Parting her red lips, Li Qinghe, with a burning face, directly took Xu Fan's earlobe into her mouth.

The tip of her tongue entwined with his earlobe, sending a jolt of forbidden excitement through her, making Li Qinghe feel a wave of shame.

She wasn't sure if it was the environment or the man himself that was so enchanting, but she couldn't believe she had done such a thing at such an event.

Li Qinghe was now embarrassingly clinging to Xu Fan, thinking that if word got out, no one would believe it.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, the music in the dance hall came to an abrupt halt.

Li Qinghe was startled and subconsciously, she stopped what she was doing.

With the music masking her actions before, she hadn't realized how bold her action was, but now seeing her leg coiled around Xu Fan like a serpent, she almost died from embarrassment...

Feeling guilty, she immediately stepped back a few paces.

"I didn't expect, when you asked me to be your bodyguard, this was what you had in mind."

"You!"

Feeling ashamed, she was about to cry as he came over to tease her!

If she had known she would do something so embarrassing, she would never have come to the bar!

"Why has it stopped?"

"What's happening?"

As the music in the dance hall stopped, many patrons began to complain. Under the puzzled gazes of the crowd, a very trendy host took to the stage nearby.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have an event at our bar today. If you're interested, you can all come up and participate soon!"

"What kind of event is it?"

"Right! Don't interrupt our dancing! We'd rather dance than participate in events!"

The host didn't care about the guests' complaints from the dance floor. He smiled and then made a signal to the princesses of the bar.

The bar princesses then carried their gift trays onto the stage.

"First, take a look at the prizes for our event! Third place, an LV bag worth fifty thousand! Second place, a consumption card worth one hundred and fifty thousand from our bar! First place..."

Just the second and third place prizes were already quite lavish, and as the host deliberately built up suspense, customers inside the dance hall nearly cursed in frustration.

"A diamond ring worth eight hundred and eighty thousand!"

As the host lifted the red cloth from the gift tray, a sparkling diamond ring lay quietly on it.

"This..."

An eight hundred and eighty thousand diamond ring was no small sum for many, and the crowd couldn't help but gasp.

Even many of the women in the dance hall's eyes nearly lit up with excitement!

They seemed like they wouldn't hesitate to go on stage and perform a striptease if it meant getting the ring.

"Brother, what's the event about? Stop keeping us in suspense!"

"Exactly! Just tell us! I'm definitely going to participate anyway!"

Even though the music had stopped, the atmosphere in the bar was still buzzing, fueled by the three valuable prizes.

The host chuckled and then explained, "It's simple! A kissing competition!"

"Whoever lasts the longest will be the most impressive! And the better the prize they'll receive!"

"It's open to both men and women, feel free to pair up! Couples are even better! Of course, don't force anyone, or our security will have to throw you out."

A kissing contest was a familiar event to many, and as the host explained, a lot of people immediately understood.

Couples, without hesitation, surged onto the stage and, tempted by the valuable prizes, many temporary couples were formed.

Men and women, even same-sex pairs, were among the couples.

From below the stage, Xu Fan watched with amusement and couldn't help but smile.

He understood why this bar was the hottest in Lan Kwai Fong. With so much money thrown into an event, how could it not be popular?

The diamond ring worth 880,000, for a top-tier celebrity like Li Qinghe, wouldn't amount to much, and Xu Fan guessed she must be among the few uninterested ones.

"Hmm?"

Lost in thought, Xu Fan unconsciously glanced over at Li Qinghe.

That look, left him dumbfounded…

At this moment, Li Qinghe was staring intently at the diamond ring on stage, her eyes filled with desire, no less than that of any other woman present.

Well… it seemed he had underestimated women's longing for shiny objects.

"Do you want it?"

Gazing at the diamond ring on stage, Li Qinghe was daydreaming when she heard Xu Fan's question and came back to reality.

For her, the significance of a diamond ring far surpassed its monetary value.

Earlier, when endorsing Xu Fan's XD Jewelry, she had suggested that he give her the first of Gelangqiao's ten love-themed jewelry designs.

However, she had been rejected by Xu Fan.

Back then, she indeed felt some disappointment, but later thought that even if it was a design by the master Gelangqiao, even if it involved the theme of love, it still had nothing to do with her...

Since then, Li Qinghe's interest in jewelry had been minimal.

But now, she found herself intensely drawn to the diamond ring.

If she were to join him, and together they overcame the competition and won that diamond ring, it would become the most precious treasure in the world to her!

But...

She was indeed yearning for it, but thinking about the nature of the competition, Li Qinghe felt hesitant.

To kiss this guy in front of all these people, and for an extended period at that, seemed utterly embarrassing.

Just moments ago, under the influence of the music, she had been bold, but now that she had calmed down, she really struggled to make up her mind.

"Hmm?"

Battling with herself on whether to muster the courage, suddenly, Li Qinghe felt her hand firmly grasped by someone.

Turning her gaze to Xu Fan beside her, seeing him suddenly seize her hand, Li Qinghe couldn't help but be startled.

"Xu Fan, what are you doing?"

Her heart pounding wildly, Li Qinghe fretted, wondering if he had guessed her thoughts.

Instead of answering Li Qinghe, Xu Fan started pulling her directly towards the stage.

"Xu Fan, no... don't, I, I..."

This bold move nearly terrified Li Qinghe!

Seeing all the eyes around her looking in their direction, Li Qinghe's face burned with embarrassment!

This guy, really... really annoying!

"Handsome, entering the contest? May I ask what your relationship is?"

Dragged forcefully by Xu Fan, Li Qinghe was practically hauled onto the stage.

Even with sunglasses on, Li Qinghe still dared not lift her head.

"She is my little wife."

Feeling anxious inside, she heard Xu Fan respond to the host's question.

What does he mean by little wife... uh...

Instinctively, she felt a wave of resistance to the title Xu Fan had given her.

But quickly, that resistance turned into shock.

Li Qinghe, astonished, lifted her head and looked at the smiling man beside her.

Did he... did he really want her to be his wife?
