However, Secretary Zhou realized for the first time that Rong Yan was different from those women from before. He had always thought that she was a vulgar and materialistic girl, but at that moment, he could not understand her.

Liancheng Yazhi and his new lover entered the store that Rong Yan had just come out from.

Liancheng Yazhi’s new lover happily went to try on clothes as he sat on the sofa with no expression.

He was in a foul mood and was unconsciously looking through his phone, and found the text Rong Yan sent him a month ago. Even Liancheng Yazhi himself did not know why he had not deleted it.

Liancheng Yazhi deliberately did not contact Rong Yan for over a month and thought that after such a long time, Rong Yan’s influence on him would diminish if he used other women. However, Liancheng Yazhi had to admit that he underestimated Rong Yan’s influence on him when he saw her earlier.

She still followed what their contract stated. When she saw him outside, she treated him like a stranger, did not greet him, or even acknowledge him when she passed by.

It was his own request, but anger surged out from Liancheng Yazhi’s heart when she calmly walked by.

He could not tell why he was angry. Was it because of how she was indifferent upon seeing him with another woman, or knowing that this woman only cared about his money and not him, like what she had said?

Liancheng Yazhi closed his eyes. He should be happy because he had always hoped that such women would not bug him after he had kicked them away.

But knowing that there was a woman who finally did it, he was not happy.

Secretary Zhou stood behind him. Years of experience told him that their Young Master Ya was upset because of Rong Yan.

Soon, the new lover who went to try on clothes came out and said to the salesgirl, “This is a bigger size, give me the smallest size.”

“I’m sorry, the lady who just left bought the smallest size of this dress.”

The new lover pouted and was very unhappy. “What a pity. I like that one, too. Can you bring another one over?”

“I’m very sorry, Miss. I can’t. This is a limited edition dress and there is only one dress for each size.”

Liancheng Yazhi looked at the purple long-sleeved dress. He could imagine how beautiful that dress would look on Rong Yan. It would make her skin look even fairer and her waist even more slender.

Having not seen her for more than a month, Liancheng Yazhi thought that his deliberate indifference might have made her afraid, unable to sleep, have poor complexion, and even lose a lot of weight.

But seeing her today, he found that she had lived very well for the past month even without him. Her complexion was ruddy, she looked energetic, and she had no negative emotions at all.

The more Liancheng Yazhi thought about it, the more annoyed he felt. Looking at his picky new lover, he felt like she was an eyesore. He quickly stood and turned to leave.

Seeing him leave, his new lover hurried to catch up. “Young Master Ya, why are you leaving? Wait for me.”

Liancheng Yazhi stopped. He looked at her hand that was holding his arm, and he said in a cold voice, “Let go.”

It frightened the new lover that her eyes turned red in an instant. Like a rabbit, she looked delicate and attractive. “Young Master Ya… W-What’s wrong?”

Liancheng Yazhi felt disgusted seeing her expression, and he said to Secretary Zhou, “Take her away and don’t let her appear in front of me again in the future.”
