Chapter 1354: Chapter 1354
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Su Chen felt Lan Xinyi's gaze and casually smiled:
"Do I look particularly handsome today?!"
Hearing this, Lan Xinyi's face instantly flushed red, and she spat, quickly turning her head away.
Su Chen chuckled, said nothing, and continued driving forward...
"Once we get there, first say you're my friend. If it doesn't work, then say you're...that...you know."
A few minutes later, Lan Xinyi suddenly spoke, her face blushing red.
Su Chen looked at Lan Xinyi and couldn't help but smile:
"Alright, whatever you say!"
He understood that Lan Xinyi was trying her best not to involve him in the matter, considering the other person was from a top-tier faction!
This little girl truly is kind-hearted!
In fact, Lan Xinyi indeed thought this way. Although she believed that saying Su Chen was her boyfriend shouldn't be problematic, after all, having a boyfriend is completely normal!
Surely he wouldn't be that unreasonable, right?
Of course, if she could persuade him to give up without involving Su Chen, that would be the best choice!
If it didn't work out, then she could only have Su Chen pretend to be her boyfriend for a while, as she really had no better solution!
After all, even her father would find it a tough situation to handle, since technically he was just pursuing her and hadn't done anything wrong!
After driving for a while, the car stopped at the entrance of an estate in the outskirts of Yandu.
Su Chen looked at the estate and thought to himself that the Ancient Martial World is indeed deeply integrated with the Secular World now!
Many factions have their own businesses in these major cities. For instance, in Yandu itself, the Qin Family, Tianyin Palace, and Myriad Medicine Pavilion all have their own industries!
And these are just the ones he knew about. Who knows how many others there are!
It seems like social progress and development are driving the Ancient Martial World to consciously engage with the Secular World!
Of course, the current interaction is still quite limited; at least, Su Chen previously didn't know about the existence of these factions!
When they arrived at the entrance, there weren't any guards.
This was normal; for people in the Ancient Martial ways, in this secular world, what need would they have for guards!
If there were any, they would typically be responsible for communication-related tasks.
In fact, this estate used to have guards, but today, knowing that Lan Xinyi was coming, they were withdrawn, except for some necessary reception personnel.
The two took a glance and walked in directly. Seeing Lan Xinyi a bit uneasy, Su Chen smiled and said:
"Xinyi, you've arrived!"
At this moment, hearing the footsteps, a young man came out. As soon as he saw Lan Xinyi, his eyes lit up!
Two years ago when he met this woman, he had become interested. Unexpectedly, upon seeing Lan Xinyi two years later, he realized this woman had become even more beautiful and charming!
Especially today, it was obvious she had dressed up meticulously, making her even more dazzling!
This really delighted him; could it be that this woman had finally come around, finally touched by his sincerity!
"Xinyi, please come in!"
The young man hurriedly said enthusiastically.
But when he saw a young stranger coming out with Lan Xinyi, his face suddenly turned sour!
He looked at Su Chen and said coldly.
"Oh, nothing, I'm just here to bum a meal!"
Su Chen replied casually.
"Young Master Feng, this is my friend who came with me this time."
Lan Xinyi said quickly.
The young man pondered for a moment, and then thought, could this man be a disciple of Yunhai Hall?
Lan Xinyi, as a woman, didn't feel safe coming to the estate alone, so she brought along a Yunhai Hall disciple?
If that's the case, it's understandable!
After all, he wasn't familiar with Yunhai Hall. He couldn't possibly recognize all the high-level members, let alone some young guy, right?
Thinking of this, he immediately changed his demeanor, beaming with a smile:
Su Chen at the moment was concealing his aura. With his level of cultivation, the young man couldn't discern Su Chen's true realm!
In his mind, although he couldn't spend time alone with Lan Xinyi, if he treated the Yunhai Hall disciple nicely and gained some goodwill, it might yield a good outcome!
Seeing how the young man changed expressions like a performer, Su Chen smirked slightly, said nothing, and walked in with Lan Xinyi!
The three then entered a dining room, where an exquisite dining table was set up.
"Please, have a seat!"
Young Master Feng invited with a smile.
Following his words, Su Chen and Lan Xinyi sat down.
"Try this, see if it suits your taste."
Young Master Feng said, looking at them.
Su Chen, naturally not one to hold back, picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
Indeed, the dishes this fellow prepared were quite good, no wonder, he had prepared them with care!
Su Chen and Lan Xinyi didn't speak for a while, focusing on the food.
Lan Xinyi, for the moment, hadn't found the right opportunity to express her own viewpoint, while Su Chen was laid-back about it; if there's food, why not eat!
Otherwise, wouldn't it just waste these fairly exquisite meals?
After a while, it was Young Master Feng who couldn't hold back first and spoke:
"Xinyi, you look really beautiful today!"
At this moment, a sound of chuckling suddenly rang out inappropriately.
"What are you laughing at!"
Hearing the laughter, Young Master Feng's face immediately showed a hint of anger! New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on noᴠelfire.net
He was just contemplating how to confess, and this guy actually snickered. What was that supposed to mean!
Su Chen waved it off with a smile.
"What do you mean by nothing? Am I that laughable?"
Young Master Feng said coldly.
"Young Master Feng, have you read the book 'An Actor Prepares'?"
Su Chen tilted his head and asked.
Young Master Feng replied, he hadn't even heard of it.
At this moment, Lan Xinyi also curiously looked at Su Chen, not knowing what he was up to!
Su Chen slapped the table and said:
"If Young Master Feng had, you'd know that the way you just said it was all wrong. You should have said it with deep affection, as if you wished to melt the person with your words!"
"And the language should be rich, not dry, that's what moves a girl!"
Young Master Feng was caught off guard by Su Chen's statements!
"Seeing how clueless you are, let me give you a demonstration!"
Su Chen looked like he was disappointed in Young Master Feng for not meeting expectations.
He then placed both hands on Lan Xinyi's shoulders, gently turning her body to face him while locking his eyes on her as if deeply entranced.
He gazed at her that way, making Lan Xinyi's heart race, her cheeks blushing slightly!
Because Lan Xinyi had never been looked at by a man in such a way, much less by Su Chen, the man she had always liked?!
