The van drove slowly out of the village entrance along the newly built cement road in the village. The scenery outside the window also became faster and faster, turning into afterimages flashing by.

It didn't take long to reach a nearby town, but it was still more than 3 hours away from Dragon City.

Smelling the smell of low-quality leather on the van, Chen Xuanyu felt dizzy, and then said aloud: "Uncle, I want to take a nap."

"Then you go to sleep. I'll call you when you get there."

The driver in the driving seat turned his head sideways and couldn't help laughing when he saw Chen Xuanyu's listless look.

During this sleep, Chen Xuanyu slept in darkness. The cool breeze blowing in from the window brought waves of coolness to the originally stuffy van.

I don't know how long it took, but Chen Xuanyu was confused and felt that the surroundings were full of noise, and there was a strong smell of smoke that slowly penetrated into his nasal cavity, making it impossible for him to fall asleep again.

Resisting the dizziness in his brain, he slowly sat up and found that the van had parked in a busy location, and the uncle driver was sitting in the driver's seat, sucking on Red Gold Dragon, which cost 10 yuan a pack.

Seeing Chen Xuanyu sitting up, the uncle quickly put out his cigarette and said with an honest face: "Are you awake? I just got there and saw that you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't want to wake you up."

"Uncle, this is Dragon City. It looks quite prosperous." After saying this, Chen Xuanyu got out of the back seat and looked at this bustling snack street curiously.

It was 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and the bright sunshine covered the entire land. The barbecue restaurants on the snack street were in full swing, placing their tools outside, preparing to welcome the customers at night.

"Hehe, Dragon City is one of the largest cities in China, and this area is not particularly central."

The uncle also got out of the car and stretched a lot. He was really tired after driving for more than 3 hours. A gust of cold wind just happened to cheer him up.

"Ding ding ding." Before chatting with Chen Xuanyu for a long time, a cell phone ringtone rang.

"Hey, Lao Wang, are you going back to town from Dragon City? Isn't it a coincidence that I happen to be in Dragon City."

After hanging up the phone, the uncle clicked a few times on his phone, took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Chen Xuanyu, opened the trunk and took out the two suitcases.

"Kid, I still have someone to pick up. This is my business card. If you need anything, call me."

"Uncle, please be safe on the road and be careful." Chen Xuanyu set up the suitcase and waved gently.

"Okay, I'm just telling you, drive slower today."

After watching the van leave, Chen Xuanyu also stretched out greatly, and his whole body was a little numb from sleeping in the van.

After moving his body for a while, he took out his mobile phone and began to search for the address on the note.

Finding a place to stay is the most important task now.

"Ling Ruoshuang, my name makes me feel so cold."

Chen Xuanyu whispered the name on the engagement contract, a curiosity arose in his heart, and his pace became much faster.

……………………

"Huh...is this here?"

After about 20 minutes' journey and passing through two or three bustling neighborhoods, Chen Xuanyu arrived at a luxurious small manor.

The snow-white courtyard walls are covered with golden tiles, which emit bursts of golden light under the sunlight.

The gate, which is made of marble and then carved, is classic and exquisite, reflecting the low-key luxury connotation of the owner of the manor.

Looking at the luxurious manor in front of him, Chen Xuanyu let out a sigh of relief and walked forward nervously. If it was the old man's trick again this time, he would be embarrassed.

"Stop, what are you doing?"

As soon as they reached the door, two tall men in white military uniforms jumped out of the guard room, holding a black stick in their hands, which looked like electric batons.

"Hello, I am Ling Ruoshuang's fiancé. I came to see him according to my grandfather's instructions." After Chen Xuanyu said that, he took out the engagement contract from his arms and handed it over.

After one of the security guards heard what Chen Xuanyu said, he smiled disdainfully, but out of professionalism, he still accepted the engagement.

"Boy, in the past few days, 98 people have claimed to be our lady's fiancé, and you happen to be the 99th one. We have seen such engagements countless times."

After the security guard said this, he curled up the engagement contract randomly and threw it away.

The two security guards in front of him had disdainful and mocking expressions, and they almost said that Chen Xuanyu was just a bastard who wanted to join a wealthy family.

"Oh, got it."

Chen Xuanyu tried his best to restrain the anger in his heart and put the engagement contract back into his arms. Since he couldn't get in, he could only think of another way to at least get through this night first.

"If you don't stand guard, why are you laughing here?"

At this time, a cold voice came from not far away, accompanied by the crisp sound of heels hitting the ground, and then, an elegant figure appeared in front of several people.

"Hello, Miss..." The two security guards quickly stood up straight and bowed to the woman in front of them as if to please.

Chen Xuanyu only felt that since this woman arrived, the atmosphere at the scene instantly dropped to zero, and he shuddered slightly.

"who is he."

The tall woman turned sideways, her simple outfit perfectly revealed her iceberg-like temperament, and her beautiful face was completely displayed in Chen Xuanyu's eyes.

Her skin is like fat, her temperament is like ice, she is noble and elegant, and she is proud and independent.

This was Chen Xuanyu's first impression of Ling Ruoshuang. As the name suggests, maybe she was the one he was talking about.

Before the two security guards could speak, Chen Xuanyu said, "Sorry, I'm fine. I went to the wrong place."

Seeing Chen Xuanyu say this, the two security guards also thought it was okay and echoed, "Yes... Miss, that's what I meant."

"Sorry to bother you. I'll leave first." Chen Xuanyu turned around and left after saying this. He just felt that the girl in front of him was too cold, and she always showed the feeling of keeping strangers away.

Ling Ruoshuang's eyes flashed with a trace of complex emotions. She grabbed one side of Chen Xuanyu's clothes and said coldly, "Stop, you haven't answered my question yet. Who are you?"

"My name is Chen Xuanyu. You can leave now."

Chen Xuanyu adhered to the concept of trying not to cause trouble when he was outside, so he reported his name. Anyway, he wouldn't lose any hair, so he might as well use this opportunity to get away.

After hearing Chen Xuanyu's answer, Ling Ruoshuang still did not let go of the corner of her clothes, and asked coldly: "Oh, what are you doing here?"

"I..."

This question stumped Chen Xuanyu. He couldn't say that he was here to be her fiancé, and the security guard at the door had said that his engagement was fake.

Seeing that Chen Xuanyu was hesitant to speak, Ling Ruoshuang pointed the finger at the remaining two security guards and asked coldly: "If he doesn't say it, you say it."

"Miss, he is here to pretend to be your fiancé. This is the 99th one. Just let him go."

Ling Ruoshuang nodded, ignoring the security guard's words, and stretched out her smooth jade hand in front of Chen Xuanyu, as if asking for something.

Looking at the white jade hand in front of him, Chen Xuanyu spread his hands in confusion, indicating that he didn't quite understand.

"Bring out the engagement."

"Oh, just say no." Since this embarrassing thing has been known, Chen Xuanyu also plans to break the jar.

He took out the engagement from his arms and gently placed it in Ling Ruoshuang's palm, but his little finger accidentally touched her smooth back of the hand.

"Sorry."

"Hmph." Ling Ruoshuang snorted coldly, a trace of anger flashed in her beautiful eyes, and without saying anything more, she focused her attention on the engagement in her hand.

"Come in with me."
