Chapter 28: He Yue invites you to dinner

"I can't, you have to date me!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan's mind couldn't keep up with the pace. What was going on? He looked at the other person with a strange expression.

Somebody actually asked someone else to date her. Are they that desperate for a man?

Lin Xue also realized that she had been too hasty just now, and quickly waved her hand to explain, "I, I didn't mean it that way. It's just that we seem to have a good connection and can get to know each other."

"Heh heh!"

Even while speaking, her eyes kept darting around. Ye Xuan didn't believe in her nonsense. There was most likely something fishy going on.

"Hey, what's with that look?"

Feeling uncomfortable being stared at, Lin Xue finally expressed her thoughts.

"I just want you to be my temporary boyfriend. My family keeps trying to set me up on blind dates every day. I'm only twenty-three, why do I have to go on blind dates?"

As she spoke, she looked Ye Xuan up and down.

"I see, young man, extraordinary bone structure, quite handsome, driving a car worth millions, easy to approach for a stranger, enough to shut up my parents and save them from trying to set me up. I'm so sick of it."

Um, is this explanation too...

But why are you so, casually grasping someone, living by your own rules, not fearing to get yourself into trouble?

Also, with your cute appearance, isn't that a hobby unique to those weird men?

Lin Xue patted Ye Xuan's arm and said, "If you help me with this, I'll forgive you for lying to me just now, and I can also give you a chance to officially pursue me."

Lie to you? Ye Xuan felt very curious. When did he lie? It would indeed take a million to repaint the car, but that's not lying.

As for pursuing a girl, with his looks, plus the aura of a rich person, there's no girl he can't pursue. If he didn't succeed, it would only mean that the money wasn't enough. As long as it's enough, it doesn't matter if you're human or not.

However, pretending to be Lin Xue's boyfriend is also possible. This girl's appearance, well, how should I put it, it does meet the special interests of those weird men. The most important thing is that there's no three-year grace period, and the highest penalty is death.

He nodded in agreement.

"Great!"

Lin Xue jumped up and praised herself fiercely. She hadn't expected the problem that had been giving her a headache to be solved so easily.

"I'll go apply first. I'll call you when I need you!"

With that, she ran off towards the building.

After parting ways with Lin Xue, Ye Xuan returned to the hotel to take a nap. He had slept late last night and was feeling quite sleepy. He almost fell asleep as soon as he lay down.

He didn't know how long it had been.

Ding dong, ding dong!

The WeChat on the bedside suddenly rang. Ye Xuan picked it up and saw that it was from He Yue, the girl next door.

He Yue: "Xuan ge, do you have time tonight? Please have dinner with me."

Immediately after, another message with a location was sent.

"Huh, why is it in the eastern suburbs?"

Ye Xuan was suspicious. The location was obviously quite far from her neighborhood, at least twenty kilometers away.

But without much thought, he replied, then turned off his phone, went to the bathroom to wash off the dust, and drove to the location.

Because it was the evening rush hour, there were a lot of cars, and it took him more than half an hour to reach his destination.

After getting out of the car, Ye Xuan was a bit dumbfounded.

What's going on? A street food stall?

Since this was He Yue's first treat, he dressed a bit formally, in designer clothing, and suddenly felt like he was dressed inappropriately.

Coming to a place like this, it would be more casual to wear a plain T-shirt and jeans. Dressing so formally, it would seem like something is amiss to others.

With the sky slowly darkening, the lights on the old tent of the street food stall were shining bright, illuminating the coming and going of people.

The various bustling sounds entered Ye Xuan's ears, giving him a sense of familiarity. He had frequented places like this many times before and was very familiar with them.

As for getting dirt on his outfit worth nearly a hundred thousand, it's fine to get it dirty. After all, he can afford it. But this kind of atmosphere couldn't be missed.

According to the location prompt, he stepped inside.

As for how He Yue invited him to dinner here, to say that she didn't have money, that's unlikely. She had given him a hundred thousand just two days ago, so it was unlikely she was without money.

"Sir, are you here to meet a friend?"

"Indeed, my friend invited me for a meal."

Ye Xuan had just entered the food stall when a man in his forties approached him, holding a menu. He seemed to be someone from the establishment, not a customer casually striking up a conversation.

"Hehe!"

The man chuckled and looked Ye Xuan up and down.

"I not only know you're here to meet a friend, but I'm certain that this friend of yours is a gorgeous young lady!"

It was terrifying how he could guess that.

Raising his thumb in praise, Ye Xuan said, "Impressive, uncle! You have a discerning eye. Have you studied fortune-telling?"

"Do I look like I study fortune-telling?!" The man laughed heartily and explained, "With your formal attire and youthful appearance, it's unlikely that you're here for business. So, you must be here to meet a potential romantic interest. Just now, little Yue Yue mentioned that she made a date with a handsome guy, and when I saw you, I figured it must be you."

"…"

So that was it. Ye Xuan felt a bit embarrassed. He had thought the man could accurately predict the future. Judging by his tone, it seemed like he knew Yue Yue. Surprised, he asked, "Uncle, do you know Yue Yue?"

The middle-aged man waved his hand. "I don't just know her; her mom learned her cooking skills from me. That's the only reason she could open a small restaurant. Let's go in. Yue Yue is inside, where it's cool with air conditioning and electric fans."

No wonder he was treating someone here. He must know Yue Yue.

After a few steps, he saw Yue Yue sitting with her chin propped on her hand, occasionally glancing at her phone, lost in thought.

In the soft light, the cool breeze from the fan gently tousled her hair, adding a hint of alluring charm that was impossible to resist.

Ye Xuan's gaze was gradually drawn in, completely fixated on Yue Yue.

So beautiful!

The subtle makeup showcased her flawless features. Her beautiful large eyes, delicate lips, and smooth, inviting fair skin were beyond captivating, leaving anyone who laid eyes on her unable to help but admire her.

Perhaps hearing movement, she looked up, and her lively, large eyes were like sparkling spring water as they met Ye Xuan's.

"Xuan gege, you're here!"

Her tender voice sounded from Yue Yue's lips as she sprang up from her seat, her face blooming like a hundred flowers, captivating the attention of many onlookers.

However, what happened next shattered the hearts of many.

Yue Yue took a step forward and came to Ye Xuan's side, then, like an obedient girl, she wrapped her arms around his, wearing a look of happiness on her face.
