7: Chapter 7 She actually has a boyfriend?!

Lin Yuan really did have plans for the evening.

Her best friend, Lu Niannian, had invited her to dinner to chat about the latest gossip.

The two met at a restaurant.

During dinner, Lin Yuan took the opportunity to vent to her best friend about being harassed by her superior at work.

Upon hearing this, Lu Niannian flew into a rage, nearly overturning the table. "Damn it, that old bald donkey is already in his forties and still wants to take advantage of a college student in her early twenties? Does he have no shame?"

Recalling her colleague's words, Lin Yuan added, "Not only could he be my father, but he also has a wife and daughter. I heard his daughter is the same age as me."

Lu Niannian was thoroughly disgusted. "That's even more disgusting. When he was harassing you, didn't he think about his daughter? Shouldn't he be accumulating some blessings for her?"

Lin Yuan shook her head. Who knows about such things?

"I just don't understand. Men who are already married, have a wife and children, and a complete life—why can't they just behave?"

Hearing Manager He say that all the married men around him were like this made her feel even more disgusted.

"Most men are like that. No matter their age or marital status, they won't behave unless they're hanging on the wall!"

After saying this, Lu Niannian thought of a plan. "Yuanyuan, next time that disgusting old bald donkey harasses you, record it. Send the recording to his wife and let her deal with him!"

Lin Yuan smiled bitterly. "How would I have his wife's contact information?"

Lu Niannian: "But you can't just keep letting trash like that harass you!"

"Can you really feel comfortable being stared at by such a disgusting man every day?"

Lin Yuan: "..."

It certainly wasn't comfortable.

Lu Niannian thought of another trick. "Right, how about you find a boyfriend? If you have a boyfriend, that old bald donkey won't dare to harass you anymore."

Lin Yuan was stunned. "Find a boyfriend?"

"Yes, find a boyfriend!"

"If I have a boyfriend, will I really not be harassed anymore?"

Lu Niannian nodded. "Yeah, I was harassed by my boss before, more than once. Then I asked my boyfriend to pick me up and drop me off from work every day. After the boss saw that, he stopped harassing me."

"You should hurry up and get a boyfriend too. Have him pick you up and drop you off every day to protect you. I guarantee no other men will harass you again!"

Single girls are the easiest targets for bad men, especially pretty ones. No matter where they are, it's dangerous.

Unless there is someone to protect them, bad people won't hesitate to act.

But Lin Yuan was just a girl from an ordinary family, and she was single. How could she have the ability to protect herself?

Unless she could find a capable boyfriend.

Lin Yuan sighed helplessly. "That's easy to say, but boyfriends aren't that easy to find."

Lu Niannian blinked. "You're so pretty and have such a great figure; you must have plenty of admirers, right? So finding a boyfriend should be a piece of cake, no?"

"Or is it that you're still thinking about that person?"

Lin Yuan froze for a moment. A refined and handsome figure faintly appeared in her mind.

Then, she slowly shook her head. "I'm not thinking about him anymore."

It's been so long, why would I still be thinking about him?

She had a new life now, busy as a bee every day. Who had time to pine for men or worry about romance?

She even felt that being single for the rest of her life and not getting married would be just fine.

Lu Niannian smiled and said, "Since you're not thinking about him anymore, just get a boyfriend. My boyfriend has plenty of single friends. I'll introduce them to you someday."

Lin Yuan shook her head again. "Forget it, I'll think about it."

Meanwhile.

On the second floor of the same restaurant.

At a table by the railing near the stairs sat two men with superior looks and excellent bone structure.

Han Muchen sat with his legs crossed, looking at the man opposite him who had already finished quite a bit of red wine. He raised an eyebrow. "Fu Mingxiu, you don't seem to be in a good mood. Did your mother force you to go on another blind date?"

Fu Mingxiu's slender fingers holding the wine glass paused for a moment, then he took a sip as if nothing was wrong, his thin lips moving slightly.

"Boring."

Han Muchen pursed his lips. "Who's the boring one here?"

"You called me out to chat, but you're just drinking non-stop and won't say a word."

What was there to say?

Fu Mingxiu didn't know what to say either. He just felt annoyed and needed someone to drink with.

In the past few days, his mother had arranged quite a few blind dates for him, urging him to date, get married, have children, and carry on the family line.

He was annoyed by the nagging. He went through the motions and met a few, but none of them caught his eye.

Furthermore, he was still thinking about that girl from that night.

What happened that night haunted him like a nightmare, tightly binding him and leaving him restless.

Her breath, her sweetness—it was like dangerous poison, deadly yet addictive.

He couldn't get enough of it.

Without realizing it, more than a week had passed. She should be recovered by now.

They still had that 'doing it' agreement, but it had been so long. He hadn't contacted her, and she hadn't contacted him either?

The man frowned. His gaze shifted, and he suddenly caught sight of a familiar white figure downstairs.

His eyes instantly froze.

It was actually her?

Han Muchen was curious about Fu Mingxiu's reaction. "What are you looking at?"

"So engrossed?"

He looked in the direction of Fu Mingxiu's gaze and spotted a pair of girls eating in the corner of the restaurant downstairs.

The two girls were chatting about something, laughing one moment and looking troubled the next.

Han Muchen: "Tsk, not bad looking. Which one do you like?"

"Is it the one in the white dress?"

The girl in the white dress was the prettiest—beautiful, pure, fair-skinned, and had a clean aura.

The kind you'd never forget after one glance.

Fu Mingxiu calmly withdrew his gaze and shot a glance at Han Muchen. "Vulgar."

Han Muchen smiled playfully. "How am I vulgar? Isn't an appreciation for beauty universal?"

"Brother, if you're not going to make a move on such a beautiful girl, I'm going to."

Fu Mingxiu frowned and took another sip of wine.

Looking downstairs again, he discovered that the familiar figure had suddenly disappeared.

Lin Yuan had gone to the restroom halfway through her meal.

When she came out, she accidentally bumped into a drunk man.

The drunk man's eyes lit up when he saw Lin Yuan's pure and moving appearance.

Liquid courage emboldened him, and he immediately asked, "Yo, beauty, can we get to know each other?"

Lin Yuan hated running into drunks like this most of all; not only did they reek of alcohol, but they were also prone to acting crazy.

She quickly stepped back. "No, sorry, I have a boyfriend."

"You have a boyfriend?"

"Sorry, sorry."

The drunk man still had some sense left. He apologized and rushed into the men's restroom.

Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and started walking back.

A tall, slender, black-clad figure walking towards her instantly made her freeze in place.

That chiseled, sophisticated, and handsome face—even after more than a week, it left a deep impression on her.

The man walked at a measured pace, his gaze cold, looking straight ahead.

Just when Lin Yuan was nervous, thinking he would walk towards her, he actually walked right past her.

Lin Yuan blinked, still not daring to move.

Had he... already forgotten her?

It was possible.

After all, they had only met twice.

Fu Mingxiu returned to his seat, his eyes harboring a hint of irritation. His mind was filled with Lin Yuan's words from just a moment ago: she had a boyfriend.

Just a week ago, she was single and unmarried. After only one week, she had a boyfriend?

No wonder she didn't want to take responsibility for him.

She wanted to stay chaste for her boyfriend.

Han Muchen noticed Fu Mingxiu's mood was off. "Brother, what's wrong with you again? Are you on your period?"

Fu Mingxiu shot a cold glance at Han Muchen. "Your mouth is so annoying, do you want me to poison it so you can't speak?"

Han Muchen: "Tsk, I'm just concerned about you."

Fu Mingxiu scoffed lightly, his gaze unable to stop drifting downstairs again.

The girl in the white dress had returned to her seat, sitting properly and looking particularly delicate.

He furrowed his brows tightly. How did she suddenly have a boyfriend?
