The night was deep, and Tang Xiaorou drove back to the villa.
“Why are you back so late today?” Ye Xuan asked, sitting on the sofa and munching on an apple.
“Mind your own business!” Tang Xiaorou snorted coldly, took off her sneakers, and put on a pair of cotton slippers.
“Tch, I couldn’t care less about you.” Ye Xuan couldn’t help but shake his head, turned around, looked at the disheveled Tang Xiaorou, and asked in a low voice, “Were you racing?”
“So what if I was?
What’s it to you?” Tang Xiaorou huffed impatiently, saying coldly, “Don’t think that just because we had something happen between us, you can really be my boyfriend.”
Ye Xuan ignored Tang Xiaorou.
Tang Xiaorou snorted, “Don’t forget your status, you’re just a security guard.
With a monthly salary of a few thousand Flame Coins, even if something really happened between us, we can’t be together.”
“…”
Ye Xuan was dumbstruck, immediately at a loss.
What on earth is she talking about?
All I wanted was for you to help me cook!
How did it get all mixed up with being together?
Goddammit!
What do girls have in their heads these days?
Maybe she really should go flush her brain out in the toilet.
Drain all that filth from her brain, and then calm down properly.
“Heh, Ye Xuan, I advise you to see reality clearly, to recognize the huge gap between us like clouds and mud.” Tang Xiaorou said with a hateful expression, her voice deep.
Getting involved with Ye Xuan was beyond her expectations.
But Tang Xiaorou knew in her heart that Ye Xuan wasn’t bad; that incident was indeed her fault.
Even so, she didn’t want any entanglement with Ye Xuan.
She was the precious daughter of the head of Tang Group.
She was meant to marry the Crown Prince of one of the four great families.
How could she possibly marry down to a lowly security guard?
Should we really not look down on a poor young man?
Heh!
How about reading fewer fantasy novels and living a bit more in reality?
In this world, there’s no such thing as hacks.
Power and influence are born, not earned through hard work.
Some people are born at life’s finishing line.
For example, the Crown Princes of the four great families in J City.
Some people are born without even seeing the starting line.
For example, the boy in flip-flops and big shorts in front of her, without any taste, all in cheap market clothes, the whole outfit worth no more than a hundred bucks, the security guard Ye Xuan.
Tang Xiaorou thought of these things, feeling agitated, she didn’t want to strike at Ye Xuan.
She didn’t want to tell Ye Xuan that no matter how hard he worked, he could not afford an apartment by the Buntan in his lifetime.
Couldn’t afford a Ferrari, couldn’t afford Prada, couldn’t afford Hermes, couldn’t afford so many things.
Isn’t it good to recognize reality?
Isn’t it good to be a decent security guard?
Why always daydream about those impossible things like a toad wanting to eat swan meat, marrying a rich and beautiful girl, becoming a CEO, and reaching the peak of life, is it interesting?
In that moment, Tang Xiaorou thought of many things.
There were things she needed to clarify with Ye Xuan.
She didn’t want Ye Xuan to use what happened between them as a threat to her.
“Ye Xuan, can you understand what I mean?” Tang Xiaorou rubbed her temples, feeling a bit tired, and asked.
Ye Xuan shook his head, saying thoughtfully, “Uh…
I actually just wanted you to help me cook a meal, I don’t know how to cook.”
“…”
Goddammit!
Tang Xiaorou’s mouth twitched involuntarily, her face not looking too good.
So, Ye Xuan sought her out just for cooking?
Damn it!
Why didn’t he say so earlier?
Could it be that all those words just now were entirely his hallucinations?
At this moment, a million “you motherfuckers” were running wild in Tang Xiaorou’s heart.
So embarrassing!
Tang Xiaorou couldn’t help but feel relieved.
Luckily she didn’t say those words out loud, or else, she’d be completely embarrassed today.
Too awkward.
“There are instant noodles in the fridge.
Can’t you just make them yourself?” Tang Xiaorou clenched her teeth furiously, questioning.
“I forgot.”
Ye Xuan shrugged, gave a helpless smile, and then said something completely unrelated.
“I just like beautiful women, no matter who you are, as long as you’re pretty, you’re qualified to be my wife.”
Upon hearing this, Tang Xiaorou almost spat out an old mouthful of blood.
“Tomorrow is Saturday, you don’t have to work, right?” Tang Xiaorou asked, forcibly suppressing her inner anger.
“Yeah.”
Ye Xuan nodded, then tore open the instant noodles and poured in hot water.
“Here, these are the clothes I bought for you.
I have a class reunion tomorrow, everyone is required to bring a date.” Tang Xiaorou threw the clothes to Ye Xuan, coldly smiling as she added, “Don’t overthink it.”
“Class reunion?
As long as there’s free food!” Ye Xuan took the clothes, tossed them aside, and started eating the instant noodles.
“Wow, these instant noodles are really quite tasty.” Ye Xuan ate with increasing gusto, saying with a grin.
“You’ve never had them?” Tang Xiaorou was shocked, wondering where exactly Ye Xuan was from, it must be such a remote place to have never even had instant noodles.
“Never.”
Ye Xuan chuckled, then said, “Back in the mountains, my master would either have me eat tigers or wild boars.
Things like ginseng were dessert after meals.”
“Usually when going on missions, we’d basically eat seafood.
Ao Li Country’s big lobsters, Deep Sea abalones, shark fins would all be used to rinse the mouth!”
Tang Xiaorou listened in a daze, feeling overwhelmed, she quickly said, “Alright, alright, if you keep going, you’d suggest eating polar bears.”
“Polar bears?
Their skin is too thick, too much fat, although I’ve eaten them a dozen times, I really don’t like them.” Ye Xuan shook his head, saying.
“…”
Tang Xiaorou was suddenly speechless.
This guy, he actually feels uncomfortable if he’s not bragging for a moment!
But how could she grasp Ye Xuan’s pursuit?
Show-off without form, brag in broad daylight.
That probably was Ye Xuan’s style!
“Ye Xuan, what exactly did you do before?” Tang Xiaorou asked curiously.
She really wanted to know what kind of job had led Ye Xuan to develop such a severe habit of bragging and showing off.
This might just be late-stage bragging and showing-off cancer.
Showing off as if having eaten chewing gums, unable to stop.
Bragging as if with dynamite strapped to a chicken, each sentence detonating with grandeur.
As if if he doesn’t brag or show off, he might die.
If bragging and showing off were to be taxed, then just from Ye Xuan alone, it would surely support Yan Country’s entire GDP.
“Killing people.”
Ye Xuan ate his instant noodles, replying with a grin.
“You’d better just stick to your instant noodles!”
Tang Xiaorou smiled bitterly with helplessness, then went to the bedroom to fetch a set of clothes, heading for the bathroom to take a shower.
…
Early the next day, Ye Xuan got up.
Having promised Tang Xiaorou to accompany her to the class reunion, Ye Xuan naturally wouldn’t break his promise.
Ye Xuan put on new big shorts, along with a pair of flip-flops covered with cartoon drawings, and a cotton T-shirt on top.
A fresh combo, an acidic style.
When Tang Xiaorou saw Ye Xuan, she immediately felt that choosing him as a companion for the reunions was definitely a mistake.
If she could take her decision back, Tang Xiaorou wouldn’t let Ye Xuan accompany her to the class reunion.
Goddammit, this is going to be humiliating when taken out!
A youth in his twenties, wearing cartoon flip-flops on his feet, a cotton T-shirt, wearing five Flame Coin shorts.
What kind of style is this?
Is this cosplay!
Even if it is cosplay, is there really such cheap cosplay?
This time, Tang Xiaorou was completely defeated by Ye Xuan.
Tang Xiaorou’s hair flowed down her shoulders, spraying Chanel’s latest fragrance, with a faint rose scent, wearing a classic red evening gown from Lan Country, with a pair of crystal pump heels designed by Allan Mi, and on her ears, a pair of silver earrings made by the famous master of Beihai Country.
Like a princess.
“Why aren’t you wearing the suit I bought for you?” Tang Xiaorou looked at Ye Xuan with anger, questioning.
“That’s why I say you don’t recognize good stuff.
These clothes I’m wearing may look ordinary, but they’re actually dozens of times more expensive than the clothes you’re wearing!” Ye Xuan smiled lightly and continued, “The suit you bought is of such poor quality, wearing big shorts is more comfortable.”
Goddammit!
If Tang Xiaorou could beat Ye Xuan, at this moment, Ye Xuan would definitely be lying on the ground.
Tang Xiaorou gritted her teeth, she really couldn’t communicate with someone with such low taste.
“You know, these clothes I’m wearing cost me millions.” Tang Xiaorou said indignantly.
“Millions!
That’s pretty much the price of these flip-flops I’m wearing under my feet.” Ye Xuan said seriously.
“Forget it, I don’t want to argue with you.” Tang Xiaorou looked at the gold watch on her hand and said seriously, “It’s too late to find someone to replace you now, let’s go!”
“Mm.”
Ye Xuan chuckled helplessly, thinking, he didn’t lie.
The flip-flops underneath his feet were designed in Beihai Country.
In terms of seniority, it was the master who designed Tang Xiaorou’s earrings whose master designed Ye Xuan’s flip-flops.
These flip-flops are called “King’s Style.”
They look ordinary but are extraordinary, indeed specially designed by the famous master of Beihai Country for Ye Xuan.
There was once a pair of high imitations of “King’s Style” on the market, and they sold for seven hundred and fifty thousand at an auction.
And this genuine pair on Ye Xuan’s feet, estimated conservatively, should fetch more than ten million.
But Tang Xiaorou didn’t recognize it, Ye Xuan didn’t want to argue more.
The two departed from the villa together.
Tang Xiaorou thought Ye Xuan couldn’t drive, so she took the initiative to get in the driver’s seat, driving Ye Xuan to the Yanhai Hotel.
“Ye Xuan, Yanhai Hotel is a five-star hotel, the owner is Li Weihai.
He’s a big shot, so at that time, make sure you don’t speak carelessly and offend anyone.” Tang Xiaorou warned.
To be honest, Tang Xiaorou was scared.
The one by her side, who brags casually and talks about killing at the drop of a hat.
This would lead to trouble sooner or later!
Even though Ye Xuan was indeed strong, in front of a truly powerful force, no matter how strong, it’s useless.
“Li Weihai!
I know him, yesterday he tried to give me gifts, and I flatly refused.” Ye Xuan said with a grin.
Tang Xiaorou was baffled.
Just left the house, and already switched to show-off mode?
“Ye Xuan, don’t say things like that later.” Tang Xiaorou said seriously, “Otherwise, I won’t take you out again in the future.”
