Mr. CEO Wants to Renew Our Contract-Chapter 779: Deeply Rooted Feelings (224)

The two inside exchanged a glance. Jun Li quickly asked, "Why did you start fighting?"

"Indeed, I provoked him first; I gave his head a wash with wine. At the end of the fight, neither of us won. After all, we are pretty equal in both age and cultivation, and it felt good to let off steam."

"Weren’t you going to the Emperor Palace to find a man you find appealing?" As soon as Jun Li finished speaking, she had no choice but to brace her hands on the edge of the bathtub.

"Not a single one caught my eye. Auntie, ordinary people indeed don’t know me, but finding someone who meets my standards also depends on timing."

"You have plenty of time. Go there every day, and I don’t believe not even one can catch your eye. You just went and came back so fast, go have another look." Jun Li truly didn’t want her lingering by the door eavesdropping.

Leaning against the door, Jun Xiangyi listened to the sound of splashing water inside, "Anyway, I can’t sleep. Fine, I’ll go again."

Hearing the footsteps fade away and the sound of the door closing from the outside, Jun Li, feigning calmness, finally exhaled and turned to glare at him, "You did that on purpose, didn’t you?"

"What did I do on purpose?"

Jun Li shifted slightly but didn’t spell it out, "Can’t even take a bath in peace."

...

Jun Xiangyi returned to the Emperor Palace, and wouldn’t you know, she did see a well-put-together man with a handsome appearance that finally caught her attention.

She thought to herself that this trip back was quite fruitful.

After observing for a good while, she saw several women approach him but he paid them no attention; Jun Xiangyi, feeling good about this, took the initiative to walk over.

The man seemed quite taken with her when he saw her.

As a Goddess of the Heavenly Clan, Jun Xiangyi had an ethereal beauty, naturally not needing mentioning, "Care to have a drink with me?"

The man lifted his glass, and Jun Xiangyi clinked hers against it.

"Are you here alone?"

"Indeed." Jun Xiangyi sipped slowly, "Do you have a girlfriend or a wife?"

"Take a guess."

Jun Xiangyi was straightforward, "If I could guess, would I need to ask you?"

"Darling, have you been waiting long?" At that moment, a long-haired girl came over to stand beside the man, eyeing Jun Xiangyi with a wary gaze, "I’m his girlfriend. Are you trying to pick up my boyfriend?"

Jun Xiangyi internally cursed her luck, but she said with Tan Xiao, "Yeah, that’s right. So little sister, you better keep a close eye on your boyfriend, or else your big sis might just steal him away, got it?!"

The long-haired girl didn’t expect her to be so brazen, "Don’t delude yourself."

"It was just a joke, don’t take it so seriously. If he was single, I might indeed be a bit interested, but since he has a girlfriend, let’s forget it. I’m this pretty; do I seem like I’d have trouble finding a man?"

She took out money to pay for the drinks, and incidentally, she paid for the man’s drink too.

"We have money," the girl said, "There’s no need for you to do this. Take back your money."

"Consider it a payment for chatting with me." Jun Xiangyi walked away, thinking to herself that she really shouldn’t have come back a second time this evening. Could it be that she was really so desperate for a man?

She could faintly hear the girlfriend complaining to her boyfriend, but she had already lost interest.

It wasn’t entirely because he had a girlfriend, but when she asked him if he had a girlfriend or a wife, if he was single and still made her guess, she wouldn’t mind; if he had a woman and still made her guess, that would show his disloyalty to his girlfriend.
