"Hey, hey, hey, isn't this a bit much? Why are you so excited? Anyone would think I'd done something to you."
Chen Xi couldn't understand women; their hearts were like the ocean depths, impossible to fathom.
Gwen was so excited she couldn't speak, never having felt so nervous. She was both thrilled and apprehensive.
Oh, God! Her superhero was the idol she admired! Could anything be more perfect?
But she began to feel uncertain. She was so ordinary, wasn't she? Besides being pretty and having a good figure, she seemed to have nothing else.
Could an Ugly Duckling like her be worthy of him? Was she just a toad dreaming of eating swan meat?
She was wrong about one thing, though: in terms of narcissism, she and Chen Xi were quite similar...
"I'll take you home. Don't want your father worrying that you've been kidnapped. I'm afraid he'll chase after me with a gun again..."
Pfft!
Gwen was instantly amused by Chen Xi's words. She still remembered how her dad had pointed a gun at him last time and gotten a scolding. It would be so interesting if they met again.
"Alright, the clouds have parted. Let's go."
Chen Xi opened the car door for her in a gentlemanly manner, letting her get in. This time, he was driving a more low-key Ferrari.
"It's beautiful!"
Gwen couldn't help but be amazed as she looked at the luxurious sports car. Girls generally liked sports cars, and they also loved small animals, like cows and horses.
But with Gwen's family, they really couldn't afford such a Ferrari supercar, otherwise, her family wouldn't be neighbors with Parker.
"Haha, do you like it? I'll give it to you."
Chen Xi said nonchalantly, "It's just a sports car. My garage is already overflowing, and cars from various sponsors are practically free..."
Gwen's eyes immediately lit up. Do rich people like to use supercars to show off?
Although she loved sports cars very much, she never coveted things that weren't hers, so she could only sigh and touch the passenger seat.
"I will work hard to get what I like, but as you say in your hometown: I understand that you shouldn't accept something without earning it."
"That's right. There aren't many girls with the right values, especially in today's materialistic world."
Amidst the myriad lights of the city, Chen Xi looked at the world outside and felt the same way. He thought of Wanda back home, who was just like her.
That girl never drove his luxury cars, but instead used the money he gave her to buy a Mini...
"Do you have a girlfriend? I heard many young, beautiful female stars outside have rumors with you, such as Stewart, Emma, Margot, and so on..."
Western girls are more lively and bold; they never hide their feelings and suppress their affections. Gwen was no exception.
But she regretted saying it as soon as the words left her mouth. She seemed to lose confidence the more she spoke, and she wanted to slap herself…
"What? You want to be my girlfriend?"
Chen Xi turned his head and stared at her with a smile.
"No… no, I was just asking."
Gwen didn't dare to meet Chen Xi's teasing gaze. The gentle, magnetic voice that washed over her made her secretly infatuated.
She felt her heart pounding wildly because of her words, especially in this cramped space with her superhero and idol…
The ambiguous atmosphere grew thicker, especially with the man beside her, whose eyes and face were simply too unfair!
Which woman could stand his predatory gaze? She was afraid that if she looked at him for another second, she would completely fall. After all, this damn man had too much charisma!!
"Alright, I won't tease you anymore."
Chen Xi laughed and retracted his gaze. He could feel that this girl's heart was about to jump out of her throat, the ups and downs were a bit too much, Gwen...
"Of course I have a girlfriend, hehe, a man as outstanding as me should have eight or ten girlfriends!"
Chen Xi answered her seriously. Counting his girlfriends, it seemed like there was only Wanda. There were countless women, and the saying "you become who you associate with" was right. It was all Tony's fault, that old fox, who had corrupted him.
"Ah? Eight or ten? So many? People say the entertainment industry is very chaotic, and your circle is indeed quite chaotic."
Gwen widened her eyes in shock. Everyone knew about the entertainment industry, but she didn't expect it to be so chaotic?
"Haha, just kidding."
"Annoying!"
Gwen breathed a sigh of relief. She thought to herself that there couldn't possibly be ten or eight girlfriends.
However, Chen Xi's next sentence made her emo again.
"I have a girlfriend, I'll introduce you to her some other day."
She didn't care if he said he had ten or eight girlfriends.
But she fell silent about this one girlfriend.
Because this must be true love...
"Heh, sure, some other day."
Gwen replied distractedly, although it was her own wishful thinking, she felt like she was experiencing the heartbreak of a breakup before it even began...
"Gwen, oh Gwen, aren't you silly? A man as outstanding as him wouldn't be without a girlfriend, how could a little Ugly Duckling like you be worthy of him?"
A little Gwen angel comforted her gently.
"Bullshit! As long as you swing your pickaxe hard enough, there's no corner you can't dig! Go for it! Dig hard!"
A little Gwen devil fiercely encouraged her.
"You want to make your master the Mistress?"
"Nonsense! Are they married? No, right? In love, there are only winners and losers, no right or wrong!"
The angel and the devil immediately started arguing, almost coming to blows.
Gwen's head was pounding, her thoughts a chaotic mess…
Chen Xi watched Gwen's face, which was changing expressions faster than a Sichuan opera mask, and couldn't help but chuckle. This girl was kind of funny…
He wasn't about to hide anything about his situation; sneaking around like a thief was beneath him. If he couldn't handle even Gwen, he might as well go hang himself with a noodle.
"Want to go grab a drink at the Bar?"
Chen Xi asked with a smile.
If she were naive, he would show her the world's splendor.
If her heart was weary, he would take her on a carousel ride.
But for a woman with a weary heart, forget it; he wasn't in the habit of sharing trenches with other men.
With Gwen's strict upbringing, she probably had never been to a bar, and the law likely forbade her from drinking.
Gwen's eyes immediately lit up at the thought of a bar.
She'd always heard her "bad influence" classmates talking about how fun bars were, with handsome men and beautiful women everywhere. She'd been itching to go for ages.
"Okay, I've never been before. Will I look like a country bumpkin? I don't know anything."
