Chapter 28 - 28 28 Pretending to be the Boyfriend

28: Chapter 28: Pretending to be the Boyfriend 28: Chapter 28: Pretending to be the Boyfriend After leaving Miao Xuanxuan’s house, Song Xiaodong casually asked, “You, a wealthy heiress, are actually becoming a fitness instructor?

How can anyone believe this?”

“I don’t like the stuff in the company, it’s just too boring, I still prefer doing my own thing.

Oh, by the way, when we get to the guildhall, you mustn’t mention anything about my family.

I am just an ordinary person.”

Song Xiaodong was truly surprised this time and said, “Are you saying that people at the gym have no idea who you really are?”

“What identity do I have, anyway?

It’s just that I have a rich dad, that’s all.

I am still myself, right?”

Song Xiaodong gave Miao Xuanxuan a thumbs-up and said, “I’ve got to see you in a new light.

There are too few wealthy people like you.”

Miao Xuanxuan cracked a smile and said, “I don’t have money.

I’m just an ordinary person who earns a salary of five or six thousand a month.”

Song Xiaodong laughed heartily and said, “Understood.

I’ll feel no pressure pretending to be your boyfriend then.”

The two of them walked and discussed Song Xiaodong’s identity, quickly reaching an agreement, and the atmosphere of their chat was quite delightful.

Miao Xuanxuan didn’t have the temper and willfulness of a wealthy girl, no arrogance, and didn’t look down on others.

She was cheerful and playful, always with a bright smile on her face, walking lightly with particular grace in her casual outfit, exuding youthful vitality.

Miao Xuanxuan also found Song Xiaodong to be a witty talker, and though he knew her identity, he didn’t suck up to her, which she found to be quite rare.

At home, as the daughter of Miao Qingyuan, she was flattered and pursued by everyone, while outside, even those unaware of her identity, would fawn over her for her looks.

A man like Song Xiaodong, who didn’t make a big deal out of her, made her feel exceptionally relaxed.

Moreover, she could sense a confidence from him, an attitude of nonchalance that added to his charm as a man.

Counting this time, the two had only interacted twice, the first being quite unfriendly.

Yet now, they were almost like good friends.

They took a cab and arrived at the Hualong Guildhall, a very upscale establishment with six standalone floors.

Although real estate in Tiannan City wasn’t very expensive, ordinary residences still went for about six or seven thousand per square meter.

The guildhall, with its several thousand square meters, would be worth about twenty million just for the property itself.

After getting out of the cab, they looked at each other, and Song Xiaodong stuck out his elbow.

Miao Xuanxuan rolled her eyes at him, then extended her arm, and, taking advantage of the moment, pinched Song Xiaodong’s arm, saying, “I’m warning you, it’s just for show.

You’re not allowed to take advantage of me.”

“That’s hard to say.

You have to adapt to the situation, right?

I’m more worried you’ll end up letting me take advantage of you.”

“Humph, keep dreaming,” Miao Xuanxuan rolled her eyes at Song Xiaodong, then took a deep breath, puffed up her chest, showed a sweet smile, wrapped her arm around Song Xiaodong’s, and stepped inside.

Miao Qingqing was wearing a loose T-shirt, and Song Xiaodong was in a short sleeve.

Both had bare arms, which when pressed together, really belonged to the skin-to-skin category.

Miao Xuanxuan’s skin was not only fair but also smooth and delicate, like silk satin against his arm, unspeakably comfortable.

Song Xiaodong whispered into Miao Xuanxuan’s ear, “Xuanxuan, how come I feel like the person from two years ago was you?

When she was linked with my arm, I had the same feeling.”

Song Xiaodong’s mouth was very close to her ear, which made Miao Xuanxuan subconsciously dodge a little, then turned her head and rolled her eyes at him, whispering back, “We’re twins, okay?

It’s normal for you to have a similar feeling.”

“That’s true,” Song Xiaodong said with a grin, a hint of something more in his eyes.

“If I say no, it’s no.

If you keep thinking that way about me, I’ll get angry with you,” Miao Xuanxuan snapped, pinching Song Xiaodong as she greeted, “Good afternoon.”

Approaching them were four young girls, and Miao Xuanxuan immediately smiled and greeted them.

“Coach Miao, oh, who is this handsome guy?

Don’t tell me he’s your boyfriend?” two of the girls greeted Miao Xuanxuan and promptly turned their attention to Song Xiaodong.

“You guessed it, this is indeed my boyfriend.”

“Wow, come on and introduce him to us,” they exclaimed.

The four girls immediately crowded around.

Song Xiaodong extended his hand generously and introduced himself, “Song Xiaodong, nice to meet you.”

One of them, a chubby little sister named Wang Jing, weighed at least a hundred and fifty or sixty pounds.

She wasn’t very tall, just over one meter fifty, which made her look quite round.

Another was named Sun Yao.

She was a bit tall, over one meter seventy, but also a bit on the plump side.

There was also someone called Li Yue, whose figure was fairly average.

The last one, Tian Yuling, was a bit shorter, but she looked the most attractive among the four.

However, compared to Miao Xuanxuan, they all fell short by quite a bit.

All four of them shook hands with Song Xiaodong.

“Coach Miao, bringing your boyfriend here with such fanfare is going to break the hearts of the guys at the guildhall,” one remarked.

“Song Xiaodong, do you realize that Coach Miao is the dream girl of countless men in our guildhall?

Coming here, you’re definitely going to become public enemy number one,” another said.

With a smile, Song Xiaodong replied, “It’s exactly for this reason that I have to come.

I must declare my sovereignty in front of them; otherwise, worrying about your girlfriend every day is not the way to live.”

The four of them were amused by Song Xiaodong’s comment.

However, when they saw someone carrying a large bunch of bright red roses walking over, their laughter suddenly stopped, and they all adopted a ‘watching the show’ expression.

Song Xiaodong also looked at the person approaching, a young man in his twenties with a substantial build and a crew cut.

As he walked over, his face shone with excitement.

Seeing Miao Xuanxuan, he hurried over and presented the flowers in front of her, saying, “Xuanxuan, these are for you.”

This left Song Xiaodong somewhat speechless.

Wasn’t this guy being a bit too simple-minded?

Miao Xuanxuan was currently holding his arm; couldn’t he see that?

Miao Xuanxuan stealthily pinched Song Xiaodong’s arm, signaling to him that this guy was indeed Xiao Qiang, the one who had been relentlessly pursuing her.
