Chapter 181: On the Way Home
At that moment, Qin Xiaoxu received a message from Lin Zhiyuan, looking very calm. She didn't even bother to reply and just started playing a game.
Meanwhile, Lin Zhiyuan saw the two of them huddled so close together that his face turned green with anger.
Noticing his expression, his girlfriend sitting beside him suddenly furrowed her brows, looked at his unhappy face, and asked, "What's wrong? You seem a bit off today. Why do you keep looking over there? What's your relationship with that woman?"
Lin Zhiyuan's girlfriend couldn't help but inquire. She had noticed Qin Xiaoxu at a glance, because in that group, Qin Xiaoxu's demeanor was indeed outstanding.
Only then did Lin Zhiyuan turn around and said, "Nothing, nothing, just an old classmate. Don't think too much about it. Look, she already has a boyfriend."
Upon hearing this, the girl glanced sideways at the scene in front of her.
With Qin Xiaoxu and Lin Jie so close to each other, there was naturally no chance for Lin Zhiyuan.
When playing the game, Qin Xiaoxu was very excited and immediately called out, "Hurry up and let me have the minion wave, give it to me."
Lin Jie, fully engaged in the game, just chuckled and said, "Giving you the minion wave won't help you. You'd better go jungle now!"
While saying this, Qin Xiaoxu pinched Lin Jie's wrist hard. Lin Jie yelped in pain and, with a shake of his hand, lost the position to Qin Xiaoxu.
At that moment, Lin Zhiyuan, who was watching on the side, felt jealous seeing how close the two were. He couldn't say much, but his girlfriend beside him showed a displeased look.
Who could tolerate their boyfriend always staring at someone else?
But her relationship with Lin Zhiyuan could only be considered as them hanging out together, so there was no need to make a big fuss about it.
After all, the girl seemed to come from a well-off family and would definitely not be interested in someone like Lin Zhiyuan.
At this time, Lin Jie, who had been absorbed in the game, also noticed Lin Zhiyuan's gaze. Naturally, this sparked his mischievous side even more, and he moved closer to Qin Xiaoxu.
He leaned in very close, whispering in her ear, "See, good thing you have me as your fake boyfriend to ward him off, otherwise that guy would definitely take things too far."
Hearing this, Qin Xiaoxu finally looked up towards the front.
Indeed, Lin Zhiyuan was still staring at her, but she didn't look at Lin Zhiyuan. Instead, she just lowered her head to continue playing the game and snorted, "The fact that such a man could have a girlfriend is truly laughable!"
Hearing Qin Xiaoxu's words, Lin Jie just smiled lightly and said, "I don't care. In any case, I've helped you this time!"
At this, Qin Xiaoxu looked at Lin Jie somewhat surprised. Based on her understanding, Lin Jie was usually quite shy. She didn't expect him to be so shameless this time. She just smiled faintly and snorted.
Of course, she was not so naive as to fall for Lin Zhiyuan's tricks.
In fact, Lin Zhiyuan was not even comparable to the young guy sitting next to her.
Thinking this, Qin Xiaoxu couldn't help but glance at Lin Jie, who simply smiled faintly and then focused on playing the game again.
Because Lin Yi had told everyone that they could order whatever they wanted, the classmates didn't hold back. Although some restrained themselves a little, there were still others who unreservedly grabbed expensive drinks like Moutai without a second thought.
But Lin Yi didn't care much, as these amounts were only petty cash to him, and his hotel could easily afford them.
However, today Lin Yi and Lin Jie both only ate a little food, and didn't drink any alcohol.
After all, both of them had driven there; if it had been just one of them, they could have found a substitute driver.
But since they came with girls, it naturally wasn't very convenient, so neither Lin Yi nor Lin Jie drank.
Soon, the banquet ended, and after saying thanks, everyone made their way to the lobby on the first floor.
Lin Jie directly drove off in a sedan worth several hundred thousand yuan and picked up Qin Xiaoxu. This scene somewhat surprised Lin Zhiyuan.
Lin Jie didn't seem like someone from a great family! His car was just an average family sedan, about two hundred thousand yuan or so, and it looked quite old; it seemed he really was just a poser.
Lin Zhiyuan thought with disdain in his eyes, but Lin Jie didn't care; he had wanted to buy a nice car for himself, but his father had forbidden it, thinking it was too showy.
Going to university and then comparing himself with others on the outside was unnecessary, so his father only allowed him to buy a car worth ten or twenty thousand yuan—as long as it could run, it was fine.
Lin Jie didn't say much; he didn't care. After all, his gaming setup was worth more than the car.
When Lin Yi drove his car over, the female classmates all showed expressions of surprise; they had never seen such a luxurious car before, and it obviously looked very expensive.
Some of the boys who knew about cars also looked shocked, as this car was worth several houses.
Lin Yi picked up Han Xuewei and also took along a few female friends from university who were close to her.
The girls didn't stand on ceremony and promptly got into Lin Yi's car.
His car was very spacious; fitting four or five people was not a problem at all. Once inside Lin Yi's car, many of the girls were astounded by the interior equipment. Continue reading at empire
They couldn't help but compliment Han Xuewei, "Vivi, your husband is seriously incredible. Look at this car, I couldn't even dream of sitting in one like this!"
"Yeah, Vivi, your husband is so capable and caring. I really hope to find a husband as good as him one day!"
"What are you all talking nonsense for? Vivi is great too. She is so beautiful and so smart, it's totally normal for her to have a husband who loves her. If you're envious, you should work on improving yourselves!"
The girls chatted and laughed, and one of them turned to Han Xuewei and couldn't help asking, "Vivi, none of us knew about your wedding beforehand—it was only after we heard about it on the school forum. Why didn't you invite us?"
Hearing this, Han Xuewei looked a bit embarrassed and immediately responded, "Because the wedding was so rushed, it was a sudden decision. We didn't have time to tell everyone, and my parents also thought it was just a ceremony at the time, so they didn't announce it. If there's a chance in the future, I'll invite everyone over for a meal."
Seeing Han Xuewei's guilty expression, the group of girls felt a bit embarrassed.
They quickly said, "It's okay, Vivi. We don't really mind. We just feel close to you and wanted to witness your wedding, that's all!"
"Exactly, exactly. You must have looked beautiful in your wedding dress. And about that meal you just mentioned inviting us to, we'll hold you to that—don't forget when the time comes!"
