Rejected by the Campus Belle, I Find My True Love-Chapter 366 - 364: Daddy, I’ll Wait for You to Come Back
He knew his own daughter well.
That little girl must be up to something again. As for what she’s planning, do I even need to think about it? Although I have no particular grievances against that punk Xue Yang, dissatisfaction is one thing. It’s not going to be that easy for him to marry my precious daughter. If he dares to do anything to my daughter without my permission, he should be prepared to face my wrath.
"The matters in America are not yet finished. Once they are settled, I will return."
Receiving this message was within Lin Xi’s expectations.
"Dad, I’ll wait for your return."
Putting down his phone, Lin Zhenhai walked to the large French window and looked down at the bustling scene before him. Even at midnight, the city was still brightly lit.
Half an hour later, Xue Yang came out of the bathroom. He changed his clothes and went straight out the door.
In her room, Lin Xi heard the door open and close, feeling incredibly disappointed.
Xue Yang didn’t even say goodbye before he left.
Though they lived together, the distance between them seemed to be growing. She couldn’t help but question if living together was the right decision. Lin Xi got out of bed and went to the window. From there, she could see Xue Yang’s figure hastily walking away.
He was walking so fast it was as if something were chasing him. If Lin Xi were walking with him, she definitely wouldn’t be able to keep up.
He must be busy with work, that’s why he rushed off, Lin Xi consoled herself.
She withdrew her gaze and changed into comfortable loungewear, covering her attractive figure. Then she tied her hair into a ponytail, brushed her teeth, washed her face, and did her skincare routine, all in one smooth sequence.
Just as she came out of the bathroom, she heard the door open.
Lin Xi was slightly startled. She ran to the living room and saw Xue Yang returning with two bags of food.
So that was it. He had rushed out without a word to buy them breakfast.
"Xue Yang~"
Lin Xi ran up to him, her eyes sparkling, looking just like an excited Xiao Naimao seeing its owner return.
Seeing that Lin Xi had changed her clothes, Xue Yang thought to himself, This girl... she finally knows some restraint. If that happened one more time, I really would have a hard time holding back.
Xue Yang walked to the dining table and placed the food on it.
"I have to work this afternoon, so I didn’t have time to cook lunch. That’s why I bought something from outside. If I’m free in the evening, I’ll come back early and cook something delicious for you."
Lin Xi obediently nodded. "Mm."
"If I come back late, don’t wait for me. There’s food in the fridge, or I can order takeout for you."
Xue Yang suddenly felt that bringing Lin Xi here had been unfair to her. Forget spending time with her, he could barely even provide her with a decent meal.
Lin Xi, however, didn’t mind. She nodded and smiled. "Okay."
I used to wait for Xue Yang to come back just like this, didn’t I? If I could do it before, I can definitely do it now.
After they finished eating, Xue Yang had to leave. It was a good thing he wasn’t a regular employee. Otherwise, skipping half a day of work would have cost him a fortune. He wouldn’t just lose a day’s pay; he would have had money deducted from his salary as well.
Lin Xi remained seated as Xue Yang laid out a lavish Western meal, just enough for two people. After they finished eating, Xue Yang left for work.
With Xue Yang gone, Lin Xi was finally left to her own devices. She went back to her room, sat at her desk, and propped her head on her hands, feeling a bit bored. It was so hot in June that you could see heat shimmering in the air outside.
First, I’ll update today’s novel Chapter.
Lin Xi opened her writer’s dashboard and began to type earnestly. Her typing speed was increasing rapidly, and with her wish of being with Xue Yang fulfilled, her thoughts flowed like a spring. Soon, she had typed out four thousand words.
She glanced at the time; only an hour and a half had passed. Since there was still time, she began to type seriously again. Another half hour went by, and with two thousand more words completed, Lin Xi uploaded the fresh batch of six thousand words.
"My Treasure Girl" had an extra update, and no one was happier than the readers. Before long, the comment sections for those Chapters had all hit 99+. The fact that the female lead got into the same university as the male lead made everyone overjoyed. They were all eagerly anticipating the upcoming plot.
Seeing the readers’ reactions, Lin Xi was indescribably happy. She used her author account to thank everyone and initiated a comment-stacking event, announcing that every reader whose comment number ended in a 6, 8, or 9 would receive a beautiful little gift. Once this event was announced, the comments quickly surpassed 200 and continued to pile up.
The event would last for three days. Afterward, she would identify the winning readers and send them their gifts.
She kept herself busy like this until it was 5 p.m.
I should ask what Si Wen is doing.
"Si Wen, what are you up to?"
"Working. What else could I be doing?"
"Ah, you’re at work?"
"If I don’t work, how would your boyfriend have any free time to spend with you?"
"..."
Why does that sound so strange? But then again, it doesn’t seem wrong either.
"I’m coming over to see you."
"Yes, please! Come over quickly! I’m about to go crazy from this mountain of paperwork. You coming to chat is exactly what I need."
Half an hour later, Lin Xi arrived at the café on the 33rd floor of the Trendy Apparel Company. She sat in a VIP room, waiting idly for Si Wen. Before long, Si Wen pushed the door open.
"I must be insane. Why did I start a company just to torture myself? Wouldn’t it be better to just have fun every day like you?" As soon as she entered, Si Wen launched into a tirade.
"Si Wen, have some coffee first."
Si Wen sat down, picked up the coffee in front of her, and took a big gulp.
"Xiao Xi, tell your boyfriend to come back and help me. Then I can take his place and hang out with you every day."
"I don’t want you hanging out with me every day! I want Xue Yang to!"
I’m not falling for that.
"Look, he’s not helping me now, and he still can’t spend every day with you. But I’m different. If he helps me, I can spend every day with you," Si Wen continued to coax her.
"If you’re not happy running it, you could always sell the company."
"Easier said than done. I started this company in high school. After all these years, it’s finally achieved some success. How could I bear to let it go? Forget it. I’ll just have to work a little harder and keep slogging through it."
Si Wen propped her chin on her hand. Though she was complaining, she was also happy. This was her first real achievement, and its significance was extraordinary.
Suddenly, a thought struck her.
"By the way, are you really not going on the graduation trip? I saw in the class group chat that they’re leaving the day after tomorrow. They’re finalizing the roster."
"I’m not going. They’ll be gone for the whole summer, which is too long. I have to visit Auntie Zhong this summer."
Auntie Zhong had already finished renovating the second floor and said she was waiting for her to come back and take a look, just in case she wanted anything changed. However, Lin Xi loved Auntie Zhong’s taste and didn’t think anything would need to be changed at all. She was really looking forward to seeing her.
