Rejected by the Campus Belle, I Find My True Love-Chapter 243 - 241: Can Only Be Worn at Home
The young man was instantly silent.
Even Tony, being an American, knew what the Lin surname signified.
"It’s such a pity. But there’s no harm in just getting to know her, right?"
"Tony, I know you like to play, but some people are out of your league."
"I can’t even get to know her?"
"If it weren’t for that boy, do you think you’d have the chance to meet the young lady of the Lin family? Forget it. That’s her boyfriend."
Tony’s face showed his regret. "Just when I finally take a liking to a girl, she’s already spoken for."
"Your Dragon Country language has really improved. You can even use a phrase like ’spoken for’."
"Of course."
"Have you made any headway in expanding your business here in Dragon Country?"
"Not yet. The new energy sector is still a completely new field. It’s inevitably difficult at first to convince people it can compete with traditional gasoline. But I believe it will certainly have its place in the future, so I’m confident I can make it happen."
"That’s good. Keep it up!"

After Xue Yang left, Xue Xing started to feel bored.
Xue Rou was a girl, and they had nothing in common to talk about.
Xue Shan just holed himself up in his room every day, and it wasn’t clear if he was studying or playing games.
"Forget it. I’ll just go over to my brother’s place and see if he has any interesting books."
Xue Xing got up and headed to Xue Yang’s home.
It was Sunday, so both Xue Yuanqing and Zhong Hailan were home.
They had decided to go to the courier station first to mail a package to Xue Yang, and then visit the new house he had bought.
Afterward, they planned to go to a furniture mall to see if they could find any good deals.
Xue Yang had given them full control over the decoration, which actually made them feel a bit hesitant.
After all, their tastes were different from a young person’s. What if they decorated it in a way Xue Yang didn’t like?
"Auntie, I’m here to borrow some books," Xue Xing said as he walked in.
"Xing Zai, this is a New Year’s gift your brother left for you."
"Honestly, my brother... why didn’t he give me this gift earlier?"
Hearing this, Xue Yuanqing looked up and said, "Maybe... your brother wanted you to have a good New Year!"
What does a New Year’s gift have to do with having a good New Year?
Xue Xing, feeling rather perplexed, opened the gift Xue Yang had left for him. The next second, his expression instantly fell.
"My brother is just so thoughtful. What kind of person gives college entrance exam practice tests as a New Year’s gift?!"
"Study hard. Don’t let down your brother’s hopes for you."
Xue Xing lost all interest in borrowing books and dejectedly returned home.
It had to be said that Xue Yang had great foresight. If he had really given it to him before the New Year, Xue Xing definitely would have had a depressing holiday.
"Dear," Zhong Hailan said to her husband, "it would be wonderful if our son could really get a job at the Lin Corporation."
"It’s not that easy. But given our son’s abilities, even if he doesn’t get into the Lin Corporation, he won’t do poorly. You should stop worrying so much. Have you gotten everything ready?"
"Yes. Let’s get going."
"Alright."

Early in the morning, Xue Yang was bombarded with messages again.
He glanced down at the sleeping figure in his arms, picked up his phone, and opened his messages.
Sensing movement from the warm embrace, Lin Xi instinctively snuggled closer to the source of heat.
Xue Yang held her with one arm while replying to messages with the other.
"Boss, aren’t you coming to the studio today?"
It was a message from Cui Hao.
"I have some urgent business today, so I won’t be able to come in for now. When do you expect the others to arrive?" Xue Yang replied.
"They’ll all be here by tomorrow. Twenty people in total."
"Good. Then arrange a kickoff dinner for tomorrow. Tell Kexin to prepare some red packets for the launch. Although our studio hasn’t started turning a profit yet, we still have to provide the proper benefits."
"Okay."
After making the arrangements, Xue Yang put down his phone.
Twenty people was a lot for a studio.
Xue Yang had to organize them into departments and assign them their respective roles.
The task sounded simple, but it was anything but.
The year had just begun, and Xue Yang already felt immense pressure. He even suspected that the ten-day New Year holiday would be the most relaxing time he’d have for a long while.
Since he’d decided to help Si Wen, today he had to go to Trendy Apparel Company to handle the handover.
He had no experience with such a large company. It would be a lie to say he wasn’t nervous.
He didn’t even have a clue about management yet. He could only figure out the next step after he understood the situation.
He glanced at the time: 7:12 AM. Time to get up.
There’s so little time in a day.
"Xiao Xi, time to get up."
"Mmm..."
Lin Xi rolled over, wrapping her arms and legs around Xue Yang like an octopus.
"I have to go to Si Wen’s company for the handover today, so we need to get an early start. If you’re sleepy, you can just sleep in here and come over when you wake up."
Hearing this, Lin Xi’s eyes flew open.
"No, I want to go with you."
She pouted, looking somewhat aggrieved. "Si Wen is a bad person. She knows we only have one day to spend together, and she’s still taking it away."
Xue Yang chuckled.
The little imp had probably forgotten that she was the one who had asked him to help Si Wen last night.
"That’s why I’m taking you with me today."
Perfect. A little public display of affection for Si Wen’s benefit.
Xue Yang got out of bed to wash up and change his clothes, then sat on the couch to wait for Lin Xi.
At 7:50 AM, Lin Xi came out of her room.
Today, she wore a fleece-lined, thick white hoodie under a long, pink plush coat, accessorized with a small pink cross-body bag.
The outfit perfectly showcased her long, slender legs, making her look both lively and playful.
She always managed to give any outfit a unique flair.
Lin Xi looked at Xue Yang, seeming a bit uneasy. Assuming she was still a little upset, Xue Yang took her hand and led her toward the door.
Just as they reached it, he caught sight of something and stopped in his tracks.
"Are you wearing stockings today?"
No wonder he felt that Lin Xi seemed different today.
The girl had actually worn stockings. And the thin kind, at that...
"It’s too cold outside. You can’t wear stockings," Xue Yang chided softly.
Lin Xi blinked her lively eyes. "But I promised I’d wear them for you when you got back. Don’t you like them?"
"Be good. Let’s not wear them out."
"So you mean I can wear them in the house?"
"..."
Was that what I meant? I guess it was.
"Go change."
"Oh."

When they set out again, it was already past 8:00 AM.
Lin Xi had pulled on an extra-thick pair of pants over her stockings. Although they were thick, they didn’t look bulky.
However, she lost a bit of her playful aura.
Xue Yang was satisfied.
He took Lin Xi’s hand again as they went downstairs.
Uncle He was already waiting downstairs.
Seeing them approach, he immediately got out of the driver’s seat, walked around the back of the car, and opened the door to let them in.
