Rejected by the Campus Belle, I Find My True Love-Chapter 177 - 176: You Know All About It?

Xue Yang immediately agreed. "That’s a great idea. There doesn’t seem to be a precedent for this yet, but if it’s done well, it could definitely be a profitable method."

Xue Yang had thought about it. Given Lin Xi’s family background, if he wasn’t ambitious, he might not be able to reach the point of marrying her. No father would want to marry his daughter off to someone who couldn’t even guarantee a basic living. Although Xue Yang was making a considerable amount of money, the gap between him and Lin Xi’s family was still too vast. Even if he couldn’t become as wealthy as Lin Xi’s family, the gap, at the very least, shouldn’t be too large.

Lin Xi and Xue Yang shared similar thoughts.

Although she could completely support Xue Yang, she knew that with his personality, he would absolutely never want that. Loving someone doesn’t mean clipping their wings; it means encouraging them to do what they want. And Xue Yang believed that as long as he dared to be ahead of others, he could definitely be the first to strike gold. No matter the era, the first pot of gold is always the sweetest. Once everyone else gets the same idea, the slice of pie for each person naturally shrinks. *Honor of Kings* was indeed receiving positive feedback on the market, but Xue Yang wouldn’t limit himself to just that. He would try anything that could make money.

"I’ve looked at several big influencers on Weibo. It seems that in the beginning, they were also just ordinary, unnoticed people. It was through their persistence and skill that they finally gained everyone’s recognition."

Observing Xue Yang’s serious expression, Lin Xi seemed to make a decision and asked, "Xue Yang, do you... know now?"

Xue Yang looked up and stroked Lin Xi’s soft hair. "Mhm, I checked the balance on the bank card you gave me and guessed as much."

"I..."

"You’re really rich."

Lin Xi was left speechless. She clenched her fists. She had thought about how Xue Yang would react when he learned of her identity, but she hadn’t expected him to be so calm about it. It was as if he were dealing with an ordinary matter.

Does he not like my status?

Lin Xi knew that Xue Yang wasn’t someone who would treat her differently just because she was the heiress to the Lin Corporation. If that were the case, when they first met, he wouldn’t have willingly warned her that it’s easy to be struck by lightning when taking shelter from the rain under a tree. He even tried to persuade her to go home or to help her call the police. Even after she went back with him, he was still willing to share the last hundred yuan he had with her.

Seeing Lin Xi looking as if the sky had collapsed, Xue Yang laughed softly. "No matter who you are, I only know that you’re my girlfriend. I want to work hard to give you a good life. That was our goal from the beginning, wasn’t it?"

Lin Xi cried. She threw herself into Xue Yang’s arms. "I thought you’d blame me for deceiving you. I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to. At first, I was worried that if you knew who I was, you would force me to go back. Later, I was worried that when you found out, you would give up on us because of the huge gap between us. Xue Yang, I don’t want to leave you. WAAAH..."

She was genuinely scared that Xue Yang would leave her because of this. They had been together for so long and had never argued about anything. She desperately wanted to hold on to this kind of relationship.

Xue Yang held Lin Xi and gently patted her back, soothing her. "Xiao Xi, I never asked about your family, did I? So you didn’t hide anything from me. You don’t have to feel like you’ve wronged me. You’ve never wronged me." 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Lin Xi hugged Xue Yang back. "Xue Yang, thank you."

"You’re welcome. It’s nothing you need to thank me for."

The two embraced tightly. Revealing the truth about her background didn’t create distance between them; instead, it brought them even closer. Now, there were no more secrets between them.

"Lin Xi, please thank your father for me."

Lin Xi looked up at Xue Yang, shocked and somewhat guilty. "You... you knew that my dad was secretly helping you?"

Who else but Chairman Lin could make a well-known gaming company like the one behind *League of Legends* agree to sponsor *King’s Game* without asking for anything in return?

Xue Yang tapped Lin Xi’s forehead. "Your husband isn’t stupid, you know. There’s no way the *League of Legends* company would suddenly agree to sponsor us for free just because they appreciate our technology. If they wanted to, launching a *League of Legends* mobile game would just be a matter of time."

Lin Xi’s face instantly turned bright red. "What do you mean, ’husband’?"

"Hmm? Am I wrong?"

"We aren’t married yet."

"Seems like Xiao Xi is eager for an upgrade."

"I... I’m not!" Lin Xi almost buried her head in Xue Yang’s chest.

"Too bad. We’re both too young for that upgrade yet."

Feeling utterly embarrassed, Lin Xi covered her face and stomped her foot. "Xue Yang, don’t say another word!"

"Alright, no more teasing. Let’s get down to business."

Xue Yang and Lin Xi were both people of action. As soon as they decided on a plan, Xue Yang immediately registered a Weibo account under his pen name.

Perhaps because the novel was so popular, someone left a comment the moment he registered the account.

"Surrounded by Mist? Is that the author of *My Precious Boy*?"

Xue Yang replied, "That’s me. Please give me lots of support."

After that, Xue Yang posted the novel’s title and a link.

However, it seemed that the fan was just asking a question and never said anything more. Afterward, no one else commented. Other than that first fan and an official follow from Weibo itself, there was no more interaction.

Xue Yang checked it almost every minute.

He now understood the lonely feeling Lin Xi must have had when she first published her novel. He had thought this would be easy, but it was nothing like he had imagined.

Lin Xi cradled Xue Yang’s handsome face, pressing her forehead against his and rubbing it gently. "It’s okay," she said. "We just registered the account. It’ll get better as people slowly find out about it."

"Yeah, it’s fine. No rush. *My Precious Boy* started with no readers either, and it still got popular, right? I’ll just mention the new account in today’s update."

Through these events, Xue Yang realized the importance of connections. He was sure that if it hadn’t been for Si Wen and the others promoting *King’s Game*, only a handful of people would know about it by now. Promotion was crucial, and influential promotion was even more so.

Xue Yang wasn’t discouraged. He adjusted his mood and recorded a voice-over of him reading the novel, posting it on Weibo.

"*After the female lead left, the male lead chose to start a business while waiting for her...*"

His voice was magnetic, possessing a special charm that made it easy for listeners to immerse themselves in the story. After listening to just two minutes of the recording, Lin Xi was already hooked.

"Are you going to record more?" she asked, her big eyes filled with anticipation as she gazed at Xue Yang.

Xue Yang turned the phone’s camera toward Lin Xi.

"Now it’s your turn."
