Chapter 13

Standing under the tree was Huang Daxian from the track and field team. Wang Bo suppressed his doubts and asked, "Huang Wen? Did you hear everything?" He couldn't quite understand why she would get involved in this matter.

Huang Wen nodded and said, "I've been reading a book here all along. It was you who barged in and didn't notice me. I heard everything you said. So, it turns out that the mysterious girl was you all along."

Huang Wen had already heard the rumors about them. She smiled and glanced at Lu Lu with interest, receiving a rather unfriendly glare in return. It seemed that Lu Lu wasn't very welcoming of her interference.

Huang Wen closed her book and stepped forward, saying, "Finding a girl to pretend to be your girlfriend will dispel the rumors. This is a good plan. If the girl has enough influence, it will be even more effective. I think I'm very suitable for this role and am willing to help."

She was a famous track and field athlete and a beauty, receiving more attention than the somewhat well-known Lu Lu. If she and Wang Bo were rumored to be dating, it would quickly overshadow the previous incident.

"Thank you then," Lu Lu's face turned serious, and she said coldly, then turned and left, leaving the rest to Wang Bo and Huang Wen to discuss. She wasn't interested in knowing the details.

Outside the grove, Liu Yan had been standing far away, watching their figures. She couldn't hear what they were saying. In the end, she didn't have the courage to step forward and intervene. Seeing Huang Wen appear and Lu Lu leave, her doubts only increased, but she ultimately did nothing and returned to the classroom.

"What are your conditions?" After Lu Lu left, Wang Bo asked, trying to understand. This kind of thing, whether true or false, would affect one's reputation. Huang Wen couldn't just help him for no reason.

"I don't have any conditions," Huang Wen smiled slyly, "You might not believe me, but it just so happens that I was looking for someone to pretend to be my boyfriend. This seems like fate. How about it? You help me, I help you, and we put on a show together?"

This explanation surprised him a bit. Thinking about her previous inexplicable friendliness, he gradually understood. It seemed she was also troubled by something and wanted to use him as a shield. Could it be because of that handsome guy in the Mercedes?

To prevent Lu Lu from being troubled by the rumors, he decided to try this plan. He nodded and said, "Alright, you help me, I help you, but our relationship is fake and can be stopped at any time."

"Once this storm passes and things are settled, I'll break up with you without you having to say anything," Huang Wen smiled, "Deal?"

"Deal!"

As soon as Wang Bo spoke, Huang Wen reached out and linked her arm with his, cooing, "Take me back to the classroom."

"Uh..." Wang Bo's arm stiffened, looking at her hand, "Is that necessary?"

"Of course it is," she said matter-of-factly, "If we want to resolve this quickly, we need to make our relationship public and let the whole school know we're a couple. We can't be hesitant. Don't be so hesitant; I don't care, so why should you?"

The girls on the track and field team were a bit different, Wang Bo thought to himself, and then he followed her instructions and took her back to Class 6.

When they appeared in front of everyone, the shock was no less than the rumors that morning. Especially for the students in Class 6 and Class 7, the two classes were close, and the true identity of the mysterious girl had already spread. When everyone thought the heroine of this story was Lu Lu, Huang Wen suddenly appeared as the second female lead, adding a dramatic twist.

Huang Wen's status was much more sensitive than Lu Lu's. As the class beauty of Class 6 and one of the three beauties of the school's track and field team, she was always the focus of attention. Moreover, she had a little-known identity: the only daughter of Huang Wanzheng, the CEO of Guangfa Real Estate. Guangfa Real Estate was the leading enterprise in Guanglin District, developing most of the high-end residential areas and commercial zones in the district, with Huang Wanzheng's personal wealth exceeding ten billion. Those who knew Huang Wen's identity were usually students with wealth or background, and they clearly understood the real gap between Huang Wen and Lu Lu.

If Wang Bo really got lucky and won Huang Wen's favor, it would be absurd to choose Lu Lu over her. Therefore, they dismissed the idea of Huang Wen being the second female lead and believed that Lu Lu was just a minor character.

Wang Bo and Huang Wen's public appearance stunned the students in Class 7. His desk partner, Qian Ning, couldn't help but ask, "Bro, are you really dating Huang Daxian?"

Wang Bo nodded reluctantly, and Qian Ning asked in shock, "What about Lu Lu? You're not dating two girls at the same time, are you?"

"Cut it out," Wang Bo scolded, "Lu Lu and I are just classmates. I just happened to save her that day. So don't spread any nonsense."

Qian Ning frowned, "This is so dramatic, I can't keep up. Bro, you've only known Huang Daxian for a few days, and now you've got her. I feel like this is a bit strange."

"Weren't you saying in the group chat that we had a one-night stand?" Wang Bo mercilessly exposed the liar, "Now you don't believe me when I say we're dating?"

"Hehe," Qian Ning laughed foolishly, "Just a joke, bro. If you really get her, I'll be happy for you. She's the class beauty of Class 6, you really have a way with girls!"

The girls around Lu Lu looked at her with strange expressions, a mix of sympathy and confusion. Everyone was secretly wondering: Could it be that Lu Lu and Wang Bo really had nothing? Was it just an accident? Or did Lu Lu get dumped, and Wang Bo is now dating Huang Wen?

With this incident, a new wave of rumors spread in the school in the afternoon: Huang Wen from the track and field team is also Wang Bo's girlfriend.

After school, Jin Xiaoli asked Liu Yan, "Yan, what's up? Are we still practicing tonight?"

"Sure," Liu Yan nodded, acting as if nothing had happened.

Jin Xiaoli was incredulous, "He's already dating Huang Wen, and you're still helping him?"

"Who you date is none of my business. Practice is practice, and business is business," Liu Yan said seriously, "I don't go back on my word. Besides, we worked hard on the composition, why waste it?"

She wouldn't let emotions affect her work, and the development of Wang Bo and Huang Wen's relationship was a bit strange. She could guess some of the hidden reasons, so this didn't affect her helping Wang Bo prepare for the cultural festival performance.

The practice was scheduled for 7 PM. After school, the three of them had to go home to eat and prepare. Wang Bo came out of the classroom and saw Huang Wen waiting outside with her schoolbag. She smiled when she saw him, acting like a girlfriend, her performance was so convincing that even Wang Bo almost believed it.

He forced a smile and greeted her, asking in a low voice, "Do we have to leave together after school?"

Huang Wen didn't care if he was willing or not, grabbing his arm and saying, "Of course, let's go. I'll take you home."

The two walked out of the school, drawing curious glances from the surrounding students. Wang Bo thought to himself: This is bad, it will eventually reach the teachers' ears and then my parents. How am I going to explain this?

Outside the school gate, the familiar Mercedes-Benz was waiting for Huang Wen. Wang Bo wanted to sit in the front, but Huang Wen forced him into the back seat.

After sitting down, Huang Wen said to the driver, "Ahu, this is my boyfriend, Wang Bo. Nice to meet you."

The handsome man called Ahu turned and nodded at Wang Bo, "Mr. Wang, nice to meet you. I'm Miss Huang's driver, you can call me Ahu."

"Hello, Ahu," Wang Bo was quite polite, thinking to himself that this handsome guy was Huang Daxian's driver. This girl really had a grand setup. What kind of background does she have?

"Uh-huh," Huang Wen nodded, "Wang Dali, if you have any trouble, you can ask Ahu for help. He's more useful than Chasi."

Wang Bo wouldn't take this seriously. He was a fake boyfriend, how could he dare to ask her driver for help? He just nodded and chuckled, but Ahu looked at him seriously, memorized his face, and took out a business card, "Mr. Wang, if you have any difficult matters, feel free to ask. It's no trouble."

Wang Bo respectfully took the card and carefully put it away, thinking it might come in handy someday.

"Ahu, let's go to Kaiden Castle," Huang Wen instructed. Kaiden Castle was the only five-star hotel in Guanglin District, and the Huang family was a major shareholder.

"Where are we going? I need to get home," Wang Bo said.

"Let's have dinner first. You refused last time, so you have to accompany me today," Huang Wen raised an eyebrow.

"But I have something at 7 PM," Wang Bo said.

"Just a meal, it won't take long," Huang Wen leaned back in her seat, "By the way, what are you doing? Not dating another girl, are you?"

She got into character quickly, acting as if she were really Wang Bo's girlfriend. Wang Bo felt a bit guilty under her questioning and turned his head, "Not a date, it's official business."

"So it really is a woman?" Huang Wen's voice rose a bit, "Official business? What official business do you have? The track and field team isn't training."

Just because I'm on the track and field team, I can't have any official business? Wang Bo thought to himself, then explained, "Cultural festival performance, I need to practice."

"Oh, I see. I'll take you there later, I promise I won't make you late," Huang Wen instantly became friendly again.

Wang Bo noticed Ahu looking at him in the rearview mirror, his heart sinking. He thought: Does Huang Wen have to continue the act in front of her driver? Who is she trying to convince?
