When Xiao Jinyu saw Xia Lin again, he felt something was off. He'd only been out for less than half a day. What had happened? He had to find out.
Actually, Xia Lin hadn't planned to hide it from Xiao Jinyu. Since he asked, Xia Lin told him everything.
"David confessed his love to me."
This simple sentence enraged Xiao Jinyu. "I knew he looked up to no good. So he has dirty thoughts about you!"
Xia Lin smiled and comforted Xiao Jinyu. "Jinyu, don't worry. I've already handled this. Don't worry. David and I will just be ordinary friends from now on."
Xiao Jinyu frowned. "But even if we're just ordinary friends..."
"Relax, relax. We only come here once a year at most. David has to inherit his uncle's business and can't just go to China casually. So we'll have few chances to meet him. Don't worry."
Only then did Xiao Jinyu feel relieved. But he still told Xia Lin, "But Xiaolin, we'll still be here for twenty days. Try to avoid David from now on."
Xia Lin walked up to Xiao Jinyu, pinched his face and joked, "Got it, Mr. Jealous. Let's go out for lunch today."
"Okay. I've set my eyes on a restaurant. It's not very big, but its signature dishes are delicious. Let's go."
A few minutes after Xia Lin and Xiao Jinyu left, David came back. Not seeing Xia Lin, he shook his head disappointedly.
"Lin isn't here."
Ling Feng happened to be coming downstairs. Hearing David say this, he snorted. "Don't covet someone who doesn't belong to you."
David sighed. "Hey, I know. It's just that if I'd met Lin earlier, things might have been different."
If Xia Lin had heard this, he would have told David without hesitation, "No. Even if I'd met you earlier, I'd still fall in love with Xiao Jinyu." Because Xiao Jinyu was the target character, so the one he would fall in love with must be Xiao Jinyu.
In the following days, although David said he'd be just an ordinary friend to Xia Lin, it was obvious that he still didn't give up trying to steal Xia Lin away.
So after only twenty days at Ling Feng's place, Xiao Jinyu made an excuse that there were important matters in the country and returned to China early with Xia Lin.
A few months after they returned to China, a big event happened. The ambiguous photos of Xia Lin and Duan Xue were exposed.
Xia Lin was ordered to take a three - month suspension from school. Although Xiao Jinyu could use his influence to prevent Xia Lin from taking a suspension.
But Xia Lin stopped Xiao Jinyu. "Forget it. Since I can go back to school in three months, I'll just take a break. Anyway, I just can't do my internship. I didn't really want to do it in the first place." Actually, Xia Lin knew that the "ambiguous photo" incident had caused quite a stir. The school only made him take a three - month suspension because of Xiao Jinyu's influence.
Soon, Xia Lin saw Duan Xue who had been captured by Xiao Jinyu's men. At this moment, her clothes were dirty and there were slap marks on her face. She looked very embarrassed.
She cried pitifully. "I didn't do it. It wasn't me. It was that woman surnamed Ai! It must be Ai Ya who leaked the photos!"
Xiao Jinyu tapped on the table. Immediately, one of his men stepped forward and slapped her again. "Be honest. Don't try to deceive the boss!"
Xiao Jinyu frowned. "Don't call me boss. Call me Chairman." Really. He was no longer in the underworld, but they still used his old title.
