Chapter 3788 A Beautiful Story

Hearing Lin Xiaojie's silence in the back, Zhao Chang'an said, "Let me ask her about this first, and then you can decide what to do after you get the results."

Seeing a breakfast shop ahead, he stopped the car and said to Lin Xiaojie, "Let's get out and get something to eat."

"I don't want to go down."

Lin Xiaojie blushed and said, "How about you buy me a bowl of hot dry noodles?"

"Shall I buy you another cup of soy milk?"

Lin Xiaojie bit her lower lip, wanting to bite this wicked man, and said, "I don't want to."

"If you don't want soy milk, then I'll give you a bowl of rice wine. People can't live without water. You can't stop drinking water just because you can't control your urination. What about people with prostate problems who can't urinate? Don't they all stop drinking water?"

Zhao Chang'an turned to look at Lin Xiaojie with concern, speaking with a righteous air.

Lin Xiaojie knew she couldn't win an argument with this shameless guy, so she rolled her eyes at him and turned her head to look out the car window, thinking to herself, "If I don't talk to you, you can't do anything about it, right?"

Unexpectedly, Zhao Chang'an suddenly reached out his large hand.

Zhao Chang'an then laughed heartily with satisfaction, opened the car door to buy breakfast, and Lin Xiaojie, both embarrassed and angry, watched his retreating figure outside the car, muttering under her breath, "You pervert!"

In that instant, Liu Shilin's face suddenly came to mind, and I felt a pang of pain in my heart.

With an indescribable sense of vengeful pleasure, she muttered to herself, "Are you happy to push me to other men's hands? Well then, I'll grant your wish. I'll be your Liu family's betrothed, and I'll make you wear a green hat!"

After so many years of upholding one's beliefs, it's not so easy to just give them up overnight. The so-called letting go is nothing more than self-deception under duress.

Her previous despair stemmed from the fact that during her trip to Zhengzhou, the girl's beauty, wealth, gentle personality, politeness, high education, and extensive knowledge made Lin Xiaojie feel inferior.

At the time, she was happy and proud that Liu Shilin had made such an outstanding classmate. As for the idea that the two of them would fall in love, Lin Xiaojie thought it was simply impossible.

First, she trusted her boyfriend; he was a true gentleman.

Furthermore, she didn't think that girl could be interested in Liu Shilin. During the two nights she stayed in that girl's dormitory, she personally witnessed a tall and handsome boy, who was said to be on the school basketball team, playing guitar downstairs and professing his love to her.

Although Liu Shilin was barely 1.7 meters tall and neither dark-skinned nor fat, he was far from handsome.

This breakup letter hit her so hard that she felt she was no match for that girl, which led her to take extreme measures out of anger and despair.

Now that Zhao Chang'an has said that, Lin Xiaojie, who has finally come to her senses, suspects that she may have really guessed wrong.

The car drove into the underground parking lot of the Optics Valley Hotel, which was almost empty with only a dozen or so cars parked inside. This hotel, which is directly under the Optics Valley Development Zone, was not doing very well to begin with, and this time it had suspended receiving external guests in order to receive visiting groups from European and American companies.

Two days ago, there were still some guests who hadn't checked out, but today, apart from the delegation of about twenty people, all the other rooms in the hotel are empty.

Zhao Chang'an and Lin Xiaojie got out of the car. Seeing her shivering from the cold in her cheongsam, he felt sorry for her and put his arm around her slender waist, leading her to the elevator. Lin Xiaojie rolled her eyes at Zhao Chang'an, but in reality, this elementary school teacher from a small town was also taken aback by the hotel's high-end atmosphere, feeling a sense of unease and awkwardness. It was Zhao Chang'an's seemingly unreasonable gesture that made her feel safe and secure.

I took the elevator upstairs, walked through the corridor, and entered Zhao Chang'an's suite without encountering a single person.

According to regulations, there should be a female attendant at the elevator entrance on each floor. However, it is already 6 a.m., so the female attendant on this floor should have gone to slack off, since under normal circumstances, there would be no guests walking around or making any requests at this time.

Stepping into the spacious, two-story suite, Lin Xiaojie was astonished by the luxury of the room as Zhao Chang'an turned on the huge ceiling light on the second floor, which hung more than a meter high and was said to cost twenty or thirty thousand yuan.

Zhao Chang'an drove to the lakeside next to the R&D center. The development zone had put a lot of thought into the roadside, building a boardwalk and railings by the lake, with a small pavilion sitting in the shallow water not far from the shore.

He sat for a while and then saw He Cai and Chu Yun drive over.

The three cars drove a few more miles and came to a desolate open space. This open space was planned to be a high school, but even if it were built now, it would be difficult to enroll students, so it was just left there, overgrown with weeds and vines.

On this quiet morning, the only sounds were faint noises from the closed windows and the shaking of the car as you approached it.

“I’ll take Lin Xiaojie to Zhengzhou. There aren’t many suitable positions for her here. The mobile phone factories and electric motorcycle factories in Zhengzhou are short of people, so it’s easy to arrange a job for her.”

"I think she's just average-looking, but of course, she's a kind girl and prettier than me and Chu Yun."

He Cai didn't quite understand why Zhao Chang'an was willing to spend so much energy on Lin Xiaojie.

"Her legs aren't as pretty as yours. Back then, Zhao Chang'an looked up at your legs from downstairs, and you even scolded him, but he still took it to heart. I think he just loves touching your legs."

Chu Yun said, "I don't think I'm uglier than her, and I know how to dress up and put on a good act."

"Pfft~"

He Cai said with a smile, "Yes, Miss Chu, you've been acting so charming for over a year now, I don't know how many men have fallen head over heels for you."

"I saved it, so it has to have a proper ending. Just like the goat I rescued on the road on New Year's Day, it's now being raised in Wenjia Village by Peach Blossom Lake. The village is even planning to develop the goat pen into a tourist attraction."

He Cai and Chu Yun both nodded in agreement with Zhao Chang'an's words. Many people witnessed him saving Lin Xiaojie at the time, and as Lin Xiaojie lives a better life in the future, this incident will become a beautiful story in Zhao Chang'an's legendary tales.

Zhao Chang'an wouldn't say it was because in his previous life, Li Shiya had shared a dormitory with him for a period of time, and at that time, Li Shiya had the audacity to want to introduce Lin Xiaojie to him.

However, Zhao Chang'an had never met Lin Xiaojie in his previous life, only knowing her name. In this life, Zhao Chang'an was already somewhat disgusted with Li Shiya. He didn't even know what would happen between him and Li Shiya in the future, or whether they would have any interaction or meet again.

Let's try to win over Lin Xiaojie first, since we can win her over then.

Wen Ye suggested that Zhao Chang'an use the principle of "a gentleman does not use tools" to artificially interfere with Lin Xiaojie's recovery. Lin Xiaojie did not understand the meaning of this sentence, but Zhao Chang'an did.

In two or three days, he will explain to her when the time is right that he kissed her lips and put his arm around her waist today, and she accepted it without resistance, which already shows Lin Xiaojie's attitude.

At least Zhao Chang'an could say, 'Wife, didn't you want to introduce Lin Xiaojie to me? I've done that.'

Thinking about it this way, even Zhao Chang'an himself felt that he was really a bit of a jerk!
