Chapter 3: Xu Hao Doesn’t Play by the Rules! The School Beauty is Stunned:
A minute ago…
A sleek and elegant Porsche pulled up in front of a restaurant. A bodyguard stepped out, opened the door, and Xu Hao emerged. It was lunchtime, and the street was bustling with people coming and going.
The sight of the high-end luxury car immediately drew attention. Adding to the suspense, the bodyguard respectfully opening the door had onlookers wondering, “Who could this be?”
Soon, Xu Hao stepped out of the car. He was tall, with strikingly handsome features and eyes as deep as the night sky. His natural charisma was undeniable.
He exuded a charm that made every man around him feel inferior, while the women couldn’t help but blush with admiration. Though the effect wasn’t exaggerated, it was close enough. Xu Hao’s presence was captivating.
This restaurant was one of his old favorites—perfect for reliving the life of a wealthy and attractive man.
As Xu Hao casually glanced at the crowd, he suddenly stopped. He spotted two people nearby, and unlike the rest, they seemed to have a golden aura around them—signs of those blessed with good fortune. His gaze lingered on them.
Then, the flashing neon sign of “Donglaishun” behind them clicked something in his mind.
“This is the scene where the female lead pretends to look for a fake boyfriend.” Xu Hao thought with a smirk.
In this novel, the protagonist, Lin Feng, ends up posing as the boyfriend of the campus belle, Xia Mengyao. He won her favor while embarrassing those around him.
Xu Hao chuckled and walked toward them. Now that fate had brought him here, he wasn’t going to shy away from getting involved.
“Wow, what a handsome guy!”
“Look at him—he’s even more stunning than my idol!”
“He’s way better than any celebrity!”
Xia Mengyao, already feeling anxious due to her upcoming meeting and Lin Feng’s presence, heard the awestruck whispers from the women around her. She turned to look and saw Xu Hao approaching.
He was over 1.8 meters tall, dressed in a perfectly tailored suit, and his features were more refined than Lin Feng’s.
Lin Feng also noticed Xu Hao, whose demeanor and appearance made him feel uneasy.
“Mengyao, I’ve kept you waiting. Let’s go.” Xu Hao said with a calm smile.
Before Xia Mengyao could react, Xu Hao gently put his arm around her waist and led her toward the entrance of “Donglaishun.”
His movements were smooth and casual, as though they were a couple. The crowd watched in stunned silence.
Soon, envy filled their faces. They envied Xu Hao for being so attractive and Xia Mengyao for having such a handsome boyfriend.
On the other hand, Lin Feng was left heartbroken, unable to believe that such a beautiful girl already had a man by her side.
But Xia Mengyao herself was completely caught off guard.
What just happened?
Who was this man?
How could he just grab her waist like that?
She didn’t even know him!
Feeling the warmth of his hand around her waist, she was too shocked to react. She, who had never been this close to a man, found herself following him inside without resistance.
It wasn’t until they passed through the entrance, where the staff greeted them respectfully, that Xia Mengyao snapped back to her senses.
Panicked, she struggled to break free.
“Who are you? I don’t know you!”
But her strength was no match for Xu Hao’s, especially after he had enhanced his physical fitness. His grip was firm, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t shake him off. Desperation rising, Xia Mengyao was about to call for help when Xu Hao leaned in, his smile gentle.
“Shh—” He put his finger to his lips.
He leaned closer to her, the subtle fragrance of her perfume filling his senses. Her scent was captivating.
Taking a deep breath, Xu Hao whispered softly in her ear, “Xia Mengyao, weren’t you looking for someone to pretend to be your boyfriend? What do you think of me?”
His deep, magnetic voice sent a shiver through her, and Xia Mengyao froze in place. She could barely speak, shocked by his words.
How did he know she was looking for a fake boyfriend? And how did he know her name?
Who was this man?
Fear mixed with confusion as she stammered, “Who… who are you?”
[Ding… You’ve gained Xia Mengyao’s fear value +666…]
“Hehe… Let me introduce myself properly. My name is Xu Hao, and from now on, I’ll be your boyfriend.” Xu Hao chuckled, gently pinching her cheek in a playful manner.
To an outsider, it was a display of affection. But Xia Mengyao’s heart sank. Fear spread over her as her body turned cold, too frightened to move.
In the upper class of society, Xu Hao’s reputation was well-known. He was considered untouchable. Anyone who dared to offend him would face the wrath of the powerful Xu family. Xia Mengyao’s family wasn’t without status, so she knew exactly who Xu Hao was.
She wanted to resist, but fear of bringing trouble to her family held her back.
“Young Master Xu… Can you please let me go?” Her voice trembled, on the verge of tears.
She had no idea why this man had approached her.
Could it be that he was interested in her?
The thought only deepened her fear.
To be honest, Xu Hao was beyond ideal in every way—handsome, wealthy, and influential. He would be the perfect boyfriend. But his notorious playboy reputation and his previous words filled her with disgust and dread.
Little did she know, everything Xu Hao was doing was intentional. Ever since he became aware of his system’s powers, he had no intention of peacefully coexisting with the protagonists in this world, and that included the female lead.
With his background, charm, and a few lines he remembered from his previous life, he figured it wouldn’t be hard to win over a few female protagonists as wives. But Xu Hao didn’t care for that.
If the female lead simply obeyed him, how could he gather negative emotion points? Besides—
He was the villain.
Why play the hero and win her affection when he could easily dominate her with his status?
