Chapter 1006: Chapter 1006: Only One Girlfriend Acknowledged Publicly Chapter 1006: Chapter 1006: Only One Girlfriend Acknowledged Publicly Compared to her, Rong Yan was simply an example of being ‘insensible’ and ‘inconsiderate’.

Rong Yan had never helped Li Shengxiao pick up the golf clubs. Throughout the entire process, it was predominantly Li Shengxiao who took care of her–taking her to play golf, handing her water, and taking her to rest. Even though he was not much of a talker, the deep fondness evident in his actions had warmed Xia Xue’s eyes.

During her time serving Han Cheng, she had more than once stealthily watched that towering figure, feeling her heart pounding increasingly with each glance. She wished she could transform into Rong Yan instead of continuing to be a humble waitress here.

After finishing a round, Li Shengxiao and Han Cheng returned to their respective seats, each using a pen to sign the contract and exchanged the documents then and there.

“Pleasure doing business.”

Han Cheng extended his hand and grasped the man’s strong hand, “Mr. Li, pleasure doing business.”

He let go after a handshake and with a slight smile, glanced at Rong Yan, saying, “It’s getting late. Would you like me to arrange a room for Mr. Li in the clubhouse? The weather seems bad, looks like it’s going to rain. It might be better not to go back tonight.”

“No need, my girlfriend chooses the bed.” Li Shengxiao, holding the signed contract, casually wrapped his arm around Rong Yan’s shoulder, encasing her within his protective embrace as he spoke naturally.

Han Cheng’s eyebrows rose in surprise, finally giving Rong Yan a proper look, and said in astonishment, “This beauty is Mr. Li’s girlfriend?”

“I forgot to introduce her earlier.” He looked sideways at Rong Yan, his thin lips curving slightly, looking in a good mood, “This is my girlfriend, Rong Yan.”

“Rong Yan, that name sounds familiar, it seems I’ve heard it somewhere…” Han Cheng couldn’t remember at the moment, he didn’t dwell on it, smiling friendly at Rong Yan, “Miss Rong, sorry for earlier, I thought you were Mr. Li’s companion, my apologies for not being more attentive. Next time Miss Rong visits here, please give me a chance to apologize.”

In their circle, a female companion could be changed at any time, just like cars, houses, or the watches on their wrists, merely an accessory. No one would be polite to an accessory.

But a girlfriend is different.

No matter if they have other women on the side, the girlfriend they acknowledge publicly is the only one.

Since Li Shengxiao had acknowledged Rong Yan, she was considered a person on an equal footing with them. It was normal for him to apologize when he had initially treated Rong Yan as just another companion, which was less courteous.

Rong Yan knew that the other party was giving her face because of Li Shengxiao, not really because he valued her as a person. She responded neither humbly nor arrogantly, “Mr. Han is too kind. I also had my misconducts earlier. Seeing you having fun, I didn’t feel like introducing myself.”

Han Cheng smiled casually, appreciating her, “Miss Rong truly understands others well, even helping me save face. Mr. Li is very fortunate indeed. Truly enviable.”

“Also, Miss Rong, I noticed the weather is changing, it might rain soon. Why don’t you and Mr. Li stay here? Don’t worry, I will arrange the best room for you, and everything inside will be replaced entirely.”

Rong Yan looked back at the man next to her for his reaction. Even though he hadn’t explicitly stated anything, just from his look, she understood what he meant. She promptly responded to the enthusiastic Han Cheng, “Thank you for your kind gesture, Mr. Han, we appreciate it. I’d love to stay, unfortunately, I have work early tomorrow which makes it quite a distance from here. I’m afraid I won’t make it in time…”
