Chapter 148 This is My Boyfriend (5k)

Suddenly, accompanied by a series of drum beats, the soothing music became passionate and uplifting.

The lights at the scene dimmed, with only a few spotlights focused on the stage.

Finally, the distracted attention of all the guests was drawn back.

"Everyone, let us welcome the only queen of this ball, the most dazzling heroine of the night, Ms. Ruan Qingsha."

Amid the host's excited voice, Ruan Qingsha, dressed in a gorgeous dress, slowly walked out from the backstage, and all the spotlights were instantly focused on her.

Ruan Qingsha was wearing a glittering long dress, the hem of which was dreamy and sparkling.

She had light makeup on her face, her jet-black hair was curled, and her eyes were bright as stars. She exuded endless charm when she looked around.

The swan-like slender neck, adorned with expensive jewelry, sets off the delicate collarbone and snow-white breasts.

Ruan Qingsha walked out slowly from the backstage, and every step seemed to step on the hearts of the audience. Countless men and women were deeply attracted and stared at her intently, as if time stood still at this moment.

The reason why Ruan Qingsha has such a great reputation in the provincial capital is not only because she has an ace teacher and her own unique personality, but most importantly, her beauty.

Their circle once privately ranked the appearance of people, and no matter how they ranked, Ruan Qingsha always won the first place.

The reason why a troublemaker like her has so many suitors is simply because there are too many people who like beauty.

Usually, Ruan Qingsha always goes out with a plain face and never wears any makeup. She likes to run around in an ordinary white windbreaker.

At this moment, after dressing up, her natural beauty was finally fully released.

Even Liang Jie, her love rival, had to admit that Ruan Qingsha was indeed much more beautiful than herself.

Not to mention the two suitors, Zhao Zonghan and Yue Hong, who felt like they were about to suffocate and wished they could rush to Ruan Qingsha, kneel down and swear to lick her for the rest of their lives.

Shen Cheng was also surprised by Ruan Qingsha's beauty. She was completely different from her usual self.

However, he also noticed Bai Qiuning who followed Ruan Qingsha out, and immediately remembered that he had detoxified her in the abandoned factory not long ago.

Not knowing if there is any remaining poison in her body, Shen Cheng is willing to continue helping others.

Bai Qiu Ning also noticed Shen Cheng, met his eyes, and then looked away.

Ruan Qingsha walked slowly to the stage, took the microphone from the host, faced the guests below, and smiled before she spoke.

Her beautiful smile was like Cupid's arrow, instantly striking the hearts of everyone present.

At this moment, all the guests at the party subconsciously held their breath, and all eyes were focused on Ruan Qingsha.

Both men and women were immersed in this beauty, and no one dared to speak for fear of destroying this beauty.

Even the music became soothing.

"I'm glad you all can come to my dance..."

Ruan Qingsha took the initiative to break the silence and made some polite remarks to express her gratitude.

She doesn't like this kind of social occasion, but that doesn't mean she doesn't know what to do. She is very good at speaking nice things and no one can find fault with her.

After she finished speaking, everyone applauded out of respect, and the applause was thunderous.

"As is customary, I will now invite a guest to dance with me."

Ruan Qingsha spoke as her eyes swept across the crowd.

All the men and a few women unconsciously puffed out their chests and stood on tiptoe to show their most perfect side.

Even if he was not Ruan Qingsha's suitor, he would not refuse to dance with such a beautiful goddess.

Zhao Zonghan and Yue Hong were rushing forward, dragging each other, neither of them willing to give in.

The ladies were all very curious, who would Ruan Qingsha choose as her dance partner?
According to tradition, if there is no man she likes, she may choose another woman or a relative.

Ruan Qingsha's eyes swept around and finally fell on Shen Cheng, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

The hearts of all the men present skipped a beat, and the faces of Zhao Zonghan and Yue Hong suddenly turned as ugly as if they had eaten shit.

Ruan Qingsha returned the microphone to the host, then walked towards Shen Cheng with graceful steps.

"It turns out that this dance tonight was specially prepared for you."

Wei Yiting's voice with a faint smile sounded from the side.

Shen Cheng knew that Ruan Qingsha might cause trouble tonight, but he didn't expect that what she did would be so big. She was really putting herself in trouble.

Without giving Shen Cheng a chance to escape, Ruan Qingsha had already arrived in front of him.

She first smiled and nodded to Wei Yiting, then looked at Shen Cheng and slowly stretched out her hand wearing long white gauze gloves.

"Sir, may I invite you to dance with me?"

This scene broke the hearts of countless men at the scene, especially the two poor lickers.

"With great pleasure."

Of course, Shen Cheng would not let him down at this time. He reached out and grabbed Ruan Qingsha's soft little hand, followed her into the dance floor, and began to dance to the music.

Others could have followed suit and jumped together at this time, but no one moved.

Many eyes looked back and forth between Shen Cheng, Ruan Qingsha, and Wei Yiting, guessing the relationship between these three people.

There were also many men looking at him with envy and jealousy, almost pricking Shen Cheng into a hedgehog, because he danced with the two most special women at tonight's dance party.

Shen Cheng held Ruan Qingsha's soft and boneless little hand with one hand, and held her slender waist with the other hand, subconsciously comparing her with Wei Yiting just now.

The result of the comparison is that they are equally matched.

However, since this is now Ruan Qingsha's home court, she gets one point.

Looking at her great face up close, Shen Cheng had many questions in his mind, but he was unable to ask them.

Even though he was a man who did not care much about women in his past life and this life, he could not help but be attracted to Ruan Qingsha at this moment.

"Are you familiar with Wei Yiting?"

Ruan Qingsha asked first.

Shen Cheng said honestly: "We are not very familiar with each other. We have only met twice."

"Based on my understanding of Wei Yiting, she is a very arrogant person. If she is really unfamiliar with someone, she will never communicate too much with the other party, let alone ask him to dance."

Ruan Qingsha chuckled: "Are you really not familiar with her?"

Shen Cheng heard a little emotion in Ruan Qingsha's tone, and observed her expression carefully, determining that she must be angry at this moment.

"Why are you angry? Wei Yiting just asked me to dance."

Shen Cheng looked at Ruan Qingsha in surprise: "You like me, so you get angry when other women ask me to dance?"

Ruan Qingsha rolled her eyes at him and said, "Your narcissism is really getting worse. I suggest you find time to see a doctor when you are free."

Although she said this, Ruan Qingsha knew in her heart that she was indeed angry.

Originally, when Yue Hong was secretly doing something, she had already planned that when Shen Cheng was suffering from the whirlpool of public opinion, she would stand up to save him and stage a hero saving the beauty drama.

However, this plan had not yet been implemented as it was intercepted by Wei Yiting, and she became the one who saved Shen Cheng from the whirlpool of public opinion.

Moreover, Wei Yiting's status is higher than Ruan Qingsha's, and her behavior is more convincing, which clears up the rumors about Shen Cheng in one fell swoop.

The cooked duck was taken away along with the pot before it was even out of the pot. If it were you, wouldn't you be angry?

Seeing that Ruan Qingsha refused to answer his question directly, Shen Cheng had to change the subject: "What exactly are you going to do by holding this dance party tonight?"

"It seems that you are not only narcissistic, but also have Alzheimer's disease in advance."

Ruan Qingsha was now like a man who had taken gunpowder, and she spoke with anger: "Didn't I tell you? The purpose of holding a dance party is to lure Liang Jie away from Sunshine Garden Community. Look, she has come here obediently."

"what about now?"

Shen Cheng couldn't help but ask back: "I know Liang Jie is coming to your dance party, and there's no one guarding the community, right? Who are you going to arrange to help you investigate?"

"Of course it's you."

"Then why did you ask me to come to the dance?"

"I asked you to come here for some other reason. You'll know after the dance."

Shen Cheng asked several more times, but Ruan Qingsha still kept him in suspense.

The dance music ended quickly, and when the music stopped, Shen Cheng and Ruan Qingsha also stopped.

He was about to go down, but Ruan Qingsha grabbed his sleeve and dragged him onto the stage.

She took the microphone from the host and faced the guests below. "Everyone, I know you have heard a lot of rumors about me recently, and the most important one is that I found a boyfriend somewhere else and brought him to the state capital."

Everyone's attention was drawn to Ruan Qingsha's words. Seeing her pulling Shen Cheng up and what she was saying, everyone immediately had a guess in their minds and subconsciously held their breath.

Zhao Zonghan and Yue Hong opened their eyes wide and their hearts skipped a beat.

"Now I solemnly declare here that the rumors you have heard are true."

Ruan Qingsha took Shen Cheng's hand and solemnly announced: "This is my boyfriend."

There was silence for a moment, followed by an uproar.

Everyone showed an expression of surprise that was no less than the one they had just seen when Wei Yiting invited Shen Cheng to dance.

Not to mention them, even Shen Cheng himself was shocked. He could never have guessed that Ruan Qingsha would actually play this trick.

He immediately remembered what Wei Yiting had said just now - it turns out that this dance tonight was specially prepared for you.

Shen Cheng finally realized that the main purpose of tonight's dance party was not to lure Liang Jie away from the mountain, or in other words, luring her here was just a side effect.

The main purpose of this dance party is Shen Cheng, to publicly push him to the front as Ruan Qingsha's boyfriend.

No wonder Ruan Qingsha has been keeping it a secret and refused to say anything.

After Ruan Qingsha's announcement, except for the initial uproar, the crowd became quiet.

Suddenly, applause was heard. It was Wei Yiting who was clapping.

Under her lead, the others, whether sincerely or not, all applauded to express their congratulations, and the applause was thunderous for a while.

"I disagree!"

A huge voice drowned out all the applause.

Everyone turned their heads and saw Zhao Zonghan actually jumped onto the table and loudly rejected it: "I don't agree with this relationship!"

Liang Jie's face turned completely dark, and she felt that many people around her were looking at her with amusement.

Ruan Qingsha was not angry. She intertwined her fingers with Shen Cheng's and said to Zhao Zonghan, "You are not qualified to agree or disagree, because this has nothing to do with you."

"I know."

Zhao Zonghan's eyes lit up with fighting spirit: "But I still disagree. I'm just expressing my attitude."

Just like he said before, even if Ruan Qingsha became someone else's girlfriend or even someone else's wife, he would not give up.

Yue Hong, who was standing next to him, had a dark face, looking as ugly as if his parents had died.

He originally thought that Ruan Qingsha held this dance party just to lure Liang Jie away from the community, but now he realized that he was extremely wrong.

It turns out that Ruan Qingsha's real purpose was to show off her affection and fill all the guests' mouths with a handful of expired dog food.

He had always firmly believed that Shen Cheng was just a shield that Ruan Qingsha had casually found, but now that he had been publicly announced as her boyfriend, it was different.

The difference between a socialite having a boyfriend and not having one is like the difference between an original product and a second-hand product.

No matter how open they are in private, they will definitely maintain a pure image on the surface. Once they publicly have a boyfriend, the possibility of marrying him will be completely eliminated, and it will be difficult to even find a suitable partner.

Unless Ruan Qingsha doesn't care about her own future at all, in her mind, Shen Cheng is not just a shield.

Yue Hong really wanted to join Zhao Zonghan and jump onto the table to shout his disagreement, but in the end, his reasoning stopped him from doing such a shameful thing.

He snorted coldly and walked away.

After the applause ended, the music started again and the dance continued.

But Ruan Qingsha had no intention of introducing Shen Cheng to other people.

On the one hand, among this group of guests, there was no one with whom she had a good relationship. Most of them were just casual acquaintances, so there was no need to introduce Shen Cheng to them.

On the other hand, she had already sensed a surge of anger from Shen Cheng, a feeling of being deceived, and she had to help him calm down first.

After coming down from the stage, Ruan Qingsha took Shen Cheng to an empty corner.

"Tell me what's going on."

Shen Cheng looked into Ruan Qingsha's eyes, a little weird: "My girlfriend."

He didn't mind helping Ruan Qingsha. After all, Ruan Qingsha had helped him a lot before, and he had also gained many benefits from Ruan Qingsha, but he didn't want to do it in this deceptive way.

Hearing Shen Cheng's somewhat sarcastic voice, Ruan Qingsha's heart sank slightly.

If Wei Yiting hadn't intervened, Ruan Qingsha would definitely not be as angry as she is now after rescuing Shen Cheng from the rumors.

It’s all that woman’s fault. I shouldn’t have invited her if I had known.

Ruan Qingsha did not quibble or change the subject, and whispered: "I'm sorry, I did lie to you. This dance tonight is specially for you."

Shen Cheng frowned and asked, "What's the reason?"

If the two people like each other, then Ruan Qingsha's dance party can be said to be a huge surprise.

But Shen Cheng knew very well that Ruan Qingsha did not like him.

Judging from my experience in my previous life, she has a high degree of liking for me, is not averse to physical contact, and is closer than friends, but not to the extent of liking me.

And does Shen Cheng like her? The answer is no, at most she is just a close friend whom he trusts.

For two people who don't like each other yet, then this dance is pure deception.

"You should have guessed the reason."

Ruan Qingsha looked helpless: "I have long been tired of suitors like Yue Hong and Zhao Zonghan, and I have long been impatient with the inexplicable hostility of Liang Jie and other women towards me."

Since she followed Zhao Nanxing to the provincial capital to live, Ruan Qingsha has been surrounded by many suitors because of her outstanding appearance.

Even if she has clearly rejected and opposed, and even beaten up some of the more excessive suitors, she will at most be quiet for a while, and will be refreshed like an NPC after a while.

You may even encounter shameless guys like Zhao Zonghan and gloomy guys like Yue Hong.

In addition to her suitors, Ruan Qingsha also has to endure the hostility of her suitors' suitors, such as Liang Jie.

Liang Jie is just a representative example. There are many more women who secretly hate Ruan Qingsha and will take advantage of her when they have the chance.

Living in such an environment, Ruan Qingsha didn't seem to care on the surface, but she still suffered a lot of worries and pressure in her heart. Going to Tailing City for two years was actually a relatively relaxing time for her.

It's not like she hadn't thought about finding a shield before, but the prerequisite is that the shield had to be hard enough that it couldn't be broken in one go.

And she didn't have any suitable candidate that she liked.

The appearance of Shen Cheng perfectly solved Ruan Qingsha's problem.

Firstly, he is strong enough to withstand attacks from all directions; secondly, his origin is mysterious and he has no weaknesses, so he is not afraid of being targeted.

Moreover, he also "likes" Ruan Qingsha and is willing to be a shield for her.

The most important thing is that Ruan Qingsha doesn’t dislike Shen Cheng, and even has some good feelings towards him.

Faced with such a perfect candidate, Ruan Qingsha would certainly not miss him. She had already had this idea in mind when she took Shen Cheng to the Public Security Bureau, so she planned this dance party tonight.

After listening to Ruan Qingsha's humble explanation, Shen Cheng still had a stern face.

"Why didn't you tell me beforehand?"

"If I tell you in advance, will you agree?"

"How do you know I disagree if you don't ask me? If you don't ask, it means you don't trust me at all."

Shen Cheng was still very angry: "Have you never considered me?"

It was okay for him to be Ruan Qingsha's rumored boyfriend in private to fend off suitors, but if he announced it publicly like this, he would definitely be scrutinized by everyone under a magnifying glass.

Perhaps some important figures in the provincial government, including Ruan Qingsha's teacher Zhao Nanxing, will begin to investigate Shen Cheng's background.

And his identity was not checked at all. No matter whether he was a most wanted criminal or a Star Ranger, once it was exposed, he would have no choice but to run away.

"If you are forced to run away, I can run with you."

Ruan Qingsha grabbed Shen Cheng's hand: "I was wrong. Even if I owe you a favor, please don't be angry, okay?"

It was the first time that she spoke to Shen Cheng in such a humble tone.

And it can be seen that she is not good at acting coquettishly, her expression and movements are a bit stiff.

Shen Cheng knew that getting angry now would not help, so he might as well take the opportunity to ask for some benefits: "Then you have to agree to one request of mine."

Seeing Shen Cheng agree, Ruan Qingsha breathed a sigh of relief and agreed without hesitation.
