Chapter 75: You Finally Admitted That I’m Your Boyfriend?
“After Mrs. Yao and Zhu Jingjing left the company, they started fighting outside again. To be exact, Mrs. Yao held on to Zhu Jingjing, and announced everything that Zhu Jingjing did in public. It was even filmed by bystanders and uploaded to the internet. After that, they were only taken away by the police,” Wei Zilin said while half-smiling.
Yan Beicheng raised his eyebrows and finally admitted, “I want Zhu Jingjing to stay out of City B and to get her out of my wife’s sight. If she continues staying in City B, what if they bumped into each other coincidentally like they did today?”
Wei Zilin glanced at him, he felt that people who were wife-centered were all psychos. The structure of their brains was not something that people who were single and normal would understand.
At this time, the door of the room was knocked a few times. Then, a waiter pushed open the door and walked in. It was the waiter who passed by Lin Chu and Yang Zhiyuan.
“What’s the matter? We didn’t ask for anyone,” Yan Beicheng frowned, but he did not make a huge fuss over it.
The waiter hurriedly said, “Master Yan, I saw Ms. Lin just now with a middle-aged man. I overheard them while I was passing by, it seemed like it was a blind date. I heard the man telling Ms. Lin that he’s very fond of her.”
The waiter was about to say that according to what he had heard, the man would not be a threat to Yan Beicheng. He heard that he was a divorced man, and he even had a daughter. Yan Beicheng stood up immediately and rushed out before the waiter could finish his words.
The room was left with only the waiter and Wei Zilin looking at each other blankly.
Wei Zilin stood up unhurriedly and tapped on the shoulder of the waiter as he walked by. “I’ll be back in a bit. Don’t cancel whatever I’ve ordered, I’ll eat it later.”
After that, he walked out through the door slowly.
…
Lin Chu felt uneasy after listening to Yang Zhiyuan. She knew where he got his confidence from, but she still felt disgusted. She said calmly, “Thank you, President Yang, for your kind words. However, I think it’s too early for us to talk about these. Besides, I think that we’re not suitable for each other regardless of age, family, status and other aspects. I think that you’d be able to get a lot of younger girls with you have to offer. I’m not capable nor am I successful, I’m ordinary and unworthy of your admiration. I’m sorry that President Yang came here for nothing.”
The facial expression of Yang Zhiyuan sank. His displeasure was written all over on his face.
Apparently, he felt that his confession towards Lin Chu was considered an extremely high praise and an honor to her. With her improper title in Lin family, and her being unemployed, she should be happy that he took a fancy to her.
Was she playing hard to get, acting to be reserved so that he would think highly of her?
Yang Zhiyuan smirked. The wind blew from the side and lifted Lin Chu’s hair and adhered it on her face. Her cheeks, nose tip and red lips were vaguely seen beneath her soft black hair.
The black hair accentuated the smoothness of her skin and the redness of her lips. Yang Zhiyuan gulped, he was fascinated by Lin Chu. He had a sudden urge to touch her face to see if it was as smooth as it seemed.
Because of that, Yang Zhiyuan had already forgotten about his displeasure just now. It was simple for him to date a young model or celebrity, he just needed to pay them. However, their faces and bodies were sculptured using scalpels and injections. They were pretty, but they did not have the aura of elegance and class like Lin Chu.
It was different.
“We’ll know whether if we’re suitable for each other once we spend some time together,” Yang Zhiyuan smiled narcissistically. To Lin Chu, a smile like that was not fitting on a round face like his. He continued saying, “Ms. Lin would find out that I’m a great option after spending some time together with me.”
Lin Chu never denied that she was someone who was superficial and cares about appearance. It was a bit hard for Yang Zhiyuan to act cool with his face.
“I’m sorry,” Lin Chu said, “I already have someone else.”
Yang Zhiyuan was running out of patience, he started speaking in a colder tone. “Ms. Lin, I know that you’ve just graduated from university. You’re still young. You have some naïve fantasies about life and society, and also some wonderful expectations towards love. Sooner or later, you’ll realize that love is nothing compared to the realities of living. That someone else you’re talking about might be young, dashing. Besides that, I’m guessing he has nothing much just like you. He might have great speeches about being successful in life, promising you a glorious future. However, these are empty words, and he cannot provide for you. Love disappears without materialism. If he meets someone else better than you, he would abandon you without hesitating.”
Lin Chu could not deny that it was like that when she was together with Chen Ziming in the beginning. Chen Ziming was just like how he described.
However, she knew that the person she was with now would not disappoint her and put her through all these. He was different from Chen Ziming.
Yang Zhiyuan might be right, but she only experienced all that because of Chen Ziming.
“It’s my own business no matter the outcome. President Yang, you don’t have to worry about it.” Lin Chu was as impatient as Yang Zhiyuan, but she remained polite as before as she just wanted to get rid of Yang Zhiyuan. “I’m sorry, I have something important to do. I have to leave now.”
“Wait!” Yang Zhiyuan quickly grabbed her arms when she was about to turn around.
It seemed like he was afraid that she would run away, so his grip was very firm. Lin Chu frowned.
Yang Zhiyuan saw her face but he did not loosen his grip.
“I might have been too serious just now, but you’re too innocent and I need you to understand it clearly. You’ll know that I’m the most suitable one for you once you go out with me and see the realities of everything,” Yang Zhiyuan said. He glanced at the nearby parking lot and asked, “Where are you going? I’ll send you.”
Lin Chu wanted to withdraw her arm, but Yang Zhiyuan was holding on to it so tight that it was hurting her. Lin Chu could feel her anger rising rapidly.
“Please let go of my hand, President Yang,” Lin Chu said looking displeased.
Yang Zhiyuan tried to maintain his composure as he said, “Ms. Lin, I was polite to you out of respect, but it doesn’t mean that I have to put up with you.”
Lin Chu understood what Yang Zhiyuan meant, he was telling her to not be ungrateful.
Lin Chu curled her lips and sneered, “I just didn’t want you to send me, how is this putting up with me? I have nothing to do with you, you don’t have any rights to comment on my actions. President Yang, I’ll make it clear with you as you did. It’s my decision to live in poverty or to lead a wealthy life. It’s my own life, so it’s up to me to make a choice, not you. You think that being rich is your advantage, but I don’t care about this. You think that there are many girls out there who like you, then you can go for them.”
“To me, you are old enough to be my father. How did you have the confidence to come to me? I don’t favor your money, and I don’t favor your age, so you don’t need to put up with me. There’s no need for us to go on,” Lin Chu said, shaking her arm violently to get rid of his grip on her.
Yang Zhiyuan’s face reddened and was shamed into anger after hearing that. He became more reluctant to let go of Lin Chu.
“I’m giving you a ride today no matter what. I was polite to you seeing that you’re still young. Since you said so, I don’t have to respectful toward you. What rights do you think you have to choose? The Lin family will give you away to me if I want them to,” Yang Zhiyuan said.
“Give her away to you? Let the Lin family come to me first and see if they dare to do so!” There was an extra hand on Yang Zhiyuan’s wrist. It was masculine and attractive.
Yan Beicheng gnashed his teeth, and swung off Yang Zhiyuan’s hand, and asked Lin Chu, “What is this uncle trying to do, pushing and pulling in public?”
Yang Zhiyuan was so angry that his face twisted when he heard Yan Beicheng calling him an uncle. Lin Chu already made a sarcastic remark of him being old, now that Yan Beicheng called him an uncle, he was infuriated.
He looked at Yan Beicheng and thought that he was not young as well. Who is he calling uncle!
“Who’s this?” Yang Zhiyuan asked unkindly, but he was directing his question to Lin Chu.
Yan Beicheng showed dismissiveness towards Yang Zhiyuan on his alluring face. He took Lin Chu by her shoulders with his long arms and held her in his arms.
Lin Chu’s heartbeat was messed up.
When she told Yang Zhiyuan that she had feelings for someone else, she was not just using it as an excuse. She did not know how she blurted that out, and the image of Yan Beicheng’s charming face appeared in her mind.
Lin Chu blushed. She had no choice but to say, “My boyfriend.”
She could feel her scalp going numb after she said that, she did not dare to make eye contact with anyone. She felt that Yan Beicheng hugged her even tighter, his long arms stretched across her back and held her elbow. It was as if she was being handcuffed and locked into place firmly.
Yan Beicheng moved his lips and smiled faintly towards Yang Zhiyuan. “I’m here to pick up my girlfriend.”
After he said that, he stopped bothering about Yang Zhiyuan. Then, he turned around and left with Lin Chu.
Yang Zhiyuan turned pale in anger as he saw them leaving, he heard Yan Beicheng asking Lin Chu, “Was he bothering you?”
His face took on a more ghastly expression as he saw Lin Chu paused for a moment and nodded.
Lin Chu felt her scalp going numb as if it was getting lifted. She lowered her head, but she could feel that Yan Beicheng was looking at her. Her face was burning up due to his gaze. Her face was getting redder and redder uncontrollably.
“Can you stop staring…,” Lin Chu braced herself and looked up. Before she could finish her sentence, a shadow loomed on top of her head. He kissed her while they were walking, with his arm around her shoulder.
Lin Chu widened her eyes as she gasped.
This was in public!
On top of that, it was in front of the doorway of the crowded and busy Sheng Yue!
Lin Chu pushed him away instantly, she could feel the soft caress on her lips. She heard him murmuring with his sexy deep voice, and her lips felt as if they were electrocuted, “Yang Zhiyuan’s watching behind. Am I not your boyfriend?”
Lin Chu was at a loss for words, “…”
Lin Chu was incapacitated suddenly. Yan Beicheng took the opportunity to kiss her deeper, filling her entire mouth with his. Lin Chu was almost lifted off the ground by him, she could not stop trembling.
Yang Zhiyuan grunted angrily, then walked into Sheng Yue with a cold face.
Wei Zilin raised his eyebrows, then he found a good angle and took a photo of Yan Beicheng and Lin Chu without hesitating. After that, he sent the photo to the ‘8×8 is 64’ group chat.
…
“President Yang,” Lin Yuwen had a bad feeling when she saw Yang Zhiyuan came back alone without Lin Chu.
Yang Zhiyuan said forthrightly with a stern face, “The Lin family has gone too far in this matter. Lin Chu already has a boyfriend, but you still introduced her to me. I don’t need to beg for someone who has nothing to be my wife. I’m not desperate to this extent. A lot of women are longing to be Mrs. Yang. Even if Lin Mao’s superior compared to Cheng Yuan, there’s no reason to humiliate me like this!”
Lin Chu’s facial expression changed, her eyes were blinking non-stop as her eyeballs rolled up and down. She hurriedly stood up. “President Yang, you…you said that Lin Chu has a boyfriend? That’s impossible, she…she just broke up.”
“What do you mean impossible? Do I have to lie to you about something mortifying like this? I saw her boyfriend with my own eyes just now, and I saw them leaving together.”
Yang Zhiyuan left out the part where Yan Beicheng asked the Lin family to go to him. He was not planning to let them know about something as embarrassing as this. Besides, he did not believe Yan Beicheng because he felt like Yan Beicheng was only putting up a bold front and bluffing.
Chen Ziming thought of the Grand Cherokee he saw that night, but he could not see the man in the car clearly. He asked, “President Yang, did you see if he drove? If he did, what car was he driving?”
“No, do you think I was still in the mood to watch them?” Yang Zhiyuan said unkindly, “Hmph, I’ll remember the humiliation that the Lin family caused me!”
Yang Zhiyuan walked away after saying that.
“What…what do we do now? Why didn’t Lin Chu tell us that she has a boyfriend? Besides, she looked like she hasn’t gotten over Ziming,” Old Lady Lin was anxious. She grabbed Lin Yuwen and said,” She has caused us to offend President Yang for no good reason.”
“Grandma, don’t worry,” Chen Ziming was calm. “Cheng Yuan is of no match to Lin Mao. Yang Zhiyuan said that because he wants to get some benefits from Lin Mao. I don’t think he cares much about Lin Chu. He just wants to take this opportunity to gain some benefits. He was only pretending to be angry. He won’t remember the things that happened here today if Lin Mao offers him some business deals.”
Old Lady Lin was skeptical, “Is that so?”
“That’s right,” Lin Yuwen said reassuringly. “Yang Zhiyuan only promised to meet with Lin Chu because of the benefits he can gain from the Lin family. Otherwise, he wouldn’t even take a fancy to Lin Chu with her status. He wouldn’t dare to offend the Lin family. Don’t worry.”
“Well, that’s a relief.” Old Lady Lin straightened her chest, picked up the cup and drank some hot tea to calm her nerves.
…
Lin Chu sat on Yan Beicheng’s Grand Cherokee. Yan Beicheng did not start the car but was staring at her.
Lin Chu lowered her head, she was blushing like mad. She was shy to look at him as she could feel his stare was giving out blazing heat. She could still feel the soft feeling on her lips that he left behind.
She subconsciously sucked in her lips when she thought of what happened just now. She licked her lips secretly and could taste the flavor of his lips.
Yan Beicheng was overjoyed because Lin Chu addressed him as her boyfriend.
Although he knew that her words were governed by expediency, he was still happy. She was not willing to admit it all along, but he was glad that she resorted to him in a critical moment.
He was extremely pissed off when he heard that she had an arranged date in Sheng Yue.
When she walked out the door, Lin Chu had her back to him and he saw Yang Zhiyuan grabbing Lin Chu’s arms. His raging fire was burning up higher and higher.
However, he was no longer angry when she heard her refusal to Yang Zhiyuan and her calling him his boyfriend.
He thought to himself as he looked at the shy and embarrassed face of Lin Chu.
She was breathtakingly beautiful.
Yan BeiCheng could not move his eyes away from her, he almost forgot why he had been staring at her. His eyes were fixated on her.
Lin Chu could not help and turned her head to look at him, “Stop staring. Are you going to drive or not?”
“You finally admitted that I’m your boyfriend?” Yan Beicheng asked with a half-smile. He stopped putting his hand on the steering wheel, he turned his body and placed his elbows on the back of the chair. He looked like a scoundrel as he rested the side of his head on his palm.
“…” She was still blushing. Lin Chu moved her mouth, but she did not say anything to deny it.
