Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?

Chapter 307: Chapter 306: The Shadow Assassin

Seeing that Su Mu was looking at his phone and hadn’t noticed the hilarious scene with Allen, Jiang Xinxuan turned her head back as well.

Bai Wanting felt speechless about Allen’s tendency to speak out of turn sometimes.

Though it was probably just Allen showing he cared.

But this was in her native country, and Bai Wanting still felt somewhat embarrassed by it.

Several staff members, upon hearing the groom-to-be’s words, also struggled to suppress their laughter.

Foreigners will be foreigners, huh? Not knowing to avoid certain topics, how could he openly confess his love in public like that?

Luckily, everyone was young and not too conservative, finding the situation rather amusing without any other thoughts.

Thanks to Allen’s words, the atmosphere around Bai Wanting had eased quite a bit.

Everyone just laughed, not speaking.

Allen, seeing everyone’s reaction, really started to get anxious.

Had he made some cultural faux pas again?

Otherwise, why wasn’t Wanting responding to him?

Xuanxuan was laughing at him too, as were the staff members.

Although the staff members didn’t laugh out loud, their stifled expressions told Allen everything he needed to know.

They were laughing at him too.

Allen grew even more uncertain about what exactly he had said wrong.

After all, when he was abroad, Allen would always find occasion to speak a few words of affection.

So, Allen wasn’t the least bit aware that it was his overzealous enthusiasm that had caused slight embarrassment for Bai Wanting.

Mainly because Bai Wanting was shy.

"Wanting..."

Allen definitely wanted to clear up anything he didn’t understand.

"Alright, alright, I was just teasing you,"

Bai Wanting had no choice but to reveal her true intention.

She meant to steer Allen away from feeling indebted to Su Mu.

But Bai Wanting hadn’t anticipated that in trying to do so, she would end up ensnared herself.

She could only honestly confess her real purpose.

Which goes to show, one must choose the right person to joke with.

Allen clearly was not the right person for such teasing.

Especially joking with Allen in Mandarin carried certain risks.

Not just Bai Wanting, but even Su Mu was acutely aware of that now.

Su Mu had made up his mind, he would definitely not joke with Allen anymore.

Because your jokes might put Allen on "high alert".

Su Mu hadn’t noticed what was going on with Bai Wanting.

If he had, he would certainly have teased her a bit.

Didn’t Bai Wanting know all too well the level of her fiancé’s Mandarin?

And she still had the nerve to joke with Allen?

If Su Mu had been aware of all that, he would have definitely praised Bai Wanting: you’ve got some nerve.

"Joking?"

Allen was slightly unsettled.

Today was the day he and Wanting were taking their wedding photos, so why was everyone around him starting to joke with him?

It had been Su Mu before, and now it was Bai Wanting.

Allen had happily accepted Su Mu’s jest.

After all, Allen too hoped Su Mu could postpone his trip to Canada.

That way, Allen would have time to properly entertain Su Mu, and possibly repay some of the favors from today.

Of course, repaying today’s favor was hardly possible.

After all, the favor today was too significant, and Allen really couldn’t think of how he could possibly repay it all at once.

Inviting Su Mu to visit Canada and taking the opportunity to entertain him was a minor matter, and Allen knew it might only cover a fraction of today’s favor.

It hadn’t been long since Su Mu had made a joke, and now his fiancée started to tease him too.

Was today April Fool’s Day or something?

But the timing wasn’t right either.

Allen certainly knew when April Fool’s Day was.

With a stomach full of questions, he found no opportunity to properly ask his fiancée.

Allen accepted, somewhat aggrieved, the second time he’d been the butt of the joke today.

"Wanting..."

Allen didn’t know what to say, he just felt a bit wronged in his heart.

"I’ll explain when we get back,"

said Bai Wanting, who understood Allen’s feelings very well, making a promise.

Bai Wanting had actually planned to have a thorough communication with Allen after returning anyway.

Given Allen’s tendency to profess his love in public at the drop of a hat, Bai Wanting believed she should really talk to him properly.

This was China, not Canada, where certain things are better kept low-key.

Besides, if Allen were to make such a display in front of her father,

Bai Wanting figured her dad would scold Allen on the spot.

Allen’s standing within the Bai Family would certainly become even more difficult.

After hearing Bai Wanting’s assurance, Allen nodded.

Having it explained later was also good, lest he misspeak again and become the laughingstock of others.

...

"Su Mu, I really love this wedding dress, please thank Auntie for me,"

After replying to Bai Wanting, Su Mu, having nothing else to do, began scrolling through his social media feed.

Mostly, it was his classmates showing off their colorful summer vacation lives out of boredom.

But there was one social media post that caught Su Mu’s attention.

It was from Four Eyes: I like this silhouette. Within seven days, I’ll make her my girlfriend.

Then there was an emoticon of him cheering himself on.

Four Eyes actually had very good social standing.

Several comments had already appeared under his post.

"Bro, you can tell she’s the one just by her silhouette?"

"Yeah, bro, you better be careful; there’s a type of woman known as the ’silhouette assassin’, you know?"

"Exactly, you think you’re looking at a young girl from the back, but when she turns around, you might realize it’s an old lady."

"A silhouette that stirs the heart of countless men, a face that horrifies the lords from all walks of life upon turning around."

"Four Eyes, could it be your glasses have the wrong prescription? Or did you suffer some kind of shock? A mere silhouette has got you this worked up?"

Faced with everyone’s teasing, Four Eyes quickly retorted.

"Of course I’ve seen her face, I’m just afraid of making you guys jealous and stealing her away from me."

"Rest assured, she’s a pretty girl."

"When I successfully make her my girlfriend, I’ll definitely show a frontal photo of her to let you all admire my taste, which is certainly very high."

Unfortunately, most people did not believe Four Eyes’ explanation.

"Four Eyes, you think by posting a frontal photo we can start to undermine you? Do you think we are spies or something?"

"Right, the world is vast; even if you shared her full-body photo, we might not be able to find your girl, right?"

"Four Eyes, could it be you don’t actually have a frontal photo of the girl, or perhaps you’re just making excuses because you don’t have the courage to take her picture?"

"It seems so, this photo looks like it was taken secretly."

Possibly realizing that he couldn’t argue with the crowd, Four Eyes did not continue to explain and simply left three words: Wait and see.
