Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 870

Leo hopped out of the car, grinning as he reached out for his girlfriend's hand. Who knew parking a car could make her so happy? If he ever learned to fly a plane, Anya might just float up into the clouds with excitement.

Anya eagerly slipped her hand into his, snuggling up to him with a soft smile. "Chad, there's this place here that serves the most amazing shrimp sliders."

Leo took a moment to scan the bustling crowd, a jumble of all sorts of people, and commented, "I never pictured you hanging out in a place like this." Usually, messy spots at night were food streets, and the chaotic ones were packed with bars.

Luckily, Ms. Anya had brought him to a food street.

Anya was straight-up honest, "Chad, you got so many gifts for my folks, you must be running low on cash. All your credit cards are with me, too. We can't hit up fancy restaurants, but food streets are fun, and there's lots to choose from. Plus, Chad, you’ll hold my hand." She lifted their joined hands to emphasize her point.

Leo chuckled, "Aren't you worried your boyfriend might get mad if you say he's broke?"

"Chad's not like that. Your only flaw is being a total straight shooter."

Still laughing, Leo replied, "Your taste must be off, falling for a straight shooter like me."

As they entered the lively food street, it was clear that Anya, in her simple white dress, with her beautiful face and soft voice, clinging to her boyfriend's side, was the picture-perfect girlfriend that caught everyone's eye.

While waiting in line, plenty of people couldn't resist sneaking glances at Anya.

Noticing the attention, Leo casually draped his arm over Anya's shoulder and took her bag, holding it in his free hand. He leaned in closer, giving her cheek a playful squeeze, "Close your eyes, I owe you a kiss."

Anya playfully protested, "Chad!"

Leo chuckled, gently pinching Anya's cheek before leaning in for a quick peck on her lips.

Anya's face went as red as a tomato: In the middle of all these people, Chad just kissed her!

Satisfied, Leo glanced around after the kiss and noticed that no one was staring at his Ms. Anya anymore.

"Hey, wipe your lipstick off my lips."

Anya, ever the honest one, replied, "There's nothing there. You barely kissed me!"

Leo teased, "Well then, when we find a quieter spot, I'll make it count."

Blushing furiously, Anya squeaked, "Chad!"

Leo laughed, clearly in high spirits.

Just as they were about to head to Anya's recommended spot, a voice called out, "Anya!"

Turning around, Anya spotted the caller, "Bubble, it's you! You're here too!"

A girl approached, eyeing the man beside her friend, "Who's this?"

"This is Chad," Anya proudly introduced, pulling Leo closer. "Chad just parked the car in a spot no one else could manage. He just twisted the wheel a couple of times and nailed it."

Anya shook her head confidently, "No, Chad. It's not about chasing after you or anything shady. They just want to know you, to have something to boast about later. If they hit it off, maybe they could even collaborate with the Cedillo Group down the road. You could be a topic of conversation.

I can't speak for everyone, but my friends are good people. In our circles, it's common for parents to encourage networking at events, which I get."

Leo hugged his treasure of a girlfriend, "And if your friends get mad at you for not introducing us?"

"They won't. I turned them down in a way that doesn't leave room for complaints. If they really need Chad's help, I'll be the one to connect them. There's no need for them to approach my boyfriend directly. Besides," Anya glanced at her boyfriend cautiously, whispering, "Chad, you don't plan on getting involved with Cedillo Inc. anyway. Adding you as a contact would be pointless."

Leo intended to completely separate from the Cedillo Group, often jokingly expressing his true feelings, "Cedillo Inc. can go to the little chub or the little dumpling." "Henry, you take over the company, and you can support me, okay?"

He would also frequently tease Henry in private, "Remember to support your brother when you're the boss." "Make sure you want your dad's company."

Everyone thought he was joking until it became obvious he had long intended to leave the company to his brother, a path he wouldn't follow.

Spotting a quiet alleyway, Leo wrapped his arm around Anya's neck and swiftly guided her into the secluded nook, where the dim light and absence of people left Anya momentarily stunned.

With a gentle nudge from Chad, Anya leaned back against the wall. Leo, lowering his head, wrapped his long arm around her waist, while his other hand cradled her head. He then leaned down and captured her lips in a deep kiss.

Unafraid of losing a few seconds of life, he delved into the kiss, prying her lips open with the tip of his tongue.

In the dim corner, where many hidden moments unfold, Leo had seen couples steal kisses in secret spots before. He used to scoff at such scenes, never imagining he'd one day be starring in one with his own girlfriend.

His kiss was intense, leaving Anya speechless. A passerby caught sight of them but quickly diverted their path and walked on.
