"Dad, you remember him, don’t you? Qin Yu!"
Liu Xiaoxiao naturally linked her arm with Qin Yu’s, and the two walked into the private room together.
"Qin Yu... he..."
Liu Aiguo looked puzzled and confused.
"....."
Wang Jinbo’s expression turned ugly right away.
Damn it, he hadn’t even had the chance to hold Liu Xiaoxiao’s hand, and there she was, arm in arm with another man, their closeness like they were glued together. Look at that, her fullness all squeezed and deformed!
Why couldn’t it be his arm?
"Uncle Liu, hello. Um... I’m Xiaoxiao’s boyfriend. I’ve been quite busy recently and haven’t had the chance to visit you with Xiaoxiao, which led to a misunderstanding and your attempts to set her up, sorry about that!"
Qin Yu took the initiative to "explain."
"Yeah, Dad. You didn’t even ask me if I had a boyfriend before you started matchmaking!"
Liu Xiaoxiao chimed in as well.
"He... is your boyfriend?"
Liu Aiguo stared straight at Qin Yu, his impression of him still very vivid. When his daughter was sick, someone mentioned a Qin Yu who intended to treat her with Silver Needle therapy. At first, he thought it was a fraud, so he went to his daughter’s villa to confront Qin Yu but ended up being convinced by his exquisite medical skills.
"Yes, he saved my life, is skilled in medicine, handsome, and can fight, so I’m with him now!"
Liu Xiaoxiao nodded, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
"This..."
Liu Aiguo appeared troubled; Xiaoxiao was his only daughter, and he had always doted on her excessively. Besides, Qin Yu’s external appearance and exceptional medical skills were both quite impressive.
But the problem was that Wang Jinbo wasn’t inferior either, and his job was more respectable. Unlike Qin Yu, who worked as a bodyguard, and it was likely that Wang Jinbo was better educated than him.
"Uncle Liu..."
Although Wang Jinbo, a medical doctor, was quite emotionally intelligent, he could tell Liu Aiguo was in a difficult position. He took the initiative to say, "Let us young people sort out our own issues."
"What’s there to resolve? I already have a boyfriend, so just don’t bother me anymore!"
Liu Xiaoxiao glared at Wang Jinbo and said menacingly.
"Xiaoxiao, have you married him?"
Wang Jinbo wasn’t annoyed at all and, after pushing up his golden glasses, looked at Liu Xiaoxiao and asked.
"What’s that to you?"
Liu Xiaoxiao replied irritably.
"As long as you aren’t married to him, I still have a fair chance to compete! Besides, he might not really be your boyfriend; maybe you just found someone to pose as him?"
Wang Jinbo spoke slowly.
Being a man himself, he could tell that Qin Yu’s gaze was very calm, showing none of the heat and madness characteristic of lovers in a romantic relationship.
"Ha, a pose? He is already my boyfriend; why would he need to pretend?"
Liu Xiaoxiao scoffed.
"How can you prove it?"
Wang Jinbo retorted.
"Prove..."
Liu Xiaoxiao’s eyes flickered slightly, and without hesitation, she grasped Qin Yu’s face and kissed him.
"Uh..."
Qin Yu was also taken aback because Liu Xiaoxiao didn’t just symbolically peck him on the cheek—she kissed him mouth to mouth, and there was even a small tongue that seemed eager to venture further.
Although the kissing technique was poor, the commitment was unmistakable; it was as if they were truly a couple sharing a lovers’ kiss.
"You..."
Seeing that Qin Yu’s hands hung down and his body was somewhat stiff, Wang Jinbo was even more convinced that Qin Yu was pretending.
But, seeing Liu Xiaoxiao kiss with such enthusiasm, her heart filled with both anger and annoyance. What does she mean by this, preferring to find a fake boyfriend rather than talk about having one with me?
Am I really that bad?
"Hmph, do you believe it now?"
After kissing for a good half a minute, Liu Xiaoxiao finally let go of Qin Yu. With a flirtatious face flushed with a hint of red, she turned to Wang Jinbo and asked.
Inwardly, she couldn’t help but grumble that Qin Yu was a lucky guy, landing her wealthy and beautiful best friend and even taking her first kiss.
"I don’t believe it. My specialty is studying human potential, and I’m very familiar with the human body’s structure. Based on his expression and physical reactions just now, he’s definitely an imposter!"
Wang Jinbo stated with absolute certainty.
"I’ll be damned..."
Liu Xiaoxiao was so angry she wanted to curse out loud. Glaring with her clear, distinct eyes, she said in frustration, "What, my boyfriend can’t be shy?"
"Even if it’s true, it doesn’t matter. I want fair competition; I don’t think he’s a match for me!"

Wang Jinbo, true to his PhD, still had a strong mental fortitude and quickly readjusted his mindset, speaking calmly.
"How do you figure that I’m not your match?"
Wang Jinbo’s words left Qin Yu feeling a bit displeased. This guy was looking down on him.
If he hadn’t already registered his marriage with Yan Mingyu, winning over Liu Xiaoxiao would have been a piece of cake for him.
Talk about competition, my foot!
"Let me tell you about myself first! Wang Jinbo, thirty years old, six feet tall, PhD from the University of Cambridge, head of the human potential research group, consultant for Ruihui Pharmaceutical Company, and an annual salary of ten million US dollars! And you, what do you do, and what’s your annual salary?"
Wang Jinbo pushed his gold-rimmed glasses up his nose and looked at Qin Yu with a face full of pride.
"Me? I work as a bodyguard, and as for my annual salary... I’m afraid it might scare you if I tell you!"
Qin Yu shrugged.
Indeed, his salary wasn’t as high as that of this returned scholar, but he owned fifty percent of Yan Mingyu’s new project, with nearly ten billion invested. If it turned a profit, reaching a few small targets in a year wouldn’t be a problem.
"Oh, I’m someone with a lot of courage! Go on, scare me!"
Wang Jinbo hooked the corner of his mouth, convinced that Qin Yu was just posturing.
"Just search on your phone. Look up the shareholder percentages for the Huayang City development project!"
Qin Yu said indifferently.
The new project had already started, naturally it would be filed with the government, and such information was searchable.
"Is that... so?"
Wang Jinbo’s voice stretched out sarcastically as he pulled out his phone and began to search.
Huayang City...
Total investment of 11 billion, Yan Mingyu holds 50%, Qin Yu holds 50%...
And there were photos of the two attached.
"You have that much money?"
Wang Jinbo had a hard time believing his eyes; owning 50% meant Qin Yu was worth at least 50 billion!
This was pretty awkward!
"Heh, now does your ten million US dollar salary still sound high?"
Qin Yu asked with a smile.
"Humph, so what if it is? Once my project is successful, it’ll be worth tens of billions too. Besides, I have a PhD in medicine, and my research can benefit humanity. You, at best, are just a land-holding tycoon!"
Wang Jinbo was still full of disbelief and even sneered, suggesting that Qin Yu lacked education.
"Dong dong...."
At that moment, hurried footsteps came down the hallway. A waiter arrived at the door, announcing loudly, "I’m sorry, but our hotel is about to close. There’s been a sudden poisoning incident with a guest downstairs, and the health department needs to seal off the scene!"
"Poisoning?"
Liu Aiguo glanced at Wang Jinbo and stood up, saying, "Let’s go see what’s happening. He’s a medical PhD; he might be able to help you out!" Stay updated via freewebnovel
