He is heartless

  There is no road that cannot be walked through in this world, only people who cannot think it through.

  Su Ye believes that every woman is born with a princess dream, and no woman wants to fight with men for the world. However, after being suppressed and tempered by reality, most of the princess dreams have been shattered. Those who are content with their current situation have transformed from princesses to housewives, while those who are not satisfied with their current situation have transformed from princesses to warriors.

  Perhaps Yao Mei saw through it, so she chose to make a final stand in a man's world.

  Su Ye didn't look down on this kind of person, but instead admired her for occupying the heights of success, no matter what means she used, her goal had been achieved. However, due to professional habit and feminine sensitivity, she might not become friends with Yao Mei, a woman with a very strong sense of purpose, who in some ways had already become the enemy of women.

  So, with Yao Mei present, there was no need for Ji Dongyan to take action. Seeing Nian Boyan wanting to leave, Yao Mei immediately stepped forward, "I know that Mr. Nian's time is precious, but since we've finally met, could you spare me a few minutes?"

  Su Ye stopped in her tracks, looking at Yao Mei's profile. Although she was smiling, there was a hint of urgency in her eyes. Perhaps the saying was true - why must women make things difficult for other women? Thinking this, she turned to Yan Baiyan and said softly, "Yao, you're being too polite. If you decline again, it would be impolite. Why not have a good chat instead?"

  Toshihiko Nabiki had originally intended to take Sora with him and leave, but when he saw her walking towards him from Kaito Iwao's side, his discontent gradually disappeared. However, he didn't expect her to stop and remonstrate with him, and for a moment, his face looked somewhat somber.

  Ji Dongyan was a smooth talker, and as soon as he heard this, he stepped forward with a hearty laugh. "Director Nian, don't be too quick to refuse, I think this time it's quite reliable. You also have some patience to listen to Producer Yao introduce it properly. I'm really looking forward to working together with you." After finishing speaking, he pulled over Su Ye and gave her a sly smile. "I think you'd better not disturb your sister's husband discussing official business. Let's go play basketball."

  Su Ye didn't refuse, allowing Ji Dongyan to pull her towards Guoling. She subconsciously turned her head back and saw Yan Baiyi standing there silently, with Yao Mei almost sticking to him like a butterfly. For some reason, she felt a little lost and uncomfortable.

  Ji Dongyan stopped in his tracks and sat down directly on the ground. Su Ye saw that he wasn't leaving and felt a bit surprised, "Aren't you going to play basketball?"

  "Sit." Ji Dongyan patted the grass beside him and looked up at her, his face also looking a bit serious in the light.

  Su Ye saw that he had something to say and sat down, but he took the opportunity to put his arm on her shoulder. Before Su Ye could resist, he said coldly, "Xiao Ye, you can't be with me, but absolutely cannot be with him."

  "Ah?" Su Ye was taken aback and turned her head to look at him.

  The two people were sitting relatively close, and when she turned her head, the distance between their faces was greatly reduced. She could clearly see the distinct chest muscles under Ji Dongyan's POLO shirt collar, and also easily capture the seriousness in his eyes. She felt a bit embarrassed, unsure if it was because they were too close or because his words were too piercing, and forced a smile, "What are you talking nonsense about? What do you have to do with him?"

  "Aren't you fond of him?" Ji Dongyan frowned.

  Su Ye almost choked on her breath, her tone slightly rising, "Who said I liked him?"

  Ji Dongyan looked at her for half a day, his arm suddenly tightening. "You can just think I'm talking nonsense, anyway, you'd better stay away from Yan Baiyuan, the farther the better. No matter what he says, he's still your sister's husband, do you want to be infamous? Don't even mention that Yan Baiyuan is married, even if he wasn't married, he's absolutely not someone you like."

  "Why?" Su Ye retorted.

  Ji Dongyan raised an eyebrow and looked into the distance, she also followed his gaze to look past him. The sunlight stretched out Yan Baiyi's figure, tall and handsome, but with a sense of detachment that kept people at arm's length. Yao Mei seemed very familiar with him, chattering away beside him about who-knew-what.

  "Nian Baiyan is a heartless person." Ji Dongyan's explanation was somewhat chilly beside her ear.

  Su Ye suddenly turned her head and met his eyes, for a moment she didn't understand what he meant by his words.

  "Among the hundreds of millions of Chinese sons and daughters, why bother about him?" Ji Dongyan suddenly laughed again, stretched out his hand to pinch her nose, "Now facing me at close range, do you feel that I am also elegant and handsome?"

  He changed the subject.

  Su Ye didn't want to blindly believe him, so she thought for a moment and said, "If this came from Yan Bo's friend, I would consider it, but since it's coming from an enemy opponent, shouldn't I question it?"

  "Little leaf." Ji Dongyan said helplessly.

  "Since you took charge of the Greater China region, almost every move has been against Jing Shi Tou Group. Even the diamond mine that's going to be bid on next is no exception. Do you know what I'm thinking?" Su Ye leaned in close to him, almost face-to-face, and said word by word, "I'm thinking, what kind of deep hatred do you have with Nian Baiyan that you want to completely destroy him?"

  She hasn't been ignoring financial news lately, and the most talked-about topic is the Ji Group and Jing Shi Group. Everyone's attention has focused on the two young leaders behind these two major groups, who share the same age, experience, and even a similar handsome appearance. Some financial commentators have compared Yan Baiyan and Ji Dongyan to Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun in the midst of turmoil, although they haven't openly clashed, but already sensed the undercurrents of waves.

  Ke Su Ye really worried about that sentence: Success or failure is all due to the winds of fortune, what she feared was, the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits.

  "You're overthinking, the business world is like a battlefield, if we can't be friends then we won't be enemies either." Ji Dongyan smiled lightly, "Neither of us wants to completely destroy the other, you also heard that just now, I was saying I wanted to cooperate with him."

  "Your cooperation sounds like it doesn't carry much weight, just a casual conversation to get through the formalities." Suzuye was no fool and after clearly seeing the discord between Ki Tōgan and Toshihiko, she couldn't possibly believe this.

  Ji Dongyan raised an eyebrow, "Xiao Ye, trust my sincerity. Today, I really did make an appointment with Yao Zhi to discuss film investment here. You also know that many jewelry brands are now involved in the cultural industry, which is a win-win situation for cross-border marketing. Moreover, for your sake, I have to put aside my pride and take the initiative to make amends. Otherwise, how could your father agree to let you marry me?"

  Su Ye couldn't help but roll her eyes, "Ji Dongyan, can you be serious for once?"

  "Seriously, okay? Xiao Ye, I'm telling the truth, I really like you, so can I have another chance?"

  Su Ye's face was propped up by her hands as she looked at him with a frown, "When did you start liking me?"

  Ji Dongyan looked at her and didn't answer immediately.

  "Can't think of an answer?" Su Ye couldn't help but laugh.

  Ji Dongyan looked at her with a deeper meaning in his eyes, and after a long time said, "I've liked you for quite some time now. At first it was just looking at your photos, but later when I saw you at Qinglong Gorge, I completely fell for you."

  "How can I be so distrustful? Where did you get this photo?"

  "Mind your own business, anyway I've taken a liking to you. Are you going to go along with it or not?" Ji Dongyan deliberately put on an overbearing air, his tall and sturdy body also pressing in, his tone smooth and sly.

  Su Ye laughed and pushed him away, "Aye aye still young master, scared me to death." No need to ask, since they had a relationship, it was probably the photo taken from his uncle's house.

  "Push Little Ye again, and he'll force you to become a ripe rice." Ji Dongyan said, stretching out his hand to steal a sniff.

  Who would have thought that Su Ye's quick capture would subdue him, and the next moment he was pressed to the ground. Ji Dongyan cried out in pain, "Miss, you're still using your cruel skills on me?"

  "Dare you to lay a hand on me again?" Su Ye pressed her entire body against his back, secretly tightening her wrist, and whispered in his ear with a smile.

  "I dare not, I dare not, let me off quickly, my arm is almost broken." Ji Dongyan begged repeatedly.

  "Sister, I was wrong." The leaves fell leisurely.

  Ji Dongyan glanced at her with a sidelong glance, his face sullen, "Can we drop the title and just say the last three words?"

  Su Ye directly used force to answer his request.

  "Stop it! Stop it! If you twist my arm again, it'll really break!" Ji Dongyan, being a good fellow who didn't want to suffer losses in front of others, hastily said, "Sister, I was wrong."

  "This is about right." Su Ye stretched out her hand and gently patted his twisted cheek, pursing her lips with a smile, "If you had surrendered to me earlier, you wouldn't have had to suffer like this."

  "Little Leaf——"

  "Leaves." A slightly chilly voice came from above, almost dispersing the scorching heat in the air. The world passed through a fold.

  Su Ye's hand relaxed, and when she looked up, it was Nian Boyan.

  From this angle, he looked too condescending, his broad shoulders blocking out more than half of the sunlight, completely enveloping her in his shadow. His eyes were no longer calm and peaceful, but seemed to have darkened a lot.

  She was caught off guard by this gaze, and Ji Dongyan took advantage of the momentary loosening of his grip to free his arms, making their posture look ambiguous no matter how you looked at it.

  Still following Yao Mei's lead, she broke the silence with an exaggerated laugh and said, "Are we interrupting your romantic moment?"

  As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Bojian's face became even colder.

  Ji Dongyan naturally leaned back and stretched out his hand to hold Su Ye in his arms, "Our love is not against the law, is it?"

  Su Ye originally wanted to push Ji Dongyan away, but after glancing at Yan Baiyan, she didn't resist and just smiled faintly. She thought Yan Baiyan would either walk away indifferently or simply let her make the choice again, but unexpectedly, Yan Baiyan, who had been silent all along, spoke up and said, "Yao Zhi proposed that we have a friendly match, I think it's a great idea."

  Ji Dongyan was stunned, and even Su Ye was stunned.

  "Yes, General Ji, it's rare for me to play with the two of you today, I won't miss this opportunity." Yao Mei said excitedly beside them.

  Nian Baiyan walked up, unexpectedly stretched out his hand, and seemingly leisurely pulled Su Ye directly from Ji Dongyan's arms to his side. His arm changed direction without a trace and wrapped around her shoulder, lowering his head with a smile to ask for her opinion, "What do you think?"
