At this moment, William Parker had a head of jet-black, flowing hair, paired with casual sportswear, looking like a completely different person—handsome and sunny, drawing countless astonished glances from young girls. Even Emily Carter had to admit in her heart that William Parker was indeed extremely charming right now.
“Darling, aren’t we going back yet?” William Parker said to Emily Carter, who was darting around the giant mall. Emily Carter had already been shopping for two or three hours without a single break, buying more than ten pieces of clothing, yet she didn’t seem to have any intention of leaving.
Emily Carter seemed to accept William Parker’s way of addressing her, turning back with a smile and saying, “What’s the rush? I haven’t bought enough yet.”
“Oh!” Nodding, William Parker didn’t say anything else and continued to follow Emily Carter around, which made Emily Carter a bit frustrated. She secretly sighed at how good William Parker’s stamina was—he hadn’t even complained once. As for how William Parker had dodged her kick when they first met, Emily Carter simply ignored it, since the force she felt on her foot was very light, almost negligible, but just right. She naturally chalked it up to coincidence.
“Feng, what do you think of this outfit?” Emily Carter held up a pink jacket, comparing it against herself, and asked William Parker.
“My wife looks good in anything, but you look even better ‘wearing’ it at home.” William Parker suddenly switched to another form of address, and even deliberately raised his voice a bit.
“Ahem!” Emily Carter’s gaze froze. Seeing the pure, untainted look in his eyes, she cried out in her heart, “What kind of perverted scoundrel is this guy!” Was he really going home with her? But his expression didn’t look like it at all, and his flattery sounded so natural and harmonious, just right.
“Emily Carter!” Just then, a sudden, pleasant voice rang out. William Parker turned his gaze and saw a beautiful girl with a smiling face, short hair draped over her shoulders, looking very pure and lovely, her eyes wide open, watching Emily Carter with a half-smile.
“Xiaoyue!” When Emily Carter saw who it was and noticed the half-smiling look in her eyes, her face instantly turned red. Now, even if she jumped into the Yellow River, she couldn’t wash herself clean.
“Emily Carter, when did you get a boyfriend? And you even kept it from everyone—so unfair.” The girl’s beautiful eyes sparkled with laughter. Seeing William Parker’s handsome looks, she was secretly amazed. No wonder the picky Emily Carter would become his girlfriend.
“Xiaoyue, this pervert is not my boyfriend, he’s—” Emily Carter hurriedly began, but didn’t know how to explain her relationship with William Parker. She couldn’t help but glance at William Parker, hoping he would say something.
William Parker sighed inwardly. Girls really could change their attitude fast—just a moment ago she was calling him “darling,” and now he was a pervert. Still, William Parker gave the girl a sunny smile and said, “Hello, my name is William Parker, and she really isn’t my girlfriend.”
Hearing William Parker’s words, Emily Carter breathed a slight sigh of relief. If her friends paired her up with this pervert, she’d go crazy. She’d wanted to tease William Parker, but hadn’t expected his stamina to be so good, not inferior to her own as a trained martial artist. She hadn’t managed to tease William Parker, and now it had backfired.
“Emily Carter is my fiancée.” Then, William Parker added another sentence, instantly freezing the smile that had just appeared on Emily Carter’s face.
“Fiancée!” the girl exclaimed, her big eyes darting between William Parker and Emily Carter. Emily Carter, who ranked in the top ten of Jinghua University’s campus beauties, already had a fiancé? If this news spread at Jinghua University, who knew how many boys would be heartbroken, or how many would come after William Parker.

“William Parker, you pervert, make yourself clear—who’s your fiancée?” Emily Carter glared at William Parker with wide, fierce eyes, as if she’d attack him if he dared say yes.
“Fiancée, pervert?” Lily Morgan was completely confused by Emily Carter and William Parker. Not long ago, the two were acting all lovey-dovey, but as soon as she appeared, Emily Carter’s attitude did a complete 180. Could it be that Emily Carter didn’t want others to know she had a fiancé? Considering this possibility, Lily Morgan nodded in deep agreement, smiling at Emily Carter.
“You are my fiancée.” William Parker’s eyes were still as pure as ever as he looked at Emily Carter and said, “Uncle Hai already said it—he’s leaving you in my care from now on. Besides, so what if I saw my own fiancée’s body? Is that any reason to call me a pervert?”
Hearing William Parker’s words, Lily Morgan stood there in a daze, staring blankly at William Parker. That simple, innocent look made people instinctively believe him. What shocked Lily Morgan the most was that William Parker was not only Emily Carter’s fiancé, but had even seen her body.
William Parker didn’t lower his voice, so the eyes of the crowd in the big mall instantly fell on Emily Carter, especially many men. Seeing Emily Carter’s devilish figure and angelic face, they were practically drooling.
As for Emily Carter, her face instantly flushed red, all the way to her ears. At this moment, she wished she could find a hole to crawl into. It was just too embarrassing, and yet William Parker was being shameless with such confidence!
“William Parker, you bastard!” Throwing aside the clothes in her hand, Emily Carter ran straight out of the mall. She couldn’t bear to stay there any longer, and William Parker and Lily Morgan both followed after her.
