"Fei Long, do you like me?" Xu Fei asked nervously.
"I do," Yang Fei Long replied.
"Then why were you ignoring me before?" Xu Fei asked with a hint of resentment.
Yang Fei Long really wanted to say, "Because I didn't like you before. Now that you've given yourself to me, I have to make myself like you." Well, not just like you, but truly like you.
"I see, you still don't like me," Xu Fei said sadly. "But I'll work hard to make you like me soon."
"I do like you, just not as much as before. But from now on, I'll make myself like you more," Yang Fei Long sighed. Without last night's events, his feelings for Xu Fei were complicated. Better than friends, but not quite lovers.
"Was it because I always used to argue with you?" Xu Fei tilted her head, looking at Yang Fei Long.
"Didn't I tell you before that I have too many girlfriends? I can barely manage them all," Yang Fei Long said helplessly. He had vowed to settle down and not take on any more girlfriends, but recently he seemed to have added two and a half.
Why two and a half? Xu Fei and Qian Ye Yu counted as two, and Fang Qing Xue was the half, he wasn't sure if she should count.
"You playboy." Xu Fei huffed. "You said you weren't looking anymore, but why were you suddenly so cozy with Fang Qing Xue? My grandfather told me she met you after I did."
"..."
"But now that you have me, you should settle down!" Xu Fei said. "When can I meet your other sisters?"
"Uh."
Yang Fei Long was taken aback.
Sister, you've just joined, and you're already thinking about meeting the other sisters?
Is your thinking too fast?
"Alright!" Yang Fei Long nodded.
Letting his women meet was something that would happen sooner or later. Many of his women already knew each other.
Of course, some didn't know about the others.
Like Li Yu Fei, she knew Yang Fei Long had many girlfriends, but she never had any desire to meet them. Although she accepted the fact that Yang Fei Long had many girlfriends, she told herself that if she didn't meet them, she would be Yang Fei Long's only girlfriend.
She was deceiving herself!
"Don't worry, I'll be good sisters with them and won't make things difficult for you," Xu Fei said, sensing Yang Fei Long's hesitant look.
"It's not difficult," Yang Fei Long shook his head, then paused. "Didn't you dislike me before? Why did you still jump into this pit of fire?"
Yang Fei Long couldn't resist his curiosity.
Back in Lan Hai City, he felt that Xu Fei had completely given up on him. Although some things had happened afterward, he hadn't truly believed she would throw herself at him and willingly become one of his girlfriends.
"It's because I can't forget you and think about you every day," Xu Fei sighed. "Perhaps, this is my fate!"
Hearing Xu Fei's words, Yang Fei Long opened his mouth, unable to say anything, and then leaned over and pressed down on Xu Fei.
"You... you want me again?" Xu Fei's face turned red.
"We're leaving soon. Let's relax one more time before we go!" Yang Fei Long chuckled.
"You bad boy." Xu Fei playfully chided him, then quickly blushed and started muttering curses.
Her curses were harsh, directed at Yang Fei Long and herself.
...
The Asian President of the Black River Group was Rosvord, a man in his early fifties who held significant power.
He also had another identity: he was the father of Marysia, the Black Rose.
This was known only to a few high-ranking officials within the Black River Group.
The Black River Group operated globally, with its Asian headquarters in Singapore. Rosvord frequently traveled between America and Singapore.
Rosvord was either at the Black River Group's headquarters or its Asian branch.
However, recently, America had just celebrated Christmas, their most important festival, equivalent to China's Spring Festival. Therefore, Rosvord had been in America.
Rosvord owned a manor in America.
Rosvord was a powerful and influential figure. He had many women and several offspring. The Black Rose, Marysia, was Rosvord's daughter.
However, she was his least favorite child because she was of Chinese-American descent. Despite his dislike and her deep hatred for him, even wishing him dead, he hadn't considered killing her because she held immense value.
At a young age, she was already a sixth-tier wind element wielder.
Her wind elemental abilities and high cultivation at such a young age made her extremely useful!
"Jamus Cord will be here soon. You'll accompany him," Rosvord said to Marysia, his tone indifferent.
Upon hearing this, Marysia, also known as Li Xiya, her expression changed. "I won't go!"
Jamus Cord was a scumbag, even worse than her beast of a father, and he had been coveting her for a long time!
"You will go whether you want to or not! I need Jamus Cord's father's help to break through to ninth-tier. Don't you want to free your mother? If you become Jamus Cord's woman, I'll let your mother go! She can return to China and live out her remaining years in peace!" Rosvord said coldly.
"You're threatening me again!" Li Xiya looked at Rosvord, her eyes filled with endless hatred.
"This is the last threat!" Rosvord said indifferently. "Whether you do it or not is up to you! However, you only have one hour to consider, or in one hour, I will kill your mother!"
"You wouldn't dare!" Li Xiya exploded in anger.
"Do you think I wouldn't dare?" Rosvord's lips curled into a cruel smile.
"Fine, I promise. I just hope you keep your word, otherwise, I swear I will pay any price to kill you!" Li Xiya clenched her fists, her eyes filled with killing intent.
"Don't worry, I wouldn't lie to you. After all, you are my daughter. And it's for your own good to become Jamus Cord's woman. Jamus Cord, although he likes women, is still a genius. In Chinese terms, he's a proud son of heaven. He's only thirty and already a seventh-tier elemental wielder. You should be satisfied," Rosvord said blandly.
Li Xiya's face darkened. She ignored Rosvord and turned to leave.
She didn't dare to stay, fearing that in her anger, she might fight with this beast of a father, which would jeopardize her and Yang Fei Long's plan!
