Chapter 164: Chapter 167 Young Master Liu

Xiao Yi’s cool expression at this moment perfectly showcased the set of clothes that Shen Xiaoxiao had just bought for him. He looked like a cold and distant prince, and together with Shen Xiaoxiao’s aura, surprisingly, there was no sense of abruptness or mismatch. In fact, there was even a hint of him being on a higher level than Shen Xiaoxiao. Even Shen Xiaoxiao, when she glanced sideways at him, couldn’t help but feel her heart skip a beat.

Who would have thought that this little guy, when acting cool, could actually be so charming?

Shen Xiaoxiao felt a slight surprise in her heart. Then, her eyes firmly fixed on Xiao Yi, who was putting on a cold and detached look, pretending so convincingly that he didn’t even spare her a glance. She couldn’t help but pout; the little guy had some acting chops, huh.

Who is this man and woman?

The crowd, finally recovering from their shock, started to lower their heads and quietly ask the people next to them about the identity of this man and woman. These two were very unfamiliar faces to the rich second generation crowd and were rarely seen in their circles.

"Xiaoxiao, you’re here!"

Just then, a loud and surprised voice emerged from within the crowd, and a young man dressed in a white suit, exuding an arrogant and domineering presence, hurried over from behind the crowd.

Seeing the young man approach, the crowd immediately parted to create a path. Everyone’s eyes on the young man reflected a shade of respect.

"Young Master Liu, I’m really sorry. There was some traffic on the way, so I came late."

Shen Xiaoxiao looked at the young man emerging from the crowd and a smile instantly played on her lips. She seemed to unconsciously lean closer to Xiao Yi, her tone warm and friendly.

However, the young man did not respond to Shen Xiaoxiao’s enthusiastic words. As if he hadn’t heard her at all, his eyes were fixed tightly on Xiao Yi standing beside Shen Xiaoxiao, his gaze sharp as a blade. The trace of surprise that had been on his face when he stepped out from the crowd had vanished completely.

Everyone noticed the change in the young man’s expression and felt the undisguised knife-like gaze he directed at Xiao Yi. After a moment of surprise, the people at the venue quickly understood the situation.

The men who had been secretly jealous of Xiao Yi when they saw him enter with Shen Xiaoxiao now all sneered to themselves.

Pretty boy really knows no fear, daring to vie for the woman Young Master Liu has his eyes on, and having the audacity to show up so brazenly at Young Master Liu’s party—it’s practically suicidal!

The moment the man’s gaze turned toward him, Xiao Yi felt the sharpness and strong hostility emanating from it. A faint smile appeared on his face, and he looked back unwaveringly.

Their gazes met in mid-air, as if tangible energies collided, and everyone felt the tense atmosphere of swords drawn and bows bent.

Young Master Liu had not expected Xiao Yi, the pretty boy, to have the courage to meet his eyes. His brows raised, and his gaze grew even colder.

Shen Xiaoxiao hadn’t expected Xiao Yi to be so bold. She felt both happy and surprised, but also a wave of anxiety. She knew Young Master Liu’s temperament; by provoking him, Xiao Yi was definitely not making a wise move.

Just as Young Master Liu seemed on the verge of exploding, Shen Xiaoxiao hurriedly chuckled, "Young Master Liu, are you silent because you’re blaming Xiaoxiao for being late?"

"How could that be."

Upon hearing Shen Xiaoxiao’s voice, Young Master Liu’s attention snapped back, and he chuckled, though his gaze still didn’t leave Xiao Yi. With a trace of coldness, he asked, "And who might this be?"

"Young Master Liu, let me introduce you to my boyfriend, Chen Yi."

Just as Xiao Yi was about to speak, Shen Xiaoxiao had already taken the initiative to introduce him. After the introduction, she turned to Chen Yi and said, "Chen Yi, this is Liu Dongjun, Young Master Liu I’ve told you about. Young Master Liu is one of the renowned Four Young Masters of Glass City, you know."

When introducing Liu Dongjun, Shen Xiaoxiao provided a detailed introduction, mentioning all the background information about Liu Dongjun that she hadn’t had the chance to tell him before.

"Xiaoxiao, that’s not fair, you’ve revealed all my secrets, but for Brother Chen Yi, you’ve just mentioned his name!"

Liu Dongjun looked at Shen Xiaoxiao with an apparent smile.

"Young Master Liu jests, it’s not that Xiaoxiao intentionally kept it a secret; it’s just that compared to you, Chen Yi’s status is really not worth mentioning."

Shen Xiaoxiao laughed off the remark nonchalantly.

"But the person standing by your side now is him, isn’t it?"

Young Master Liu’s intense gaze bore into Shen Xiaoxiao as if he couldn’t see Xiao Yi at all, completely disregarding the fact that Xiao Yi was Shen Xiaoxiao’s current boyfriend.

Everyone who heard Young Master Liu’s words couldn’t help but be silently impressed. Young Master Liu was indeed unlike others, hitting on someone so directly and dominantly!

However, no one felt that there was anything wrong with his behavior because everyone present knew that Young Master Liu had the right to be so domineering!

While admiring Young Master Liu’s boldness, people also looked at Xiao Yi with a hint of pity.

"Young Master Liu, feelings are about fate and sensation, not about status."

Upon hearing Young Master Liu’s words, Shen Xiaoxiao’s expression changed briefly. She turned to glance at Xiao Yi and saw that his expression remained unchanged as though he hadn’t felt insulted. She then relaxed and smiled at Young Master Liu.

After she finished speaking, Shen Xiaoxiao glanced at Xiao Yi again, only to see his face still showing an indifferent expression, oblivious to everything.

Was he not catching the insinuation, or was he pretending not to hear? Or did he simply not care about other men pursuing her? Thinking about the last possibility, Shen Xiaoxiao felt a bit despondent. But it was just a momentary feeling. She then remembered that she wasn’t really his girlfriend; he was just someone she’d pulled in as a shield. Wasn’t it normal for him not to care?

Despite coming to terms with the situation, Shen Xiaoxiao still felt a bit uncomfortable. She huffed to herself. Even as a shield and acting the part, one should perform convincingly to avoid being found out. How could he be so lax? She would see how she’d deal with him later!

While her mind was racing, she gave Xiao Yi’s waist a little twist, reclaiming a bit of interest.
