The next day at 6 PM.

At a sales branch of the Qin Group, Wang Haoran parked a McLaren outside the sales office and sent a message to Yang Jingwan.

A moment later, Yang Jingwan, who had just finished work, rushed over without even changing out of her work clothes after seeing the message.

“Young Master Wang, I hope I didn’t keep you waiting?” she asked.

“I just got here too.”

“Why don’t you dress a bit more maturely?” Yang Jingwan observed Wang Haoran’s casual attire, surprised.

“You don’t expect me to wear a suit and tie to class, do you?” Wang Haoran replied with a chuckle.

“Hehe, that’s true. I was being silly,” Yang Jingwan said, feeling a bit embarrassed.

“But I’m curious, why do you want me to dress more maturely?” Wang Haoran asked deliberately.

“Well…” Yang Jingwan hesitated.

“Just say what you want to say.”

“Actually, it’s like this. I promised my classmates that I’d bring my husband to the reunion, so…” Yang Jingwan blushed as she spoke.

“You mean you want me to pretend to be your husband, right?” Wang Haoran smiled, thinking that the God of War would probably be furious if he knew.

“Yes.” Yang Jingwan nodded, her face turning even redder.

“So it’s just a small matter. No problem, let’s go.”

“Are we going to the reunion like this?” Yang Jingwan was taken aback.

“Of course not. Didn’t you say the reunion is at 7 PM? We still have time to prepare. Get in the car.”

Yang Jingwan got into the passenger seat of the McLaren. “Where are we going?”

“To change our outfits, of course.” With that, Wang Haoran stepped on the gas, and the McLaren shot forward, giving a strong push-back sensation.

Yang Jingwan was startled.

It was her first time in such a supercar, and she wasn’t used to it, but it felt quite thrilling.

“What brand is this supercar?” Yang Jingwan looked at the unfamiliar logo on the steering wheel and asked curiously.

She knew little about supercar brands, only recognizing the bull and the horse, and was unfamiliar with others.

“McLaren,” Wang Haoran replied.

This car belonged to Tang Bingyun. While having dinner with her last night, he casually mentioned that the car was cool. Tang Bingyun handed him the keys, telling him to drive it as he pleased.

Since he needed a car today, Wang Haoran brought the McLaren.

“McLaren?” Yang Jingwan was puzzled, feeling like she was hearing about it for the first time. She asked casually, “This car must cost a million, right?”

In her view, McLaren wasn’t as well-known as the bull and the horse, so it must be cheaper. Her understanding wasn’t wrong, but it depended on the configuration of the supercar.

“More or less,” Wang Haoran replied with a smile, not bothering to explain further.

Class reunions, where the protagonist often shows off and faces challenges, are bound to have some drama. Wang Haoran intercepted Su Lang to attend the reunion with Yang Jingwan. How could he show up in a cheap supercar?

…

Before long, they arrived at Qingling Global Mall.

Wang Haoran spent about ten minutes picking out an outfit.

With his sharp and rugged facial features, dressed in a suit and tie, Wang Haoran instantly looked much more mature.

The shopping process went smoothly, with the store staff being extremely enthusiastic. After all, he wasn’t the protagonist of some clichéd novel where the staff looked down on him, only to be proven wrong. He was a supervillain, so such events wouldn’t happen to him.

“How do I look?” Wang Haoran felt satisfied and asked Yang Jingwan.

But he didn’t get a response from her.

Turning his head, he saw Yang Jingwan staring at him, her eyes unblinking, as if she were in a trance.

[Ding, the host has stirred the heart of the female lead Yang Jingwan, gaining 200 villain points!]

Wang Haoran received a system notification and was secretly pleased.

The change brought by the increase in charm was evident. Just by dressing up, he could captivate the female lead’s heart.

“Miss Yang, are you okay?” Wang Haoran deliberately raised his voice when he saw Yang Jingwan not responding.

Yang Jingwan snapped out of it, realizing her faux pas, and felt very embarrassed, lowering her head slightly.

“How’s my outfit?” Wang Haoran repeated his question.

“Not just okay, it’s absolutely stunning.”

Yang Jingwan looked at Wang Haoran again, sincerely praising him.

With this outfit, Wang Haoran looked several years older, and they seemed quite compatible. At the class reunion, if she introduced him as her husband, her classmates wouldn’t doubt it.

Thinking this, Yang Jingwan glanced at herself in the mirror and felt a bit worried. Wang Haoran had rushed her, and she had forgotten to change out of her sales uniform. If she went like this, she would look too shabby next to Wang Haoran.

“Let’s go, let’s check out the women’s section,” Wang Haoran noticed Yang Jingwan’s change in expression and immediately suggested.

“Okay,” Yang Jingwan agreed, nodding.

They headed to the women’s section.

“This one, this one, and this one, try them all on,” Wang Haoran picked out a few beautiful dresses and suggested to Yang Jingwan.

Yang Jingwan found the dresses quite pretty and was eager to try them on. However, when she saw the frightening prices, she hesitated and said, “Maybe… I should pick something else.”

“Just try them on; you don’t have to buy them. Go ahead,” Wang Haoran encouraged.

“Alright then.”

Seeing how beautiful the dresses were, Yang Jingwan went along with Wang Haoran’s suggestion.

She tried on three dresses in total, coming out of the fitting room each time to ask for Wang Haoran’s opinion.

In the end, they both agreed that a knee-length light pink dress was the most beautiful, exuding intelligence and elegance. It had a goddess-like aura.

But when Yang Jingwan saw the price, she couldn’t afford it. The dress cost 290,000… It was too expensive. Even though she loved it, Yang Jingwan had to give it up.

Meanwhile, Wang Haoran directly swiped his card to pay.

Yang Jingwan was shocked and hurried over.

“I’m your husband now, and it’s normal for a husband to pay for his wife, right?”

Before Yang Jingwan could say anything, Wang Haoran winked at her and spoke first.

“But…”

“No buts. The dress is chosen, but it’s still a bit plain. Let’s pick some jewelry,” Wang Haoran said, not waiting for Yang Jingwan to protest, and pulled her towards another part of the mall.

Yang Jingwan tried to pull her hand away but couldn’t, so she gave up and let Wang Haoran hold her hand.

The two of them, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, walking hand in hand through the mall, attracted many envious glances.

Yang Jingwan felt a strange sense of joy in her heart. For a moment, she felt like she was in love. This feeling was beautiful and intoxicating.

[Ding, the female lead Yang Jingwan’s affection for the host has increased by 10, current total affection is 65 (developing feelings).]

[Ding, the host has influenced the plot direction, gaining 200 villain points!]
