We are friends anyway.” Ximen Wudi said without caring: “I’ll treat you to a cup of coffee.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying that, this guy took a tissue, wiped the table clean, and let Lu Si sit down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We can’t be friends, at most just mutual appreciation, right?” Lu Si said: “Besides, who dares to be friends with a playboy like you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My playboy image is fictional, it’s exaggerated by others.” Ximen Wudi waved his hand: “I am a dedicated man.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know you are a dedicated man, but I don’t want to develop into a lover with you.” Lu Si looked very disgusted: “You don’t deserve it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, we met by chance, why do you look down on me?” Ximen Wudi said very depressed: “Besides, this sentence seems to be used to describe me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Si smiled beautifully, the smile was radiant, almost blinding: “You not only don’t deserve it, but you are also very hooligan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, you have no conscience saying that, right? I fought hard to help you resist for so long last night, isn’t it worth your gratitude and appreciation?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, a man walked to Ximen Wudi and Lu Si’s table: “Hey, brother, lend me five yuan, and when you check out, I’ll pay you back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked a bit thin, no more than 1.7 meters tall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Si looked at this guy’s build and laughed mockingly: “Is this the legendary thief?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thief?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Ximen Wudi’s eyes narrowed immediately, and a dangerous taste rose from his eyes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, no, brother, misunderstanding, misunderstanding!” The thief saw this, waved his hands repeatedly, his face flushed: “I absolutely didn’t do anything against my conscience, really, just temporarily short of money, I will make money soon, I will definitely pay you back!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ximen Wudi raised his eyebrows: “How do you make money?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy was also bored, starting to gossip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh, this…” The thief scratched his head: “I’m a stowaway.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stowaway!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ximen Wudi heard this reason and suddenly became excited!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He finally caught a piece of news!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Si saw this and covered her forehead: “I don’t want to tell you which aspect you are too strong in, causing people to think I like the strong.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ximen Wudi laughed, raised his right hand, and patted Lu Si’s shoulder: “Beauty, you really have great taste. A man as excellent as me was actually chosen by you, it really makes me feel honored.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His sentence could be described as stinky to the extreme, but it made Lu Si feel deep warmth and peace of mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I also hope we can always maintain this pleasant chat atmosphere.” Lu Si pursed her lips and smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course.” Ximen Wudi said: “Today, let’s treat it as our second date, how about that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, just, I’m afraid you don’t have money to pay the bill.” Lu Si’s tone carried playfulness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No problem.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two went out of the restaurant together and walked towards the nearby street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where do you like to play? Maybe I know a few shops with good reputations.” Lu Si asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, let’s find a quiet place to sit and talk, and by the way, tell my wife about you saving my life.” Ximen Wudi said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wife?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Lu Si was stunned: “You are already married?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s right.” Ximen Wudi said proudly: “My wife is very powerful, although she hasn’t married me yet, sooner or later she will become my wife.” \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy's face was truly thick beyond measure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What does your wife do for a living?\" Rose said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked very innocent, and hadn't even thought in that direction at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My wife, she is a singer, and she sings very well.\" Ximen Wudi smiled: \"You will definitely like her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rose's eyes flickered: \"Yes, I like singers, and I also like actors.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ximen Wudi said: \"Then let's go watch a movie first; coincidentally, a few movies were released recently, and it's said that the ratings are quite good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright then.\" Rose smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ximen Wudi had a sharp eye and was thoroughly familiar with the inside information of the film industry; otherwise, he could not have relied on his own strength to pull the Sun God Temple up and make it grow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you going to accompany me to watch a movie? Together?\" Rose looked at Ximen Wudi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes were like a galaxy, seemingly containing infinite tenderness, as if they could suck a person in, making it impossible for one to look away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This beautiful girl's appearance actually fit the standards of an Eastern girl very well, especially since she was wearing a black dress, which made her look even more dignified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, no problem; why would I decline that?\" Ximen Wudi laughed heartily and took the initiative to reach out his arm to wrap around Rose's slender waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is Seoul, be a little careful.\" Rose struggled slightly, but couldn't break free; instead, she was held even tighter by Ximen Wudi, so her pretty face turned red, and she couldn't help but chide: \"This is the street in the capital.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So what?\" Ximen Wudi chuckled: \"Anyway, no matter where we are, if I want to hug, I hug; no one can stop me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy was indeed a bit too arrogant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine.\" Rose wasn't angry, but her face turned even redder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are really quite beautiful,\" Ximen Wudi said: \"Much better than my previous girlfriends.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that so?\" Rose smiled like a flower: \"Then wouldn't your previous girlfriends be very miserable?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miserable by more than just a factor of one or two.\" Ximen Wudi said: \"I have a story with every one of them I've dated, and I don't think I'll be able to forget them in this lifetime.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm looking forward to hearing about it, to see if you were a scumbag before,\" Rose teased, not believing that Ximen Wudi would lie about such things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am very scummy, but I'm not a scumbag; I pity them.\" Ximen Wudi said: \"I'm not just ordinarily scummy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't believe it,\" Rose said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh, I will turn over a new leaf in the future.\" Ximen Wudi wore a look of deep remorse, then shook his head and said: \"Unfortunately, there's no chance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression was a bit sad; it seemed that, just as Rose said, he must have let down some girl in the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rose sighed softly and didn't say anything more, because... she saw a young woman with a slender figure walking over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, this figure's curves were devilish and full of temptation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside her, she was also carrying a handsome man in a white shirt and black trousers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This handsome man had short, golden, messy hair, a high nose bridge, and blue pupils like the deep night sky, making one intoxicated at a single glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first time Rose saw this man, she instinctively felt a sense of amazement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn't a face-con, but this man's looks were enough to kill the vast majority of Eastern women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a person of mixed heritage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello.\" Ximen Wudi greeted the man: \"My name is Apollo.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1380,"2026-06-15T03:02:23.300Z","2026-06-18T03:52:24.377Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","9d200decaf75f87dcc45cb630d62bcc76fffe0bdbb9d1527dfab157eb45dcf12","wuxia-shocking-the-empress-at-the-start-chapter-1357","wuxia-shocking-the-empress-at-the-start-chapter-1355",1409,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwuxia-shocking-the-empress-at-the-start-cover.jpg"]
