Old Harden, can you handle having your vision-shifting abilities on all the time?

Xu Xing left home a little later than Lin Wan.

He had nothing to do today and planned to go to the antique street to browse. Although he wasn't short of money, who wouldn't want to find a bargain?

As soon as they arrived at the parking lot and opened the car door, they heard Chen Xinyi's voice coming from behind them.

"Mr. Xu, you really have a lot of energy. When Wanwan came over just now, she was limping. You look very energetic."

Xu Xing turned around and saw Chen Xinyi leaning against the shop's door frame, grinning at him strangely.

Today she was wearing a white chiffon blouse with a white A-line skirt, her long hair was tied in a high ponytail, and she was wearing white sneakers.

She looked less alluring than yesterday, but more youthful and energetic.

Xu Xing nodded to her and asked, "Miss Chen, is there something you need?"

Chen Xinyi stepped forward and asked with a smile, "You had a great time last night, didn't you? How are you going to thank me?"

Xu Xing was speechless.

This woman is really outspoken; she dares to say anything.

However, he wasn't exactly a young man, and he naturally said, "How about I let you have some fun too?"

Chen Xinyi rolled her eyes at him and snorted, "Come on, I can enjoy myself too. Let's talk about thanking him."

Xu Xing shrugged and said, "Besides being handsome and having good stamina, I don't have any other notable skills. How about I just let you have your fun?"

"screw you!"

Chen Xinyi gave him the middle finger and said directly, no longer beating around the bush, "I have a college reunion tonight. Everyone else is in pairs or even has kids. It would be a bit awkward for me to go alone."

She paused, then added, "Mainly because my arch-nemesis from college will also be there."

That woman is jealous of my beauty and talent, and she's always trying to outdo me. I heard she recently started dating a very rich boyfriend, and she'll definitely brag about it at parties. I don't want to lose to her.

Xu Xing was a little taken aback: "You're still single? Don't you have any other men who can go with you?"

Chen Xinyi reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, instantly bristling and retorting, "Do I look that promiscuous? I've never been in a relationship!"

Xu Xing looked incredulous.

Chen Xinyi was getting a little frustrated and angrily retorted, "Believe it or not!"

Anyway, I already talked to Wanwan, and she said it's fine as long as you agree. So, what do you say, is it okay?

Xu Xing looked at her.

The woman's expression now seemed much more genuine than her alluring demeanor yesterday.

"That works, but what's in it for me?"

Chen Xinyi pouted and muttered, "A realistic man."

Then she took a dark blue velvet box from her small handbag and handed it to Xu Xing: "Here, this is for you."

Xu Xing took it and opened it.

Inside is a men's watch.

The dial is a deep blue with diamond hour markers, and the case and bracelet are made of steel. The craftsmanship is exquisite and the watch is in excellent condition.

Chen Xinyi offered to explain, "It's a Patek Philippe Nautilus. Although it's secondhand, it's in excellent condition with all the accessories. Plus, it's currently more expensive than a new one on the market. If you can help me with this, I'll give you the watch."

Xu Xing closed the watch box, raised an eyebrow, and said, "You're spending this much just to attend a class reunion?"

Chen Xinyi snorted, "You don't understand the competitive spirit between women. Just consider it helping out. It's just a meal, so just pretend to be a little more convincing."

"OK."

He put the watch directly on his wrist, and it fit surprisingly well.

"The deal is fair, and I will play the role of a good boyfriend."

Chen Xinyi's eyes lit up: "Then it's a deal! Let's go buy you your battle outfit first, then get a spa treatment and a makeover. Tonight, you have to outshine all the other men!"

Xu Xing was speechless.

Is it really appropriate to use the phrase "outshining" to describe a man?

But he was a fool not to take advantage of the opportunity, so he readily agreed.

……

In twenty minutes, Xu Xing tried on three suits.

Chen Xinyi ultimately chose a charcoal black peak lapel suit because it best suited her aura and complemented her temperament.

She paired it with matching Oxford shoes, a dark blue striped tie, and a pair of simple platinum cufflinks.

When I swiped my card, the number displayed was over 68,000.

Xu Xing raised an eyebrow and said, "Miss Chen, you're really going all out."

Chen Xinyi put the card back into her wallet and snorted, "Don't you understand investment? If you make me look good tonight, this money will have been well spent."

After buying clothes, Chen Xinyi dragged Xu Xing to a high-end men's grooming center on the top floor of the mall.

Two hours of spa treatment, facial, and hairstyling.

When Xu Xing walked out of the barbershop with his neatly styled short hair and charcoal black suit, even Chen Xinyi, who was used to seeing handsome men, was momentarily stunned.

The man in the mirror had a tall and straight figure, with straight shoulders and a perfectly proportioned waist.

The charcoal black suit fabric has a delicate sheen, and the peak lapel design adds a touch of seriousness.

The shirt collar was tied with a dark blue tie, and platinum cufflinks were faintly visible at the cuffs.

Her face glowed from the care she received, and her eyes were calm and deep, as if they could see through everything.

Coupled with the valuable nautilus on her wrist, she exuded an indescribable charm.

It's not the youthful arrogance of a young heartthrob, but rather the composure and strength that comes with the passage of time.

A thought suddenly popped into Chen Xinyi's mind: Lin Wan really got off easy last night.

But she quickly shook her head to suppress this untimely regret and put on a spirited smile.

"Come on! I'll lead you to conquer the battlefield!"

It was only because it rained a few days ago that the temperature dropped by about ten degrees to only twenty-four or twenty-five degrees; otherwise, Xu Xing really couldn't have worn this outfit.

The two drove to a private restaurant in the southern suburbs, which had a Chinese courtyard and a quiet environment.

When Chen Xinyi and Xu Xing entered the private room, there were already eight people inside.

The couple, about half men and half women, were around thirty years old, and their clothing and appearance suggested they were financially well-off.

"Xinyi is here!"

"Oh my, the beautiful Chen has finally arrived!"

"And this is... my boyfriend? Aren't you going to introduce him?"

Everyone greeted him warmly, their eyes taking in Xu Xing, and their gazes were filled with more or less amazement.

Chen Xinyi smiled broadly and introduced him generously: "My boyfriend, Xu Xing, works in antique and cultural relic restoration at Chengxinzhai."

"Chengxinzhai? That's a big company!"

"Hmm? Jiajia's boyfriend also works at Chengxinzhai, right?"

Everyone turned to look at the corner of the private room.

Sun Hao had already stood up at this moment and greeted him, "Brother Xu."

He addressed him as "Brother Xu" naturally, but the respect in his tone was evident to everyone present.

Xu Xing smiled and nodded at him: "Sun Hao, what a coincidence, and who is this?"

He looked at the woman next to Sun Hao.

The woman was about the same age as Chen Xinyi, with average looks but dressed elegantly in designer clothes and holding the latest mobile phone.

At this moment, she was looking at Xu Xing with a scrutinizing gaze and a hint of barely perceptible hostility.

Sun Hao quickly introduced, "This is my girlfriend, Wu Jiajia. Jiajia, this is Engineer Xu from our porcelain team, Brother Xu Xing."
