Rejected by the Campus Belle, I Find My True Love-Chapter 377 - 375: Come and Take Advantage of Me While My Wallet is Still in My Hands
Lin Xi was so frightened she didn’t dare to move.
This is the office, after all. Even if it’s just the two of us... Lin Xi didn’t dare to think any further.
Recently, to avoid putting Xue Yang in a difficult position, she had been keeping her distance from him. It seemed Xue Yang was also trying not to do anything wrong, so he hadn’t protested her decision.
Now, however, he had not only closed the distance between them but had also pulled her onto his lap. For a couple, this was an incredibly intimate act. It could very easily lead to other things.
As her thoughts spun in chaos, Xue Yang held a chicken leg to her lips.
Lin Xi took a bite instinctively. She chewed slowly with her small mouth, looking like a hamster, though not nearly as protective of her food.
So cute.
Xue Yang loved the sight and encouraged her to eat more.
Soon, however, she felt something was off again. "Xue Yang, don’t you think it’s weird for us to be eating a chicken leg like this?"
"Hmm? Is it?"
Lin Xi felt a little embarrassed. "Of course it is! Has anyone ever eaten a chicken leg like this? It’s so perverted."
"Then how do you want to eat it? Like this?"
Xue Yang took a bite himself, then turned her to face him. Before Lin Xi could react, he precisely captured her small, cherry-red lips.
"..."
Okay, that’s even more perverted.
Lin Xi’s face was burning hot. What is this feeling? Am I being flirted with? The last time this happened was probably right after we first got together...
Before Lin Xi ran out of breath, Xue Yang let her go. "Was it good?"
"It... it was... I... I can eat by myself."
Flushed, Lin Xi scurried onto a stool and pulled down her skirt, which had ridden up nearly to her waist. She didn’t dare meet Xue Yang’s eyes.
Xue Yang buried his head in his meal, appearing perfectly normal. However, only the two of them knew the truth.
After they finished eating, Xue Yang told Lin Xi to amuse herself in the office while he returned to his desk to continue working.
Lin Xi didn’t disturb him. She sat quietly on the sofa, took out her phone, and logged into her author dashboard, ready to write.
The comment-stacking event she had set up earlier had reached several thousand replies and had already ended. A reader suggested she join the fan group, where an admin had already compiled a list of the winners. All she had to do was mail the gifts to the provided addresses.
I’m the author, yet I need a reader to get into my own fan group. I’m probably the only one in this situation.
Lin Xi used the group ID a reader had given her and sent a request to join. She was approved almost instantly.
The moment she entered, a bot immediately tagged her, "Welcome! To join the ’Treasure Girl’ fan group at such a young age—your future is truly limitless."
Lin Xi smiled. That’s a fun welcome message.
Soon, she spotted a familiar name in the group.
Si Wen Is Not Gentle: "Welcome, newbie. Post a pic."
Her message immediately caused a stir.
"Post a pic."
"Post a pic +1."
"Post a pic +a million!"
"..."
Lin Xi replied directly, "Si Wen, haven’t you seen my photos before?"
Si Wen Is Not Gentle: "?"
The username seemed familiar to Si Wen. When she clicked on the profile, it became even more so. Xiao Naimao... isn’t that just Lin Xi?
Si Wen immediately posted an explosive message in the group, "Ladies, I have some great news! Our esteemed author has joined the group! Let’s welcome her majesty back to the palace! @everyone"
As soon as the message appeared, the group of nearly two thousand members erupted.
"The author’s here? Where? Which one is she?"
"Author, I’m your loyal fan! I’ve been following your work, and I love the relationship between you and your boyfriend. I hope you two grow old together! Please notice me, Author!"
"Me too, Author! I hope you two grow old together! Please don’t let the gap between you make you back down. Money might be powerful, but finding true love is far more precious."
"Grow old together +1."
"Grow old together +2."
"Grow old together +a million!"
"..."
Seeing everyone’s blessings warmed Lin Xi’s heart.
It turns out so many people support us. Love really can break the shackles of social class, as long as we love each other enough.
Lin Xi looked up at Xue Yang. He was bathed in the afternoon light, and for a moment, a seven-colored radiance seemed to glow behind him.
Sensing her gaze, Xue Yang looked up. Seeing her watching him, he gave her a gentle smile.
Lin Xi was momentarily stunned. He’s my hero.
Everyone in the group was trying to figure out who the author was, but after her big announcement, Si Wen went silent, ignoring all the tags.
"Where are you?" Si Wen sent Lin Xi a private message.
"I’m in Xue Yang’s office."
"TSK, TSK, TSK... Going to inspect your man’s work, are we!"
"No! I was just bringing him lunch."
"You never bring me lunch."
"You wouldn’t let yourself starve."
"Hearing you say that, maybe I should starve myself for a bit so you’ll feel sorry for me."
"Si Wen..."
"Alright, alright, I’ll stop teasing you. I’ve already made an appointment with the real estate agent to look at some villas."
"Okay."
When Lin Xi looked up again, Xue Yang had left the office. She remained on the sofa and continued writing.
Seeing Xue Yang step out, Yu Kexin appeared before him with two cups of coffee.
"Boss, did you have a good lunch?"
Xue Yang took a cup from her. "I’m full."
"Well, we’re not! We’re still here, starving and waiting for you."
"You didn’t eat lunch?"
"We were waiting for you, but then someone brought you lunch and left us out. Touching, isn’t it?"
"I’m so touched I’m thinking of docking your salary."
"Boss, you can dock my salary, but we absolutely must get a celebratory meal out of you and the boss’s wife."
To get Xue Yang to treat them, Yu Kexin was willing to go all out.
"Alright. Then we’ll use your docked pay to cover the bill."
Hearing Xue Yang agree, Yu Kexin beamed, making an OK sign with her hand. "No problem! I’ll pass the word along right away. By the way, Boss, should I call all the studio managers?"
With all the managers, that would be about fifty people. They could book a large hall with five tables.
"Invite all the employees."
Yu Kexin glanced toward Xue Yang’s pocket in surprise. "Boss, that’s nearly two hundred people. Are you sure? That’s not going to be cheap. Are you sure the boss’s wife won’t confiscate your wallet?"
Xue Yang nodded in agreement. "Hmm, you’ve got a point. So, you’d better soak me for all I’m worth while my wallet is still in my own pants. Once the boss’s wife takes it, it’ll be too late for all of you."
"Makes sense, Boss! I’ll get right on it." Yu Kexin immediately pulled out her phone to notify everyone about the dinner gathering that evening.
"Find a big all-you-can-eat barbecue place," Xue Yang added as he turned to leave. "Self-reliance is a traditional virtue of the Dragon Country, after all."
"..."
