Seriously, How Did He Win My Heart
Chapter 660 Drenched

Sylvie was still angry even after she got in the car with Lucien. Lucien turned to look at the mad little girl and said after much pondering, "It's okay. He is not wrong. Aren't we boyfriend and girlfriend now?" Seeing that she looked unpleasantly shocked, Lucien added, "Faked, of course."

Sylvie heaved a sigh of relief. She thought the fake dating trope was over after she helped him get rid of Melanie's pestering. That was why what Lucien just said kind of startled her. Then, she started complaining, "But Andrew is so annoying! I just hate seeing him."

Sylvie was telling the truth. Somehow, she just disliked Andrew from the first day she joined the crew with Nina. However, she couldn't show her feelings that much due to her work. This time, he really drove her mad.

Lucien recalled Andrew's malicious stare and thought that Sylvie didn't feel that way about Andrew for no reason.

However, he didn't tell Sylvie about that for the time being." If you don't like him, stay away from him. Or, you can do what you did just now."

Sylvie sighed, "Easy for you to say. What if he fires me from the crew? I still have to earn a living."

Although Nina would protect her if anything happened, Sylvie didn't want to trouble Nina. After all, Nina and Andrew still had to work on the TV series together. She couldn't sour their relationship just because she didn't like Andrew.

Lucien stared at her and said solemnly, "Don't worry. I won't let anything happen to you. I'm your nominal boyfriend, remember?" Sylvie glanced at him in surprise, then casually brushed it off. "Forget about it. It's not him. It's me. He didn't do anything out of line" Lucien pursed his lips, then turned to the driver and told him to start the car.

He really wanted to help her out. He wanted Sylvie to do whatever she felt like without thinking about the consequences.

He wanted Sylvie to know that she didn't hate Andrew for no reason. She felt that way because Andrew had been leering at her.

The second they arrived at the restaurant, Lucien received a message from Nina, "Sylvie probably never thought about the possibility of being together with you because she thinks there is a huge gap between you two. You have to convince her that you are not that different from her."

Lucien had also realized that Sylvie merely treated him as a friend and didn't see him as a potential date. Even if he had already proposed to fake date with her, she still had no clue.

"Thanks." Lucien typed back, then put his phone away.

Sylvie was in a simple and clean T-shirt, wearing light makeup. She stared at the menu and smiled, obviously delighted after seeing all those delicious foods.

He gazed at the girl and his feelings for her grew even stronger. He could have all the money in the world. But, deep down, he knew he just want to be with someone who soothed him and made him feel belonged.

There was just something magical about this girl.

Taking Nina's advice, Lucien focused on talking about his experience growing up, including how poor his family was, how he got into a work-study program in college, and how he juggled a couple of part-time jobs when he was studying abroad.

Then, he went on to talk about how he founded Camcien Lifetech with Cameron. They had a hard time at the very beginning. Cameron chose not to rely on his family's connections in the academic community. So, the two literally started from scratch.

They were turned down countless times. Numerous people had given them cold shoulders. But it didn't stop them from working tirelessly to establish the company.

Sylvie was shocked. She never thought that there was such a dark past behind their glory.

Lucien continued, "I'm just an ordinary man who happens to be slightly better at something."

Sylvie replied, "Are you humble-bragging? Slightly better? Do you have some misunderstanding about the definition of 'slightly'? You outshine 90% of people in this world." With that, Sylvie gave him a depressed stare.

Lucien chuckled and said, "Your job must be interesting. Running around on the set every day and witnessing the production of a TV series."

Sylvie nodded as she ate. "Yeah. And I get to see so many handsome actors and gorgeous actresses every day. That's a plus."

Lucien didn't respond.

"Well, they say seeing beautiful things can make one feel good. People's mood is a determining factor in their health. I think I might be the healthiest person in this world." Sylvie laughed, trying to smooth things out.

Lucien was amused by her clever remark.

He then chatted about his parents, saying that they didn't care about the family background of his future spouse.

Sylvie said in surprise, "You are one of the mist eligible bachelors in Riverside City. Your parents will want you to marry a beautiful and outstanding girl, won't they? The kind that attracts everyone's attention?" They would be a perfect match. Just like Nina and Cameron.

"Everyone has different definitions of beauty and excellence. The girl I like is the most beautiful and excellent in my eyes,"

Lucien stared at Sylvie as he said. Sylvie blushed.

Why did she feel like he was saying that to her?

She smiled and averted his gaze to hide her embarrassment.

Sylvie knocked on Nina's door at around 9 p.m.

Nina opened the door to see Sylvie wrapped in a thin blanket. Nina let her in and asked in puzzlement, "What happened? What's with this blanket?"

Sylvie said in chagrin, "Don't even get me started. When we were at the parking lot, a guy accidentally bumped into me. The water in his hand spilled all over me. Lucien grabbed the blanket and wrapped it around me."

It was mid-summer. Lucien only wore a shirt and didn't bring a coat for Sylvie to put on. Sylvie's white shirt was drenched by the water. The area around her chest almost became transparent. That was why he insisted on giving her the blanket.

At the thought of that, Sylvie blushed.

Nina lifted the blanket and burst out laughing. "This is no better than the button-up I wanted you to wear." Lucien must have seen everything. The drenched shirt veiling over her bare skin only added all extra layer of allure to it.

Sylvie stamped her feet in embarrassment, "Why is this happening to me! Is that guy blind? It's so awkward!"☐☐☐☐☐
