Chapter 202: Get Lost
Li Ziyu sensed that the atmosphere was somewhat off. She felt a bit embarrassed, but since Jiang Ruoxi insisted on apologizing, she couldn’t refuse. So, she had to stiffly suggest, “Now that everyone is here, shall we start the meal?”
Su Lin nodded, “Sure~!!”
After sitting down, Su Lin felt someone bump his arm and looked puzzledly at Lin Xiaowan, “What’s wrong, Xiaowan?”
Lin Xiaowan glanced at Jiang Ruoxi then asked, “Isn’t she Ziyu’s classmate? How do you know her? You two seem quite familiar. She’s not going to be another sister, is she?”
Xia Shiyu and Zhao Yanyan, both sharp listeners, could hear them despite the low voices. Hearing Lin Xiaowan’s words, they both seemed to find it amusing, sneakily watching Su Lin and Lin Xiaowan.
“Cough cough… Xiaowan, you’ve really wronged me this time. I’ve only just met her yesterday. Then, there was a bit of a conflict with Xiao Feiyu, and she came to apologize today,” Su Lin explained.
Lin Xiaowan believed Su Lin’s explanation because even if he truly had another girlfriend, she would just sulk for a bit and then get over it. Su Lin had no reason to lie.
“Oh? The Jiang family of Mo City is not a small clan, and Jiang Ruoxi is so beautiful. Didn’t you feel a little bit tempted?” Lin Xiaowan asked Su Lin with a teasing smile.
Su Lin responded, “You know me; I’ve seen plenty of beautiful women, and I don’t choose a girlfriend based solely on looks.”
“Hehe, I’m afraid she meets all your criteria,” Lin Xiaowan said slyly.
Su Lin smiled bitterly, “Anyway, there’s nothing between us now. As for the future, who knows. Besides, she already has a fiancé.”
Lin Xiaowan glanced at Xiao Feiyu, who was secretly observing Li Ziyu, and frowned, “Why is Xiao Feiyu always staring at Sister Ziyu?”
Su Lin raised an eyebrow, “Not sure, he must be up to something.”
“Tsk tsk… He’s eyeing your women,” Lin Xiaowan joked.
Su Lin playfully pinched Lin Xiaowan’s thigh. “Enough with the jokes. Ziyu is so beautiful, isn’t it normal for people to take a second look?”
Lin Xiaowan glared at Su Lin, thinking he was far too bold, daring to make such moves at this time.
Although their voices were low, their constant whispering was somewhat intolerable for Li Ziyu, “Hey Xiaowan, there are others here, can you two tone it down?”
Instead of toning it down, Su Lin began to serve food onto Lin Xiaowan’s plate, “Xiaowan, you’ve lost weight recently, eat more.”
Lin Xiaowan mimicked him and served Su Lin, “Su Lin, you eat too.”
Then she winked at Li Ziyu, “Sister Ziyu, are we disturbing your meal?”
Su Lin laughed and also served Xia Shiyu and Zhao Yanyan.
Li Ziyu commented, “Su Lin, you really do treat everyone equally, not missing a beat.”
“Cough cough… I want to ask, are all three of you really Su Lin’s girlfriends?” Jiang Ruoxi asked curiously.
Through her observation, Xia Shiyu, Zhao Yanyan, and Lin Xiaowan were not frivolous women. They were beautiful, classy, polite, and all seemed to like Su Lin, playing along with him.
And then there’s Li Ziyu, who, despite not admitting it, clearly cared a lot for Su Lin. At this point, she was curious what attracted them to Su Lin.
The women nodded in unison, and Su Lin asked, “Ruoxi, are you curious?”
Jiang Ruoxi nodded, “Indeed, I am curious. Although you are handsome, wealthy, have a good demeanor, and are a martial artist, that doesn’t mean you could win their favor. So, I’m curious, Xiaowan, what exactly do you like about Su Lin?”
Lin Xiaowan thought for a moment then sighed, “I think I was deceived by Su Lin. By the time I realized it, it was too late.”
“And you, Xiaoyu?”
“Su Lin is great. Ruoxi, if you spend more time with Su Lin, you’ll understand. Su Lin really is the perfect man, hehe.”
Xia Shiyu’s words made Xiao Feiyu internally scoff. All this and still perfect?
“And you, Yanyan?”
Thinking about her initial attraction to Su Lin, Yanyan felt a bit shy admitting, “I’m just a face chaser, and then he deceived me.”
After saying that, Lin Xiaowan gave Su Lin a glare.
Su Lin felt somewhat helpless. Why glare at me for no reason?
At that moment, Xiao Feiyu’s eyes lit up. He had noticed Zhao Yanyan early on; those long legs were something he’d die happily for.
“Then, Su Lin, you’re in danger. Yanyan is a face chaser, aren’t you afraid that a more handsome guy will show up and steal her away?” Jiang Ruoxi joked.
Su Lin laughed, “Steal her away? I don’t mean to boast, but that’s not happening.”
“Humph… if you don’t treat me well, I’ll take Xiaowan and Xiaoyu away, then dump you,” Zhao Yanyan said with a pouting nose, showing a ‘don’t bully me’ expression.
Su Lin laughed, “Yanyan, be honest, have I ever treated you badly?”
Zhao Yanyan, thinking of Su Lin’s peculiar hobbies, turned her mouth away, not wanting to bother with him.
“Su Lin, you really should be careful. The second generations from Donghai might not have been as handsome as you, but now there’s the first young master of Modu,” Li Ziyu said with a gleaming smile.
Hearing Li Ziyu mention him, Xiao Feiyu felt a burst of bitterness, finally having a chance to speak. He coughed lightly, “Actually, being the first young master of Modu is just a vanity title. You all shouldn’t take it to heart. Just interact normally.”
After Xiao Feiyu finished speaking, he looked at everyone, feeling somewhat embarrassed because none at the table took him seriously, completely disregarding his words.
Su Lin chuckled quietly. Lin Xiaowan and the others might joke and tease among friends and sisters they’re familiar with, but they really had no interest in interacting with someone unfamiliar like Xiao Feiyu. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Feeling snubbed, Xiao Feiyu was angry but couldn’t explode; otherwise, it would ruin his image beyond repair.
Jiang Ruoxi frowned, “Xiao Feiyu, after dinner, you should catch a plane back to Modu. I’ve said it before, I have business in Donghai. As for the engagement, I’ll find a way to have grandfather call it off, so stop fantasizing.”
Xiao Feiyu’s anger surged again. Feeling this was a good opportunity, he said, “Ruoxi, to be honest, after chasing you for so many years, I’m tired and want to give up. Since you’ve said this today, let me make a statement too; from today onwards, I won’t pester you anymore.”
The room fell silent as Xiao Feiyu finished speaking. Su Lin watched Xiao Feiyu’s performance with interest, knowing that the Xiao Feiyu before him was no longer the same person. He wasn’t uninterested in Jiang Ruoxi; he just changed his approach.
Jiang Ruoxi wasn’t too pleased but wary, “Xiao Feiyu, what tricks are you trying to pull now? You’ve been acting like you’re in a play every day, aren’t you tired?”
“Ruoxi, I’m serious.”
Jiang Ruoxi laughed out of anger, “Fine! Since you said you won’t pester me, then leave now. Can you get lost?”
“I…”
Before he could finish, Jiang Ruoxi’s scornful look made his pride explode. He stood up angrily, “What’s with that look, Jiang Ruoxi? Do you really think you’re the only woman in the world? You think I can’t live without you?”
“You want me to leave just like that? On what grounds? Where does that leave my dignity? Rest assured, I won’t leave; I’ll stay in Donghai.”
“Xiao Feiyu, is this how you amuse yourself? Are you even a man?”
“Do you want to know if I’m a man? There are private rooms upstairs. Want to feel it for yourself?” Xiao Feiyu asked with a sneer.
At this moment, the other girls frowned in displeasure.
Su Lin stood up, “I thought the first young master of Modu was something special. To think, after two encounters, both were disappointing. Xiao Feiyu, right? This private room doesn’t welcome you; please leave.”
Xiao Feiyu retorted fearlessly, “What right does a mere nouveau riche’s son have to order me?”
“What about me?” Li Ziyu said calmly from her seat.
She had a somewhat favorable impression of Xiao Feiyu before, given their four years of college memories and Xiao Feiyu’s image as a lovesick man, so she didn’t have a bad feeling about him.
But he shouldn’t have spoken to Su Lin that way. Although Li Ziyu wasn’t with Su Lin, her heart was full of him; she just couldn’t accept that Su Lin had multiple girlfriends.
“Li Ziyu, don’t forget, your Li family and my Xiao family…”
“Out.”
“You’ll regret this.”
“GET OUT!!!”
