The man's tone was extremely indifferent, but the powerful self-confidence revealed in his words gave him an extra edge of wild arrogance.
Yeah, yeah, you're amazing, you're amazing, who doesn't know how amazing you are?
Yolanda Fang rolled her eyes, annoyed: "Henry He of the He family, the guy who drives all the women in Oceanport crazy, who even gets branded as the family's future pride and joy—why do you have to chase after me all the time?"
I'm just some nobody kid who crawled out of a small city—why not go after someone else?
Yolanda turned to look at him, her eyes blinking: "How about just letting me off the hook?"
Besides, even though I'm pretty decent-looking, with a great figure and curves, you could find a bunch of women like that just hanging around you.
Honestly, Henry He is outstanding in both looks and presence. The overwhelming pride between his brows can make plenty of women swoon, not to mention he's the He family's young master and future patriarch—that kind of status is a huge bonus.
Listening to Yolanda's words, Henry He simply shook his head: "What I can promise you is that until you fully accept me, I absolutely won't make any inappropriate moves."
But anything else—forget it.
Henry He spoke calmly. Hearing this, Yolanda let out a quiet sigh, resting her chin on her hand, her head full of worries.
I'm really curious—what kind of person do you actually like?
The room was quiet for a few minutes before Henry He spoke up, glancing at Yolanda Fang. He was genuinely interested in Fang Qiuji's daughter.
It was supposed to be a marriage full of tangled interests. At first, Henry He barely noticed Yolanda, assuming she was just like every other girl. But the more he got to know her, the more he realized that Yolanda was way more interesting than anyone else.
She had zero interest in designer clothes or handbags; diamonds and jewelry were just rocks to her. Power and status—the things other women chased—were exactly what she avoided. Except for the rare times she laughed with other girls while watching campus games, she was quiet as a cat most of the time. And when she did bare her claws, she didn't care who was in front of her; not long ago, she slapped a family heiress in public, loud and clean. Henry He admired her style.
I like guys who are awesome at soccer. Can you do that?
Yolanda glanced at Henry He. He had long legs, explosive power, and stamina, but he wasn't into team sports like soccer or basketball. He was the type who loved sports cars, martial arts, and had insane talent and skills—a classic rich kid with solo power.
If I get the chance, I can try. I could play a match against whoever you like. Even though I've never played soccer, nobody could beat me.
Henry He spoke with calm pride.
Yolanda just rolled her eyes at him, then looked out the window at the rows of luxury cars on the opposite peak. She saw two more cars driving up the mountain and, with a hint of nostalgia, said, "That guy is a total monster—he can play like eleven people by himself."
Even if your legs are longer and you're bigger than him, I bet you still couldn't beat him.
Yolanda spoke with certainty, a hint of pride in her voice.
But she had no idea that Henry He, still wearing his calm expression, raised his eyebrows at her words, his eyes full of irritation.
At the top of Phoenix Mountain, Victor Zhu leaned against the hood of a blue Lamborghini, glancing now and then toward the driveway.
Next to him, a few arrogant rich kids smoked and yawned. "Victor, are you serious? Yi Dong never had a boyfriend, right? How come she suddenly has one after just a few days? You must be joking."
"Yeah, and everyone knows Yi Dong has been chased by Second Young Master Keene for ages. He's put in years of effort, but it never worked out. I heard he went back to Oceanport this morning—the Keene family must be up to something big." Another guy nodded.
They looked at Victor Zhu. In this circle, there were big cliques and small cliques. The Zhu family had real status, and the Keene family was a giant. But the Guan family—who organized today's high-speed race—was a notch below.
Still, the Guan family had Old Eunuch Butcher Tu backing them, which gave Gavin Guan decent connections in the circle.
"Just some random nobody. No idea what trick he pulled to get Yi Dong interested." Victor Zhu shook his head. "But whatever, he'll be here soon. You'll see for yourself."
As he spoke, Victor couldn't help glancing to the other side.
He noticed a girl standing by Gavin Guan, her vibe a little extraordinary, and couldn't help but ask, "Hey, who's that chick next to Gavin? She looks pretty good."
"That girl's from Jinnan. Gavin Guan went there just to chase her, but apparently she wasn't interested. She even helped someone else beat Gavin into the hospital. Now she's here to keep him company and make up for it." Someone looked at the blue-clad girl standing among the other women—Selina Wu, looking pure even in the crowd—and clicked his tongue in admiration.
"I heard she's actually into Gavin's older brother, Austin Guan. Now Gavin just won't give up." Another guy nodded.
As they talked, they saw Leo Li and Faye Zheng's group coming up the mountain. The circles checked each other out, but for now, things stayed peaceful.
A moment later, a BMW Z4 sped up to the summit. As soon as it stopped, Henry Zhu jumped out and shouted a greeting to Victor Zhu.
Victor Zhu saw the Mini Cooper following close behind. When it stopped, Yvonne Zhu took a deep breath and stepped out of the car.
Before Evan Lin could get out, Victor Zhu strode over and stood by the passenger door. He grabbed the handle, tilted his head, and shouted to the crowd of rich heirs: "Everyone quiet down!"
"Since everyone's here today, let me solemnly introduce the Zhu family's most precious Yvonne Zhu—and her brand-new boyfriend!"
He yelled at the top of his lungs, voice booming.
Everyone gathered around, people from all different circles fell silent at his words, all turning to look their way.
