Chapter 1613: Flower House

After the kiss, both of them stopped.

Hua Ruyu’s cheeks were flushed, as if they could drip blood at any moment, her face filled with infinite shyness.

She hadn't lied just now; this was truly her first kiss, and she had initiated it herself.

Ye Bufan reached out to wipe his kissed cheek and asked helplessly, "Tell me, why are you so eager for me to be your boyfriend? What exactly do you want to do?"

"No… no… nothing, really. I just like you, I just fell in love with you at first sight."

Hua Ruyu seemed a bit guilty, lowering her head as she spoke, not daring to look him in the eye.

"Do you think I'll believe that?"

Ye Bufan said, "I'll ask you one more time, what exactly do you want to do?"

Hua Ruyu said weakly, "Alright then, I'll tell you, but don't be angry, okay?"

"Actually, even if you don't say it, I can guess. You want to use me as a shield, right?"

Hua Ruyu's beautiful big eyes instantly widened: "How did you know?"

"I guessed," Ye Bufan said. "But I don't understand. Since you want a shield, that Young man just now was perfectly fine. Why did you insist on me?"

"He's no good!" Hua Ruyu said angrily. "My father insists on me marrying a Bangbang Country person, so I hate all Bangbang Country people. Seeing them makes me angry."

"If you don't like it, why not just tell your father clearly? Why make it so complicated?"

"Can I tell him clearly? If I could, I wouldn't be here," Hua Ruyu said, pouting. "My father doesn't listen at all. He even says it's for my own good, insisting that I marry that scoundrel."

Ye Bufan shook his head slightly. It seemed this was another marriage between a Family. These Young Misses from powerful Families, who seemed infinitely glamorous on the surface, were unable to Dominator their own futures at critical moments.

But this kind of thing was entirely their own Family matter, and he was powerless to help.

Hua Ruyu grabbed Ye Bufan's arm again: "Brother Xiaofan, please help me just this once, okay? Just say you're my boyfriend, and then my father won't force me."

"You're thinking too simply. If your father has made up his mind, it won't matter even if you have a boyfriend."

Ye Bufan was telling the truth. For an ordinary Family, this method might have some effect, but for a powerful Family, it would have no effect at all.

"How will we know if we don't try, Brother Xiaofan? Please just help me this once. I truly don't like that guy, and I certainly don't want to marry into Bangbang Country.

My father is waiting outside the airport.

When we go out later, you just need to say you're my boyfriend."

Hua Ruyu held Ye Bufan's arm, her face full of pleading.

"Alright then, I'll help you this once, but only once. After this, I won't be involved."

Out of consideration for them both being Chinese, Ye Bufan decided to help the girl this one time.

"That's great, Brother Xiaofan, thank you."

Hua Ruyu happily prepared to kiss Ye Bufan again, but he quickly dodged her.

"No more. We agreed this is just pretending. I'm selling my skills, not my body."

Hua Ruyu pouted unhappily: "Am I really that much of a loss to you when I kiss you? Others would beg for it."

"Let's go, Young Miss, let's get out of here quickly."

Ye Bufan said, walking towards the airport exit again. Hua Ruyu quickly followed behind him, and as they exited the airport, she linked her arm through his again, just like an affectionate couple.

Outside the entrance, a black stretch limousine was parked. A Middle-aged Man, about forty or fifty years old, stood by the car, his demeanor solemn, exuding a powerful Aura.

Behind him stood an old man with white hair, showing extreme respect towards the man.

"Old Zhang, has the plane arrived?"

The Middle-aged Man asked.

"It arrived a while ago, but the Young Miss hasn't come out yet," said the old man called Old Zhang. "Family Head, is it possible that the Young Miss is resisting this marriage alliance and therefore didn't come?"

"Impossible. I know that girl Ruyu. Although she's a bit mischievous sometimes, she wouldn't disobey my words."

The man's words exuded extreme confidence. He was Hua Manlou, the Family Head of the Hua Family in Jiangzhe, and also the most renowned expert in Jiangzhe, a Heaven Rank Late Stage powerhouse.

"Family Head, that seems to be the Young Miss…"

Old Zhang's words stopped abruptly halfway through, because he not only saw Hua Ruyu but also Ye Bufan beside her.

The Young Miss had come for the marriage agreement, but now she was intimately linking arms with a Young man. What this implied was self-evident.

However, he was just a butler, so it was naturally not appropriate for him to say much about such matters. Everything was to be handled by the Family Head.

Hua Manlou also noticed the unusual situation, and his expression became incredibly gloomy.

When Hua Ruyu saw her father, her body involuntarily trembled with tension, clearly very afraid, but she still braced herself and stepped forward, saying, "Father, I'm here!"

Hua Manlou's expression was as dark as water, and his sharp gaze

(Chapter not finished, please turn the page)

looked at Ye Bufan: "Who is he?"

"Father, let me introduce you. This is my boyfriend, Lin Bufan. Brother Xiaofan, this is my father."

Hua Ruyu introduced the two, but Ye Bufan merely glanced at Hua Manlou without any response.

He had no good feelings for such Family members who used their daughters' marriages as a bargaining chip, and at the same time, the other party's Family background meant nothing to him, so he naturally didn't bother to greet him.

The only reason he stood there was because of their previous agreement; otherwise, he wouldn't bother with such a person.

"Ruyu, come over here."

Hua Manlou's voice was cold and filled with anger. Although Hua Ruyu was somewhat reluctant, she eventually released Ye Bufan's arm and walked to her father's side.

"Young man, you are not worthy of my daughter. Stay away from her from now on."

Hua Manlou's sharp gaze fell on Ye Bufan again, full of threat.

"I can't help it, your daughter insisted on me being her boyfriend." Ye Bufan paused and then said, "I think when it comes to marriage, you should respect your daughter's opinion and not sacrifice her happiness for your Family's benefit."

Hua Manlou immediately became enraged: "Young man, are you trying to teach me how to do things?"

"She's your daughter. I've said all I need to say. Interpret it however you like."

Ye Bufan didn't bother to say anything more and directly turned to walk away.

"Stop right there, you insolent Young man, daring to lecture this old man."

Hua Manlou was filled with anger. He had always held himself in high regard, always having the final say, yet he never expected this callow Young man his daughter brought to dare speak to him like this.

But Ye Bufan ignored him completely, walking straight out of the airport, then getting into a taxi and driving away.

With nowhere to vent his anger, he turned to look at Hua Ruyu next to him.

"Nonsense! Is this the man you found?"

Hua Ruyu pouted and said, "What's wrong? I just like him, and I just don't like that smelly guy you talked about."

"Shut up! When did it become your turn to decide on such an important matter as marriage?!"

Hua Manlou said angrily, "I am your father! Would I ever harm you?

Look at what kind of man you found: arrogant, ignorant, impolite, simply terrible to the extreme."

Hua Ruyu lowered her head and stubbornly said, "But I just like him, and I just don't like the person you're talking about."
