Chen Jie meditated cross-legged in the living room, resting his mind.
At that moment, the villa door opened.
A graceful figure walked in.
"You're back?" Chen Jie opened his eyes and asked.
"Chen Jie?"
He Yufei patted her chest, "You scared me. Why didn't you turn on the lights?"
He Yufei had been busy with company matters lately, commuting between Pingcheng and the provincial capital. Thus, she often returned home very late.
Chen Jie smiled, "Have you eaten?"
"Mhm, I ate with my assistant at the company."
He Yufei asked, "What about you?"
Chen Jie nodded.
He Yufei hummed in response. She was a little curious why Chen Jie was on the first floor tonight.
Normally, Chen Jie stayed on the second floor and rarely interacted with her.
However, she didn't ask further. She took off her top and began to wash up.
Before long, a beautiful woman fresh from her bath was flitting about in front of Chen Jie.
"I washed your clothes too," He Yufei said, her cheeks flushed, as she came before Chen Jie in a bath towel after finishing her chores.
Chen Jie replied, "Alright, you should go to bed first. I'll have a guest shortly."
"Oh."
He Yufei responded with disappointment. She had thought that dressed like this, Chen Jie would be deeply moved.
But she received no response from Chen Jie, and felt a pang of disappointment.
Although they lived under the same roof, due to her busy schedule and Chen Jie's focus on cultivation, they had few interactions.
This left He Yufei with a sense of inexplicable emptiness.
Thinking that Chen Jie would have a guest soon, He Yufei returned to her room and changed into a beautiful outfit.
When she reappeared before Chen Jie, his eyes lit up.
He Yufei was wearing a thin dress. As she moved, her long, slender legs lifted the hem, showcasing her curves.
She was both demure and sexy.
Furthermore, nourished by spiritual energy, He Yufei's entire being seemed even more alluring, her skin as smooth as white jade.
Just then, the villa's doorbell rang.
"I'll get the door!"
He Yufei quickly gave Chen Jie a gentle smile, then trotted off, her hips swaying as she went outside.
Her retreating figure was quite captivating.
Outside the door, a handsome young man appeared before He Yufei.
Seeing him, He Yufei was momentarily stunned. "Who are you?"
"This must be Chen Jie's residence, right?" the man said impolitely.
He Yufei hadn't quite reacted, but sensing his attitude, her pretty face grew cold. "Are you looking for Chen Jie about something?"
"Move aside," Wen Qiang barked, giving He Yufei a lecherous glance before heading inside.
If they were somewhere secluded, he would have gladly taken He Yufei and enjoyed her thoroughly before discarding her.
After all, his strength was sufficient that even if he did something, there would be no trace. He could indulge himself while maintaining his image of a dashing rake.
But today was different. He knew Gu Yue also lived here, so he had to restrain himself.
"What are you doing?"
He Yufei hurried after him. "How can you be so rude? This is private property, you can't just barge in."
"Scram! Under normal circumstances, I'd beat you, you slut, until you shat yourself! Don't provoke me!" Wen Qiang retorted crudely.
He Yufei was simultaneously ashamed and angry. Only when Chen Jie called her a slut would she not be offended.
Now, a stranger saying such a thing filled her with indignation and the desire to slap him.
"Chen Jie..."
He Yufei followed him into the living room and quickly went to Chen Jie's side, looking at Wen Qiang warily.
Chen Jie said to He Yufei, "This doesn't concern you. You don't need to butt in!"
Chen Jie had sensed the doorbell and realized the visitor was an uninvited guest.
If a normal person were visiting, the guards would have informed him immediately.
Given the excellent security at Peace Mountain Villa, it was not easy for ordinary people to enter.
Since he had not received any prior notification, the fact that this person appeared before him could only mean they had entered through illicit means.
"Already here? Did Gu Yue send you?" Chen Jie asked, a touch surprised.
At a glance, he could tell Wen Qiang's strength was comparable to Gu Yue's.
To teach him a lesson, Wen Qiang was likely insufficient.
"Hmph! What do you mean Gu Yue sent me? I came here on my own!"
Wen Qiang immediately denied it.
Chen Jie looked surprised. "Did you come to see me about something?"
"I've come to see you with two demands! First, immediately capture Gu family's enemy and hand them over to Little Yue with your own hands."
"Second, you are to immediately break off your engagement with Little Yue!"
"Kid, if you do as I say, I won't make things difficult for you!"
Wen Qiang said domineeringly.
He Yufei looked at Chen Jie in surprise.
She wondered how Chen Jie had so many fiancées.
She was aware of the identities of Zhang Xinyan, Yang Siqing, and Wang Xiaoyan.
Chen Jie asked, "Who are you?"
"It doesn't hurt to tell you. I am the young master of the Wen family, a prominent ancient family in the capital, renowned alongside the Gu family! I am also Little Yue's childhood friend!"
"Do you know my identity now? Little Yue, out of consideration for your relationship, gives you some face, but I don't have much regard for you. If you anger me, you won't see tomorrow's sun!"
Wen Qiang spoke with arrogance.
Chen Jie frowned. "Since you've made such a demand, I can tell you that regardless of whether they are Gu family's enemies, since they reside in my Peace Mountain Villa, I have an obligation to protect their safety."
"Secondly, whether I break off my engagement with Miss Gu or not is not for you to meddle in!"
"Now, you can scram."
Chen Jie would not indulge such behavior.
Since the man was so disrespectful, he would not be polite either.
"What did you say? You want me to scram?" Wen Qiang said incredulously.
"You heard correctly. Considering this is your first time trespassing, I won't hold it against you. If you dare to enter Peace Mountain Villa without permission again, you will face appropriate punishment!"
"Hahaha... You trash, you're treating me like some lowly beggar!"
Wen Qiang became agitated. "I, the young master of an ancient aristocratic family, and you dare to speak to me in such a tone! You're actually amusing me!"
He Yufei was furious. "Since when can a lowly slut speak to me like that! Today, I will make you pay the price! You two will die!"
Wen Qiang punched towards He Yufei.
He roared, "I didn't beat you, slut, until you shat yourself earlier. Since you're so cheap, I'll fulfill that for you first! Remember, it was I, Wen Qiang, who made you shit yourself! This punch will bring you glory!"
Yelp!
He Yufei screamed and instinctively ducked behind Chen Jie.
Chen Jie's eyes, however, turned cold, and he moved to meet the punch head-on.
