Qin Fangtan took someone with him to the fitting room, but didn't stay for long before leaving.

Zhou Xun picked out a black suit because he knew the other party would be wearing a gray suit, so that when they walked together...

Her haggard face showed a trace of astonishment, even Zhou Xun himself found it hard to believe. How could he have such thoughts...

Did I make a mess of it myself...

Zhouding settled his thoughts and looked at the gray suit intently, as if he had just remembered something. He hung the suit back and chose a white one instead.

When he left, the sun was shining brightly, with that stifling summer heat hitting him directly. After taking just a few steps, Zhou Xun felt as if ants were biting at his wounds, causing an unbearable itch and pain.

As he walked through the courtyard, a furious voice reached his ears. He remembered this voice, it belonged to someone named Hong Yi...

Zhou Xun squinted his eyes and hid behind the wall.

"Hongjie, what's the big deal with that guy named Zhou? Why do you have to get into a conflict with him? It's so hot today, and being exposed to the sun for too long isn't good for your skin. Let's go back inside!"

"I can't stand it. People as despicable as him have no qualifications to attend the evening banquet!"

"Hongjie, there have been too many banquets lately..."

"You know nothing!" Hong Yi raised his voice, his face becoming even more ugly. "If he goes, it will be as Fang Tan's companion appearing at the banquet. I disagree! The person who should attend the banquet is me!"

......

Listening to these words, Zhou Xun's face appeared somewhat unnatural. Qin Fangtan hadn't lied to him... He hadn't sent him there on purpose to humiliate him...

Since that's the case, then Little Ye...

His dark and serene eyes became profound. Zhou Xun looked down at the clothes in his hand, his warm face displaying a touch of iciness. It lasted only a moment before returning to its usual gentle and refined state.

He walked out, but with his head down, his steps floating, looking as though he was about to collapse. Just as he was about to reach Hong Yi, Zhou Xun pretended to stumble on a stone, staggered, and dropped the clothes he was holding.

Just as he was about to pick it up, a chilling voice shouted at him.

"Stop!"

Zhou Xun squinted his eyes, and the moment he looked up, he had an expression of confusion on his face. "Do you need something?"

Hong Yi paid no attention to the person and reached out to grab the suit. The more he thought about the banquet the day after tomorrow, the angrier he became. He slapped the person across the face.

"You're quite proud, aren't you?"

Zhou Xun didn't get angry, he just calmly said, "Please give me back the things."

"Hmph, what qualifications do you have to attend the banquet? If it weren't for Fang Tan's soft-heartedness, you would have long become a cheap slave played with by others! Let me tell you, you cannot afford someone like Qin Fangtan!"

Zhou Xun looked at the person in front of him and caught a glimpse of the two servants walking towards them. He chuckled lightly, his words carrying a hint of meaning, "I have never pursued him, it's just that he likes my worthless body too much. And... it's not that I want to go to the banquet the day after tomorrow, but he ordered me to go. It's a command that I can't resist."

The provocative words completely enraged Hong Yi. She looked at the indifferent person in front of her, hatred filling her eyes. How dare such a disgusting person utter such words!

"Zhou Xun, you're fucking disgusting!"

Ke Fangtan likes it.

The two words "Fang Tan" drove Hongyi to lose her rationality. Her entire face twisted, and she slapped Zhou Xun once again, causing him to stagger back a few steps as if unable to withstand the force.

The two maidservants naturally saw it and were startled, quickly going up to investigate.

"Miss Hong Yi, what is happening?"

Without even looking at Hong Yi, the two of them, with a cold expression, said, "Do you want to intervene even when I am reprimanding a dog?"

One of the servants said, "Miss Hong Yi misunderstood. Master Qin once said that besides him, nobody is allowed to touch Sir."

Hong Yileng snorted disdainfully and pointed at the pale-faced person with a mocking smile, "Are you suggesting that my position is even lower than his?"

It is not so. Miss Hongyi's lesson is certainly reasonable, but if she does not have Mr. Qin's permission, hurting Mr. is tantamount to violating Mr. Qin's taboo.

Hong Yi stared at Zhou Xun with a sly and frightening expression. His face was as dark as it could be. The little lackey by his side became extremely worried, his face scrunching up into a frown. If what the servant had said was true, and if Master Qin were to find out, he would surely skin these insignificant little people alive!

"That... Sister Hong, shall we go..."

Hong Yi glanced at the person behind him, with a look of disgust. "Useless thing, there's nothing to be afraid of. I don't believe Qin Fangtan can do anything to me!"

Upon hearing this, the assistant became even more anxious and whispered in the person's ear, "If Master Qin finds out, won't Red Sister's image in his eyes be completely ruined?"

Hong Yi could imagine herself looking shy and coquettish in front of Fang Tan. If this incident were to ruin her image in Fang Tan's heart, it would be really unworthy.

Even though she was unwilling in her heart, she could only give up. Hong Yi glared fiercely at Zhou Xun and sneered, "Fine, I'll spare you for the sake of Fang Tan's face. As for this clothing, if you want it, go pick it up yourself!"

Finishing his words, the person walked to the edge of the pool and without any hesitation, threw his clothes into the pool. Before leaving, he even revealed a smug smile.

Both servants frowned, and the older one said, "Sir, there's no need for you to worry. I will send someone to retrieve the clothes shortly."

Zhou Xun shook his head and said, "I'll go, so as not to make him unhappy if he finds out later."

After saying that, the person jumped into the water.

The two servants quickly arrived at the escalator and saw someone holding clothes, preparing to go up the escalator, so they reached out and pulled a hand.

"Thank you."

"Sir, there's no need for such politeness from you, really..."

Zhou Xun smiled but didn't say anything.

The maid took the clothes and said, "Sir, please go to the infirmary and get some medicine. Leave this matter to us."

Zhou Xun nodded and said, "I'll trouble you all."

"The gentleman's well-being is important. The steward is still waiting for us, so we should leave first."

"Uh."

Watching the figure disappear into the distance, Zhou Xun gently touched his swollen cheek, his gaze turning dark.

He knew that Qin Fangtan hated him, but he was even more aware of the saying that goes, "When beating a dog, the owner's stance should be considered..."
