Jiang Xin sat down in front of Yan Ling and greeted him.
Yan Ling still had the same expression, his face full of impatience: "Why are you so late?"
Jiang Xin was taken aback by what he said, and then checked the time.
Yanling and she agreed to meet at 6 o'clock. It's 5:55 now. I'm not late, am I?
"What do you want?" Jiang Xin didn't answer his question, but instead asked him why he had asked her out.
Seeing that Jiang Xin did not answer, Yan Ling scrutinized her with a critical gaze, his heart filled with doubt.
Seeing his actions, Jiang Xin sat up straight and let him look her over.
After a while, the person on the other end still didn't move, and Jiang Xin was speechless.
She made an appointment with him at this time, but when she arrived, she didn't even know how to order food. Yanling still hasn't improved at all.
Jiang Xin looked at Yan Ling and asked him, "What do you want to eat?"
"Fried chicken," Yanling finally spoke.
Jiang Xin ordered two servings of fried chicken at the bar before sitting down again.
The meeting just now was completely different from what Yanling had imagined. He didn't like this feeling, as if something was out of his control.
Seeing that he was still pretending to be cool in silence, Jiang Xin took out her phone from her bag to check the messages.
Yan Ling noticed that Jiang Xin had changed; she was actually looking at her phone instead of him!
She used to always look at him with adoring eyes. When he was around, Jiang Xin couldn't see anyone else.
Yan Ling coughed, trying to get Jiang Xin's attention.
Jiang Xin: "..."
She herself didn't understand how she had ever fallen for Yanling in the first place.
Looking at it now, it's truly hard to put into words.
He's almost thirty years old, and he always has a long face, looking at everyone as if they owe him money.
She might have fallen for his act when she was a teenager, thinking he was cool and arrogant.
But how old is she? Why does she still act so superior?
Won't this kind of person get beaten up by customers?
Jiang Xin asked herself a soul-searching question.
"I'm planning to buy a house. Would you be willing to be my landlady?"
Yan Ling raised an eyebrow at Jiang Xin and revealed the purpose of his meeting with her today.
Jiang Xin looked at him with a confident expression, as he was saying something nonsensical.
"Buy a house? Whose name will be on the property deed? This person doesn't want me to pay their mortgage, does he? And their relationship hasn't reached the point of discussing marriage yet, has it?"
Jiang Xin pondered to herself.
"Where are you planning to buy a house?" Jiang Xin asked him calmly.
Yan Ling was very unhappy with her attitude. He had made it so obvious, but Jiang Xin didn't seem touched at all.
But thinking of the exorbitant loan, he could only suppress his displeasure and reply, "It's in the Fifth Ring Road, right next to a subway station. It'll be very convenient for you to take the subway every day."
Jiang Xin rolled her eyes inwardly. Was he alright? The Fifth Ring Road? That meant she'd have to commute for almost six hours each way. From now on, she'd have to say goodbye to sleeping in and get up at 5 a.m. every morning to catch the subway.
Moreover, the house is right next to the subway station, and he knows perfectly well that he can't stand the noise.
So what does this house have to do with her?
Jiang Xin considered herself to know Yan Ling fairly well. He was extremely arrogant and couldn't stand opposition; he would see any advice from others as a provocation.
So Jiang Xin didn't say the house was too far away, but instead asked him why he suddenly wanted to buy a house?
Yanling stared at Jiang Xin and said with feigned affection, "I think I should have a home of my own."
His expression immediately changed, and he said to Jiang Xin with a stern face, "I'm giving you a chance. You should know that there are plenty of people who want to be my landlady."
Jiang Xin knew that she had no choice but to make things clear today.
She looked at Yanling and said softly, "I don't plan to get married anytime soon, and the Fifth Ring Road is too far from my company."
As soon as Jiang Xin finished speaking, Yan Ling glared at her fiercely, biting his cheek and saying each word clearly, "No wonder you're a young lady, looking down on houses in the Fifth Ring Road! Jiang Xin, how can you be so vain!"
Jiang Xin was speechless. She was just telling the truth. How could he think that the Fifth Ring Road was too far away and that she was being vain?
Besides, I don't owe him anything, so why is he acting like he wants to eat me alive?
Jiang Xin's heart sank. Ever since she had those dreams, she had lost that crazy infatuation with Yan Ling, but she still couldn't bear to part with him. After all, he was her first love and the beautiful memory of her youth.
But this man never respected her, nor did he ever think about her. He only thought about himself. What did he take her for? A cheap nanny who could be summoned and dismissed at will?
She admits that she was love-struck when she was a teenager, but she's not brainless.
