After leaving the Ye family, it was completely dark. Wang Songren and Li Shuyang followed behind Liu Xiaoyuan, their expressions respectful, just like Liu Xiaoyuan's subordinates.
"My lords, I'll head back to the hotel now. Farewell!" Liu Xiaoyuan said, then got into a taxi and returned to the hotel.
Wang Songren and Li Shuyang, who were standing at the entrance of the Ye family's house, only breathed a sigh of relief after Liu Xiaoyuan's taxi had disappeared into the distance. Standing next to Liu Xiaoyuan, they felt an invisible pressure that made it hard for them to breathe.
"Brother Wang, shall we go for a drink?" Li Shuyang suggested. If the two of them didn't remain neutral today, they would end up like Tang Zhongxin, in a sorry state and making a fool of themselves.
“Okay!” Wang Songren immediately replied.
Now, both of them have the same idea: they will refuse any invitations from anyone who asks them to meet Liu Xiaoyuan, because they have discovered that Liu Xiaoyuan is a person who creates miracles.
Last time, everyone thought he was a master of internal energy transformation and would definitely be taught a lesson by Ye Sheng, who had advanced to the first level of the innate realm. In the end, Ye Sheng was beaten so badly that he fell down in realm, and the Ye family became a laughing stock.
Today, everyone thought Liu Xiaoyuan would be defeated by Ye Jiang, who was at the second level of the Innate Realm. However, Ye Jiang was kicked away by Liu Xiaoyuan and his fate is unknown. The Ye family has once again become a laughing stock.
After arriving at the hotel, Liu Xiaoyuan got out of the taxi and was about to enter when Murong Yuyan's voice suddenly rang out, calling out, "Liu Xiaoyuan, Liu Xiaoyuan!"
When Liu Xiaoyuan heard someone calling him, and it was Murong Yuyan's voice, he immediately turned around and saw Murong Yuyan driving a red car, sticking her head out of the window and calling out.
Liu Xiaoyuan walked over and asked with a grin, "Big star, is there anything I can help you with?"
Murong Yuyan said, "I'd like to ask you for a favor, is that alright?"
Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile, "As long as you, big star, ask, I'll help you with anything, even ten things, let alone just one."
"In that case, let's get in the car quickly!" Murong Yuyan called out.
Liu Xiaoyuan didn't know what favor Murong Yuyan wanted him to do for her, so he quickly asked, "Big star, you should tell me first what favor you want to do so I can get in the car. What if you take me away and sell me as soon as I get in?"
Upon seeing Murong Yuyan, Liu Xiaoyuan was reminded of the mysterious boss behind the Imperial City Media Group. Song Fei had said that he was a master with a cultivation level of more than the third level of the Innate Realm, which made Liu Xiaoyuan cautious.
"Don't worry, you're a grown man, no one will buy it," Murong Yuyan said with a smile.
"That's hard to say. What if you sell me to an illegal coal mine or a black brick factory? What will I do then?" Liu Xiaoyuan said with a grin.
Murong Yuyan already knew that Liu Xiaoyuan was glib and knew that she couldn't win an argument with him, so she stopped talking nonsense and said directly, "Are you getting on the bus or not? I'm going to get angry if you don't."
Liu Xiaoyuan then opened the back door and got into the car. As soon as he got in, Murong Yuyan drove off.
"Big star, now you can tell me what you need my help with, right?" Liu Xiaoyuan sat comfortably in the back. This expensive car is really different; the back seat has a lot of space and is very comfortable.
Murong Yuyan said while driving, "I want you to be my boyfriend!"
"Wow!" Upon hearing Murong Yuyan's words, Liu Xiaoyuan immediately realized that being her boyfriend was a lie, and being her shield was probably the real reason.
Zhao Chuchu had used this tactic before, and Liu Xiaoyuan had even gotten into a grudge with Wu Qingfeng because of it.
Now, Murong Yuyan is going to use Liu Xiaoyuan as a shield again, and who knows who she will offend.
Liu Xiaoyuan will no longer do such thankless and arduous tasks.
"Big star, I'm afraid I can't help you with this. You'd better pull over quickly," Liu Xiaoyuan said.
Murong Yuyan said angrily, "Didn't you just say that you would help even if it took ten favors? What, are you going back on your word now?"
Liu Xiaoyuan explained, "Big star, this isn't a matter of breaking my word, it's a matter of ability. This favor is beyond my capabilities, and I'm afraid I can't help you."
Just kidding, Liu Xiaoyuan was afraid of being a shield, such a thankless and arduous job. Not only would he offend people, but he wouldn't get any benefits for himself.
Murong Yuyan asked, puzzled, "This is nothing difficult. It's just asking you to pretend to be my boyfriend so that those who want to pursue me will give up. It's such a simple thing."
The task itself isn't difficult, but I don't know how many people I'll offend. A big star like you, Murong Yuyan, will be pursued by wealthy young men, and they'll all see me as a rival. I don't have the time or energy to deal with these flies bothering me.
“Hey big star, I have a suggestion for you. Why don’t you just go out on the street and grab anyone to be your boyfriend?” Liu Xiaoyuan said.
Upon hearing this, Murong Yuyan angrily turned around and glared at Liu Xiaoyuan, then stopped the car and said, "Get out of the car, I don't want to see you again!"
Holy crap! So direct! I'd be more than happy to get off the bus.
Liu Xiaoyuan had just opened the car door and stepped out when he suddenly heard a sobbing sound. There were only himself and Murong Yuyan in the car, so the sobbing sound must still be Murong Yuyan's.
Damn it, why is Murong Yuyan crying? I didn't bully her, what's she crying about?
Liu Xiaoyuan retrieved the leg he had sold, then leaned over the passenger seat and looked ahead, where he saw Murong Yuyan crying.
"Hey big star, why are you crying?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked helplessly.
The three things men fear most about women are crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide, especially when a beautiful woman like Murong Yuyan cries in front of you, looking pitiful and delicate.
"Hey, stop crying, it breaks my heart to see you cry," Liu Xiaoyuan said.
Murong Yuyan took out a tissue to wipe away her tears and sobbed, "It's none of your business. Get out of the car. It's none of your business."
Liu Xiaoyuan knew that Murong Yuyan was angry because he refused to help her.
Sigh! If Murong Yuyan hadn't cried, Liu Xiaoyuan would have gotten out of the car immediately, but getting out now wouldn't seem like a man's style.
"Hey big star, what do you want from me to stop crying?" Liu Xiaoyuan was most afraid of women crying; their pitiful appearance was something he couldn't bear to see.
Murong Yuyan said, "Unless you agree to pretend to be my boyfriend."
Liu Xiaoyuan really didn't want to be this shield, but seeing Murong Yuyan's tearful appearance, he couldn't bear to refuse. It was a difficult decision!
Seeing that Liu Xiaoyuan did not respond, Murong Yuyan sobbed even louder.
Hearing Murong Yuyan sobbing, Liu Xiaoyuan finally couldn't help but say, "Alright, alright, stop crying. I promise you, okay?"
"real?"
"real!"
"Liu Xiaoyuan, you're so kind!" Murong Yuyan immediately stopped crying and started smiling.
Oh my god! I've been tricked! This woman has fooled me.
