Chapter 231: Chapter 211: The Appearance of a Great Beauty
“Super big beauty??”
Liu Wentian walked towards the entrance with confusion. At Feige Entertainment, beauties were everywhere, and the bodyguards here had higher standards than average people. Not many could be called super big beauties.
Bai Ruguo certainly lived up to the title, but if it were Bai Ruguo, the bodyguard would have respectfully called her “Miss” instead. Could it be Li He who came to find him??
When Liu Wentian reached the door, he saw, a face that felt very familiar yet had changed considerably.
The skin was flawless, like curdled milk, the figure tall and slender, the posture graceful. The features were delicate and gentle, dressed in the fashion of a metropolitan beauty, she was utterly enchanting with a touch of frailty about her.
Liu Wentian smiled, “Indeed a super big beauty. Xiao Jade, it hasn’t been long since we’ve seen each other, and I almost didn’t recognize you.”
This beauty was none other than Xie Xiaoyu.
He had previously introduced Xie Xiaoyu to collaborate with Tiange Group for a promotional advertisement, testing a beauty product he had formulated himself. He expected some change in Xie Xiaoyu, but he didn’t anticipate such a significant transformation.
Not only had her skin become as smooth and fair as a peeled egg, but she had also ditched the old-fashioned black-framed glasses, likely for contact lenses, and most importantly, she had learned how to dress, gaining a more charismatic presence.
It must have been during the advertisement shoot, when aiming to show the results of using “Hua Xiangrong,” that professionals taught her how to dress herself up.
Xie Xiaoyu wasn’t exactly an ugly duckling to begin with, but now, she truly had turned into a swan.
At that moment, she wore a black OL (office lady) outfit, and beneath the short skirt, her long legs sheathed in flesh-colored stockings were inarguably seductive, and Liu Wentian couldn’t help but sneak a few glances.
Of course, it was pure admiration; any normal man would have taken a few extra looks upon encountering such a beauty.
The bodyguard beside them, seeing that the two did indeed know each other, reluctantly walked away. Naturally, it was not Liu Wentian he was reluctant to leave, but rather the gorgeous OL lady with the long legs.
Hearing Liu Wentian’s words, Xie Xiaoyu smiled shyly, looking particularly joyful, but modestly said, “Don’t praise me so highly, I’m not any super beauty.”
Though she had become very beautiful, she still seemed as shy as before, but now her face bore more self-confidence and was devoid of that timorous air.
“Do you need something from me?” asked Liu Wentian with a smile.
A trace of sadness flickered in Xie Xiaoyu’s eyes. She knew early on that Liu Wentian had returned a few days ago, but he just hadn’t come to look for her. Perhaps to him, she was just a passerby.
Now, as she walked on the street, men would occasionally approach her to chat, and she felt much more self-confident than before.
Today, she had plucked up the courage to dress up carefully. If Liu Wentian wouldn’t seek her out, then she would come to him. On her way here, she entertained the shy thought: would Liu Wentian stick to her now that she had become pretty??
It wasn’t that she was afraid of Liu Wentian clinging to her; on the contrary, she somewhat hoped that he would. Sometimes at night, she dreamed Liu Wentian were shamelessly pursuing her to be his girlfriend, and then upon waking, she’d just giggle foolishly.
But the reality turned out to be somewhat disappointing. Beyond his initial impression of surprise, Liu Wentian seemed to show little other interest.
Xie Xiaoyu tried her best not to let her disappointment show, and with a smile, said, “You introduced me to Tiange Group for the advertisement shoot, and I haven’t properly thanked you yet. So, I wanted to invite you for a meal.”
Liu Wentian replied with a smile, “There’s no need for such formality. It’s not necessary to take me out to eat every time I help.”
He said this because such a scenario had happened once before when Xie Xiaoyu thanked him for teaching her troublesome agent a lesson.
Xie Xiaoyu naturally understood his point and sighed inwardly. If she hadn’t searched for him, he wouldn’t have come looking for her at all.
She insisted, a tad stubbornly, “I still want to treat you!”
Liu Wentian did not insist on his point and nodded with a smile, “Well, alright then, since it’s almost time to get off work. But I’ll be the one to treat you. To go out for a meal with a big beauty, if I let you pay, I’d be criticized for living off a woman. Hehe.”
Xie Xiaoyu’s face lit up with a radiant smile, “Okay then, you treat me. Hehe.”
She didn’t care who was treating whom or what they ate; what mattered to her was who she was eating with.
Liu Wentian and Xie Xiaoyu left the building, and as he was about to go to the garage for his car, Xie Xiaoyu said, “Liu Wentian, let’s take the bus to dinner, shall we?”
“The bus?” Liu Wentian was taken aback.
He planned to take Xie Xiaoyu to “Tianranju” for dinner; he had been there before, pretending to be Bai Ruge’s boyfriend, and had enjoyed the food there.
From Feige Entertainment to “Tianranju” was several bus stops away, and there was still a distance to walk after getting off the bus. He wasn’t quite clear why she wanted to take the bus since driving would certainly be much faster.
“It’s rush hour now; the roads are too congested. If we drive, we might get stuck in traffic,” Xie Xiaoyu explained.
Liu Wentian was puzzled. Although it was a busier time on the roads, he didn’t think they would be completely gridlocked, but since Xie Xiaoyu said so, he naturally wouldn’t oppose it.
“Okay, then let’s take the bus,” said Liu Wentian with a smile.
“Mhm.”
A smile appeared on Xie Xiaoyu’s face. Her reason for wanting to take the bus with Liu Wentian was simply to spend more time with him.
After a short walk, the two arrived at the nearby bus stop, where a dozen or so people were already waiting for the bus.
When the 206 bus they were waiting for arrived, it was already somewhat crowded. At this stop, another ten or so people surged in, and it was with difficulty that Liu Wentian and Xie Xiaoyu managed to squeeze on.
The doors of the bus closed, and the bus moved forward once again.
At this time, there were already no seats available, so the two stood in the middle of the bus, close together due to the crowdedness, with a distance no more than 5 centimeters between them.
“I, I feel…”
Suddenly, Xie Xiaoyu felt something was off before she could finish her sentence, she looked up to find Liu Wentian staring coldly at something behind her.
Xie Xiaoyu turned her pretty head and saw a sleazy-looking middle-aged man standing behind her. At that moment, Liu Wentian was grabbing his hand, which was almost about to touch her there.
“Ah!!”
This time, Xie Xiaoyu was genuinely scared and pressed against Liu Wentian for safety, immediately realizing she had encountered a bus pervert.
“You little bastard, what the hell are you doing!! Let go of my hand right now!!” The middle-aged man glared at Liu Wentian and barked ferociously.
Liu Wentian replied coldly, “You’re trying to take advantage of my friend, and you’re asking me what I want to do?? Tell me, what should I want to do!!”
“Bullshit!!”
However, the middle-aged man smirked with confidence, “You say I want to take advantage of her, then produce some evidence. If you can’t provide evidence, then let go of my goddamn hand!! You’re slandering me—do you believe I can slap some sense into you??”
Liu Wentian saw his arrogant demeanor and guessed this wasn’t the first time he had done something like this, a chill flashed in his eyes and he was about to make a move, but just then he heard Xie Xiaoyu exclaim,
“Liu Wentian, someone is stealing over there!!”
In a flash, all the passengers in the bus followed Xie Xiaoyu’s gaze, only to see a shifty-eyed young man sneakily slipping two fingers into the pocket of a suited middle-aged man standing next to him—a black wallet was almost completely out.
Due to the cramped bus, he was standing very close to the suited middle-aged man, so no one had noticed this scene originally. However, Xie Xiaoyu’s shout made almost everyone aware of his actions in an instant.@@novelbin@@
By now, it was too late for him to attempt to put the wallet back.
Initially, people might have expected the young man to become panicked upon being caught, but instead, after his face turned unsightly, he glared at Xie Xiaoyu fiercely, then stuffed the wallet he had snatched into his clothing.
Many passengers showed angry expressions at his actions and wanted to capture him to teach him a lesson, but then the young man pulled out a knife about ten centimeters long and cursed, “Damn it!! Who dares to call me a thief, stand out! Looking for trouble with me, truly courting death!!”
Those who had moved to capture him now stiffened and dared not speak.
“You filthy woman, you dare to slander me—do you want to die? I’ll kill you if you don’t believe me!!” The young man threatened Xie Xiaoyu with the knife, looking deadly fierce.
Xie Xiaoyu’s face turned pale with fear, but she still stubbornly said, “I saw you stealing the wallet!!”
She pointed to the man who had been robbed, “His wallet is in your chest right now!!”
To her astonishment, upon hearing her accusation, the middle-aged man quickly shook his head in terror, “No, I haven’t lost my wallet, that’s not my wallet, it’s his own! I’m telling you not to spout nonsense!!”
Then, with some fear, he said to the young man, “I haven’t lost my wallet, it’s this woman making trouble out of nothing; if you have to find someone, go find her!!”
“Haha, good that you know your place!!”
The young man patted the man’s face with the backside of the knife, making him tremble with fear.
Now, with a fierce look, the young man scanned the bus and challenged, “Who here saw me stealing? Come on, speak up!!”
The passengers all avoided his gaze, not daring to look at him or respond.
“You, you all…”
Xie Xiaoyu looked unbelievingly at these people; they had clearly seen the theft happen, but now they didn’t dare to speak up.
Shame was evident on their faces, but they avoided looking at Xie Xiaoyu, some played with their phones, others looked out the window, and even the bus driver said nothing.
“Haha!! So what now, do you have any witnesses??” The young man jeered at Xie Xiaoyu, his eyes filled with admiration and longing.
The middle-aged man still held by Liu Wentian looked at the young man and laughed, “A-Qing, not only did this girl slander you, but her man also falsely accused me of being a wolf! Why don’t we just drag her to a hotel, oh my, I have yet to see such a top-grade beauty!!”
He swept his greedy gaze over Xie Xiaoyu, as if he wanted to devour her alive.
Now the other passengers realized these two were in cahoots, and were even less likely to intervene, feeling sympathy for Xie Xiaoyu but not daring to utter a single word, fearing they might be stabbed next!!
The youngster, called A-Qing, also stared at Xie Xiaoyu with a burning gaze and chuckled, “You’re right, this girl looks prettier than any celebrity, her skin looks like it may drip water, and she’s so tall too! Since that’s the case, let’s drag her off the bus!!”
Xie Xiaoyu listened to their vulgar words, feeling both shocked and enraged. What made her even more panicked was that Liu Wentian had not said a word from beginning to end, just watching coldly.
Could it be… he was also afraid of these two? Xie Xiaoyu thought, sinking into utter disappointment.
The middle-aged man looked at Liu Wentian and laughed arrogantly, “Little boy, are you scared stiff? You were so cocky just now, weren’t you? Haha!!”
He pulled out a knife with his other hand and pointed it at Liu Wentian, menacingly saying, “I’m going to pull your girl off the bus now; if you know what’s good for you, let go of my hand and get lost, or I’ll beat you into submission, kid!!”
Liu Wentian finally spoke; he gave a cold look at the silent passengers, then to the middle-aged man, he said, “You want to stab me? Go ahead, try to stab me and see.”
The middle-aged man paused, then a vicious smile spread across his face as he raised the knife and lunged at Liu Wentian!!
“Little boy, do you really think I don’t dare to do it??”
