Chen Xuan chuckled and waved his hand, "My hand's too small, can't quite hold it."

Yang Leshan understood immediately, her face turning red, "I'm talking serious business, stop fooling around."

"Which of my words was fooling around? I was just saying my hand's too small to hold onto opportunities. What did you think I meant?" Chen Xuan said with a playful smile.

"I..." Yang Leshan shot him a glare, "Don't think I can't catch the hidden meaning in your words. Just answer me—how about being my boyfriend?"

"Not so good." Chen Xuan smacked his lips, "Because I already have a wife, and two other women who I'm particularly close with."

Hmm?

Yang Leshan stared at him blankly, "Chen Xuan, if you're going to make up stories, could you at least be a bit more serious?"

"Which one is your wife? Go ahead and tell me."

Chen Xuan pouted, "Does it make a difference? It's not related to you anyway."

"Ha-ha, so it's all fabrication." Yang Leshan scoffed, "Anyway, I've said my piece—I'll take up the role of your girlfriend from now on."

Chen Xuan was amused, "Why? Just a touch of your lips and you become my girlfriend? That's way too easy."

Hmph!

Yang Leshan snorted gently, "What, am I not good enough for you?"

Chen Xuan shook his head, chuckling, "Leshan, are you out of your mind?"

"Just because I accidentally saw you without clothes, doesn't mean I have to take responsibility, right?"

"Feeling wronged? Don't act all innocent after getting the benefit!" Yang Leshan glanced at him, "Have you been hurt by a girl before? Is that why you're so resistant?"

"You're the one who's been hurt in love." Chen Xuan retorted, annoyed.

"Ha-ha, seems I've hit the nail on the head." Yang Leshan grinned, "No worries, we can start as friends and develop gradually."

Chen Xuan grinned, "Think what you want, but here's a friendly reminder not to take jokes seriously."

"I'm not a good man. If you get hurt, it's not my responsibility."

Tsk!

Yang Leshan gave a nonchalant look, as if the more Chen Xuan insisted, the more he was just trying to cover up his true self.

If he really were a bad man, who would openly admit it? Surely he's just saying nonsense.

"From now on, I won't target you anymore, nor will I underestimate you."

"I'll treat you as a true friend, let you feel the gentle warmth of a woman."

Yang Leshan chuckled lightly.

Chen Xuan chuckled, "No comment, I've already warned you—if you're determined to jump into the fire, no one will stop you."

After eating, Chen Xuan received a call from Su Linlang, "You've arrived in Jiangbei City? Okay, I'll come pick you up soon."

After hanging up, Chen Xuan said to Yang Leshan, "You head back to the company yourself; I need to pick up a friend."

With a wave to Yang Leshan, Chen Xuan took off first.

"This guy... just left me here, going off alone." Yang Leshan snorted lightly, "Not so easy to shake me off! If I've got my eye on you, I won't let you slip away!"

Yang Leshan got up and left the hotel, ready to return to New Moon Entertainment Company.

But Zhang Xiao suddenly appeared with his men, a sinister smile on his face, "Miss Yang, we meet again!"

"Where's that guy protecting you? Not by your side, huh-huh-huh."

Yang Leshan's face filled with terror instantly, "What do you want? Better not act recklessly, my boyfriend's very powerful, not afraid of you!"

"Boyfriend? Damn, I'll turn him into mince soon enough!"

Zhang Xiao snorted, "I'll finish that guy first, then deal with you, no woman can escape my grip!"

With a wave of his hand, a few henchmen went over and forcibly took Yang Leshan away.

Meanwhile.

Chen Xuan drove to the train station to pick up Su Linlang.

"Got all the work arrangements sorted?" Chen Xuan took the suitcase from Su Linlang.

Su Linlang nodded, smiling, "Yes, all settled. I can report to Jiangbei University tomorrow."

"Is your accommodation arranged?" Chen Xuan asked again, "If not, I can find you a place this afternoon."

"No need, the school has arranged an apartment for me, single room, very convenient." Su Linlang laughed lightly.

Chen Xuan nodded his head and didn't say more, driving Su Linlang to the faculty apartments.

A small house with one living room and one bedroom, complete with a bathroom.

"Although it's a bit simple, the environment is quite nice."

Chen Xuan smiled at Su Linlang, "I can occasionally stay over for a night, that's alright, right?"

Su Linlang looked bashful, "You're welcome anytime; after all, I've already given you my heart and soul."

Chen Xuan laughed softly, stepping forward to embrace Su Linlang, wanting to share a tender moment.

But just then, his phone rang.

Zhang Xiao was calling using Yang Leshan's phone, "Chen Xuan, right? Yang Leshan is with me!"

"You think you're so cocky, huh? Daring not to give a damn about me! Now, let's see how you'll protect her!"
