“Xu In, how long are you going to keep holding onto my arm?” Bai Chen could not help but ask this. Many pairs of jealous eyes belonging to men at the party were fixed on him.
Long Xu In took him into a corner of the hall. Right now, the hall was filled with more than 40 people.
All of them were dressed elegantly and in a well-to-do manner. It was certain that all of them were here to be a part of the birthday party.
Long Xu In blushed for a moment before speaking out unhappily. “You really think I want to cling to your arm? I’m doing this to trick others into thinking we are a couple. Do not forget what I brought you here for.”
Bai Chen could only nod to show his understanding. It was not that he disliked it. But it was that her hold was restricting his movement.
“Are you hungry? Have you eaten yet?”
Long Xu In asked this whilst glancing over at the long dining table. Different types of food were laid out for the guests to pick from.
There was also a wine table beside it with many kinds of expensive wines for the guests as well.
“I could use some food,” Bai Chen answered honestly because he was feeling quite hungry.
“Then wait here. Do not go anywhere. I will grab some food for you,” Long Xu In said before letting go of his arm and walking towards the dining table.
Bai Chen’s eyes followed her gorgeous back. He could not help but smile and think that she was quite good-looking.
“Hello.”
While Bai Chen was waiting for Long Xu In, a voice spoke to him from the side.
He had to turn to look and saw a handsome man in a white suit walking towards him with a smile.
“Hello.” Bai Chen had no idea who this guy was. But he said hello back just to respond and to be courteous.
“My name is Liu Feng. May I ask, what is your relationship with Miss Xu In?” the man, who had now moved in front of Bai Chen, asked.
Bai Chen blinked before scanning the man in front of him thoroughly. There was a high chance he was asking this because he was also after Long Xu In.
“I am her boyfriend,” Bai Chen replied.
It was certain that he said this just because Long Xu In had asked him to pretend to be her boyfriend tonight. There was no doubt that he had to reply this way.
“Her boyfriend?” Liu Feng raised his eyebrow. “Are you joking?”
It was obvious that he did not buy any of it and was quite upset that Bai Chen had said he was dating Long Xu In.
The fact was, Liu Feng had been after her for two years now. He knew very well that Long Xu In did not care for any man, not even himself.
So how could he believe that she had a boyfriend? Especially one who was not half as attractive as him. Not to mention the suit he was wearing.
To Liu Feng’s eyes, the suit Bai Chen was wearing was quite common—unlike his suit, which was tailored and was worth more than a hundred thousand yuan.
“I am not kidding. You can ask her yourself when she gets back,” Bai Chen replied calmly, which was an indicator that he was not lying.
Liu Feng narrowed his eyes before taking a step closer to Bai Chen.
He whispered, “If you’ve lied to me, I will make you pay for it dearly. And even if you really are her boyfriend, I will break you guys up!”
Bai Chen’s face twitched once. He looked at Liu Feng and smiled. “Up to you then—if you can do it.”
“You son of a—!” Liu Feng was furious. He did not expect Bai Chen to dare talk to him like this.
Liu Feng was the heir to the Liu family, which was a powerful family and the third richest one in Xing Zhou, after the Qian and Li families.
Thus, when someone this lowly said something like that to him, Liu Feng could not help but feel livid.
“Do you want to die?” Liu Feng asked coolly.
Bai Chen stopped smiling. If nobody messed with him, he would remain idle. But when someone provoked him, with a threat no less, it was quite hard for him to let things go.
It was certain that he was not just going to let this pass or just accept the threat passively.
“It’s you who wants to die, isn’t it?”
“Why, you... you—!” Liu Feng’s lips trembled. He pointed his finger at Bai Chen’s face, his eyes brimming over with malice.
“Hmmph! I will have you know that if you do not stop seeing Long Xu In, I will make sure you regret it for the rest of your life!”
“I will be waiting,” Bai Chan said without a care.
“You will see indeed!”
Liu Feng spoke these last words angrily before storming off.
Bai Chen looked on at Liu Feng’s back emotionlessly. If another party was causing problems for him, he did not mind retaliating.
And if Liu Feng wanted to trouble him to the point where his parents might get into trouble too, Bai Chen would gladly kill Liu Feng for it.
Because he would not allow anybody to ever harm his family!
Bai Chen would not let life reset back to how things were before he’d discovered the Life Changing System!
Bai Chen quit focusing on Liu Feng at the same moment that Long Xu In walked back.
In one hand, she held a plate filled with many kinds of food. In another, she had a glass of wine.
“Here you go.” She passed the plate to him when she got back.
Bai Chen took the plate with a smile. “Thank you.”
“No need. I was the one who asked you to act as my boyfriend,” Long Xu In said whilst sipping the wine. Her face was satisfied.
“This wine is not too shabby. You want to try some? I can get you some.”
“It is all right. I will go get it myself if I want to try it,” Bai Chen replied. It was clear that he did not want Long Xu In to just go and grab everything he needed. He spoke while eating the food on his plate.
