Chapter 175 - Do You Think Im Handsome? (1/2)

Most students of the martial arts had excellent hearing and Fengsheng was one of them, so he overheard the conversation between Li Hongmei and Ye Xiaoxian.

Fengsheng sighed to himself. Young master, I told you your plan wouldn’t work. You not only pay for their snacks but are being mistaken for an admirer. The point is that Ye Xiaoxian isn’t interested in you at all.

Fengsheng’s face hardened when he bought the snacks. When Li Hongmei bagged the snacks up for him, she looked him up and down as if he were a rapist. This made him quite uncomfortable.

After buying the snacks, he went back to Li Chengru looking unhappy and told him what the two women had said.

Li Chengru’s face was dark with rage. “Did they really say that?”

“Yes!” Fengsheng was firmly on Li Chengru’s side. How could these two ignorant women criticize such a devastatingly handsome man?

Li Chengru couldn’t wait to argue with Ye Xiaoxian and teach her how to have an eye for beauty. Who gave her the confidence to think that he liked her? But then, he changed his mind. This may be a useful misunderstanding.

This way, they won’t know my real aim. What an excellent opportunity!

He lay on the bed after returning to the inn until a waiter delivered lunch for him. The types of dishes in this inn were so limited that Li Chengru was tired of them. He threw the carrot pieces lazily into his mouth and soon put down his chopsticks.

Fengsheng’s meal was the same as Li Chengru’s, but he was not a fussy eater. Even if he got picky about the food, Li Chengru would be even more so.

“Young master, don’t you like the dishes? I can buy some for you from outside,” Fengsheng asked as he chewed the food.

Li Chengru waved his hand and stared firmly at Fengsheng.

“Young master, why are you staring at me?” Fengsheng asked.

After a while, Li Chengru said, “I have a bold idea. Although it’s somewhat immoral, I think it’ll work well. After all, no one’s tried it before. Perhaps I can get the information I want.”

“What is it?” Fengsheng asked.

Li Chengru came just for one thing, and that was to find Xiao Baoshan’s relatives and learn of his whereabouts from them.

But actually, he had no idea how to do so. During all these past days, the only method he had figured out was to remain watchful. Now, he finally had a different plan.

Fengsheng c.o.c.ked his ears to listen.

Rather than explaining his plan directly, Li Chengru asked, “Do you think I’m handsome?”

Fengsheng studied him for quite a while.

Li Chengru grew impatient. “What are you doing? How many years have you been with me? Is this your first time seeing me?”

Fengsheng finally replied with a smile, “You look gorgeous. You’re the most handsome man, not only in the capital but the entire world. I’ve never met anyone else that is as good-looking as you. I’m not flattering you. I have evidence — The Empr…erm, your mother is also an attractive woman. You must have inherited her beauty, so you look perfect in every way.”

Involuntarily, Li Chengru brushed his imagined hair back from his forehead, though he had actually tied up his hair neatly. He asked, “What kind of lady do you think I can marry?”

“Young master, if you want to marry, any girl in this world would scramble to be your wife. But why do you ask this?” Fengsheng was confused.

Only then did Li Chengru reveal his plan. “What if I want to court Ye Xiaoxian? Of course, I won’t marry her. I just want to let her fall in love with me. During that time, she might then tell me where Xiao Baoshan is.”

“What?” Fengsheng’s mouth fell open.

“Do you mean that you’re going to sacrifice your virginity? Do you plan to sleep with her in the same bed?”

“Bah! That won’t solve anything! I told you that I just want her to love me and tell me her secrets.”

Fengsheng was still stunned. “Your sacrifice would be too great!”
