But let's rewind a minute ago—
Swoosh!
A luxurious and beautiful Porsche parked in front of a restaurant.
The bodyguard got out of the car and opened the door for Xu Hao.
It was mealtime now, and the streets were bustling with people.
The appearance of the top-tier Porsche immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.
Combined with the bodyguard opening the door, it piqued everyone's curiosity.
Who could have such a grand entrance?
Soon enough, a figure emerged from the car.
Tall and well-proportioned, with delicate and handsome features, eyes as deep as the night sky.
Especially the intangible charm exuding from him.
It made all the men around feel inferior and left women awestruck, reaching their "peaks" directly.
Well, maybe the effect wasn't that exaggerated, but it wasn't far off either.
This was the effect of full charm mode.
This restaurant used to be a frequent haunt, matching the tastes of the previous owner.
Xu Hao intended to go in and experience the lavish life of a handsome rich man.
His gaze casually swept through the crowd, but then he suddenly paused.
He spotted two people not far away.
Unlike others, a golden light seemed to shine above their heads, symbolizing people with exceptional fortune.
Xu Hao glanced at the two of them.
He also saw the "Donglai Shun" sign behind them, and a hint of realization flashed in his eyes.
Isn't this scenario about a female lead finding someone to pretend to be her boyfriend?
The male lead Lin Feng becomes the fake boyfriend of the campus belle Xia Mengyao through various tactics, putting on a show of arrogance and gaining the favor of the female lead.
"Heh..."
A faint smile appeared on Xu Hao's lips as he walked towards the two.
Since he stumbled upon this, there was no need to be coy.
"Hey handsome, the ultimate handsome!"
"Sss... What a stylish young man, even more handsome than my idol?"
"Isn't he much handsomer than those celebrities?"
As the appointed time drew near, Xia Mengyao grew a bit anxious due to Lin Feng's pestering.
Just then, she heard the excited cries of fangirls around her and looked in their direction.
She saw Xu Hao approaching.
With his refined features, tall stature of over six feet, and a well-fitted suit, he was a stark contrast to Lin Feng.
It was like night and day.
Lin Feng also turned his gaze in her direction.
Seeing Xu Hao, who outshone him in presence and appearance, he instinctively felt a sense of rejection.
"Sorry for the wait, Mengyao. Let's go."
Xu Hao's face carried a subtle smile.
Before Xia Mengyao could react, he put his arm around her waist and walked towards the entrance of "Donglai Shun."
Xu Hao's actions were natural and effortless, as if he and the campus belle were already a couple.
"So, the beauty was waiting for him."
The surrounding crowd suddenly realized.
Envious and jealous glances were cast their way.
They were envious of Xu Hao and admired Xia Mengyao for having such a handsome boyfriend.
As for Lin Feng, he was in disbelief, feeling a pang of heartbreak.
Such a beautiful girl was already taken?
Little did they know —
In that moment, Xia Mengyao was utterly confused.
'What's going on?'
'Who is this person?'
He's hugging her waist as soon as he arrives?
She didn't even know him.
Feeling the warmth emanating from her waist, she, who had never been in close contact with a man before, was left dumbfounded.
She mechanically followed Xu Hao's lead and walked towards the entrance.
Until —
Passing through the entrance with the welcoming hostess' respectful greeting, Xia Mengyao finally snapped out of her daze with a start.
Panic gripped her heart, and she struggled.
"Who are you? I don't know you."
But her strength was no match for the enhanced physique Xu Hao had gained.
His grip was as strong as a vise, unyielding to her attempts to break free.
Realizing she couldn't escape, Xia Mengyao was about to cry out for help.
At that moment, Xu Hao smiled faintly and raised his index finger.
"Shh..."
He leaned in closer to Xia Mengyao, a fragrant scent wafting over, pleasant to the senses — her own scent.
Xu Hao took a deep breath, his deep and melodious voice sounding right next to her ear.
"Xia Mengyao, didn't you want to find someone to pretend to be your boyfriend? How about me?"
The rich, magnetic tone reached her delicate ear, making Xia Mengyao feel uncomfortable.
She was frozen, unable to move, and Xu Hao's words caught her off guard.
How does he know she wanted a fake boyfriend?
He even knows her name.
Who is he?
In this moment, Xia Mengyao was not just confused but also fearful of the unknown.
"Who... Who are you?"
Her voice quivered.
[Ding... You've gained 666 points of fear from Xia Mengyao...]
"Heh... Let me formally introduce myself. I'm Xu Hao, and from now on, I'm your boyfriend."
Xu Hao chuckled lightly, reaching out to pinch her cheek.
This was an affectionate gesture.
Yet, it plunged Xia Mengyao into a deep abyss, sending a chill through her body, rendering her immobile.
In most people's eyes, Xu Hao was a playboy, always surrounded by girls.
But in the upper echelons of Shanghai's society, Xu Hao's reputation was immense, and he was someone not to be trifled with.
Anyone who dared to offend him could expect retaliation from Xu family.
Xia Mengyao came from a decent background and naturally knew about Xu Hao's identity.
She wanted to resist, yet she feared provoking him and bringing disaster upon her family.
"Young Master Xu Hao... Please, let me go..."
Trembling, Xia Mengyao's voice carried a hint of sobbing.
She had no idea why this young master had approached her.
Considering his reputation as a playboy, did he take an interest in her?
This made her even more fearful.
Truth be told —
Xu Hao had an extraordinary background, exceptional looks, and a great physique, making him an ideal boyfriend candidate.
However, Xu Hao's reputation as a playboy was well-known, and Xia Mengyao wanted to steer clear of him.
Furthermore, his sudden and aggressive approach only fueled her disgust and fear.
She had no idea.
All of this was intentionally orchestrated by Xu Hao.
Since he discovered the system's capabilities, he had no intention of peacefully coexisting with these protagonists, including the heroines.
He believed —
With his background and a little heroic rescue, he could easily charm these heroines into becoming his wives, using his charisma and some sweet words he learned from the internet in his past life.
But Xu Hao didn't want that.
If the heroines obeyed him obediently, how could he accumulate negative emotion values?
Besides —
He was a major villain.
With his status and methods, why would he become a dog licker for these heroines?
