Standing Next To You-Chapter 214: A Guard Dog

Bei Sangyun did not return to her table but looked for Zhong Cheng. She immediately found him, soliciting students to vote for her.

"If you vote for Boss and Brother-in-law, I will make sure to bring up your name to her. You know how generous boss is to her followers. She will surely reward you—"

"Zhong Cheng." Bei Sangyun felt a headache. What is this guy doing?

Zhong Cheng saw Bei Sangyun and was pleasantly surprised. After leaving the words ’Please Vote Boss’, he hurriedly ran to Bei Sangyun’s side.

"Do you need me for anything, boss?"

Bei Sangyun flicked his forehead, "Stop persuading people to vote for me. I don’t need that title."

Zhong Cheng pouted. He wanted to mention a lot of money was involved here, but considering that his boss could afford a white phantom and the six million dollar earrings, he shut up.

Right, boss doesn’t need the betting money.

"I have a question for you. Do you know anything about the ’Tears of Mermaid’?"

Zhong Cheng nodded his head, "I just read an article about it moments ago. It is said to be crafted around the Medieval era. A princess from the North Kingdom—"

"I am not asking about its history." Bei Sangyun lightly touched her earrings. "Is that ’Tears of Mermaid’ referring to my earrings?"

Zhong Cheng finally understood what she meant. He looked at her in surprise. "You don’t know your earrings are from the set ’Tears of Mermaid’?" Then his eyes went wide. He looked around and whispered, "Is it fake, boss?"

Bei Sangyun pushed away his forehead. "It’s not fake!"

Fei Chuan wouldn’t give her counterfeit products. That man’s pride would rather give her something he had made with his own hands rather than a fake. Besides, she studied it earlier and knew that it was genuine.

"How much is this ’Tears of Mermaid’?" Bei Sangyun asked.

Zhong Cheng opened the article about it on his phone and showed it to Bei Sangyun.

Bei Sangyun’s eyes went wide.

S-six million?!

The hand that was gently caressing the gem paused. This earring is worth this much?!

Bei Sangyun’s ears suddenly grew hot. She felt the earrings were too heavy.

She read the rest of the article, and her heart grew even more stuffy. Such precious earrings can be passed down to later generations as heirlooms. But Fei Chuan just casually gave it to her and said he bought it from the streets.

If she did not learn it from others, she wouldn’t know how much Fei Chuan spent on her. Why give her such precious earrings?

She knew Fei Chuan’s current situation. He was not in a position to squander money on extravagant things. If it was the future Fei Chuan who owned the entire Fei family, Bei Sangyun wouldn’t feel much burdened. But the current Fei Chuan was the guy who ate lunch at the cafeteria to save money.

She did not know how to feel. She felt burdened, guilty, happy, and warm at the same time.

Seeing the dazed look on his boss’ face, Zhong Cheng carefully asked. "Boss, where did you get those earrings?"

"...It is a gift from Fei Chuan." Bei Sangyun dazedly answered, feeling conflicted.

Zhong Cheng was shocked. His doubt that the earrings were fake grew.

He said hesitantly, "It’s not that I want to doubt brother-in-law, but can he afford the genuine ’Tears of Mermaid’? This might be class A." Zhong Chen also knew of Fei Chuan’s situation.

Despite being a young master from the great Fei family, Fei Chuan was the same as those illegitimate children. He was unfavored and unwanted in that family.

Bei Sangyun sharply glanced at him. "Fei Chuan is not weak or powerless as he appeared to be."

Zhong Cheng was scared by her gaze and shut up.

Bei Sangyun took a deep breath. She also wished this was fake and not the real thing. If it was really the genuine ’Tears of Mermaid,’ she really did not know how to accept this.

"Don’t tell anyone where my earrings came from."

Zhong Cheng nodded, zipping his mouth.

.....

When Bei Sangyun returned to her table, she was stunned to see a crowd of young ladies surrounding their area.

Bei Sangyun: "...."

She was only gone for a moment, and the ladies pounced on Fei Chuan like a pack of wolves. She approached the crowd and patted the woman near her.

The woman pushed her hand away without looking back at her. They were busy trying to get answers from Fei Chuan.

"You are lying. You are just using Fei Chuan’s name, right? Don’t worry, we won’t tell the tyrant that you tell us your real name. We just want to know you more."

"So which family you came from?"

"What school do you attend to? I’ll transfer right away!"

"Do you have a girlfriend? Actually, I don’t care if you have a girlfriend. I am confident I can steal you away from her!"

"Can you dance with us? Just one dance!"

Bei Sangyun: "...."

Fei Chuan was surely popular. He drives the women mad. This made her reminisce about the time when she always found Fei Chuan surrounded by women.

She tapped the young lady’s shoulder in front of her. But the young lady just cursed, "Stop it, will you?"

Bei Sangyun: "...."

She took a deep breath and coldly said, "That’s my seat, so move away."

The young lady froze when she heard her familiar voice. She turned around and saw Bei Sangyun’s cold smile.

"T-tyrant!" Her terrified shout caused the other girls to turn to them. They also froze in shock.

Bei Sangyun smiled at them, but it did not reach her eyes. "You guys are blocking my way."

The girls immediately stepped back. Bei Sangyun successfully sat on her seat. She noticed Fei Chuan’s ugly face and knew he was in a bad mood. So she shooed the woman away, "Are you guys going to entertain us? Why do you keep standing surrounding my table?"

The girls reluctantly dispersed.

Fei Chuan finally sighed in relief. He turned to Bei Sangyun with a disgruntled face, "Don’t disappear for too long."

Bei Sangyun took delight in his plight, "Are you going to keep me as your guard dog? I’ll be happy to oblige if you marry me."

Fei Chuan: "...."

The DJ suddenly switched the music to a slow dance, causing the students to cheer once more.

The groups on the dance floor dissipated, and couples came to the center. They hugged each other’s necks intimately, and the atmosphere suddenly changed to romantic.

Bei Sangyun was looking for the chance to open the topic about the earrings. She wanted to confirm with him if it was the genuine one. If it truly was, she also intended to ask why he gave such a precious gift to her when she hadn’t given him anything in return.

Fei Chuan was silently watching the couples in the center when he suddenly noticed a man in a white suit approaching their table. He took a side glance and recognized Jang Shin.

Fei Chuan’s eyes narrowed. He was wondering when he was going to take action. So he waited for this moment.

A romantic song, huh. It was an indeed good atmosphere to create intimate bonds.

Fei Chuan suddenly broke the silence, "Would you like to have a dance?"

Bei Sangyun was taken aback. It was rare for Fei Chuan to take the initiative. This presented a good opportunity to ask him about the earrings.

"Okay."
