Chapter 51: A Boyfriend’s Bold Claim

Ji Wenyan was utterly bewildered the moment he heard Bai Mengze declare him her boyfriend.

It wasn’t that he disliked the idea; it was simply incredibly sudden.

It was akin to toiling diligently for decades, believing the chairman’s position was still light-years away, only to suddenly discover he was the chairman’s long-lost child and effortlessly ascend to the role.

Such was the intricate mix of emotions swirling within Ji Wenyan at that moment.

Considering Bai Mengze’s personality, Ji Wenyan wasn’t foolish enough to take her words literally. He understood she was merely clearing the battlefield, swiftly dispatching Xuan Li and Li Zhongyi, her two immediate adversaries.

And to his mind, it was an excellent strategy.

Most importantly, once Bai Mengze had made her public announcement, he would have a legitimate reason to stay by her side!

Compared to being just friends, a boyfriend and girlfriend clearly spent far more time together.

This would significantly accelerate the improvement of Bai Mengze’s five attributes.

The time until she became a god-tier beauty would be directly shortened!

Thinking it over, it was clearly a win-win for him.

At this thought, a triumphant smile immediately spread across Ji Wenyan’s face. Then, seizing a moment when no one was paying attention, he subtly gave Bai Mengze an ‘okay’ gesture, signaling his cooperation in her act.

Bai Mengze, who had been holding her breath, instantly relaxed upon seeing that Ji Wenyan wasn’t displeased.

Li Zhongyi’s aggressive demeanor had prompted Bai Mengze to blurt out that Ji Wenyan was her boyfriend without much thought.

‘Just because he picked up that two-faced Xuan Li, he’s so smug?

Ji Wenyan is a hundred times better than him!’

However, after the words left her mouth, Bai Mengze suddenly realized she hadn’t actually asked for Ji Wenyan’s opinion before acting.

Fortunately, Ji Wenyan didn’t seem to mind.

In fact, he was actively cooperating.

This immediately bolstered Bai Mengze’s confidence. She then looked at Xuan Li and Li Zhongyi, whose faces were still etched with shock, and couldn’t help but let a subtle curve grace her lips.

Her flawless makeup, combined with that smile, was dazzling. Even the girls queuing for the competition secretly pulled out their phones to snap a few photos, captivated by her beauty.

Bai Mengze’s previously expressionless face had only made her appear aloof and beautiful. Now, with a smile, she exuded an entirely different allure.

It made people want to look again and again, wondering how anyone could be so stunning.

Xuan Li, standing opposite Bai Mengze, was profoundly shaken. He was suddenly filled with deep regret. ‘Why had I distanced myself from Bai Mengze before?!

Even if Bai Mengze went to a detention center, she’s still better than the annoying Li Zhongyi!

I like Bai Mengze, not Li Zhongyi!’

‘And this rich second-generation heir named Ji Wenyan doesn’t deserve to be Bai Mengze’s boyfriend. Only I, Xuan Li, am Bai Mengze’s best choice!’

“That’s right, you’re allowed to bring your boyfriend in, but I’m not allowed?”

Seeing the unfolding situation, Ji Wenyan deliberately took Bai Mengze’s hand in front of everyone, sporting a smug expression, his tail practically wagging to the heavens.

This very posture of a victor made Xuan Li clench his teeth even tighter.

As for Li Zhongyi, after hearing that Ji Wenyan was Bai Mengze’s boyfriend, she inexplicably felt a sudden sense of relief.

As long as Bai Mengze had a boyfriend, she wouldn’t have to worry about Xuan Li still pining for her.

Furthermore, if Bai Mengze ever tried to seduce Xuan Li in the future, she would be scorned by the entire school.

“Mengze, have you truly forgotten our past—”

“Hey, hey, my legitimate boyfriend is standing right here, so what are you muttering about? ‘Past’? If you dare to pester Zeze again, don’t blame me for being impolite! And you, since Xuan Li is your boyfriend, you’d better keep his leash tight, lest he barks everywhere. It wouldn’t be good if you ended up a widow after I beat him to death.”

Seeing that Xuan Li was about to say more, Ji Wenyan immediately cut him off without ceremony.

And the words that spewed from his mouth successfully made both Xuan Li and Li Zhongyi’s faces darken.

However, constrained by Ji Wenyan’s identity, neither of them dared to utter any harsh threats.

The more they held back, the more aggrieved they felt.
