"No, you have to pursue me!"
Hearing this sentence, Ye Xuan's brain couldn't quite keep up. What was going on? He looked at her strangely.
There were actually people who demanded others pursue them. Was she that desperate for a man?
Lin Xue also realized that she had been a bit too hasty just now and misspoke. She quickly waved her hand to explain, "I, I didn't mean that. It's just that we seem to have a connection, and we could get to know each other."
Even her eyes were constantly darting around as she spoke. Did Ye Xuan believe her nonsense? There was probably something going on.
"Hey, what kind of look is that?"
Lin Xue felt embarrassed by the constant staring and finally spoke her mind.
"I just want you to be my temporary boyfriend. My family keeps pushing me to go on blind dates every day. I'm only twenty-three, what's with the blind dates? So..."
As she said that, she sized Ye Xuan up and down.
"I think you're a remarkable young man with extraordinary bones, and you're quite handsome. You drive a luxury car worth tens of millions. It's easy to take advantage of strangers like you. Taking you back would be enough to shut my parents up and save me from them constantly trying to introduce me to potential partners. I'm getting so annoyed just hearing about it."
Uh, was that explanation a bit too...
But how could you grab a random person so casually, without worrying about getting yourself completely involved?
Also, with your loli-like appearance, isn't that the exclusive preference of those creepy old men?
Lin Xue slapped Ye Xuan's arm and said, "If you help me with this favor, I'll forgive you for lying to me earlier, and I can also give you a formal chance to pursue me."
Lie to you? Ye Xuan was very curious. When did he lie? Getting the car repainted would indeed cost millions, he didn't lie.
As for pursuing girls, with his looks, plus the aura of a rich man, what girl couldn't he win over?
If he hadn't succeeded, it could only mean the money wasn't enough. As long as the money was right, he didn't care if you were human or not.
However, pretending to be Lin Xue's boyfriend wasn't out of the question. This girl's appearance, well, how should he put it, it did satisfy the special preferences of creepy old men, and most importantly, there was no three-year reprieve, maximum penalty: death.
He nodded in agreement.
Lin Xue jumped up and praised herself fiercely, never expecting that a problem that had been bothering her for so long would be solved so easily.
"I'll go apply for the job first. I'll call you when I need you!"
After speaking, she rushed towards the building like a whirlwind.
After separating from Lin Xue, Ye Xuan returned to the hotel to catch up on some sleep. He had gone to bed a bit too late last night and felt quite sleepy, almost falling asleep as soon as he hit the bed.
He didn't know how much time had passed.
Ding-dong, ding-dong!
The WeChat on the bedside table suddenly rang. Ye Xuan groggily picked it up and saw that it was He Yue, the girl next door.
He Yue: "Brother Xuan, are you free tonight? I'd like to treat you to dinner."
Immediately after, another message was sent, a location address.
"Huh, why did she run to the East Suburbs?"
Ye Xuan exclaimed in surprise. This location was clearly some distance from her residential area, at least twenty kilometers away.
However, he didn't think too much about it, replied with a message, then turned off his phone, went to the bathroom to wash off the dust, and drove to the location.
Because it was rush hour, there were a lot of cars, and he drove slowly, stopping and starting, taking about half an hour to reach his destination.
After getting out of the car, Ye Xuan was dumbfounded.
What was this? A street food stall?
Since it was He Yue's first time treating, he had specially dressed formally, in a full set of designer clothes. He suddenly felt like he had worn the wrong outfit.
Coming to a place like this, it would be more appropriate to wear a plain T-shirt and jeans to feel more relaxed.
Instead of being like him, dressed so formally, people would think something was up at first glance.
The sky was slowly darkening, and the lights on the old canopy of the street food stall shone brightly, illuminating the people coming and going.
The canopy was already filled with people, each table laden with food and beer, as everyone tried to escape the summer heat.
All kinds of noises entered Ye Xuan's ears, giving him a sense of familiarity. He had frequented places like this before, so he was naturally very familiar with them.
As for getting his nearly 100,000 yuan outfit dirty, so be it. It wasn't like he couldn't afford to buy another one, but he couldn't miss this atmosphere.
Following the location prompt, he stepped inside.
As for why He Yue had invited him to eat here, it was unlikely that she was short on money. He had just given her 100,000 yuan the day before yesterday, how could she not have money?
"Sir, are you here to meet a friend?"
As soon as Ye Xuan entered the street food stall, a man in his forties, holding a menu, greeted him. He seemed to be someone from the shop. Customers wouldn't casually strike up a conversation with diners entering the stall.
The man chuckled and looked Ye Xuan up and down.
"I not only know you're here to meet a friend, but that friend of yours is definitely a beautiful girl!"
How terrifyingly insightful, he could even guess that.
He gave a thumbs up and praised, "Uncle, you're amazing, you have an eye for talent. Did you study fortune-telling?"
"What fortune-telling did I study!"
The man laughed and explained.
"With your formal attire and being so young, you wouldn't come to a place like this for business. So, you must be here to meet someone you admire. Just now, that girl Yueyue said she was meeting a handsome guy, and I figured it had to be you."
So that's how it was. Ye Xuan was embarrassed, thinking the man could predict the future. Listening to the man's tone, he seemed to know He Yue, and he asked in surprise.
"Uncle, do you know He Yue?"
The middle-aged man waved his hand.
"Know her? Her mother learned her cooking skills from me, otherwise how could she open a small restaurant? Go on in, Yueyue is inside. There's air conditioning and a fan there, it's cooler!"
No wonder she was treating here, so she knew He Yue.
After a few steps, he saw He Yue sitting there with her chin in her hands, looking at her phone from time to time, not knowing what she was thinking.
In the dim light, the cool breeze from the fan blew on her hair, causing it to flutter gently. Now, she had an added touch of hazy charm, captivating people.
Ye Xuan's eyes were slowly drawn in, completely focused on He Yue.
The light makeup perfectly presented her flawless face. Her beautiful big eyes, delicate lips, and smooth, alluring white skin, anyone who saw her would have to praise her.
Perhaps hearing the sound, she raised her head, her bright eyes like a pool of spring water, meeting Ye Xuan's gaze.
"Brother Xuan, you're here!"
A delicate voice came from He Yue's mouth, and she immediately stood up from her seat, her face blooming like a hundred flowers, so beautiful that it attracted the attention of many people.
However, what happened next shattered the hearts of many.
He Yue took a step forward, came to Ye Xuan's side, and then, like a well-behaved girl, hugged his arm, revealing a happy expression.
