“This Mr. Fang and the young lady next to him really look like a match made
in heaven. I guess the two of them are a couple!” Qiao Mei asked Xia Zhe with a smile.
“That’s right! I also think that the two of them look very good together. Even Miss Pu can tell! Brother Fang, you have to be nice to Miss Su! Miss Su is so infatuated with you! Don’t let her down,” Yang Tian said agitatedly.
As long as he made Xia Zhe out to be in a relationship, there was a high chance that he would be able to get Qiao Mei. It would look good to have such a woman next to him!
“No, 1 don’t have a partner. She…” Xia Zhe glanced sideways at Su Rui and said fiercely, “She’s not worthy of me.”
These words were like a bolt from the blue. Su Rui had never even imagined that Xia Zhe would say such cruel words to her. She had thought that Xia Zhe would protect her and acquiesce to her actions because of the mission. In fact, Xia Zhe had been nice to her all this while. However, ever since this woman appeared, everything had changed.
“Miss Su, you have to work hard! You heard what Brother Fang said! You’re not his girlfriend yet! If you want to become Mrs. Fang, you have to work harder!” Yang Tian looked at Su Rui mockingly.
“Hmph, what’s the big deal? I’ll always be by his side. One day, that title will be mine!” Su Rui said stubbornly.
Qiao Mei could not help but applaud Su Rui and said, “Such motivation. Miss Su, you must work hard!”
When they went on this mission, their superiors had said that they could do whatever they wanted here and that they could also forget their past and who they were. They could treat it as starting a new life and they were allowed to fall in love, get married and even have children.
Although Xia Zhe and Su Rui had sneaked into Country M on the same boat, the two of them had gone their separate ways after they arrived. Xia Zhe’s cover in this mission was that of a highly educated academic. He made use of this background to join a financial organization and picked up a lot of knowledge about finance, earning his first pot of gold very soon after.
He used the money to invest in stocks and became better and better at it, earning more and more money. Soon, he became the richest businessman in North City.
However, Su Rui did not have it so good. She got herself tangled in the underground casino and the red light district and was pestered by many men.
When she really had no way out, she sent Xia Zhe a message asking for help. In order to protect his mission partner, Xia Zhe had to let Su Rui stay by his side as his female companion.
No one suspected anything about the identities of Xia Zhe and Su Rui. At the end of the day, it was just a rich businessman who kept a beautiful woman as his mistress. There was nothing strange about that.
After Su Rui’s issues were settled, Xia Zhe gave her a sum of money and asked her to leave and carry out the mission somewhere else. At this moment, Su Rui caught the eye of the target’s son, Yang Tian. In order to prevent Su Rui’s identity from being exposed, Xia Zhe had no choice but to pretend to be a couple with Su Rui again.
Su Rui was indeed bent on marrying Xia Zhe. To her, marrying Xia Zhe and carrying out the mission were mutually exclusive. They could do both at the same time and it would actually be very beneficial for the mission!
“Alright, back to business. Since Young Master Yang doesn’t want to bet using money, what do you want to use?” Qiao Mei asked curiously.
“If you are able to win all the chips I have, I’ll give you a vineyard in Sky City!’ Yang Tian said generously.
In any case, someone had given him that vineyard to curry favor with his father. It was not a big deal to give it to Qiao Mei and it meant nothing to him at all.
“Then what if I lose?” Qiao Mei continued to ask.
“If you lose, then you have to be my woman! Stay by my side for half a year!’ Yang Tian said with a laugh.
Yang Tian had never let a woman stay by his side for more than a week. He was showing Qiao Mei a lot of respect by letting her stay by his side for half a year. The Yang family owned businesses all over Country M and they also had many businesses in other countries. Even if Qiao Mei’s family came to hold him accountable for doing this, he could just give them money. Who would say no to money?
The look in Xia Zhe’s eyes turned viciously fierce as he stared at Yang Tian and Yang Tian felt a chill run down his spine. He turned around but did not see anyone else around.
Qiao Mei smiled and did not say anything. This Yang Tian was really stupid. Why would he think that she would lose? Since someone was giving her money for free, she naturally had no reason to reject him. She also wanted to make Xia Zhe anxious and punish him for having such a close relationship with Su Rui..
