South Phoenix didn't say anything but sat down by the chair to watch whether he would win or lose the game of Go.
Although she had mentioned playing a game of Go with him a long time ago, they hadn't played together until now. South Phoenix was curious about Fifth Young Master Rong's skill.
As Fifth Young Master Rong made his move in the game, he temporarily set aside his phone and gently pulled South Phoenix onto his lap, making her sit there.
South Phoenix was taken aback. Why was she suddenly sitting on his lap, and what did it mean?
"Little one."
South Phoenix was no longer angry, and Fifth Young Master Rong appeared to be quite smug.
"Don't compliment other men in front of me from now on. Got it?"
South Phoenix didn't respond.
"Not even when I'm not around. You can't compliment other men. Understood?"
She remained silent.
Fifth Young Master Rong held her close in his arms, his dark eyes still on the phone as he continued playing.
He chuckled, "Daring to steal from me? He probably doesn't know how he's going to die!"
The battle on the game board was intense, with both sides fighting fiercely. Fifth Young Master Rong had a completely different style of play from South Phoenix. She preferred slow and strategic moves, while his style was wild, aggressive, yet with hidden finesse and deadly tactics.
As Fifth Young Master Rong focused on the game, he tilted his phone so that both of them could see the screen. South Phoenix couldn't help but glance at his serious expression.
She kept her attention on the game board, and being a skilled player, she could almost replay the entire game in her head.
Terrifying.
Fifth Young Master Rong's playing style was very different from hers. She liked to plan methodically, while he was more daring and unpredictable, with hidden killing moves.
Fifth Young Master Rong remained focused on the game. He brought South Phoenix's head closer to his chest and tilted the phone screen for both of them to see.
Then he teased, "Who dares to compete with me for you? He probably doesn't even know how he's going to die!"
In the end, Fifth Young Master Rong narrowly won the game.
South Phoenix raised an eyebrow in mild surprise.
He lazily put down his phone, and the sleeve of his pajamas rolled up slightly, revealing his perfect arm. He leaned forward, getting closer to her. South Phoenix held her breath as he brought a glass of milk to her lips.
Before long, Fifth Young Master Rong's phone lit up again. He picked it up, a contemptuous smile on his lips, and answered the call.
The voice on the other end said, "Master Rong."
"Is this Mr. Mo?" Fifth Young Master Rong responded casually.
Mo Sha Tian's voice carried a hint of a smile. "Master Rong, you've come to West City, and yet you haven't met an old friend. What have you been busy with lately?"
Fifth Young Master Rong hugged South Phoenix tighter, "I'm busy enjoying my time with my woman. What else?"
"They say you're not interested in women. When did you get a woman?" Mo Sha Tian asked.
Fifth Young Master Rong's face turned dark, and he spoke with a hint of a dangerous edge in his voice. "Do I need to report to you?"
Mo Sha Tian chuckled, "Of course not. I was just curious about your relationship with Miss Ye Nanhuang."
Fifth Young Master Rong's expression darkened further, and he gave South Phoenix a sharp look. South Phoenix returned his gaze with a stern one.
"Xie Ziran is my cousin!" South Phoenix explained.
Fifth Young Master Rong raised an eyebrow, "He's still a man."
South Phoenix couldn't help but miss the way he looked when he acted like a dog yesterday.
"I went to a bar, and Xie Ziran was concerned that I might get into trouble, so he asked me to use his girlfriend's name."
Fifth Young Master Rong had an urge to smoke. His face turned black. "Am I not a person?"
He was her legitimate boyfriend, so why did she use someone else's name with the word "boyfriend"?
South Phoenix suppressed a smile.
"Xiaofeng, you now seem more like a gangster than Mo Sha Tian."
Fifth Young Master Rong walked to the balcony, opened the window, and lit a cigarette.
After a while, he finished the cigarette, rinsed his mouth in the kitchen, and then went to his room. He rummaged through his dirty clothes from yesterday and found a jewelry box. He opened it and took out a discreet and exquisite ladies' mechanical watch.
He picked up the watch and walked over to South Phoenix. Without saying a word, he placed it on her wrist, then sat down on the sofa to watch TV.
South Phoenix looked at the watch on her wrist, which matched the one on Fifth Young Master Rong's wrist. They seemed to be a pair.
Fifth Young Master Rong sat on the sofa, leaning forward with his arms resting on his knees, watching TV but lost in thought.
After a while, he muttered to himself, "I shouldn't have been so low-key."
South Phoenix remained silent.
In the afternoon, South Phoenix drove to the location of the medical association, and Fifth Young Master Rong lazily sat in the passenger seat.
Perhaps because of the incident with Mo Sha Tian and Xie Ziran in the morning, Fifth Young Master Rong appeared deep in thought as he gazed out of the window.
His face still looked a little dark.
When they arrived at the entrance of the medical association, many people had already gathered there.
After parking the car, South Phoenix and Fifth Young Master Rong got out.
Fifth Young Master Rong, with his tall and imposing figure, stood at 6 feet 4 inches, his handcrafted designer suit exuded a casual elegance, and his face was slightly
contracted, giving off an air of intimidation without anger.
Just standing there, he instantly attracted the attention of many.
South Phoenix led the way, and she quickly spotted Xie Ziran. Xie Ziran also saw her and waved enthusiastically.
"South Phoenix! Are you here to watch the medical association's assessment too?"
South Phoenix shook her head and looked around. "I'm here to participate in the assessment. There are so many people here."
Xie Ziran smiled, "Yes, you should be here for this. The West City Medical Association is well-known in Z Country. Its status in West City is almost unmatched. The assessment is open and transparent, and there are many scenes to watch. That's why so many noble families have sent people. Although there are a lot of people on the scene, not all of them are here for the assessment. Many just came to watch."
South Phoenix glanced around and spotted Crown Prince Song and Zhong Ya having a conversation nearby.
She also saw several other wealthy families that had appeared at Mrs. Bo's birthday banquet.
Lastly, she noticed Bo Shen and Mu Yun not far away.
