Chapter 53: 053

Chapter 53

Xie Cheng's phone call was a bit long, long enough to make Lan Xi start to feel a little nervous and anxious.

Xie Cheng was too calm, not showing any of the joy and excitement that should come with being selected by the princess, which was not normal.

Could it be... could it be that he was so extremely excited that he became numb and at a loss instead? Or after calming down, considering that his other half was the noble princess, he started to feel pressured and afraid of becoming a phoenix male?

However, fortunately, just as Lan Xi was lost in thought, Xie Cheng finally ended his call and walked back to Lan Xi.

This time, Xie Cheng spoke first. His expression was calm, his tone steady and natural: "I believe you are the princess." He smiled at Lan Xi, "Since you are the princess, your family must also be members of the royal family, right?"

It seemed that Xie Cheng really believed her! And he didn't seem to feel too inferior either!

Lan Xi breathed a sigh of relief: "Of course!"

"Then as you mentioned before, your family left you a guide to surviving in modern society, right?"

"Yes!" Unfortunately she didn't have it with her, otherwise Lan Xi would have been willing to show Xie Cheng the Guide.

Fortunately, Xie Cheng was not concerned about any guide. He just blinked, then said sincerely, "Then can I meet your family? After all, we are dating, and you are such a noble princess, I should at least pay my respects to your royal family?"

"They are all far away on Mu Yi Star!" Lan Xi was also quite helpless, but...

"However, there are still many Mu Yi Star citizens on Earth. I heard that many senior members of them also provided material when compiling that guide. If you want to meet them, you can. It's quite a coincidence, there is an alumni meeting of Mu Yi Star people this weekend, and they will all come." Lan Xi was very enthusiastic, "Do you want to participate together?"

It was really a coincidence. Wang Zhiqiang had wanted to organize the second Mu Yi Star alumni reunion meeting for a long time. This reunion was originally planned to be held long ago, but unfortunately Wang Zhiqiang was restricted by his wife's curfew after the first reunion meeting, his whereabouts had to be reported, so it was delayed until now when Wang Zhiqiang's wife finally relaxed her control over him, and he just notified Lan Xi of the time and place for the second reunion.

Lan Xi thought about it and thoughtfully added, "It's just all aliens, everyone has some special abilities of their own. If you go, you'll be the only vulnerable Earthling there, and at the bottom of the cosmic food chain. I'm afraid you won't feel safe..."

Providing materials for that crappy guide?

Weren't they all trash?

How could he not feel safe in front of these trash who took advantage of Lan Xi?

The ones who should feel unsafe were these trash who exploited Lan Xi.

Xie Cheng was going to catch them all and bring them to justice, and then take Lan Xi to the hospital to accompany her and help her receive treatment, so that she could rebuild healthy, normal interpersonal relationships and stay away from these human scum.

Xie Cheng's voice was firm: "I want to go. I'll attend with you."

This made Lan Xi extremely happy: "That's great!"

She really breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't expect everything to go so smoothly. Not only did Xie Cheng accept her princess identity quickly without any accusations or complaints about her concealment, he was even very proactive and willing to meet Mu Yi Star's citizens with her.

Since Xie Cheng was like this already, to repay his kindness, Lan Xi felt that it was also time to give Xie Cheng a formal title. Although she couldn't return to her home planet for the time being, at least at the reunion of Mu Yi Star people on Earth, she decided to formally introduce Xie Cheng and give Xie Cheng the title of consort in accordance with Earth customs!

**

After being reported to his wife by Xie Cheng, Wang Zhiqiang had a miserable time keeping a low profile for a while. Fortunately, thanks to his good performance recently, he was granted "parole" ahead of schedule, which finally allowed him to organize the long-awaited second Mu Yi Star alumni reunion.

Wang Zhiqiang thought it over and ultimately still decided to hold the second reunion at Jinlin Clubhouse. After all, the environment here was very private. Besides, Xie Cheng had already caught them once. It was said that after that time, he even wrote a report letter to the authorities with huge misunderstandings about Jinlin Clubhouse, completely putting Jinlin Clubhouse on the blacklist. He would definitely not come again no matter what.

Therefore, the most dangerous place was the safest place.

Wang Zhiqiang looked pained, "I saw it trending on the internet! They're saying Xie Cheng forced himself on you!"

Lan Xi was taken aback, raising her eyebrows in disbelief, "You can't possibly believe such an outrageous rumor!"

"Of course not! There are few in the universe who could force themselves on you!" Wang Zhiqiang said knowingly. He lowered his voice further, "Princess, rumors don't come from nothing. Did you force yourself on Xie Cheng?"

"Naturally, Xie Cheng is quite the looker for an earthling. I understand the princess losing her senses in the heat of passion and making this mistake. But the urgent thing is to figure out how to explain this to your fiancé, otherwise how's he going to feel when he sees the news? He's going to be jealous and cause trouble, destroying your relationship!" Here Wang Zhiqiang made a slashing motion across his throat, "Want me to take out Xie Cheng?"

Having said this, Wang Zhiqiang fawned obsequiously, "After it's done, don't forget to sing my praises in front of the king and queen..."

"As for your fiancé, since he's still on a work call, it means the environment at his company is no good, making him work overtime on weekends. Give me his resume and I'll arrange for him to join Cheng'an Group. That way you two can see each other day and night. It's perfect!"

Wang Zhiqiang felt he had planned everything perfectly. Just as he was about to continue smugly, he heard a familiar cold voice behind him —

"Who's taking me out?"

???

Wang Zhiqiang thought he was hearing things.

That was Xie Cheng's voice! What was he doing here?

This was the mu yi star people's second matchmaking and fiancé introduction meeting!

What was this guy here for? To crash another event? Or to protest with banners after the princess had forced herself on him?

But reality soon gave Wang Zhiqiang a resounding slap.

Xie Cheng slowly walked over from the corridor and stopped next to Lan Xi.

Cold sweat instantly poured down Wang Zhiqiang's forehead. Although Lan Xi was his mother planet's esteemed princess, his own wife was an earthling. He couldn't afford to offend Xie Cheng.

He hurriedly explained with an awkward laugh, "Boss Xie, I was just joking. This is a lawful society. It's not so easy to take someone out. I was just...just joking around with Lan Xi."

It wasn't a lie. Wang Zhiqiang was going to live long-term on Earth, so he naturally had to abide by laws. His plan for Xie Cheng was merely to find a mu yi star friend who could erase parts of an earthling's memories and wipe Xie Cheng's.

As he wiped his sweat, he pleaded to Lan Xi for help, "Prin...Lan Xi, what a coincidence for Boss Xie to be here today!"

Wang Zhiqiang desperately wracked his brains for how to gloss over the situation. But before he could think of something, reality gave him the second resounding slap of the day —

"Xie Cheng is my boyfriend," Lan Xi said, puzzled. "Didn't you keep clamoring to meet my fiancé? Well, here he is. I was about to say earlier that you actually know each other already..."

"..."

Heavens! Wang Zhiqiang couldn't help but cry out, "You took an earthling?! And you and Xie Cheng really have a thing?!"

At this moment, Wang Zhiqiang finally lost control of his emotions. He simply discarded all pretense, using telekinesis to grab a glass of water and guzzling it down.

But just as Wang Zhiqiang was still reeling, things went from bad to worse. He received a message from President Lin —

"Zhiqiang, we heard the princess is bringing her fiancé to the second matchmaking meeting today?! Why didn't you say so earlier! We're getting on in years and may be out of touch with you young folks, but as elders, we're experienced and perceptive. I specifically called on Old Zhang. Now that the princess has a suitor, shouldn't we have Old Zhang take a look?"

"We're on our way!"
