"Yes, I'm the worst off." Bai Zilin nodded.
“You’re different from them,” Ye Xingchen said.
"Was what I gave you today helpful to you?" Bai Zilin looked up at Ye Xingchen.
"Yes, and they're quite big." Ye Xingchen paused and said, "Thank you."
"No need to thank me. I'm happy if I can help you." Bai Zilin lowered her head, now showing more shyness and gentleness than before when she was energetic and impulsive.
Ye Xingchen was both amused and exasperated. He was quite unaccustomed to Bai Zilin like this, and he didn't know what to say to her. He just kept his eyes on the road ahead and sped up.
Bai Zilin sat in the passenger seat, her eyes never leaving Ye Xingchen's face out of the corner of her eye.
Sitting next to Ye Xingchen, Hao felt a sense of peace and tranquility, with a hint of secret joy.
Having never been in a relationship before, she was unaware that she had already fallen for him.
In a very large private room at the Emperor Business Club, several of Bai Zilin's classmates had already arrived.
Quite a few people brought their families; there were seven or eight classmates present, plus their families, making a total of more than ten.
The person who hosted the banquet was Jin Donghang. He was dressed in a custom-made suit and wore a Vacheron Constantin watch. He exuded the air of a successful person in every gesture.
And this guy is indeed very capable. After graduating from university, he was daring and hardworking, and with his family having some resources, his company took off immediately.
It is said that their business has now expanded internationally, and they have a very good reputation in the industry.
No matter what class reunion it is, this kind of person is always the most sought-after.
People kept coming over to toast him from time to time in the private room, and Jin Donghang, beaming with pride, accepted every toast.
"Haha, Mr. Jin, now I should call you Mr. Jin. In the future, we old classmates will have to rely on your guidance." A man with his fiancée stepped forward to offer a toast. His name was Li Wei, and he was a very shrewd and charming person.
"Stop belittling me, we're all classmates, stop calling me 'boss' all the time. Come on, Li Wei, bottoms up!" Jin Donghang laughed and clinked glasses with the person who came.
“I could tell when we were still students that our CEO Jin had the makings of an emperor. Look at him, he's only been out of school for a few years, and his status, position, and connections are already many times stronger than ours.” Li Wei flattered him, which drew the agreement of the crowd.
"Yes, Mr. Jin has always been different from ordinary people."
"If we want to reach Mr. Jin's level, we will need at least twenty more years of effort."
A group of people flattered him and offered him another round of toasts. Jin Donghang accepted all the toasts and drank until his face was flushed.
"Sorry I'm late." Just then, Bai Zilin and Ye Xingchen walked in together. She apologized repeatedly, "I'll punish myself with a drink."
"Hey, our beautiful lady is here! Quick, get her some cups." Li Wei's eyes lit up, and he immediately perked up: "One cup won't do, at least three cups."
"Okay, three cups." Bai Zilin rarely saw her old classmate, so she took the cup and drank one cup.
"Hey, Zilin, have your second drink with President Jin." Li Wei laughed heartily, "President Jin is treating today, you have to offer him a toast."
"Zilin, it's been a long time." Jin Donghang happily raised his glass.
"Okay." Bai Zilin smiled and clinked glasses with Jin Donghang.
"Zilin, you're getting more and more beautiful. I heard you're still single." After a couple of drinks, Li Wei started picking a fight: "Perfect timing, our CEO Jin is also single. If you two get together, you might just create some sparks, haha."
"Yes, Mr. Jin is young and promising, and Zilin is beautiful. They are a match made in heaven."
"Yes, hurry up, we're eager to attend the wedding banquet."
The group of people then realized what was happening and rushed forward to cheer.
It's an open secret that Jin Donghang pursued Bai Zilin, but Bai Zilin rejected him back then.
The reason why Jin Donghang is single now is largely because of Bai Zilin.
"Quickly, drink a toast together, and the matter will be settled. Get married and have kids soon, and good things will happen one after another," Li Wei egged on.
"Stop joking around. Mr. Jin is a big boss now. What kind of girl can't he find? I'm not good enough for you." Bai Zilin smiled and put down her cup.
"No, Zilin, Mr. Jin is single now, and he's deeply in love with you." Li Wei poured a drink: "Come on, let's have a toast together, and finish the third cup at the same time."
"I'll drink this glass of wine for Zilin." Ye Xingchen noticed Bai Zilin's embarrassment and knew why she had called him here today.
At this point, he had no choice but to step forward and stand up for her. He took Li Wei's wine glass, gestured from afar, and drank it down in one gulp.
"Ah, you..." Bai Zilin's face immediately turned red; that wine glass was one she had used.
"Who are you?" Li Wei was slightly taken aback. Looking at Ye Xingchen, he realized that she wasn't a classmate. Could she be a family member brought by that female classmate?
But whose family members are so tactless?
"Let me introduce you, this is Ye Xingchen, she came with me." Bai Zilin quickly said, "It's been a long time since we've seen each other, let's have a good chat, but please don't drink too much, I have to go on duty later."
Upon hearing that she had come with Bai Zilin, everyone immediately understood, and the atmosphere instantly became awkward.
Some people's eyes had already turned to Kim Dong-hang, and sure enough, upon hearing this, Kim Dong-hang's expression immediately darkened slightly.
"Zilin, what's your relationship with this person?" Li Wei said sarcastically, "It's a class reunion today, and we didn't invite anyone else."
"Aren't we allowed to bring our families?" Ye Xingchen replied.
"Family members?" Jin Donghang's face darkened further.
“Yes, family members.” Bai Zilin walked up to Ye Xingchen and took his hand.
The play has already gone this far, so there's no point in pressing for answers anymore.
"Zilin, I heard you've always been single." Jin Donghang regained his composure. "How come you suddenly have a boyfriend?"
"I'm usually busy with work, and as you know, things within the system can't be done in a big way, so I haven't told everyone yet," Bai Zilin said with a smile. "But don't worry, everyone will definitely be invited to the wedding banquet."
"Alright, since you're here, we're all friends." Having said all that, Jin Donghang couldn't say anything more; deliberately picking a fight now would make him seem petty.
The group sat down, some chatting and some drinking.
"Zilin, I heard you're a police officer now?" Jin Donghang moved closer to Bai Zilin and asked with concern.
"Yes, I became a police officer." Bai Zilin nodded with a smile.
“How can a girl do this? And you’re on the front lines, it’s so dangerous.” Li Wei chimed in, “You should quit being a policeman and come find Boss Jin. I guarantee you’ll earn more than when you were a policeman.”
