Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 174 Differentiated Competition

In the end, Ximen Lang still did not cross his moral bottom line and do anything extraordinary like playing both sides.

Instead, he held on to the moral bottom line with amazing perseverance.

Resolutely but not decisively, he rejected Xia Yiyi's direct shot with difficulty.

Even though his heart ached so much that it was about to bleed and tears were about to flow, Ximen Lang still persisted and was still stubborn!

"Yi Yi, your boss is not the person you think."

Xia Yiyi made it clear, but she didn't expect that Ximen Lang, a guy who almost had no will, still held on to the bottom line and didn't step out of line.

Suddenly, I had a different opinion of this lucky guy Ximen Lang.

If it was purely for the mission before, then this is why he would break his bottom line again and again and send out invitations continuously.

Now, there is at least a third of the truth.

Xia Yiyi really wanted to get to know Ximen Lang better, so her words became more sincere.

"No way, I'm a beauty after all. Even though I'm in this state, you can still be so heartless. Are you a man?"

"Of course I am"

"But who made me like a heartless man like you? I'm proud of you. So, my request is not high. Just spare three days a week to accompany me!"

"I'll decide what to do, but it won't violate your principles. Is that okay? That's all I ask, and you can agree to it, right?"

Ximen Lang was about to refuse
"If I remember correctly, Boss, you're planning to order a few Type 59 tanks, a few J-6 fighter jets, and more special equipment, right?"

"With so many restricted items, if you don't have someone knowledgeable and well-connected to help you manage them, Boss, I'm worried about you. What are you going to do next?"

"Do you threaten me?"

"Hey, my big boss, I'm trying to be nice to you, can't you see?"

He was afraid that Ximen Lang would think that he was really threatening him and would have a bad impression of him.

Xia Yiyi explained.

"I've always been a very competitive person. Whether it's academic performance or anything else, as long as it's within reasonable limits, I've never lost! I've gotten everything I wanted, without exception!"

"But just because she knew you a few days earlier than me, and was a step behind, you're guarding against me like a thief, not leaving me any chance at all. Why?! Am I any worse than her?!"

To be honest, Ximen Lang was prejudiced and critical in his judgment, no matter the appearance, figure, or talent.

No matter which aspect, Xia Yiyi in front of her is no worse than Bai Ling.

But it’s too late.

Even if it's just a few days late, it's still too late.

"I already have someone in my heart, and we're getting married soon. We're destined to have no future, you... you're a good girl, but..."

Xia Yiyi was accidentally given a good guy card by Ximen Lang, which almost drove her crazy.

Because I really couldn't accept it, I couldn't help but speak with some emotion.

I feel dissatisfied from the bottom of my heart.

"Does it mean she's right for you just because you have her in your heart? You're in the honeymoon phase now, and beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Of course, everything about her is good to you."

"What if the honeymoon period is over? What if you become bored? Will you still think she is the best, most perfect woman in the world?"

"Okay, even if she is, does that mean she is right for you? Is she really better than me?"

"Besides, my demands aren't high. I didn't ask you to break up with her. I just asked you to give me a fair chance."

"I've humbled myself to this extent, and you're still so heartless?"

Ximen Lang couldn't help but feel sad for Xia Yiyi after hearing such a heartfelt speech. What else could Ximen Lang say after she was like this?
What's more, I really need her now and can't live without her.

In such a situation, the Jade Emperor will forgive himself.

Bai Ling
"She will probably forgive me, right?"

Thinking this way, everything was fine, but Ximen Lang was particularly soft-hearted and didn't know how to refuse, so he finally gave up insisting.

Instead, he discussed it with Xia Yiyi.

"Three days is too long. You know I can't be away for that long. So, let's just do two days. Just to be clear, I'll only be with you during the day and night."

"Even if you want to, I will definitely kick you out!"

After another round of tug-of-war, the two sides finally reached a consensus.

Without telling Bai Ling, they agreed to spend at least two days a week with Xia Yiyi.

then
"It's better to do it now than today. Let's start today for two days this week. Come on, go shopping with me!"

Then, there is no further explanation.

I explained this to Ximen Lang.
"Don't worry, I will help you deal with each of these things."

After that, he pulled Ximen Lang, rode on Ximen Lang's Hutouben, and went straight to the nearest shopping mall.

Bai Ling suddenly felt as if there was something extra above her head, which made her feel a little uncomfortable. At the same time, the two of them spent most of the day in the mall.

Not only did Ximen Lang, who preferred quietness, become so tired from shopping that his legs became weak, but even Xia Yiyi, who suggested shopping, was exhausted.

She couldn't help but start complaining about the tireless men and women coming and going.

"How come these people don't feel tired? Look at that woman. She'd already been shopping for a while before we arrived. We've been shopping for most of the day, and she's still so energetic. Where does she get all the energy to shop for so long?"

Following Xia Yiyi's gaze, Ximen Lang couldn't help but glance at the woman.

It turns out that the woman is indeed brave and invincible, and tireless.

But the man following behind her.
It's almost unrecognizable!
Ximen Lang corrected.

"Yiyi, I have to say something for the man following behind her. Look at him, his calves are shaking with fatigue. Didn't you see anything?"

"What do you mean? Are you trying to get me to do something? If you don't want to accompany me, then don't. Bye!"

Having said that, he was about to get angry and get up to leave.

This slightly spoiled little personality really made Ximen Lang laugh and cry.

But there was not much disgust.

I even feel that this looks a bit like a young couple in love.

I quickly apologized to Xia Yiyi and asked her not to be angry.

As for Xia Yiyi, of course she couldn't be really angry.

She just keenly noticed that it was a bit novel that Ximen Lang was a little bit capricious about men and women, and felt that Bai Ling would definitely not be like that, so she tried to open up a new track and start differentiated competition with Bai Ling.

Seeing that it really worked, he was so happy that he boldly held Ximen Lang's arm.

Pulling the helpless Ximen Lang, a new round of battle began.

It was not until evening that Ximen Lang hurried back to the world of the courtyard.

Just opened the office door
"Are you hungry? I'll give you something to eat."
