Capítulo 11: Chapter 11: Who Are You Really?

When the two came out, Cecile had already parked Xi Muchen's limited edition Maybach by the roadside.

"Please let go, Mr. Xi." Not far from the Xi Family's gate, Xia Wanwan resumed her polite yet detached demeanor.

"Burning bridges after crossing is not a good habit, little girl," Xi Muchen looked at her leisurely: "Besides, don't you think you're dismantling this bridge a bit too early?"

"What do you mean?"

"Although Shangguan Jinghao looks decent, he's quite the ladies' and gentlemen's man, and that's a well-known fact." Xi Muchen tilted his chin up slightly at her, confidant as ever: "Dumping me now, if Chairman Xia finds out, that might not be too good, right? Given that Wanwan, you have such high standards, I'm sure you wouldn't fancy that Shangguan Jinghao."

"If my standards are that high, it's also possible that I wouldn't fancy you, right?" Xia Wanwan said, suppressing a smile, her tone even prouder than Xi Muchen's earlier statement.

She couldn't help but find it funny—her initial impression of this man was of someone calm and reserved, but now, why did she feel it wasn't like that at all?

Look, the moment she said those words, Xi Muchen's eyes widened in disbelief.

In truth, Xi Muchen was a bit provoked by her comment: "Girl, you must be joking. How can that brat compare to me? I have money and looks, and besides, I am completely available, reserving myself for you and you alone."

He certainly didn't hold back when boasting about himself. Xia Wanwan felt she had never seen such a shameless person before.

However...

This man was definitely not as harmless as he seemed.

"Who exactly are you? I haven't seen you in S City, yet you seem to know a lot about it. Moreover, I don't know you, so why would you help me?"

"Why would a man help a woman if not for some other reason?" Xi Muchen smirked, his smile shrouded in mystery: "To correct you, it's not that you don't know me, you just don't remember me."

"I don't have you in my memory." With such an outstanding man, if she had met him, she surely wouldn't have been able to forget him.

"And I am quite certain that I haven't suffered any amnesiac event."

Therefore, she didn't know Xi Muchen. Xia Wanwan was sure of it.

Xi Muchen's attractive fingers beckoned her with a curl: "So curious? Come home with me, and I'll tell you. Besides, you've nowhere else to go right now, do you?"

...

Cecile by the car was shocked—this guy sounded like some creep who kidnapped children. Who was he?

Certainly not their excessively arrogant, bad-tempered Boss!

"Sorry, I'm not interested. Plus, I have my own place to go," Xia Wanwan flatly refused him. She walked away and began to hail a cab.

"You can't hail a cab here, you know that." In a high-end villa area, who would come here expecting to catch a cab?

However, no sooner had Xi Muchen finished speaking than a taxi stopped right in front of them.

Smack smack smack! Xi Muchen's face turned dark from the metaphorical slap.

Even Xia Wanwan was surprised; after all, it was true that taxis usually didn't pass through this area.

Xia Wanwan held back her smile and bid him farewell: "Mr. Xi, goodbye."

Goodbye? Who agreed to say goodbye?

Xi Muchen quickly grabbed the person about to get in the taxi: "If you don't come home with me, how are you going to explain to Chairman Xia? Once he finds out you're not married, do you think he'd let go of the chance to ally with the Shangguan Family through marriage?"

"Certainly not." She knew her own father best: "But you're mistaken about something, I told my father I got married, but I never said it was to you. I'm not dying to be with you."

Damn! This girl, playing tricks! She loved to do that when she was little, and how she's still championing this tactic now that she's grown?

Just now, when she mentioned marriage under those circumstances, everyone logically assumed she meant herself and him!
