Quick Transmigration: Saving The Crazy Villainess

Chapter 84: Feng Ru (42)

"Brother He."

He turned his head at her who started walking side by side with him towards the exit of the center. His voice was laced with awe as he laughed and said, "Miss, you're making me sigh in defeat... I'm wearing a cap and a face-mask but you can still recognize me. "

"Hehe, it's not difficult." When she beamed at him proudly, many of those around them stared at Jiang Li with envy. Such a beautiful lady was smiling, why couldn't they be the one to receive it?

"I'm always with you so I can recognize you just even if you're just showing your back," said the girl whose eyes seemed to be incapable of holding any other but him.

"Sounds like a stalker."

"I used to be. And I didn't regret it. Because now, I am your girlfriend." She stuck her tongue out playfully, eliciting a chuckle from him. Her eyes couldn't help but radiate more delight when he didn't contradict her words. 'God knows how happy I am that you're not denying our relationship.'

Jiang Li glanced at the woman dressed in a grey jacket and faded blue jeans. It had been two weeks since she started becoming attached to him, but as the clever girl that she was, or perhaps from observing him for quite a long time, she knew how not to get on his nerves and would not cross any line she should not.

Don't ask him why she followed him here though. He didn't know. And since it was not a big deal, he didn't plan to know.

'Curiosity can kill. Who knows, her reason might shock me to death.'

It was late afternoon, around 5 pm. The two of them ended up strolling the nearby park which had a nice view of Aurora's bay. After that, they entered a classy Western restaurant that he knew Na Yu's family also owned. The girl never told him about this but the dots were just too obvious and easy to connect. Blame this place for having the same ambiance and style of decorations as that one near the university.

"He Chen, I've been curious about it for a long while now. How come you sometimes seem more refined than me when eating or doing anything? Are you secretly some bigshots' heir?"

As Na Yu chewed on her food, she asked the man sitting across her. She observed that the way he dined really resembled those from the higher society.

Na Yu was from a rich family but she was not truly one belonging to that circle. For this reason, even though, her face was very exquisite, her lack of the necessary temperament and air of nobleness easily differentiated her from those people. Yet the person in front of her showed signs that he was one of them. It was pretty confusing.

Jiang Li rolled his eyes at her. "Son of a bigshot? No, I'm not. Haven't you gotten close to the nurses and staffs there? I suspect they already showed you my Dad's profile."

The girl's smile stiffened, but she disliked lying, hence she nodded.

Jiang Li laughingly continued, "There you have it, the most solid proof. If not for Cheng Du, I don't know where else I can get the money to admit my Dad there before Pesticide became popular."

She blinked her eyes. "I don't know why I felt like the last thing you said is not true."

"Hmm? Why did you say so?"

"Gut feeling. I don't think without Pesticide being popular, you won't be able to solve the admission issue."

'... Uhh. Well, in reality, I never depended on my income as a song artist to pay our bills. It's easier to do robbery. I've never been thankful as now that this is still a modern world.' 

Outwardly though, he coughed and said, "Girl, don't overestimate me. If I really have no other options, I'd probably rob a bank or sell my body. I'm a principled person so I would probably lean more towards the latter."

For once, Na Yu was so speechless, she didn't know if her face should blush or lose color. She asked, "Is it because you feel like self-sacrifice is better than hurting other people? That's why you don't prefer robbing a bank?"

"Nah, you think too much. The latter is easier, and less life-risky."

While Na Yu gaped from speechlessness, Jiang Li sarcastically added in his head 'Since my face is on the good-looking side, being an escort will take less effort and give more return to me. But at the same time, once it gets to the x-rated part, I'll easily bag the scumbag award of the year.'

"Uhm, He Chen... I'm so glad our band becomes famous so let's not talk about that anymore."

Jiang Li's lips curled into a grin. "Oh, but what if I don't want to. I'm fine describing my whole plans to you in full details, especially that one which has a greater probability of being chosen by me."

"... I beg you, let's just eat."

He responded to her with a slight smile. 

Na Yu felt some regret in her heart because so many unspeakable scenes starring him suddenly played in her imagination without warning. The pictures were so blush-inducing yet funny; it immediately shattered the rich-son-impression of him in her mind with sharp breaking sounds.

Two minutes passed in silence before they were disturbed by someone. And this someone was not a nobody, but the greatest personage in this world, the male lead.

'The heck, why is this guy here and how did he know it's us in this private booth?' Jiang Li threw a brooding gaze towards the staff behind Gu Feng and contemplated whether these people sold their boss' granddaughter's whereabouts after being made to cooperate by a police officer.

"Miss Na, Mister He, it's nice meeting you two again." 

When the upright officer walked towards their table, Jiang Li's eyes darkened. Was it just him, or there was something wrong with how the other man greeted and looked at Na Yu first before him?
