Chapter 8：I Smell the Scent of a Sub

Ji Xiaonian stared at the man in the car, and for a moment, she was overwhelmed.

He had messy maroon hair, and under the pair of shades he had on, the sharp contours of his face could be seen. Adding to this was his thin, scarlet lips, which were both sexy and attractive…

'F*cking hell, how can this person be so beautiful?'

He was perfect, having looks that could only be found in fairy tales!

"Hey, are you Ji Xiaonian or not?"

Seeing that the little girl before him was already drooling over him, Lu Yifei could not help but furrow his brows, repeating the question impatiently.

Snapping back to reality, Ji Xiaonian hurriedly nodded and answered, "Ahh? Ah, yeah, I am. I'm Ji Xiaonian."

The moment he heard her answer, Lu Yifei immediately leaped out of his car and gestured for Ji Xiaonian to enter the car while holding it open for her. "Your brother sent me, please get in."

Ji Xiaonian had perhaps not seen Lu Yifei as a bad guy, hopping into his ride without a second thought.

Along the way to Shengtian Group, Ji Xiaonian had her eyes constantly glued onto the man driving the vehicle and asked all sorts of questions. "You. Who are you? Why have I never seen you before?"

She had been to the office several times, and not once had she ever encountered a man as beautiful as he was.

From his looks, he seemed to be around the same age as her!

"Who I am doesn't matter. What matters is that I've been tasked to retrieve you, and more accurately speaking, I've been tasked as your personal driver and security guard. Naturally, since I'm single, I'm willing to sacrifice myself should you take a liking to me and decide to be in a relationship."

Lu Yifei took off his shades, turned his head around and gave Ji Xiaonian a majestic smile. He then winked at Ji Xiaonian and said, "The name's Lu Yifei, aged 22 this year. How about it? Am I your type?"

While he talked, he made sure to toss a few winks at her.

As Ji Xiaonian continued to stare at Lu Yifei's handsome looks, her saliva had almost spilled out from her mouth. She was unfazed by Lu Yifei's words and instantly answered, "Of course I'll be happy to be in a relationship with someone as handsome as you. However, for some reason, I seem to smell the scent of a sub on you."

'Indeed, this man looks exactly like the subs described in the novel.'

'Flirtatious, gorgeous and speaks in a feminine tone.'

She firmly believed in her intuition that the man before her was definitely a homosexual. After all, she did not detect a hint of masculinity coming from him.

"You…"

Lu Yifei eyed the girl beside him in surprise. He was speechless at her words.

The truth of the situation, however…

Was Ji Xiaonian was correct.

Not only was Lu Yifei gay, but he was also a sub.

Lu Yifei went silent, and from that moment onwards, he trained his sights forward and was focused solely on driving.

"Was it that obvious? Does it only take a single glance to discern my true personality?" Lu Yifei quizzically asked.

'From the way that she looked at me, could she be a fujoshi through and through?'

'How else would she be able to see through my secret at her first glance?'

"Hahaha, I really didn't expect my prediction to be true."

Ji Xiaonian was surprised and overjoyed at Lu Yifei's confession. She inched closer to him, and with widened eyes, she asked, "Hurry up and tell me, what triggers people of your type to like the same gendered individuals? Both of you are males, so, is being in a relationship with another male the same as being in a relationship with a female?"

"Also, also, does your family support your preferences? Don't you fear being shunned and ridiculed by society?"

Ji Xiaonian had never expected to meet a real-life homosexual so quickly after she had dropped into the fujoshi pit.

'My god! I really want to know who this sub's dom is. I want to see them acting lovey-dovey. Just the thought of it is making my blood boil with excitement.'

"Would you support your brother if he's someone like me as well?" Lu Yi shot a quick glance at Ji Xiaonian. The handsome smile he wore had already faded and was replaced with an ominous expression.

Ji Xiaonian gave it some thought, and she answered confidently, "My brother isn't that kind of person."

After giving him an answer, she suddenly realized that there was something fishy to his words. As if she had just figured out something, she suddenly widened her eyes and stared at Lu Yifei. "My brother? Are you saying that my brother is also…"

"I didn't say anything."

Lu Yifei interrupted her speech, and with that, they continued their ride to Shengtian Tower in silence. Upon arrival, Lu Yifei hopped out of the car in a swift and cool manner.

Following that, he held the door open for Ji Xiaonian, and at that moment, his devilishly dashing smile had returned on his face. "We've arrived! Miss Xiaonian, you can come out now!"

Ji Xiaonian got out of the car. Upon seeing the smile on his face, she pulled him towards her and asked in a manner disregarding their level of familiarity, "Hurry up and give me an explanation. How does it feel to be in a relationship with another male?"

"If you're truly homosexual, then you MUST have a boyfriend, right? So, who's your boyfriend? How about you introduce him to me sometime? I bet you didn't know, but I'm a dedicated fan of people like you. No matter what others say about you two, I'll definitely support you guys!"

Upon hearing the little girl's supportive words, Lu Yifei spun his head around and gave her a smile of pure delight.

He suddenly placed his hands on her shoulders and held her all the way to the location where the celebration was held.

"With your words of support, I can now rest easy. Don't worry, in the future, if I get the chance, I'll definitely bring him to you. I guarantee that you'll be surprised."

"Really? Well, it's a deal then. You'd better bring him to me."

Likely due to Lu Yifei being gay, Ji Xiaonian did not mind his touch at all. With that, the two chatted and joked around as they made their way to the banquet hall.

Shengtian Group's Anniversary Celebration was held in a hall located on the first lower ground floor of the Shengtian Tower.

Within the hall, incandescent lights could be seen sparkling majestically as a lively scene unfolded before her. Between the glittering lights and the sparkle of wine, well-dressed people could be seen. They were standing in groups of three to five people, with each person holding a wine glass. The way they spoke was particularly elegant.

In contrast, Ji Xiaonian had her school bag on and was still wearing her student uniform. At a height of 5 feet 2 inches and with only a pair of flat-bottomed shoes on, she looked especially tiny within the crowd. Not just that, she looked green, containing all the innocence and naivety of youth.

As she followed Lu Yifei through the crowd, she garnered significant attention.

For some reason, Bai Yan, who was talking with Ji Chen and a few other company executives, had his eyes pinned on the little girl approaching them.

After a week of not seeing each other, the little girl looked even skinnier than before.

A pang of regret assaulted his heart at first. However, upon noticing the man beside her, his face instantly darkened.

At the same time, Ji Xiaonian and Lu Yifei had just made their way over.

Upon noticing Bai Yan, Ji Xiaonian smiled. The traces of humiliation she felt a week ago were no longer to be found as she shouted out, "Hii, Brother Yan."

Bai Yan flinched slightly.

Following that, Ji Xiaonian smiled at Ji Chen and said, "Brother, you look especially dashing today. No, you're always dashing. When you stand beside Brother Yan, you two look like you're made for one another. It's just too perfect."

Ji Chen looked at the little girl, but upon processing that she had just called out to Bai Yan, he was slightly surprised.

'Is she… no longer affected by the previous incident?'
