Chapter 480: Chapter 490: Being This Boyfriend is Not Easy

It wasn’t long before two cars arrived in front of James Brown. The rear window rolled down, revealing Lucy Campbell’s stunning beauty, "Get in, my boyfriend."

James Brown smiled generously, got into the car and sat next to Lucy Campbell. This car was a bullet-proof, extended Mercedes-Benz, very spacious in the back and separated from the driver. The people in the back could only be seen by the driver if they opened the switch.

Lucy Campbell smiled sweetly at James Brown without saying a word, making James Brown feel a bit uneasy. He chuckled dryly and said, "Am I not quite up to standard?"

Lucy Campbell shook her head and replied, "Not that you’re not up to standard, but because you’re too much up to standard. You’re exactly the kind of person I set as my boyfriend criteria."

James Brown laughed heartily and said, "Really? Your standards are a bit too low then."

Lucy Campbell glanced at James Brown and said, "What kind of man do you think I should find then?"

"Hmm... Seems like it should be the child of an important leader, right?"

"Forget it. We don’t need to rely on marriage alliances to ensure family interests anymore. Besides, central leaders can’t engage in such things. Only those big families enjoy using marriage alliances to consolidate their status."

James Brown quickly responded, "Then it must be to find someone devastatingly handsome?"

"What use is handsome? What’s important for a man is to have masculinity. Just speaking from a genetic perspective, a strong, intelligent man is the guarantee for a better next generation. Being handsome is the least useful."

James Brown laughed softly and said, "The way you put it, I do seem to meet those standards..." He paused and looked at Lucy Campbell suspiciously, "You didn’t actually pick me, did you?"

Lucy Campbell smiled slightly and said, "What do you think?"

James Brown laughed heartily and said, "I’d say that’s impossible."

Lucy Campbell gave James Brown a look of playful annoyance. Despite her kindness towards James, he couldn’t quite grasp her feelings for him. Yet, Lucy Campbell would never say it out loud; she wanted James Brown to truly feel and understand, hoping to win his heart through actions.

The car soon stopped, and Lucy Campbell and James Brown got out. They arrived at a high-end shopping mall where all the items cost at least thousands, often tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands were quite ordinary. James Brown was familiar with this place when he was in the Capital of SSUP.

Though James Brown was quite wealthy, he wasn’t particular about clothing and had never come here to shop. Today, Lucy Campbell was obviously here to buy clothes for him.

"Haha, it’s still early. How about strolling around with me? It’s been so long since I’ve gone shopping without you." Lucy Campbell naturally hooked her arm around James Brown’s and walked straight into the mall.

No matter how much James Brown wanted to deny it, every time Lucy Campbell got close to him like this, he felt particularly accomplished. This was the top beauty in SSUP Country, the dream girl of countless men, and he could be with her like this, envying many others.

It was different between the Capital of SSUP and YODC City. In YODC City, people were often amazed by Lucy’s beauty without knowing who she was. But in the Capital, Lucy Campbell was renowned, and the people in this upscale mall were mostly rich or noble, so most of them recognized her.

Those who knew Lucy Campbell knew she had always been single, without even a boyfriend. Now she was walking intimately with a man, arm in arm, which surprised and intrigued everyone who saw them, wondering who this man was to Lucy Campbell.

But most people unconsciously thought James Brown was just a relative of Lucy Campbell since he wasn’t very handsome, dressed plainly, and seemed incompatible with Lucy Campbell. It didn’t seem likely he was her boyfriend.

Fortunately, no one came over to disturb them. In Lucy’s status, not everyone dared to come and speak with her.

Lucy Campbell shopped happily, occasionally picking and trying on clothes, getting James Brown to comment. For a beauty like Lucy Campbell, even wrapped in a burlap sack she would exude a unique charm, and here, each piece was crafted by top world designers, making Lucy look even more beautiful.

James Brown’s eyes were dazzled. Even without intentions towards Lucy Campbell, watching her showcase her beauty before him was intoxicating, unable to take his eyes off her.

Lucy Campbell was quite pleased with James Brown’s expression but didn’t hint at seduction. A woman like her wouldn’t conquer a man the same way ordinary women would.

During this time, Lucy also picked clothes for James Brown, but instead of selecting suits costing tens of thousands, she chose two casual suits for him—though even casual ones here were worth tens of thousands.

"You’re quite stingy; I thought you’d get me clothes worth tens of thousands, but in the end spent just over twenty thousand." After coming out, James Brown joked playfully with Lucy Campbell.

Lucy Campbell chuckled lightly and said, "That kind of suit doesn’t match your style. Even if I bought it, you wouldn’t wear it, so what’s the point?"

James Brown felt very relaxed with Lucy Campbell because even though she was wealthy, she was rich with taste and understood him. Deep down, Lucy really felt like a soulmate.

The time was about right, so James Brown and Lucy Campbell arrived at a club. Clubs usually gave people the impression that wealthy people come here for fun, but this club had quite a taste, situated halfway up a hill with an excellent surrounding environment. There was no distracting music, nor were there scantily clad beauties. Quiet courtyards dotted the club.

This club had similarities to the L Hotel in YODC City but was evidently more in tune and tasteful.

Lucy Campbell led James Brown to an independent courtyard at the innermost part. In the courtyard was a pavilion where three young women and a man were sitting, drinking tea. A gentle breeze wafted through the courtyard, filled with blooming flowers and fragrant scents, creating an indescribable ambiance.

"Linda, finally you’re here." Upon seeing Lucy Campbell, the group immediately came to greet her with bright smiles, while the three women were all surprised and looked at James Brown. A short-skirted, short-haired girl immediately said, "Linda, who is this?"

Lucy Campbell smiled gently and replied, "This is my boyfriend, James Brown. James, let me introduce you; this is Emily Smith, my cousin. This is Lily Fisher, and this is Daisy Davis, all my good friends."

James Brown immediately smiled politely and said, "Hello everyone, happy to meet you all."

The short-haired girl named Lily Fisher frowned slightly and said, "Linda, is this your boyfriend? I don’t recognize him. He’s not from the Capital, right?"

Lucy Campbell smiled gently and replied, "He’s from YODC City."

"YODC City? That’s like a small city. Hey, handsome, what do you do? What does your family do?"

The question seemed somewhat rude, but James Brown wasn’t fazed, having long been familiar with the temper of these second-generation officials. He smiled lightly and said, "My parents have passed away; I’m just an ordinary citizen."

"What?" The three girls exclaimed immediately, scrutinizing James Brown up and down. Indeed, he exuded no wealthy aura, meaning he really was an ordinary person.

Lily Fisher pulled Lucy Campbell aside unhappily and said, "Linda, that’s not right. I came today as a matchmaker for you, but you suddenly brought out your boyfriend, aren’t you embarrassing me?"

Lucy Campbell immediately apologized, saying, "Lily, I’m sorry, but I did say I have a boyfriend, not that you don’t believe me. If I hadn’t brought him, you’d be worried about my lifelong issue! This is the person you introduced, right?"

Lily Fisher pouted and said, "Yes, this is the man I introduced, John Weber, the most outstanding figure of this generation from the Wei Family in S Region."

John Weber was about 1.85 meters tall, having a tall and handsome appearance, looking like a super hunk. If judged solely by appearance, he did seem to match Lucy Campbell well. However, his expression didn’t look very agreeable now, though he politely said to Lucy Campbell, "Miss Johnson, I’ve long heard of your esteemed name; meeting you in person today is truly an honor."

Lucy Campbell extended her hand to shake hands with Michael Weber and smiled, "Mr. Williams, I’ve heard of your affairs in S Region. The W Family has developed well these years, and you’re undoubtedly a significant contributor. I’m happy to meet you."

Michael Weber humbly said, "Miss Campbell overpraises; compared to you, what I’ve done is really trivial."

Lily Fisher then giggled and said, "Looks like you two do have some mutual admiration, maybe there’s some potential here, oh dear! What’s-what’s his name, don’t get mad, just kidding." Lily’s words showed no respect at all, clearly disregarding James Brown.

At this moment, Michael Weber reached out to shake hands with James Brown and said, "Mr. Brown, pleased to meet you." His face wore a smile, but James Brown knew he wasn’t happy, surely viewing him as a rival.
