The man sitting on the edge of the flower bed was none other than Fang Yi.
At that moment, Fang Yi, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, had one shoe off, resting his foot on his other leg. He was rotating a finger between his toes, picking at them like a migrant worker.
It wasn’t long before some people arrived, and when Fang Yi looked up, it was Kong Mingkai and Ma Haigang.
Seeing this guy sitting on the edge of the flower bed picking his toes, Ma Haigang found it hard to believe that this guy had become the personal bodyguard of the president of Longtu Group, showing such lack of grace.
However, after seeing the displeasure on Kong Mingkai’s face, Ma Haigang realized that this guy was clearly there to disgust them.
Ma Haigang couldn’t stand it any longer and, before Kong Mingkai could speak, he pointed at Fang Yi and said, "Hey hey hey, what are you doing? This is a public place. Don’t pick your toes here, it tarnishes the city’s image. Get lost, now."
Fang Yi responded blankly, "May I ask if I am bothering you two?"
Ma Haigang replied, "You’re not bothering me, but you’re bothering Young Master Kong."
"Young Master Kong? Does he have a lot of holes in him?" Fang Yi still looked confused.
Ma Haigang was embarrassed, this man really had a way with words.
Before Ma Haigang could say anything else, Kong Mingkai had already stepped forward and stood in front of Fang Yi.
Kong Mingkai, looking down from above, eyed Fang Yi with disdain and disgust. In his eyes, Fang Yi’s toe-picking was downright repulsive.
"I don’t care who you are or why you’re here. I want you to apologize to me right now, immediately!" Kong Mingkai said coldly.
"Why?" Fang Yi asked.
"Because you’ve successfully disgusted me," Kong Mingkai replied.
"Ah, right," Fang Yi nodded, then suddenly stood up.
Kong Mingkai wasn’t quick enough to react as Fang Yi stood up. Instinctively, Kong Mingkai stepped back, but Fang Yi’s finger smeared across his face a few times.
Then, Fang Yi flaunted that finger with a mischievous smirk.
Kong Mingkai spat repeatedly. Seeing Fang Yi’s finger, his face went pale, then he squatted next to the flower bed, clutched his chest, and started retching violently, ending in a torrent of vomit. It was as wretched as it could be.
Fang Yi looked at his finger, like the renowned skill of Katou Hawk. It had quite the impact.
Meanwhile, Kong Mingkai was done vomiting. The bunch of roses he was holding had already been thrown on the ground. Kong Mingkai took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth, then threw it to the ground. He glared at Fang Yi furiously, as if he wanted to devour him.
"You... you..." Kong Mingkai pointed at Fang Yi and said viciously, "I’ll remember you. I’ll make you regret messing with me."
Fang Yi raised his hand, making a goodbye gesture: "Take care, no hard feelings."
Kong Mingkai left, not even driving away his expensive sports car, a BMW i8, because its front two tires were flat. So how could it run?
Thus, the noble Kong Mingkai had to flag down a taxi and leave in disgrace.
After Kong Mingkai left, Ma Haigang immediately came over, chuckling and said, "Mr. Fang, that was brilliant," and even gave a thumbs-up.
Fang Yi nodded, looked down at Ma Haigang who was shorter than him, and agreed, "Yeah, I am indeed a bit taller than you."
Then Fang Yi too chuckled, feeling immensely proud and said, "And he dares to compete with me for a woman, dreams of being my rival? Dream on, haha!"
Those last three laughs were just like the triumphant ones from a big boss in a TV drama.
But before long, the smile on Ma Haigang’s face suddenly froze, and then he winked at Fang Yi.
"Is there something wrong with your eyes, Ma Haigang?" Fang Yi felt that something was off with him.
Ma Haigang quickly raised his hand, feeling somewhat guilty, and pointed behind Fang Yi.
Fang Yi sensed something was amiss, and as if thinking of something, looked up at the sky and muttered, "It looks like it’s about to rain, alas, I need to go home and bring in the laundry..."
At that moment, a familiar yet icy voice came from behind, "What’s the hurry, relax, there are no clothes hanging on your balcony."
Fang Yi was embarrassed, but experienced in maintaining a thick face, he turned around and said right away, "Ah ha, what a coincidence, fate really can’t be blocked."
Shen Binnan still had the same frosty expression, she said with a half-smile, "It is quite a coincidence, I had just come out and already bumped into you, truly a blessing from heaven."
The way she said it was through gritted teeth, as if she wanted to tear Fang Yi apart alive, and Ma Haigang, being the third wheel between the president and her bodyguard, knew better than to get involved and without saying another word, turned and ran.
This was a matter between the president and her bodyguard, why should he stand there and look for trouble?
Fang Yi took a step back, not because he was afraid that Shen Binnan would hit him, but because he was afraid of hitting Shen Binnan if she tried to hit him.
"Why are you standing so far away?" Shen Binnan naturally noticed his movement.
"Distance creates beauty," Fang Yi replied.
"I’m not some venomous creature, I won’t eat you," Shen Binnan rolled her eyes subtly and asked, "When did you come back?"
"Not long ago, went straight to the company right after."
"Then why didn’t you come up to see me?" Shen Binnan seemed determined to get to the bottom of it.
Suddenly, Shen Binnan noticed a bunch of roses on the ground and her face showed a strange expression.
Fang Yi unapologetically said, "Not mine, some idiot bought them, but I scared him off."
Shen Binnan responded lightly, "I suppose you know, someone is pursuing me."
Fang Yi said, "Last time you mentioned someone proposed to you, was it that guy?"
Fang Yi showed a look of annoyance, "Damn, if I had known I wouldn’t have let him go, I should have given him a beating."
Seeing Fang Yi , the corners of Shen Binnan’s lips unconsciously curled into a smile, not because of anything else, she just enjoyed seeing Fang Yi embarrassed; it was quite amusing.
Shen Binnan said, "Let’s go."
Fang Yi was taken aback, "Where to?"
Shen Binnan, not even looking back, said, "Where else, naturally to take you home, everyone has left work at the company, it’s not like we need to go back there, right?"
Fang Yi made a sound of acknowledgment, first went to a nearby fountain to wash his hands, then followed Shen Binnan and got into her red Audi.
Just as Fang Yi had settled into the passenger seat, Shen Binnan suddenly took out two tickets from the dashboard in front of the car window and handed them to Fang Yi.
Fang Yi took a look and said, "Xu He’s ’Strongest on Earth’ concert?"
Shen Binnan had already started the car, nodded and said, "Yes, it’s tomorrow night. She gave me two concert tickets, invited me, and asked me to bring you along too."
