I'm President Xuan's Man

Even after getting into the car, Wen Shuang was still immersed in the embarrassment of that meme incident.

He still sat in the back seat, leaving a small gap between himself and Xuan Zhe, not daring to cross the line. Seeing that Xuan Zhe's expression was passable, even carrying a hint of amusement, Cao Nanyu grew bolder. After clearing his throat twice, he asked, "Why did the Female King of Hell, Extinction, and White Bone Spirit all smile at you? They even gave you snacks?"

Xuan Zhe looked indifferent, but he secretly matched each nickname to its owner and nodded to himself. Those supervisors really were difficult to deal with.

Wen Shuang gave a shy smile. "They said I was cute."

Cao Nanyu had no reply for a moment, but Xuan Zhe suddenly scoffed. "Ask them later whether they need an examination. When did they go blind?"

Wen Shuang: "?" Why was he suddenly attacking him personally?!

Xuan Zhe still had a poor impression of Wen Shuang. Aside from Jiang Suqing's repeated remarks, he had carefully thought over what had happened at the hotel that night. There were too many holes in it. Since Wen Shuang had already gone there, why had he not followed through? Had he suddenly found his conscience? No. Jiang Suqing might be a bastard, but he had his own eye for judging people and handling matters. Otherwise, Xuan Zhe would not have stayed friends with him for so long. Wen Shuang was indeed the first person to receive that kind of assessment from Jiang Suqing.

Aside from being influenced by his friend, Xuan Zhe also had a very subtle feeling, as if everything beneath Wen Shuang's skin had been replaced.

Xuan Zhe was a firm materialist, so naturally he would not consider something like a soul swap. The only reasonable explanation he could think of was that Wen Shuang had taken an unconventional route and started playing the "innocent" and "white lotus" act. He kept appearing in front of him again and again—what, did he think Xuan Zhe would join his fishpond too?

Fine. Xuan Zhe sneered inwardly. As long as Wen Shuang could keep playing, he would play along.

As a master at killing conversations, Xuan Zhe successfully silenced both Wen Shuang and Cao Nanyu. The rest of the ride remained quiet, and twenty minutes later, they arrived outside a restaurant.

The moment he stepped onto the stairs, Wen Shuang heard a string of teeth-grating greetings—things like "Long time no see, and you're still as sharp as ever" and "As gorgeous as always." Flattery was never lacking at occasions like this.

Wen Shuang's danger radar had always been excellent. He suddenly stopped and turned to Xuan Zhe. "Aren't we having dinner with Mr. Dilanda?" Little did he know that, in Xuan Zhe's eyes, this attitude instead looked like anxious panic before being exposed.

"Mr. Dilanda rarely comes here. Do you think he's the only one?" Xuan Zhe raised a brow in response.

Wen Shuang thought that made perfect sense. He took a step back and hid behind Xuan Zhe.

That posture, faintly suggestive of dependence, made Xuan Zhe feel unusually awkward. He frowned at Wen Shuang. "What are you doing?"

"Nothing. I'm afraid someone will bully me," Wen Shuang said honestly. He had the distinct feeling that the place was full of wolves and beasts.

Xuan Zhe said, "And hiding behind me will help?"

Wen Shuang nodded heavily. Well, you're the big shot. "Anyway, I'm President Xuan's man. If I embarrass myself, that means embarrassing you. But I'll do my best not to embarrass myself."

Cao Nanyu nearly stumbled at the entrance to the hall.

Expressionless, Xuan Zhe grabbed Wen Shuang and shoved him inside without hesitation.

The moment Wen Shuang appeared, the atmosphere around them seemed to freeze several degrees colder.

"Damn, isn't that what's-his-name? You know, that guy!"

"The one who seduced the young master of the Chen Household?"

"Bullshit. Didn't he seduce that one from the Li Household?"

"Please. He didn't spare either the Chen Household or the Li Household."

Wen Shuang: "..." The original owner had really dug himself one enormous pit.

Naturally, every word reached Xuan Zhe's ears. His expression remained steady, but a faint mockery showed in his eyes. He stepped forward and patted Wen Shuang's shoulder. "You've only got one face. Try not to lose it too often."

Wen Shuang: "..." So the biggest wolf and beast was the one behind him. No wonder he was the man who had nearly become the villain boss in the book—when he targeted someone, he went straight into hell mode!
