The car slowly cruised down the road. Thanks to Xiao Tian’s excellent driving skills, the red Ferrari zipped down the street like a fiery red comet. Yet those inside hardly felt its speed; it was perfectly smooth.

Xiao Tian’s hands were getting a bit naughty at the moment. Lin Bingxuan sat beside him, her pretty face flushed.

Even though they had already shared the closest of relations, it was broad daylight, on the road. Lin Bingxuan still couldn’t entirely let go of her reservations.

"Oh dear." As Xiao Tian’s hands became increasingly outrageous, Lin Bingxuan couldn’t help but squeak aloud. She repeatedly tried to push Xiao Tian’s big hands away with her delicate hands, but she was no match for him. In the end, all Lin Bingxuan could do was resign herself to letting Xiao Tian continue.

Xiao Tian, however, was in high spirits, humming a little tune.

This time, the venue Lin Bingxuan was attending for the banquet was the Celestial Imperial Club. Just from the name, one could sense the club’s extraordinary grandeur.

And indeed, it was true. As one of the top clubs in Shanghai, the Celestial Imperial Club was an exclusive spot for the wealthy. Its scale was no less than any star-rated hotel in Shanghai.

They say that if you’re worth a million, you wouldn’t dare to even approach the doors of the Celestial Imperial Club. The reason is simple.

Because one bottle of high-end red wine at the Celestial Imperial Club costs over a million!

Although there’s some exaggeration in these rumors, they indeed prove that this place is definitely not affordable for ordinary people.

A few minutes later, Xiao Tian and Lin Bingxuan finally arrived at the Celestial Imperial Club. In front of the grand and luxurious building stands a broad, elegant garden in full bloom, with luxury cars parked around, exuding an air of distinction.

The two got out of the car. After Lin Bingxuan presented the invitation card, two bodyguards at the door opened the entrance.

This banquet was held in the club’s hall, where numerous beauties and models were dancing to the music. Within the spacious hall hung a huge crystal chandelier, with enchanting lights.

A group of Shanghai’s upper-class elites gathered together, clinking glasses and mingling.

Originally, everyone in the hall was drinking separately. Everything changed completely with Lin Bingxuan’s arrival.

Lin Bingxuan walked into the hall in a long white gown. Her stunning beauty was adorned with a charming smile, leaving many men around staring blankly.

Some even failed to realize their glasses were overflowing, still immersed in Lin Bingxuan’s allure.

"Isn’t this Shanghai’s financial queen, Lin Bingxuan? I’ve only ever seen her shining in the newspapers; I never imagined she could be even more beautiful in person...."

"Tsk tsk. Such a goddess, I wonder which lucky man gets to have her!"

"I’ve heard countless rich young men in Shanghai spend fortunes just for a chance to dine with her alone. Yet still, she rejected them all...."

Amidst the chatter that followed.

For Xiao Tian, this was not unexpected.

Lin Bingxuan was already a renowned beauty in Shanghai, the queen of the financial world. Coupled with this gown, her attractiveness was not surprising.

As Lin Bingxuan walked through, everyone’s eyes were fixed on her. Some of the city’s famous wealthy young men hurried over to greet and flatter her.

Lin Bingxuan responded to these flattering gestures with smiles, handling them politely.

However, Xiao Tian stood not far away, somewhat dissatisfied. As a fellow man, he could naturally detect some unsavory hints in certain men’s eyes.

At that moment, Xiao Tian steps forward, directly interposing himself in front of those approaching to flatter Lin Bingxuan.

A few men frowned upon seeing Xiao Tian step up, discontentedly asking, "Who are you? Why are you standing in front of Miss Lin?"

"I’m her man!" Xiao Tian straightened his posture, grinning and revealing a neat row of sparkling teeth.

"What?? You’re her man?"

"Hahaha, stop joking. Miss Lin is angelically beautiful, how could she choose you?"

At that moment, Lin Bingxuan watching Xiao Tian’s ’declaration of sovereignty’ with what seemed childish behavior, instead felt a bit warm inside.

At this moment, a touch of tenderness also swept through Lin Bingxuan’s heart, her face slightly flushed. Right in front of everyone, she held Xiao Tian’s hand and boldly introduced, "Let me introduce to everyone, this is my boyfriend, Xiao Tian."

"Wha—at?"

Upon hearing Lin Bingxuan’s words, the group who had been mocking Xiao Tian was left stupefied. For ten seconds, they were speechless, as if struck by lightning.

Lin Bingxuan had mingled in Shanghai’s upper circles for many years. She had countless suitors and was known as the unattainable flower of Shanghai. Even among those present, many were pursuing Lin Bingxuan.

However, upon seeing Lin Bingxuan’s slightly flushed face, overwhelmingly alluring, with the demeanor of a gentlewoman, their hearts broke. They envied to the extreme.

What they couldn’t understand the most was Lin Bingxuan chose someone ordinary-looking and clad in street-market clothes!

This was an outright insult to all of them!

After greeting, Lin Bingxuan went off to see some friends. She knew Xiao Tian didn’t much enjoy such gatherings, so she didn’t let him accompany her.

Xiao Tian sat at a spot to eat and drink.

Just then, a few of Lin Bingxuan’s suitors, full of envy, jealousy, and resentment, fueled by alcohol, approached him directly. They said with discontent, "I’ve been around Shanghai all these years, how come I’ve never seen you? Which family’s Young Master are you?"

Xiao Tian pondered for a moment, then indifferently replied, "I’m not anyone’s Young Master. I’m a policeman!"

"Policeman? Hahahaha!" A hefty man named Chen Qiang laughed and scoffed, "Cop, huh? How impressive. I forgot to mention, those delivering gifts to my family each year are at least of Deputy Director level!"

"Look at your cheap outfit, what do you have that’s worth anything? Clearly a pauper, if it weren’t for Miss Lin, you’d never have been able to enter here in your lifetime!"

Seeing the fat man’s sneering, Xiao Tian’s expression turned grim,

If he was verbally attacked alone, Xiao Tian wouldn’t bother to engage with such a person. But now, representing Lin Bingxuan, as her man, Xiao Tian couldn’t let her lose face.

Chen Qiang, still laughing with some other guys at Xiao Tian’s expense, suddenly heard Xiao Tian voice out, "When was the last time you brushed your teeth? Your mouth stinks; I suggest you go gargle with the toilet cleaner."

Though Xiao Tian’s remark was softly spoken, it had a penetrating presence and captured the attention of everyone nearby.

"You!!" Enraged at the many eyes upon him, Chen Qiang’s face went beet red. He whipped out his phone, planning to call his security outside to regain his dignity.

Just as Chen Qiang was about to dial, several voices in unison were heard from one side.

"Young Master Xiao, what brings you here?"
