"Chen Haoxuan, you really have an androgynous charm! When you wear women's clothes, you're a stunning beauty, and in men's clothes, you're a handsome man. Now that you've shaved your head, which usually doesn't look good, you somehow possess a strange beauty, like a piece of art that one never tires of looking at. In the end, I've come to a conclusion: you're a heartthrob, causing every girl who sees you to become infatuated." Shen Ruyan looked at Chen Haoxuan with admiration and said sweetly.
Chen Haoxuan touched his bald head and smiled wryly, "It's all natural... What can I do?" If given a choice, Chen Haoxuan would prefer to have an ordinary face rather than the one that even he could be captivated by. Being too handsome had unwarrantedly created many enemies for him, some of whom he didn't even know. He understood why he had so many enemies: it was because he had charmed the beloved women of those rivals.
Shen Ruyan took Chen Haoxuan's hand and walked outside happily, saying, "Chen Haoxuan, you haven't been out for so long; you must spend more time with me today."
"I'm not going out today; I just want to enjoy myself. If you have nothing to do, I'd be happy to spend time with you," Chen Haoxuan replied.
Hearing Chen Haoxuan's words, Shen Ruyan was taken aback and thought, "Enjoy himself? And with me? Does he want me to do that with him? How could he think of me like that? It's infuriating!"
Just as Shen Ruyan was about to refuse Chen Haoxuan, a sudden voice interrupted her. "Boss, I finally found you!" A beautiful woman ran up to Chen Haoxuan.
"Hey there, it's been half a year... I wonder how you've been during this time?" Chen Haoxuan smiled at Kong Manni, who looked even more beautiful and mature than before.
"I've been doing great this past half year; Little Fly and everyone have been very caring. But Boss, you haven't come to see me in half a year! I was starting to doubt if you'd forgotten about me. If I hadn't run fast this time, I might not have seen you again," Kong Manni complained.
"Hehe... Looks like the little girl has learned to be coy! You really have grown up," Chen Haoxuan joked.
"Boss, I want compensation from you; otherwise, I won't talk to you," Kong Manni pouted at Chen Haoxuan.
"What do you want me to compensate you for?" Chen Haoxuan asked with a smile.
Kong Manni walked over to Chen Haoxuan and wrapped her arm around his, smiling happily as she said, "I want you to spend time with me."
"Sure! But just for one day," Chen Haoxuan replied. He also wanted to enjoy a day out, and having Kong Manni with him was perfect.
Suddenly, Shen Ruyan felt invisible. She stood next to Chen Haoxuan while he and Kong Manni exchanged playful banter. Shen Ruyan felt uncomfortable; just moments ago, Chen Haoxuan had wanted to spend time with her, but now that Kong Manni was here, he completely ignored her. Even though she didn't want to be intimate with Chen Haoxuan, she couldn't shake off her irritation. She sweetly said to Chen Haoxuan, "You just said you'd spend the day with me; how can you agree to the little girl now?"
Hearing Shen Ruyan's words, Chen Haoxuan frowned and thought for a moment, saying, "I just recalled that I never agreed to spend the day with you! You must have remembered it wrong."
Kong Manni looked at Shen Ruyan with a hostile gaze and sweetly said to her, "Did you hear that? Boss didn't agree to accompany you."
"You... hmph." Shen Ruyan was so angry that she stomped her feet.
"Shen Ruyan, what's there to be angry about? If you don't mind, we can all hang out together! The more people, the more fun," Chen Haoxuan said to Shen Ruyan.
Unintentionally spoken, but with a heart that took it seriously: "Could it be... does he want a threesome? When did he become so bad? Hasn't he released his urges for half a year, so... so..." The more Shen Ruyan thought about it, the more shy she became. Finally, she stomped her foot and playfully scolded Chen Haoxuan, "Pervert!" After saying that, she turned and ran away.
Chen Haoxuan was baffled, looking at Shen Ruyan's departing figure and questioning, "I didn’t harass her! Why did she suddenly call me a pervert?"
"Maybe she misinterpreted and thought Boss wanted to harass her!" Kong Manni sweetly said to Chen Haoxuan.
"I really don't understand her," Chen Haoxuan sighed.
With Kong Manni around, things were different. Whatever Chen Haoxuan wanted to eat, Kong Manni would immediately go get it. If it was fruit that needed peeling, she would peel it and feed it to him. If it was sunflower seeds, she would patiently shell them for him to eat...
Chen Haoxuan lay on the sofa, eating the food Kong Manni fed him while asking her, "Hey girl, have you gone out to play in the past six months?"
Kong Manni held a piece of apple up to Chen Haoxuan's mouth and said, "Yes! Recently it was my mom's birthday, so I went back and played for half a month. I told my family that I'm working at a big company now and earn several thousand Renminbi every month. They were all very happy, and of course, I was happy too."
"That's good to hear," Chen Haoxuan smiled.
"Boss, can I ask you something?" Kong Manni suddenly inquired.
"If Shen Ruyan likes you, would you like her back?" Kong Manni eagerly awaited Chen Haoxuan's response of no.
"No, I wouldn't, because I already have a girlfriend," Chen Haoxuan replied firmly.
"That's good to hear. Let me tell you, I've noticed that Shen Ruyan seems to like you. I've seen her loitering around your research institute several times when I came to find you. And have you noticed that whenever a beautiful girl gets close to you, she gets upset?" Kong Manni said.
"I really hadn't paid attention to that," Chen Haoxuan admitted, feeling conflicted. To be honest, he didn't want Shen Ruyan to like him because he didn't want to hurt anyone who developed feelings for him.
"Boss, I know you don't want to make Shen Ruyan sad, so you're feeling troubled right now, right? Actually, you don't need to worry because I have an idea. Just be a little cold towards her and avoid contact. Over time, she'll forget about you," Kong Manni suggested.
"I've been at Dragon Group for half a year now, and during this time, I've hardly spoken to her. Yet she still enjoys being around me," Chen Haoxuan said, still conflicted.
"Then whenever Shen Ruyan comes looking for you, just come find me. As soon as I show up, she'll leave. Eventually, she'll realize that you really don't like her. It may seem harsh, but it's necessary," Kong Manni proposed.
"I think it might be better if I just ignore her directly," Chen Haoxuan said.
While Chen Haoxuan and Kong Manni were chatting, Shen Ruyan rode her horse to the spot where she had previously lain with Chen Haoxuan. She sat on the grass, hugging her knees and repeatedly muttering to herself, "Why is Chen Haoxuan so lecherous? Why does Chen Haoxuan..."
