Chapter 19: Emergency Help in the Jianghu

Under the enthusiastic hospitality of Sun Rongrong and the others, Chen Che and Cheng Kexiang tried on one outfit after another.

Cheng Kexiang was tireless, even taking the initiative to discuss with Sun Rongrong and the other female shop assistants which clothes matched better, but Chen Che felt that such repetitive tasks had little meaning.

What's more, several of the outfits were actually quite similar, but Cheng Kexiang just wasn't satisfied.

Finally, after nearly a hundred outfits were rejected, Cheng Kexiang settled on a white, cinched-waist dress.

She stood before the mirror, the white dress paired with a pair of white sneakers and a Hermès bag, and she even had Sun Rongrong specifically tie her hair into a high ponytail.

Her look was pure yet not lacking in sexiness, causing the male shop assistants to stare straight at her.

Chen Che was selected to wear a black, streamlined suit, and paired with that flawless face, his entire aura changed completely; standing there, he was as dazzling as a star.

Sun Rongrong observed the two with great satisfaction and said, "A handsome man and a beautiful woman, the two of you are a match made in heaven!"

Cheng Kexiang's little face turned red, and she snuck a glance at Chen Che.

Chen Che was too lazy to explain their relationship; such things only get messier the more you explain them.

Sun Rongrong turned to face Chen Che and bowed deeply: "Mr. Boyfriend, I am very sorry for before. I was just worried and acted rashly, fearing that our boss was being deceived by a scumbag. I judged a book by its cover, was blind, and misunderstood you; I hope you will not hold it against me."

"I will pay for the clothes for the two of you out of my own pocket as a gift. Firstly, to express my apologies, and secondly, to offer you my blessings!"

Sun Rongrong bowed again: "Please, you must accept my sincerity!"

Chen Che said flatly: "Fine."

Seeing that Chen Che agreed, Sun Rongrong let out a sigh of relief, and the look in her eyes as she gazed at Chen Che held a hint of admiration and longing.

If Sun Rongrong had previously thought that Chen Che was not good enough for Cheng Kexiang, now, it was likely that Cheng Kexiang was far from good enough for Chen Che.

Being able to subdue Shen Qi was enough to prove Chen Che's ability.

What woman doesn't like a capable man, especially one who is both handsome and magnanimous?

Sun Rongrong's gaze gradually became lingering, which Cheng Kexiang keenly sensed, and she decisively cut off that ambiguous look.

"Alright, we've been at this all day, we should go eat!"

Cheng Kexiang grabbed Chen Che's arm and said to Sun Rongrong with a gloomy expression.

Sun Rongrong composed her expression and gave an awkward smile: "Alright, then please take care, you two."

Cheng Kexiang hurried to push Chen Che out, because she discovered that it wasn't just Sun Rongrong; the other female shop assistants were all showing infatuated expressions after Chen Che finished changing.

This made her feel very uncomfortable inside!

"What do you want to eat?" Cheng Kexiang asked.

The two left the clothing store and strolled through the streets and alleys, but for a moment, neither knew what to eat.

"I am your Bodyguard, I'll eat whatever you eat," Chen Che replied.

A very perfunctory tone.

Cheng Kexiang pouted and muttered softly: "I want to eat you, why don't you let me!"

Just then, Cheng Kexiang's phone rang.

The call connected, and her best friend Ma Menghan's cry came through immediately.

"Sister, come quickly to Feitian Amusement Park, emergency help needed!"

The two took a taxi to Feitian Amusement Park, and after getting out, they were surprised to find that this amusement park, which had the highest foot traffic in the entire city, was even more lively tonight than usual.

Many people were gathered on the spacious flat ground in the middle of the park, watching something.

Chen Che and Cheng Kexiang squeezed into the crowd before they could see the situation inside.

There, parked in the middle of the area, was a red Porsche 911. On the ground in front of the Porsche was a heart-shaped pattern made of ninety-nine roses, and a man and a woman were standing facing each other inside the pattern.

The man was a young person in his twenties; he had an outstanding temperament, was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and his hair was meticulously groomed. He held a bouquet of blue roses in his hand and was confessing his love to the girl in front of him.

The girl looked to be about the same age as Cheng Kexiang, but she was dressed very maturely in professional office attire, which accentuated her curvaceous figure and made it even sexier.

"Do you know them?"

Seeing Cheng Kexiang's angry expression, Chen Che asked.

Cheng Kexiang said: "The girl being confessed to is named Ma Menghan; she is my college classmate and also my best friend. She is a very ordinary girl, and with graduation coming up, she is currently interning at a company."

"It's the company of the man confessing to her. That person is named Feng Yuan, the eldest young master of the Feng Group, and one of the most famous playboys in Shanghai."

"Menghan is pretty and has a great figure; she was targeted by Feng Yuan on her very first day of interning at the Feng Group. He has been relentlessly pursuing her for this period, bombarding her with all kinds of sugar-coated bullets."

"Menghan originally hated him, but she couldn't afford to offend him for the sake of her job, so she had to endure it. This isn't the first time something like today has happened."

Chen Che asked, puzzled: "Why don't you let her come work at your family's company?"

Cheng Kexiang sighed: "I want to, but my best friend has strong self-esteem and refuses to come to the Cheng Family no matter what."

Chen Che nodded: "Then how do you plan to help her?"

"Simple!"

Cheng Kexiang was full of confidence, "Just like before, in a moment when Menghan gives the signal, I'll rush up, grab her, and run! The Feng Clan is considered a family in the same tier as the Cheng Family in Shanghai; Feng Yuan wouldn't dare do anything to me!"

While the two were talking, Feng Yuan had already knelt on one knee. The onlookers pulled out their phones, preparing to record the beautiful scene about to unfold.

"Menghan, this bouquet is for you. I hope you have a good mood every day!"

Feng Yuan held the bouquet in his hands and said very gentlemanly.

Ma Menghan didn't take the bouquet and said helplessly: "Young Master Feng, I've told you many times, we aren't a good fit!"

"Menghan, I've liked you since the first moment I saw you. Today is the thirty-fourth time I've confessed to you; please believe that I am sincere about you. Let's be together!"

Feng Yuan ignored Ma Menghan's mood and recited the lines he had long since memorized.

Ma Menghan frowned, knowing that without a powerful reason, even if Cheng Kexiang could save her a hundred times, Feng Yuan would still pester her.

In desperation, Ma Menghan had to lie: "Young Master Feng, you are very excellent, but it's really impossible for us; I already have a boyfriend."

Feng Yuan said: "Menghan, I know your situation better than anyone, so you don't need to lie to me; you don't have a boyfriend at all."

A standard smile hung on Feng Yuan's face, and seeing Ma Menghan's awkward and flustered expression, he knew he wasn't far from success.

He could have used the power of his family's company to coerce and lure Ma Menghan into submission, but after learning that Ma Menghan and Cheng Kexiang were good friends, he had no choice but to change his strategy.

After changing his strategy, in order to figure out Ma Menghan's preferences, he conducted a full investigation into Ma Menghan; he didn't know until he checked, and he was shocked once he did.

After Feng Yuan learned the results of the investigation, he could not suppress his excitement for a long time, and subsequently secretly swore that he must win Ma Menghan over.

Once successful, not only he, but even the Feng Family would rise along with the tide!

Ma Menghan's expression was annoyed; she regretted agreeing to come to the amusement park with Feng Yuan.

When Feng Yuan first extended the invitation and even used this month's performance as a threat, Ma Menghan thought she would just endure it and it would be over.

But she did not expect Feng Yuan to actually pull such a move, catching her off guard.

She absolutely could not agree, but leaving would not solve the fundamental problem either; it was truly a dilemma!

Ma Menghan looked up at Feng Yuan; the latter was kneeling on one knee in a standard pose, looking like a hunter quietly waiting for his prey to make its final, futile struggle.

If only there were really a boyfriend, even if it were just a fake one!

Ma Menghan thought to herself.

Seeing Ma Menghan frozen in place, Cheng Kexiang knew the time for her to act had arrived.

"Ahem!"

Cheng Kexiang coughed out loud on purpose to let Ma Menghan know she had arrived.

Ma Menghan turned her head, and their eyes met.

Just as Cheng Kexiang was about to rush over to rescue her, she saw Ma Menghan actually run over on her own initiative and grab the arm of Chen Che, who was standing to the side.

"I'm borrowing your person for a moment!"

After leaving behind this sentence, Ma Menghan pulled Chen Che back in front of Feng Yuan.

Cheng Kexiang stood frozen in place, looking completely bewildered.
