alright, alright, alright. I'll go right now."

The gazes of the others were full of sympathy. He glared at them and ran after Zhou Yinhe.

As Zhou Yinhe led Yan Yan away, he turned back to look for Wen Ling's figure, but instead saw the bodyguard who had just been with her.

His face darkened. He stood in front of the bodyguard and warned, "Get lost."

The bodyguard lowered his eyes and stood motionless. Zhou Yinhe was laughed out of anger and paced a few steps with his hands on his hips.

His own bodyguard caught up at the right time. Seeing that their Fifth Young Master was extremely agitated, they didn't need to be told; they immediately grabbed Wen Ling's bodyguard and pulled him away.

As they walked, they whispered suggestions: "Go back, or stay out for the night. Tomorrow, you can just brush your Miss off however you like."

Seeing that no one was around, Yan Yan boldly stepped forward to link arms with Zhou Yinhe, only to be violently shaken off.

"What are you doing?" His tone was very unfriendly.

Yan Yan said innocently, "Fifth Young Master, didn't you bring me out? I thought you wanted to..."

Zhou Yinhe looked at her with disgust. Finally, he pulled his phone out of his pocket. "Scan the code. Take the money and get out of here immediately."
