Murong Yuyan was going to attend a cocktail party, which was very important and attended by people of high status.
Murong Yuyan had no choice but to go, but when she thought about how she would be harassed by those rich kids if she went, she came up with the idea of having Liu Xiaoyuan pretend to be her boyfriend.
Besides, Murong Yuyan already had feelings for Liu Xiaoyuan, and thought that this opportunity might allow them to turn their fake relationship into a real one. That's why Murong Yuyan asked Liu Xiaoyuan to pretend to be her boyfriend.
On the way, Murong Yuyan gave Liu Xiaoyuan a brief account of the party. Not only would some investors attend, but many bigwigs in the business world would also be there; it was a gathering of the wealthy.
Of course, such gatherings would also inevitably include the sons of powerful families.
The party was held in a large villa. To own such a large villa in Beijing, where land is incredibly expensive, one must be extremely wealthy.
The car stopped in the villa's parking lot. As soon as Liu Xiaoyuan got out, wow, it was all luxury cars. The rims of these cars were worth more than the pickup truck at Liu Xiaoyuan's house.
"Take my hand!" Murong Yuyan immediately reminded him when she saw Liu Xiaoyuan standing blankly beside her.
"Oh," Liu Xiaoyuan replied, and immediately took Murong Yuyan's arm, and the two walked into the villa like a couple.
As soon as Liu Xiaoyuan entered the villa, he was attracted by its luxurious decoration, which was magnificent and extremely extravagant.
The ground floor of the villa is basically a large hall, where dozens of people are sitting or standing, all of them dressed very appropriately and with great poise.
Tonight, Murong Yuyan specially wore a low-cut white evening gown to attend this party, exuding a pure yet alluring sexiness, which was quite appropriate.
Liu Xiaoyuan's attire seemed out of place at the party, as he was dressed in cheap clothes from a street vendor; the clothes, pants, and shoes together were worth very little.
At this kind of gathering of wealthy people, anyone with a discerning eye could see at a glance that Liu Xiaoyuan's outfit was a blatant rip-off.
"Look, Murong Yuyan is here!" As soon as Murong Yuyan entered the room, she immediately caused a small commotion, especially among the young men, who all turned their attention to her.
"Who's that kid next to Murong Yuyan? He's dressed so plainly, who is he?"
"Could it be Murong Yuyan's bodyguard? But that doesn't make sense; a bodyguard wouldn't be holding hands with Murong Yuyan."
"Could he be Murong Yuyan's boyfriend? But wait, Murong Yuyan doesn't have a boyfriend yet. So who is this guy?"
"Damn it! I don't care who he is, seeing him holding hands with my goddess makes me want to punch him."
When Liu Xiaoyuan saw everyone looking at him, he knew that he had unknowingly offended many people again.
Immediately, a handsome young man approached Murong Yuyan with two wine glasses, smiling and saying, "Yuyan, would you do me the honor of having a drink?"
After speaking, the handsome man handed the wine glass in his right hand to Murong Yuyan, hoping that she would take it.
Murong Yuyan glanced at the wine glass in front of her, then smiled and said, "Sorry, my boyfriend doesn't like me drinking with other men!"
Upon hearing this, the handsome man showed a slightly embarrassed expression. He glanced at Liu Xiaoyuan one last time, said "It's nothing," and left.
After the handsome man returned defeated, a group of young men immediately surrounded him, asking what had happened. When the handsome man told them the truth, the young men's gazes toward Liu Xiaoyuan immediately turned angry.
“Big star, you’ve got me killed! Did you see that? Those wolves think I stole their prey, and now they consider me an enemy,” Liu Xiaoyuan said.
When Murong Yuyan heard Liu Xiaoyuan compare her to prey, she was so angry that she pinched Liu Xiaoyuan when no one was looking and said, "You are the prey, hmph!"
"Yuyan, who is this handsome guy next to you? Aren't you going to introduce him to me?" At this moment, a sexy woman walked up to Murong Yuyan and looked Liu Xiaoyuan up and down with her beautiful eyes.
Liu Xiaoyuan knew this woman. Her name was Shen Qingwen, and she was an actress. She was quite popular at the time, but she also had a lot of negative news.
"Qingwen, this is my boyfriend," Murong Yuyan said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingwen immediately looked Liu Xiaoyuan up and down again, wondering what Murong Yuyan saw in him. Was it just his good looks?
"Swift, what does your boyfriend do?" Shen Qingwen asked with a smile.
Shen Qingwen and Murong Yuyan are both artists under Huangcheng Media, but one works in the film and television industry while the other is in the singing field. There shouldn't be any conflict between them, but the strange thing is that they are of similar age and both very famous, so Shen Qingwen inevitably compares herself to Murong Yuyan.
Although Shen Qingwen is also quite popular and has a constant stream of film and television offers, she is still somewhat behind Murong Yuyan in terms of fan appeal and other aspects. This makes Shen Qingwen jealous and she always wants to compete with Murong Yuyan.
Murong Yuyan wasn't stupid, not the kind of naive and innocent character portrayed on TV. She naturally knew that Shen Qingwen was secretly competing with her, but she just didn't bother with her.
Murong Yuyan knew that Shen Qingwen had a purpose in inquiring about Liu Xiaoyuan. If she found out that Liu Xiaoyuan was just an ordinary person, Shen Qingwen wouldn't let such a good opportunity pass by to ridicule Murong Yuyan.
"Me? I'm a freelancer, or you could say a farmer!" Liu Xiaoyuan said directly.
Upon hearing this, Murong Yuyan glared at Liu Xiaoyuan with anger, knowing she was in trouble. Liu Xiaoyuan had said he was a farmer, and Shen Qingwen would definitely not let such a good opportunity pass her by.
"A farmer? Handsome guy, are you kidding me?" Shen Qingwen found it hard to believe that Murong Yuyan would date a farmer.
"Beautiful lady, what good would it do me to lie to you? Believe it or not, it's up to you!" Liu Xiaoyuan said.
Holy crap! So arrogant? Is this guy really some country bumpkin who's never seen the world, daring to talk to me like that?
"Xiao Yuan, what nonsense are you talking about?" Murong Yuyan glared at Liu Xiaoyuan and said.
Murong Yuyan regretted it. If she had known this guy would say that, she should have reminded him on the way here.
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "Swift, one should be honest, not hypocritical. Besides, I am proud to be a farmer!"
Seeing this, Shen Qingwen was basically convinced that Liu Xiaoyuan was a farmer, because Murong Yuyan's behavior just now clearly showed that she didn't want her boyfriend to tell the truth, but her boyfriend was just being silly.
"Interesting, really interesting! Murong Yuyan actually found a boyfriend who's a farmer!" Shen Qingwen thought to herself with pride.
