The Billionaire's Mischievous Sweetheart

At this moment, the venue is still bustling with noise, with performances on stage and in lounges. The cocktail party is proceeding fervently. Before long, the lights come on, bright and clear in everyone’s eyes.

Meanwhile, the protagonist, Bai Wei, confidently continues singing and dancing with her Fortunate Gentleman, speaking passionately, her laughter constantly ringing out.

Throughout the night, Qi Longbing goes out of his way to flatter this lady host, frequently glancing around. Although he doesn’t see the "old friends" he wishes to see, it doesn’t affect his mood; today, he intends to enjoy and perform the act of "Imperial Concubine Drunk on Wine"!

However, this attracts a slight provocation and displeasure from the lady host.

"Young Master, what are you looking at?" Bai Wei astutely asks, her hand naturally hooking around his neck, gently exhaling breath at him, laughing, "You’ve monopolized the most beautiful scenery in the whole place, so what else are you unsatisfied with? Hmm?!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Longbing snaps back to reality, pulling her forcefully into his arms, an evil smile blooming on his devilishly handsome face.

"Well said, so well said; just for those words, tonight, you must accompany me!" Qi Longbing deliberately leans in to whisper against her ear, intentionally teasing the beauty’s springtime heart.

The laughter over there becomes even louder. Then comes a gentle push.

"You wish." Bai Wei laughs flirtatiously. Then she turns elegantly, leaning against the nearby dining table and sits down. She knows very well that at this moment, what she wants is not something as simple as a day’s passion; she has sacrificed so much for this person... perhaps only she knows, no, he should understand better; how couldn’t he!

For him, she’s willing to let a demon twist her soul, to do things that go against heaven and nature, living in terror and horror day and night for over a year, fearing revenge at any moment, spending every day in wary angst. Now, she has such a good opportunity to return to his side once again, why should she hesitate!

Qi Longbing follows, drifting like an Angel, arriving in front of her, now like a protector of flowers, offering the cocktail in his hand to the beauty.

"Then I’ll really have to wish well." Qi Longbing chuckled villainously.

The slender jade-like fingers elegantly extend to receive Qi Longbing’s drink, lifting her eyes, amber-colored pupils reflecting deep affection.

"Young Master, you’re becoming more charming; thinking back, you’d never say such things to Bai Wei." Bai Wei couldn’t help but teasingly reproach.

Qi Longbing immediately understood her implication. He lightly purses his lips, raises the glass to his mouth, and takes a small sip.

"Previously, I had eyes but failed to see this ’bright pearl’." Qi Longbing’s extremely soft magnetic voice resonates at her ear, then reaches out a hand, gently pinching her small hand and pulling it into his embrace, smiling seductively, "Now, the light of the ’bright pearl’ has captured my soul completely."

"...giggling...giggle..." A burst of coquettish laughter pierces the amorous air.

Bai Wei gracefully wraps her arm around his elbow, leaning her head on his shoulder.

"Alright, I want to be your girlfriend." Bai Wei says.

Qi Longbing’s face is filled with joy.

"Of course. You already are." Qi Longbing responds straightforwardly. It seems one has affection, and the other has interest. The love and desire perfect this "performance". Yet, deep inside, his true feelings are the least respected. Ever since Hua Xiaomo betrayed him, he can no longer regard other women, those are just fancy "clothes" of fake affection, pleasing to the eyes but nauseating when tasted.

"I..." Bai Wei pauses, then seductively leans to whisper in his ear, "...want to be your wife."

The fish is hooked, now this prospect is quite vacant, as everyone desires to soar to the treetop and become a Phoenix; although for this woman before him, it seems not quite necessary anymore since she has already transformed from a sparrow into a Phoenix. As for her motives, he’s too lazy to bother, true or false emotions make no difference; for Qi Longbing, she is just a pawn, a ruthless move that kills without a trace!! He wants revenge, wants to transfer that pain back to them.

Qi Longbing smiles meaningfully.

"Then it depends on whether your wise and powerful brother agrees to let me be his brother-in-law." Qi Longbing mischievously replies, cleverly pushing the difficulty onto her.

Bai Wei fearlessly lifts her elegant eyebrows, portraying a proud demeanor, "the Phoenix’s tail rises."

"As long as it’s something I want, he will agree." Bai Wei responds. Amber eyes dazzling, reflecting the image of the beloved before her.

"Oh? You’re so confident? Really unusual!" Qi Longbing says indifferently, wondering if Zi Yunsui knew he’s courting his sister, who knows how furious he’d be!! Thinking of all these, Qi Longbing feels as delightful as wanting to shout out loud three times. Dared to snatch my wife back then, now I’ll make your sister struggle under me! Let you taste the pain of losing your dearest kin and love!!

Bai Wei surely knows about Qi Longbing and Zi Yunsui’s affairs, Hua Xiaomo married Zi Yunsui, no need to guess, she could speculate what kind of situation it was, if she marries Qi Longbing, then their relationships will only become more complex and nuanced.

"Are you afraid? Afraid of being in an awkward relationship with my sister-in-law?" Bai Wei probes, her eyes also revealing doubt.

A sentence disguises a hidden love history. Sister-in-law?! How utterly ironic, the former fiancée now turns into one’s sister-in-law.

Qi Longbing maintains a calm expression, sipping his wine gently.

"I have no awkwardness. I never live in the past, I only enjoy the future..." Qi Longbing speaks seductively and sincerely, his deep blue eyes filled with emotion as they gaze at the beauty before him, as though she truly is the treasure of his heart.

"Me too." Bai Wei promptly responds, looking into the admiring gaze of her lover, her heart long since given. No, it’s not like that; they already had that kind of relationship long ago, it’s just that it was a picture she never dared imagine. And now, she’s really done it; he really fell in love with her.

Thinking of these things, Bai Wei’s mood can no longer remain tranquil.

"Then on the weekend, come with me to meet my brother, okay?" Bai Wei extends an olive branch, inviting graciously.

Seeing her so eager to board the treacherous ship, Qi Longbing doesn’t hesitate.

Though his mind contemplates things that ordinary people wouldn’t. He won’t stay silent about this; his most beloved is still that one woman.
