Chapter 1119 - 1119 1119 The Capital's Crown Prince Circle (2)

1119: Chapter 1119: The Capital’s Crown Prince Circle (2) 1119: Chapter 1119: The Capital’s Crown Prince Circle (2) Growing up, Zhou Tingting and Qi Shilong had always had a decent relationship, and she had never spoken to him in such a harsh tone before.

Therefore, Qi Shilong was both surprised and furious at her words.

Qi Shilong was three years older than Zhou Tingting.

Since he first laid eyes on the incredibly adorable little girl over a decade ago, he had taken a strong liking to her.

As she grew up and inherited her mother’s beauty, Zhou Tingting became exceptionally stunning, a top-tier beauty among the children of the capital’s elite.

Naturally, Qi Shilong’s fondness for her had turned into love.

Grandpa Zhou had only one granddaughter, Zhou Tingting, and it was no exaggeration to say he treasured her like a pearl.

Moreover, Grandpa Zhou had no particular factional affiliations, yet his prestige in the military was unparalleled, making him a sought-after figure by all the bigwigs, including the Qi family.

Therefore, they strongly supported Qi Shilong’s pursuit of Zhou Tingting, whom he had long considered his own.

However, seeing a boy far more handsome than himself being so close to Zhou Tingting was something Qi Shilong simply could not accept.

Despite growing up together, he had never even held her hand, let alone allowed someone else to get ahead of him.

Nevertheless, while he was angry, Qi Shilong did not dare to take it out on Zhou Tingting.

Instead, he shifted his focus to the boy who irked him so much.

“Tingting, I’m sorry for being too abrupt just now,” Qi Shilong said, his face a picture of politeness despite his inner rage.

He first apologized to Zhou Tingting and then turned to Ye Fei, “May I ask for your name?

I’m Qi Shilong.

You must have heard of ‘North Qi, South Ye.'” Though his words were calm, Qi Shilong had no intention of being friendly with Ye Fei.

Anyone who could be a guest at the Zhou residence must have some background, but Qi Shilong, being the grandson of Grandpa Qi, saw himself as someone akin to a young prince or crown prince in ancient times.

He certainly didn’t put others in high regard.

“Never heard of it.

I’ve read novels with ‘North Qiao Feng, South Murong, ‘” Ye Fei replied indifferently.

He had no particular animosity towards Qi Shilong.

Spoiled rich kids like him, despite being older, seemed like naive children to Ye Fei.

However, since Qi Shilong had shown hostility first, Ye Fei wasn’t about to indulge him.

“Come to think of it, it does sound similar, but the ‘South’ and ‘North’ are reversed,” Zhou Tingting interjected, inwardly mocking Qi Shilong’s arrogance.

Almost everyone in the country knew Ye Fei by now.

Qi Shilong, while trying to elevate himself by associating with Ye Fei’s fame, didn’t even recognize him.

His self-importance was truly at a whole new level.

Hearing Zhou Tingting’s words, Qi Shilong’s expression froze.

Anyone who had read novels or watched TV knew that Qiao Feng was a true hero, while Murong was far inferior in both martial arts and demeanor.

By saying the ‘South’ and ‘North’ were reversed, Zhou Tingting was implying that ‘North Qi’ was far less than ‘South Ye’.

Qi Shilong was inwardly annoyed, but since Zhou Tingting had said it, he couldn’t lash out.

Instead, he pretended not to understand and changed the subject, “Tingting, the gathering starts at eight.

Shouldn’t you go change clothes?

Let’s get going.” Knowing the time was running out, Zhou Tingting said to Ye Fei, “Brother Ye Fei, wait for me a moment.

I’ll be right back after I change.” She then ran upstairs without even acknowledging Qi Shilong.

After Zhou Tingting left, the living room fell silent.

Ye Fei, uninterested in dealing with a spoiled brat like Qi Shilong, took out his phone and started playing a game.

Qi Shilong, though seething with anger and wanting to tear Ye Fei apart, knew he had to hold back.

This was the Zhou residence, after all.

Moreover, despite being younger than Zhou Tingting, Ye Fei was far more physically imposing than him.

Any attempt to use petty tricks, like a handshake, would likely backfire.

So, he decided to bide his time and find an opportunity later to settle the score.

Zhou Tingting had said she would be quick, but Ye Fei ended up waiting for a good fifteen minutes.

However, the wait was worth it.

When she finally came downstairs, she had applied light makeup and changed into clothes that suited her figure perfectly.

Already a rare beauty, she now looked even more radiant and stunning.

Ye Fei simply admired her beauty, while Qi Shilong was taken aback.

In his mind, Zhou Tingting had always been plain-faced and never wore makeup.

She looked even more beautiful now, but he wasn’t in the mood to appreciate it.

Instead, he felt a pang of jealousy.

“A woman adorns herself for the one she loves,” he thought.

She had never worn makeup before, but today, with this guy around, she had made the effort.

It was obvious who she was trying to impress.

Ignoring Qi Shilong completely, Zhou Tingting was delighted by the admiration in Ye Fei’s eyes.

She walked over to him with a smile, took his hand, and said, “Brother Ye Fei, let’s go together.” Hearing Zhou Tingting invite Ye Fei, Qi Shilong wasn’t angry anymore.

He was quite pleased.

He had been looking for an opportunity to teach this annoying kid a lesson, and now it had presented itself.

With his status, he was the center of attention at the gathering.

Most of the young men there were his subordinates.

He could easily find a couple of them to help him vent his frustration.

So, he chimed in, “Yeah, you should come along and see for yourself.” “Sure,” Ye Fei agreed, not just because of Zhou Tingting’s invitation, but also because he thought that since this was a gathering for the younger generation, Song Ci might be there.

It had been over seven years since he last saw his adorable apprentice.

This was a perfect opportunity to surprise her.

As for Song Xuan, he might not be there.

Such gatherings were probably divided by seniority and age group, and Song Xuan likely wouldn’t attend.

After deciding, the three of them left the house together.

Outside the courtyard, there was an expensive sports car parked, presumably brought by Qi Shilong to pick up Zhou Tingting.

Seeing the car, Zhou Tingting went back and drove out another vehicle from her garage, saying, “Let’s go in two separate cars.

Brother Ye Fei, you ride with me.”
