[Side CP Extra] Their First Life 15
Father Chen didn’t believe Chen Zirui had such a boyfriend at all. Knowing Chen Zirui’s habit of lying, he figured he had probably hired someone to pretend to be the Xiang family’s young master.
He specifically told Chen Muyuan to find reports on the Xiang family online and screenshot the Xiang family group photos. He planned to expose Chen Zirui to his face as soon as he arrived, to teach this kid a lesson that he wasn’t easily fooled.
So, when Chen Zirui arrived at the Chen family villa entrance with Xiang Wanxing, not a single person came to welcome them.
Chen Zirui scratched his head awkwardly.
It was the first time he brought Xiang Wanxing home, yet before they even stepped inside, he witnessed a scene of how unwelcome he was.
He figured Xiang Wanxing was probably laughing at him inside.
“Maybe because it’s my dad’s birthday, the servants are all busy setting up the banquet and don’t have time to greet us. It’s not usually like this.”
Xiang Wanxing didn’t say anything, but he took the initiative to hold Chen Zirui’s hand.
Chen Zirui paused, looking down at their tightly clasped hands. “What are you doing?”
They rarely held hands, especially in public.
“Since we’re acting, we naturally have to go all the way.”
Chen Zirui thought that made sense and couldn’t help holding on tighter, even leaning his body toward Xiang Wanxing.
“Also, remember to call me ‘Husband’.” Xiang Wanxing pinched his cheek.
Chen Zirui rolled his eyes. “Don’t mess around. I can’t say it in front of outsiders.”
“So you admit it?”
Chen Zirui: “……”
I knew nothing good comes out of Xiang Wanxing’s mouth. Chen Zirui ignored him and dragged him straight into the villa.
The banquet hadn’t started yet. Servants were bustling about the first-floor hall carrying things, but no one took the initiative to greet Chen Zirui.
Chen Zirui looked up to explain to Xiang Wanxing, only to find his face slightly dark, seemingly unhappy.
And rightly so.
After all, he was the son of the Richest Man, surrounded by admirers. Plenty of people rushed to curry favor with him; he had probably never been given the cold shoulder like this in his life.
Chen Zirui was a little worried Xiang Wanxing would get upset and just leave him there, so he hurriedly found a topic to please him.
“Xiang Wanxing, just hold on for an hour. Once my dad and the illegitimate son have seen you, I’ll find an excuse to take you away.”
Xiang Wanxing came back to his senses, the displeasure on his brow fading slightly. “It doesn’t matter. I have nothing else to do today.”
Chen Zirui wanted to say something more when he suddenly heard the illegitimate son’s rough voice.
“Dad, Big Brother is back.”
Chen Zirui hurriedly hugged Xiang Wanxing’s arm tighter, putting on a very affectionate display.
Xiang Wanxing watched his every move and couldn’t help curling the corners of his mouth.
In less than a minute, the illegitimate son and Father Chen arrived in the hall together.
The illegitimate son stood beside Father Chen. Originally, he had a gloating smile on his face, but upon seeing Xiang Wanxing’s face clearly, he turned pale.
As smug as he was just now, he was that panicked now.
“How… how can it be… this is impossible…” the illegitimate son muttered.
Father Chen turned his face and asked the illegitimate son quietly, “Where are the photos I asked you to prepare? Take them out and check.”
The illegitimate son pursed his lips, seemingly reluctant to take out his phone.
Chen Zirui raised an eyebrow. “Dad, if you haven’t seen anyone from the Xiang family and can’t recognize him, that’s fine. I’ll search for reports on the Xiang family for you right now.”
Hearing Chen Zirui’s tone so certain, Father Chen immediately became unsure and tugged at the illegitimate son’s sleeve irritably.
“Is it him or not?”
The illegitimate son closed his eyes and said with difficulty, “It’s him.”
Father Chen was first stunned, then shocked.
He hurriedly pushed the illegitimate son aside and strode toward Xiang Wanxing.
Because he was too excited, he almost tripped while walking.
“Young Master Xiang, it really is you.” Father Chen wiped his hands on his suit and extended a hand to Xiang Wanxing. “Apologies. We were busy with the birthday banquet today, so our hospitality was lacking. Please forgive us.”
Xiang Wanxing glanced at Father Chen’s hand, his eyes revealing mockery, with absolutely no intention of shaking it.
Father Chen’s hand froze in mid-air, leaving him in a rather awkward position.
He had no choice but to look at Chen Zirui standing beside Xiang Wanxing, signaling him with his eyes.
Chen Zirui naturally caught his gaze, but he looked away the next second, treating Father Chen as air.
Father Chen’s face was very ugly, but with Xiang Wanxing present and their relationship unclear, he couldn’t do anything to Chen Zirui for the time being.
Finally, Father Chen dropped his hand and changed the subject. “You are our Ruirui’s boyfriend, right? Coming all this way to attend the birthday banquet—you’ve worked hard.”
Chen Zirui scoffed.
He really knows how to gild his own face.
If not to fight for shares for Xialin, I wouldn’t have been willing to bring Xiang Wanxing here.
“Not boyfriend,” Xiang Wanxing suddenly spoke up.
Chen Zirui’s heart skipped a beat, and he looked up at Xiang Wanxing in disbelief.
As expected.
I knew Xiang Wanxing wouldn’t be kind enough to help me.
But I can’t blame Xiang Wanxing. From his perspective, he definitely can’t just pretend to be a boyfriend randomly.
Xiang Wanxing isn’t an ordinary person; any decision he makes can influence major domestic affairs.
If news got out, wouldn’t it cause a sensation in the entire District B?
So it’s right that Xiang Wanxing isn’t willing to help. It’s just that Chen Zirui is very disappointed that Xiang Wanxing made a promise but didn’t keep it.
When Xiang Wanxing said this, the expressions of the other three people present were all spectacular.
Especially the illegitimate son, who stared at them closely with the attitude of watching a show.
Just as Chen Zirui was about to let go of Xiang Wanxing’s arm in despair, his hand was suddenly grasped by Xiang Wanxing.
“We are preparing to get married, so naturally, it’s not a boyfriend relationship.”
Chen Zirui’s heart stopped for a beat as he watched Xiang Wanxing announce this news to Father Chen with an arrogant expression.
Then, he looked down to meet his gaze.
“Right, Zirui?”
Chen Zirui was too shocked to speak.
Holy shit!
For the first time, I think Xiang Wanxing is f*cking handsome!
