Li Yufei navigated, and Yang Feilong rode his bicycle, carrying her, talking as they went.
Yang Feilong couldn't help but ask, "By the way, everyone else brought their boyfriends, can't you not bring one?"
"What do you mean? Are you unwilling?" Li Yufei asked, a little displeased. "If you're not willing, I won't force you, I'll just go by myself!"
"How could I? I'm just a little curious," Yang Feilong said helplessly. "If I said I wouldn't go, who knows what you'd say about me being a heartless man."
"The people attending the party are colleagues I met at my internship. Family members are allowed, and many people will bring their family members. So, I want to bring one too," Li Yufei explained, blushing.
"Is that the only reason?" Yang Feilong chuckled lightly.
Li Yufei's face stiffened, and she snorted, saying, "Of course not. The manager of our department has been pursuing me, and I was so annoyed that I said I had a boyfriend."
"Oh, I see, so I'm going to be a shield!" Yang Feilong exclaimed, suddenly enlightened.
"What? You don't want to?" Li Yufei asked with a hint of dissatisfaction.
"How could I? I'm happy to serve my princess and drive away flies. That's my essential job!" Yang Feilong immediately assured her.
"Hmph, that's more like it. But speaking of which, who knows which princess you are to me," Li Yufei said with a touch of melancholy. "Like that beautiful female patrol officer today, I think your relationship is very unusual, because the way she looked at you was very aggressive."
"Ahem." Hearing Li Yufei's words, which were full of resentment, Yang Feilong felt inexplicably awkward. "Uh, this is actually only our second time meeting. We're barely friends. Don't misunderstand."
"Just the second meeting, and you're so happy to see me? Just the second meeting and you bought me a phone!" Li Yufei scoffed. "I don't believe it."
"This is our first meeting," Yang Feilong said faintly. "You bought me a phone too."
Li Yufei: "..."
At this moment, Li Yufei seemed to wake up from a dream, her face suddenly turned very red, because she realized that this was her first time meeting Yang Feilong, but why did it feel like she had known him for a long time!
Soon, she understood.
"You and I are different from you and her. Although we haven't known each other for less than a day, we've been through a lot together," Li Yufei argued. "It's like we're old friends."
Indeed, they had gone through a lot that day. They met at the antique shop, she kindly chased after him to remind him of the risk of exposing his wealth, then they encountered a kidnapping, were threatened to do certain things, and then he rescued her, after which she accompanied him to the bank, then to rescue someone, bought a car, and then went for a bike ride.
The two of them had experienced too many unforgettable and meaningful things in a short period.
Yang Feilong wanted to explain that he and Lin Yunxi had also gone through quite a bit, not much less than today, involving hero saving damsel, healing and saving people, abandoning guilt, and so on. But after thinking about it, he decided against it.
He had realized that Li Yufei was a bit petty. If he said it, who knew what trouble she might stir up.
Yes, his feeling should be correct.
It was past five in the afternoon.
Yang Feilong rode his bicycle with Li Yufei to a restaurant.
"This restaurant looks quite upscale!" Yang Feilong marveled.
"It's just so-so," Li Yufei said calmly. Although she was just an intern with a low salary, her family was well-off, and her pocket money was much more than her salary!
Otherwise, how could she, who had only been interning for two or three months, afford to buy Yang Feilong a phone worth over eight thousand yuan?
Her own phone was also worth over eight thousand!
She had been to places several levels better than this countless times.
In this regard, Yang Feilong, a child from the 'mountains,' was naturally no match.
As soon as they parked the car, Yang Feilong and Li Yufei were about to walk into the restaurant when a female voice called out from behind them: "Li Yufei, you're here too. Is this handsome guy the boyfriend you mentioned before?"
They looked over and saw a woman. She was about the same age and height as Li Yufei, but her figure and looks were quite different.
If the campus beauty goddess was a hundred points, Li Yufei was a hundred points, and this woman was only seventy points. Of course, seventy points was still quite good compared to many girls, but compared to Li Yufei, she was like an ugly duckling meeting a swan.
"Renee." Li Yufei's eyes flickered slightly at the mention of her name. Then, she hooked her arm around Yang Feilong's, and said sweetly, "That's right, this is my boyfriend. Isn't my boyfriend handsome?"
"He's undeniably incredibly handsome!" Renee licked her lips slightly. She had to admit that Yang Feilong's appearance was impeccable. He was 1.88 meters tall, and although his clothes looked ordinary, they couldn't hide his excellent demeanor, like a chivalrous hero.
Yes.
Yang Feilong gave her the feeling of a righteous and chivalrous hero from a TV drama.
If Yang Feilong knew what Renee was thinking, he would definitely praise her, "Young lady, you have excellent taste. You even saw through my inner self!"
Li Yufei's eyes showed a hint of displeasure when she saw Renee's aggressive gaze at Yang Feilong. No matter what, Yang Feilong was her boyfriend, even if only temporarily. She didn't want Yang Feilong to be coveted by this woman who was rumored to have loose morals.
"Let's go, don't keep Manager Tian waiting!" Renee naturally noticed Li Yufei's protectiveness of Yang Feilong. She smiled and said, "Manager Tian Lei has always thought you didn't have a boyfriend. If he knew you really brought one, he'd be heartbroken!"
"Renee, don't talk nonsense. I've always regarded Manager Tian as a senior!" Li Yufei said coldly. "Besides, I don't want my boyfriend to misunderstand anything?"
"Hehe." Renee smiled and didn't dwell on the matter further. She could see that Li Yufei was on the verge of exploding with anger, and she didn't want to incur her wrath.
"Yufei, you're here. These flowers look nice, a gift for you." As soon as they reached the restaurant entrance, a young man in a suit holding flowers stepped forward with a smile.
However, after taking two steps towards Li Yufei, his expression froze slightly, because he saw Li Yufei's hands wrapped around a man's arm. A hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, but it was fleeting.
"Yufei, this is..." Tian Lei asked with a smile.
"Manager Tian, this is my boyfriend Yang Feilong. I mentioned earlier that family members were allowed, so bringing my family member is okay, right?" Li Yufei asked naturally, smiling.
"Well... it seems no one else brought anyone," Tian Lei said with a slightly embarrassed smile.
"If that's the case, then my boyfriend and I will leave now," Li Yufei said indifferently.
Hearing Li Yufei's ungracious words, Tian Lei's expression stiffened slightly.
"Li Yufei, Manager Tian didn't say you couldn't bring anyone!" Renee said with a smile. "Right, Manager Tian?"
"Renee is right. I said earlier that family members were allowed. It's not your fault that others didn't bring anyone," Tian Lei said with a smile, scoffing inwardly. After all, he was in a high position, and someone had given him a way out, so he naturally took it.
If things escalated now and the other party got angry and resigned, interning elsewhere, he would lose the chance to pursue Li Yufei forever.
As long as the other party was still in the same company, he had countless ways to make the newcomer and Li Yufei fall out. After all, as the saying goes, if you swing the hoe well, you don't have to worry about the wall not being dug down. Moreover, Li Yufei's boyfriend seemed like someone who hadn't truly entered society yet, and dealing with such a workplace rookie, he had countless methods to make him and Li Yufei break up.
At that moment, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and he didn't mention the flowers again. He greeted the three of them with a smile, "Let's go inside. Everyone else is here, only you are missing!"
