Was something wrong with Huo Wenye's brain,
or had some wire gotten crossed?
It was just one night together. Did they really need to get a marriage certificate?!
Wasn't that way too exaggerated?!
While grumbling inwardly, Xie Chen reached for the car door, intending to slip away while he could.
Then a chilly voice sounded beside his ear. "If you dare run, the forum will be full of your bed photos tonight."
Xie Chen said, "...Could you please not break the law while knowing the law?"
I'm a law professor, after all.
At least leave me some dignity, will you?!
Huo Wenye pressed his lips into a smile. "I'll remember to censor them and cover the important parts."
Xie Chen said, "Fine. You win."
"Let's not get married yet. Can we date first?"
"Give each other a chance to choose?"
Huo Wenye said, "I don't need a choice."
After thinking for two seconds, he nodded as though making a great concession. "But we can date first."
Xie Chen said, "..." Th-this was him compromising?!
But why did it feel like he had somehow fallen into a trap?!
"You have class this afternoon, right? Go teach first. I'll pick you up later." The corner of Huo Wenye's mouth finally lifted into a faintly pleased curve.
Xie Chen was still a little dazed as he stepped out of the stretched Lincoln.
How did he know I had class this afternoon?!
Had he sent someone to investigate me?
Had he scoped things out in advance when he showed up at the bar that night too?
Could all of this have been premeditated?!
That couldn't be right.
He was Huo Buddha of Beijing's elite circle, someone everyone fawned over.
If he wanted to get married, heiresses and socialites would line up all the way
