Li Yundong turned his head and spotted a stretch limousine pulling up to the entrance. He said lightly, "I've seen enough luxury cars for one day. Are you still trying to provoke me?"

But at this moment, Feng Na and the others who had already gone inside came back out, curiously sizing up the incredibly striking stretch limo. However, given what had just transpired, both Feng Na and Cheng Cheng tightly sealed their lips, fearful of provoking Li Yundong further.

After a moment, a young woman in professional attire stepped out from the front of the car. She walked, eyes forward, to the rear of the vehicle and respectfully opened the door.

Everyone's eyes widened when a beautiful woman in formal wear emerged. She had an oval face, eyes like polished ink, and her hair was pinned high, giving her an air of solemn dignity and noble bearing. Especially the inherent grace of a well-bred lady that emanated from her every gesture, drawing gasps and murmurs from the onlookers, who began speculating about her identity.

Li Yundong caught sight of the woman at a glance and paused in surprise. He asked, "Isn't that CEO Yin Mengfan?"

Saying that, he suddenly understood something. He glanced back at Zhou Qin, only to see a faint smile playing on Zhou Qin's lips. But the moment his gaze met hers, the smile instantly vanished, and she too put on a look of pleasant surprise.

Li Yundong chuckled inwardly, shot Zhou Qin a look, and murmured low, "I'll settle accounts with you later!"

Zhou Qin secretly stuck out her tongue, exhibiting a rare flash of girlish behavior.

Su Chan, standing nearby, tugged her arm and whispered, "Sister Zhou Qin, did you invite CEO Yin?"

Zhou Qin hesitated. She knew secrets like this couldn't be kept under wraps forever, and deception was impossible, but she worried about making the younger girl overthink things. So, she tentatively nodded softly.

Unexpectedly, Su Chan burst into joy, gave Zhou Qin a hearty thumbs-up, and declared, "Sister Zhou Qin, you really are capable!"

Zhou Qin blinked, feeling a pang of shame. She smiled faintly and said nothing.

After stepping out of the car, Yin Mengfan let her beautiful eyes sweep across the surroundings. Upon spotting Zhou Qin, she smiled and started to approach, but a surprised exclamation came from behind her. It was Zhao Yougen, who had spotted her and rushed over, "Yin Mengfan? CEO Yin?"

Yin Mengfan turned around with a helpless expression and said, "Hello, CEO Zhao!"

Zhao Yougen enthusiastically extended both hands, "CEO Yin, are you here to support me too? Wonderful, this truly brings glory to my humble gathering! I specially invited you last time, but you politely declined due to being busy. How is it you suddenly have time today?"

Yin Mengfan lightly shook Zhao Yougen's hand and quickly withdrew it. She smiled, "Because I am here today to attend the opening celebration of a friend."

Zhao Yougen got carried away with excitement, not quite grasping the situation. "An opening celebration? Someone else is celebrating an opening today? Ha, what a coincidence!"

Yin Mengfan turned and pointed toward Li Yundong and his group behind her, smiling politely, "It's right here."

Zhao Yougen instantly looked bewildered, as if he couldn't believe his ears. "CEO Yin, are you... are you joking? That's not a funny joke!"

Yin Mengfan turned slightly and waved her hand at him. "I'm not joking, CEO Zhao. Please attend to your business first; I need to greet my friends."

With that, she gracefully walked toward Li Yundong and the others.

Zhao Yougen's face instantly flushed red, and he glared at Li Yundong in rage, his eyes conveying a wish to flay the flesh off Li Yundong immediately!

Feeling she owed Zhou Qin an explanation, Yin Mengfan directed exceptional warmth toward Li Yundong. She said with a smile, "Li Yundong, not bad, young and promising!"

As she spoke, the quick-witted woman beside her presented a square gift box, about a foot wide. Yin Mengfan accepted it with both hands and offered it to Li Yundong, smiling, "Just a small token, nothing worthy of mention. Please don't look down on it!"

Li Yundong chuckled, accepted the gift, and casually handed it to Su Chan beside him. He turned back to Yin Mengfan and said, "CEO Yin, you wound me with such talk. Even if you came empty-handed, I would feel honored!"

Yin Mengfan laughed, covering her mouth. "Is that so? I always thought of you as someone like a reclusive master, very mysterious! How is it that a master like you also values such things?"

Li Yundong laughed heartily and replied, "That can't be said! Even ascetics talk about the Four Emptinesses, but look at the Shaolin Temple—which face-saving project have they skipped? Where in this world can someone truly stand apart from worldly affairs? If one were truly detached, they'd starve to death!"

Yin Mengfan praised him. "Li Yundong, your words are candid and genuine, I like hearing them! You are so young and built this empire from scratch; I believe you will achieve something remarkable in the future. When you are famous and successful, don't forget your 'sister' me!"

Li Yundong cupped his hands and laughed, "You flatter me too much, just a joke! CEO Yin, please come inside!"

Yin Mengfan walked openly to Zhou Qin's side and whispered, "How were those compliments I paid him? Did I give anything away?"

Zhou Qin kept her eyes straight ahead but murmured softly, "Come on. Li Yundong is much smarter than you think. He saw through it long ago!"

Yin Mengfan started, whispering softly, "No way, where did I slip up?"

As the two were speaking quietly, the little foxes like Su Chan were pondering what Yin Mengfan's gift might contain.

Not just them, but even the people watching the spectacle on the pedestrian street were whispering guesses about Yin Mengfan's identity.

"Who is that woman? So beautiful!"

"I don't know, maybe a CEO?"

"A CEO? That beautiful? Are you sure? Isn't she a movie star?"

As they spoke, another car suddenly drove into the pedestrian street—a dazzling, fiery red Lamborghini.

Li Yundong paused when he saw the Lamborghini, thinking: Why is she here?

Feng Na, Cheng Cheng, and Su Chan all recognized the car. They also froze, exclaiming in surprise, "CEO Cao?"

Sure enough, before the flashy sports car had even fully stopped, the soft top slowly retracted, revealing two beautiful women. One was in the passenger seat, wearing sunglasses that nearly obscured half her face, looking around curiously at everyone.

The woman driving also wore sunglasses, but after stopping the car, she looked in Li Yundong's direction, then slowly removed her glasses, watching him with an expression that was neither smiling nor frowning, utterly silent.

Seeing her look at him like that, Li Yundong felt a headache coming on and rushed forward, stammering slightly, "CEO Cao, why, how did you get here?"

Cao Kefei was wearing a low-cut evening gown, dressed formally as if attending a grand banquet. The valley between her high bosom was deeply set with a fiery red gem, which accentuated her fair skin, making her exceptionally seductive.

Hearing Li Yundong's voice, Cao Kefei's body trembled slightly. Suddenly, she felt something crystalline threatening to spill from her eyes, but thankfully, having navigated the entertainment industry and commerce for years, her control over her emotions was finely honed. She took a deep breath and forcefully stabilized her agitated feelings.

Cao Kefei cast a slightly reproachful glance at Li Yundong, then glanced toward the car door. "Are you just going to stand there looking foolish?"

Li Yundong knew that disappearing without a word was inappropriate, especially since he had caused quite a few troubles in the past that Cao Kefei had smoothed over for him. He felt a degree of guilt.

Li Yundong said with a smile, "Didn't your car doors open automatically?"

Cao Kefei pouted like a little girl, "I want you to open them for me!"

Li Yundong laughed helplessly. "Alright, alright!" Saying this, he reached out and pulled open the scissor door.

Cao Kefei gracefully stepped out of the car, then pointed to the girl in the passenger seat who was curiously observing Li Yundong. "And her too!"

Li Yundong offered a wry smile. "Fine, opening one door is the same as opening two!"

Cao Kefei laughed. "Don't be ridiculous; countless men would pay good money just for the chance to open a door for her!"

Li Yundong laughed heartily. "In that case, I shall partake in some prestige today!" Saying this, he walked to the other side of the Lamborghini.

By this time, Zhao Yougen was stunned, standing there like a wooden statue, his mind in chaos: Why is Cao Kefei here? Wasn't she filming in Hainan? And who is that girl beside her? She looks somewhat familiar?

Seeing Zhao Yougen standing in the way, Li Yundong spoke without politeness, "CEO Zhao, could you please move aside?"

Zhao Yougen staggered back two steps in confusion, still staring blankly at the girl.

This girl hadn't taken off her sunglasses like Cao Kefei, but her dark eyes diligently studied Li Yundong from behind the coffee-colored lenses. After Li Yundong opened her door, she gently extended her snow-white, delicate hand; her gesture was generous and natural, clearly accustomed to such situations.

Li Yundong paused slightly, somewhat confused when he saw her hand extended.

But he was no longer the green, inexperienced young man from Zhou Qin's first birthday party. Li Yundong quickly composed himself. He gently cupped the girl's hand with one of his own and smiled, "May I ask your name?"

A slight smile curved the girl's lips, and she said softly, "No need for formality; my surname is Liu."

Li Yundong nodded and led her into the shop. After nodding to the others, the girl seized an opportunity and whispered softly to Li Yundong, "Your hand is so broad, and so warm!"

Li Yundong smiled faintly and replied courteously, "Thank you!"

Seeing that Li Yundong was warm and friendly to everyone else but very polite—almost distant—toward her, the girl asked curiously, "Are you and CEO Cao lovers?"

The girl's voice was soft, but the question was bold and tricky. Li Yundong smiled bitterly and stated seriously, "No!"

The girl then asked, "Then do you have a girlfriend?"

Li Yundong smiled, "I do."

The girl let out a small sound. She noticed that Li Yundong barely glanced her way, not even looking at her twice. She studied him curiously and asked, "Don't you want to know who I am?"

Li Yundong smiled. "Who are you?"

The girl lightly took off her sunglasses, put her hands behind her back, and smiled openly, "Recognize me now?"

The moment she removed her sunglasses, Zhao Yougen, who had been watching from outside, suddenly exclaimed, "That's Liu Fei'er! Why is she here!"

The surrounding people heard this and became instantly agitated. "Liu Fei'er? Where is Liu Fei'er!"

But some, slow to process, asked confusedly, "Liu Fei'er? Who is that?"

Someone in the crowd immediately retorted, "Are you an idiot? You don't know Liu Fei'er? She's a superstar! Don't you watch TV, don't you watch movies? Are you from outer space?"

Li Yundong also recognized Liu Fei'er at this moment, but he deliberately made a surprised sound and said, "I know, you're Li Bingbing!"

The smile on Liu Fei'er's face instantly froze.

Li Yundong fought back a laugh and continued, "Then you must be Fan Bingbing?"

Liu Fei'er glared at him in annoyance, then walked over to Cao Kefei, linked arms with her, and whispered into her ear, "CEO Cao, this 'master' you spoke of doesn't seem very 'masterful'!"

Cao Kefei smiled slightly. "In what way isn't he?"

Liu Fei'er huffed, "In no way is he!"

Cao Kefei struggled to suppress her laughter and said, "You'll know how 'masterful' he is in a moment!"

As the two were whispering to each other, a tremendous clamor suddenly erupted outside: "Liu Fei'er, sign an autograph for me!"

"Fei'er, I adore you!"

"Liu Fei'er, I love you!"

Liu Fei'er and Cao Kefei were startled. Cao Kefei quickly snatched the sunglasses from Liu Fei'er's hand and put them back on her face. She couldn't help but scold, "Didn't I tell you not to take off your sunglasses! Now look, we have to run for our lives!"
