The relationship becomes increasingly complicated
The car window rolled down, and Xia Xuehan sweetly waved at the three of them.
"Hurry and get in the car, it's hot outside."
"Xuehan, is this… is this Dongzi's car too?" Jiang Ziyi felt her small head was a bit overwhelmed, as if it was buzzing.
Students passing by noticed the luxury car, especially since there were three beautiful girls standing beside it.
"Holy cow, which beautiful girl got picked up by a rich guy from outside the school this time?"
"These capitalist dogs, they only know how to come to school and steal our beautiful girls, it's too much."
"Exactly! One day, I'll become someone like that, and then all the school beauties of Jinghai University will be mine."
Everyone around was shocked by this person's grand ambition, giving him thumbs up one after another....
Feeling the strange looks from the people around, Zhang Ruolan quickly pulled open the car door and got in. Although Li Yingying and Jiang Ziyi had many questions, they weren't in a hurry. Getting in the car first was the priority.
Dudu Commercial Plaza was close to the school but a bit lower in class, so Chen Dong didn't choose it this time. Instead, he continued driving to Dongsheng International Hotel.
Chen Dong didn't choose the building with offices, as many staff there recognized him. As the boss, he also wanted to see how the hotel's service attitude usually was and how the dishes tasted.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the Dongsheng International Hotel closest to the school. The 49-story hotel was a rather magnificent building in Jinghai, though it couldn't compare to Beijing or Shanghai.
Chen Dong led the four beautiful girls into the hotel. The service staff immediately greeted them with smiles; their professional quality was very much online.
"Welcome to Dongsheng International. Are you here for accommodation, dining, or leisure and entertainment?"
"Dining. I called to reserve. It's the Luoxia Hall. My name is Chen Dong."
"Alright, sir, please follow me." After verifying Chen Dong's identity, the waitress led the group into the elevator, directly up to the 36th floor, to a private room facing west.
"Sir, this is Luoxia Hall. Through the window, you can see Jinghai's most beautiful sunset view, taking in the city's hazy glow under the setting sun."
As the waitress introduced, the group came to the window of the private room: the setting sun dyed the evening clouds red, and the lingering sun was like blood. Such a view truly couldn't be seen elsewhere.
"Wow, it's really beautiful." The girls all took out their phones and started taking pictures.
Chen Dong sat down at the table and started ordering. The prices were too expensive; if he let them order, they might hesitate, so he decided to do it himself.
Five people, four girls, wouldn't eat too much. Chen Dong ordered five dishes and one soup, plus two pitchers of freshly squeezed juice.
He had to drive, so he couldn't drink alcohol, and the girls usually didn't either.
The dishes were served one after another: Black Chicken and Matsutake Mushroom Soup, Steamed King Crab, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, Braised Lion's Head Goose...
Chen Dong enthusiastically greeted the four beautiful women. With the power of money, Chen Dong became incredibly confident.
With the various buffs provided by the system, he became even more charming. Whether it was the Light of CZ, the Charity Ambassador, or the Charm Boost, Chen Dong at this moment absolutely outshone popular celebrities.
Jiang Ziyi and Li Yingying's gazes towards Chen Dong clearly changed, while Zhang Ruolan on the side remained clear-headed. She knew herself well:
Although she could be considered a small beauty, compared to the other three in the dorm, she was always a step behind. Someone like Chen Dong definitely wouldn't be interested in her, so why bother adding to her troubles?
But the situation now seemed a bit complicated. After their first meeting, she had felt that Jiang Ziyi and Li Yingying might develop feelings for Chen Dong, but it was still in its nascent stage then. Today, it felt like the two were already on the verge of falling.
However, Chen Dong clearly had a very good relationship with Xia Xuehan, and besides, Xia Xuehan was usually kind to people. Zhang Ruolan really liked this girl.
Could it be that the few people in the dorm were going to turn against each other because of this man? It was a bit of a headache.
"Come, Xuehan, I'll pour you some corn juice." Chen Dong gently took Xia Xuehan's cup and poured her a glass of juice.
"Dongzi, I want some too." Jiang Ziyi pouted, her chin slightly raised, with a hint of coquetry.
"Me too, Dongzi." Li Yingying also handed over her cup.
"Alright, I'll pour you two a cup too." Chen Dong smiled and poured each of them a cup, then took Zhang Ruolan's cup and filled it as well.
"Everyone worked hard during military training. Today, have a good meal, and then go back tonight for a good night's sleep. You'll be full of energy tomorrow."
"How well can we sleep alone in the dorm? We're not like Xuehan; only with Dongzi by your side can you have a good night's sleep."
Jiang Ziyi looked at Chen Dong with a resentful gaze, as if she really wanted to take Xia Xuehan's place.
"Ziyi, what nonsense are you talking about? Xuehan is Dongzi's girlfriend, isn't it normal for them to be together?"
Zhang Ruolan quickly pulled her roommate back. Xia Xuehan didn't notice anything unusual, thinking her roommate was teasing her for already living with her boyfriend. A blush quickly spread across her delicate face.
Chen Dong felt helpless. His original intention in approaching Xia Xuehan's roommates was to make sure Xia Xuehan had a smooth time at school, fearing she might be ostracized.
But now, it seemed things were not going as planned. Was his charm really that great now? He was being coveted wherever he went.
Being too outstanding wasn't necessarily a good thing, Chen Dong thought narcissistically, shaking his head.
"Thank you all for taking care of Xuehan. My Xuehan, this girl, doesn't talk much usually and is easily bullied. Please bear with her."
Chen Dong gently held Xia Xuehan's soft hand and raised his glass again. This was to show his feelings to the other two girls: Xia Xuehan was his unique girlfriend in his heart.
It wasn't that Chen Dong disliked having many women, nor did he find Jiang Ziyi and Li Yingying unattractive. The key was that a rabbit doesn't eat the grass near its burrow. These two were in the same dorm as Xia Xuehan. If he made a move on them, Xia Xuehan would probably find out in minutes.
It was impossible to hide having other women from Xia Xuehan forever, but Chen Dong still hoped that day would come a little later.
The few of them finished dinner with mixed feelings. Only Xia Xuehan didn't notice the abnormality of her two roommates; she was truly a simple girl.
And only she was the happiest. Chen Dong showed his affection and care for her everywhere, making Xia Xuehan incredibly happy and satisfied.
The few of them slowly savored the delicious food and chatted. Unconsciously, dusk fell.
Outside, the city lights began to twinkle, quickly enveloping the entire city.
After dinner, everyone stood by the window again, looking down at the bustling city.
Xia Xuehan leaned happily into Chen Dong's embrace. With this man by her side, she didn't have to think about anything. As long as she obediently followed him, she could enjoy all the prosperity in this world.
The other three occasionally stole glances at the sweet couple, revealing endless envy.
Who wouldn't want a Prince Charming like that for a boyfriend? If heaven could give me such a boyfriend, I'd be willing to live in a mansion and drive a luxury car....
