“Freya, is this… your boyfriend?” Everyone was stunned.“Yeah. Can’t all of you recognize me?” Ryan wore a gentle and friendly smile.All the women on the spot blushed, and their hearts were pounding. Even the older women were no exception.After all, everyone was aware that the man standing before them was the prime minister’s son. They had come across those in wealthy families who were all condescending people.Even Shaun, who always came to pick Catherine up, looked serious. He would only soften when he saw her.However, Ryan was amicable and did not put on airs despite having an unusual identity. Above all, he was… really handsome.“Ahem. Young Master Snow, you always wore a mask every time you came. We’ve never taken a good look at your face before.”Mrs. Grace spoke frankly. Most importantly, Ryan always dressed maturely, so those women thought Freya’s mysterious boyfriend was in his 30s.“I’ve wanted to take off my mask for a long time, but someone didn’t allow me to do
“It’s still early. Both of you can go on a date,” Professor Xavier said with a grin. “Freya, your boyfriend is wonderful. Please bring him over to my place for a meal next time.”Freya secretly sighed. Aside from work, not many could mingle with 50-year-old Professor Xavier, but Ryan was an exception.After seeing everyone off, Freya harrumphed and jogged the man beside her with her elbow. “Not bad. All the women are fond of you, including my 20-year-old assistant and a 50-year-old woman. Ryan, you have quite the skill.”“It’s because they’re your colleagues.” Ryan wrapped his hand around her waist intimately. “I’m usually quite aloof in social functions, but I acted that way today for your sake. Anyway, your colleagues are pretty nice. Those who deal with research aren’t so scheming.”“That’s because I didn’t invite those ones for dinner.” Freya leaned in his arms and snorted. “You’ve saved quite a few young women’s numbers today, but you’re not allowed to chat with them.”Ryan t
“...”The woman pushed Ryan away with her hand. Freya gazed at the handsome face before her, speechless. She did not understand how a person could become so brazen. “Don’t you feel embarrassed?” “My pride is nothing compared to my girlfriend. I’ll tell Mrs. Lynch that I’ll sleep in the guest room. When midnight comes, I’ll secretly sneak into your room…”Freya’s scalp tingled. Experiencing it once was memorable enough, and she did not want to go through it again. “Alright, stop talking. I’ll be with you tonight. Happy?”“That’s a good girl.”Ryan kissed Freya’s forehead. After having his way, he had a smile on his dashing face. Freya cocked her head to one side as she realized Ryan’s demeanor seemed more relaxed than before. “Why are you looking at me like that?” Ryan’s gaze landed on her slightly swollen, red lips. He started getting eager again.“You cut your hair.” Freya touched his neat, short hair nonchalantly and said with a smile, “You even dress quite young now, like
“She’s so pretty. It’s a shame that she’s not a celebrity. However, she looks quite familiar. Could she be a celebrity?” The man suddenly started gossiping. “Oh, there’s no way.” Ryan pretended to be surprised. “Celebrities will surely wear masks.”“You have a point there.”Freya was completely unaware that many young men were eyeing her while she sat in the beverage store. She was sitting on the chair and scrolling through her phone leisurely. At that moment, she truly realized the advantage of having a boyfriend.She would have had to queue up foolishly if she wanted to have ice cream.“Hey girl, can I have your number?” Suddenly, a tall guy stood in front of her, looking at her shyly. Freya was taken aback. She had not been hit on for a long time.“Excuse me. She already has a boyfriend.” Ryan gave a gentle reminder as he came over with an ice cream in hand. The man’s handsome face blushed. “I’m sorry. I thought…”After he spoke, he bowed and walked away awkwardly.
Ryan gazed at Freya’s smiling expression. He felt as though the sweetness of the ice cream in his mouth had traveled to the bottom of his heart.The long-overdue love was wonderful. In the past, he had worked hard and made an effort to mature himself in order to fulfill his parents’ wishes. At that moment, he felt as if he had found a clear goal to work hard for. Next, Freya and Ryan went inside the mall to buy shoes.Freya needed a pair of running shoes. After getting shoes, she needed to get a training outfit too.Exercising was essential for women to maintain a youthful, pretty figure. Although her enthusiasm was mostly short-lived, she still had to have complete equipment. After picking things out for herself, she picked a matching pair for Ryan.There were quite a few bags in Ryan’s hands when they exited the store. He suggested, “You’ll be sleeping at my place tonight. Do you want to buy a set of pajamas and a change of clothes for tomorrow morning?”Freya agreed. La
Freya warned with a harrumph. “By the way, I still have to go to the supermarket to buy some food.”“Before that, can I place the things in the car?” Ryan asked nervously.…At 10:00 p.m., Ryan drove his car that was filled with newly-bought items.After Freya entered the house, Ryan was still moving the things into the elevator. There was no helping it. There was just too much stuff.Freya turned on the living room lights. Nothing much had changed. However, many things had been added to the study and master bedroom. The fridge was also filled with ingredients like milk, eggs, and meat.It was obvious that her boyfriend was good at living his life.“Boss, are you satisfied?” Ryan found it funny. Freya immediately started looking around after she entered, looking exactly like a boss.“It’s acceptable.”After Freya spoke, her slender body was lifted in a princess style. She was brought to the bedroom.She exclaimed and started struggling, “Put me down, Ryan.”“No.”The man
Freya was tired. She did not want to move, and she did not think of looking for Ryan.She knew that he would surely still be in the house.She was just unsure what time it was.Freya got up and found her phone. When she looked at the time, she was surprised.It was already 9:00 a.m.She had missed the time to go to work and was late. Oh no.Freya dialed Catherine’s number. “Dear President Jones, I’m sorry. I have some matters that cropped up at the last minute, so I’m taking the morning off.”“It’s okay. I had already predicted that you might be too tired to get out of bed.” Catherine’s laughing voice rang out. “Not just me, but everyone in the company should be able to understand.”“...What do you mean?” Freya had a bad feeling.“Looks like you were too tired and just woke up,” Catherine said softly. “Haven’t you seen this morning’s entertainment news? You and Ryan shopping for household items to live together have made it to the trending topics.”“...”Freya’s head buzzed.
“Ahem. Mom, about this… The one who’s at a disadvantage is Ryan,” Freya whispered. “If someone has to be worried, it’d be his mom.”“...”Listening to such shameless words, what could Mrs. Lynch still say?However… thinking about it, Freya’s words did make some sense.“Are you two really going to live together?” Mrs. Lynch asked after she calmed down. “No. Ryan just moved out of the official residence. We haven’t spent time with just the two of us for so long…” Freya said sheepishly. “I’ll still live at home. Sometimes, keeping a distance is a good thing.”“Fair enough. I won’t agree with you two living together before getting married,” Mrs. Lynch said furiously. “But you’d better be careful. Don’t get pregnant before marriage.”“I know.”After hanging up, Freya’s face was burning.She felt so ashamed.“Babe, come and have breakfast.”Ryan pushed the door open all of a sudden. He was wearing off-white casual clothes. There was a warm, doting smile on his face. “I made panca
