“This.. I mean.. I would like you to pretend to be my boyfriend!”

As soon as he heard what Xu Xue Ning had said, Bai Chen could not help but widen his eyes.

His face appeared frozen. He went silent for quite some time.

As for Xu Xue Ning, her eyes under those sunglasses trembled when she saw Bai Chen’s facial expression. Her heart beat even faster.

Her beautiful face went pale. From his expression, she assumed that there was a greater possibility that he would refuse than there was a possibility he would accept.

She thought this because Bai Chen was a legendary cultivator. He would not want to lower himself to be a pretend boyfriend for a lowly young girl like her.

Actually, Xu Xue Ning had already thought about this, yet she still wanted to take a risk.

That was why she’d invited him out to Xing Yuan department store today.

This was because Bai Chen was down-to-earth and kind—that was why she’d decided to risk it.

Since their first meeting when she’d thought that he was a sky soaring cultivator, she had been aware that he was a good man.

Even though he was at the sky soaring level, he was not at all arrogant. He talked to a formation-level cultivator like her in a friendly manner. He’d even extended a helping hand to her sect.

This had been done by dealing with Tai Yang the Strange, the sky soaring cultivator.

At that time, she knew in her heart that he was not a normal sky soaring cultivator.

Rather, he was a legendary one who stood at the very top of the cultivator world!

Xu Xue Ning felt grateful. She respected him as deeply as if he was a god.

These were the reasons why she wanted to take a risk.

And the reason why she wanted Bai Chen to pretend to be her boyfriend was because of that call from her mother, the day she’d invited Bai Chen for a meal at her house.

To be more specific, five days ago when her mother had called, it had been about meeting her future husband for the first time.

Xu Xue Ning was already 25 years old. She was supposed to get married soon. The family thought that it was worrisome that there was no sign of her getting a boyfriend at anytime.

Thus, they firmly decided to find a partner to matchmake her with. The choice of man was a special one, too.

But everyone in a high rank in the Xu family, including Xu Xue Ning’s parents, knew that she would object no matter how special that person was.

Due to this, an order had come down from her grandfather, the current head of the Xu family. Thus, it would be difficult for Xu Xue Ning to object.

That day, she had spent a long time on the phone arguing with her mother. Finally, she had ended up telling her that she had already had a boyfriend and that she would introduce him to the family in five days.

Her mother had been speechless for a while. She could not believe that her daughter already had a boyfriend.

However, Xu Xue Ning’s mother was delighted. Before she hung up, she told her not to forget to quickly bring her boyfriend back home.

If the high-ranking members of the family thought that he was appropriate, they would not interfere.

However, if he was deemed inappropriate, the boyfriend whom Xu Xue Ning brought back home would not have a chance to stay with her or marry her.

This was a rule of the influential families. They had their faces to save. It was not as if just anyone could become a son-in-law of the family.

Especially for Xu Xue Ning, a lovely pearl who was considered the most beautiful girl in Beijing, it was even more impossible for the Xu family, one of the five big families of Beijing, not to scrutinize her boyfriend or her future husband.

However, they did not know that what Xu Xue Ning had said was a lie. It was rare for her to lie. Xu Xue Ning had never had a boyfriend or any kind of love.

Since she was young, she had been determinedly walking along her cultivating path. She had never had time to think about that kind of thing until she’d met Bai Chen. She felt strange when she was around him.

However, she did not believe that she had fallen for him. She thought it was just a respect.

What had stopped her from believing that was probably what Bai Chen had said that he was pursuing Long Xu In. He liked her so much, he had even gone to the trouble of disguising himself to pursue her.

Maybe it was because of this that Xu Xue Ning did not think she was in love with him.

Also, she did not know any more men other than Bai Chen. That was also why she had decided to come to him to ask him to pretend to be her boyfriend.

No, to be more accurate, she had chosen to lie to her mother that she had already had a boyfriend because she had been thinking of him. She wanted to know if he would help her or not.

If he accepted, it would be great for her. But if not, she would not want anyone else to pretend for her. She would go to her matchmaking session and reject the man, just like every other time.

Even though the family would not approve of the rejection, she would still do the same thing. She would not let anyone interfere with her life!historical

“Pretend to be your boyfriend?”

After several minutes of silence, Bai Chen finally talked. His heart beat fast.

Xu Xue Ning was a beautiful woman. How could he not feel anything when she asked him to be her pretend boyfriend?!?

“Y..Yes,” Xu Xue Ning answered with her trembling voice.

“The thing is..” she started to explain.

Once she was done with the explanation, Bai Chen’s facial expression changed a little. He was deep in thought.

‘Beijing?’

It was obvious that if he accepted the part of her pretend boyfriend, he would have to go to Beijing with Xu Xue Ning to visit her house.

Bai Chen started to think. He had to decide.

‘There are still many months before Wang Chengye comes to Xing Zhou city,’ he thought.

‘But if I go to Beijing, I can spy on Wang Chengye and the Wang family. And if Wang Chengye is alone, I can kill him with the invisibility ring I have!’

‘Moreover, I can’t use the Life Changing System right now because it’s still upgrading.’

Bai Chen’s thoughts ran wild. He suddenly felt angry when he thought about Wang Chengye. This anger towards him had already been rooted deep down inside of him.

Bai Chen inhaled deeply. He looked up at Xu Xue Ning and finally spoke. He had decided.

“Deal. Pretend to be your boyfriend, correct? I’ll help you!” he said.

His aim this time was not to be Xu Xue Ning’s pretend boyfriend. He would use this chance to go to Beijing and find a way to spy on the Wang family and, possibly, kill Wang Chengye.

If he could succeed, destroying the Wang family could still wait until later!End of Chapter 203
