Chapter 193 Showing off Wealth
“I will always be your little Yezi.”
Xiao Bing just could not get these words out of his mind when walking in the park with Yezi by his side. Finally, an impulse got a hold of him. “And I will always be your Brother Bing.”
“Yezi, no matter what will happen and who will come for you, you will always be mine.”
“Yezi, no matter how perilous the road ahead might be, you will always find me by your side.”
“I promise that there will be no more tragedies. No one can hurt my woman again.”
Xiao Bing opened his hand and felt helpless when he was fighting Lord Long several days ago. He suddenly felt extremely upset.
There were still two months before he could unseal his power. He had to be stronger within this period, otherwise how could he protect his women?
Xiao Bing suddenly thought of a good sparring partner—the mysterious Gao Fei.
“Brother Bing, let’s go to the merry-go-round.”
“Okay.” Xiao Bing grinned and went over to it with Yezi.
While Xiao Bing and Yezi were enjoying their date, Liu Kexin was reading magazines in bed. She didn’t have to work today. She had a good sleep and went back to her bed after she had her breakfast.
Liu Kexin spent Valentine’s Day alone every year. Sometimes, she even forgot which day this holiday was because she never had a boyfriend, except for Xiao Bing, that fake boyfriend of hers.
Suddenly, she heard a knock on the door. Liu Kexin put the magazine aside and leaned on the bedside. “I’m not sleeping. Please come in,” she said sweetly.
The door squeaked as the girl’s mother opened it. She walked toward the bed while kindly smiling at her daughter. She put her daughter’s hand on hers and grinned. “Sweetie, you seemed to be worried these days. What happened? Are you having a quarrel with Xiao Bing?”
“No, that’s impossible.” Liu Kexin shook her head immediately. “Brother Bing is so kind to me. There is never a quarrel between us.”
Her mother grinned. “I’m your mother. I can always tell if you are troubled by something. Besides, do you know what day this is?”
Liu Kexin shook her head. Actually, though she had never celebrated this day with others, she knew what day Valentine’s Day was.
Every nurse that was on leave was supposed to attend a party this afternoon, and anyone who had a boyfriend was asked to bring him along. They even particularly reminded Liu Kexin to bring Xiao Bing with her. Because after what happened at that ball, Xiao Bing had become so popular in this hospital. However, Liu Kexin felt that she shouldn’t always ask Xiao Bing to pretend to be her boyfriend. And out of fear that they would find out the truth, she decided not to go to the party.
Upon being asked about this matter, Liu Kexin became nervous. She intended to say that she didn’t know, lest her mother have any doubt about their relationship. After all, she had never spent this day with a boy before.
The mother said worriedly, “So, you two did have a quarrel. Even if you don’t know when Valentine’s Day is, at least your friends should know. So you haven’t heard any of them mention this special day?”
Liu Kexin realized that things would be much more complicated if she said that she didn’t know the day. She pouted. “Mom, he and I had a plan for today. But he’s just so busy with making lamian. Today, almost every restaurant is crowded with customers. I shouldn’t stop him from making money for just a holiday.”
Liu Kexin’s mother sighed. “Indeed, men should attach importance to their career. But you’re at the age of romance. If he chooses his work over you, I’m afraid that he will spend less and less time with you after you get married.”
“Mom, it’s not a big deal. The two of us are great. You don’t need to worry about us.”
“I hope so.” Liu Kexin’s mother sighed while she stood up. She slowly walked to the door and whirled around. “Anyway, you should know that Xiao Bing seems to be a decent man. But we don’t want you to marry a man who chooses work over family. You should be more serious about this.”
Then the girl’s mother took her leave. Liu Kexin bit her lips. She knew her mother was a discerning woman. She and Xiao Bing tried to make themselves seem like a lovely couple, but a woman’s intuition is a peculiar thing. Liu Kexin surmised that her mother must have thought of something, since she and Brother Bing didn’t hang out on this day.
The girl was contemplating. Her father was about to say no to this arranged marriage and she did not want any mishap at the time. She hesitated for quite a while and decided to call Xiao Bing.
“Sorry, the number you have dialed is not in service. Please try your call again.”

“I assume that Brother Bing is on a date with his real girlfriend. Yezi will definitely not be happy with me if I call Brother Bing on Valentine’s Day. He’s always so nice to me. I can’t bring any more troubles to Brother Bing.”
Liu Kexin then called one of her colleagues. “Hello? Where are you now? Walking on the streets? I’m coming,” she said with a lowered voice.
Liu Kexin hung up the phone, got up from bed, dressed herself, and walked out of the room. She faintly heard her parents talking about something in their room. She knocked on their door and walked in. “Mom, dad, I won’t be back tonight. Brother Bing just called me and he asked me to come to his place. He said that he has a surprise for me…”
Not long ago, the girl’s mother had wondered if there was something wrong with her daughter’s relationship with Xiao Bing. But she was greatly delighted upon hearing the words her daughter just said. “Then what are you waiting for? You don’t need to come home early tonight. Have fun.”
“I know, mom.”
Liu Kexin then made her exit and closed the door. Then she heard her father talking in the room. “I said the two are just fine. Why were you being so dramatic, woman?”
“I’m just caring for our daughter. What if something really happened between them? But it seems that I just worried too much.”
“I’ll talk about the promise I made to the Yu family in two days. Our daughter has found her happiness and we can’t ruin it.”
Liu Kexin felt relieved. It seemed that her guess was right. If she really stayed at home, her parents would definitely doubt the veracity of their relationship. Everything would be easier if the marriage was canceled.
Liu Kexin then put on her shoes and left home. She got in a cab and got out at a car-free street and called her colleague. Then she stood in front of a drinking shop.
Not long after, five men and seven women arrived. There were five couples among them. And two of them were nurses whom Liu Kexin was familiar with. And one nurse’s boyfriend was a soldier, who spent most of the year in the army and could not come back on Valentine’s Day. The other nurse was single.
Upon seeing Liu Kexin, the two single girls instantly dashed toward her and grabbed her hands. “Kexin, you’re finally willing to come out. How considerate you are. We didn’t bring our boyfriends because I don’t have one and Zisu’s boyfriend is still in the army. But why didn’t you bring Xiao Bing with you?”
A smile touched Liu Kexin’s lips. “Brother Bing is busy with work. He’s unable to hang out with me today.”
“That’s unacceptable,” said a beautiful, tall girl who was wearing a revealing dress. “He thinks that money is more important than his woman? Besides, I heard that that boyfriend of yours is no more than an owner of a little noodle house. There is no way that he can be busier than my boyfriend. He earns a salary every month and his monthly salary is more than the money your boyfriend can make in a whole year. Am I right, Yang?”
Some of the bystanders all cast this woman a glance of disdain while some seemed to be jealous of her. The source of that voice was a woman called Wu Yanhui, 28. She hooked up with a tall, handsome, rich man, Zhangyang, the owner of a middle-scaled company. His assets were worth over a dozen million.
The complacency on Zhang Yang’s face was conspicuous. Though compared with those true successful businessmen, he was nearly nothing, but he liked the feeling of being envied and admired. It made him very proud.
His eyes brightened as they fixed on Liu Kexin. He reached out his hand solicitously and smiled. “Don’t listen to her nonsense. I’m over 30 yet I’m still far from being a billionaire. There’s nothing worth boasting about.”
Actually, he was somewhere far, far away from a billion. But he was obviously flaunting his wealth by saying that.
Abashed, Liu Kexin reached out her hand and intended to show her courtesy. However, she then felt her hand be firmly grasped by Zhang Yang’s hand. The grip was so hard that she couldn’t draw it back. Her face curdled instantly.
Zhang Yang grabbed Liu Kexin’s hand tightly and grinned. “I heard them call you Liu Kexin. What a beautiful name, and the person is even more so. You should hang out with us more often. Your sister Yanhui likes you very much.”
Zhang Yang had been holding her hand for quite a while and finally, he loosened his grip, gradually and reluctantly. He knew that people would get suspicious if he kept holding her hand any longer.
Liu Kexin withdrew her hand and found her heart pumping vigorously. She rued the decision to hang out with them. She was slightly angry but she didn’t dare bristle at him because she was not sure if the man took advantage of her deliberately.
Wu Yanhui leaned on Zhang Yang’s chest and pouted. “Zhang Yang, why didn’t you give me any present? It’s Valentine’s Day. I’m feeling so sad.”
Zhang Yang guffawed. “Who said that I didn’t prepare any present for you? Will you take a look at this?”
Then he reached into his chest pocket and took out an exquisite box. The others all gasped as he opened it because they found there was a sparkling crystal necklace lying inside it. “I saw it in a mall two days ago. It’s worth 50,000. My boyfriend and I both couldn’t afford it,” said a girl with her eyes brightened.
The boy standing beside her seemed to feel awkward with his reddened face.
Zhang Yang felt complacent yet he shrugged deliberately. “It’s merely a material thing. I don’t need to buy it especially on Valentine’s Day. One necklace is nothing to me. The money I make in one single deal can buy countless necklaces like this.”
“Of course.” Wu Yanhui’s vanity was greatly satisfied. She cocked her neck and said coquettishly, “Honey, can you help me put this necklace on?”
The two seemed to be a lovely couple. However, Zhang Yang cast a discreet glance at Liu Kexin when he was helping his girlfriend put on the necklace, thinking of something evil.
