Ye Feng encounters Chen Xuan and Zhang Youting emerging from the lounge in bathrobes with flushed faces, sparking a brief misunderstanding that they dispel by explaining Chen Xuan's exhaustion from overwork at Lingyun Real Estate. Feeling guilty, Ye Feng checks her health and insists she rest, but she refuses amid company pressures. The situation escalates when Zhang Youting receives a call announcing the return of Chen Shimei, the ambitious son of South Guangdong Fenghua Jewelry's vice chairman, who persistently pursues Chen Xuan during the firm's crisis and possesses strong martial arts skills, prompting Ye Feng to pull her protectively into his embrace as footsteps approach.

Ye Feng settled onto the couch and drew Chen Xuan close into his arms.

Chen Xuan froze for an instant.

Yet soon enough, she came to her senses. With a spark of delight in her eyes toward Ye Feng, she wrapped her arms around his neck and planted a tender kiss on his cheek.

"At least you have a conscience..."

Right then, Chen Shimei along with his bodyguards burst through the door of Chen Xuan's office.

Upon witnessing Chen Xuan nestled in Ye Feng's lap, playfully intimate with him, boldly kissing his cheek, and far from her typical aloof and haughty CEO demeanor, Chen Shimei's face involuntarily spasmed.

His steps halted abruptly.

Noticing the odd looks on his bodyguards' faces, he snapped back to reality and eyed Ye Feng suspiciously. "Xuanxuan, who's this...?"

Chen Xuan acted as if she'd only just spotted him come in. She twisted around to face him, replying icily, "I've mentioned it before—he's my guy, Ye Feng."

"Ye Feng? That name rings a bell?" Chen Shimei's brow furrowed a bit, though spotting Ye Feng's hands still roaming Chen Xuan's legs sparked a surge of fury in him, scattering his thoughts.

Without thinking, Chen Shimei blurted out, "I don't recall anyone by that name in Guangzhou's elite circles?"

"Xuanxuan, you didn't just grab some random guy from the street to act as your fake boyfriend and trick me on purpose, did you?"

"This fellow even reeks of seafood. Did you fetch him straight from the marketplace…"

Zhang Youting's eyes bulged in shock, ready to point out that his ignorance of Ye Feng's name meant he likely didn't grasp Guangzhou's upper echelons at all.

Chen Xuan shot back furiously, "Ye Feng is way more handsome than you!"

"If you've got no other business, kindly leave. Stop interrupting me and my boyfriend!"

"Xuanxuan, calm down. That wasn't my intention." Chen Shimei hurriedly signaled to one of his men.

One bodyguard promptly advanced and unlocked a safe, exposing a finely crafted jade bracelet within.

"I learned you've had trouble sleeping lately. So I pulled strings to obtain this fulushou jade bracelet for you! It'll soothe your mind and sharpen your focus, while drawing in good fortune and boosting prosperity!"

His bodyguard chimed in obsequiously, "Young Master Chen called in numerous favors just to secure this jade bracelet."

"Plus, this piece is valued at almost two million yuan. It truly reflects his affection for President Chen!"

Chen Shimei flashed a sycophantic grin.

Chen Xuan barked, "Haven't you gotten it through your head? I've got a boyfriend already—why keep showering me with gifts?!"

Ye Feng tightened his hold on Chen Xuan with a subtle smile. "I can spoil my lady on my own; Young Master Chen doesn't need to concern himself."

"Affection isn't shown merely through talk." Chen Shimei made no effort to conceal his animosity toward Ye Feng.

Ye Feng produced an imperial green jade bracelet like a sleight-of-hand trick and handed it over to Chen Xuan.

"Young Master Chen has a point. I had this surprise ready to present to Sister Xuan this evening, but we'll share it with her early now."

"This is…" Chen Xuan clearly looked stunned.

"Such a stunning jade bracelet!" Zhang Youting stood there, equally amazed.

Though they weren't experts and couldn't instantly identify the imperial green jade, its distinctive allure still captivated them.

In the meantime, Chen Shimei's eyes popped wide open. He instinctively advanced a couple of paces, his stare fixed intently on the imperial jade bracelet.

It was only after scrutinizing it closely and verifying certain features that he turned to Ye Feng in utter disbelief. He exclaimed, "An imperial green jade bracelet? This can't be real!"

"Based on today's market rates for imperial green jade, this item fetches no less than 20 to 30 million! Even Guangzhou's richest tycoons hoard them like precious heirlooms. How could someone obscure like you casually hand one over?"
