67: Chapter 67 Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot

In the blink of an eye, the sun began to set. Chu Ge put on the evening suit Nazha had prepared for him and waited quietly in the living room.

The moment Dilireba Nazha emerged after changing her clothes, Chu Ge felt as if time had stood still.

She was wearing a white evening gown that looked surprisingly like a wedding dress. The pristine white dress highlighted Dilireba Nazha's crystalline radiance, and with the crystal crown on her head, she looked like a little princess.

Shyly, she walked up and took Chu Ge's arm. The two left the villa and boarded Nazha's RV, with Captain Gong and his men following at a distance as they sped toward the concert.

The concert in Magic City was held at an open-air music square in one of the city's famous parks, which was quite well-known in the music scene.

By the time Chu Ge arrived, the place was packed to the point of being impenetrable. Looking from afar, all sorts of luxury cars were gathered, filled with handsome men and beautiful women—it was incredibly lively.

Concerts are naturally a world for young people, and with internet traffic being paramount, many people from all over the country came to admire the event.

At this time, wealthy scions spared no expense, throwing money around just to snag those few good seats, all to get a close-up look at their favorite domestic and international stars.

Among these wealthy heirs was Cao Bo, Young Master Cao, a famous patron in Magic City who often spent lavishly on those he favored.

Though he liked to play, he still took family matters seriously. So, this time, he planned to do something big—taking advantage of this occasion to stage a live-streamed "proposal of the century."

As for Dilireba Nazha's statements about having a boyfriend, he never took them to heart; they were just childish games between a man and a woman. He didn't even care about Nazha's past or future—the alliance of two powerful families was the ultimate goal of this marriage.

And as for that someone named Chu Ge, perhaps he had already almost forgotten him.

However, he would soon remember him clearly again, because a few minutes later, he saw the image of Chu Ge and Nazha walking across the red carpet hand in hand.

"Holy cow, is that Dilireba Nazha? She's dressed like a little princess today."

"I'm focused on the handsome guy next to her. Is he the mysterious boyfriend Nazha has always been rumored to have?"

"It seems so! Wow, looking at them now, they really are a good match. A handsome man and a beautiful woman!"

"..."

The conversations from the people nearby reached Cao Bo's ears, word for word.

A show that had died before it even began. This sent Cao Bo into a towering rage. His emotions manifested on his face as a cold sneer; for a person like him, the more he suppressed his feelings, the more enraged he actually was.

"Not bad, you still dare to show your face. Truly, it was effortless to find you. A-Jie, if you mess this up again, you don't need to come back!"

"Yes, Brother Bo!"

The person beside Cao Bo retreated. At this moment, Chu Ge was completely unaware of all this.

After walking the red carpet, Nazha went backstage, while he sat quietly in the seat reserved for him by Nazha, patiently waiting for the music festival to begin.

The empty seats around him slowly filled up. Many people behind him were whispering. Dressed in a high-end suit, Chu Ge sat there alone, standing out from the crowd.

Regarding the evening suit, Chu Ge had looked at the label, but it was all in English, and he didn't understand it.

"Who is that handsome guy sitting in front? Do you guys know him? He looks a bit familiar."

"I think so too. He's probably some wealthy heir. Sitting in that position... I heard that good seats for today's music festival were scalped for over a hundred thousand."

"Exactly. And that suit he's wearing—I saw a magazine a couple of days ago that featured a luxury European brand, Brioni or something. Never mind custom-made ones; just picking one off the rack costs seventy or eighty thousand! That's exactly the one he's wearing!"

"Hiss, and he's so handsome too. Don't stop me, I'm in love!!!"

"Haha, you fan girl..."

The sounds of the girls messing around behind him vaguely reached Chu Ge's ears. He smiled and shook his head, glancing at the inside of his suit; it really was that brand.

Nazha had certainly spared no expense on him.

Chu Ge felt it was a bit of a waste. This outfit was basically just for show. After wearing it this time, he had no idea when he would wear it again; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a disposable item.

However, it seemed there were quite a few things in our daily lives—food, clothing, housing, and transportation—that we buy and only use once, so it was understandable, the other Chu Ge began to argue.

"Hello!"

While Chu Ge was still debating with himself, a stiff greeting suddenly came from beside him.

"Hello!"

"I—can I sit here? I can't really understand the Chinese characters on this."

"Oh. Let me see."

Chu Ge took it and looked; the number was indeed the one next to his. It seemed this was a foreigner. Chu Ge took another look and felt a bit of recognition; it seemed to be a currently famous pop star from Kimchi Country. He didn't know her name—names from there all felt the same to Chu Ge, just like their faces.

"Yes, your seat is right here. Please, sit. Oh, and welcome to China!"

Chu Ge replied politely. After the girl sat down, he looked back toward the stage. The lights were slowly dimming; it seemed the music festival was about to begin.

"Thump, thump, thump." A burst of intense dance beats rang out. The organizers started with a fast-paced song, and the previously noisy music festival venue slowly quieted down, leaving only the music.

Below the stage, friends in twos and threes stopped chatting and began to get hyped up to the rhythm of the music.

Of course, Cao Bo did not have the leisure for that right now.

"Brother Bo, our men are ready. As soon as the event ends, we can make our move."

"Hmm, is that kid alone? Don't make a fool of yourself like last time!"

"He should be alone. We've observed him carefully. Rest assured, this time it will be foolproof!"

"Hmm, go on."

Cao Bo nodded and glanced toward where Chu Ge was.

"Kid, today we'll settle all our new and old debts together."

Chu Ge was still listening to the live concert with great interest. He had always liked listening to music; although he was tone-deaf, it didn't stop him from being a music fan.

It was rare to be able to relax his body and mind like this today, so Chu Ge listened to every song very carefully. Soon, his Dilireba Nazha went on stage. It was a very fresh song that drove many young people who had just stepped into society crazy.

Chu Ge watched them venting their boundless passion and felt a sense of emotion, thinking that he must have been like this in the past too.

After Dilireba Nazha finished singing, she walked off the stage, crouched down, and moved to Chu Ge's side.

"Hi, Nazha!"

The girl next to Chu Ge suddenly called out softly.

"Hm? Hi, U, it's you! You came to the music festival too? Why aren't you performing on stage?"

"Oh... I came to Magic City for a promotional event. I heard there was a music festival here, so I asked a Chinese friend to get me a ticket. I wasn't planning on performing."

"I see. That's a pity. If they knew you were here, they would definitely go crazy."

Dilireba Nazha pointed to the group of young people nearby.

"Thank you for the compliment. This... is this your boyfriend?"
