"Then I'll ask you another question. Will you answer me honestly?"
Song Rongzhi wanted to confirm again, so she asked seriously.
"You said."
He Qinzhou nodded.
"Do you like me?"
Song Rongzhi didn't care anymore. She had already lost enough face, so what did it matter if she was a little thick-skinned?
Anyway, this shy guy wouldn't talk nonsense to others.
Chapter 400: Confirming the Relationship
After asking the question, Song Rongzhi looked at He Qinzhou with hopeful eyes, wanting to get his response.
“Uh…” He Qinzhou’s gaze darted away, and he gently scratched his cheek, not giving a proper answer for a long time.
However, seeing his expression, Song Rongzhi already knew what was going on.
"I have a win-win idea, would you like to hear it?"
Song Rongzhi got straight to the point.
"What's the idea?"
He Qinzhou cast a curious glance his way.
"I'll be your girlfriend, and you just keep it a secret from your parents, is that all?"
Song Rongzhi said with a sly smile.
Just waiting for your words!
He Qinzhou felt an urge to clap his hands in celebration.
He pretended for so long, wasn't it all just to wait for Song Rongzhi to bring it up herself?
However, despite his excitement, He Qinzhou did not immediately agree. Instead, he continued to argue, "There are no secrets in the world. You can keep it from my parents, but if others see it and it gets back to my parents indirectly, I will be in just as bad shape."
"After all... my family background is quite powerful, and many people know me."
After a few seconds of simple thought, Song Rongzhi quickly came up with a solution and said, "This is easy. We'll talk about it secretly and not tell anyone."
"In public, we're just friends; in private, we're boyfriend and girlfriend. Isn't that enough?"
Upon hearing this, He Qinzhou gave a silly smile, but soon he frowned again.
Seeing this, Song Rongzhi became anxious again.
"What's wrong now? Is there any other problem?"
"I think this is really unfair to you."
He Qinzhou pretended to be a good person and said earnestly.
Song Rongzhi was furious. "I don't mind, so why do you?! Just tell me, are you willing to date me or not!"
"Of course!"
He Qinzhou nodded without hesitation.
"Isn't that okay?"
Song Rongzhi was delighted. "Are there still any problems?"
"Nothing."
He Qinzhou pretended to think for a moment, then shook his head.
"Now I'm officially announcing that I'm your girlfriend from now on. Please take good care of me in the days to come."
Song Rongzhi raised her snow-white chin, revealing a sassy smile.
At the same time, she extended her fair and soft hand.
"Okay, please...please give me your guidance."
He Qinzhou scratched his head before extending his hand to shake hands with Song Rongzhi.
[Ding! The host has successfully manipulated the female lead, Song Rongzhi, influencing the plot. The host has gained 1800 corruption points and 1800 Korean style luck points. Current Korean style luck points: 13200]
Song Rongzhi's current level of corruption: Level 3, 15/80
Seeing He Qinzhou's shy and bashful appearance, Song Rongzhi's lips curled into a smug smile.
I've been single since birth, but I'm finally out of the single life! Now I can have a boyfriend to boss around.
Moreover, this guy seems quite easy to bully!
She actually has a bit of a wild girlfriend vibe, but seeing this guy in front of her, she was like a docile little lamb, which made her even happier.
He Qinzhou took in Song Rongzhi's expression and secretly found it amusing.
After chatting with Song Rongzhi for a while, he left.
However, He Qinzhou did not return to his room. Instead, he went to find He Lintian and Jiang Suyue to discuss the matter with them.
To avoid He Lintian and Jiang Suyue accidentally exposing him.
After all, Song Rongzhi believed that he was under very strict family management.
After speaking with He Lintian and Jiang Suyue, He Qinzhou returned to his bedroom.
Unbeknownst to him, after he left, a beautiful figure quietly knocked on Song Rongzhi's door.
Tuk-tuk-tuk!
Song Rongzhi, who was just about to take a shower and rest, opened the door after hearing a knock.
Zeng Xueting's figure immediately came into view.
"Hey, Xueting, what are you still doing here? Shouldn't you have gone back?"
Song Rongzhi was puzzled and asked the question that had been bothering her.
"Hmph, my best friend has acted so strangely. How can I go back in peace without getting to the bottom of this?"
As Zeng Xueting spoke, she walked into Song Rongzhi's room.
Because they were best friends for many years, Song Rongzhi understood what Zeng Xueting meant as soon as she said it.
She peeked out the door, looked left and right, and only closed it after confirming that no one was there.
Sitting down next to Zeng Xueting, Song Rongzhi excitedly took her hand and said, "Xueting, I know what you want to ask. Do you remember when we were chatting yesterday, you asked me if I had someone I liked?"
Zeng Xueting nodded without saying anything.
"Didn't I just tell you that I fell in love with a man at first sight?"
Zeng Xueting continued to nod silently, confirming Song Rongzhi's statement.
Song Rongzhi smiled mysteriously and said slowly, "Xueting, I met him today."
Zeng Xueting was taken aback, then felt happy for her best friend. "Really? What does he look like? Why don't you take me to meet him?"
Looking at her best friend, who was even more excited than she was, Song Rongzhi could no longer suppress the smile in her heart.
"Xueting, you've seen that person before, and you've known him since you were little."
Song Rongzhi had heard Zeng Xueting mention the long-standing friendship between her family and the He family, so she guessed that He Qinzhou must have met Zeng Xueting since childhood.
That's why she said those things.
"Huh? Someone I've seen before? Who is it?"
Zeng Xueting was even more puzzled and asked.
"The young master of the He family, He Qinzhou."
Song Rongzhi chuckled.
"Huh? Rongzhi, the person you... likes is actually him?"
Upon hearing Song Rongzhi's words, Zeng Xueting's almond-shaped eyes widened in surprise. She never expected that the person her best friend had fallen in love with at first sight was actually the eldest son of the He family.
For a moment, Zeng Xueting remained silent.
"Hehe, yes, Xueting, Qinzhou is so handsome and comes from a good family. He's exactly the prince charming of my dreams."
Song Rongzhi clasped her hands together in front of her chest, her eyes sparkling with admiration.
"So that's why you originally wanted to leave, but suddenly changed your mind and decided to stay?"
Seeing her best friend's deep affection, Zeng Xueting pursed her lips and asked helplessly.
"Yes! Xueting, you didn't know."
"When He Lintian, the head of the He family, invited me to stay and enjoy the banquet, I originally wanted to refuse. Xueting, you know me well; I don't really like socializing with rich people."
"Then I saw Qinzhou come out of the banquet, and that's when I realized that Qinzhou was the handsome guy I had my eye on last time!"
"Perhaps, this is fate."
Song Rongzhi spoke eloquently, recounting everything that had happened at the banquet, and even let out a sigh at the end.
Zeng Xueting was even more helpless now. It was understandable that her best friend didn't know.
However, she knew that He Qinzhou had long been engaged to Xu Mengzhu, the eldest daughter of the Xu family.
At the same time, he also has an ambiguous relationship with Yang Zhixia, the daughter of the Yang family.
I wonder what would happen if Song Rongzhi found out about this...
Chapter 401: The Alliance Leader Requests an Audience
After chatting with Song Rongzhi for a while, Zeng Xueting finally left her room.
Tossing and turning in bed, Zeng Xueting didn't fall asleep until midnight, her mind filled with thoughts of He Qinzhou's relationship with Song Rongzhi.
Han Feng and his group spent the whole night staking out Song Rongzhi's house, but to no avail, and did not leave until the next morning.
"Damn it, what an idiot. He waited here all night because the other guy didn't come back. It's one thing for him to wait, but he also made the brothers stay with him. I don't know what the boss values in such an idiot?"
"Don't say that. Maybe the master just values his idiot."
Several bodyguards whispered and insulted Han Feng.
These words reached Han Feng's ears without him missing a single one, instantly enraging him.
He was furious that he had waited all night only to return empty-handed.
Hearing that these people didn't respect him at all, Han Feng became even angrier.
"Hmph, looks like we'll have to get that old bastard Zeng Kangjin to bring Zeng Xueting back."
"Zeng Xueting, you are engaged to me, so you are my woman, and no one can stop me!"
"And your best friend is also a great beauty."
The thought of Zeng Xueting and Song Rongzhi serving him together ignited a surge of lust in Han Feng's heart.
He Family Manor.
He Qinzhou got up, ate breakfast, and prepared to leave the He family manor for the He Group.
Song Rongzhi and Zeng Xueting were also about to leave.
However, they did not call their female assistant to pick them up in advance.
"Qinzhou, please see Miss Song and Miss Zeng off."
He Qinzhou secretly gave him a helping hand.
"Okay, Dad."
He Qinzhou nodded obediently.
"Go to the company and work hard. Remember what I've taught you, do you hear me?!"
He Lintian had a stern look on his face, exuding an imposing aura even without anger.
"Know, know."
He Qinzhou quickly responded.
"You'd better do as I say. I have eyes and ears in the company. If I find out you've disobeyed, I'll teach you a lesson."
