Chapter 10 Pretending to be a Boyfriend

Third floor, bathroom.

Xu Yuanyuan was soaking in the bathtub, leisurely humming a tune, lathering herself in bubbles.

"La la la, I love taking baths, feeling so good!" Xu Yuanyuan hummed as she rose from the bath, ready to take a shower.

Just then, a man flipped through the window.

Xu Yuanyuan looked up, their eyes met, and she immediately let out a piercing scream.

"Aaaah!!"

Xu Yuanyuan's scream appeared to surpass eighty decibels, instantly spreading throughout the entire villa.

"Stop, don't scream!" Ye Wudao hurriedly covered Xu Yuanyuan's mouth, his nervousness peaking.

"Pervert, who let you in here!" Xu Yuanyuan pushed him away and quickly hid in the bathtub upon realizing she was standing.

At that moment, voices from Mr. and Mrs. Xu came from outside the door; "What's wrong, Yuanyuan?"

Ye Wudao panicked at this sight.

He certainly didn't want to be seen as a pervert, nor did he want to be misunderstood by Xu's parents as a lecher.

Seeing Ye Wudao giving her a pleading look, Xu Yuanyuan felt very smug and raised her head, saying, "Scared, aren't you?"

"Yuanyuan, weren't you in the middle of a bath? What happened? Hurry up and open the door, let mom take a look!" Mrs. Xu implored anxiously, pulling at the doorknob.

Xu Yuanyuan quickly said, "It's nothing, mom, there was a cockroach in the bathroom that scared me to death!"

"These useless maids, taking the money but can't even deal with a cockroach!" Mrs. Xu was angered.

"All right, wife, let's go back to our room and rest," Mr. Xu consoled her from outside the door.

Only after hearing the footsteps fade away did Ye Wudao breathe a sigh of relief.

"You jerk, who allowed you to climb through the window!" Xu Yuanyuan said angrily, disappointed.

She had had a good impression of Ye Wudao, but now it was completely destroyed.

"It wasn't on purpose, listen to me!"

"Don't say anything, I'm very disappointed in you!" Xu Yuanyuan cried angrily, feeling like someone who secretly adored an exceptional man, only to find out he was a sleazy pervert; she found it utterly unacceptable.

"Don't cry, I, I..." Ye Wudao was at a loss for words.

Just then the bathroom door was pushed open, and Xu Mengmeng came in and explained the situation.

"What, it was like that?" Xu Yuanyuan's expression changed from dejection to surprise, then to shyness.

Upon seeing the misunderstanding cleared, Xu Mengmeng quickly pushed Ye Wudao out of the bathroom.

"Brother Ye, how about it, my sister has a good figure, right?" Xu Mengmeng giggled.

"Cough cough..." Ye Wudao coughed twice, not knowing what to say.

Night.

Ye Wudao lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, his blood churning with the bewitching scene from the bathroom, and that violent evil fire surged again within him.

"No, stay calm, Ye Wudao, you need to stay calm!" Ye Wudao took a deep breath, stubbornly trying to sleep.

Unable to fall asleep, Ye Wudao could only sit cross-legged on the bed and begin to cultivate.

His primary Cultivation Technique was the Dragon Emperor's Heavenly Suppression, mighty and unparalleled, considered the strongest Cultivation Technique of Kunlun!

However, this technique had a flaw; while the Dragon Emperor's Heavenly Suppression was indeed powerful and invincible, cultivating Dragon Qi was tremendously difficult!

Dragon Qi was far more potent than True Qi by hundreds and thousands of times, unpredictable and complicated, leading to the risk of cultivators being overwhelmed by the accumulated Dragon Qi within their bodies.

It was like a balloon being incessantly filled with air, bound to explode sooner or later!

But Ye Wudao was lucky, as he was also cultivating the Bodhi Heart-Calming Technique.

Though it couldn't solve the problem of the volatile Dragon Qi completely, it helped to steady and calm the mind.

Whoosh!

Ye Wudao took a deep breath, sitting cross-legged with a faint golden glow radiating from his body, looking particularly mystical.

A night passed.

Ye Wudao slowly opened his eyes and gently exhaled a breath of turbid air.

From downstairs came a commotion, punctuated by the sound of something being thrown.

What's happening?

Ye Wudao, upon hearing the noise, stood up and went downstairs.

Downstairs, in the living room.

A group of people stood together.

The most eye-catching were the two Xu sisters, with Xu Mengmeng looking cute and lively.

Xu Yuanyuan was dressed in a black spaghetti strap dress today, tall and slender with a delicate face, like a lady of high society.

In front of Xu Yuanyuan was a young man in a suit, sporting gold-rimmed glasses and holding a bouquet of roses in his hand.

"Yuanyuan, I never imagined you would be even prettier than your aunt described. These are the roses I've brought for you!" the man with the gold-rimmed glasses said as he extended the fresh flowers.

Bang!

Xu Yuanyuan pushed them away, and the flowers fell to the floor, knocking out a box in the process.

Xu's mother opened the box, and inside was an exquisite diamond ring, which immediately shocked her, "It's actually a Cartier diamond ring worth a million! Yuanyuan, you've gone too far!"

The man with the gold-rimmed glasses touched his nose, giving an awkward smile.

"Mom, I've told you, I don't like this Wang Yu. You wouldn't let me date in university, and now you're forcing marriage on me right after graduation. Have you ever considered my feelings?" Xu Yuanyuan said angrily.

"Shut up!" Xu's mother scolded. "I didn't let you date before because I was afraid you would be deceived by bad men in society. Wang Yu is from the Jianyu Group, educated abroad, highly educated, with a good character. You and Wang Yu are a perfect match!"

"I refuse!" Xu Yuanyuan rejected. "To be with him, I would rather die!"

Slap!

Xu's mother's palm struck Xu Yuanyuan's face. "What did you say?"

"Wu wu!" Xu Yuanyuan cried.

Xu's father immediately stood up and said, "Wife, you should consider Yuanyuan's feelings too."

"You shut up too!" Xu's mother gave Xu's father a cold glare, and he gave a sheepish smile before settling back down on the sofa.

"That Wang Yu, it's fine, your aunt supports the two of you being together wholeheartedly, his father does too!" Xu's mother said with a smile.

"Yes, yes!" Xu's father agreed, nodding.

"Auntie, I understand Yuanyuan's feelings, after all, we've just met. But I promise you and uncle that I'll be wholeheartedly devoted to Yuanyuan, just as uncle is to you!" Wang Yu said earnestly.

"That's wonderful!" Xu's mother was delighted and said to Xu Yuanyuan, "See? Wang Yu is sincere. Now, Yuanyuan, don't go home for lunch. Go out to eat with Wang Yu; you young people should interact more."

"I don't want to, I won't go!" Xu Yuanyuan refused.

"You must go!" Xu's mother said coldly.

"I have a boyfriend already, why should I go on a date with another man?" Xu Yuanyuan countered.

Whoosh!

The revelation caused an uproar!

"What, my daughter has a boyfriend?" Xu's father stood up, shocked.

"Haha, you have a boyfriend, I don't believe it. You've been under our watchful eyes from childhood to adulthood, how could you possibly have a boyfriend?" Xu's mother was full of skepticism.

Xu Yuanyuan said, "Mom, my boyfriend is handsome, treats me well, protects me, and is better than this Wang Yu in every aspect, not just a hundred times better!"

"Stop putting your boyfriend on a pedestal. Which university did he graduate from? What's his family background? Call him over. I shall see for myself!" Xu's mother said with anger in her eyes.

"My boyfriend is right in this house!" Xu Yuanyuan's statement was explosive.

"Auntie, does Yuanyuan really have a boyfriend?" Wang Yu asked nervously.

"No, Yuanyuan is lying to you. If there were one less fly in this house, I would know. How could a grown man just appear?" Xu's mother reassured with a smile.

Wang Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If Xu Yuanyuan really had a boyfriend, he would look like a clown.

"Daughter, stop teasing us. Your mother is right; you should be in contact with an outstanding man like Wang Yu, not fantasize about some non-existent boyfriend!" Xu's father said sternly.

"Exactly, unless you can conjure up a boyfriend right now, you'll obediently go on that date!" Xu's mother mocked.

Just then, a magnetic voice echoed; "I am Yuanyuan's boyfriend!"
