“There’s one more thing. I want to know about your magic!”
When he heard Long Xu In’s words, Bai Chen secretly let out a sigh.
It was just as he had predicted. She wanted to ask about the magic glasses, which were connected with the magic that he lied to her about.
No matter what, Bai Chen could not tell her that he’d obtained the magic glasses and given them to her because of the Life Changing System, the system that had helped him travel back in time.
The Life Changing System was like a trump card that he would use to get rid of Wang Chengye and the Wang family.
He would never let anyone know about this, not even his own parents!
And even though he confessed about it to others, people might only think he was out of his mind.
He was the only person who could see the Life Changing System’s windows. No one else could.
Long Xu In’s glowing eyes gradually dimmed when she saw Bai Chen staying silent without uttering a word.
He did not even respond to her statement.
Seeing this, it was not hard to determine that Bai Chen seriously did not want to talk about the magic that he had.
Bai Chen did not see her facial expression. He only lowered his head to think about ways to lie about his magic to Long Xu In.
If he continued to avoid telling her anything, he was afraid that she would continue to bug him about it.
At last, an idea popped into his head. If he wanted to lie about magic, he would have to perform something that looked like a magic trick.
What Bai Chen could do right now was to use the white ring on his finger to perform.
He believed that if he used the ring and told Long Xu In to keep it a secret, she would not bug him with questions later on.
“Okay, I’m gonna tell you. But you have to keep this between us,” Bai Chen said and raised his head to look at Long Xu In’s beautiful face.
Having thought that Bai Chen would not tell her anything, Long Xu In suddenly felt anticipation. Her beautiful brown eyes shone again.
“I swear I won’t tell a soul about it!”
Bai Chen nodded and pointed his finger at the glass of lemonade he had just drunk earlier.
“Look at this glass carefully.”
Long Xu In did not say anything. Her face was filled with excitement. She quickly locked her gaze on the glass of lemonade as Bai Chen had told her to.
Bai Chen did not say anything else. He only moved his hand towards the lemonade glass while sending his thoughts to the dimension ring.
The lemonade glass suddenly disappeared. He had put it inside the dimension ring.
Long Xu In’s eyes widened in shock. She had not imagined that the lemonade glass would vanish into thin air like this.
“So, this is magic!”
After a while, she sucked in a deep breath and gave a soft exclamation. From what she had seen earlier, it was indeed magic. She thought it could not be anything else.
Although it seemed like a magic show, she was sure that it was not, because Bai Chen had not touched the lemonade glass at all when it vanished. His hand was actually one palm’s length away from the glass.
Seeing this made her confident that it was not trickery—it was really magic!
Bai Chen looked at her astonished face with satisfaction. He then put the glass back in place.
This made her both feel astounded and be in awe!
Long Xu In took many minutes to calm down. She took her eyes off the lemonade glass to look at Bai Chen.
The woman stared at him for a while, with hesitation in her heart. She was indecisive about asking Bai Chen to teach her how to use magic. She wanted to have it for herself, too.
But she was also afraid that Bai Chen would refuse.
This threw her into a dilemma. In the end, she decided not to ask for a magic lesson.
She had made the right call. Even if Long Xu In asked, Bai Chen would not be able to teach her anyway.
Because what he’d used earlier was not magic, but the dimension ring that he’d gotten from the Life Changing System.
“Don’t tell anyone, Xu In.” Bai Chen told her again to keep this just between them.
Long Xu In nodded firmly with a serious expression.
“I will never tell a soul!”
Bai Chen nodded with contentment. He believed her.
He was certain that she would not tell anyone about it. Otherwise, many problems would follow for eternity!
“Young miss, the food is ready.”
Auntie Hui walked into the room right at that moment to inform her about the food.
Long Xu In could only put this matter aside. She believed that there was still much time to talk to Bai Chen because he liked her and was trying to court her.
“Let’s eat,” Long Xu In said and got up.
Bai Chen nodded. He was actually quite hungry as well. He quickly got off the sofa.
Long Xu In then led him into the dining room.
Bai Chen could not help but be in awe of the dining room's elegance upon entering. The dining room was big and beautiful, just like the ones he had seen in movies.
He was more startled by the dishes lined up on a huge, round wooden table. There were at least ten dishes in total.
The ten dishes were also exquisite and expensive!
Bai Chen could not help but drool. He had never eaten anything so extravagant and exquisite in his life.
“Take a seat,” said Long Xu In.
“O… okay.” Bai Chen took a seat in an instant.
