Chapter 424: Chapter 416: A Dood Relationship, Truly Dood!
The internet exploded.
“Holy moly, my shipped couple beca real?!”
“? Did Chen Xixi just ga the system?! She won five million prize money and the best entertainnt company contract on a money-saving variety show! And in the end, she even managed to bring ho the handso and wealthy sponsor! She’s like the ultimate winner in life, right?!”
“Ahhhh! Chen Xixi’s life, my dream!!”
“Got my dream material for tonight! I want to have a dream just like Chen Xixi’s life!”
“Not to ntion it, taking my bestie to the crematorium because she’s green with envy.”
“Calm down everyone, they just live in the sa neighborhood, no need to make a big deal out of it!”
“Just because it’s the sa neighborhood doesn’t an there’s only one apartnt, and this kind of high-end neighborhood has a lot of rich second-generation kids, rich people. Isn’t it normal for President Zhou to live here? What’s so surprising about that!”
“Isn’t Chen Xixi super thrifty? How could she afford to live in a luxury apartnt?”
“Probably aiming for so capital backing, after all, she’s got so money and fa now, tasted the sweetness of wealth and fa, wants to climb higher, no?”
“Perhaps she’s targeting President Zhou, right? Suddenly, I realized that every ti Chen Xixi and President Zhou are on a show, they have interactions, could it be that her initial goal was set on President Zhou? Competing in the money-saving variety show to win prize money, signing with Nanxing Entertainnt, all to get close to President Zhou, and later pairing up as a couple on a romance show… Think about it, too purposeful!”
“Damn! I didn’t notice until the person above pointed it out! Now that they say it, I suddenly feel I can’t ship them anymore!”
“Chen Xixi’s scheming is really too much!”
Chen Xixi faced the first full-scale internet backlash of her career.
And the number of haters leading the charge grew more and more, swarming over Chen Xixi’s Weibo.
Lu Wenling saw the trending searches in an instant and imdiately called Zhou Jinyuan to ask how to handle it.
Zhou Jinyuan was silent for a mont: “Let’s start with PR.”
Lu Wenling gossiped: “Are you two really cohabiting?”
Zhou Jinyuan replied coolly, “If you can’t sleep at night, you can work overti.”
Lu Wenling cursed ‘Boss Zhou’ inwardly, then cheekily said, “I can sleep just fine, but you, chasing all the way to the sa neighborhood and still not winning her over, can you really sleep well at night? Tsk tsk, the agony of unrequited love, yet the person sleeps soundly, oblivious to your suffering!”
After provoking Zhou Jinyuan, Lu Wenling felt extrely triumphant!
Unrequited love?
Right now, it’s an openly acknowledged love.
Zhou Jinyuan’s lips curved slightly, his deep voice tinged with a touch of pride: “I am respecting my girlfriend’s wishes.”
“What?!”
“Girlfriend?!” Lu Wenling exclaid in disbelief: “Damn! You guys are together now?”
Lu Wenling was instantly annoyed!
It even felt like he had rushed in the middle of the night to feast on Zhou Jinyuan’s lovey-dovey leftovers!
Zhou Jinyuan was definitely doing it on purpose! Deliberately rubbing it in for him, the single dog!
The most crucial question was, how did Zhou Jinyuan win her over?
Lu Wenling was particularly puzzled.
Just by secretly watching her behind the computer screen every day, he won her over like that?
That seed too easy!
Zhou Jinyuan spoke indifferently: “Yeah, rember to keep your distance from my girlfriend in the future.”
Lu Wenling laughed: “I could compete for your girlfriend? Don’t think I’m like you!”
It was him who had his eyes on her first, but Zhou Jinyuan forbade him from making a move.
So, no matter how you slice it, it was Zhou Jinyuan who snatched the girl he had been eyeing.
Zhou Jinyuan suddenly asked: “Do you rember how we t?”
“Course I do, I was playing with mud in the yard, and you would pass by every day, always sneaking peeks at , I rember it clearly!”
It was because of this that Lu Wenling and Zhou Jinyuan started hanging out together. Zhou Jinyuan always watched him, and he felt Zhou Jinyuan really wanted to be good friends with him, so he decided to give Zhou Jinyuan a chance, proudly taking Zhou Jinyuan under his wing as a little brother.
It was only later that he discovered he’d brought himself a living King of Hell…
Thinking about it gave him a heart attack—it was a cursed fate, truly cursed!
However, the next second, Zhou Jinyuan’s words caused Lu Wenling to clutch at his heart again!
Zhou Jinyuan: “The place where you lived when you were young used to be Chen Xixi’s family ho.”
“!!!”
Lu Wenling was shocked once more!
He seed to suddenly understand why Zhou Jinyuan always looked at him every ti he passed by their house.
To be precise, Zhou Jinyuan wasn’t really looking at him; he was checking to see if Chen Xixi was still there, if she would co back!
All these years, he had mistakenly devoted himself!
He thought their relationship was brotherly, but in fact, when Zhou Jinyuan hung out with him, he was always thinking of Chen Xixi, who lived in that house!
He was just a stand-in!
Lu Wenling slumped on the couch, let out a bitter laugh, and said weakly, “Listen.”
“?”
“The sound of my heart shattering…”
“…”
“I’m not feeling great right now. How about you compensate with so money?” Lu Wenling felt he’d gone too far tonight in provoking Zhou Jinyuan!
Why did he have to nonsensically show off just now?
Now, there’s one more heartbroken person in Jiang City tonight!
Zhou Jinyuan chuckled lightly, “Alright, bring my girlfriend along for a al when you have ti.”
Great, he even wants to flaunt his relationship in front of this lonely single dog!
Suddenly Lu Wenling thought of sothing and asked gossipingly, “Since you two are together, why not just go public with it?”
Zhou Jinyuan’s lips were tightly drawn, “I think… she doesn’t want to.”
Lu Wenling chuckled, “You feel she’s not quite presentable, right? I think so too! An older man with a younger girl, you’re really getting a bargain!”
“…”
Lu Wenling, as if aiming for retribution, continued, “If I were Chen Xixi, I’d just earn enough money and then find a younger, more handso guy!”
Zhou Jinyuan: “If you were Chen Xixi, I still wouldn’t fancy you.”
It wasn’t just the na he fell for but Chen Xixi’s unconstrained, adorable, and slightly clever personality – and of course, the beauty he had watched grow up since she was a child.
Zhou Jinyuan ended the call after saying that.
Lu Wenling quickly got in touch with the public relations departnt to handle Chen Xixi’s negative publicity.
When Chen Xixi woke up in the morning, everything was calm and peaceful.
She had work today and didn’t have ti to browse the internet; just after washing up, she received care from her new neighbor—a lovingly prepared breakfast.
And it was personally made by Zhou Jinyuan.
Chen Xixi looked at the delicate sandwich on the plate and asked incredulously, “Did you take cooking classes?”
Although the thod for making a sandwich isn’t complicated, the pan-fried chicken and eggs inside really test one’s control over the heat, and it’s easy for a newcor to burn the food.
The sandwich that Zhou Jinyuan brought her had chicken and eggs cooked to perfection; the color was just right, not sothing a kitchen newbie could achieve.
Zhou Jinyuan didn’t directly answer but instead smiled and said, “Do you have work today? If you’re free, co to my place for dinner tonight.”
Chen Xixi looked at him skeptically, “Do you have a housekeeper hidden away at your place?”
Zhou Jinyuan raised his eyebrows slightly, “Why couldn’t it be made by ?”
“Weren’t you soone who doesn’t cook?”
Chen Xixi still rembered how on the reality love show, Zhou Jinyuan obviously didn’t even know how to use the most basic kitchen appliances.
A smile glead in Zhou Jinyuan’s eyes, “When you’re really determined to learn, nothing is difficult.”
