The big star has a prince syndrome

Xu Qingran was very surprised that Ye Yan seemed to be very eager for that birthday party.

He thought Ye Yan had lost her freedom for too long and didn't want to miss the opportunity to blend into the crowd and relax.

In fact, he was wrong. What Ye Yan cared about was not just freedom.

He wanted to get into Xu Qingran's circle and let them know that he was by Xu Qingran's side. He also wanted to see if he could get more secrets about Xu Qingran if he followed Xu Qingran as a friend.

For example, how he gets along with his friends, whether he has many friends of the opposite sex, and whether there is anyone pursuing him.

Ever since Ye Yan found out that Xu Qingran had a marriage partner, she has been feeling uneasy.

It's not that he is petty and jealous, but he is very clear that with Xu Qingran's family background, he will face many tests in the future. He wants to determine his position in Xu Qingran's heart and whether it is important enough to make Xu Qingran disobey his parents for him.

Yes, he can't live without Xu Qingran, he wants a family that belongs only to him.

Public opinion about his unfilial behavior towards his mother continued to ferment online. In order to prevent Yu Hong and his son from continuing to cause trouble for Ye Yan, Xu Qingran bought a small villa worth eight million yuan in T City with his own money and gave it to the Yu family, even though he felt it was not worth it.

Yu Hao deleted the fabricated post on the day he got the property certificate. Seeing that he was quite self-aware, Xu Qingran temporarily tolerated it.

The wave of public opinion subsided as the wind gradually died down. Ye Yan wanted to return the money to Xu Qingran, but Xu Qingran said no, he was willing to spend some money on his boyfriend.

At the birthday party, he had just been discharged from the hospital three days ago, and his hands were tied and hung around his neck.

Ye Yan had attended many banquets, but this was his first private gathering with strangers, so before entering the hotel, he reminded Xu Qingran again.

"Don't leave me more than two meters away, or I'll leave immediately without giving anyone any respect."

He has always been so "brutal", and Xu Qingran finds it very cute.

"Well, you're so pretty I was afraid you'd be kidnapped."

Xu Qingran smiled and said, two bodyguards followed behind them holding two birthday gifts, because there was no legal status for two people to share a gift.

After experiencing a week of online turmoil, today was the first time Ye Yan felt the freshness of the air.

It was not only because the problem was solved, but also because this was the first time that he and Xu Qingran went out alone to attend a friend's party. He was very much looking forward to it. He thought he was about to step into Xu Qingran's circle of friends and get one step closer to his world.

The birthday party was held in a six-star hotel. It was obvious that the other party's family was very wealthy and they booked the entire banquet hall.

Although injured, Ye Yan, who was dressed up carefully, still exudes his dazzling superstar aura as always when standing next to Xu Qingran. Even on him, the straps hanging on his chest have become a fashion item.

After entering the gate surrounded by flowers, everyone looked at them at the same time.

"Wow, look who this is! It's Wenwen's family."

"Welcome, welcome. Wenwen is late for dinner with her boyfriend for the first time. You have to drink three glasses of wine as punishment, Mr. Xu."

Ye Yan suddenly seemed to be unable to see clearly the person in front of him and the crystal chandelier that reflected the light. He stopped in his tracks as he listened to the discussions around him.

He was ignored in the world of fame and fortune filled with rich second-generations. They called his boyfriend another woman's boyfriend. Everyone's eyes were on Xu Qingran, and what greeted him were only the mobile phone cameras of the rich second-generations who realized belatedly that a star had arrived.

This time he found it difficult to control his expression and avoided their cameras with a cold face.

Xu Qingran also realized that there was a misunderstanding and immediately stepped forward to stand in front of Ye Yan.

"Everyone, please go take pictures of today's heroine and don't steal the show."

Xu Qingran forced a smile and signaled them not to take pictures of Ye Yan.

The broad shoulders were right in front of him, but Ye Yan, who was standing behind him, did not feel safe because of his domineering behavior. Instead, she said in a deep voice that only he could hear: "Explain."

Xu Qingran understood what his explanation was, so he prepared to find a suitable point to clarify that he had nothing to do with Bai Wenwen.

"Hey, what's so good about taking pictures of Xiaoya? We're old acquaintances. Only big stars are interesting. It's my first time seeing her in person and she's even more handsome than on TV."

"Exactly. Besides, didn't Xiaoya invite him here just for us to see? I heard that Wenwen asked Mr. Xu to help invite him. Mr. Xu is really a wife-loving maniac."

I beg you to stop talking nonsense, or I’ll be heartbroken...Xu Qingran was speechless.

He couldn't see the expression of the person behind him, but he knew it must not be pretty.

He locked his gaze with Bai Wenwen, who was standing with the birthday boy, and said with a smile, "Stop joking, everyone. Bai Wenwen and I barely see each other more than twice a year. How can we date like that? Rumors of arranged marriages are just hearsay. We don't play that game."

He explained, and the expression of the person hiding behind him improved a little.

But it only lasted three seconds.

The rich lady Xiaoya, who was wearing a dress, pulled Bai Wenwen in front of Xu Qingran, and then extended her hand to Xu Qingran.

"Hello, I'm He Yaran, Wenwen's best friend. Welcome to Mr. Xu."

Out of politeness, Xu Qingran shook hands with her.

"Thank you, Mr. Xu, for inviting Ye Yan over. I think today will be the most meaningful birthday of my life. You are indeed my sister. You have a good eye for choosing men."

Here it comes again, Xu Qingran suddenly felt something was wrong, he used his eyes to hint at Bai Wenwen to explain, but all he got was Bai Wenwen's shy smile.

Afraid that Ye Yan would think too much, Xu Qingran did not respond but turned around to look at Ye Yan first.

Ye Yan was originally staring blankly with no expression on her face, but after meeting Xu Qingran's gaze, she raised her head and gave a pale smile.

"Can you sit down first? My hand is not feeling well."

He didn't want to behave badly in front of Xu Qingran's friends, so he forced himself to suppress the urge to ruin things and changed the subject.

He Yiran seemed to have just realized that Ye Yan was injured. She immediately smiled embarrassedly and asked everyone to sit down and eat first.

She couldn't stay within two meters of him, so Xu Qingran gave the birthday present to He Ya and then returned to Ye Yan.

Only after sitting down did Ye Yan have the chance to ask him, "Do you think He Yaran is my fan?"

He himself didn't think so, because He Yiran didn't even look at him twice from beginning to end.

Do they look alike? Xu Qingran thought about it carefully and felt that they really didn’t look alike.

Under the table, Xu Qingran covered his hand with the tablecloth and stroked Ye Yan's thigh.

"Are you unhappy about being ignored? Don't overthink it. Not all fans get excited when they see their favorite stars. Maybe she's just pretending to be calm, and she'll be tempted to take a photo with you soon."

"Really?" Ye Yan looked at him with a cold gaze, and there was hidden disappointment behind her eyes.

"You lied to me, this isn't your friend's birthday party at all. This is Bai Wenwen's circle."
