I Am Wang Ge's Girlfriend

"Xixi, over here!"

Outside Xingfuli Residential Area, where Chen Yanxi lived, Wang Ge waved to her from a distance.

The security guard outside the residential area seemed to recognize Chen Yanxi. He looked at her with surprise, then at Wang Ge.

"Young man, what's your relationship with Xiao Yanxi?" the old man asked, approaching them while smoking a cigarette.

"Just ordinary classmates, for now," Wang Ge replied with a smile.

The security guard, being an experienced man, understood the implication of the word 'for now'. He grinned and patted Wang Ge's shoulder. "You're a handsome young man, with a bit of my youthful charm. Although Xiao Yanxi's family is strict, you're not without hope. Keep it up, I'm rooting for you."

"Thank you, grandpa. I won't let you down!" Wang Ge laughed heartily.

The old man was amused and patted Wang Ge's shoulder again. He was about to share some information when he saw Chen Yanxi approaching. He then turned to greet her:

"Xiao Yanxi, going out with a friend?"

"Yes, Grandpa Liu. Please take care of yourself. Don't come to work if you're feeling unwell," Chen Yanxi nodded.

"Haha, don't worry, I'm in good health," Grandpa Liu chuckled. "It's good to relax. Much better than going to those darn cram schools every day. This young man looks decent too. Go have fun, I won't tell your parents."

"Thank you, Grandpa Liu."

Chen Yanxi politely bowed slightly to Grandpa Liu.

Seeing this, Wang Ge imitated her and bowed to Grandpa Liu as well. "Thank you, Grandpa Liu."

Chen Yanxi glanced at him helplessly. Wang Ge grinned and waved to Grandpa Liu. "We'll be going now, grandpa. Talk to you later, okay?"

Grandpa Liu chuckled heartily, waving back. "Go have fun, go have fun. Enjoy yourselves."

"Got it~"

Chen Yanxi looked at Wang Ge with a slightly strange expression. This guy's social skills were too impressive. With all that enthusiasm, one would think he was a resident of this complex.

"Little Xixi, let's go."

Wang Ge hailed a taxi.

Soon, the taxi stopped in front of a bathhouse.

Chen Yanxi glanced at the large sign that read "Red Romance Bathhouse" and turned to Wang Ge, frowning slightly.

Wang Ge coughed, his expression a little awkward. "This is my childhood friend's business. We agreed to meet here."

Chen Yanxi nodded, not saying anything further.

They walked forward side by side. As they walked, Wang Ge said, "Actually, their place is quite legitimate. They don't do any of that flashy stuff…"

As soon as they stepped into the bathhouse, two beautiful women in qipaos on either side greeted them in soft, syrupy voices:

"Welcome to Red Romance. Please come in."

"We offer all kinds of services here. We hope you both have a wonderful time."

Chen Yanxi's gaze towards him became even stranger.

Wang Ge's mouth twitched. He quickly explained, "Actually, I haven't been here much before. This is my first time, I don't really know what it's like inside…"

Before Wang Ge could finish speaking, the receptionist at the front desk recognized him. "Oh my, isn't this Young Master Wang? You haven't been here in ages! All the ladies in the shop have missed you so much."

Wang Ge: "……"

His face turned completely dark.

He wanted to make one last attempt to salvage the situation, but Chen Yanxi shook her head slightly, stopping him. "There's no need to explain further. Explaining to me is meaningless."

The receptionist then noticed that Young Master Wang had brought a female companion. Realizing she had spoken out of turn, she quickly tried to slip away. "Ah, um, Young Master Wang, please wait here a moment. I'll go call our little boss for you…"

With that, she scurried away. Wang Ge could only glare resentfully at her retreating figure, then try to save himself and salvage his last shred of dignity.

"I really haven't been here much, Xixi. You have to believe me. I've only been here once or twice, and I just took a normal bath. I didn't even let them touch me…"

Wang Ge looked at Chen Yanxi pleadingly, his tone even carrying a hint of grievance.

Chen Yanxi shook her head, finding it a little amusing. "I told you, explaining to me is meaningless. I don't care about these things."

"It's about my personal integrity. Even if you don't care, I have to explain clearly. What if you secretly deduct points from me in your heart?" Wang Ge argued earnestly.

Chen Yanxi thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't matter. Even if points are deducted, no one will surpass you."

"So, my standing in your heart is that high?" Wang Ge asked, surprised.

"You're thinking too much. It's just that I don't know other people well, and it's rude to evaluate people I don't know using a point system," Chen Yanxi explained calmly.

"Hmm, so I'm the only one with points…" Wang Ge pondered for a moment, his eyes lighting up. "In other words, you only have me in your heart!"

"…Your imagination is very vivid."

While the two were chatting idly, two men and two women walked out from inside the bathhouse.

"Wang Lao Er! You're late again!" the man in front shouted at Wang Ge.

"Exactly! Unreliable men are the least dependable," the girl next to him chimed in with a giggle.

The remaining man and woman stood by, chuckling and watching the scene unfold.

"Stop barking. It's good enough that I made it," Wang Ge rolled his eyes at the man. "You really thought of suggesting your own bathhouse as our meeting spot."

"What's wrong with that? We can take a bath before going out, it's so convenient," the man in front said matter-of-factly. He then turned his gaze to Chen Yanxi beside him, "Aren't you going to introduce her?"

The other three also looked at Chen Yanxi, their eyes filled with curiosity.

Wang Ge first introduced his friends to Chen Yanxi. "This is Zhou Liu. This bathhouse is his family's. This is his girlfriend, Chen Man'an. The other two are Zhou Liu's friends. That man's family is in real estate, his name is Huang Wenyan, and next to him is his girlfriend, Yang Songyue."

The four of them smiled and greeted Chen Yanxi, their attitudes very friendly.

"Hello."

Chen Yanxi nodded slightly at them, showing no shyness or reserve in facing strangers.

Her gaze was calm, and her tone was even: "My name is Chen Yanxi, and I'm Wang Ge's girlfriend."

"Wow, your skin is really good. How do you usually take care of it?" Chen Man'an, as if they were old friends, moved closer to Chen Yanxi and asked curiously.

Yang Songyue also leaned in, exclaiming, "Wow, it's true! It feels almost like a newborn baby's. Chen Yanxi, what skincare products do you use? Can you share?"

Chen Yanxi couldn't quite handle their enthusiasm. She took two steps back to create some distance before shaking her head. "I don't use any skincare products."

"Born beautiful? I'm so envious..."

Chen Man'an and Yang Songyue were both wearing light makeup and expensive dresses that accentuated their figures. They were beautiful and stylish.

Chen Yanxi, however, hadn't done any extra styling. She looked pretty much the same as usual, wearing large black-rimmed glasses that covered half her face and a plain, monotonous outfit of trousers and a jacket.

But even so, standing between the two of them, she didn't lose out at all. In fact, she seemed to outshine them.

Looking at the three of them standing together, Wang Ge suddenly realized that while temperament might be ethereal, it was undeniably real. Even though her clothes were ordinary and her styling unremarkable, if you looked at the three of them, your eyes would first land on Chen Yanxi, not on the more elaborately dressed Chen Man'an and Yang Songyue.

This wasn't to say Chen Man'an and Yang Songyue weren't attractive. Quite the opposite, they were both exceptionally beautiful, and even more so with makeup. They were the kind of girls who would be considered campus beauties at their respective schools.

But unfortunately, they lacked that certain qi zhi (temperament/aura).

In fact, this was quite normal. Temperament usually only appeared in older people.

They possessed rich life experiences, having weathered the unpredictable nature of fate and life's ups and downs. Their temperament was the sedimentation of their life's journey, the scars left after their struggles with destiny, like the wrinkles etched around their eyes by time.

How could someone so young possess such a thing? They would only be shouting about how their fate was in their own hands and then rush headlong into danger.

Yet, Chen Yanxi possessed this ethereal temperament, an immense detachment, as if everything in the world could be abandoned at any moment.

It could only be said that it wasn't that their side was too weak, but that the opposing side was too powerful.
