Arranged marriage, love blossoms; a fiercely devoted soldier dotes on her alone.

"Would you like to be my girlfriend?"

Qin Huanhuan opened her eyes wide and asked in surprise!

She couldn't even believe those words came from Xiao Zhan's mouth.

Xiao Zhan nodded: "What, you're unwilling?"

Qin Huanhuan smiled bitterly: "You are a rich young master, and I am an ordinary citizen. You are a high-ranking scion of heaven, while I am a poor student who will be unemployed after graduation. Don't try to make me happy. You have already gotten me, so there is no need for you to keep clinging to me."

Qin Huanhuan knew very well that she and Xiao Zhan were from two different worlds, and in this fast-paced era, love was like a luxury. She probably had no chance with the man in front of her. It was just that they had just gotten together and there was still some novelty. Once that novelty wore off, she would be thrown aside like an old rag.

Xiao Zhan chuckled and said, "You have so little confidence in yourself?"

at this time,

Qin Huanhuan had lost interest.

She sat up straight and pulled her dress down a little further.

After Qin Huanhuan finished doing all this, she looked up at Xiao Zhan and said, "This has nothing to do with confidence. We are not from the same world. You were born into a life of plenty, while I am struggling to pay my tuition. Even this outfit, from the inside out, is the best I have ever worn, without a doubt."

She paused for a moment and then said, "I gave you my first time, and you helped me pay for my sister's medical treatment. I promise you, you can come to me as long as I'm in the capital. Don't worry, I'm not the kind of woman who does whatever she wants."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have saved my first time for you."

Xiao Zhan raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you leaving the capital?"

Qin Huanhuan nodded and said, "After my sister finishes her surgery and her follow-up treatment, we'll go back to the countryside."

Xiao Zhan: "What kind of future can you have if you go back to the countryside?"

"As a top student from Tsinghua or Peking University, you'll have more opportunities for development if you stay in Beijing."

Qin Huanhuan said with a wry smile, "I failed to help Huang Pengfei complete his mission today and ruined his deal. He won't let me off easily. If I can't afford to offend him, can't I at least avoid him?"

"You just saw it yourself, the crazy and terrifying side of me after Yan Wenlong drugged me. I don't know what other unexpected things await me. I don't want to be played to death by others!"

Xiao Zhan raised an eyebrow and said, "Don't worry, I'll handle Huang Pengfei's matter. This matter originally had nothing to do with you."

"It's okay if you don't want to be my girlfriend, but you have to do me a favor tonight and be my temporary girlfriend."

Qin Huanhuan looked at Xiao Zhan in surprise and asked, "Your temporary girlfriend? You're surrounded by beautiful women, like Assistant Xia, who's a whole level above me in both looks and temperament."

Xiao Zhan laughed and said, "You're overthinking it. Even a rabbit doesn't eat the grass near its burrow. I'm not the kind of person who does things recklessly. To be honest, my family wants me to get engaged tonight, and the person I'm engaged to is my cousin. I have no emotional foundation with her at all, and we haven't seen each other for ten years. This is a marriage between wealthy families, and I'm most opposed to this kind of marriage."

Xiao Zhan paused and then said, "And the most important point is that this is our first time together, and I feel that we are very compatible and have a high emotional value to each other. The feeling of being completely in sync with each other makes me look forward to you, so I want you to be my girlfriend."

Qin Huanhuan thought for a moment and said, "I can temporarily play your girlfriend, but only for tonight. I don't want to get involved in the power struggles within a wealthy family, especially palace dramas like this. I don't think I'm smart enough to survive past the third episode in a palace drama."

Xiao Zhan was amused and laughed, "Alright! You can be my girlfriend tonight, okay?"

So the two of them got out of the car.

Shen Jun stepped forward respectfully and said, "Young Master, Master and Madam have already arrived. The Old Master and Uncle Yu are having tea in the tea room. They just sent someone to inform you and Miss Qin to go over together."

Xiao Zhan raised an eyebrow and asked, "Did Grandpa know we were in the car?"

Shen Jun hesitated for a moment before saying, "Young Master, this isn't a secret anymore."

At this moment, Xia Keke and Hua Ying walked over.

Hua Ying pulled Qin Huanhuan aside and asked with concern, "Did President Xiao bully you in the car?"

Qin Huanhuan smiled and said, "How about it? Isn't Xiao Zhan handsome? Let me tell you, he has eight-pack abs! Wow, it's so addictive! His drive is even more intense than in the movies. He's going to ravage me to death."

Hua Ying looked at Qin Huanhuan as if she were an idiot, reached out and touched Qin Huanhuan's forehead, muttering to herself, "You're a little hot. Did you overheat and damage your brain?"

Qin Huanhuan reached out and slapped Hua Ying's hand away, scolding, "You're the one who's out of your mind! Let me tell you, I'm perfectly normal."

"I'll also tell you, I slept with him."

Hua Ying exclaimed in surprise, "You slept with Young Master Xiao?"

"My God, it seems you've not only fried your brain, but you're also mentally unstable. You're not only suffering from delusions, but also from infatuation."

Qin Huanhuan said, "Hua Ying, can you trust me just this once? I was in complete control just now."

"It feels great to be in control of everything."

Hua Ying hardly recognized her best friend in front of her...

On the other side, Xia Keke said, "President, I have already reported the situation of Pengrun Group to the Chairman, and the Chairman wants you to go see him first."

Xiao Zhan: "Understood. Oh, Assistant Xia, I'll need your help in a bit."

Xia Keke asked curiously, "Me, cooperate with you? How?"

Xiao Zhan lowered his head and whispered a few words in Xia Keke's ear.

Xia Keke's eyes flickered a few times before she asked, "Is this alright? Will Madam be alright?"

Xiao Zhan: "Don't worry, I'll take full responsibility for everything. You won't be involved."

Xia Keke said awkwardly, "President, that's not what I meant..."

Xiao Zhan laughed and said, "Alright, let's leave it at that."

"Qin Huanhuan, come here quickly, let's go see the old man."

Qin Huanhuan responded, "Coming."

As she spoke, Qin Huanhuan strode toward Xiao Zhan with her long legs.

suddenly,

Her brow furrowed slightly.

A wave of pain swept through my entire body…

He thought to himself, "Damn it, old wounds haven't healed and new ones have appeared. I've really brought this on myself. It truly proves the saying 'pain and pleasure go hand in hand.'"

Seeing that Qin Huanhuan looked unwell, Xiao Zhan quickly asked with concern, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Qin Huanhuan's pretty face instantly turned red, and she scolded in a low voice, "It's all your fault. You never know how to be gentle with people and have no sense of chivalry."

Xiao Zhan was taken aback for a moment, then grinned and said, "So it's my fault? It seemed like you were the one bullying me in the car just now!"

Qin Huanhuan rolled her eyes and muttered, "It was you who bullied me, and you're still being stubborn."

Xia Keke stood to the side, secretly laughing.

These two are a real pair of clowns...

Xiao Zhan, holding Qin Huanhuan's hand, entered Buckingham Palace and was immediately stunned by the extravagance before him. The hall was lavishly decorated, with towering crystal chandeliers sparkling like stars. In the center of the space were exquisite dishes, delicacies, and fragrant wines; an atmosphere of opulence permeated the air, and guests came and went in a constant stream…

Although Xiao Zhan came from a wealthy family, he had served in the military for ten years and had long since distanced himself from the hustle and bustle and luxury of the city.

This was Qin Huanhuan's first time entering Buckingham Palace, but she had heard that Buckingham Palace was known as the number one money pit in the capital, with everything imaginable inside, and nothing they couldn't do.

Seeing the two of them like this, Xia Keke smiled and said, "President, it seems you've been away from Beijing for too long."

"The chairman is waiting for you over there!"
