Chapter 105 Will You Be My Girlfriend?

Lin Xiyin didn't cry when she gave birth.

She has always been grateful.

When she was pregnant with Lin Youxing, the little one was very well-behaved; she had neither morning sickness nor any other discomfort.

Xiao Ruoyi had previously worried that she might feel uncomfortable while traveling abroad, but it turned out that she didn't.

Late pregnancy symptoms include back pain, swelling, leg cramps, etc.

She didn't have any.

This child seems to have come to repay a debt of gratitude.

The delivery itself went very smoothly.

So she only burst into tears the moment she saw her child after giving birth.

She never cried again after that.

Is life difficult for single mothers?

Even if Lin Xiyin is not in financial difficulty, to be honest, life as a single mother is indeed not easy.

She wants to be responsible for all of her child's education by herself.

She has to constantly worry about her child's mental health.

They also have to deal with questions from people about the child's father when they go out.

A complete family has a father, a mother, and children.

But her family was incomplete.

Fortunately, Lin Youxing was very well-behaved and obedient. Ever since Lin Xiyin explained to him that he didn't have a father, the little guy accepted the fact.

If someone asks about his dad when he goes out, he'll say, "I don't have a dad!"

If the other person continues to ask, "Why isn't there a father?"

He would say, "We've broken up."

He doesn't speak in long sentences.

But he understood that his father and mother had separated.

So he doesn't have a father, he only has a mother.

In fact, Xiao Ruoyi had previously told Lin Xiyin to tell the child directly that his father had died.

To avoid the child having any lingering thoughts about going to find their father later.

But Lin Xiyin didn't want to tell such an outrageous lie to the child.

Life is tough for single mothers, but Lin Xiyin never cried.

Now, she cried because she felt sorry for Xiao Ruoyi.

Xiao Ruoyi was also startled and quickly grabbed a tissue to wipe her tears: "What are you doing? It happened so long ago, I would have forgotten about it if you didn't bring it up today!"

“You didn’t…” Lin Xiyin said, sniffling, “If you had forgotten, you wouldn’t be crying…”

"Who hasn't had a stupid, naive youth? Who hasn't fallen for a few jerks?" Xiao Ruoyi said, "I promise, this is the last time I'll cry over this. Damn it, those bastards aren't worth my tears."

Lin Xiyin burst into laughter through her tears.

Xiao Ruoyi sighed and said, "I'm rich, beautiful, and healthy. I have no pressure. Why should I entrust my happiness to a man?"

Xiao Ruoyi's parents are very open-minded. A few years ago, they wanted her to go on blind dates, but they have given up on that idea and now let her do as she pleases.

So now she can really do whatever she wants.

Lin Xiyin thought about it and felt that Xiao Ruoyi's thinking didn't seem wrong.

Who decided that women must get married, find a man, and have children?

Xiao Ruoyi wants to live her own life; she has the freedom and the ability to do so.

A female CEO who manages several listed companies should live a carefree and unrestrained life.

Xiao Ruoyi wiped away her tears and threw away the tissue: "Alright, let's not mention this again, okay?"

"Okay," Lin Xiyin said. "Then I won't force you anymore. How you want to treat him is your freedom, as long as you're happy."

Xiao Ruoyi smiled and said, "It's time for us to break up."

Lin Xiyin looked at her.

Xiao Ruoyi said, "I don't care. Do you think his family would let him remain unmarried since he's an only child?"

This is a harsh reality.

Therefore, Huo Xianyang himself could not withstand the pressure from his family and asked Lin Xiyin to help persuade Xiao Ruoyi.

If before, Lin Xiyin felt sorry for Huo Xianyang.

Now that she knows the whole story, she only feels sorry for Xiao Ruoyi.

As for Huo Xianyang...

He deserved it.

Lin Xiyin took a moment to call Huo Xianyang back.

She said, "I'm sorry, Attorney Huo, I can't help you."

Huo Xianyang didn't sound disappointed: "No need to apologize. I just wanted to try anything, even if I didn't have much hope."

Lin Xiyin didn't want to say more to him, but after holding back, she couldn't help but say, "Attorney Huo, what you did... went too far. Don't blame Yiyi for not forgiving you; she's actually a very soft-hearted person..."

Huo Xianyang was taken aback for a moment, then asked her, "You know? Yiyi... told you?"

In fact, Huo Xianyang had wanted to tell Lin Xiyin about it more than once. He wanted to repent and make amends.

Lin Xiyin is Xiao Ruoyi's best friend, and he wants Lin Xiyin to help him.

But he also knew that this matter concerned Xiao Ruoyi's reputation.

If he were to reveal the whole story, Xiao Ruoyi would probably be even angrier.

That's why he never mentioned it.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Ruoyi took the initiative to tell Lin Xiyin.

“She told me,” Lin Xiyin said. “So I’m sorry, I can’t help you.”

"I told you, you don't need to apologize to me." Huo Xianyang's voice lowered. "It's me who apologized to her."

The rights and wrongs of what happened back then have become indistinguishable after so many years of entanglement.

Back then, he didn't know that he was paying attention to Xiao Ruoyi, who was like a tomboy, and that he was having fun with her.

He didn't know that was love.

Young people are full of passion, and sometimes they blurt things out in the heat of the moment.

However, by the time he realized he had hurt the girl, it was too late for regrets.

He has spent many years repenting for the mistakes he made when he was young and trying to make amends.

Xiao Ruoyi still wouldn't give him a chance.

When two people are in sync in bed, he thinks they are deeply in love and incredibly sweet together.

But once he got out of bed, Xiao Ruoyi's attitude towards him was always lukewarm.

Huo Xianyang knew he deserved it.

This is the punishment for the mistakes he made.

But even if it's a punishment, almost ten years is enough, isn't it?

He greedily wanted to take it a step further, to possess her more.

That's why I asked Lin Xiyin for help.

But even that last hope has vanished.

He even thought that even if it was like this, it would be fine.

As long as Xiao Ruoyi is still by his side.

As long as... the two of them are still together.

Regardless of the form it takes.

He went to talk to his family.

He shouldered all the pressure.

But shortly after hanging up the phone, he received a message from Xiao Ruoyi.

Finish.

There are only two words.

There isn't even a punctuation mark.

Huo Xianyang's fingertips trembled as he held the phone.

Xiao Ruoyi sent a message, decisively deleted all contact information, and then threw her phone aside.

She should have let it go long ago.

This abnormal relationship should have ended long ago.

Xiao Ruoyi stayed with Lin Xiyin in the hospital for three days.

Thanks to her, Lin Xiyin was able to find some time to go out and accompany the big boss's apprentice to the local museum.

She had promised to do it before, but her child got sick and she missed a day.

Li Xingzhi was also present on the day he accompanied the big boss's apprentice.

Besides her, Li Xingzhi was also selected for this overseas project.

Of all the students enrolled at Haicheng University, only she and Li Xingzhi were selected.

After hosting the guests and seeing them off, Li Xingzhi looked at her and said, "Sister, would you like to have a meal together?"

Lin Xiyin refused: "Not today, I... have something to do."

I almost blurted out that I was going to the hospital.

The two had worked together for three years, and Li Xingzhi had long since grown from a naive young man into a responsible man.

The fact that Lin Xiyin was divorced and had a child could not be kept secret.

Li Xingzhi still called her "sister," as if nothing had changed.

He also sent a gift when the child was born.

He later wanted to get closer to Lin Xiyin's life, but Lin Xiyin did not give him that opportunity.

He only encountered Lin Xiyin holding a child once while abroad.

If he was young before and only admired Lin Xiyin's professional abilities, after three years, Li Xingzhi has a very clear understanding of his feelings for Lin Xiyin.

Even though she was divorced and had children, it didn't stop him from liking her.

But Lin Xiyin clearly wouldn't give him that opportunity.

They didn't even have a chance to confess their feelings.

Every time he tried to say something similar, Lin Xiyin would promptly change the subject.

Li Xingzhi knew that Lin Xiyin did not like him.

Perhaps she was just hesitant, worried that she was younger than her.

But Li Xingzhi didn't see this as a problem.

“Sister…” Li Xingzhi looked at her: “Then at least listen to me for a few words.”

"Xingzhi..."

"Lin Xiyin." Li Xingzhi called her name for the first time: "Is it so hard for me to confess my feelings? You can't even give me a few words?"

Lin Xiyin was taken aback by his directness and stood there stunned for a moment.

Li Xingzhi grabbed her hand: "Sister, don't underestimate me just because I'm young. I'm an adult too. I can take care of you and the children. Please give me a chance, okay?"

Lin Xiyin could actually vaguely sense Li Xingzhi's attention and affection for her.

Before going abroad, things were fine; the two of them only interacted through exchanges of academic knowledge.

But after going abroad, we started to cross paths more often.

Moreover, compatriots tend to be closer to each other abroad.

Besides, they are from the same university and share the same mentor.

But Lin Xiyin had never considered this matter.

She now devotes all her energy to her children and work.

I never even considered going back to romance.

Not to mention, she always treated Li Xingzhi as her younger brother.

That's why she didn't even give him a chance to confess his feelings.

When she came to her senses, she realized that Li Xingzhi had grabbed her hand.

She hurriedly tried to shrink back, but Li Xingzhi wouldn't let go.

"Sister, what is wrong with me?"

Li Xingzhi was, after all, a man, and was much stronger than Lin Xiyin.

Looking at the person he had secretly loved for three years and longed for day and night, he could no longer control his emotions.

Abroad, the two can still spend time together day and night.

However, after returning to China, she had already left the school, and it was now extremely difficult for him to see her.

Li Xingzhi didn't want to wait any longer.

He asked eagerly, "Sister, will you be my girlfriend?"

Lin Xiyin's eyes reddened: "Li Xingzhi! Let go of me! You're hurting me!"

"Let her go!"

A deep voice suddenly rang out between the two.

Then, Li Xingzhi's arm was grabbed by a large, iron-like hand, causing Li Xingzhi to cry out in pain and let go.

Lin Xiyin looked up in shock, staring in disbelief at the man who had suddenly appeared before her.

What is Pei Muye doing here?
