A magnificent mansion in the suburbs is bathed in warm light. The spacious living room is filled with laughter and chatter as guests mingle, clinking glasses over a lavish party.

Today is the 18th birthday party of Lee Ruei-je, son of Dr. Lee Chen, chairman and director of Li Shih General Hospital. Lee Chen took the opportunity to celebrate his beloved son's birthday and introduce him to prominent figures from various sectors of society.

Those arriving here must be top figures from the political, business, and medical worlds. This can be seen as a veiled opportunity to network. The prominent ladies have all dressed up beautifully, hoping to find a suitable husband.

At this moment, the male protagonist Li Ruijie was not in the hall receiving guests, but instead, incongruously, he was smoking and lounging in the backyard with his friend Mu Feixue.

His impeccably tailored, expensive suit jacket was nonchalantly thrown over his shoulder, the buttons of his shirt undone to reveal a tantalizing glimpse of... He exuded an irresistible and dangerously alluring aura.

Yet, such charm is apparently ineffective on this one person.

"I said," a lazy voice drawled, "aren't you being a bit inconsiderate dumping all these guests on your old man?"

The speaker was a super stunner, sitting gracefully on a rattan chair. She was breathtakingly beautiful with crystal clear skin.

Only the snowy whiteness was visible, her brow as distant as a mountain range, her large eyes deep like the ocean. Her small nose was just right, and her cherry-red lips were tinged with a rosy blush that made one want to steal a kiss and taste the sweetness within.

He was also the first person to not treat Li Ruijie's man as a priority.

"Hmph!" Li Ruijie sneered, "Anyway, this is just something the old man arranged for outsiders to see. I don't even know if he truly celebrates my birthday!"

Mu Fei Xue glared at him, "It's really unfortunate that your father gave birth to such a son!"

"You worry so much about me when you should be thinking about how to get rid of Liu Mujian, that leech!" Li Ruijie retorted sarcastically.

Liu Muk-jian was a catch Mu Fei-xue had made a month ago. His family owned a chain of Western restaurants, and he considered himself suave and sophisticated, preying on innocent young men. This is why Mu Fei-xue set her sights on him. She hated men like him who thought they were something special, and she loved to play the role of judge, jury, and executioner, punishing these ignorant fools.

This Liu Mujian is really clueless. Not only did he get played, but it's even more ridiculous that just two weeks later, he proposed in front of a crowd! I was completely shocked.

The natural reaction was, of course, to refuse and break up. But Liu Mujian just wouldn't give up, being so persistent that now whenever I see him, I want to run away.

Mu Feixue glared angrily at Li Ruijie.

This stinky man is really poking the hornet's nest, knowing full well he's hiding here in this mosquito-infested garden just to avoid people. Giving up the food and fun at the banquet was bad enough, but now I have to endure this friend's schadenfreude.

"How could I know he was such a pain in the neck? If I had known beforehand, I would have run far away!" She complained with a frown. This kind of life where she has to constantly hide and avoid him is really annoying, it's worse than dealing with a man like Liu Muk-jian who's always gloomy."

"Ah Jie!" she suddenly exclaimed, her eyes wide with plea.

"What are you doing?" Li Ruijie stared in fear, every time he put on this unlucky expression, it was always himself.

"Help me, please!"

"Help... help you with what?" Li Ruijie shook off a **goosebump**. He couldn't help it, this was Mu Feixue, the witch, being so warm to him for the first time. It was hard for him to respond and he didn't have the heart to refuse.

"You just tell Liu Mujian that you are my fiancé, then he won't bother me anymore!" Mu Feixue cunningly wanted to throw Liu Mujian this hot potato to Li Ruijie to solve.

It's a bit too much to praise Li Ruijie's character.

Although there's a saying that helping others brings joy, it's clearly not Li Ruijie's forte. It seems his true nature is to kick someone when they're down!

"Considering how deeply he cares for you, just agree to him, okay? When you get married, I'll definitely give you a big red envelope!"

"Li Ruijie!" Her charming cheeks puffed up in anger. How could she have met such a terrible friend! What a careless mistake!

"I can help you, but how are you going to repay me?" He leaned in with a sly smile, his handsome face inches from hers.

"Die!" Mu Feixue swung a punch, knocking away his infuriating grin.

"Oh! My face!" he cried, his most prized feature was ruined.

"Hmph! Serves him right!" Mu Feixue didn't feel the same way at all, she even wanted to punch him again.

"Never mind, I'll figure it out myself!"

"You said so, don't blame me for not being loyal." Li Ruijie was relieved that he had escaped the situation. He hated getting involved in such messy love triangles, and besides, who would play games like this? Now they've gone too far!

It's time for some lessons to be learned.

"You can just get your dad to take care of it," he suggested fearlessly.

Mu Feixue's face suddenly fell, and she warned coldly, "I said it before, I'm an orphan, with no father. If you dare to mention it again, be careful your handsome face gets beaten into a pig's head!"

"Yes, yes, yes, this one obeys!" Li Ruijie sighed silently in his heart. It seems Xiaoxue's feelings for her father are truly extraordinary.

Not mentioning it doesn't mean he's truly afraid. He simply understands that this outwardly ferocious little tiger actually has a very fragile heart. And as a kind and handsome gentleman like him, of course he wouldn't want to hurt someone's feelings.

"I want some champagne. Hey, go get me one," Mu Feixue ordered her friend, who unwittingly brought up the most hated thing in the world.

"Alright, alright, I've grown accustomed to being your little servant!" Li Ruijie resignedly stretched and stood up lazily, walking towards the hall.

He met Mu Feixue at the beginning of their first year in school. When he first entered the world, he was immediately drawn to Mu Feixue's beauty. Growing up, he had never seen such a beautiful girl. As an average boy who was just entering puberty, he naturally wouldn't fall behind in pursuing her!

He thought he was charming and popular his whole life, but then came Mu Feixue. She didn't even look at him! It really hurt his pride.

Once, he forcibly kissed her on the face. He almost lost his front teeth immediately. At that moment, his fantasy about this person finally shattered. Who wants a she-tiger?

But strangely, they ended up fighting, playing around, skipping class, and ultimately becoming good friends.

Therefore, I also learned a lot about my parents and understood how much my father hated me. It seems like this knot in my heart is truly difficult to unravel.
