"Yang Longfei, how well did I do with this set of movements today?" Zhang Xinlan finished her routine and smiled at Yang Longfei as she collected her breath.

Yang Longfei was a striking man, around thirty years old, exuding an inexplicable charm that drew people to him unconsciously. His extraordinary demeanor made it hard to believe he was merely a yoga instructor.

"Not bad, your Yoga Skill is progressing quite nicely!" Yang Longfei was full of praise. "It's as if a Martial Artist has reached a new level of mastery in their kung fu."

"Really?" Zhang Xinlan smiled again and again, captivating and charming.

"Miss Zhang, I..."

Yang Longfei attempted to grasp Zhang Xinlan's hand, but she, seemingly anticipating this, evaded his grasp without leaving a trace.

"Yang Longfei, what is it?" asked Zhang Xinlan.

Zhang Xinlan appeared calm and composed, but in fact, even without Yang Longfei expressing it, she knew that this man fancied her.

"Today, it's just the two of us here. Don't you find that odd?" said Yang Longfei.

There were many members in the Yang Longfei Yoga Gym, and usually, several ladies would be practicing yoga together, but today the gym was quiet with only Yang Longfei and Zhang Xinlan present.

Zhang Xinlan didn't speak. She had been around the entertainment industry for a long time, knew how to navigate social interactions well, and understood what Yang Longfei was leading to.

"Miss Zhang, I like you!" Yang Longfei said to Zhang Xinlan, taking three steps back. "This is a gift I've prepared for you. I hope you like it!"

A powerful surge welled up from Yang Longfei, as his entire presence emitted a terrifying aura unique to Grandmasters!

"Boom!"

Yang Longfei's Gang Qi explosively surged, causing a wave of energy in the yoga room. The two large sacks in the corner of the room burst open.

Countless red roses flew out from the sacks creating two streams of rose fireworks. The dispersing petals were stunningly beautiful; such an original and impressive gift would certainly move any woman's heart.

However, once the roses had transformed into a rain of petals, they did not fall to the ground but were instead suspended mid-air by Yang Longfei's True Qi, forming a sea of roses in front of Zhang Xinlan.

"Do you like it?"

Zhang Xinlan stood on the edge of the sea of roses while Yang Longfei, across the sea of petals, gave her an enchanting smile.

"This really is an amazing surprise, I love it, thank you!" Zhang Xinlan smiled too, looking even more enchantingly beautiful against the backdrop of roses.

"Miss Zhang, from the first moment I saw you, I was hopelessly drawn to you!"

Upon seeing the beauty of Zhang Xinlan, Yang Longfei's heart uncontrollably stirred, his gaze turning intensely passionate in that moment.

"Today, I've finally mustered the courage to confess my feelings to you. Could you give me a chance, a chance to protect you for a lifetime?" Yang Longfei was full of hope. Even with his extraordinary background, he felt some trepidation in front of a peerless beauty like Zhang Xinlan.

"Thank you, but I don't deserve such devotion from you!"

Zhang Xinlan's smile remained, but after Yang Longfei's confession, Zhang Xinlan's expression turned cold.

"Phew!"

The rose sea that had been floating in the air crashed to the ground, and Yang Longfei came to Zhang Xinlan's side, gazing at her affectionately, "You are the most beautiful person I have ever seen. You are worth any effort on my part!"

"Heh." Zhang Xinlan offered a faint smile. "With all these scars on my body, where is there any beauty to speak of?"

As she spoke, Zhang Xinlan glanced at the knife scars on her body, as well as the ferocious scar on her arm.

Zhang Xinlan was wearing a loose T-shirt, which, even without trying to show, still allowed one to see the knife scars on her body.

"Even so, you are still the most beautiful in my eyes!" Yang Longfei declared.

Yang Longfei was quite fond of Zhang Xinlan. His attraction to her beauty was only one aspect; what drew him to her the most were the stories that had unfolded in her life, including the scars that adorned her body.

"My heart is dead, and I cannot make room for anyone else!" Zhang Xinlan shook her head, her words hinting at rejection.

Yang Longfei's eyes grew cold. He was an exceptional figure who ruled over his domain, one of the most powerful people in the world. Usually, he was placed on a high pedestal where everyone would bow and show respect upon seeing him. The glories and riches of the world, the plethora of beautiful women were all at his fingertips. Never had he been rejected like this.

However, despite the displeasure in his heart, Yang Longfei didn't show it. Zhang Xinlan was a woman unlike any other. He intended to thoroughly subdue this proud and beautiful woman, for only then would he achieve a floating sense of accomplishment.

"In this life, everyone encounters unpleasant things, but as time passes, our worries too will vanish like smoke in the air," said Yang Longfei, his voice bearing a trace of vicissitudes. "Give yourself a chance, and give others a chance too. Wouldn't that be nice?"

"Seeing how mature and sagacious you speak, it's as if you were a wise old sage!" Zhang Xinlan's eyes flashed. "I've known you for quite some time now, and I still don't know how old you really are?"

Zhang Xinlan knew this Yang Longfei was extraordinary; he must be someone of the same ilk as Ye Chen. However, under his youthful appearance, there seemed to be a heart that had experienced lifetimes.

"If you want to know my age, you should ask how many years I've seen!" Yang Longfei smiled. "But, if I tell you my real age, don't be scared."

"Heh, what are you, some centuries-old monster?" joked Zhang Xinlan with a laugh.

Zhang Xinlan's thoughts were scattered. Yang Longfei was certainly no ordinary man; she just didn't know if he would be willing to be at her beck and call.

"Not quite as exaggerated as a few hundred years, but I'm nearly a hundred years old, I guess?" Yang Longfei seemed contemplative. "I can't remember exactly how old I am; perhaps it's because I've lived too long. But, I must be at least 90 this year!"

"You really are an interesting person!" thought Zhang Xinlan, and then she laughed softly.

"I speak only the truth." Yang Shaolong said. "Miss Zhang, I truly like you. Would you be willing to spend the rest of your life with an old man like me?"

"With you being so old and me so young, what if you suddenly died one day, what would I do?" Zhang Xinlan laughed heartily.

"Do I look like someone who would die young?" Yang Longfei asked, sensing that Zhang Xinlan seemed somewhat receptive to him.

Yang Longfei's bold confession made Zhang Xinlan hesitate, contemplating whether or not to carry out that plan.

Zhang Xinlan, of course, had no feelings for this man; however, she still harbored resentment towards Ye Chen for choosing Liu Shihua. She wanted to create some trouble for Ye Chen.

"For me to spend my life with you is not impossible," Zhang Xinlan's beautiful eyes shifted. "However, you have to help me take revenge!"
