He Yu-Rou always dressed simply when she was in university and wasn't interested in branded goods. She had an elegant aura and went around without any makeup.
Back then, Chu Wen-Fei was clueless about her background. He was surprised that she turned out to be the daughter of the Jiangdong provincial secretary.
If he managed to win He Yu-Rou's favor, wouldn't that make him the son-in-law of the leader of Jiangdong?
Then he could trample Mufan Group and the King of Jiangdong under his feet.
Although Chu Wen-Fei had nothing to do with the Qiu family anymore, the moment he recalled how Ye Fan humiliated him repeatedly, it made him gnash his teeth angrily.
Even in his dreams, Chu Wen-Fei wanted to seek revenge on that repugnant Ye Fan.
After the Feast of the Sea and Sky, Chu Wen-Fei had also heard about Ye Fan being Mr Chu.
Hence, no matter how much he hated Ye Fan, he could only swallow it.
But if he managed to win He Yu-Rou's heart, then he wouldn't have to give a hoot about Ye Fan.
No matter how powerful Ye Fan was, could he be more powerful than He Lan-Shan?
One was a commoner, while the other was an official.
In Chu Wen-Fei's eyes, no matter how much limelight Ye Fan stole, he was only a self-proclaimed king who added up to nothing in reality.
However, He Lan-Shan was different since he had the country's backing.
If he wanted to destroy Ye Fan, he could do it anytime.
He Yu-Rou and the others walked along the pavement and slowly headed to turn towards the lake while Chu Wen-Fei was deep in thought.
The air was misty, and snow fluttered from the skies.
The rolling mountains looked like silver snakes while the plains were white.
Dongchang Lake looked sublime in the snow, like an ethereal fairy kingdom from a painting.
As they went further, they could vaguely see a man standing proudly at the center of the lake.
His body undulated along with the lake water.
If they looked carefully, they would discover that he was standing on a yellow leaf.
"He can stand on a leaf floating on the water without sinking? He can even stand on the lake without getting wet? My goodness! Who is he? Is he a god or something?"
Chu Wen-Fei and the others inhaled deeply in amazement as their pupils constricted and their eyes opened wide. They stared at the man as though they had seen a ghost as he stood loftily in the snow on the lake.
They had only ever seen such scenes on TV.
Now that they had witnessed it with their own eyes, they were amazed.
"Look over there! Is that a small boat in the lake?" said Tian Xiu-Xiu in shock when she noticed something.
Sure enough, a small boat was floating at the center of the lake.
And two beautiful women were sitting on it.
One of them was so graceful and elegant that she looked like a cherry blossom blooming in the winter.
The other woman was dressed in a kimono and had a perfect figure and resembled a gentle-looking beauty.
"They are gorgeous! They are like fairies from a painting!" said Chu Wen-Fei after getting intoxicated with a single glance.
Even He Yu-Rou felt inferior after seeing how stunning and graceful they were.
"Is this a mirage? Or is there really someone at the center of the lake?" asked Chu Wen-Fei quietly as his voice trembled.
Tian Xiu-Xiu and the others didn't know either.
"If we row over and take a look, we can see if they are real,” piped up one of them.
Chu Wen-Fei and his party really wanted to find a boat and get onto the lake to see it forthemselves.
"What on earth? Where did you kids come from? Are you crazy? What are you doing? Are you trying to row over on your own? The duel is going to be held here, so you can't go in. Do you want to die?" said someone from behind them.
