Chapter 20: Posing as a Boyfriend

"I knew you wouldn't believe me, I've brought the person here!"

Ma Menghan grabbed Chen Che's arm, her manner intimate, "This is my boyfriend. Kexiang is here too; if you don't believe me, ask her."

Cheng Kexiang was suddenly cued and instantly snapped out of her daze. Although reluctant, she nodded in agreement to help her best friend.

"Yes, that's right. Chen Che and Menghan are together, I can vouch for it."

Cheng Kexiang said loudly on purpose.

Ma Menghan cast an appreciative look at Cheng Kexiang. She had been worried about slipping up because she didn't know Chen Che's name, but now her good friend had directly patched the hole.

Just a moment ago, when Ma Menghan saw Cheng Kexiang, she had also seen Chen Che.

There were many onlookers, but Chen Che was simply too dazzling in the crowd, and her gaze was drawn to him involuntarily.

But that was not important; what was important was that she saw Cheng Kexiang's hand linked through Chen Che's arm.

This action made Ma Menghan guess that the two knew each other. Their specific relationship didn't matter, but they looked quite close.

Since they were her own people, they could be put to use.

She had been worrying about not having anyone to pose as a boyfriend, and her good friend had just delivered one!

Moreover, in terms of both temperament and appearance, he could steadily suppress Feng Yuan, enough to make Feng Yuan hit a brick wall hard!

With Cheng Kexiang and Ma Menghan echoing each other, Feng Yuan was stunned for a moment, then began to size up Chen Che carefully.

A sculpture-like, sharp-angled face, a tall and straight posture, and a gorgeous suit.

Not just the onlookers, even Feng Yuan was stunned by Chen Che for an instant.

Feng Yuan was suddenly consumed by jealousy!

But he did not act overly agitated; instead, he stood up and probed, "Since you are Menghan's boyfriend, may I ask where you are employed?"

"The Cheng Family," Chen Che replied.

"The Cheng Family?"

Feng Yuan frowned, glanced at Cheng Kexiang in the crowd, and continued to probe with a smile, "To be able to go out with Miss Cheng so late, it seems you have a very good relationship with her. I suppose your position in the Cheng Family is not low, either?"

"It's alright..."

Chen Che said, "I am Miss Cheng's Bodyguard."

Hearing Chen Che expose his own identity as a Bodyguard, Feng Yuan understood everything, and his expression softened.

As the eldest young master of the dignified Feng Family, he was a being that crushed Chen Che in terms of status and standing.

Feng Yuan recovered his high-and-mighty posture and revealed a contemptuous sneer.

"Menghan, even if you want to find someone to pose as a boyfriend, you should find someone with a bit of class. Finding a Bodyguard and dressing him up to look the part, you think that will make me retreat in the face of difficulty?"

"Who are you insulting!?"

Seeing Feng Yuan despise Chen Che, Cheng Kexiang stood out and glared at Feng Yuan.

"Let me tell you, Miss Cheng, you have ruined my plans several times before. I only refrained from bickering with you because you are a member of the Cheng Family. But this time, don't even think about stopping me again!"

Feng Yuan gave a mocking laugh: "And I highly doubt your taste in choosing a bodyguard. Looking only at the face is not the standard for choosing a bodyguard. Anyone who didn't know better would think you were choosing a boy toy."

"You!"

Cheng Kexiang's eyes widened in anger, her little face flushed red with fury.

Ma Menghan knew that if she didn't do things thoroughly today, she would never have peace in the future.

"Young Master Feng, I'm not lying to you, Chen Che really is my boyfriend. And I think it's something to be proud of that my boyfriend's job is a Bodyguard!"

She gritted her teeth and said ruthlessly, "Young Master Feng, we really aren't suitable, and I have no feelings for you at all. It's true that you are the eldest young master of the Feng Family, but I don't think my boyfriend is inferior to you just because he is a Bodyguard!"

"Menghan, why are you so obsessed and unable to see reason! Do you know how many women there are who try every possible way to be with me!"

Feng Yuan said with an arrogant demeanor, "Our Feng Family is a large enterprise with assets exceeding one hundred million, and I am the only heir, currently serving as the company's president."

"As long as you are with me, not only can your work at the Feng Clan be resolved, but I can even have you sitting in an executive position as soon as you graduate."

Feng Yuan glanced at Chen Che with contempt and said, "This thing beside you that you call a boyfriend, even if he works hard for a lifetime, he'll just be a Bodyguard. And he can't give you anything!"

Ma Menghan glanced at Chen Che. She had dragged him in as a shield without his consent, and now he was being humiliated by Feng Yuan; she felt very bad about it.

Ma Menghan defended Chen Che, saying, "You are not allowed to talk about my boyfriend like that!"

Cheng Kexiang also chimed in, "He is my Bodyguard, and as long as I want, he can make a great success of himself in the Cheng Family!"

Feng Yuan sneered and said, "Let me tell you, Miss Cheng, you are the youngest in the family, so it's not your turn to call the shots."

"You!"

Cheng Kexiang was struck at her sore spot and was left speechless.

"Yeah, this really can't be compared. How can a wage earner compare to the young master of a large enterprise?"

"That's right, the gap is too big. If it were me, I would choose Young Master Feng too."

"But I think this young man is quite handsome, and a bodyguard's job is considered stable..."

"So what? A man having strength is useless; the most important thing is power..."

Listening to the surrounding discussion, Ma Menghan felt a bit dim in her heart. She had hurriedly grabbed a shield, but had overlooked the gap between the two.

With things this way, Feng Yuan's sense of superiority became even stronger, and he would still pester her.

"Kid, it's not that I look down on you. See this car behind me? It's the new car I bought for Menghan, worth over three million. I'm afraid you won't earn that much money in your entire life."

Feng Yuan continued his sarcasm: "Oh, that's right, perhaps Miss Cheng will give you a promotion and a raise for Menghan's sake. But unfortunately, Miss Cheng doesn't call the shots in the Cheng Family. Even if she helps you again, you won't be able to catch the eye of the old master of the Cheng Family."

Chen Che's expression did not change at all, and he said, "Let's leave it at that. She doesn't like you, so it's useless for you to keep pestering her."

Feng Yuan sneered: "Do you mean to say that Menghan likes you?"

"I am a fake..."

Before Chen Che could finish his sentence, Feng Yuan burst out laughing.

"Look, look. Even you feel the gap between us is too big, feeling ashamed of yourself, and can't keep up the act anymore, right!"

Ma Menghan subconsciously glared at Chen Che with resentment, but immediately thought that she couldn't blame him.

After all, she had forcibly dragged him to help without his consent.

Having been humiliated by Feng Yuan all this time, it was only natural for him to have some emotions.

Cheng Kexiang, however, stopped speaking at this moment, because she knew Chen Che had run out of patience.

Feng Yuan had been pestering and provoking him constantly; Chen Che's mood must be irritable, and he was about to start fighting back.

Seeing that Chen Che did not speak, Feng Yuan ignored him and continued with the business of the night.

"Menghan, I know you are currently living in the suburbs, far from the company, and have to get up early every day to catch buses and subways. The car behind me is a gift for you, so you won't have to work so hard anymore."

Feng Yuan took a set of keys out of his jacket pocket and continued: "Of course, if you are willing to be with me, this house in the villa district will also be yours. It is only two streets away from the company and my home, so we can commute to work together every day."

Feng Yuan knelt on one knee again and said with a sincere face: "Of course, money is secondary; what matters is my sincere heart for you!"

"So touching. If someone treated me like this, I would definitely marry him without hesitation..."

"Young Master Feng is so generous. A three-million-dollar car and a villa worth a sky-high price, he gives them away just like that. If it were me, I would definitely agree..."

"He's rich and devoted; where can you find such a good man nowadays!"

Hearing the discussions around him, Feng Yuan breathed a sigh of relief; the plants he had placed in the crowd in advance were working, and the emotions of the onlookers were ignited.

"Say yes! Be together... be together..."

Someone in the crowd shouted out.

Against the backdrop of this atmosphere, the onlookers all followed suit and began to shout.
