Chapter 74: Chapter 74 Can this work?!
“Oh my, you are truly the epitome of a fair, rich, and beautiful superstar,” Wang Hao leaned back in his seat and laughed, “Not to mention anything else, in just a few days you’ve switched cars three times!”
“If you like it, I’ll give it to you,” Bai Yaning didn’t care at all as she drove and spoke, “After all, my family wouldn’t miss the money for a car.”
Ah, she’s looking for company and offering cars, not a bad deal at all…
“I’ll pass,” Wang Hao shook his head with a smile, “Why would I want your car? I have hands, I can make my own money if I want to drive.”
Bai Yaning asked again, “Really don’t want it? I wasn’t joking just now, consider it a token of gratitude for saving me.”
Am I saving people for money?
Actually, when you think about it, you’re the real victim here…
“I really don’t want it!” Wang Hao shook his head, “Saving people is what one should do, it’s not about money. I may not be a particularly good person, but at least my principles are straight! By the way, why did you come to see me? Were you really that annoyed by the reporters?”
“I only have a friend like you that I can actually talk to,” Bai Yaning shrugged helplessly with a light sigh. Although she wore sunglasses that hid her eyes, Wang Hao could still tell from her pursed lips that she was unhappy, “Recently, my agent got me a film, and the leading actor has been chasing me aggressively. The reporters have been pestering me every day, asking if I would accept his pursuit, and it has been driving me crazy. These last two days, those reporters even barged into my father’s company, asking all sorts of ridiculous questions. Usually, there are paparazzi teams all around my neighborhood, more vigilant than the police, just waiting for me to make news.”
Damn, that’s pretty brutal!
“Actually, that doesn’t sound too bad,” Wang Hao said with a playful grin, “I’ve never been pursued by paparazzi in my life…”
“Cut the crap!” Bai Yaning immediately lost her Cheerfulness when the subject came up: “You don’t understand how it feels to be cautious of being followed every time you step out the door. So tell me, know any fun places? I want to change my mood.”
Wang Hao stroked his chin, today Little Wang is in luck, unbeatable!
“Got it!” Wang Hao thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled, “If you don’t mind, I’ll take you out for some fun today!”
“Out for fun?” Bai Yaning became visibly curious upon hearing Wang Hao’s words and turned to ask, “Where are we going for fun? A bar? Should we go back to the place we were at just now?”
“What’s fun about bars?” Wang Hao shook his head, smiling, “Drinking and watching shows, maybe a pole dance or something, that’s not a good place for a young lady like you. Besides, what if someone discovers your identity? With you being so beautiful, what if someone hits on you? Can I just stand by and watch? What if a fight breaks out and someone gets hurt?”
“You’ve thought it all through,” Bai Yaning found that her mood always changed unconsciously when she chatted with Wang Hao. Her lips finally curled up slightly, and her mood improved a bit as she asked, “So where do you suggest we go?”
Wang Hao said, “Ever heard of Quchuan Square on the South Third Ring?”
Bai Yaning nodded, “Yes, I’ve heard of it. It’s like a whole street of barbecue stalls, are we going there? What kind of fun can we find there?”
“Heh heh, don’t worry about that,” Wang Hao said with a chuckle, “Stick with me and I guarantee you won’t be able to stay angry.”
“Okay, I’ll take your word for it this time!”
Strictly speaking, Quchuan Square isn’t just a street of barbecue stalls. In fact, East Half Street is where the barbecue stalls are, while West Half Street is the biggest night market in Zhonghai City.
When Wang Hao and Bai Yaning arrived there, it was a little past eight o’clock, prime time for a bustling crowd.
After all, Bai Yaning is the top-ranked female celebrity in the country, and it would be troublesome if she were recognized when she went out, so she deliberately wore a white cap, paired with sunglasses that covered most of her face and light purple fake hair. Although her figure was still very enticing, overall, she was unlikely to cause a sensation.
“Alright, tell me,” Bai Yaning looked around curiously as she had never been to this place before, “Where are we going for fun?”
“This way, this way,” Wang Hao led her to a hoop tossing booth and said, “Tell me, which one do you want?”
The stall owner was a man in his fifties who smiled as soon as he saw the young couple come over, “Ah, the young man has good taste, getting a toy for his girlfriend, that’s the best! Ten yuan for three hoops, snag as many as you can!”
“Can you do it?” Bai Yaning was clearly skeptical, “This game requires a lot of skill, doesn’t it?”
I’m lucky today, unbeatable- of course I can!
“Is there anything in the world I can’t do?” Wang Hao grinned and paid first, “Tell me, which one do you want?”
Seeing this, the old man on the side eagerly played along, “Right, right, you definitely can!” Heh, I love customers like you, otherwise, whom am I going to make money from?!
At that point, not only the three of them, but some other young people who loved being part of a lively scene gathered around once they saw someone tossing hoops, especially the men—after all, the allure of a beauty is immense, drawing attention wherever she goes!
“Hmm…” Bai Yaning didn’t care about the attention she drew and after looking for a while pointed at a white toy, “I want that one!”
“That white one, right?” Wang Hao laughed, prepared briefly, and said, “Watch closely, back in the day they used to call me Little Wang the Ring Toss Pro, with unmatched skill and a perfect record!”
The surrounding crowd jeered, “Really? That’s some big talk there!”
The old man laughed so much his eyes were mere slits—loving the kind of young folk who brag in front of their girlfriends!
“Pfft, as if I’d deceive you all,” Wang Hao flicked his wrist lightly, “Here we go!”
Then, everyone watched as the ring flew towards the white toy… Huh? Looks like it’s off mark!
At that moment, the old man’s eyes nearly closed—Heh, easy three yuan…
And then a breeze blew by, and everyone’s mouths fell open—the ring, carried by the wind, landed perfectly on the white toy!
Surrounding onlookers: “…”
Is that even possible?!
