Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

After running for a long time,

Xia Wanqiu’s face was red and she couldn’t breathe. She followed beside Lin Fan and hid from the fans and media that could appear at any moment.

She didn’t care about being discovered by others, but Lin Fan would consider her future. Xia Wanqiu’s heart felt warm.

“There shouldn’t be anyone around now.” Lin Fan smiled and turned back to look at Xia Wanqiu. He was still holding her hand and he could feel her warmth.

“Oh, let go of me.” Xia Wanqiu lowered her head and said softly.

“Sorry, I didn’t notice it in the heat of the moment.” Lin Fan scratched his head and let go of Xia Wanqiu’s hand. If the photo of him holding Xia Wanqiu’s hand was taken, then their relationship would be solidified online.

“From now on… don’t hold hands without my permission.”

“I’m not your girlfriend yet,” Xia Wanqiu said softly, her cheeks flushed.

“If you were my girlfriend, your 80 million fans would have already attacked me with knives.” Lin Fan smiled and didn’t take it to heart. He and Xia Wanqiu were indeed on better terms, but they weren’t really boyfriend and girlfriend.

Although there were people on Weibo who would praise Lin Fan for being handsome, there were also people who were defaming Lin Fan. If they really confirmed their relationship, there might really be people who would chase after Lin Fan.

After all, most of the people who liked Xia Wanqiu were male fans.

Xia Wanqiu looked at Lin Fan with an apologetic expression. She tugged at Lin Fan’s arm. “Lin Fan, I’m sorry.”

“It’s all my fault that there are so many scandals on Weibo. With so many people scolding you, it won’t be easy to open your restaurant for the time being,” Xia Wanqiu said. She was sincerely apologizing to Lin Fan.

“So just now, holding hands… is your compensation.” Xia Wanqiu’s smile was enchanting. She looked at Lin Fan’s face and put on the cat ears hat. She would only meow in front of Lin Fan and Su Xiaoyu because she felt that this was very cute.

“Why do I feel like I’ve lost out?” Lin Fan looked at Xia Wanqiu and said intentionally. There were many people who liked him.

“Stupid Lin Fan, believe it or not, I’ll really bite you!!” Xia Wanqiu’s face was fierce as she punched Lin Fan’s chest.

“Where is your home?” Xia Wanqiu looked around. “You bullied me just now, so you have to compensate me with braised fish tonight. You also have to make delicious fish soup and the vegetable salad you prepared for me.”

“My house is a villa. It’s very big,” said Lin Fan.

“Only a pig would believe that. I haven’t bought a villa yet.” Xia Wanqiu stuck out her tongue. “We’re almost home, and you’re still lying to me?”

Xia Wanqiu knew Lin Fan very well. They were classmates in junior high and high school. Lin Fan’s family was from the countryside. How could he afford a villa?

The villas in Shanghai cost at least ten million yuan, and such ten-million-yuan villas were not something ordinary people could afford.

“Shouldn’t the remuneration for a big star be over a hundred million dollars? What about your remuneration?” Lin Fan turned around and asked. In his impression, this was the case. Furthermore, Xia Wanqiu was so popular.

“I saved it as my dowry.” Xia Wanqiu blinked and smiled.

“Fine, one has to give a lot of betrothal gifts when one gets married. There are very few dowries.”

“When you get married, not only does your family “lose” a daughter, they’ll also have to pay so much dowry.” Lin Fan knocked Xia Wanqiu’s head.

“Let’s go home.” Lin Fan walked forward.

Looking at Lin Fan’s back view, Xia Wanqiu gritted her teeth and her chest heaved up and down. She was a little angry.

In the entertainment industry, once there was a situation of defaming an artist, the artist would definitely stand up to clarify at the first instance, especially a celebrity like Xia Wanqiu.

She still hadn’t expressed her attitude. What was it for? Lin Fan was really a big idiot.

…

“Put on a mask and a hat first. Later on, pretend to be my girlfriend. Don’t let anyone recognize you. Otherwise, tomorrow, the hot search will be about me bringing you home to have sex,” said Lin Fan with a smile as he looked at the girl beside him.

He naturally knew what Xia Wanqiu meant. Xia Wanqiu was on the second level, and he was already on the fifth level.

If a girl was willing to go home with you, it could already prove something. Lin Fan wasn’t a fool. However, if he were to express his lust for the girl now, wouldn’t it lower her impression of him?

Would he bring a girl home just to sleep with her?

At least Lin Fan wouldn’t.

Although Xia Wanqiu was really beautiful and everyone wanted to sleep with her, they could still tell the difference between sleeping with her once and sleeping with her forever.

Besides, if he couldn’t sleep with her now, he wouldn’t be able to sleep with her anymore.

Relationships were something that had to be slowly developed over time. The deeper one went, the stronger it would be. Lin Fan felt that it wasn’t the right time yet.

He liked Xia Wanqiu as well, but if he wanted to be with her, he had to give her a romantic confession and make an official announcement to let everyone know that he was with Xia Wanqiu.

Not only that, on that day, he wanted everyone to know that he had the right to protect Xia Wanqiu.

This was also the reason why Lin Fan acted dumb in front of other girls. He wouldn’t flirt with other girls except for Xia Wanqiu.

“Who wants to have sex with you? Shameless.” Xia Wanqiu pouted and put on her cap and mask.

“Speaking of which, which neighborhood is this? I feel like the houses here are all pretty high-end,” Xia Wanqiu said softly. She naturally held onto Lin Fan’s arm as if they were a match made in heaven.

“You’ll know in a while. Now, keep a low profile and enter the district. You have to act more like my girlfriend. You can’t do this,” said Lin Fan.

“Then what else do you want?” Xia Wanqiu looked at Lin Fan. How would she know how to act as Lin Fan’s girlfriend?

“Just hold on to me with both hands.” Lin Fan chuckled.

“Like this?” Xia Wanqiu asked, the blush on her pretty face deepening.

“Yes, that’s good.” Lin Fan nodded.

“Why do I feel like you’re bullying me again?” Xia Wanqiu said softly. She was still hugging Lin Fan’s arm sweetly.

“Let’s go. We’ll be fine once we pass through the entrance of the district safely,” said Lin Fan with a smile. After all, the security in the Blue Wave Bay district had always been very good. They wouldn’t let strangers enter the district.

If they were recognized, Lin Fan couldn’t guarantee that the security guard wouldn’t spill the beans. If he didn’t think for himself, he still had to think for his future wife.

When they reached the entrance of the district, the eyes of several security guards lit up.

Lin Fan’s girlfriend had a great figure.

“Good evening, Brother Fan.” A security guard looked at Lin Fan enviously.

“Evening.” Lin Fan nodded.

“Brother Fan, your girlfriend is really pretty,” another security guard said. He didn’t dare to keep staring at Xia Wanqiu in front of Lin Fan.

“It’s alright. If there’s nothing else, I’ll head back first.” Lin Fan waved his hand and brought Xia Wanqiu through the entrance of the district.

“Alright, take care, Brother Fan,” the security guard said in a friendly manner.

After Lin Fan left, a few security guards gathered together.

“Did you guys see that just now? Brother Fan’s girlfriend is really very pretty. Although she’s wearing a hat and mask, I can still feel that Brother Fan’s girlfriend is very pretty.”

“Yeah, she looks so much better than the girl who came to deliver clothes last time. Brother Fan is so lucky, he’s going to get some action tonight.”

“It’s just that I feel that this girl looks a little familiar. Sigh, I don’t care anymore. This is the life of a rich second-generation heir. He can get any pretty girl he wants.”

“I also want to have a beautiful girlfriend like Brother Fan.”

“Alright, alright. Let’s not talk about Brother Fan’s matters, let alone Brother Fan’s girlfriend. Otherwise, if Brother Fan gets angry, all of us will have to bear the consequences.”

…

After entering the neighborhood,

Xia Wanqiu laughed. She felt that Lin Fan’s acting skills were even better than hers.

Xia Wanqiu looked around.

Shouldn’t Lin Fan be living in a very small rented apartment?

Why were the security guards so polite to Lin Fan?

As far as the eye could see, the houses here were all high-rise residential areas. The environment was beautiful, and the trees provided shade. There were street lamps along the streets, and there were gardens all around. There was also a very good view of the sea.

She felt that the place she came from was like a paradise. It was different from the harsh living environment she imagined Lin Fan to be living in.

Lin Fan, lived in such a place?
