"Husband!" Yang Qingqing hugged Yang Feilong's arm and called out affectionately.
When the switch between "brother" and "husband" happened was not something Yang Feilong could control; he was merely passively accepting and cooperating. His eyes flickered towards the two figures not far away. He could guess what had transpired with about seventy to eighty percent certainty, especially since he hadn't used his divine sense to scan the area earlier. Otherwise, he would have known everything even clearer.
However, he wouldn't idly use his divine sense. If there happened to be some powerful figure around, doing so would be a provocation. He wasn't invincible, so he naturally couldn't be so reckless.
"Wife, what's wrong?" Yang Feilong asked with a doting smile.
"I just took a fancy to a few pieces of clothing," Yang Qingqing said, pouting.
She was adorable and beautiful, showing no trace of affectation.
Since Yang Qingqing began cultivating the Tai Yin Shen Gong, her already exquisite beauty had gained an extra layer of temperament and charm, making her even more alluring.
Most men would feel inadequate in Yang Qingqing's presence and wouldn't even dare to strike up a conversation. Some who were confident in their talent or wealth might try their luck.
This was completely normal.
Therefore, although Yang Feilong had some minor annoyances, he didn't find it bothersome. After all, who would dislike their girlfriend being too outstanding?
"I'll buy them for you right away," Yang Feilong chuckled.
"Mmm, thank you, husband," Yang Qingqing nodded obediently.
Watching their affectionate display was like a knife twisting in Xu Wa's heart, painful and unbearable.
"Young Master Xu, perhaps we should leave. Her boyfriend seems rather extraordinary!" Wang Jin approached Xu Wa and reminded him with a grave expression.
He felt that compared to Xu Wa, this handsome man with an exceptional aura might be the true domineering CEO. Look at his demeanor, his presence, the confidence in his every move – things that Xu Wa, the伪装ed (pretend) domineering CEO, couldn't compare to.
Xu Wa was incredibly frustrated at this moment. The moment Yang Feilong appeared, his own spotlight was completely overshadowed.
And he was the boyfriend of this goddess, who was like a fairy?
He deserved it!
Xu Wa was very proud and naturally didn't think he was inferior to Yang Feilong.
To him, being preempted by Yang Feilong was merely because he knew this goddess a bit earlier.
He had glanced at Yang Feilong's attire earlier and noticed there were no brands. Perhaps he was just a small business owner. At such a young age, how could he possibly possess the wealth of his father? And his father's wealth, of course, would eventually be his. He was already managing some operations in his father's company, and in a few years, when his father retired, it would be his turn to take over.
He had forgotten about a type of clothing called bespoke or custom-made attire, which was incredibly expensive. His father had told him he would order two sets for him, and they were very costly. But he hadn't worn them yet and was unaware of the characteristics of such custom-made clothing. If he had known, he would never have looked down on Yang Feilong so easily.
The clothes Yang Feilong was wearing were made by Li Yufei, specially customized. Each outfit cost over a million, and several had been made.
Custom-made clothes naturally had no brands, but in terms of material, comfort, and fit, they were all top-notch!
Xu Wa had not yet reached that level!
His father owned several sets of custom-made clothes, but Xu Wa hadn't paid attention to them. He had only graduated from university a few months ago and hadn't been in society for long.
"Gentlemen, could you do me a favor?" Xu Wa asked again with a smile.
"Who is this?" Yang Feilong asked Yang Qingqing, feigning ignorance.
"I don't know him either," Yang Qingqing shook her head. "He stopped me earlier and said he needed help."
"Oh? May I know what favor this gentleman asked my girlfriend to help with?" Yang Feilong looked at him calmly, his expression detached and indifferent.
"It's like this. I see your girlfriend is very well-dressed. In a couple of days, there's a top-tier banquet I need to attend. So, I was wondering if your girlfriend could do me a favor and help me pick out an outfit. Of course, in return, I'll treat you both to a meal. What do you say?" Xu Wa said with a cordial smile.
However, his so-called cordial smile wasn't as natural as he intended.
Seeing the hand of the goddess he admired constantly hugging this man intimately, he felt incredibly stifled. In his heart, the woman he desired would definitely be his girlfriend in the future.
Endure it!
Right now, the goddess wasn't his girlfriend yet, otherwise, the image he had painstakingly cultivated would be ruined!
And the banquet he mentioned was indeed real; his father was planning to take him to broaden his horizons.
"A top-tier banquet?" Yang Feilong's eyes flashed.
Li Yufei had told him that high-society events were often held in Lan Hai City, and attendees were wealthy and influential figures. There would be a top-tier banquet soon, and Li Yufei was on the invitation list. She had asked Yang Feilong if he wanted to go, but he had declined.
He didn't have time to attend such so-called top-tier banquets.
"All the attendees are jewelry industry magnates with assets exceeding a billion. I clearly don't have the qualifications, but my father is on the invitation list. Although I'm somewhat inadequate, as the only son, I must go and broaden my horizons, especially since I will inherit the family business in the future," Xu Wa said with a semblance of shame, but a faint pride on his face.
His words, while seemingly self-deprecating, actually highlighted several points: first, his family was in the jewelry business, with assets over a billion; second, although he was inadequate, as the only son, he would inherit a family business worth over a billion, indicating a promising future.
Yang Feilong smiled in surprise upon hearing this. He didn't say anything. He hadn't expected that the so-called banquet he mentioned was the same one Li Yufei had spoken of.
Since they were in the jewelry business, the magnates attending the banquet were naturally those related to the jewelry industry.
Yang Qingqing, seeing Yang Feilong's lack of response, felt a bit displeased. She disliked seeing people show off in front of her man.
So, Yang Qingqing pretended ignorance and asked, "Husband, has the jewelry company you founded surpassed twenty billion in assets yet? Were you also invited?"
"I was invited, but I'm not planning to attend," Yang Feilong said with a smile. His sister naturally wanted to put him in his place, and he was happy to play along. Honestly, he had no interest in listening to Xu Wa's boasting. Wouldn't it be more enjoyable to spend time shopping with his sister, having meals, or watching a movie?
Upon hearing this, Xu Wa's expression stiffened.
This unassuming guy was actually a magnate with assets over a billion?
Well, between love rivals, one naturally viewed the other with a dismissive eye. He considered Yang Feilong unremarkable through his own unique filter.
"May I ask what company you founded?" Xu Wa asked, forcing himself to remain calm.
"It's a small company, called Yu Long Jewelry. Have you heard of it?" Yang Feilong asked with a smile.
Xu Wa's face stiffened again. He had heard of it. Because he managed some of the company's operations, he was aware of the incredibly famous Yu Long Jewelry Co., Ltd., which had recently risen in the jewelry industry. The speed of this company's rise made his father feel threatened, as it had been able to rival their family in just a few months.
Furthermore, he knew that the founders of this company were a couple, both very young, with the man being exceptionally handsome and the woman being as beautiful as a celestial being!
It clicked. Could it be the two in front of him?
And they called it a "small company"? Were they making fun of him?
Yu Long Jewelry's valuation was now comparable to their family's. His father's jewelry company had been developing for nearly twenty years, and this company had caught up in just a few months. In the future, their family might have to tread carefully around them.
At this moment, Xu Wa wished he could turn around and leave immediately.
But that would be too embarrassing!
