Chapter 024: A Great Bargain

获得主角能力的我只想过平凡生活 · 第024章 大便宜

Tang Xin also fully agreed with Wang Bo's last words.

What bullshit!

Tang Xin rubbed her temples, her head throbbing. No wonder Wang Bo had been so forward with her the first time they met, spouting nonsense about love at first sight.

Looking back now, it was all bullshit about love at first sight.

The other party simply regarded him as a swindler, wanting to make his own father suffer a loss for his cunning—to swallow the sugarcoating and then hurl the shell back.

Thinking about how she had been completely fooled in the bathroom, even giving away her body in a daze, Tang Xin really wanted to strangle her morning self to death.

You idiot, could you be any dumber?

But after the anger subsided, Tang Xin's heart grew cold, because she had absolutely no idea what to do now.

The other party didn't like her at all, let alone have any so-called love at first sight.

It was nothing but one's own wishful thinking.

She couldn't help wrapping her arms around herself, as if this could add a bit of warmth to her. "So, now you're coming clean to me, wanting to tell me that all of this was a misunderstanding."

"That's right." Wang Bo nodded.

Tang Xin's body trembled slightly; all her strength seemed to drain away in that moment, and she felt the world spinning around her. Just moments ago, she had wanted to marry this man and spend the rest of her life with him.

But now the other party coldly spat out the word "misunderstanding," wanting to attribute all of this to a misunderstanding.

"So, you want to just..."

Beep beep beep——

Just as Tang Xin was about to say the word "forget it," a loud car horn suddenly interrupted her.

Wang Bo looked out the window; a red Ferrari was parked at the entrance of the villa.

"Yazi and the others are here. Have a seat first. I'll go open the door for them."

Wang Bo pointed to a seat in the dining room, then walked out the front door to open it for Yazi.

Before long, Yazi and Chunli arrived together.

"Welcome, welcome, Yazi, and Chunli." Wang Bo opened his arms and hugged Yazi, then extended his hand toward Chunli.

Strictly speaking, this was his second meeting with Chunli.

So naturally Wang Bo would not embrace the other.

Chunli raised her hand and shook Wang Bo's hand, moving it up and down once. "Sorry to bother you, Mr. Play-for-Keeps."

Wang Bo couldn't help but feel a bit surprised. He remembered that when they first met, the three of them had chatted very congenially, but after not seeing each other for a few days, Chunli seemed to have become much more distant with him.

Especially the way Chunli looked at herself seemed somewhat profound, mixed with some ambiguous meaning.

Dimly, Wang Bo felt that Chunli seemed to be resisting him.

Was it his imagination?

He didn't seem to have done anything to make Chunli dislike him, had he? Or had his ambition to have a foot in both camps been exposed, or had his pursuit of Yazi a few days ago come to light?

Wang Bo couldn't help but turn his head to look at Yazi, who was standing to the side.

Yazi's eyes flickered, avoiding Wang Bo's gaze, and she walked into the house.

"Ah, I'm so hungry, so hungry. Is the meal ready yet? I'm about to starve to death."

Wang Bo watched Yazi's retreating figure, released Chunli's hand, and said, "Come in, Chunli, the meal is ready."

"Thank you." Chunli nodded and walked in.

Wang Bo closed the door. He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that the two women today seemed a bit off, though he couldn't quite put his finger on what exactly was strange about them.

As for Ya Zi and Chun Li, whom Wang Bo found strange, when they arrived at the dining room, they saw Tang Xin, dressed in a white dress, elegant and charming in demeanor, but with a somewhat gloomy complexion.

Naturally, Tang Xin also saw the hot-bodied Yazi and the stunning Chunli in her cheongsam.

All three of them sized each other up with puzzled looks.

Yazi's eyes flickered slightly as she kept guessing Tang Xin's identity: girlfriend, family member, or just a friend.

Chunli was also speculating about Tang Xin's identity, but the two had completely different thoughts.

A spy, an ally, or a subordinate.

Chun Li thought cautiously.

Tang Xin's face grew even more ashen and aggrieved. When she saw Chunli and Yazi, she seemed to understand that, to Wang Bo, she meant nothing at all.

The other party was surrounded by a bevy of beauties, and she was just a foolish woman who lost her bearings after being casually fooled by him for a few words.

A typical case of being well-endowed but empty-headed.

The other party simply didn't care about her at all.

“Let me introduce you all.”

Just as the three were looking at each other and the atmosphere was somewhat frozen, Wang Bo walked over, pointed at Tang Xin, and said, "This is Tang Xin, my girlfriend."

"Tang Xin, these two are Yazi and Chunli, my friends. Yazi is a Hong Kong police officer, and Chunli is an Interpol officer."

Tang Xin, whose face had been somewhat gloomy, brightened up entirely when she heard Wang Bo acknowledge with his own mouth that she was his girlfriend. The gloom on her face vanished completely.

After such a dramatic rise and fall, one is so excited they feel about to explode.

As for what followed, she didn't take in a single word.

Yazi looked at Tang Xin, whose shocked expression had turned from ashen to rosy, and then glanced at Wang Bo with suspicion. "Yesterday you didn't have a girlfriend, how did you get one so quickly?"

Wang Bo explained, "I ran into a little accident, so Tang Xin is now my girlfriend, but whether we can make it to the end still depends on the future."

"An accident? What accident?" Yazi pulled Chunli to sit opposite Tangxin and asked with great interest. She was genuinely curious to know what kind of accident had made Wang Bo get a girlfriend so quickly.

Wang Bo didn't hide anything either; he briefly recounted what had happened that morning, and finally concluded, "So from now on, Tang Xin is my girlfriend."

Yazi rubbed her temples and sighed, feeling that some things were really unreasonable.

In the past few days, her relationship with Wang Bo had been going well, seemingly entering a better phase.

After all, Wang Bo not only cooked deliciously, but was also extremely capable in a fight, with a perfect physique that surpassed any man Yazi had ever seen. More importantly, he had no bad habits and was even willing to teach her the mysterious art of Ripple Qigong.

To be honest, it's hard not to be attracted to a man like that.

Even though she had never experienced life-and-death trials, Yazi had to admit that in daily life she was indeed attracted to Wang Bo.

But unexpectedly, in just one morning, things had undergone earth-shattering changes.

First, her best friend Chunli regarded Wang Bo as a flood beast—a terrorist.

Then there was a woman who inexplicably cut in line, parachuting in to become Wang Bo's girlfriend.

Where the hell could one go to reason about this?

For a moment, the look in Ya Zi's eyes toward Tang Xin involuntarily carried a hint of hostility. This woman was lucky, having stumbled into a great bargain without knowing how.
