Surrounded by the Billionaire's Deep Doting-Chapter 342 - 308: Could the Gentleman Have Feelings, While I Remain Indifferent? (1)
Poured tea for Su Jin, got some snacks, and then brought out two thick sets of test papers.
In no time, the coffee table in the living room was piled high.
Su Jin put on those silver-rimmed glasses, her hair casually tucked behind her ears, flipping through the test papers Su Xiaomeng had done.
There were red and green marks all over them.
"Going to the University of Bath for further studies, that’s really amazing."
Su Jin said casually.
However, this only earned her an eye roll from Su Xiaomeng.
Thinking about the questions she couldn’t solve even if she pulled out all her hair, handed over to her sister who’s two years younger, who easily cracked them.
Being praised by a sister like that, she honestly didn’t feel any sense of pride.
Went over all the wrong questions with Su Xiaomeng, and whenever they both didn’t understand something, they searched for information online.
Time flew by quickly.
Su Xiaomeng flipped through her notebook of mistakes, reviewing there.
Su Jin rested her head on one hand, holding a pen with the other, watching as Su Xiaomeng sat cross-legged, her eyes intently focused on the notebook.
Her cousin was two years older, but her cute, pure looks made her appear even younger than her actual age.
Her hair was tied in a ponytail, slightly messy.
Anyone who saw her couldn’t imagine she was a mother of two.
Noticing Su Jin’s gaze on her, Su Xiaomeng looked up, "What’s up? Falling in love with me?"
Su Jin chuckled lightly, "Sis, don’t you find this kind of life tough?"
"What?"
"Taking care of two kids while managing your studies, if it’s just completing undergraduate studies it’s fine, but going abroad for further study, don’t you find it tough?" 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
Su Xiaomeng put down the notebook, propped her chin up, thought and said, "Actually it’s okay... at first I thought it would be very tough, but now it just feels very fulfilling. I feel this life is quite good..."
"Your husband is quite a busy man too, really admire you guys. I already feel there’s not enough time just studying."
Su Xiaomeng chuckled lightly, "When you marry a good man, you’ll realize many things aren’t as hard as you imagined."
"Sis, that’s a bit of a show-off, isn’t it?"
The only thing Su Xiaomeng could boast about in front of Su Jin was probably her own husband, right?
"Speaking of..."
Xiao Meng’s eyes turned into slits, with a very gossip-loving look at Su Jin, "A University is famous for its handsome guys, haven’t you taken a fancy to any?"
Su Jin was taken aback for a moment, then said very seriously, "I’m not interested in these now."
Su Xiaomeng gave a "don’t tease me" look, hardly believing, saying, "You’re not a little nun, how can you have no desires, you’re at the age where love is in the air, aren’t you?"
Su Jin scratched her head, "I’m really not thinking about these things, during college, I haven’t planned to date either."
"I also don’t think, dating at this time would have any good results."
Su Jin shrugged.
Su Xiaomeng pointed to herself...
"Sis, you’re an exception. It’s actually not uncommon for girls to get pregnant at nineteen, but those who end up well are rare."
"Xiao Jin... why do you, being so young, give me a feeling of having gone through a lot? It feels so lacking in human warmth!"
Su Xiaomeng blinked.
"Sis, do you want to hear the truth?"
"Hmm... will the truth be hurtful?"
"...Maybe a little."
"Hmm... then go ahead and hurt me."
Su Xiaomeng took a deep breath, ready to be "hurt".
"Actually... it’s related to intelligence."
"Hold it right there, I don’t want to hear anymore."
Su Jin found it quite funny, so she didn’t continue.
Su Xiaomeng rolled her eyes at her, then pointed with her hand, "Go to the kitchen and get two cups of instant noodles, we’re having instant noodles for dinner."
"Haha, really instant noodles, your husband brought them back from Japan. Quite pricey too."
Su Jin went to the kitchen, somewhat believing yet doubting.
Su Xiaomeng and Su Jin were quite close, the two girls didn’t play polite games with each other.
Xiao Meng waved her hand, signaling Su Jin to go and deal with dinner.
She was a bit tired from reading, lay on the table, accidentally knocked down the programming book Su Jin left on the table corner.
An extra-thick book, falling on the floor with a heavy sound.
Su Xiaomeng went to pick it up, unexpectedly, a letter fell out from the book.
The handwriting on the envelope was very sharp, it read: Su Jin Qi (for Su Jin to open).
Judging from the envelope, it seemed it hadn’t been opened yet.
Su Xiaomeng blinked, looked at it back and forth.
When Su Jin came over with two bowls of instant noodles, she saw Su Xiaomeng looking at something in the light as if inspecting a secret code.
"What’s this?"
Su Jin asked in confusion.
Su Xiaomeng, even more puzzled, "You should be asking yourself that, it fell out from your book."
Su Jin blinked, reached over to take a look.
Su Xiaomeng squinted her eyes, "Could it be a love letter?"
Su Jin, with a calm expression, didn’t directly deny, thought for a moment, then said, "Possibly."
Su Xiaomeng lay on the table, looking eagerly at Su Jin, this girl... too calm.
A love letter...
Who wouldn’t want to receive a love letter from an admirer?
Su Jin opened the envelope, but before she could take a look, the phone rang.
Su Xiaomeng quickly leaned over, saw it was a call from the United States, then looked again...
"Bai Shunyuan?"
Su Jin was also surprised, put down the love letter, picked up the phone, looking at the unfamiliar foreign number on it.
"Xiao Jin... have you always been in contact with Bai Shunyuan?"
Su Jin hurriedly shook her head, "No, is this Bai Shunyuan’s phone?"
"Yes."
Su Xiaomeng nodded.
Su Jin somewhat suspiciously picked up the phone, sitting down while answering, "Hello?"
She held the phone between her ear and shoulder, her hands not stopping the action of opening the letter.
"How long has it been since you logged onto Twitter!"
Su Jin was yelled at abruptly by Bai Shunyuan, and was a bit stunned.
"I’m asking you a question! What are you doing!"
"Reading... a letter."
"A letter?"
Bai Shunyuan, living on U.S. time, had just woken up early, still feeling groggy from waking up.
"What kind of letter?"
"Uh... seems like a love letter."
Su Jin said calmly, rather honestly.
Bai Shunyuan shouted so loudly that Su Xiaomeng sitting beside could hear it clearly. She propped up her chin, as if watching a show.
Bai Shunyuan, overseas, calmed down from his early morning anger.
The words "love letter" hit him like a... hammer, waking him up instantly.
"What, what is this?"
"Well... it truly is a love letter."
By now, Su Jin had finished skimming the letter, confirmed it, folded it back up, and casually tossed it into the trash bin beside her.
"Who, who wrote you a love letter? Is he, is he brain-dead? Writing you a love letter, is, is he blind?"
Su Jin raised her eyebrows slightly, listening to Bai Shunyuan’s sarcastic tone.
"I’m asking you a question!"
Su Jin squinted her eyes, and without saying a word, hung up the phone directly.
"Buzz..."
Sitting on the bed, Bai Shunyuan couldn’t believe his phone got disconnected just like that!
He was unable to snap back for a long time.
He had only been gone for more than a month, just over a month...
If he didn’t initiate contact with Su Jin, she wouldn’t possibly greet him with a single word.
Checking Twitter every day, he hadn’t seen Su Jin update a single status.
He foolishly left comments saying hello to her, but received no response at all.
Bai Shunyuan was a bit puzzled by this woman.
Before leaving, weren’t they getting along pretty well? It’s only been a month...
Thinking about it, Bai Shunyuan, still upset, dialed her number again.
Su Jin had just put down her phone not long ago, and it rang again.
Seeing it was the same number, she was about to hang up directly.
Su Xiaomeng quickly said, "That’s just his temper, he means no harm. The less you answer, the more persistent he gets."
Su Jin paused, then pressed the answer button again, "Hello?"
"Su Jin, what do you mean? I hadn’t finished talking, and you hung up on me! How could you be so disrespect—"
The word "disrespectful" hadn’t even been finished, and the call was disconnected again.
Su Jin put the phone on silent mode and tossed it aside.
Su Xiaomeng cleared her throat, as she had already tried her best to help Bai Shunyuan...
As a sister, she had gone above and beyond.
The phone flashed, lit up for a long time.
Su Jin ignored it, and after preparing instant noodles, she ate them with Su Xiaomeng.
Su Xiaomeng couldn’t resist her gossiping nature and cautiously asked, "You haven’t been in contact with Bai Shunyuan, really?"
"Why would I be in contact with him? We have no relationship."
Su Jin honestly spoke.
Su Xiaomeng thought the same thing; perhaps she was overthinking.
"Then is this the first time he called you from the United States?"
"It’s the first time I’ve answered, though it seems not an important matter, with his sarcastic tone."
Su Xiaomeng felt secretly delighted inside.
Seeing Bai Shunyuan hit a wall with Su Jin inexplicably made her feel satisfied.
At least she didn’t have Su Jin’s courage, to decisively and swiftly hang up the phone.
The two ate instant noodles with some ham meat.
Previously reading all afternoon had made them tired, and now eating felt especially delicious.
Additionally, Su Jin was easy to get along with, so the two girls gathered together could chat about many topics.
They hadn’t spoken much when they completely forgot about the phone.
After finishing the noodles, Su Jin volunteered to tidy up in the kitchen.
The phone on the table rang again, and Su Xiaomeng stared at the number, feeling increasingly satisfied.
When Su Jin returned, the phone was still lit...
"You better answer it, just in case there’s something urgent?"
Su Xiaomeng said this, but she also didn’t believe Bai Shunyuan had anything urgent for Su Jin.
Su Jin took a deep breath and answered it again, skipping the "Hello."
Just picked it up...
"I was wrong, alright? You’re tough."
Bai Shunyuan admitted defeat.
He might not have needed to call again, but... calming down and thinking carefully.
Su Jin hadn’t done anything, hadn’t said anything, while he sarcastically criticized her.
And precisely, that woman wasn’t someone who would passively take insults...
Hanging up on him was quite normal.
"What do you need?"
Su Jin asked.
Bai Shunyuan swallowed, somewhat embarrassed, "Um... that, the love letter just now?"
