Chapter 21: Little Lover

A young girl walked quickly up to the two of them, her eyes beaming with joy, her mouth slightly curled, wearing an orange princess dress and exquisite makeup, making her look adorable and charming. 

The girl did not even look at Alex, but instead pouted at Shen Jiachen and said, "Brother said you were coming, and I've been waiting for you for a long time. Big brother Shen, will you dance with me?" 

Shen Jiachen politely replied, "Miss Ren." 

"Brother Shen, please call me Yuwei. Come on, let's go dancing." The young girl stared at Shen Jiachen with adoring eyes. 

Miss Ren, this is Alex. Shen Jiachen gestured to the girl and then introduced Alex to her, saying, "This is Ms. Ren Yuwei, the sister of Ren Boyuan, the general manager of Yuxiang Pavilion. This is a basic etiquette of high society. 

Alex glanced at the girl and nodded lightly. 

Ren Yuwei saw Brother Shen talking and laughing with this young man from afar. A boy who looks so delicate and beautiful, a fox spirit! When she saw that the young man knew who she was, he didn't show a flattering expression, but instead looked careless and lazy. She was immediately furious and felt like shouting at him. Instead of maintaining etiquette in front of Brother Shen, she couldn't help but yell out, acting like a high-minded doctor. 

Taking great pains to suppress her anger, Ren Yuwei said disdainfully, "Brother Shen, I know him. He's the latest love interest my brother has taken up. Humph! My brother's phone is full of pictures of this fox spirit, and he cherishes them like they're his baby. 

Upon hearing this, Shen Jiachen looked at the young man with a deeper expression. This explains why the young man is here, with the carvings of Yuxiang Pavilion. He thought the young man was pure and innocent, but it seems that he has been corrupted by the materialistic society. 

Alex felt very funny. When had he been "owned" by Mr. Ren? He chuckled and replied calmly, "I think Miss Ren made a mistake." 

"You're pretending! If you want people not to know, you have to act like you didn't do it. My brother rented the house for you, hiding his mistress in a golden room. It's said that you are still a student. If you don't know shame, just pretend to be disgusting!" Ren Yuwei ridiculed loudly, connecting all the things she heard from hearsay and being very sure. 

Snap! Snap! Two slaps stunned the girl. 

Shen Jiachen also raised his eyebrows unexpectedly. Did this young man act without restraint and dare to hit someone just because he was favored. 

Alex withdrew her right hand and took out a white handkerchief to wipe it. She no longer looked at the two people in front of her and turned to leave. She had originally thought of Shen Jiachen as a prey and wanted to lure him, but it was clear that the other party believed what Ren Yuwei said. Her pride had suddenly lost interest in Shen Jiachen. 

Ren Yuwei finally regained her senses, stroking her red cheeks and crying out. 

In the middle of the banquet hall, Ren Boyuan was negotiating with Mr. Wang from Laofengxiang Jewelry. The other party was an old fox, repeatedly asking him whether the master carver craftsman would come today, and wanted to introduce him to know. Bah! Introduce it to you, let you dig it out again? Everyone knew it, was it meaningful to be entangled in these things? 

The signing of Alex's contract is known only to the store manager of the main store, and no one else knows about it. The carved products are also sent to Alex every month, and then picked up by him. Today, he invited Alex to come here, firstly to show him the current prosperity of Yuxiang Pavilion, and secondly to find an excuse to get closer to him. 

Although Alex was not untruthful to him, it was because he had previously behaved badly. In recent months, he had not sought any playmates. After careful consideration, he decided to pursue Alex. She was beautiful and talented, although a little fierce. However, the more dangerous the challenge, the more rewarding it would be. If he could make Alex fall in love with him, he would have both wealth and beauty. At the very least, he could spend his life with Alex alone. If the other party requested it, they could also get a different nationality and get married there. 

Thinking of this, Ren Boyuan began to look forward to the wonderful time he would have with Alex. 

"Mr. Ren!" A voice drew his attention back. 

Fuck! I almost forgot about this old fox. Ren Boyuan quickly said, "Sorry, I was rude." 

With a half-smile, Wang said, as if he were enjoying the disaster, "Ren, it seems that something big has happened over there. Don't you want to go and have a look?" 

Ren Boyuan turned around and saw a large group of guests gradually converging towards a certain location. A shrill voice was crying something, and he hurried over. 

Upon closer inspection, his sister Ren Yuwei was pointing at the back of Alex and yelling, "Stop, stop! Somebody, catch him!" 

The celebrities and gentlemen around them all watched the scene with a detached air.Ren Boyuan saw his sister's awkwardness and walked up to her and scolded, "Yu Wei, what are you doing!" 

Upon seeing Ren Boyuan, Ren Yuwei grabbed his arm and pointed to her face, whimpering in frustration, "Brother, your little lover dared to hit me 

Little lover? Ren Boyuan looked at the young man's gradually disappearing back and immediately knew that his sister must have misunderstood. Although he wanted to turn Alex into his little lover, he had not yet taken action. In public, it was not good to tell the truth. He could only whisper to his sister and reprimand her, "Yuwei, don't talk nonsense. You are so immature!" 

Ren Yuwei was completely surprised that her beloved brother, who had loved her since childhood, should not only not help her in front of everyone, but also blame her. She felt so ashamed that she covered her face with her hands and ran to the lounge of the banquet hall in tears. 

Ren Boyuan then said with a smile to the guests around him, "Everyone, it's okay, it's just a small misunderstanding. Please continue. In a moment, we will show you three sculptures made this month for your enjoyment." 

The guests gradually dispersed when they saw there was nothing to see. Those who wanted to dance continued to dance, and those who wanted to chat continued to chat. There were many small dramas in high society, and the crowd quickly left them behind. 

Ren Boyuan let out a sigh of relief and turned to chase after Alex, who had already disappeared outside the banquet hall. 

Shen Jiachen looked thoughtfully at Ren Boyuan's slightly anxious pace. He had heard many rumors about this Ren Zong, saying that he was heartless and fickle. Now it seems that either the rumors are untrue or this young man is too charming. 

Ren Boyuan chased after him and saw that Alex had already entered the elevator. He strode over and held the closing door open with his hand, saying to the expressionless teenager inside, "I'm sorry, my sister misunderstood. She's young, please don't mind." 

Alex was not in a good mood, and his tone was cold: "I have already taught her a lesson, so of course I don't mind." With that, he flung out one hand, and Ren Boyuan felt an invisible air current coming towards him, pushing him directly out of the elevator a few steps away, watching helplessly as the elevator door closed. 

After Ren Boyuan stood still, he was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. Although he knew that the young man had so-called martial arts, he felt that the monkeys were exaggerating on that day. Only through personal experience did he realize that a slight error can lead to a great mistake. This was not a martial arts expert, but a master of martial arts. The sudden information made his mind in a mess. He stood at the elevator door for a long time until a supervisor from the company found him. 

The autumn sunshine is warm, and students at Fudan University, after lunch, are either in groups of three or five, or in pairs, sunning themselves on the large lawn outside the library. 

A couple attracted many students' attention, which of course was the finance prince Xu Zhe and the literature flower Lu Xueyan. 

Lu Xueyan sat on the grass next to Xu Zhe, leaning quietly against him. Xu Zhe was staring into the sky. Lu Xueyan was used to her boyfriend's absent-mindedness and absent-mindedness. At first, she had quite a few complaints, but after several explanations, she accepted it willingly. After all, she liked him a lot and wanted to have a long-term relationship with him. When they first started dating, she was a little apprehensive, but after half a month of dating, she found that Xu Zhe was really excellent, without any bad habits, and he was also gentle and polite to her. Even holding hands and kissing her face made her feel respected. He was the ideal candidate for her other half, and she wanted to hold on to him tightly. 

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion among many of the students sunning themselves on the lawn, which successfully brought Xu Zhe back to reality. He looked around and noticed that most of the people were looking towards the library, so he also looked in that direction. 

At the entrance of the library, a petite girl was talking to a teenager. Within two minutes, the girl hid her face and ran away, and the teenager turned around and entered the library. 

The students on the lawn began to whisper to each other, some of them even spoke loudly. 

"How many are there now? Ah! There are so many people who are not willing to give up." 

What? Maybe Alex doesn't like that type. 

"You know it again!" 

A few words from the side also reached Xu Zhe's ears. He frowned and said, "Does Alex have a girlfriend?" 

Lu Xueyan didn't know why her boyfriend suddenly asked this, and she replied cautiously, "I don't think so. I heard that he is concentrating on his studies and has turned down many girls." 

Xu Zhe didn't say anything after listening to her. After sitting for a few minutes, he stood up and said to his girlfriend, "You go home first. I'll go to the library to find a book. I'll meet you after class this afternoon.
