Chapter 66 You mistress!

Lin Xiyin didn't want to appear too intimate with him, so she leaned to the side before saying, "I'll explain later."

Chi Tianlin smiled and said, "Then I don't mind."

After a lively meal, Chi Tianlin called a car to take them back to school.

Finally, I went to see Lin Xiyin off alone.

Lin Xiyin also had something to say to him: "Thank you for today. To be honest, this is the first time I've ever eaten at such an expensive buffet."

Chi Tianlin looked at her in disbelief: "You really haven't eaten it?"

Lin Xiyin smiled and changed the subject: "You're going back to the firm, aren't you?"

"I'm not going back," Chi Tianlin said. "I'll take you back, then I'll go straight to the company."

"I thought President Chi didn't have to go to work."

Chi Tianlin sighed: "Now you're finally not using that sarcastic tone with me anymore."

Lin Xiyin was taken aback.

She then realized that her interactions with Chi Tianlin seemed to be quickly moving into the realm of ordinary friends.

"Is this what you wanted?" Lin Xiyin thought for a moment, "It doesn't seem that difficult."

"So, about our bet..."

"I concede." Lin Xiyin extended her hand: "Then let's get to know each other again, friend."

Chi Tianlin looked at her for a few seconds before reaching out and gently grasping a few of her fingers, then letting go immediately: "Hello, friend."

The two looked at each other, then burst out laughing.

Chi Tianlin's phone rang. He glanced at it and then turned it off.

Lin Xiyin asked in surprise, "It rang several times while we were eating, why didn't you answer it?"

Chi Tianlin smiled faintly: "Harassing calls."

At the firm, Huo Xianyang was so angry he almost threw his phone away.

He went to a meeting and left his phone in the office. When he came back after finishing his work, he found out that Lin Xiyin had come by and then left with Chi Tianlin.

He started calling and messaging Chi Tianlin, but the kid just wouldn't answer or reply.

When he came back, Huo Xianyang immediately asked, "What are you up to? What's Lin Xiyin doing here?"

Chi Tianlin was in a good mood and laughed, "What kind of tricks could I be up to? I just used your phone to send her a message and asked her to meet me."

"You!" Huo Xianyang was furious. "Is this fun?"

"Don't be angry. Since you're so upset that you didn't even call Lin Xiyin, I'll treat you to dinner."

Huo Xianyang must have guessed something, otherwise he would have called Lin Xiyin and found out immediately.

However, he still considered Chi Tianlin's feelings, so he only contacted Chi Tianlin.

"You know I didn't expose you, so you'd better behave yourself in the future!"

"Don't worry, it won't happen again," Chi Tianlin said. "We're on good terms now."

Although he didn't know what had happened, Huo Xianyang knew Chi Tianlin's personality all too well.

He said, "Tianlin, I'm telling you again, don't mess with Lin Xiyin, she..."

Chi Tianlin interrupted him, "Okay, okay, I know. I'll hang up now."

Huo Xianyang looked at the phone that had been hung up and sighed helplessly.

Then his phone rang. He looked down and saw that Chi Tianlin had sent him a red envelope.

When I opened it, it was 188.88 yuan.

Okay, that's quite generous.

Huo Xianyang smiled helplessly and put his phone down.

When Lin Xiyin returned to the dormitory, Wu Xinyue excitedly circled around her.

"Sister, how are you so amazing!"

"Sister, you will be my role model from now on!"

"Sister, can't you see Huo Yunying is about to explode with anger?"

"Those guys who were hanging around her before have finally seen through her true colors!"

"And also, sis, that Chi guy is so handsome! Did he really not pursue you? But the way he looks at you is different!"

Wu Xinyue chattered on and on.

Lin Xiyin smiled and said, "I'm married."

It was like pressing the pause button, or like someone grabbing your neck.

Wu Xinyue was speechless for a moment.

After a long pause, she asked incredulously, "You, you're married?"

Lin Xiyin felt that she would then devote all her energy to her studies.

The fact that she's married might save her a lot of trouble.

And she couldn't hide her pregnancy any longer.

She nodded: "Yes, I'm married."

Wu Xinyue blinked, and it took her a while to accept this reality: "So what kind of person is my brother-in-law? What does he do? You got married so early, your brother-in-law must be very outstanding, right?"

Lin Xiyin replied, "It's pretty good, but I'm usually too busy."

"If you live on campus, won't you two be separated?"

Lin Xiyin added, "He was already out of town."

"A long-distance relationship?" Wu Xinyue immediately felt sorry for her: "That must be so tough."

"I'm used to it."

Lin Xiyin told this lie and felt it was harmless.

In the afternoon, Ji Mingtang finally learned about the thesis defense.

He vented his anger in the group chat and made Huo Yunying write a self-criticism.

Then Lin Xiyin's phone rang.

"teacher."

Ji Mingtang sighed: "Why didn't you tell me about this?"

"It's nothing," Lin Xiyin said. "As long as the project isn't affected."

"I'm sorry you had to suffer this injustice." Ji Mingtang said, "I always thought Huo Yunying wasn't very good at her major, but she was a decent girl. I never expected... I made her apologize to you."

“Really, it’s not necessary,” Lin Xiyin said. “I heard the project was invested in by her family…”

Ji Mingtang laughed and said, "You don't need to worry about that. There are plenty of people who want to invest in my project, so I don't need her."

Lin Xiyin never expected that her teacher was so wealthy and powerful.

She laughed too: "So, does that mean I can walk sideways from now on?"

“If you had come a few years earlier, you could have walked around with your head held high,” Ji Mingtang said. “This situation, where someone else snatched my thesis defense, wouldn’t have happened today.”

Lin Xiyin sincerely thanked her, saying, "Thank you, teacher."

"Your teacher's wife knows too. She's coming over for dinner tonight?"

Lin Xiyin's mouth immediately watered: "Great!"

It was already past nine o'clock when I came out of Ji Mingtang's house.

Lin Xiyin returned to her dormitory, washed up, organized the day's materials, and then prepared to go to bed.

Lying in bed, she sent Pei Muye a message: All is well.

As soon as she sent the message, she saw the words "typing is in progress" appear at the top of her phone screen.

As far as I can remember, Pei Muyi wasn't the type of person who always kept his phone close at hand.

Today might just be a coincidence.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have replied so quickly.

But Lin Xiyin waited for a while, and there was still no reply.

Only the words "The other party is typing" appear repeatedly.

Lin Xiyin lost her patience, turned off her phone, and went to sleep.

Lin Xiyin, who was woken up by her alarm clock in the morning, sat up and yawned.

Since becoming pregnant, she has almost never woken up on her own; if it weren't for the alarm clock, she could sleep until late morning every time.

Wu Xinyue is a hardworking little bee. Every morning she goes for a run and also buys breakfast for Lin Xiyin.

Because it was winter break, the school cafeteria was not open, but many shops around the school were open for business.

Wu Xinyue bought breakfast, and Lin Xiyin offered her money, but she refused.

Having no other choice, Lin Xiyin could only buy her milk tea or desserts in the afternoon.

I need to go to the office today; there's some follow-up work to do.

When I arrived at the office, I found that Li Xingzhi was already there and was writing a problem on the blackboard.

Lin Xiyin glanced at it and then stopped.

Wu Xinyue also looked over, her face blank; "What is this...?"

"A world-class problem," Lin Xiyin said. "Li Xingzhi, your approach..."

Li Xingzhi said, "I was just trying. But every time, it didn't work out in the end."

Lin Xiyin said, "I also tried this approach to solving the problem, but it didn't work in the end."

Li Xingzhi turned to look at her: "Then you're free this afternoon, shall we discuss it together... Sister?"

Lin Xiyin was startled when she suddenly heard this word from Li Xingzhi's mouth.

The others called her "sister," but she didn't react much.

She truly treated these students like her younger brothers and sisters.

But Li Xingzhi was clearly different.

He's a loner, an outsider, and looks like someone you shouldn't mess with.

No matter how you look at it, he's not the kind of guy who obediently calls someone "sister."

Seeing Lin Xiyin's expression, Li Xingzhi tilted his head and asked with a hint of doubt, "Can't I call you that? I see everyone calls you that."

"Sure," Lin Xiyin said hastily, clutching her chest, almost unable to withstand the onslaught of his handsome looks: "Of course you can call me that."

With such a handsome and refined face, like a male protagonist from a manga, tilting his head in a cute way right in front of her, Lin Xiyin really couldn't resist.

Not to mention her, Wu Xinyue next to her was also dumbfounded.

She knew Li Xingzhi's personality all too well.

Although she is good-looking, her personality is like that of a fierce and arrogant lone wolf, ready to bite anyone she doesn't like.

Why are you being so well-behaved today?

Ahhhhh, the contrast is so adorable!

Li Xingzhi quickly turned on his computer and started discussing with Lin Xiyin.

When Huo Yunying arrived, no one looked up at her at first.

She called out to Li Xingzhi, "Li Xingzhi."

Upon hearing her voice, everyone looked up.

Lin Xiyin thought that after what happened yesterday, Huo Yunying would not come again.

Clearly, everyone thought the same thing; their eyes betrayed their thoughts.

Huo Yunying remained calm and said, "My family is planning to invest in another project. Li Xingzhi, why don't you come with me? As for this project, whoever has the ability can go and secure sponsorships and investments."

The others panicked when they heard that.

Unlike Lin Xiyin, they had already been reassured by Ji Mingtang.

If the Huo family doesn't invest in this project, they might really be unable to find any investors.

Wu Xinyue frowned and asked her, "Huo Yunying, does Teacher Ji know about what you've done?"

"Teacher Ji? He doesn't even give me face, why should I care about him?"

Lin Xiyin tugged at Wu Xinyue.

Wu Xinyue sat down angrily.

Huo Yunying ignored those people and only looked at Li Xingzhi: "Li Xingzhi, are you coming with me?"

Li Xingzhi looked down at the computer screen without raising his head.

Huo Yunying couldn't help but raise her voice again: "Li Xingzhi, I'm talking to you!"

Li Xingzhi remained unmoved.

Lin Xiyin couldn't stand it any longer and quietly said, "Whether you want to go with her or not, at least give me an answer."

Li Xingzhi tilted his head to look at her: "So what about you? Do you want me to go with her, sister?"

He spoke the last two words very softly, and they even sounded like he was smiling.

It's like she's being coquettish.

Lin Xiyin felt a little embarrassed for some reason, and she quickly said, "You can decide this yourself."

Huo Yunying stared at the two people in disbelief and shouted angrily, "Lin Xiyin! You homewrecker!"

Wu Xinyue immediately flew into a rage: "Huo Yunying! What nonsense are you spouting!"

"I'm talking nonsense? Everyone knows I like Li Xingzhi! But look what she's doing!"

Wu Xinyue said, "It's your business if you like Li Xingzhi. Li Xingzhi has never admitted to liking you. He has the freedom to make friends!"

"Knowing that I like Li Xingzhi, she still tries to get close to him. This kind of woman is scheming and shameless, and you all protect her!" Huo Yunying was furious: "Li Xingzhi, give me an explanation!"

"What am I supposed to explain to you?" Li Xingzhi slammed his pen on the table. "Who are you to me?"
