Chapter 1137: Chapter 1138: Clearing Things Up
“Why are you being so nice to ?” Li Xiangi asked.
The better Lin Yifan treated her, the harder it was for her to forget him.
“Because… because I once wronged you.”
Lin Yifan looked distressed, reluctant to bring up the past.
“You didn’t wrong . It was all that girl’s doing, so you don’t need to feel guilty or feel like you owe anything.”
Li Xiangi was a bit angry because Lin Yifan had never actually loved her; it had all been an act.
“But…”
“But what?” Li Xiangi demanded.
“Nothing, I just want to do what I can to help you.”
Lin Yifan hesitated, truthfully, at the ti, he did have feelings for Li Xiangi; if Li Xiangi had loved him as much as Su Qingqing did, he might have kept her around.
“No need. I have my own hands and feet, I can make a living.”
Li Xiangi didn’t want Lin Yifan’s pity, there was no reason for it.
“Xiao Qing, isn’t your sister too stubborn?”
Lin Yifan was truly helpless, he wanted to say the words, but felt the mont had passed, no need to dwell on it.
“Yes, yes, too…”
“You dare say more!”
Xiao Qing was intimidated by Li Xiangi’s gaze and didn’t dare to respond to Lin Yifan anymore.
Lin Yifan had rarely seen Li Xiangi so fierce; it appeared she really cared about what had happened.
“Ah! What should I do? Might as well admit, it’s suffocating to keep it inside.”
So he replied, “Miss Li, I help you because there is a reason.”
“What reason? Don’t tell it’s because we’re friends,” Li Xiangi eagerly asked.
“No, to be honest, I once liked you, but at that ti I already had a girlfriend. But little troublemaker Xiao Qing never let explain, and by fate we beca boyfriend and girlfriend.
I didn’t want to hurt you, so I had to keep up the lie; but a paper eventually can’t cover the fire, so things were bound to happen sooner or later; you left Guiyuan City because of , so when I ca to my senses, I always felt guilty.
Now eting you again, I just want to make up for the harm I caused back then, that’s all.”
“Why did you like if you had a girlfriend? You heartbreaker!” Li Xiangi couldn’t help but complain, but felt much better, and then curiously asked, “Did they leave you when they found out?”
“No, they just gave a stern talking-to, and then that was the end of it,” Lin Yifan replied.
“Do they love you that much?” Li Xiangi felt her own love was so insignificant; no wonder she couldn’t win the heart of the man she adored.
Now what she cared about most was this: “How many girlfriends do you have now?”
“Four!” Lin Yifan answered frankly, it was already common knowledge, no need to hide it.
“Four? So many, don’t they get jealous?” Li Xiangi was extrely surprised, finding it hard to imagine.
Even Xiao Qing felt the sa, with so many won vying for one man, how exhausting it must be.
“It’s impossible for them not to be jealous, they’re jealous every day.”
Currently, Lin Yifan missed the days when he and An Qi and the others lived happily together.
“Do they get along well?” Li Xiangi continued to ask.
“Very well.”
“No way! That’s not logical!”
“What’s not logical about it? As long as there’s mutual love, everyone becos family.”
“Then, Mr. Lin, are you interested in taking Xiangi in as well?” Xiao Qing asked.
Since Lin Yifan had so many won, adding one more shouldn’t be a problem, right?
Lin Yifan responded with a bitter smile, “No, because of , two won are already in danger, and another is being watched like a hostage. I really don’t want to drag any more innocent girls into this.”
“With your skills, can’t you beat them?” Xiao Qing was puzzled.
In her eyes, Lin Yifan was already highly skilled in martial arts; if he couldn’t defeat them, how strong could they be?
“They are among the most powerful forces in the world; at this stage, I don’t have the power to confront them.” Lin Yifan answered truthfully.
“Will you consider taking her as a concubine after you rescue them?” Xiao Qing asked hopefully.
“Well… I don’t know, it depends on the situation; the most important thing is, it depends on your sister Xiangi.”
Lin Yifan had reached this level of shalessness; perhaps it was unknowingly developed over ti.
Xiao Qing was extrely happy; Lin Yifan’s answer was a hint; he had already opened a big door for Li Xiangi, now it was up to her whether to step through.
She nudged Li Xiangi beside her, full of curiosity asking, “Sister Xiangi, do you want to join this big family?”
“No way, competing for attention every day, that’s exhausting.” Li Xiangi refused directly.
In fact, she was hesitant; she wanted to, but didn’t dare to, afraid she wouldn’t win Lin Yifan’s love, afraid of being neglected, afraid of being targeted by Lin Yifan’s other won, and so on.
“Who do you want to marry then? You’ve been looking for so long, and haven’t found anyone suitable.” Xiao Qing pursued.
“What’s the harm in looking a bit longer? At worst, I’ll never marry in this lifeti.” Li Xiangi replied.
“Such a great woman, what a pity not to marry.” Xiao Qing couldn’t help but sigh.
“I don’t want to talk about this topic anymore.”
Li Xiangi wanted to escape reality, at this point, she really hadn’t thought it through.
Although she liked Lin Yifan, what if she found soone more suitable? So she still wanted to consider her options, to see if she could really forget Lin Yifan.
The answer was already obvious; actually, Lin Yifan was a bit afraid of Li Xiangi agreeing, for by then, he wouldn’t know how to explain it to An Qi and the others.
The emotional knots had been untied, and everyone felt relieved, especially Li Xiangi.
She just wanted to know if Lin Yifan had ever liked her; as long as that doubt was resolved, everything else would be fine.
The three ate awkwardly, and if it weren’t for Xiao Qing keeping the atmosphere lively, they wouldn’t know how to get through the al.
After eating, the three went to stroll around the street, buying things and the like.
They arrived at a jewelry store, where Li Xiangi took a liking to a pendant but didn’t have the money to buy it.
Lin Yifan imdiately took out his wallet and paid without hesitation.
Xiao Qing watched in astonishnt, full of envy, jealousy, and resentnt, “Sister Xiangi, Mr. Lin is so good to you, a jade pendant worth tens of thousands, he paid imdiately without a word. If I t a man like that, I would definitely marry him.”
“Xiao Qing, stop inciting trouble as usual; this amount, I’ll treat it as a loan from Mr. Lin. Once I earn enough, I’ll repay it imdiately.”
Li Xiangi remained stubborn, not wanting to owe Lin Yifan too much.
