"Ah— rented? This is too ridiculous, isn't it?" Hua Tianyu exclaimed in surprise. Renting a house, renting land, renting a car... he had heard of all those, but never of renting a person.
"Hehehe... Dad, what's so surprising about this? In this day and age, what is impossible?" Zhou Kexin explained. She rented Chen Haoxuan out of necessity because her father's gathering required a male partner to enter. Plus, she didn't want others to look down on her or have those suitors bother her, so she spent a high price to rent Chen Haoxuan for one night.
"High price? How much? One million or ten million?" Hua Tianyu asked curiously. After his brief interaction with Chen Haoxuan, he believed Chen Haoxuan was a business genius, which made him doubt that Zhou Kexin spent over a million to rent him.
Hua Lingwei extended her right hand and opened five fingers.
"Five million?" Hua Tianyu guessed when he saw his daughter showing five fingers.
Hua Lingwei shook her head with a smile.
"Ah— Zhou Kexin actually spent fifty million Renminbi to rent Chen Haoxuan for one night. That's just too expensive!" Hua Tianyu exclaimed in shock. He had initially thought about renting Chen Haoxuan for a few hours like Zhou Kexin to discuss business knowledge, but now it seemed impossible because he couldn't bear to spend that much money.
Hua Lingwei couldn't hold back any longer; she bent over, holding her stomach, and laughed heartily: "Hahaha... Dad, I really admire you. You even thought of fifty million Renminbi as the rental price. If I told you how much Zhou Kexin actually spent to rent Chen Haoxuan for one night, you would be too embarrassed."
"You little brat, is that how you talk to your dad? Just tell me how much Zhou Kexin spent to rent Chen Haoxuan for one night!" Hua Tianyu said impatiently.
Hua Lingwei extended her cute paw again and said with a smile: "Fifty thousand Renminbi."
"Ah— fifty thousand Renminbi can rent a business genius for one night? Zhou Kexin is so lucky!" Hua Tianyu said enviously.
"My dear dad, let's go inside first. I can explain everything to you slowly," Hua Lingwei said as she pulled her father into the Hotel Villa.
Inside Hotel Villa, Zhou Kexin and Chen Haoxuan quickly found themselves surrounded by a large group of people. In reality, they were only interested in Zhou Kexin! However, Chen Haoxuan seemed to be glued to Zhou Kexin, making it impossible for anyone to separate them.
"Zhou Kexin, you look beautiful today. Zhou Kexin, you're here! I've been waiting for you for a long time. Zhou Kexin, would you like to dance with me later? Zhou Kexin..." The crowd around Zhou Kexin kept calling out to her.
Zhou Kexin felt as if a swarm of annoying flies was buzzing around her, so she pinched Chen Haoxuan's waist lightly. She had already agreed with Chen Haoxuan that he would pretend to be her boyfriend today, and after this day, they would announce their breakup. Therefore, she pinched Chen Haoxuan as a hint for him to fulfill the responsibilities of a boyfriend.
Chen Haoxuan understood Zhou Kexin's meaning behind the pinch and smiled at the people surrounding her, saying, "Excuse me, everyone, my girlfriend prefers peace and quiet. I hope you can understand."
The crowd around Zhou Kexin was left speechless upon hearing Chen Haoxuan's words; even Hua Tianyu and his daughter, who had just entered, were stunned. Weren't they supposed to be renting someone to fend off suitors? How did it turn real? Hua Tianyu thought in shock.
He Haoming was also present today, but unlike others who surrounded Zhou Kexin, he noticed Chen Haoxuan standing next to her. Upon hearing Chen Haoxuan's words, a sly smile crept onto his lips. He thought to himself, "So you really want this? Then I'll help you."
He Haoming stood up and loudly declared, "I don't think you two look like a couple. If you are, then kiss each other."
"Yeah! Show us a kiss; otherwise, we have the right to pursue Zhou Kexin!" The crowd around Zhou Kexin shouted in unison, demanding that she and Chen Haoxuan kiss.
"Who do you think you are to demand we kiss? Hmph." Zhou Kexin frowned angrily at the people surrounding her.
A hefty guy weighing over two hundred pounds looked sincerely at Zhou Kexin and said, "Zhou Kexin, I know you hate being bothered by others all the time. I also know you dislike me because I'm fat. You have the right to dislike us, but we have the freedom to like you. If you say this man is your boyfriend, then kiss him for us to see; after all, you're a couple—what's there to be afraid of?"
"Exactly! Zhou Kexin, if you kiss him, we promise not to bother you anymore," others chimed in.
"You...you... fine! I'll kiss him!" Zhou Kexin was so flustered by her pursuers that she lost her composure.
Zhou Kexin turned around, raised her head, and looked as if she was inviting anyone to take her. With flushed cheeks, she said to Chen Haoxuan, "Kiss me."
Chen Haoxuan slowly leaned in, and just when Zhou Kexin thought he was about to kiss her, she suddenly heard him say something that would be enough for her to hate him for a lifetime. Chen Haoxuan quietly told Zhou Kexin, "I can kiss you, but you need to add another ten thousand Renminbi."
If there weren't so many people watching, Zhou Kexin might have grabbed her bag and hit Chen Haoxuan. Now she felt stuck on the stairs; she wanted to go up, but Chen Haoxuan wasn't cooperating. She wanted to come down but had no excuse and no one to help her out. In frustration, Zhou Kexin wrapped her arms around Chen Haoxuan's neck, stood on her tiptoes, and quickly kissed him.
Zhou Kexin succeeded; her sudden attack stole Chen Haoxuan's first kiss and gave away her own first kiss as well. Not knowing how to kiss properly, she kept her lips pressed against his without moving. Chen Haoxuan didn't move either; he was still tangled up in a thought! He wondered, "Did you agree to add another ten thousand Renminbi when you suddenly kissed me?"
"Woo woo woo... My Zhou Kexin is really with someone else now. Woo... I'm so sad; I want to leave this sad place." The chubby guy who had just seen Zhou Kexin actually kiss Chen Haoxuan burst into tears and turned to leave.
Hua Tianyu turned to his daughter and asked, "Vivi, didn't you say they were just pretending to be a couple? Why are they kissing now?"
Hua Lingwei shrugged and shook her head. "I don't know either. The only way to find out is to wait until the gathering is over and ask Zhou Kexin herself." After answering her father's question, Hua Lingwei continued to watch the kissing couple with envy. To be honest, she envied Zhou Kexin because she knew what kissing felt like while she did not! She was also puzzled by the thought that had unexpectedly crossed her mind—wanting to try kissing Chen Haoxuan herself. That thought surprised even her.
