“Actually, it’s not what you think it is. I just feel that he has been single for so long and I’ve had a long life. It also happens that Muzi is my idol, so I simply asked him if he is willing to give me a chance.”
Yan was rendered speechless as she opened her mouth in shock. “You can do that?”
Yan’s cute reaction immediately amused Lin Xinghuo, who covered her mouth and laughed for a while. “Yan, you are really adorable. Why can’t I do that? I was already not expecting much, so the worse is that I’ll only get rejected. Also, it’s so difficult to meet a good man like Han Qing. I initially thought that you two are a couple, but it looks like you’re not. Good luck then.”
Yan remained quiet. “Good luck? Good luck on what?”
“Good luck on being his girlfriend!”
Yan still remained silent.
“I believe that you’ll have a better shot than me, but you must work hard and don’t give up.”
There isn’t any chance now. Even though Yan refused to share more on her earlier conversation with Han Qing to Lin Xinghuo, Han Qing had never said anything at all. Yan was the one who spoke until someone showed up and scared her away. I really have let myself down. Useless. “Stop saying it. It’s impossible.”
Seeing Yan’s depressive look, Lin Xinghuo wanted to ask, Did Yan actually see Han Qing’s expression toward her? But when Lin Xinghuo was about to form the words in her mouth, she thought, It won’t be interesting if I say it directly. It’d be more interesting if she finds out herself. “I’ll still support you anyway. Good luck.” With that, Lin Xinghuo left smiling.
Then, Yan continued to sip her juice in a gloomy mood, surprised to find out that Lin Xinghuo confessed to him so that the latter could become a family with Han Muzi. However, she is right. There aren’t many outstanding men out there like Han Qing, so it’s normal for me to see him as a target. After that, she ate and drank as much as she could during the remaining hours of the party. She felt uncomfortable with her swollen belly by the time the party was over. Due to Yan’s good relationship with Han Muzi, the former stayed back to assist with cleaning up while the guests slowly left the villa.
However, before Yan could do anything, the servants snatched the tasks from her. One of them said to her, “Ms. Zhou, you are our guest here tonight. Please have a rest. We will take it from here.”
“Ah.” Yan’s belly was swollen as she nodded. “Alright. I’ll sit down for a while. Thank you for your hard work.”
When she sat on the couch, she never cared about her image. The next second when Han Qing showed up within her view, his presence forced her to immediately rush like a student lying on the desk straightening her body when she saw the class teacher.
Yan lay back down the moment he was gone. As she lay there uncomfortably, a familiar figure suddenly showed up. It was Xiao Su whom she hadn’t seen at the party for the whole night. She quickly waved when she saw him.
Xiao Su entered the place and his eyes darted in various directions, as if he was in search of something. When he spotted Yan, she was waving toward him, so he quirked up his lips slightly before walking to her. Seeing her weak expression, he bent down and asked, “Are you drunk?”
Yan shook her head. “No, how could I be drunk?” The way she carried herself back then when she was drunk terrified both of them, so she was smart enough to remain sober at this occasion. “I wanted to ask you where you’ve been the whole night.”
Xiao Su raised his brow, surprised that she asked where he went. “Young Master Ye ordered me to do something. Now that I’m done, the party has ended. Do you want me to send you home?” Even though it was a question, Xiao Su already grabbed Yan’s fine wrist before he helped her to her feet and she stood up, staggering from side to side. Seeing her like this made Xiao Su laugh. “Since you didn’t drink any alcohol, why are you behaving like you are drunk?”
“It’s because I ate too much just now.” Yan caressed her belly while her face adopted the shade of green. “It’s now swelling up.”
Xiao Su was rendered speechless. I can’t believe it’s because she ate that much. After a moment of silence, he helped her out of the place. “I’ll buy some indigestive tablets for you on the way when I send you home.” Lately, Xiao Su had helped Yan at her shop on a daily basis, which improved their relationship to the point where she was no longer reluctant of him being close to her.
“Is it convenient for you to drop me off? You can send me if it’s convenient, but if it’s not, I can take a cab straight to the ground floor of my home. It’s pretty easy.”
“It’s convenient,” he answered. “How could it be inconvenient?”
Yan was rendered speechless as she really wanted to bite her tongue off. Why do I always stab myself? I know clearly that… She let out a gentle cough before pushing him away and stood her ground. “Fine. I’ll take a cab home myself. You don’t need to send me.” With that, Yan walked out in a hurry. Xiao Su’s eyes darkened and he followed her immediately. He had recently uploaded a query on the Internet on how to chase a girl and roughly explained his situation in the commentary section. The netizens suggested a lot of ideas in response.
‘You can use your money on her by buying her gifts or anything until her hands can’t cope. As the saying goes, a man who spends money on you may not love you, but a man who doesn’t spend money on you definitely doesn’t like you!’
‘You can use your heart to change her. You need to show up all the time and by her side, regardless of whether she is sad or happy and support her when she is in trouble. After a while, the girl will start to rely on you. You’re already halfway to success by that time. Then, you should play cat and mouse with her, which will lead to her falling right in your hands afterward.’
‘You can try pushing it on her by forcing a kiss on her or go to bed with her. If you don’t show your dominant side, she won’t look at you.’
When Xiao Su saw that last comment, he immediately denied that suggestion. How can I do that before we are sure about our relationship? How would that make me any different from a scoundrel? Therefore, he reported the person who wrote that comment and soon after, the person’s account was blocked due to the use of inappropriate words.
However, the person quickly returned and opened another account to comment under his post—‘Bro, can’t I give you an idea? You don’t need to do this. Just don’t use my idea if you can’t accept it. Why do you need to report me?’
Then, Xiao Su replied to him coldly, ‘Posting an unhealthy comment will urge others to commit a crime.’
The person felt that Xiao Su was being unfair. Actually, Xiao Su never felt that he was being unjust to that person because the latter’s idea was really terrifying. After browsing through the list of suggested ideas, Xiao Su thought about it and came to the conclusion that the second idea was more suitable for him. According to Yan’s character, she won’t be easily moved by a gift. The hardest part is that she still has that someone in her heart. If I want her to accept me, I probably need her to be comfortable with my presence. Then, I will have the chance of getting her.
When Yan ran outside, she took out her phone to call a cab while looking behind, realizing that Xiao Su never chased after her. As she let out a sigh of relief, a silver Bentley stopped in front of her. The car window was then lowered to reveal the side of Han Qing’s cold face.
