Xiao Huizi and He Xiaoer

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

Bu Xiaoshuai glanced at Xu Qianrou quietly. Her appearance and figure were absolutely impeccable. There was a heroic spirit between her eyebrows. It must be said that she was just good-looking.

If he could appreciate a beautiful woman without any pressure, he would be willing to admire her face to face, just like admiring a stunning queen in a game.

But how could I possibly marry such a rich lady?

He stood up and went to urge the boss, then stood beside the stove to watch, and came back with several large plates of skewers.

Invite everyone to eat.

Bu Xiaoshuai lowered his head and spoke in silence, then started eating the skewers. After taking a few bites, he noticed from the corner of his eye that Xu Qianrou didn't seem to do much.

Ye Ge ate and drank heartily, clinking glasses with Liu Yuzhou, feeling very happy.

Xu Qianrou looked at them for a while and asked, "Are you together? When did you start dating? No wonder you two invited us to a barbecue. I found it weird."

Bu Xiaoshuai also raised his head and looked at them.

"Yesterday, we were together yesterday."

Ye Ge had no scruples. He half-hung and half-hugged Liu Yuzhou's neck with his arm, and asked jokingly, "Do you think we can do this? Are we suitable?"

"Yes, very good." Xu Qianrou said seriously, "It's very suitable!"

“Ye Ge, you…you’re drunk too?”

Liu Yuzhou looked at her. Her pretty face was very attractive. Her facial features had the depth and three-dimensionality of a Western woman, combined with the softness and delicacy of an Eastern woman. It was a perfect fusion of the East and the West, just right. She was a Western beauty with an oriental temperament.

She tilted her head back and poured a glass of beer down her throat. Liu Yuzhou swallowed his saliva inadvertently as she did so.

At some point, his attention shifted from Xu Qianrou to Ye Ge.

"It's just a joke, don't mind it." Ye Ge withdrew his arm.

Silence fell again.

Bu Xiaoshuai picked up a piece of roasted lamb chop and put it on Xu Qianrou's plate, saying, "Boss Xu, try it. This roasted lamb chop is really amazing. It's the best I've ever eaten."

The lamb chops are grilled until golden and sprinkled with cumin, and they are fragrant.

Xu Qianrou took a bite and said, "Not bad."

She took a sip of beer and suddenly said, "Bu Xiaoshuai, I need your help with something."

Bu Xiaoshuai was stunned for a moment, then said cheerfully, "No problem, I will definitely help if I can. Mr. Xu, what's the matter?"

"My mom has been urging me to find someone quickly recently, otherwise she will arrange blind dates for me. I'm fed up with it," Xu Qianrou said in a troubled tone, "I think it's better to find one myself than to be arranged to go on blind dates by my mom. So, Bu Xiaoshuai, I'll hire you to pretend to be my boyfriend for at least half a year."

"Pretend... pretend to be your boyfriend? Mr. Xu, is this true? This is not a good idea, right?"

Bu Xiaoshuai was caught off guard and almost spit out his beer.

Xu Qianrou said calmly, "Do you think I'm joking?"

Not really.

"Mrs. Xu, can you... can you believe it?" Bu Xiaoshuai asked in confusion, "Mr. Xu, why don't you find someone else, but me?"

Xu Qianrou said calmly, "It doesn't matter who you look for. Besides, my parents have a good impression of you. You are a good fit. Just tell me what conditions you have."

"Your parents have a good impression of me?"

Bu Xiaoshuai was skeptical. After what happened last night, her parents didn't dislike him, that was good enough, but they also had a good impression of him?

"of course."

Xu Qianrou nodded affirmatively, this was not a lie to him.

Ye Ge listened and laughed, "Bu Xiaoshuai, what are you still considering? If anyone suffers, it will be Mr. Xu who suffers."

“It’s not a matter of suffering a loss.”

"What are you doing?" Xu Qianrou glared at him, a little annoyed, "You said you were doing me a favor."

"Okay... I'll help." Bu Xiaoshuai was convinced and muttered, "You're so confident in asking for help. You're really good. Do you want to sign an agreement or something?"

"No need, a verbal agreement will do. If you default on your debt, I will not let you go." Xu Qianrou said, "Just pretend for half a year, and then it will be automatically cancelled when it expires. I will give you 10 million as a reward, is it enough? Do you have anything to add?"

"Ten million?" Bu Xiaoshuai was shocked and waved his hands. "Since it's just a favor, just a token of your appreciation will do. You don't need to give so much."

He didn't know how much it would cost, and the key was that he was not mentally prepared. Who would have thought that the female CEO would hire him as her boyfriend, and such a thing would actually happen to him.

"No," Xu Qianrou said with a smile, "You have to be paid for your help. Ten million is not too much. That's it."

"So...what are my obligations?"

"Basic boyfriend duties."

"Okay." Bu Xiaoshuai nodded and replied.

"The agreement is in effect."

Ye Ge immediately clapped and cheered: "Under the witness of Liu Yuzhou and I, from this moment on, Bu Xiaoshuai, you officially become Xu Qianrou's boyfriend. Haha, I now declare that the two of you are no longer single, let's celebrate."

"No..." Bu Xiaoshuai scratched his head, "Isn't this just pretend? What official boyfriend? What's there to celebrate?"

Ye Ge didn't care about anything and filled a glass of wine for both of them. He said, "Let's drink a toast first. Bu Xiaoshuai, this is your first obligation."

Bu Xiaoshuai had no choice but to drink a glass with Xu Qianrou, and Ye Ge took a photo of him and said he would post it on WeChat Moments.

"Do you really want to send it?"

Bu Xiaoshuai thought, we are just pretending to be a couple, there is no need to announce it so publicly, won’t we be slapped in the face in half a year?

"If you don't want to send it, then don't send it."

Xu Qianrou glanced at him and said leisurely, "If others ask about our relationship, you can't hide it. This is one of the boyfriend rules."

"What if someone asks you?" Bu Xiaoshuai looked at her, "You won't hide anything?"

Xu Qianrou smiled and said, "Of course. I've already told my parents, so is there any need to hide it from others?"

This seemed to be the truth, and Bu Xiaoshuai was unable to refute it.

After eating the barbecue, a few people took a walk along the street at around 8 o'clock. Ye Ge had an idea and said that they should go to the movies together, and Xu Qianrou happily agreed.

While walking on the street, Ye Ge pulled Xu Qianrou behind him and asked her quietly, "Ms. Xu, you are really good at pretending to be a couple. Are you serious?"

Xu Qianrou said: "Really, my mother urged me last night, and I was helpless."

After a while, the drivers of Xu Jia and Liu Yuzhou arrived, and the four of them got into their cars.

Xu Qianrou and Bu Xiaoshuai were sitting in the back seat. The driver of the Xu family was surprised when he saw them. The eldest lady was actually sitting with a man, and quite close to him.

Facing the driver's gaze, Bu Xiaoshuai felt a little uncomfortable and smiled at him.

Along the way, Bu Xiaoshuai endured for a long time before he whispered to her, "Mr. Xu, I'm sorry, I have a question. I'm 27 years old. I heard from my sister that I seem to be one year younger than you. Do you mind?"

When Xu Qianrou first heard Bu Xiaomin talk about it, she did mind a little, but when she met Bu Xiaoshuai last night, she realized that he didn't take age as a matter at all.

Xu Qianrou asked: "Do you mind?"

Bu Xiaoshuai said directly: "I don't mind."

"That's all." Xu Qianrou said with a relaxed expression, "We are just pretending, so what's there to mind?"

"That's true." Bu Xiaoshuai smiled embarrassedly.

"Don't call me Mr. Xu from now on. Just call me by my name." Xu Qianrou said, "Call me by my name once and let me hear it."

"Xu Qianrou?"

Bu Xiaoshuai was not used to it, so he called out in a low voice, fearing that the driver in front would hear him.

"Why are you called Qianrou?" Bu Xiaoshuai asked curiously.

"I didn't have this name before," Xu Qianrou sighed, "My cousin is called Xuanyuemei, and I used to be called Xuanyuerou. Our family is short of male heirs, and the Xu Group will be handed over to me to manage in the future. Some people said that my name was too soft, so I changed it to Xu Qianrou when I was in elementary school."

Bu Xiaoshuai said nothing and silently bought the ticket on his phone.
