"Do you believe what he said?" Chen Haoxuan said to Leah before turning and walking away.
He Haoming reached out to stop Chen Haoxuan. He was no longer afraid of Chen Haoxuan because his current girlfriend was Leah, the daughter of the president of the American Soaring Group. If Chen Haoxuan dared to do anything to him, he would have Leah use the power of the Flying Group to pressure Chen Haoxuan.
"I told you that you are very annoying," Chen Haoxuan coldly replied to He Haoming. After saying this, Chen Haoxuan quickly grabbed He Haoming's hand that was blocking him, turned his body, and forcefully threw He Haoming over his shoulder.
"Ah—!" He Haoming screamed in mid-air, and with a thud, he landed on the lawn three meters away from Chen Haoxuan. Fortunately, he fell three meters away; if it had been within two meters, he would have been in trouble since that area was concrete.
"Overestimating yourself," Chen Haoxuan said disdainfully to He Haoming before clapping his hands and leaving.
"Oh my God! Why is this guy so fierce? Didn't He Haoming say he was a pretty boy? How could someone like him possibly be a pretty boy?" Leah exclaimed as she watched Chen Haoxuan's stylish figure disappear. She had seen many boys from China, but this was the first time she encountered a man like Chen Haoxuan. She felt that someone as handsome as him shouldn't be so fierce; he should be more refined. However, Chen Haoxuan gave her a very unique impression.
He Haoming got up from the ground and awkwardly ran over to Leah. "Leah, Chen Haoxuan is too despicable. He said you're not good-looking and even hit me. Let's team up to pressure him at Communication Mobile City, what do you think?"
Hearing the name Chen Haoxuan, Leah suddenly remembered someone who had become particularly famous online; his name was indeed Chen Haoxuan. She recalled seeing photos online and realized that the person she just met was the same one that girls online referred to as the Prince Charming, Chen Haoxuan.
"Are you saying that guy just now is Chen Haoxuan? The one who carved the Thousand Buddha Stone Pagoda?" Leah excitedly asked He Haoming. She really liked the things that Chen Haoxuan carved, such as the Stone Carved Lotus and Stone Sculpture, which she had seen online. She had heard that Chen Haoxuan only carved three things: one was the Stone Carved Lotus, another was the Stone Sculpture, and the last was the Thousand Buddha Stone Pagoda. The owners of the lotus and sculpture were at New City University.
At the same time, she knew that many wealthy individuals in Europe offered billions to reserve works by Chen Haoxuan, but he turned them all down. She had only seen such ambition in Chen Haoxuan. Her father had insisted she spend time with He Haoming because she knew he studied at New City University. She had asked He Haoming to take her there with the goal of meeting the mysterious Chen Haoxuan and casually asking him to carve her a flower.
"Yes! What's wrong?" He Haoming asked curiously.
With a slap, Leah hit He Haoming and pouted, "You lied to me! Chen Haoxuan is not like that at all. Hmph! I'm going to find Chen Haoxuan; don't follow me."
Leah chased after the direction where Chen Haoxuan had just left. Proud girls are like this; she already had a good impression of Chen Haoxuan. After their encounter, his unique personality piqued her strong interest in him.
"Leah!" He Haoming shouted at Leah's back.
Leah ignored He Haoming and continued to chase after Chen Haoxuan. She wanted to learn more about him and hoped he could help her carve something exquisite. As for He Haoming, she had no fondness for him; if it weren't for her father forcing her to come to China and date He Haoming, she would never be with someone like him, who only knew how to flatter others.
Watching Leah walk away, He Haoming was furious. He clenched his fists and bit his lip, coldly saying, "That cheap girl, getting infatuated with a pretty boy. Hmph, just wait until I marry you; I'll show you how to behave."
Chen Haoxuan was walking slowly, enjoying the campus scenery as he made his way to the Girls' Dormitory. Therefore, he hadn't gone far when Leah caught up with him.
"Chen Haoxuan, wait!" Leah shouted loudly in English.
Hearing the voice, Chen Haoxuan turned around and saw Leah running towards him. He wondered if she was coming to seek revenge for He Haoming.
Leah ran breathlessly up to Chen Haoxuan and said sweetly, "Mr. Chen, I'm really sorry about earlier. I didn't recognize you as Chen Haoxuan; I'm truly sorry."
"You know me?" Chen Haoxuan asked, pointing at his nose.
"Of course! You're quite the sensation worldwide; how could I not know? Plus, I even have your poster!" Leah said playfully.
"A poster? Did someone make a poster of my photo for sale? Isn't that piracy?" Chen Haoxuan questioned.
"Who told you to be so handsome!" Leah smiled at Chen Haoxuan.
"Did you come to find me for something?" Chen Haoxuan asked.
"Yes, I would like to ask you to carve a flower for me, preferably a rose. As for the price, you can set it as you wish," Leah said excitedly. She guessed that since the Thousand Buddha Stone Pagoda was so large and cost 1.1 billion Renminbi, her small rose should only cost a few million Renminbi at most.
"Alright! You give me 500 million Renminbi, and I'll start working on it right away," Chen Haoxuan replied with a faint smile.
"Five—five hundred million Renminbi? You—are you kidding me? Your Thousand Buddha Stone Pagoda is so big and only costs 100 million Renminbi. Mine is so small, and you're asking for 500 million Renminbi? Are you joking?" Leah exclaimed, holding up five fingers in surprise.
"Because I don't want to carve anything at the moment, so if I am to start carving, it has to be something that excites me. The minimum price that excites me is 500 million Renminbi; anything less than that, I can't be bothered," Chen Haoxuan said arrogantly.
Proud, even more so than her, was Leah's first impression of Chen Haoxuan. "Then why did you help those two girls with their carvings?" Leah asked unhappily.
"Oh, yours are Zhang Beining and Hua Lingwei, right? They are my friends. Carving for them is an act of friendship; it's not something that can be measured in money," Chen Haoxuan explained calmly.
"I—I can also be your friend!" Leah said coyly. As soon as she said it, she regretted it; she felt that saying this lowered her status. Everyone wanted to get close to her and be friends with her; it felt too cheap for Chen Haoxuan.
However, what Leah never expected was that Chen Haoxuan rejected her without a second thought. "Just meeting and chatting makes us friends? Then I have plenty of friends already. You should hurry back to find He Haoming! If you don't go back soon, he might get jealous!" Chen Haoxuan said.
