Chapter Eighty-One Public Announcement

  "Weren't we supposed to go to the party?" I asked suddenly.

  He didn't say a word, his expression was cold. His eyes gazed into the distance, and he nodded slightly.

  I looked at him with a pained heart: "Give me some time, okay? I believe I will forget him."

  "Then would you accept me?" he asked suddenly with delight.

  I nodded: "I'll try to accept you, but you have to be mentally prepared!"

  He looked like a kid who had just gotten candy, happily nodding his head: "Then let's go prepare now! Or it'll be too late!"

  "Ah! But how are we going to get back?" I looked at him and said apologetically. Because of my impulsiveness, I had dragged him to a place he was unfamiliar with.

  He doted on scratching my nose: "I'm still a local, don't worry so much!"

  I dryly laughed twice and let him lead me away.

  It took us a long time to walk back to where we started, and Leng Xuan skillfully drove the car to the mall.

  I curiously asked: "Aren't you in a hurry?"

  "Really!" he said, looking at me.

  "I asked in puzzlement: 'Then why did we come here?'"

  "Let's go shopping!" He said and then pulled me along by the hand towards the mall.

  As Leng Xuan led me in, they all greeted us with respect. Many people cast envious glances at me, and I could only awkwardly avoid their gazes.

  Leng Xuan sensed my discomfort: "We're running out of time, hurry up!"

  They immediately started working on me, I looked at them, closed my eyes and rested, letting them work on my face and hair. Before long, they were done in no time.

  "Hey, wake up!" A young lady said, pushing me gently.

  I opened my blurry eyes and stared at myself in the mirror, "No way!" I exclaimed in surprise.

  "What's wrong?" the young lady asked anxiously.

  "It's just that I've never seen myself like this before." Indeed, the self in the mirror is so beautiful, completely losing the previous cute aura, and instead gaining a mature woman's charm. Her Polish-like hair was pulled straight and tied up, except for two strands on either side.

  "Satisfied?" Leng Xuan didn't know when he walked in, and he had changed into a suit that matched mine.

  I pouted: "Are you doing it on purpose?"

  "Huh?" He looked at me in confusion.

  I didn't say anything, I just pointed at his clothes and my hair.

  He smiled with relish and completely ignored my iron-green complexion.

  He watched as the car sped up to the entrance of a five-star hotel. This time I couldn't help it: "Whose dinner party are we attending, after all?"

  "Mine!"

  "Yours?"

  He nodded vigorously: "Didn't you say you'd give me a chance? How about tonight?"

  I saw a glimmer of pain and hope in his eyes, I steeled myself and nodded: "Okay! But if you're not up to par, you'll be kicked out immediately."

  "Ah!" He led me in with a smile on his face into the hotel.

  "Wow! Isn't that woman the girl who came with Xuan last time?" We heard someone discussing as soon as we entered.

  "Yes! Look at how beautifully he's dressed today!" This time I realized that being infatuated with flowers isn't just a girl's privilege, boys can be too.

  "What's she? Nothing! In the end, Xuan will still be at our family's Ye Lu's feet!" a girl said wildly.

  "Heh!" I couldn't help but burst out laughing.

  Leng Xuan looked at me with eyes full of doting, completely different from his usual attitude towards others: "What's wrong?"

  "It's nothing, just something people say." I shrugged indifferently.

  He heard that, and his gentle face suddenly became more ferocious than anything else, as if the whole world owed him money. I pushed him: "It really doesn't matter!"

  "But..." He originally wanted to continue speaking, but what followed was forced back by my scorching gaze.

  I ignored him and took his hand, walking confidently inside.

  "Hmm!" Suddenly that familiar nasal tone pierced through my ears.

  I stopped and looked at Xuan. Cold Xuan seemed not to notice and pulled my hand to walk away.

  We walked hand in hand onto the stage: "Leng Xuan!"

  The whole room fell silent, and everyone's eyes were on us, hand in hand on stage.

  "From today on, Han Feng officially becomes my girlfriend. I hope everyone is aware of it!" He dropped these two cold sentences and walked away holding hands.

  Ye Lu looked at me with an incredulous expression, and I smiled smugly at him: "I told you so!"

  "Impossible!" Ye Lu suddenly blocked Cold Xuan and said loudly.

  "Yelu, behave yourself!" He didn't even give him a glance.

  She sat on the ground with her face covered and cried.

  I looked at her, with complex emotions in my eyes. In the end, I just sighed and left with Qing Xuan.
