After hanging up the phone, Li Hong had just put his mobile back in his bag when he heard the curious voice of the Fashionable Woman beside him asking, "Are you the Boss of Fist Game?"
Li Hong was taken aback; he hadn't expected this woman to be so observant. Just from a few words exchanged with Ma Ge, she had guessed his identity.
However, it wasn't something to be ashamed of, and there was no need for him to hide it. So, he replied calmly, "Yes."
Upon this admission, the woman's bright eyes widened in surprise behind her sunglasses. She had never imagined that during a chance encounter on the airport shuttle, she would meet the Boss of a major company.
"That's quite a coincidence! I also enjoy playing Goddess Alliance. I didn't expect to run into their Boss here," she said with a smile.
Li Hong chuckled at her words but didn't feel the need to question her enthusiasm. The wave of Goddess Alliance was sweeping across the country; encountering a player from the game was hardly remarkable.
"Indeed, what a coincidence. Thank you for supporting our company's products," Li Hong responded politely.
Seeing Li Hong's demeanor, the woman realized he didn't want to delve deeper into that topic. However, after a moment's thought, she understood it was likely due to their surroundings.
With so many people around, it wasn't suitable for such discussions.
So, she wisely chose to remain silent.
At that moment, the noise in the vehicle finally woke Loli Li Yuchen from her slumber.
Rubbing her sleepy eyes, she looked at Li Hong with a frown and asked, "Su Su, are we not home yet?"
Before Li Hong could respond, the woman beside him exclaimed in surprise, "She calls you uncle? You're really not her father?"
Li Hong smiled lightly and patted Loli's head, softly explaining, "Yes, I've told you, I've never been in a relationship."
"Sususu, is this your girlfriend? Is she my mother?" Yuchen asked in surprise, lifting her head.
She had just woken up and had no idea who the woman sitting next to Li Hong was. Being the clever girl she was, she could only guess that Li Hong had a close relationship with this woman, who might be her new mother.
In fact, when Li Hong emphasized again that he had never been in a relationship, the woman understood the nature of Li Hong's connection with Yuchen. Hearing Yuchen's question, she smiled and ruffled Loli's hair, saying, "That's right! Are you afraid of me?"
"Don't scare her!"
Li Hong leaned down to reassure Loli, "Don't listen to this auntie. Uncle doesn't even know her; don't overthink it."
"Oh!" Loli nodded in confusion.
The woman was not pleased. How old was she? Why did Li Hong refer to her as an aunt? Women are generally sensitive about age, especially someone like her who cared deeply about it.
"What aunt? Don't listen to your uncle. Just call me sister. Call me sister, and I'll buy you some candy."
Watching the woman go to great lengths to get Loli to call her sister, Li Hong suddenly found women quite interesting. They often cared about details that men would overlook and clung to those details stubbornly.
For instance, the issue of titles; to Li Hong, calling her 'aunt' was completely fine. As for insisting that Yuchen call her 'sister' and then deceiving herself about it, Li Hong couldn't help but scoff.
After coaxing Loli into calling her sister, the woman noticed Li Hong's indifferent expression and laughed, "I’m starting to believe you’ve never been in a relationship; you really are a novice when it comes to understanding women."
Li Hong was utterly speechless. "Damn it, can you really tell I'm a novice?"
"Don't be so unconvinced. If he were a man who's actually been in a relationship, sure, there are some fools like you, but I bet most of them aren't as foolish as you."
"Clarify your words. How am I foolish?" Li Hong replied irritably.
This woman was truly annoying, relentlessly fixating on the fact that he had never been in a relationship.
So what if he had never dated? What did that make him a fool in her eyes?
"Look, in front of a stunning beauty like me, you can't even control your temper. Isn't that the very definition of a fool? Or perhaps it's more appropriate to describe you as a Straight Man," the woman said with a giggle, covering her mouth.
Li Hong twitched his lips and retorted, "Stunning beauty? You look like you're hiding from the world; who knows what you really look like?"
"How about I show you what I look like?" the woman teased playfully.
Li Hong quickly waved his hands. "No, no, no! I'm afraid you'll scare my daughter."
The woman paused, taken aback by Li Hong's unexpected response.
Removing her sunglasses and pushing her hat back, she puffed out her cheeks and asked, "Come on, take a good look at me. Did I scare your daughter?"
At that moment, as she took off her sunglasses, Li Hong realized she was indeed quite beautiful. Of course, to someone like him who had traversed many worlds, she was merely pretty.
Li Hong had seen many women more beautiful than her.
In the Shroud World, there was that ethereal beauty, the ruthless one; in Breaking Through the Sky, there was Dizzy; and then there were the thousand wives of the traveler Lingfeng...
Among these women, who could possibly be more beautiful than the one before him? Even if there were some differences, they would be negligible.
Having witnessed so many stunning beauties, it was nearly impossible for Li Hong to develop any particular feelings about someone's face.
It wasn't that the woman was plain; in fact, from Li Hong's perspective, she was quite exquisite and pleasing to the eye. It was likely that in this vast land, few could rival her beauty.
But what did that matter to Li Hong?
Seeing that Li Hong showed no reaction to her proud beauty, the woman appeared unusually dazed.
"You're not bad-looking; at least you’re not frightening. But that's about it," Li Hong said lightly.
The woman put her hat and sunglasses back on and asked in surprise, "You don't recognize me?"
"Why should I recognize you? You're really amusing. Why should I have to know you?" Li Hong frowned and retorted.
After a moment of communication, Li Hong realized something: this woman was far too narcissistic about her looks. Did she really think that her appearance could make all men unable to move?
Sorry, but Li Hong was precisely an exception!
The woman's pride in her stunning beauty seemed no different from that of an ordinary person in Li Hong's eyes.
"Wait, do you really not know who I am?" the woman asked urgently.
This was too unusual. In China, could there really be someone who didn't recognize Lin Ruxian?
Li Hong replied impatiently, "Aren't you a bit too narcissistic? So what if I don't know you? There are plenty of people in Huaxia I don't know; you're not the only one. Why are you in such a hurry?"
The woman was taken aback by his words, then nodded and said, "You might be right; I guess I am a bit too self-absorbed. But it's the first time I've seen a man openly accuse a girl of being narcissistic like this."
Li Hong scoffed, "So what? Others probably think the same way. The difference is that I'm brave enough to say it while they drool over your looks but are too scared to speak up."
The woman paused for a moment. At first glance, Li Hong's words sounded like mere provocation. But upon reflection, she realized that her situation was indeed not fundamentally different from what Li Hong described.
