Chu Xiao and Han Rui saw Bai Xi at almost the same time, and walked towards her, calling out, "Miss Bai!"
For a moment, everyone's attention shifted from the flowers and delicacies to Bai Xi, looking at her as if she were an alien.
"Wow, so this is the girl being pursued by two rich handsome guys!"
"She looks... very ordinary, nothing special!"
"Give me a break, even without makeup, her face is a hundred times more beautiful than yours. Even in a hoodie and casual jeans, her body proportions are a thousand times better! How dare you say that."
"Who do you think she'll choose?"
"If it were me, I'd definitely pick the one in the red suit. He's more beautiful than a woman."
"Damn, what's your taste? You actually like that type. What matters most in a man is masculinity, and clearly, the man giving flowers has more masculinity! Even though he's in a suit today, I can see his muscles subtly showing. I like that."
"Please wipe your drool, you're embarrassing! She's not being pursued by you, yet you're already picking."
"..."
Bai Xi's brows furrowed even tighter as the two "salespeople" walked up to her.
Han Rui smiled charmingly, "Miss Bai, I've prepared breakfast for you. Come and have some."
Chu Xiao, with a roguish smile, said, "Han Rui, why are you here instead of lying in the hospital? Miss Bai, I've prepared flowers for you, I hope you like them."
Bai Xi glanced at them from left to right and finally said, "Excuse me, coming through!"
With that, she continued walking forward.
She had intended to take Han Mo to the hospital to see Han Rui, but now it seemed unnecessary.
As for investigating the Han family's trial, she no longer felt it had to be through Han Rui. She could go to the Han family's old patriarch and investigate the so-called Han family trial in the name of the Dark Department, what treasures it held, and as long as it wouldn't cause a crisis for the entire country, they would not interfere.
Dealing with someone like Han Rui was truly a headache.
As soon as she spoke, the two men froze in place.
Han Rui recovered first, "Young Lady, where are you going? I can give you a ride!"
Seeing Han Rui move closer, Chu Xiao immediately followed suit, "Han Rui, your car was wrecked yesterday, and the car you're driving now is your grandfather's old jalopy. How dare you offer Miss Bai a ride? Miss Bai, don't you like my car? How about I take you on a tour of Shangyang's scenery?"
The onlookers were already shocked when they saw Bai Xi reject both men. Now, after being rejected, these two wealthy and attractive men not only weren't angry but had initiated a new round of competition. What kind of ability did this girl in a hoodie and jeans have? Had she saved the Milky Way in her past life?
As they were pondering, a man suddenly appeared, stood directly beside Bai Xi, and under everyone's gaze, took her hand.
Wearing a long black trench coat and metal-rimmed glasses, his pale eyes seemed to hold little emotion, yet they still evoked a sense of dread. "Thank you for your kind invitations, but this is my girlfriend, and I will take care of her myself. You don't need to trouble yourselves."
Bai Xi looked at Han Mo and was slightly taken aback.
This expression... was very similar to how he looked in the haunted house. It seemed this was his true emotional reaction. With this thought, she clasped Han Mo's hand, opened her fingers, and intertwined them with his. "What my boyfriend said is correct."
After speaking, she held Han Mo's hand and confidently walked out of the hotel.
Han Rui frowned, his phoenix-like eyes narrowing slightly.
Chu Xiao was stunned on the spot, unable to say anything for a long time.
The people around were completely dumbfounded.
The scene of three men vying for one woman was something they had only seen in melodramatic television dramas before.
They had thought it was a drama of two high-quality men pursuing a high-quality woman and were eager to know who would win, but they didn't expect... the girl already had a boyfriend.
So weren't these two men openly trying to steal someone else's partner?
The man who had just spoken was already quite composed, which was considered very cultured. As for this girl... what kind of earth-shattering, ghost-crying magic did she possess? To attract such high-quality handsome guys even with a boyfriend, was it some kind of witchcraft? But the girl didn't seem like she wanted to bother with these two at all.
A buzz of discussion erupted, and the comments gradually became fantastical.
Chu Xiao, hearing the unsightly remarks, finally couldn't help himself, "Someone, clear the area!"
The Chu family members quickly stepped forward, "I'm sorry, this area has been booked by our young master, please leave."
"Please leave."
"Sorry, please don't gather here."
"..."
The crowd gradually dispersed. Chu Xiao looked at Han Rui, who stood calmly, and said, "You knew Miss Bai had a boyfriend a long time ago, didn't you?"
Han Rui raised an eyebrow, a hint of a challenging smile playing on his lips, "Yes? So what? Are you perhaps going to blame me for not telling you, causing you to go to such lengths today?"
Chu Xiao felt extremely embarrassed and humiliated today, but seeing Han Rui's smile, his humiliation gradually turned into relief. After all, he wasn't the only one who lost face. He was merely uninformed, while Han Rui was the one truly trying to poach.
With this thought, he curled his lips into a sneer, "I didn't realize Mr. Han had a habit of poaching."
Han Rui smiled charmingly, "I will pursue any good project. Mr. Chu, you've never openly pursued a woman like this before. Didn't you also know Miss Bai's identity before being so eager? How are you any nobler than me?"
At these words, Chu Xiao frowned slightly.
That was true. Although he had felt a different kind of liking for Bai Xi the moment he saw her at the banquet yesterday.
But he would pursue her so formally, even so publicly, because of Bai Xi's status. A woman, if she only possessed youth and beauty, even if he liked her, he wouldn't bother to pursue her painstakingly. After all, there would always be someone younger and more beautiful, but no one could remain young and beautiful forever.
However, if a woman, in addition to her youth and beauty, also possessed status and ability, and could even help the entire family take another step forward, which man wouldn't be tempted and want to give it a shot?
"But she has a boyfriend, and they seem very happy."
Han Rui casually waved his hand and said indifferently, "So what if she has a boyfriend? I'm no worse than her boyfriend. Can't I compete fairly?"
