Chapter 6709
My Boyfriend is a High-Level Executive
Wang Sha's voice was sharp and smug: "Let me introduce you, this is my boyfriend, Li Gang, a senior executive at Jianming Group. Jianming Group is a well-known name in the field of weaponry, and he is in charge of weaponry research at Jianming Group. He's really impressive."
"Moreover, his annual salary is all in spirit stones, which is something that ordinary people can't compare to."
"With your poverty, you couldn't earn as many spirit stones as him in a year, even if you worked yourself to death your whole life!"
"With him, what top-tier weapon can't I get? If I want it, he can get me those limited edition and collector's edition weapons."
"Unlike some people who can only stand here and look longingly at the good things in the shop window, and then have to leave in a sorry state, it's both pathetic and laughable."
Xiao Chen stood aside the whole time, observing everything with a cold eye, his eyes filled with disdain and indifference.
At this moment, he could no longer bear to listen to Wang Sha's arrogant and disrespectful words. A mocking sneer curled at the corner of his lips, a smile full of contempt:
"What kind of lousy executive is he? His tone is more arrogant than the prescriptions I've written. He's like a frog in a well, ignorant of his own limitations. He thinks he can act tough just because he has some power and money? He doesn't even know his own worth."
Wang Sha then turned her gaze to Xiao Chen. She first looked him up and down, her eyes full of disdain, as if she were looking at a pile of garbage.
She scoffed, her voice full of mockery: "Oh, I almost forgot about you, you poor wretch. Tell me, where do you work? You're not dismantling scrap weapons at a junkyard, are you? That place is filthy and smelly, it would suit you quite well."
"Oh, right, we have half a bottle of drink in the car. Do you want it? Consider it charity to a beggar, so you won't be all pitiful here."
After saying that, she and the bald man hugged each other tightly and burst into a shrill laugh. The laugh was sharp and piercing, like countless steel needles stabbing into Yun Yuyan's heart, causing her heart to ache in waves.
Xiao Chen remained calm and unaffected by Wang Sha's words. He crossed his arms, his eyes calm and firm, and said lightly, "I am a miracle doctor who can cure all diseases and bring the dead back to life."
"In my hands, I have easily cured countless difficult and complicated diseases, and I have pulled countless people back from the brink of death."
"I have met more high-ranking officials, wealthy people and celebrities than you have met in your entire life."
“They all treat me with utmost respect, unlike you, who's jumping around like a clown.”
Upon hearing this, the store fell into an eerie silence, as if frozen in place. Everyone was stunned, the air seemed to freeze, and time seemed to stand still.
Everyone's face was filled with astonishment and surprise, their mouths slightly open, their eyes filled with disbelief, as if they couldn't believe their ears.
Immediately afterwards, someone let out a sneer, which was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly creating ripples and bursting into a deafening roar of laughter.
The laughter rose and fell, filled with mockery and disdain, as if it wanted to overturn the small shop.
"Yun Yuyan, your boyfriend is really funny. A miracle doctor? Can you cure his boasting habit?"
Wang Sha laughed so hard she almost fell over, clutching her stomach with both hands, tears streaming down her face, looking as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world.
She pointed at Xiao Chen with a contemptuous look on her face, "I think you two poor bastards should stop making a fool of yourselves here and get out of here! Don't get in our way and ruin our shopping mood! Don't you even know your own worth, yet you dare to spout nonsense here."
Yun Yuyan was both anxious and angry, her cheeks flushed red, like a ripe apple.
She rolled her eyes at Xiao Chen helplessly, her gaze filled with both reproach and despair, as if to say, "How could you say such a thing? Isn't this just humiliating yourself?" She lowered her voice, her tone trembling with tears, and said, "Don't say things like that again, no one will believe you. Let's go quickly, every second we stay here is torture. Look at the way people around us are looking at us, like we're two clowns. I really can't take it anymore."
"Let's hurry up and leave this inner armor behind, don't buy it..."
Yun Yuyan's voice trembled noticeably, and her body trembled slightly, as if a gust of wind could blow her over.
She gripped Xiao Chen's sleeve tightly, as if it were a lifeline. Her fingertips turned slightly white from the excessive force, and her knuckles turned bluish-white.
Her eyes were filled with panic and unease, like a frightened fawn lost in the dark.
Under the bright lights of the store, fine beads of sweat even appeared on her forehead, sliding down her cheeks and wetting her collar.
Xiao Chen, however, remained rooted to the spot, completely unmoved.
He slowly turned around, his gaze sharp and fixed on Yun Yuyan. Her anxious expression was clearly reflected in his dark eyes, as if he wanted to see right through her.
That gaze was deep and unwavering, as if it held endless secrets and power.
"You really want to see me wear this 'Thunder' inner armor?"
His voice was deep and powerful, carrying an undeniable firmness, each word like a shout from the depths of his heart, "Actually, this thing is useless to me. With my strength, it's no different from ordinary clothes."
"In my eyes, it's nothing but a flashy but impractical thing, not worth all the grievances you've suffered here for."
Yun Yuyan's heart skipped a beat, as if she had been struck by an invisible lightning bolt.
Looking at Xiao Chen's serious and earnest appearance, his tightly pursed lips and resolute eyes made her feel a sense of unfamiliarity she had never experienced before.
A strong sense of unease surged into her heart like a tidal wave, a feeling as suffocating and oppressive as the calm before a storm, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.
She swallowed unconsciously, her throat so dry it felt like it was on fire, her voice weak and trembling slightly: "You...you mustn't be impulsive. We don't have that much money. If the card transaction fails, I don't even want to think about what will happen."
At this moment, her mind was filled with the consequences of the card swipe failing. She imagined the strange looks from the people around her, Wang Sha's mocking laughter, and the embarrassment and awkwardness of being pointed at and talked about by everyone. Her body trembled slightly involuntarily.
However, before she could finish speaking, Xiao Chen had already strode towards the cashier.
His steps were steady and powerful, each step seeming to tread on Yun Yuyan's heart, making her heart beat faster involuntarily.
His back was ramrod straight, like an unshakeable mountain, carrying an unquestionable determination.
He carefully pulled out a card with a cold, gleaming light from the inner pocket of the worn wallet.
The card looked somewhat old, with even some wear on the edges, but under the light, it faintly exuded a mysterious aura. (End of Chapter)
