Chapter 1: Give Me a Dozen Boyfriends!

In the bustling streets of downtown, Gu Xiaoer stepped out of the bar and staggered towards the opposite side of the road.

Her large, dark pupils flickered, misted over, her eyes rimmed with red, but she stubbornly refused to cry. Rubbing them, she saw the neon sign across the street advertising "Private Services," its colors mysteriously alluring in the night.

"Private Services, huh..." A place where money could make anything happen!

Amused, the girl pointed at the sign in the air and burped the smell of alcohol, "So what if her boyfriend ran away? She'd just rent a professional one!"

She rushed into the Private Service Center.

"Somebody help!"

The lobby manager frowned at the drunk little girl with straight bangs and a long ponytail, emanating a student vibe, "Miss, what kind of service do you need?"

"I don't want services, I want a boyfriend!"

The manager looked incredulously at her young face, playing so boldly, "Miss, you're looking for a boyfriend?"

Seeking a boyfriend here was bound to provoke thoughts...

"Yes!" She seemed to think it over, then shook her head, her long ponytail swinging, "No, give me a dozen! Money's no issue for me!"

Wow, she's had a lot to drink; she's now counting boyfriends by the dozen, just like beer.

Seeing that money wasn't an issue, the lobby manager snapped his fingers happily, "Miss, we do have a boyfriend rental service—daily, monthly, or yearly leases are available. What do you say?"

"What do I say? First, I need to check the goods; call them all out for me to see." She spoke with a boisterous confidence, as if she had seen countless men before.

Soon, a lineup of men stood before Gu Xiaoer.

At first glance, there were tall and short, handsome and plain, plump and slim, all dressed differently. There were workers over forty, trendy and handsome young white-collars, mature elites in suits and leather shoes, as well as home tutors, doctors, assistants...

Wow, so many!

After looking them all over, Gu Xiaoer's dark eyes were filled with double images, and shaking her tiny head in dissatisfaction, she muttered, "Not handsome!"

Boy, she sure was picky. The business manager signaled with his eyes, and another group was already lined up.

"Not handsome, not handsome! Change them!"

The business manager's face fell slightly. Thinking of the money to be made, he gritted his teeth and called out all the pillars of the company.

This time, she ought to be satisfied.

Narrowing her eyes, Gu Xiaoer scrutinized each man. Pfft, unscrupulous dealers, deliberately withholding their highest quality men until the last moment. They must think she had no experience, that she hadn't seen handsome men before.

Unfortunately, the one she liked had given her a green hat and run off with someone else...

As the saying goes, there's no ex you can't forget, only a current flame you're not working hard enough on. She refused to believe she couldn't forget that scumbag Lu Tianze with a new, handsome, and professional current flame.

She swayed, almost pressing her face against the men, but after looking around, she still drooped her little face. Her downcast eyelashes hid the sorrow in her pupils. Could she really not find anyone more handsome than Lu Tianze?

Just as she looked up again, the door of the adjacent VIP room opened with a swish, and a man of tall, lean stature stepped out...

Gu Xiaoer's eyes slid sideways, her dull gaze suddenly sparkling with interest as she gaped at the approaching man.

Top tier!

Black slacks, a gray shirt, sharp features perfectly chiseled, his long, straight legs moving with calm, powerful strides.

So handsome! He was on a whole other level compared to the group before her; this was definitely a top-tier executive model!

The girl curled her lovely eyes and pursed her lips.

Before she knew it, she'd whistled at the man.
