Chapter 540: To pick up girls, you need to prescribe the right remedy

The good show didn't happen.

Sanqigongheren's face showed some embarrassment.

Then he looked at the man standing beside Youqichuangongjingxiang.

Damn it!

He must have stolen my spotlight; Sanqigongheren was furious.

The stage I had prepared was taken over by others to perform, and even more aggravating, my useless subordinates couldn't even last until my turn.

The enraged Youqichuangongheren could only vent his anger on a person lying on the ground, kicking him repeatedly: "A bunch of bastards, dare to bully my little sister Jingxiang?"

This unlucky guy felt wronged inside, but dared not make a sound, honestly admitting everything.

Then he walked over to Jingxiang's side and asked concernedly: "Jingxiang, how are you? Are you okay?"

"You hope something happens to me?" Youqichuangongjingxiang asked with a half-smile.

Sanqigongheren wasn't there all along; he suddenly jumped out, saying he wanted to save himself.

This made Jingxiang feel something was off.

Recalling when surrounded by ronin, they only engaged in verbal harassment, never daring to lay a hand on anyone, unlike other lawless ronin.

This was probably Sanqigongheren's deliberate scheme, but the young handsome guy beside him ruined the plan.

Having figured it all out, Youqichuangongjingxiang's pretty face gradually turned cold.

But constrained by both families' statuses, she couldn't directly say such things.

Damn it.

Chen Yongren, who had been paying attention to Youqichuangongjingxiang's inner thoughts, only wanted to say one thing.

Fuck your mother.

These girls, whenever this happens, each are damn detectives, their minds racing faster than the next.

Um...

Sanqigongheren's expression stalled, he felt a bit guilty, and feigned calmness: "How could I bear for you to come to harm..."

He then immediately changed the subject, looking at Chen Yongren and said: "It was you who saved my little sister Jingxiang, right? Thank you so much."

Although the good show was ruined, beside Jingxiang, this little devil still put on a guise of high quality.

Chen Yongren smiled and nodded, as a response.

Sanqigongheren sized up Chen Yongren, always feeling something strange.

Leaving aside his noble aura, just that kimono decorated with gold thread is something ordinary families couldn't afford.

Especially that face looked indeed familiar.

But upon sudden reflection, Sanqigongheren couldn't temporarily recall who it was.

"Jingxiang, look, without me protecting you nearby, isn't it dangerous?" Sanqigongheren seized the opportunity, feigning concern: "You're lucky to have met a good-hearted person; what if you hadn't?"

Youqichuangongjingxiang knew Sanqigongheren was looking for another chance to cling to her; she glanced at Chen Yongren beside her, her eyes lit up, and she instantly had an idea.

"Good-hearted person?" Youqichuangongjingxiang grabbed Chen Yongren's arm: "He's my boyfriend; we just agreed to meet here."

"Boyfriend?" Sanqigongheren's expression showed astonishment.

"Dear, I hardly ever get out; you must accompany me to play and relax." Youqichuangongjingxiang pressed her face against Chen Yongren's arm and blinked.

This girl, is she trying to use me as a shield?

Chen Yongren readily agreed: "Wherever you want to go, I'll take you there."

"Anywhere is fine, as long as I'm with you." Youqichuangongjingxiang said sincerely.

Chen Yongren slightly nodded, chatting and laughing as he led Youqichuangongjingxiang away.

As for Sanqigongheren, the two simply ignored him outright.

Watching the two's departing backs, Sanqigongheren only felt a green light sprouting on his head.

"Young Master, Young Master." The guard who had come up with the idea trotted over to Sanqigongheren, looked at the actor he'd found, and said: "Miss Jingxiang, haven't you been conquered by your heroic bearing?"

"Huh, where's Miss Jingxiang?"

"Damn, you still have the nerve to say that if it weren't for your terrible idea, things wouldn't be like this." Sanqigongheren fiercely slapped him, pointing at the street ahead.

He shouted: "Immediately send people to follow them ahead, report their situation to me in a timely manner, and find a way to investigate that guy's identity!"

"Hai!" The guard didn't dare delay and immediately ran off.

……

After being disturbed by Sanqigongheren, Youqichuangongjingxiang also lost the mood to continue playing.

She truly feared Sanqigongheren would pull another stunt, so she simply headed toward the hotel.

Chen Yongren also noticed someone sneaking behind him, exactly the scout sent by Sanqigongheren.

There were guards behind who would handle all this, so there was no need to worry for now.

They arrived near the Jinmenjiudian.

"Miss, you can let go now." Chen Yongren stopped, looked at the hand holding Jingxiang's arm, and smiled.

"Ah?" Youqichuangongjingxiang startled, then realized, hurriedly released her hand, bowed gratefully: "Sorry, I was just so thankful earlier."

"No problem, after all, I love helping others." Chen Yongren continued to smile.

Seeing Chen Yongren's gentle smile, Youqichuangongjingxiang felt warm inside, but grew more curious: "Sir, have we really never met before? I really feel you look familiar."

"If I could have a story with a beautiful lady like you, I'd surely not forget it." Chen Yongren was also quite direct.

"You're really interesting." Youqichuangongjingxiang covered her mouth and laughed, extending her hand: "Let's get acquainted; I'm Youqichuangongjingxiang, you can call me Jingxiang from now on."

Having long been immersed in aristocratic etiquette, she could also see that Chen Yongren's demeanor was extraordinary, his status definitely not simple.

By proactively giving her name and saying "from now on," she also implied continued contact in the future.

"It's an honor to meet you, Miss Jingxiang." Chen Yongren was very polite, extending his hand for a light shake, then letting go, maintaining proper decorum.

This only increased Youqichuangongjingxiang's fondness even more.

Along the way he didn't, after helping himself out of a siege, try to seize the opportunity to get closer; his conduct all the way was very gentlemanly, far better than that bastard Sanqigongheren.

Youqichuangongjingxiang pressed her lips, looked at Chen Yongren, and asked: "What's your name?"

"Miss, perhaps after tonight we will never meet again; what's the point of knowing a name?" Chen Yongren said with a smile.

He realized that to deal with this little girl, he had to play hard to get.

Being a pampered royal miss from childhood, she naturally had many suitors around her; fawning like a dog would be pointless—she needed to be interested.

While she's young and hasn't seen many tricks, we ought to deceive her well.

"If we still have a chance to meet, I'll tell you my name." Chen Yongren smiled: "Now, miss, you may go rest."

Youqichuangongjingxiang wanted to speak but held back; she could feel that the person before her was not putting on an act to attract her attention.

Youqichuangongjingxiang only felt an itch in her heart; after a moment of silence, she suddenly asked: "Then can we still meet?"

"It's too late, you should go back." Chen Yongren didn't answer that question, threw down a sentence, waved goodbye to Youqichuangongjingxiang.
