Chapter 50 Boyfriend

Lin Chen was startled and asked in surprise, "A... a boyfriend? Young Miss, have you lost your mind?"

An Xueyao said angrily, "What, is being my boyfriend such a grievance for you?"

She glared fiercely at Lin Chen and added, "I mean a fake boyfriend, not a real one. I would never choose a pervert like you to be my boyfriend! There is a terribly annoying guy at my house right now, and I need you to help me get rid of him."

So, after all that talk, she wanted him to act as a human shield.

Lin Chen rolled his eyes, smiled, and said, "Young Miss, I can pretend to be your boyfriend, but I have a condition."

"Hmph, you even have conditions?" An Xueyao glared at him unhappily. "Fine, what condition? Speak."

As soon as she finished speaking, her face flushed red, thinking to herself, *This guy isn't going to ask me to kiss him again, is he?*

Lin Chen said, "I have a younger sister named Bai Lan. She is eighteen years old. Is there any way you can help arrange for her to attend high school?"

"That's not difficult; I can arrange it. But is this Bai Lan really your sister? She couldn't be a sweetheart, could she? You don't even share the same last name!" An Xueyao said with some suspicion.

Lin Chen rolled his eyes and said speechlessly, "Don't make it sound like I'm really a pervert, alright? Where would I get a sweetheart?"

"You are a big pervert to begin with."

The trace of tension in An Xueyao's eyes vanished. She gave a cute huff, grabbed Lin Chen's arm, and pulled him into the villa as she spoke:

"That annoying guy is called Zhang Rongkai. I don't know how he found out that my dad came back early this morning, so he came over again to play Go with my dad. Hmph, this guy is always using playing Go with my dad as an excuse to run over to my house. It's so annoying. You must help me chase him out later—ideally, make sure he never dares to show his face in front of me again!"

Meanwhile, in the living room, two men were gathered around a table, playing a game of Go.

One of them had a square jaw, was in his forties, and exuded an air of natural authority. He was clearly a person who had held a high position for a long time.

He was none other than the chairman of Tianqiong Entertainment and An Xueyao's father, An Zhongzhou.

The other man was around thirty years old, very handsome, and dressed in an expensive black Berluti suit. He gave an impression of meticulous neatness, right down to his hair, which was styled neatly and cleanly with hair wax.

There was a faint hint of confidence in his eyes, and his face wore a smile that easily made people feel favorably disposed toward him. This man was undoubtedly the ideal man in the hearts of the vast majority of women.

His name was Zhang Rongkai. He was the general manager of the multi-billion-dollar Huarong Group and also its future heir. Not long ago, he had been named one of Yuehai City's Top Ten Outstanding Youths.

Zhang Rongkai was frowning, staring intently at the chessboard, before finally smiling bitterly and saying, "Uncle An, no wonder my father said you are practically the Go king of Yuehai City's amateur Go circles. I used to have some confidence in my own skills, but compared to you, I am far inferior. I've lost this game too."

"Go king or no Go king, apart from business, Go is my only hobby. But you're not bad yourself, kid; I'd estimate you're at around an amateur 6-dan level," An Zhongzhou smiled and said.

"It is indeed amateur 6-dan. I participated in the provincial amateur Go tournament held in Yuehai last month and won third place," Zhang Rongkai said with a seemingly modest smile, though a trace of pride lingered in his voice.

Among amateur Go players, the highest rank is 8-dan. A 6-dan level was already enough to become a Go instructor and belonged to the provincial elite, so it was no wonder he felt a bit proud.

"Not bad. To be able to lead Huarong Group to steady heights at such a young age, and to play Go so well—you suit my tastes quite a bit, kid."

An Zhongzhou nodded in praise, then continued, "I know your feelings for Yaoyao, but I can't control that girl anymore. Her matters are for her to decide. If you can make her like you, I won't stand in your way."

"Of course. Naturally, everything should be up to Yaoyao to decide. I just hope I have the fortune to take Yaoyao home as my wife and cherish her for a lifetime," Zhang Rongkai hastily said.

Zhang Rongkai beamed with joy, smiling as radiant as spring.

An Zhongzhou's words were undoubtedly telling him that he had already approved of the matter between him and An Xueyao, and all he needed to do was win An Xueyao over.

As for whether he could win An Xueyao over, Zhang Rongkai was not worried at all. Growing up, there had truly never been a woman he couldn't conquer. Even though An Xueyao was prettier than any woman he had ever slept with and came from a more prominent background, she was still just a woman after all!

And once he conquered An Xueyao, all the assets of the couple An Zhongzhou and Li Qin would eventually become his.

He would capture both the empire and the beauty in one fell swoop.

Just as Zhang Rongkai was feeling excited inside, he suddenly heard a sound from the entrance. He glanced over, and his expression changed slightly.

An Xueyao was actually pulling a man in with her! What made him most furious was that An Xueyao was holding that man's hand!

He had long since convinced himself in his heart that An Xueyao was his future wife, and everything about her belonged to him!

He had imagined countless times holding that exquisite little face in his hands, especially An Xueyao's eyes, which were like stars—simply the most charming jewels in the world. For the rest of her life, only he should exist within those eyes; no other man deserved even a glance!

And yet this man was now touching what was rightfully his. He hadn't even held An Xueyao's hand yet!

Upon seeing this, An Zhongzhou was also startled. He stood up, walked over to greet them, and asked curiously, "Yaoyao, who is this?"

Zhang Rongkai also stood up and walked over. He took a deep breath, suppressing the jealousy and anger on his face, and his charming smile returned to his features.

Zhang Rongkai also inquired, "Yaoyao, is this young brother a friend of yours? Will you introduce him to us?"

Ignoring Zhang Rongkai entirely, An Xueyao looked at An Zhongzhou and smiled, "Dad, this is Lin Chen."

A look of astonishment appeared on An Zhongzhou's face. He naturally knew who Lin Chen was; if not for this person, his daughter would no longer be in this world.

And last night, this person had saved his daughter's life yet again. If not for him, he really would have had to experience the heartbreak of a parent burying a child.

This Lin Chen was clearly very capable, possessing astonishing medical skills and superb martial arts. Even all the bodyguards he had hired for his daughter combined couldn't defeat him.

Although An Xueyao had told him Lin Chen was very young, seeing him in person now, An Zhongzhou still found him to be much younger than he had estimated.

Surprised inwardly, An Zhongzhou had nevertheless experienced countless storms in his life, so his smile remained completely unchanged. He extended his hand toward Lin Chen and said:

"Hello, I am An Xueyao's father, An Zhongzhou. Thank you very much for your help to Yaoyao. If there is anything you ever need my help with, just say the word. As long as it's within my power, I will surely get it done for you."

An Zhongzhou's expression was solemn, making it clear he was not joking.

An Xueyao was the apple of his eye, and Lin Chen had saved her twice—which was no different from saving him twice.

Hearing An Zhongzhou's words, the smile on the side of Zhang Rongkai's face froze.
