At noon the next day, at the Forever Love Couple Hotel in Love God City.
This was the most famous wedding venue in Love God City, where couples made vows of everlasting commitment almost every day.
Shen Lan Ni had arrived at the hotel entrance early to help her best friend set up the venue. However, she felt a bit uneasy.
In fact, she didn't know what was going on. If it weren't for the morning text message reminding her, she would have probably forgotten that she had booked a "DD Single Departure" service last night.
"Will someone really come?"
"It must be fake, how could a boyfriend possibly appear in my life? Even a rented one is unlikely."
Time ticked by, and relatives and friends began to arrive. Feeling restless, Shen Lan Ni was about to go outside for some fresh air.
As soon as she stepped out of the venue, Shen Lan Ni saw a familiar figure getting out of a taxi, looking around as if searching for someone.
"Ren Yuan Hao? Why isn't he at work, what's he doing here?"
Seeing Ren Yuan Hao here, Shen Lan Ni felt a bit confused and also angry at him for skipping work. Just as she was about to go over and question him, she suddenly heard someone cry for help.
"Help! Someone's robbing me!"
The girl fell to the ground, crying out helplessly. The thief who snatched her bag, a shifty-looking man, ran right past Shen Lan Ni, desperately trying to escape into a nearby alley.
Seeing this, Shen Lan Ni knew this wouldn't do. She immediately kicked off her high heels and gave chase. She had handled many such street thief apprehensions before; she was skilled and accustomed to it, and no one reacted faster than her.
However, to her surprise, a figure suddenly overtook her and accurately kicked the thief in the back. The thief yelped and fell face-first, only to be apprehended by the surrounding crowd.
Witnessing this, Shen Lan Ni was quite surprised. After all, there weren't many people who reacted faster than her, a Taekwondo champion, even if it was a man.
Shen Lan Ni waited with interest for the person to turn around. But when the person finally turned and she saw them clearly, Shen Lan Ni's jaw almost dropped.
"Ren Yuan Hao?! How is this possible?"
Ren Yuan Hao was still pleased with his transformation, finding the "Martial Arts Proficiency" skill so useful. He hadn't noticed Shen Lan Ni at all.
When he walked a few steps and found someone blocking his way, he finally looked up and saw Shen Lan Ni. His heart sank.
"My first time skipping work and I run into my boss. It's over, I'm doomed!"
Before he could even feel happy, a bucket of cold water was poured over Ren Yuan Hao's head. As he was trying to figure out what excuse to use, the system's voice suddenly sounded—
"Congratulations to the host for successfully accepting customer: Shen Lan Ni. Please complete the order according to the requirements. You will be punished by the system if you try to escape."
Immediately after, a prompt box, visible only to Ren Yuan Hao, appeared, displaying the employer's information.
Name: Shen Lan Ni
Gender: Female
Age: 27
Occupation: Owner of Lan Ni Taekwondo Hall
Relationship experience: None
...
The moment he saw the mission prompt box, Ren Yuan Hao had the urge to tear the system apart.
He roared internally, "Damn it, you can't play with me like this! The first person in my order is my notoriously fierce boss!"
"System, can we switch to someone else?" Ren Yuan Hao asked with a bitter smile in his heart.
The loli-voiced system replied, "The host currently has no points and cannot cancel the mission..."
Alas, for his future, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and go through with it!
Shen Lan Ni's mood was understandable. On one hand, there was Ren Yuan Hao skipping work. On the other, there was his recent display of skill… Wasn't he an accountant? How could that move be on par with a true martial arts master?
However, Shen Lan Ni was still his boss. Even if she was suspicious, she couldn't show it, or she would lose her authority as a boss.
Shen Lan Ni pretended to be stern, preparing to reprimand him, but her phone suddenly vibrated. A text message, which she had almost forgotten, came in.
[Your assigned customer has arrived at the designated location. We wish you a happy single departure. DD Single Departure opens a golden path for your journey to find love. Reply 'td' to unsubscribe.]
"Huh? That thing is actually real? But where is he? Why haven't I seen him?"
Shen Lan Ni's heart leaped with joy. After waiting for so many years, she could finally find someone! Even if he was rented, she was still excited.
As for Ren Yuan Hao? She had completely forgotten about him. However, just as her mind was filled with thoughts of her perfect boyfriend, a pair of hands suddenly encircled her waist.
"Hello, customer. DD Single Departure is at your service. I am your agent, Ren Yuan Hao."
"Ah?!"
