Return of the King, Dominating the City-Chapter 1504 - 1489: More Than a Man

The three men watched the women in front of them scream and catch up with obvious grace, as if it wouldn’t matter if they kept yelling for an hour. Meanwhile, Song Yun gazed lecherously at the three women, checking them out from head to toe, and then paired them with the three men to see who was with whom.

The screaming lasted for a full minute before the four finally quieted down.

"Mengjie, we heard you had some trouble while in Japan. We were so worried! You didn’t answer your phone. The moment I heard you were fine, I flew back directly from Paris on the first flight overnight," Xiao Xin said.

"Thank you, my dear. Come here, give me a kiss." Chen Mengjie hugged Xiao Xin and gave her a peck.

"Us too! We were shooting an MV in the United States, and when we heard you were back in Shen Zhou, we rushed back overnight. We deserve a kiss too," Miao Jie and Miao Mei shouted.

Chen Mengjie decisively hugged them and gave each a peck, then glanced at the men standing behind them, saying, "Oh, are these your new... boyfriends?"

"What do you mean? I’ve only ever had one boyfriend. Let me introduce you," Xiao Xin laughed as she pulled over a sunny-looking guy. "This is my boyfriend, Joe. He’s in the wine business in France!"

"Hello, Miss Mengjie, you’re my second idol after Xiao Xin," the sunny-looking guy smiled and said.

"You’re amazing, being with our Xiao Xin," Chen Mengjie laughed and said. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"Mengjie, Mengjie, this is my boyfriend, Georgia. He’s mixed race," Miao Jie pulled over a man whose appearance clearly showed his mixed heritage.

"Hello, charming Miss Chen Mengjie," Georgia smiled and said.

"What kind of mixed race are you?" Chen Mengjie asked curiously.

"I’m a quarter Arab royal, but my mom is American and my dad is Shen Zhou," Georgia said.

"You are really handsome," Chen Mengjie complimented.

"Thank you, Miss Mengjie!"

"And this is my boyfriend. His name is Lin Haichao. He’s from the WZ area, and his family is in the jewelry business in South Africa," Miao Mei pulled over a handsome man and said.

"Hello!"

Lin Haichao nodded at Chen Mengjie and said, "I met you at our Wen Commerce Association annual meeting two years ago!"

"Oh." Chen Mengjie looked at Lin Haichao in surprise.

"My dad is Lin Rong," Lin Haichao said.

"Oh, so you’re Chairman Lin’s son." Chen Mengjie suddenly understood, while Song Yun squinted his eyes.

Lin Rong’s name he had heard before, and he was very familiar with it. Why? Because this man was the vice president of the Wen Commerce Association, second in power only to the president appointed by the Zhou Family. The fact that such a person’s son would be here shocked Song Yun once again. At this moment, a thought quietly began to brew in Song Yun’s mind.

"After that meeting, I went to South Africa. Recently, I came back because the family business needed me," Lin Haichao said with a smile. "I didn’t expect to see you here!"

"Haha, me neither." Chen Mengjie nodded with a smile.

"Mengjie, who is this?"

Xiao Xin looked at Song Yun and asked.

"This is my official boyfriend." Chen Mengjie smiled, wrapping her arm around Song Yun’s, and said, "His name is..."

"I’m Song Wenxi!"

Song Yun squinted his eyes and preemptively said.

Chen Mengjie glanced at Song Yun in astonishment, surprised as to why Song Yun was using a fake name, but she did not expose him, instead smiling and saying, "Yes, his name is Wenxi."

"Song Wenxi, quite a literary name. By the way, Mengjie, what does your boyfriend do?" Xiao Xin curiously asked.

"He, um, he’s..." Chen Mengjie was about to say Song Yun was from the Song Family when Song Yun interjected, "I’m Mengjie’s assistant!"

"Ah, assistant? Mengjie, wasn’t your assistant always Xiao Zhu? Plus, didn’t you say you wouldn’t hire a male assistant?" Xiao Xin asked in shock. "How did you end up with a male assistant, and then also..."

"Hehe, when love comes, it happens naturally," Chen Mengjie, although more curious as to why Song Yun said nothing, did not expose him.

"Hahaha, Wenxi, you’re really lucky. Our Mengjie is the idol of the entire entertainment circle, with countless promising young men wishing to get close to her. Didn’t think it would be you who succeeded! Haha, let’s go, don’t stay here, let’s head out," Xiao Xin said.

"Let’s go!"

The other women nodded and headed for the exit together. The three men, though of noble standing, were particularly graceful, exchanging smiles with each other. They didn’t even neglect Song Yun; Lin Haichao even put an arm around Song Yun’s shoulder, saying, "Impressive, brother, to win over Shen Zhou No.1 female star takes some real skill!"

Song Yun smiled and said, "It’s just fate, nothing more!"

"Hahaha, why don’t we have that kind of fate?" Joe, standing nearby, said.

"Don’t let them hear, let’s go," Georgia said, carrying their luggage forward, while Song Yun was led forward by Lin Haichao, his arm slung over his shoulder.

They left the airport through the VIP passage. The fans there to pick up their idols were naturally overjoyed, and the scene almost turned riotous when they saw Chen Mengjie also appear, but fortunately, the on-site security was competent, so no incidents occurred.

"I’ve already arranged for a car to come," Lin Haichao said with a smile. "Let’s wait a bit and have a meal first!"

"I’ll book the dinner," Chen Mengjie said with a smile.

"Alright, no problem!"

Outside, a stretch Hummer was already parked at the door. Once everyone boarded one after another, the car headed toward the city center.

The dinner Chen Mengjie arranged was at a private wellness club, reportedly run directly by the Green Sect. The interior was styled like old Shanghai of the 1930s and ’40s, and Chen Mengjie booked them rooms for the night, each with a hefty six-figure nightly rate.

Taking advantage of the empty time while others were putting away their luggage, Chen Mengjie pulled Song Yun into a secluded corner.

"Song Yun, why did you have to deceive them?" Chen Mengjie asked, curious.

"Well, it’s a long story," Song Yun said. "Anyway, there’s some bad blood between me and Lin Haichao’s family. It’s getting to the point where we’re about to go to war. If I used my real name, they might have heard of me, so of course, I can’t reveal it!"

"War, what for? Ah, I get it, they’re from the Wen Commerce Association," Chen Mengjie realized.

"Exactly!"

Song Yun said, "Lin Haichao’s father, Lin Rong, is the vice president of the Wen Commerce Association and a spokesperson for the Zhou Family. When I had my bounty posted overseas, it was Lin Rong who put it up. He’s someone I’ve spent so long setting up against here in Shanghai, someone I absolutely need to bring down. Sorry, Mengjie, he’s your friend’s boyfriend, but I have to apologize to your friend!"

"It’s fine." Chen Mengjie shook her head and said, "They change boyfriends really fast. Lin Haichao is probably just a recent boyfriend. They might switch any day!"

"That’s good." Song Yun nodded and said, "I might need to arrange something later. Please cooperate with me!"

"Sure," Chen Mengjie nodded and said, "As long as it doesn’t hurt my friends, it’s okay!"

"I understand!"
