Chapter 404: Boyfriend for hire
"You... What?" Xiaoshi was taken aback.
Han Xichen frowned as he reclined in his chair. "I just don’t want you to bump into some hooligan who will take advantage of you. Otherwise, I will not be able to forgive myself."
Xiaoshi was just thinking of hiring an actor to pretend to be a doctor when she heard his words. Thinking of how considerate he was, her heart softened. "Thank you."
Besides, he really was the safest option. If her father did a background check, he would be more convinced about their relationship after learning that he was Xiehan’s friend.
"So, how did we meet?" She wondered aloud. If they narrated their real meeting, it would make it seem like he was taking advantage of her weakness for personal gain.
Thinking about it for a second, he frowned. "Isn’t it obvious? Xiehan introduced us. This is the most plausible situation."
"But if he asks Xiehan..." She was afraid of dragging her cousin into a mess.
"Don’t worry. He will not bother to ask if we make the act convincing. Besides, we will only mention that Xiehan introduced us casually. It has nothing to do with whether or not we developed feelings for each other." He reassured.
"Well, that’s true." She had to admit that he was better at playing mind games than she was.
Twirling a pen, he said, "Tell me where we are meeting your dad and leave the rest to me."
"Okay, I will send you the address as soon as my dad tells me." She trusted him, not that she had any other choice.
