Chapter 2024: Let's Make Our Relationship Public

Yi Xiang was stunned once again.

Afterwards, he said with a look of disapproval, "This is far too childish of you!"

"How is it childish? We will sign a prenuptial agreement, so there won't be any disputes regarding assets. Besides, we have also agreed that as long as it doesn't cross moral boundaries, we won't restrict each other."

Still not childish?

Every single word of this is completely unreliable!

Yi Xiang really wanted to open his mouth to urge his brother to be calm and not to ruin a young girl's life.

But since both parties had sat down and negotiated the details, didn't that just mean... their values were aligned?

Since that was the case, Yi Xiang truly had no need to persuade him.

However, he himself was determined to find a beloved girl to marry.

A beloved girl...

A beautiful silhouette appeared before Yi Xiang's eyes once again.

That figure made Yi Xiang feel a sour sensation in his heart.

On the weekend, in the bustling shopping mall—

Wei Yangyang and Li Xingyan were on a date, holding hands.

This was the first time the two of them were on a proper date, so they were a bit restrained.

They kept holding hands, and gradually, their palms became damp.

Wei Yangyang pursed her lips and then asked, "How about we switch hands?"

"That works too."

Wei Yangyang moved from behind Li Xingyan to his other side, and then the two of them held hands again.

As for the hand that had been let go...

Both of them quietly relaxed their fingers.

Just at this moment, someone walked past Wei Yangyang.

That person was holding an ice cream in their hand.

It looked delicious.

Wei Yangyang's longing gaze was caught by Li Xingyan. He asked, "Want to eat some?"

"Mm."

"Then I'll go buy you some."

"Do you know where to buy it?"

"I'll just ask and find out."

After Li Xingyan finished speaking, he caught up to that girl and asked briefly.

The other party pointed out the direction to Li Xingyan.

Li Xingyan thanked her and ran back to Wei Yangyang's side, saying, "Wait here for me for a moment."

"Okay."

Li Xingyan walked forward quickly.

The girl he had stopped to ask began to exclaim to her friend: "Hey, that man is really handsome! Buying ice cream for his girlfriend makes him even more handsome! But why is someone so handsome not destined for me?"

"How is it not destined? He talked to you, didn't he?"

"That's true. Sigh, I have no regrets being able to talk to a handsome guy!"

The conversation between the two girls over there was heard by Wei Yangyang.

In her heart, she felt a little proud.

A smile couldn't help but hang on her face.

But standing here smiling foolishly by oneself was quite strange.

Wei Yangyang took out her phone and pretended to scroll through the news.

But just by scrolling like this...

She saw a photo.

It was a photo from a business event.

In the photo, Su Kexuan and Li Xingyan were standing together, both looking at the camera.

Even without knowing the background, one could tell that both of them were successful people.

Moreover, they were a talented man and a beautiful woman, very pleasing to the eye.

After Li Xingyan bought the ice cream and returned, he saw Wei Yangyang staring at her phone.

He was curious and leaned over to take a look.

As a result, that photo made him feel as if he were facing a formidable enemy.

"Don't look at it, it's written nonsense!"

Below the photo, there was a paragraph of text with very ambiguous wording.

Li Xingyan was very worried that Wei Yangyang would let her imagination run wild.

Wei Yangyang, however, said with a smile, "It's not nonsense, I think it's written very well; it's all praising you."

"No, that is nonsense. How could Su Kexuan and I be a golden boy and jade girl!"

"That's true, golden boys and jade girls wouldn't be this old."

Hmm...

Li Xingyan was speechless and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Wei Yangyang, however, smiled and said, "You, don't worry about me; I won't let my imagination run wild."

Her smile was very open and honest.

This openness showed that she truly hadn't taken this group photo to heart.

But... Li Xingyan had taken it to heart.

He said, "The public should know about our relationship!"

"How will they know?"

"We can attend events together and take the opportunity to announce it!"

Li Xingyan felt this was a good proposal and could be fully executed.

Wei Yangyang, however, asked cautiously, "What kind of event?"

"A banquet or something similar."

As soon as Wei Yangyang heard "banquet," her expression stiffened.

It was clear that she was very averse to such events.

Seeing this, Li Xingyan comforted her, "Don't be nervous; I will be with you the whole time."

"I know you'll be with me, but, but dating is a very private matter; there's no need to broadcast it."

"It is still necessary; at the very least, it can save us from many misunderstandings. By the way, there is a banquet this weekend; come with me."

Upon hearing this, Wei Yangyang asked pitifully, "Can I not go?"

When Li Xingyan saw this expression on Wei Yangyang, his heart softened.

But...

Li Xingyan shook his head.

Wei Yangyang was very disappointed.

She lowered her head, took Li Xingyan's ice cream, and took a bite.

Ooh, it's so cold on my teeth!

Wei Yangyang wrinkled her face while feeling full of longing.

Li Xingyan raised his hand to stroke Wei Yangyang's head, then consoled her, "We can make an appearance, show some affection, and then leave early."

"Oh."

"You definitely won't be full at the banquet, so we'll go eat hot pot afterward."

Hot pot?

Wei Yangyang had just eaten it yesterday, so it didn't pique her interest.

"Then, going to the night market for snacks is fine too."

Hmm, that sounds good.

Wei Yangyang was tempted.

It's just that...

Wei Yangyang looked up and asked, "Isn't it strange to go to the night market dressed so gorgeously?"

"We can change clothes in the car; anyway, as long as you want to, I will certainly satisfy you."

"Actually, what I want most is... not to go to the banquet."

Wei Yangyang stared at Li Xingyan with sparkling eyes.

As a result, Li Xingyan shook his head again.

Sigh, I knew it would be like this.

Wei Yangyang stopped lobbying Li Xingyan and instead slumped her shoulders, murmuring, "Fine, I'll listen to you. But I've decided, we're going to eat barbecue after the banquet ends."

"No problem!"

On the day of the banquet, Li Xingyan and Wei Yangyang attended hand in hand.

At this kind of banquet, the men usually have female companions.

But ordinary companions, at most, just hold the other person's arm.

These fingers tightly interlaced...

It really said too much.

Suddenly, all sorts of scrutinizing gazes fell upon Wei Yangyang.

Before coming, Wei Yangyang had already prepared herself mentally.

Facing the various gazes, she pretended not to see them.

But... pretending is, after all, just pretending; it was impossible for Wei Yangyang to be truly unaffected.

At this very moment, she suddenly felt what it was like for a day to feel like a year.

It was unbearable!

Just as Wei Yangyang was secretly feeling miserable, she spotted an acquaintance walking over with a smile.

It was Su Kexuan!

Finally running into someone she knew, Wei Yangyang was so happy!

A different kind of light also bloomed in her eyes.

Su Kexuan winked at Wei Yangyang.

Then she said to Li Xingyan, "Borrowing your girlfriend for a moment; let us chat for ten minutes."

Li Xingyan wanted to refuse.

But Wei Yangyang tugged on his hand and, when Li Xingyan looked over, nodded lightly.

It was clear that Wei Yangyang wanted to talk with Su Kexuan.

And her pitiful appearance made Li Xingyan unable to bear refusing, so in the end, he still let go of Wei Yangyang.
