Using me as a tool, who gave you the courage?

That night, Li Yi handed in his "homework" over and over again.

When he woke up in the morning and looked at the sleeping beauty beside him, he admitted she was stunning, but he really couldn't take it anymore.

Over and over again; even a bull would be worked to death, alright?

Forget it, he needed to finish things up quickly and then return to Magic City.

Li Yi turned his head to look at his childhood sweetheart. Her delicate face had become even more rosy and smooth after being "nourished," and her faint fragrance particularly captivated him.

In terms of figure, looks, and temperament, Yu Xinyi was definitely top-tier; it was just that she was far too energetic.

If he weren't in his twenties, he would probably be sent to the hospital by now.

"Though you're a bit fierce sometimes, what can I do? I like you. It would be perfect if you were just a little bit gentler."

As he spoke, he reached out to tidy the hair of the sleeping Yu Xinyu, then continued, "But no matter what, you will always be my, Li Yi's, future wife; no matter what you become, that will never change."

His palm gently stroked Yu Xinyi's cheek, and he slowly leaned in to plant a light kiss on her forehead. Then, he tiptoed away from the warm, large bed, got dressed, and drove away from the Villa.

However, what Li Yi didn't know was that the moment he left the room and closed the door, the supposedly sleeping Yu Xinyi slowly opened her eyes.

An alluring smile unconsciously appeared on her face as she murmured, "This guy, he's still the same as when he was a kid."

As soon as she finished speaking, the smile on her face was replaced by sadness. "Future wife? I'm sorry, Brother Yi, Xinyi might not be able to wait until then."

...Singapore!

Wang Shaojun brought Butler Wei to the auction site. This auction was different from previous ones, as it seemed an invitation wasn't even required to attend.

Consequently, the atmosphere of the entire venue was incredibly lively. While it was called an auction, in Wang Shaojun's eyes, it felt more like a ball.

The vast majority of people had partners by their sides and were dressed glamorously.

However, he didn't care about any of that. He found a place to sit down, and his arrival didn't attract anyone's attention.

"Butler Wei, have Yi Zhongtian arrange the matters for Tiangong Real Estate as soon as possible. Once those three islands are auctioned off, start construction immediately to connect them. Don't worry about how much it costs; I only have one requirement, and that is speed.

It would be best if it could be completed before the New Year, and then we can start building Tiangong Real Estate's first city right after. Also, have Yi Zhongtian return to Magic City with us tomorrow; Tiangong Real Estate will have a vice president sent from the group to serve as CEO."

"Yes, Young Master!"

Just as Wang Shaojun was waiting for the auction to begin, a voice suddenly rang out in the venue, instantly drawing everyone's attention.

"Sun Jingcheng, do you not understand human speech? Can you stop following me like a simp? It's disgusting to look at you."

In the center of the venue, a tall woman in a light blue gown cursed angrily, her eyes filled with loathing for the man in front of her.

"Xiao Xi, look at what you're saying. I'm willing to be your simp; others couldn't even if they wanted to. Besides, we're well-matched in social status, which couldn't be more appropriate. Feelings can be nurtured. As long as you agree to be my girlfriend, I'll give you whatever you want.

Xiao Xi, I truly love you. Of the three thousand waters, I only take one ladle to drink. As long as you agree to be my girlfriend, I promise not to fool around anymore and to love only you in this life."

"Sun Jingcheng, you really make me feel sick. Do you even believe that yourself? I'm warning you one last time: I don't like you, and I already have a boyfriend. If you dare to harass me again..."

"Don't say I didn't warn you, your Sun Family can't afford to provoke my boyfriend."

Though she said this, in her heart she thought: Sun Jingcheng, yes, keep simping like that, let everyone know you're my dog.

Hearing her words, Sun Jingcheng obviously didn't believe her. "Xiao Xi, stop joking. How could I not know if you had a boyfriend? Oh, I get it, you're definitely trying to make me back off, right?

Don't worry, in Singapore, the people my Sun Family can't afford to provoke can be counted on one hand. Xiao Xi, I won't let anyone take you away. Whatever you like in the auction later, I'll win it for you as a token of our love."

"Sun Jingcheng, it seems you really are a dog, because you truly don't understand human speech. I said I have a boyfriend. You don't believe me, right? Just you wait."

The people around, seeing this, all wore expressions of those watching a drama.

"Sigh, Young Master Sun is truly devoted. If I remember correctly, he's been pursuing the Eldest Miss of the Chen Family for a year now, hasn't he?"

"Tell me about it. The Sun Family is powerful and influential in Singapore, and he's not bad-looking either. If I were a woman, I would have thrown myself at him long ago."

"Heh, you don't understand. For a second-generation heir like Young Master Sun, something too easily obtained won't be cherished. Men, you know how it is."

"I get it, I get it, I totally get it. But then again, Chen Yanxi is indeed beautiful and moving, but she's so cold, like a block of ice, keeping everyone at a distance."

"Isn't that a perfect match? Young Master Sun is as passionate as fire, and she's an iceberg beauty. If you ask me, these two are a match made in heaven. It's just that it's been a year; forget a block of ice, even an iceberg should have melted by now."

While everyone was gossiping, Chen Yanxi's gaze scanned the crowd as if she were looking for someone.

Suddenly her eyes lit up, and her gaze fell upon Wang Shaojun.

At this moment, Wang Shaojun was looking down, scrolling through TikTok. After a moment, his arm was suddenly hugged. The soft sensation enveloping his arm made him look up involuntarily.

Chen Yanxi looked at him with a face full of tenderness and affection, "Darling, someone is harassing me."

Hearing this, Wang Shaojun frowned. He hadn't expected to have a day where he was used as a shield.

Before he could speak, Chen Yanxi hugged his arm and said to Sun Jingcheng, "Young Master Sun, see? He's my boyfriend. You should just give up; my boyfriend is someone you can't afford to provoke."

Hearing this, Sun Jingcheng sized up Wang Shaojun for a few moments, then glanced at Butler Wei standing nearby.

Although his Sun Family was very powerful in Singapore and he was a through-and-through playboy in the eyes of others, that didn't mean he was stupid.

One had to choose the right time and place to be arrogant; he still understood the principle that there is always someone better and a sky beyond the sky.

So, after hearing Chen Yanxi's words, he didn't mock Wang Shaojun. Instead, he asked very politely, "Brother, are you really her boyfriend?"

Hearing this, Chen Yanxi was stunned. Was this still the Sun Jingcheng she knew? His temper was so good; in the past, if she had hugged a man's arm so intimately, he would have been furious long ago.

Terrified that Wang Shaojun would say no, she couldn't help but lean into his ear and whisper, "Handsome, help me out. Once we get rid of him, how about I treat you to a meal?"

After speaking, she didn't forget to press against Wang Shaojun's arm.

Hearing this, Wang Shaojun laughed in spite of himself. A meal?

You're using me as a shield, which means you want me to offend the other party. Although he wasn't afraid, using him as a tool was where she was in the wrong.
