Bai Chen looked at Li Lin for a long while. He did not dare say anything because of how adorable she looked.
Li Lin wore light make-up and a blue flower barrette in the hair to the right of her forehead. She panted for a short while before looking up at him.
When she saw him in a nice-looking suit, which was different than his usual casual clothing, she paused before the tiny pair of eyes started blinking and surveying him more carefully.
Li Lin found that Bai Chen looked quite good that day. His cleanly handsome face fit oddly well with the suit.
All of a sudden, she blushed uncontrollably. Her little heart trembled as well.
Li Lin was falling very hard for the suit-wearing Bai Chen.
Truthfully, she had seen what he was wearing since when she was running. But because she had been running, she had not gotten a good look. Now that she had gotten a clear look at him, it was not odd that she would feel this emotion.
It was certain that Li Lin realized she had been falling for Bai Chen since the day before. After meeting up with him, she had come home and reevaluated her feelings, until finally, she confirmed that what she felt for him was more than friendship.
They both looked at each other without saying a word. They were very emotional.
‘I must have misunderstood things,’ Bai Chen thought when Li Lin came to see him herself.
It seemed like he had been imagining things earlier. The fact that she had come to see him after she had heard that he was leaving was enough to confirm her feelings for him.
Having realised this, Bai Chen relaxed and smiled.

“Nothing. I’m not smiling at anything,” Bai Chen replied as he continued to smile.
“Sorry, I was busy earlier, so I could not come out to fetch you myself.” Li Lin said. She felt like it was a necessary thing to say.
Bai Chen stopped short instantly. He had not expected her to say that. However, those words made him really happy. He quickly shook his head. “It’s all right. I should be the one apologising. I should have known you were busy.”
Li Lin smiled in an adorable manner. “Let’s go inside. I’ll introduce you to my parents.”
Once he heard that sentence, Bai Chen paused once more. He did not know what to do. Before this, he had decided to act normally when he met Li Lin’s parents. Now that he was put on the spot, he was not sure anymore.
“Okay,” Bai Chen answered before taking a deep breath.
Li Lin’s heart pounded fast. It was not like she did not feel anything about introducing Bai Chen to her parents. Introducing Bai Chen to her parents was a big deal for her too!
It was like introducing them to a young man she was interested in or a young man who would be her future boyfriend.
Of course, if it was like this, it would be odd if she did not feel something about it!
Li Lin shook her blushing face back and forth for a bit. She tried to act normal and led Bai Chen into the villa.
All the guards were staring with different emotions. However, all of them thought one thing in common, and that was Bai Chen must be Li Lin’s boyfriend!
Bai Chen had one important reason he could not ask Li Lin to be his girlfriend yet. That reason was he had to take revenge on Wang Chengye and the Wang family, one of the five biggest families of Beijing!
If that had not yet been accomplished, Bai Chen could not develop a serious relationship with Li Lin.
For Li Lin, she was a pretty lady from the biggest family in Xing Zhou. She could never be the one to ask a boy to be her boyfriend.
She had pride in herself and, of course, it was also because of shyness.
In only two to three minutes, they arrived at the entrance to the anniversary party.
The venue was decorated beautifully. Various flowers had been put up all along the red carpet leading to the large reception hall where the party was.
The people Li Lin led him past were all well-dressed. They also looked really wealthy.
It was clear they were all the rich and powerful people in Xing Zhou that had been invited to join this anniversary party.
“Little Lin, this is...”
When Li Lin and Bai Chen arrived at the entrance to the hall, Li Cong Tian’s eyes widened and stared at Bai Chen blankly for a bit before turning to his daughter and putting the question to her.
Li Yu’s reaction was not so different. She stopped smiling and turned to stare at her daughter.
Li Lin did not really know how to react to her parents’ gazes. She quickly introduced Bai Chen to them.
“Dad, mom, this is Bai Chen. He is a friend from school. I invited him. I hope you will make him feel welcome.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLi Cong Tian took a deep breath when he heard his only daughter’s words.
To his eyes, their relationship was more than that of just friends.
She had gone out to fetch him herself. How could they be just friends?
Li Cong Tian opened his mouth like he was about to say something. But he could not say anything because his wife spoke up first.
“It is very nice meeting you. I’m Li Yu, Li Lin’s mother. You can call me Auntie Yu. This is Li Lin’s father. You can call him Uncle Cong Tian.”
Her words came with a smile. Certainly, she also shared her husband’s thoughts that this boy was not a mere ‘friend’ to Li Lin.
But she chose not to ask her daughter about it now. She would wait to ask her daughter after the party.
If her daughter really had feelings for this boy, Li Yu was not going to stop her or interfere. After all, she had already decided not to do so.
If Li Lin liked someone or wanted to marry someone, Li Yu would give her support—no matter how rich or poor the person might be.
The only necessary thing was that her daughter liked the person and was happy with him.
The reason she thought this was because she and Li Cong Tian had previously picked a terrible fiancé like Xi Dong for their daughter.
Little did Li Yu know, the Xi Dong who had caused trouble was...the boy who was standing right in front of her!
This was the fake Xi Dong who had caused trouble!
