C26 With My Handsome Face?

"Ye Luo's got some serious Kung Fu skills. My blind date's trained in martial arts, too. I've tried using stand-ins before, but he saw right through them and even gave me a beating. After watching Ye Luo today, I'm convinced that guy wouldn't stand a chance against him."

"But isn't that risky...?" Ann Xin was still reluctant.

"I assure you, Ye Luo won't face any danger. If he gets hurt or anything happens, I'll come to you with an apology," Ziyuan assured her earnestly. "Please, Sister Ann Xin, I'm begging you."

Clearly, Ann Xin's innocence and charming naivety left her defenseless against Ziyuan's persuasion.

"I... You should talk to Ye Luo about this. He's not mine to decide for," Ann Xin said, looking down.

"I'll definitely talk to Ye Luo, but you're the most important person to him. If you don't agree, I wouldn't even dare to ask him," Ziyuan said with a smile.

Ziyuan was cunning indeed. By saying Ann Xin was the most important person, she struck a chord. Any hint of jealousy or displeasure Ann Xin might have felt vanished instantly.

"As long as it's not for real, I can agree, but you still need to ask Ye Luo," Ann Xin said quietly.

Upon hearing this, Ziyuan turned to Ye Luo with a radiant smile. "Ye Luo, your girlfriend has given her blessing. You can't say no to me now."

Ziyuan's smile was strategic. She intentionally included Ann Xin in the conversation and asked her first in front of Ye Luo, saving her question for Ye Luo for last.

She knew that if she approached Ye Luo privately, he could easily use Ann Xin as an excuse to turn her down, possibly even upsetting Ann Xin in the process.

But by asking Ann Xin first in Ye Luo's presence, she played her cards right. Given Ann Xin's nature, she wouldn't refuse, as doing so would make her seem petty. And now that Ann Xin had agreed, if Ye Luo were to refuse, it would make him look bad.

Ye Luo watched Ziyuan, fully aware of her little schemes, having been through this life once before.

He was indifferent because he remembered from his past life that Ziyuan wasn't a villain. Besides, he genuinely wanted to take Ziyuan's offer to visit the Mu Family.

"Alright, since my dear Ann Xin doesn't mind, I can agree to do this for her sake."

Ye Luo wasn't a fool. If he appeared too eager, it might make Ann Xin uncomfortable. However, by saying he was agreeing for her sake, it would naturally make her feel much better.

"Really? That's fantastic," Ziyuan exclaimed, linking arms with Ann Xin and smiling. "Ann Xin, I'm so grateful to you. Don't worry, I'll return Ye Luo to you safe and sound."

Ann Xin looked down, biting her lip. "It's fine, you should be thanking Ye Luo, not me."

Ye Luo couldn't help but smile bitterly, realizing just how naive Ann Xin was.

"I should've known there'd be a catch to this meal. When are we supposed to go?" Ye Luo was curious about the Zi family and how they differed from the Mu Family he remembered from his previous life.

"Tonight," Ziyuan said cheerfully.

"So soon?" Both Ye Luo and Ann Xin were surprised.

"Alright, no problem. I'll go with you after classes this afternoon," Ye Luo said, preparing to stand up with Ann Xin.

"Wait a minute," Ziyuan interjected.

"What is it?"

"You can't go pretending to be my boyfriend looking like that," Ziyuan said, laughing.

"Why not?" Ye Luo was confused.

"You can't just show up at my house in those clothes. My blind date is a wealthy heir, likely to be wearing high-end brands. I can't let you be outshone," Ziyuan explained with a smile.

"What's there to worry about? With my handsome face, does attire really make a difference?"

Both Ziyuan and Ann Xin could barely contain their laughter.

"Ye Luo, you're so vain," Ann Xin chuckled.

"I call it confidence."

"Alright, we admit you're good-looking, but there's truth to the saying, 'The tailor makes the man.' If you come in casual clothes, my parents will probably be skeptical. So, I'll take you shopping for a new outfit this afternoon. Ann Xin, you should come with us," Ziyuan proposed.

"Ah? No, I'd rather not. I have to care for my mom at the hospital after my afternoon classes. Ye Luo, maybe you should take the day off and go with Ziyuan. Just be careful," Ann Xin murmured softly. The thought of her boyfriend acting as another woman's date and her accompanying them on a shopping spree was too much. Ann Xin wasn't that magnanimous.

Ye Luo couldn't help but offer a wry smile. After Ann Xin had spoken so decisively, what more could he say? Heeding her suggestion, he had Ann Xin call in a leave for him, and then he followed Ziyuan to a shopping mall near their school.

Under Ziyuan's lead, they arrived at a Gloria clothing boutique. "Miss, are you picking out clothes for your boyfriend?" the sales associate greeted them warmly. The clerks at these luxury shops were astute, quickly appraising Ziyuan's attire, which was clearly worth a small fortune. It was evident she was not one to pinch pennies.

"Yes, exactly. Could you please bring me the suit that the mannequin is wearing over there? I'd like to have it tried on," Ziyuan said with a calm smile.

Ye Luo was surprised that Ziyuan didn't correct the assumption, but he went along with it.

"Ye Luo, come over here and try this on. How's the fit?" Ziyuan called out, taking his hand and leading him toward the fitting rooms, the image of a couple deeply in love.

Ye Luo quickly changed into the suit without any fuss and stepped out of the fitting room.

"This..."

Ziyuan's eyes widened in surprise at the sight of Ye Luo in the suit.

While Ye Luo was undeniably attractive, his previous casual clothes had given him an above-average appearance. Now, in this new suit, he was absolutely stunning.

His height, around 1.78 meters, and his sharp facial features, although a bit on the slender side, added to his handsome look. But it was the touch of melancholy in his eyes that was truly captivating—a deep, azure spring that seemed to hold endless sorrow, enchanting to behold.

Ziyuan, who always considered herself to have high standards, was momentarily spellbound.

The sales associates nearby were equally astounded. Ye Luo had undergone a transformation, looking like a completely different person from just a few moments ago.

"Miss, your boyfriend is incredibly handsome. This suit seems tailor-made for him—it suits him even better than the model," one of the salespeople remarked.

While they often flattered customers to boost sales, today their praise for Ye Luo was heartfelt.

Ziyuan stepped forward and stood beside Ye Luo, one strikingly handsome and the other stunningly enchanting—a match made in heaven.

Many passersby couldn't help but stop in their tracks, some even mistaking them for models posing for a photoshoot.

"This is just... the perfect match. I'm at a loss for words," the sales associate exclaimed with enthusiasm.

"Great, we'll take this one. How much is it?" Ziyuan asked, smiling.

"Oh, the entire outfit, including the shirt, totals 27,300 yuan. Will you be paying by card?" The sales associate was thrilled, not expecting Ziyuan to make such a swift decision. On a sale of 27,000 yuan, she was in for a handsome commission.

"Wait a moment, I'll take this outfit."

Just as Ziyuan was about to pull out her bank card to pay, a discordant voice suddenly interrupted.

A stylish woman dressed in black tights and a mink coat, with sunglasses perched on her nose, walked up, accompanied by a tall, slender man. Four bodyguards in black followed them, signaling that she was someone of significance.
