Chapter 85 In short, you are responsible.

Actually, Lin Xiyin wanted to separate from Chi Tianlin as soon as she entered the school.

She asked, "Where is your car? I won't go over there, goodbye."

"I'm not in a hurry to leave. I'll take you to your classroom first."

"No need..." Lin Xiyin didn't finish her sentence. When she met Chi Tianlin's gaze, she knew that nothing she said would make a difference.

Once this man has made a decision, he won't change it.

Lin Xiyin fell silent, and the two walked forward in silence.

After walking a few steps, Chi Tianlin asked, "How far have we gotten with the divorce?"

Lin Xiyin could only say, "It will be soon."

“If you encounter any difficulties, just tell me,” Chi Tianlin said. “After all, we are friends.”

"I know," Lin Xiyin said, not daring to contradict him at all. "Thank you."

If she had a choice, Lin Xiyin would never want to be friends with him.

It had nothing to do with Pei Muye; Lin Xiyin simply didn't want to have any dealings with people in high positions of power.

Just like her and Qu Jingyou, even if she had no selfish motives, the people around her would still think that she had ulterior motives and wanted to curry favor with the Qu family.

Lin Xiyin just wanted a simple living space, away from those powerful and wealthy people.

This includes Chi Tianlin.

Putting everything else aside, Chi Tianlin himself is a source of all sorts of trouble.

He's used to doing whatever he wants and never considers other people's thoughts or feelings.

Lin Xiyin didn't want to walk with him on campus like this; if others saw them, it might cause another misunderstanding.

But if she refused, it was obvious that Chi Tianlin would have all sorts of reasons waiting for her.

Fortunately, there were very few people on campus at this time, so the problem Lin Xiyin was worried about was unlikely to occur.

That's why she allowed Chi Tianlin to walk alongside her.

"No need to be so polite with me," Chi Tianlin said. "You dare to joke about me behind my back, how come you're so distant to my face?"

He brought it up again, and Lin Xiyin could only explain once more: "I didn't mean to say that about you, it just happened in the flow of the conversation, and I said it offhand."

I regret it now, I regret it so much.

A joke was used as leverage against someone.

Chi Tianlin said, "I don't blame you anymore, but my heart is still wounded. In any case, you have to take responsibility."

Lin Xiyin was at her wits' end; how was she supposed to take responsibility for this?

Besides, isn't Chi Tianlin supposed to be a wealthy and powerful man? Why does he seem to be doing nothing all day?

"If there's anything I can help you with, just let me know. Although, I don't think I'm capable of doing anything to help."

"Okay, I definitely won't be polite then," Chi Tianlin said with a smile. "Just don't refuse."

"Anything within my capabilities, I'll do." After saying that, Lin Xiyin couldn't help but ask him, "Are you... always this free?"

Chi Tianlin was a very perceptive and shrewd person, and he immediately understood the underlying meaning of her words.

"What, you think I'm bored because I have nothing better to do?" Chi Tianlin chuckled softly. "You think I'm boring?"

"No, that's not what I meant..." Lin Xiyin didn't know what else to say: "I just felt that a big CEO like you must be extremely busy."

"It's not that bad," Chi Tianlin said. "Time can always be found if you squeeze it in; it just depends on how you manage it."

Lin Xiyin hummed in agreement.

Chi Tianlin asked her, "Is Pei Muyi very busy every day?"

Lin Xiyin thought for a moment, then hummed in agreement.

In the years since she and Pei Muye got married, Pei Muye has been leaving early and returning late every day. Once, when he was away on a business trip, the two did not see each other for nearly a month.

So now, seeing Chi Tianlin's idle appearance all day, she thinks, "They're both CEOs, how come there's such a big difference?"

"Let me tell you, Pei Muyi is always busy with nothing, he doesn't actually have that much to do. Maybe he's secretly keeping a mistress on the side..."

As he spoke, he went to look at Lin Xiyin. Seeing her smiling, he couldn't help but ask, "What are you laughing at?"

Lin Xiyin said, "What he raises is none of my business, since we're getting a divorce anyway."

“That’s true,” Chi Tianlin said. “It would make it seem like I was talking badly about him behind his back.”

Before Lin Xiyin could say anything, Chi Tianlin added, "I'll say the same thing to his face!"

Lin Xiyin did not speak.

Chi Tianlin tilted his head and looked down at her: "How could you have been so blind as to marry him back then?"

This kind of question is still best left unanswered.

How could Lin Xiyin possibly say such things to Chi Tianlin?

Seeing that she didn't speak, Chi Tianlin scoffed, "Fortunately, she's not completely blind; she still knows to get a divorce."

For the rest of the journey, Chi Tianlin did most of the talking, while Lin Xiyin listened.

Lin Xiyin was a little lost in thought, thinking about the tasks her teacher had assigned her, how long it would take to finish her part-time job, and when she could pay Pei Muyi back...

"careful!"

With a gasp, she was pulled into someone's arms.

Chi Tianlin hugged her waist, and the two were very close for a moment.

Lin Xiyin hurriedly pushed him away.

Chi Tianlin immediately let go of his hand: "Watch where you're going! I won't be responsible if you fall!"

Lin Xiyin had just stepped into a small pit, and if Chi Tianlin hadn't caught her, she might have really fallen.

She certainly wasn't afraid before, but now that she's pregnant, a fall would be too dangerous.

She quickly said, "Thank you!"

Just as she looked up, she saw Pei Muye.

Pei Muye stood not far in front of the two of them, watching for an unknown amount of time.

Chi Tianlin also saw it and sneered, "Oh, your ex-husband is here."

The word "ex-husband" sounded harsh and unpleasant, making Pei Muyi's already taut jawline even more pronounced.

"Lin Xiyin," he said, "I need to talk to you."

Lin Xiyin never expected Pei Muye to come to the school.

Actually, Pei Muyi had been here for a while.

During the winter break, there were hardly any people on campus, and he parked his car hoping to ask someone for directions, but he couldn't find anyone.

After walking for a while, I turned a corner and saw Lin Xiyin.

She and Chi Tianlin walked side by side.

Both of them were wearing down jackets, one black and one white, like they were wearing matching outfits.

Chi Tianlin's face was strikingly handsome, and Lin Xiyin was equally stunning. The two of them walking side by side on campus had a beautiful, idol-drama-like quality.

Pei Muye's voice was icy cold; he had suppressed all his emotions.

"You think you can just say you have something to do?" Chi Tianlin said. "Ruanruan doesn't have time."

Pei Muyi, unable to contain himself any longer, said, "Chi Tianlin, Lin Xiyin and I are still husband and wife. What we do is none of your business."

"You're about to get a divorce, yet you still have the nerve to keep talking about being a couple." Chi Tianlin wasn't going to tolerate his behavior: "Pei Muye, there's no one else here, just say what you want to say."

Pei Muye didn't want to pay any attention to Chi Tianlin at all, and didn't want to say a single word to him.

He only looked at Lin Xiyin: "Is it convenient for us to talk alone?"

To Lin Xiyin, these two men were like a wolf and a tiger, neither of them easy to deal with.

If she had a choice, she wouldn't want to talk to anyone.

She went to see Chi Tianlin first: "Mr. Chi, I won't see you off. Goodbye."

After saying that, she looked at Pei Muye again: "I have something to do this afternoon, so you can say what you have to say here."

Chi Tianlin smiled and said, "Ruan Ruan, I'll be going now. I'll buy fireworks to celebrate the day you get divorced."

Lin Xiyin waved to him helplessly: "Drive slowly."

After Chi Tianlin left, she looked at Pei Muyi and asked, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

"You're with him every day?"

Pei Muye's tone was unpleasant.

Lin Xiyin said, "Don't worry, I'm not divorced yet. I know my place and won't give anyone the chance to slander the Pei family. Chi Tianlin and I are just ordinary friends..."

"You're friends with him?" Pei Muye looked at her coldly. "Have you been ignoring everything I said?"

“President Pei,” Lin Xiyin looked at him calmly, “I don’t think I need you to tell me what to do. I’m an adult, I know what I’m doing. So, what do you want?”

Pei Muye remained silent for a few seconds, not saying a word, just staring at her.

Lin Xiyin frowned: "If you're not going to tell me, I'm leaving. I'm very busy."

"What have you been busy with?" Pei Muyi finally spoke; "Also, how have you been these past few days...? Have you been feeling unwell?"

"Everything is fine."

"Eat your meal. Even if you're busy, you should eat well and make sure you get enough nutrition. You're not alone anymore."

"I know." Lin Xiyin looked at him. "What exactly do you want?"

"I...I just came to see you."

Although it was somewhat unexpected, after thinking about it, she realized that Pei Muye was probably concerned about the baby in her belly.

After all, he is his child, a descendant of the Pei family.

Lin Xiyin said, "Don't worry, I'll take good care of myself. If you don't have anything else, I'll be going now."

"Lin Xiyin!" Pei Muye called out to her, "You were walking with Chi Tianlin on campus, and I hadn't even finished speaking before you told me to leave?"

"Didn't you say you were coming to see me? Now that you've seen me and I'm fine, shouldn't you be leaving?"

“I want to...see where you study,” Pei Muye said. “You’re not alone now; the child in your belly is mine too.”

Lin Xiyin thought for a moment and then said, "Then come with me."

She thought that taking this opportunity to let Pei Muye appear in front of his classmates was a good idea.

Letting everyone know she's married will save her a lot of trouble.

Pei Muye was initially following behind her, but after a few steps, he walked alongside her.

A branch of a tree by the roadside stretched out, and Pei Muye put his arm around her shoulder: "Be careful."

He didn't let go after that, and just kept holding her like that.

Lin Xiyin was thinking about meeting her classmates later, so she didn't stop him from getting close to her.

This makes it more credible.

When they arrived at the classroom, Ji Mingtang had already left, and only the students were discussing the matter.

Lin Xiyin stood at the door.

Li Xingzhi had been uninterested, but when he looked up and saw Lin Xiyin, he immediately walked over and said, "Sister, you're back!"

Only then did they realize that Lin Xiyin was with a different man.

He wasn't the exquisitely handsome man from before, but compared to that one, this one was in no way inferior.

Not only is he handsome, but he also possesses a noble and proud demeanor.

He's obviously not an ordinary person.

"Sister, what is this...?"

The commotion at the door attracted everyone's attention, and all eyes turned towards it.

Lin Xiyin then introduced him: "Let me introduce you all, this is my husband."

As soon as Lin Xiyin finished speaking, Pei Muye said, "Hello, I am Lin Xiyin's husband, Pei Muye. It's a pleasure to meet you all. I'd like to invite you to dinner tonight."
