Chapter Index

    “Boss, I thought you were still sleeping.”

    Seeing Xu Shaochen come in from outside, Linda, who was wearing a silver spaghetti strap nightdress and preparing breakfast, looked at him with some surprise.

    “Where did these sandwiches come from?”

    Looking at the sandwiches on the plate, Xu Shaochen asked, a bit puzzled.

    He had just bought the house, and the fridge was empty. He hadn’t bought anything.

    “I had the bodyguards go buy them. Boss, did you only notice the sandwiches and not how good I look right now?”

    Linda finished her sentence, blinked at Xu Shaochen, and gently lifted a corner of her nightdress.

    Only then did Xu Shaochen notice that this little temptress was wearing a pair of thin white stockings on her legs.

    Generally, white stockings make very high demands on the shape of the legs. Only slim and well-proportioned legs look good in them, and Linda had just that potential.

    “You’re really something else.”

    Xu Shaochen quickly glanced at her, then gave her a thumbs up.

    Early in the morning, without even changing her clothes, she specifically put on a pair of white stockings only to take them off later. If that’s not boredom, what is?

    “Boss, I did this to make you feel more comfortable. Don’t you like it?”

    Linda put down the tray, sashayed over to Xu Shaochen, wrapped her lotus-like arms around his neck, and just stared at him.

    “Yes, yes, I like it. Are you satisfied now? I’m going to take a shower.”

    The pressure from her eyes was too much. Xu Shaochen pushed her away and quickly walked into the bathroom, intending to cool down with some cold water.

    “Mmhm, what an interesting guy.”

    Linda smiled and then hummed an English song as she went back to preparing breakfast.

    After taking a shower, Xu Shaochen felt a bit calmer, but as he ate breakfast, the fire inside him flared up again.

    “Linda, if you dare stretch your foot over here again, don’t blame me for not being polite!”

    He couldn’t take it anymore. Xu Shaochen gritted his teeth and said to Linda, who was sitting across from him.

    “Alright, boss, I thought you’d like it.”

    Linda shrugged, finally letting Xu Shaochen off the hook. She knew better than to push her luck too far; if she got burned, she’d be crying with no one to blame.

    “Ring, ring, ring…”

    Suddenly, Xu Shaochen’s phone, which was on the coffee table, began to ring.

    Linda considerately got up and brought the phone to Xu Shaochen.

    Taking the phone, Xu Shaochen saw it was Song Xinran’s call. He immediately answered: “Hello, Sister Xinran. What’s up?”

    “What do you mean by that? Can’t I call you even if I don’t have anything to talk about?”

    Hearing Song Xinran’s irritated tone, Xu Shaochen was left speechless. Women are always like this. He quickly said, “Of course not, Sister Xinran. You can call me anytime.”

    “Alright then. Actually, I do need your help with something. How about you accompany me to a class reunion tonight? Everyone is coming in pairs, and I’ll be the only one there alone—how awkward!”

    “Your high school classmates?” Xu Shaochen asked.

    “Obviously. I didn’t go to college, so who else could it be besides my middle school classmates?”

    “Alright, call me tonight, and I’ll drive over to pick you up.” Since Song Xinran was asking, as long as it was within his power, he wouldn’t refuse.

    After Xu Shaochen hung up the call, Linda looked at him with a resentful expression and said, “Boss, are you really going to cruelly leave Linda all alone at home tonight? Linda will feel so lonely.”

    “You little minx.”

    Xu Shaochen cursed harshly and then stood up, grabbed his car keys, and headed out the door. If he stayed any longer, he really wouldn’t be able to control himself.

    As Xu Shaochen drove away, Long Yi and Long Er followed in a black Audi from a distance.

    Today was the weekend, so there were no classes. Xu Shaochen planned to go to the school to pick up Xie Wei and take her out.

    After parking the car at the gate of the school, he had Long Yi and Long Er wait outside while he walked into the school.

    After all, there were too many students inside, and driving would mean constant stopping and starting. Walking was much quicker.

    When he got to the girls’ dormitory, he found that a large crowd had already gathered, with some people even taking pictures with their phones.

    Xu Shaochen squeezed into the crowd and saw the ground covered in red roses, with Xie Wei standing expressionless in the middle.

    The onlookers were pointing and talking about Xie Wei. Many women had expressions of envy, jealousy, and hate on their faces.

    Clearly, this was something a guy had prepared for Xie Wei.

    Xu Shaochen stood in the crowd and didn’t rush to show himself.

    “Vroom, vroom, vroom—”

    Just then, the roaring sound of an engine made everyone make way.

    A red Ferrari slowly drove up, its streamlined body looking like a blazing flame that mesmerized people.

    “Damn, who’s the big shot pulling this off? This Ferrari alone must cost several million!”

    “I’m so jealous. If someone pursued me like this, I’d definitely say yes.”

    “Who is the big shot in that car…”

    As soon as the Ferrari appeared, the crowd was abuzz, with everyone guessing who was inside.

    The Ferrari finally stopped, and as the door opened, a young man in a white suit stepped out, holding a bouquet of roses.

    “It’s Han Feng, Young Master Han!”

    As soon as the young man stepped out of the car, the crowd erupted in a wave of astonished exclamations.

    “I can’t believe it’s him. I didn’t think he’d go after Xie Wei. Looks like this flower is about to be picked!”

    “That’s odd. I thought I saw Xie Wei getting close to some guy not long ago.”

    “Nonsense. It’s impossible. Only someone like Young Master Han would be a match for Goddess Xie.”

    “Young Master Han is so handsome. I’d love to have his babies!”

    “You’re disgusting. You’re a guy; how can you talk about having babies?”

    Han Feng ignored the discussions and exclamations around him; his eyes were only for Xie Wei.

    He’d heard of Xie Wei before, but hadn’t seen her until yesterday. When he accidentally saw a photo of her, he was completely captivated.

    He believed that no woman could resist his aggressive approach today. If everything went as planned, Xie Wei would be in his arms by tonight.

    “Weiwei, I love you. Be my girlfriend!”

    Han Feng showed what he thought was a charming smile and then knelt on one knee, handing her the roses.

    Xie Wei frowned at Han Feng, clearly annoyed, and said, “Sorry, I already have a boyfriend. Please don’t bother me anymore.”

    The crowd was in an uproar, their eyes widening in disbelief as they looked at Xie Wei. No one expected her to refuse Han Feng.

    If Han Feng confessed to any of them, forget about having a boyfriend, they’d even get a divorce to be with him!

    The smile on Han Feng’s face froze, his eyes darkening for a moment, but he quickly hid it and said softly, “It’s okay. I hope you’ll give me a chance to pursue you. Otherwise, I’ll kneel here and not get up.”

    “Since that’s the case, then just keep kneeling.”

    Xu Shaochen said calmly as he walked step by step towards Xie Wei.
