Rejected by the Campus Belle, I Find My True Love-Chapter 174 - 173: Having your own trump card is the greatest confidence
"I’m sorry, I should have called your mom earlier and made you wait so long."
"It’s okay. It’s all the same now that you’re here. Brother Xue Yang, this is for you." Jiang Sisi took a drawing from her backpack, which Xue Yang only now noticed she was carrying.
"What’s this?"
Xue Yang took the drawing from her hands and unfolded it. It depicted the very scene where he had blocked the waiter from splashing hot water on them. Jiang Sisi’s drawing was very lifelike and rendered with great care. It’s said that what is on a person’s mind is easily reflected in their art, and it was clear that Jiang Sisi saw Xue Yang as her personal superhero. She had even added a pair of invisible wings to his back, making him look like a great hero descending from the heavens to save her, her mother, and her grandmother. She had drawn it the moment she got home and had been waiting all this time for Xue Yang to call her mother. She carried it with her every day, and today she finally got the chance to give it to him.
"This is drawn so well, Sisi. Thank you."
Like a little adult, Jiang Sisi shook her head. "Sisi should be thanking Brother Xue Yang. If it weren’t for you that day, my mom and I might have been disfigured. I don’t want to be disfigured."
She’s such a little girl, already so concerned with her looks. Xue Yang thought, patting her little head. She was truly adorable. If Lin Xi and I have a child in the future, will they be this cute? No, they’ll definitely be even cuter. A daughter should take after her mother, and Lin Xi is so beautiful, so her child would certainly be beautiful too. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
"Mr. Xue, please have a seat."
"You can just call me Xue Yang, Sister Jiang."
Jiang Wei smiled. "Xue Yang, I looked at the game you sent me, and I even tried playing it. It’s excellent. If it were released on the market, it would definitely be a massive hit. However, our boss’s intention is to buy it from you. You can name your price."
Xue Yang shook his head. "Sister Jiang, my partners and I poured an immense amount of effort into creating this game. We’re hoping to buy the official mobile game rights for Loopy Loops."
"And what makes you think you’re in a position to negotiate with us?"
Xue Yang was silent for a long moment before answering, "We can develop Loopy Loops into a mobile game. If you need it, we’ll provide the technical support."
Having an ace up his sleeve was the greatest source of confidence, and his statement worked wonders.
Jiang Wei studied Xue Yang with a smile. Although he was just a student, he carried himself with the natural, casual air of a superior. Given time, he’ll surely achieve much more than this.
"I will discuss what you’ve said with my boss. I’ll have an answer for you tomorrow."
"Thank you, Sister Jiang."
Xue Yang knew that for a big company like theirs, every decision required deliberation. Getting a response by tomorrow was already the fastest they could possibly move.
"Don’t thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank yourself for doing something brave."
"Please don’t dwell on what happened that day, Sister Jiang. I only did what I thought was right. Anyone else would have stepped in if they saw what that waiter was doing."
He’s so composed—not obsequious, yet not arrogant. Jiang Wei suddenly felt a twinge of regret. If only he were a few years older. Of course, it was just a fleeting thought.

After leaving the cafe, Xue Yang went straight back to the office. By chance, he ran into Cui Hao and Yu Kexin in the lobby as they were about to go for lunch. They were stunned when they saw Xue Yang step out of the passenger side of an Audi.
"Xue Yang, don’t tell me you bought this Audi."
Xue Yang closed the car door. "I didn’t exactly buy it, but you could say I did."
It is often said that a car is an essential symbol of a mature man, and ever since Xue Yang started driving, his whole demeanor seemed to have ascended to another level.
Cui Hao circled the Audi. "Nice! This is the latest model. I was planning to get my old man to buy me one after I started university, but we had a fight, and I ended up with nothing."
Yu Kexin stood to the side. Though she doesn’t know anything about cars, the moment Xue Yang got out of the car, he looked so incredibly handsome. It’s a kind of handsomeness that words can’t describe. She feels an impulse to snap a picture of him and set it as her phone’s wallpaper.
"I bought a car. Shouldn’t you two celebrate for me?"
"What are we waiting for? Let’s go now!" Cui Hao opened the passenger door and hopped in, while Yu Kexin naturally sat in the back. Once inside, he started looking all around. "I’ve gotta say, a car of this caliber really feels different to sit in."
Xue Yang sat in the driver’s seat with his hands on the wheel. "Where do you guys want to eat?"
"We’re celebrating you, so you get to choose what we eat."
Xue Yang thought for a moment. "I just so happen to be craving seafood."
Cui Hao thumped his chest. "You, my friend, have good taste." Seafood wasn’t cheap this time of year, and it was even more expensive in Yancheng, a city so far from the coast.
Yu Kexin chimed in, "I want seafood too."
"Alright, your man here is in a good mood today! I’ll treat you to a feast. Let’s go!"
The three of them went to a seafood restaurant in Yancheng and had a huge meal. By the time they left, it was already past eight o’clock.
Lin Xi’s class ends a little after nine. If I head over now, the timing will be perfect.
"You two will have to take a taxi back to school," Xue Yang said.
"Where are you off to?"
"To pick up my girlfriend from class."
Cui Hao’s voice dripped with envy. "It’s different for people with girlfriends, going to pick her up this late." He then added, "Same old question: when are you going to let us meet your girlfriend? You two have been together for so long, and we still haven’t met her. That’s not cool, man."
Xue Yang focused on his driving. "Maybe you’ve already met her."
"Really?"
"Nope, just kidding."
Cui Hao snorted. "Fine, don’t tell us. But you can’t hide her forever. We’ll meet her by next September at the latest."
Xue Yang dropped them off at a bus stop. "See you tomorrow."
"Go on, go on! See you tomorrow." Cui Hao and Yu Kexin hopped into a taxi and sped away.
Only after they had gone did Xue Yang start the car and drive to Harlow International School. He found a relatively inconspicuous spot to park, then got out and leaned against the car door, waiting for Lin Xi’s class to end.
But he was far too conspicuous. Just by standing there, he became a sight to behold, and his unremarkable Q5 somehow managed to overshadow the other luxury cars around it. Students leaving in their cars couldn’t help but glance his way.
"Who do you think that guy is waiting for? He’s so handsome."
"Could that be a modern-day Prince Charming?"
"If a guy that handsome waited for me after class, I’d wake up laughing in my dreams."
