CHAPTER 116: CHAPTER 116: DON’T MESS WITH HER

Yang Lin watched Lin Xiaoyan close the shop door, "Let me take you out for dinner."

Lin Xiaoyan instinctively wanted to refuse.

"There’s something I’d like your help with."

Hearing Yang Lin mention there was something up, Lin Xiaoyan nodded and said, "Alright."

Yang Lin drove Lin Xiaoyan to a restaurant very close to where she lived.

At this hour, the restaurant was still very busy.

The two randomly found a place to sit, and Yang Lin took the menu, letting Lin Xiaoyan see if there was anything she wanted to eat.

Lin Xiaoyan glanced and ordered sweet and sour pork, then handed the menu to Yang Lin.

Yang Lin ordered two more dishes and a soup, then handed it over to the waiter.

"How was this trip to Beijing?" Yang Lin asked as he poured tea for Lin Xiaoyan.

"It was alright, except... I experienced a different world," Lin Xiaoyan said tactfully.

Yang Lin laughed at her words, "It really is a different world. Were you scared?"

"Terrified, I was so scared!" Lin Xiaoyan made a face like she never wanted to experience it again.

"Haha, but anyone would be afraid of such a thing."

"Ah, I used to only see such things in movies, I never expected..."

The two had a pleasant conversation, and after the meal, Lin Xiaoyan suddenly realized, didn’t Yang Lin say there was something? Why hasn’t he mentioned it?

In the car, Lin Xiaoyan looked at Yang Lin driving beside her.

Seeing his side profile, Lin Xiaoyan felt a bit sad. Ah, why couldn’t she control her own heart?

"What’s wrong?"

Feeling the sudden drop in mood, Yang Lin asked gently.

"It’s nothing. By the way, didn’t you say you had something?" Lin Xiaoyan asked, collecting her emotions.

"Oh, I originally wanted you to take a look at someone for me."

"But she just called and said she had something come up, so never mind."

"Huh? Doesn’t that mean I’ve gotten a free meal tonight?" Lin Xiaoyan smiled helplessly.

"Hahaha, yes, so next time, you’ll have to treat me!"

"Absolutely, definitely!"

At the entrance to the complex, Lin Xiaoyan bid farewell to Yang Lin and got out to go home.

Watching Lin Xiaoyan enter the complex, Yang Lin prepared to drive home when the car door was suddenly knocked on.

"What are you doing here?" Yang Lin looked surprised at He Qi’an. When he saw the instant noodles in He Qi’an’s hand, he remembered He Qi’an seemed to live here too.

He Qi’an stared at Yang Lin, rudely sat in the passenger seat.

"What do you want?"

"What?" Yang Lin looked at He Qi’an.

He Qi’an looked into the complex, Lin Xiaoyan’s figure was already out of sight.

"Don’t tell me you’re trying to pursue her."

Yang Lin: ...

He Qi’an turned to look at Yang Lin, "Trying to repay her saving your life with love?"

Yang Lin’s face sank, losing the warmth he usually had.

"You’re overthinking it, I just care about her being alone in Sea City."

"Haha!"

He Qi’an let out a cold laugh, "Since when has Doctor Yang been so kind?"

"I advise you, if you don’t truly like her, don’t lead her on."

"Lin Xiaoyan is a very pure girl, she’s not suitable for you."

"Suitable for you?" Yang Lin retorted.

He Qi’an leaned back in the seat, lit a cigarette, "She’s suitable for a man who loves her wholeheartedly and treats her well."

The smoke filled the car, He Qi’an continued, "I don’t believe Doctor Yang fell for someone just because she saved your life.

If that’s the case, those women in Beijing chasing you would be slicing their heads off to try and save you..."

Yang Lin’s eyes flickered slightly, remaining silent.

He Qi’an patted his shoulder, "Lin Xiaoyan works for the Special Investigation Bureau, she’s protected by the state.

Besides, among those she’s saved are very important people from above.

So, she’s also being watched from above.

That girl’s quite simple, also very kind, and her thoughts aren’t hard to guess. I think you’ve guessed her feelings..."

"Don’t hurt her, don’t give her false hope."

He Qi’an left these words, then opened the car door and left.

Sitting in the car, Yang Lin didn’t speak. He calmly opened the window to let the smoke disperse, while looking at the complex ahead.

Moments later, he sighed deeply, chuckled softly, and drove away.

Meanwhile, after returning home, Lin Xiaoyan sat on the sofa, anxiously running her fingers through her hair.

"He doesn’t like you! Be reserved, stop daydreaming!"

Lin Xiaoyan covered her heart, warning herself again not to fantasize.

Yang Lin was so exceptional, why would he possibly notice her!

Lin Xiaoyan couldn’t help herself, picking up the mirror on the table to look at her face.

Lin Xiaoyan’s features weren’t unpleasant, she fell into the category of demure, graceful girls, clearly one of those obedient ones.

But, she wasn’t in the strikingly beautiful category, in a crowd, she wouldn’t stand out or catch anyone’s eye...

"Ah, wishful thinking!" Lin Xiaoyan murmured to herself in the mirror.

Then she weakly got up to wash up.

Having never been in a relationship, during school, seeing tall, handsome boys, of course, she’d daydream, silently pay attention.

When interacting with the opposite sex, a girl’s heart easily flutters.

After her shower, Lin Xiaoyan ultimately attributed this flutter to her lack of romantic experiences!

She thought of Liu Xin’s experiences, and then of Li Mei’s, marriage? Forget it, staying single seems safer!

At the same time

The man who had caused trouble at the milk tea shop during the day was yelling furiously at his father.

"Where’s the money? Why did you sell the shop?! Xinxin also wants to open a milk tea shop, and you’re telling me you sold it?"

The man’s mind was already somewhat deranged, he pointed his finger at his father, questioning him.

The man’s father looked at his son’s state, extremely disappointed inside.

"It’s my property, I sell it if I want to, why do I need to tell you?"

"It’s mine! Mine! You’re going to die, everything of yours will be mine!" The man shouted madly.

"You ungrateful wretch! I’m not even dead yet, and you’re already hoping for it!"

The man’s father was almost choked by his son’s words, "Even if I die, nothing of mine will go to you! You do nothing, just eat, drink, and play!

Do you even know what kind of woman your girlfriend is? I won’t let her enter this house, you’d better break up with her soon!"

"Also, if you want my property, get rid of all those dubious friends outside! Find a proper job and work honestly!"

"I won’t give you a single penny, you..."

"Bang!"

The man picked up the teapot on the table and slammed it hard to the ground.

The man’s father was startled, when he saw the broken teapot on the ground, veins bulged on his forehead, he went up and slapped his unfilial son.

"That teapot cost me fifty thousand, and you just smashed it, you little brat!"

"How dare you hit me?" The man’s eyes turned red, he shoved his father to the ground.

He straddled his father and began to violently assault him...
