Chapter 26 I Slept with Xixi
Wasn't she feeling unwell? Didn't she not have a boyfriend? Who is this man? What is their relationship?
A series of question marks flashed through Song Xu's mind.
The fact that they agreed to meet here shows that this man isn't poor.
Song Xu strode into the restaurant. When he saw an acquaintance, he felt he should go over and say hello.
Assistant Zhang Qing followed closely behind Song Xu, her legs moving rapidly. "Wait, is Mr. Song too hungry today? Why is he walking so fast?"
Song Xu was a regular at this restaurant. The owner and the waiters all knew him. He had a private room that he always had. The waiter came over with a smile to greet him, "Mr. Song, you've arrived. This way, please."
"I'm not going upstairs today, I'll just grab a bite downstairs." Song Xu walked straight inside, bypassing the waiter.
Lin Xi and Jiang Ran were already seated facing each other. Jiang Ran ordered the food directly. She knew Lin Xi's tastes very well; he liked both sweet and spicy food.
"Xixi, these are some snacks I bought for you. They'll last you a while," Jiang Ran handed the biggest bag to Lin Xi. "I can't go out freely after school starts, so I bought you a lot."
Lin Xi took the bag and glanced inside. There were more than ten kinds of food, all of which were her favorites. This would be enough for her to eat for a month.
"Ranran, you bought too much. These must be very expensive." Lin Xi was in a dilemma, not knowing whether to accept them or not.
"How much money can you spend on snacks?" Jiang Ran smiled. "You've tutored me for over a year, do you know how much you've saved my family on tutoring fees?"
“My mom wanted to thank you in person, but I stopped her. These snacks were specially bought for you by my mom. If you don’t accept them, my mom will deliver them to your door herself.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Xi had no choice but to accept the bag of snacks. "You got into your ideal university because of your own hard work. It has nothing to do with me. Don't say that I tutored you anymore."
“Without you, I wouldn’t have worked so hard,” Jiang Ran said, handing Lin Xi another gift box. “This is a gift I brought back for you from abroad. Take a look when you get back.”
Lin Xi glanced at the brand on the bag. It looked familiar. She seemed to have seen it before when she was researching luxury brands these past few days, but she wasn't quite sure.
"Ranran, was the gift you gave me very expensive?"
Jiang Ran remained calm. "It's not expensive, just a small gift. I think it suits you, so I bought it. Besides, our relationship isn't measured by money. What I'm giving is my heart. I'll be very sad if you don't accept it."
Lin Xi held the gift bag in her hand, feeling as if it weighed a ton. She didn't know when she would be able to repay this favor.
"Lin Xi".
Just as she was feeling incredibly conflicted, a familiar male voice rang in her ears.
The voice made Lin Xi shudder. She looked up and saw a cold, indifferent face.
"President Song?" Lin Xi stood up subconsciously, leaning back and lowering her eyes to avoid looking at Song Xu. "Are you here for lunch?"
Song Xu grunted in response, gave Jiang Ran a cold glance, then looked away and stared directly at Lin Xi. "Why aren't you staying home? What are you doing out here? Is your ankle better?"
Caught red-handed by her employer, Lin Xi felt guilty and said, "President Song, I'm sorry. I forgot to ask for leave before coming out. It won't happen again."
Jiang Ran frowned as she watched. She stood up as well, but she was half a head shorter than Song Xu and her aura was relatively weaker. "Who are you? What gives you the right to talk to Xi Xi like that?"
"And who are you?" Song Xu frowned. Xi Xi? He was very annoyed by the intimate way she called him.
“You don’t care who I am, and I don’t care who you are,” Jiang Ran raised her voice. “Xi Xi is mine, and no one can bully her.”
"Your person? She's not yours at all. What did you get from her?" Song Xu asked with a cold snort.
Lin Xi was stunned. She couldn't understand why Jiang Ran and Song Xu were arguing.
Standing behind Song Xu, Zhang Qing's eyes widened. Why did he hear a hint of jealousy in Young Master Song's tone? And who was this pretty girl?
Judging from what Mr. Song said, this girl seems to be living with him. What's going on? Is Mr. Song starting to keep a mistress?
Zhang Qing secretly sized up Lin Xi. She had fair skin, a pure and innocent look, and a calm expression. She was a pretty girl with a slightly aloof temperament.
His son, Mr. Song, has great taste.
“You…” Jiang Ran’s gaze swept over Song Xu. She crossed her arms and snorted coldly, “I slept with Xi Xi. I not only hugged her body, but I also won her heart.”
Song Xu's expression grew increasingly sour. He turned to Lin Xi and asked, "I remember you said you didn't have a boyfriend."
Lin Xi nodded stiffly, "No, there isn't."
She blinked, her mind racing, and she understood what Song Xu meant. She quickly explained, "Mr. Song, you may have misunderstood. Jiang Ran is my high school classmate. She is a girl."
A woman? Song Xu glanced at Jiang Ran again. No Adam's apple. No wonder her voice sounded a bit high-pitched and effeminate.
So what if she's a woman? She doesn't look like a proper woman.
Song Xu's expression softened a bit. "Go home after breakfast. In the future, you need to let me know in advance if you go out."
"Okay, I understand. I won't do it again." Lin Xi replied calmly. She was indeed in the wrong today. As a live-in nanny, she should stay at her employer's house all day and shouldn't go out casually.
Song Xu sat down behind them, back to back with Lin Xi.
After Jiang Ran sat down, she whispered to Lin Xi, "Xi Xi, who is this man? Why are you listening to him?"
Jiang Ran even recalled the rumor circulating in the classmates' group chat, but she quickly dismissed the idea; Lin Xi wouldn't do such a thing.
Lin Xi tilted her head slightly; Song Xu could hear everything she said.
“He is my employer, and I work as a live-in nanny in his home.” Lin Xi had no intention of hiding anything from Jiang Ran.
"A live-in nanny?" Jiang Ran clenched her fist. She really wanted to help Lin Xi financially, but she had to consider Lin Xi's pride. If she gave her the money directly, Lin Xi wouldn't accept it.
Hearing that Lin Xi had gone to work as a nanny for someone else, Jiang Ran felt very sad. Xi Xi had had such a hard life.
“Xixi, you don’t need to be a nanny anymore,” Jiang Ran said after thinking for a moment. “My relative’s child is looking for a tutor. How about I recommend you?”
“I’ll have them settle with you at the market rate, between five hundred and eight hundred per hour.”
Lin Xi sighed, feeling embarrassed that Jiang Ran's voice was quite loud, asking her directly in front of Song Xu.
"Ranran, as you just said, our relationship cannot be measured in money. If your relative really needs a tutor, I can apply to Mr. Song for time to tutor him for free."
Jiang Ran was deflated; she knew this would be the outcome. "Fine, I won't let you suffer a loss."
She glared coldly at the back of Song Xu's head, her voice still loud, "Xi Xi, your employer doesn't have any dirty thoughts about you, does he? If anyone bullies you, you must tell me, and I will teach him a lesson for you."
