Chen Ling clenched her fists.
She actually chased Brother Lin Xuan all the way into the chip project.
If only she had known... she would have also applied for a chip-related major after the college entrance exam. That way, she could have had the chance to join the project team and have more opportunities to spend time with Brother Lin Xuan.
"Miss Jiang." Chen Ling smiled, "Let me introduce myself too. I'm Chen Ling, the daughter of the director of the orphanage where Brother Lin Xuan used to live. Brother Lin Xuan and I grew up together as childhood friends."
Her words carried a hint of provocation.
She and Brother Lin Xuan had known each other since they were very, very young. They shared the bond of growing up together, a childhood friendship that Su Hua and Jiang Yutong couldn't compare to.
"So you're the daughter of the orphanage director. Hello, I'm very grateful to you all for taking Lin Xuan in and caring for him before." After learning Chen Ling's identity, Jiang Yutong's impression of her was quite good.
The conditions at the orphanage weren't great, but they were good to Xiao Xuan. If it weren't for them, Xiao Xuan's values might not be so upright.
It's just a pity that the orphanage didn't continue operating after the director passed away.
Otherwise, she would definitely have donated a large sum of money to that orphanage.
Chen Ling's expression darkened.
This Jiang Yutong was actually thanking her on behalf of Brother Lin Xuan.
What right did she have?
Did she really think of herself as Brother Lin Xuan's future wife!
"Classmate Jiang, talking like that, people who don't know might think you're Brother Lin Xuan's girlfriend," Chen Ling said, as if joking.
Jiang Yutong smiled, "Classmate Chen, you really know how to joke. No matter who I end up with, it's impossible for it to be with Classmate Lin Xuan."
She had always only seen Xiao Xuan as her younger brother. She never had those kinds of feelings for him before, and after finding out Xiao Xuan was her cousin, it became even more impossible.
Chen Ling sneered inwardly.
No intention of being with Brother Lin Xuan? Who would believe that?
If she didn't want to be with him, why chase him all the way to the chip project?
She must be saying this to avoid arousing Brother Lin Xuan's dislike and wariness, just staying by his side as a friend, letting things develop slowly over time, gradually making Brother Lin Xuan fall for her, and only then would she reveal her feelings for Brother Lin Xuan.
She must find an opportunity to expose this woman's true colors in front of Brother Lin Xuan!
"I hope what you say is true," Chen Ling said.
Jiang Yutong raised an eyebrow and said, "You like Classmate Lin Xuan, don't you?"
Chen Ling's eyes couldn't lie.
Chen Ling avoided her gaze and denied it, "I do not."
Jiang Yutong spoke up, "Classmate Chen, whether you like Lin Xuan or not, I remember Lin Xuan already has a girlfriend. I hope you can let go of your feelings for him."
She remembered that Xiao Xuan and his girlfriend had a very good relationship and were likely to end up together.
She could see that Xiao Xuan seemed quite happy when he was with his girlfriend, and she hoped they could make it to the end.
However, every time she saw the two of them being affectionate, she always felt a bit uncomfortable, a feeling that her younger brother had just returned and was immediately taken away.
Chen Ling said coldly, "My affairs are none of your concern."
She knew what Jiang Yutong was thinking.
Jiang Yutong wanted to use the fact that Brother Lin Xuan had a girlfriend to discourage her, so she herself would have one less rival.
Jiang Yutong really thought of her as a simple, naive little girl.
No matter what anyone says, she would never give up on Brother Lin Xuan in this lifetime.
Jiang Yutong frowned.
Why did she feel like this Chen Ling harbored some inexplicable hostility towards her?
Jiang Yutong thought Chen Ling just didn't like her giving that kind of advice and didn't think too much of it.
Lin Xuan also faintly caught a whiff of gunpowder in the air.
He had a headache.
Where there are many women, there is a battlefield.
Thankfully Jiang Yutong was his blood-related cousin, otherwise, if Hua Bao found out a woman was clinging to him like this, his kidneys would definitely suffer.
Lin Xuan quickly finished shoveling the food in his bowl and stood up.
"I'm full. Please, make yourselves at home."
"Brother Lin Xuan, why did you eat so fast?" Chen Ling said with a frown.
"I have matters to attend to," Lin Xuan said. "I won't keep you company."
Jiang Yutong knew that at this time, Lin Xuan needed to rest. She couldn't very well follow him, so she nodded and said, "Classmate Lin Xuan, see you this afternoon."
Lin Xuan said, "I need to go to the company this afternoon, so I won't be coming to the lab."
His original plan was to come to the lab.
But with Jiang Yutong there, he changed his plans.
He got a headache just seeing Jiang Yutong now and didn't want to see her.
"Mhm, okay," Jiang Yutong nodded.
Going to the company was fine too.
As long as he wasn't staying at home, anything was fine.
Lin Xuan's temples throbbed. For some reason, he had a very bad premonition in his heart.
Lin Xuan returned to his apartment. Last night and this morning, a certain young woman had clung to him for too long, so he hadn't slept much. Combined with expending a lot of energy, he was extremely, extremely tired. The moment he touched the bed, he fell asleep.
What he didn't know was that posts about him and Jiang Yutong were flying all over the forum.
【Extra! Extra! Another girl who likes Lin Xuan has appeared, and this girl is exceptionally outstanding!】
Replies under the post:
—Damn! Even though I'm a fan of CEO Su and Classmate Lin Xuan's CP, and I can't stand other women who like Classmate Lin Xuan, I have to admit, this Jiang Yutong is quite outstanding. Her looks are good too. She's the woman most suitable for Lin Xuan, second only to CEO Su.
—Chasing him all the way into the chip project research team for Classmate Lin Xuan, that's true love.
—Lin Xuan really has charm. But to be honest, he has the looks, the physique, and super strong abilities. If I were a woman, I might fall for him too.
Lin Xuan had attracted the attention of almost all the female students at the school. Even girls who didn't have a crush on him saw him as an idol.
For a guy liked by countless women, it was hard for other guys not to be jealous. But for someone as incredibly talented and flawless in every aspect as Lin Xuan, they couldn't muster even a bit of jealousy. They only felt admiration and envy for Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan had a comfortable nap and then went to the company.
He arrived at his office.
Lei Hui, upon hearing the news that Lin Xuan had come to the company, quickly rushed back from outside.
He placed a financial data report on Lin Xuan's desk.
He reported respectfully, "Boss, this is the financial data for the 'Battle Royale' game and the 'King's Glory' game. Please take a look."
"Mhm."
Lin Xuan began to look through it.
Lei Hui said with a beaming face, "Boss, the 'Battle Royale' game attracted a large number of users immediately upon launch. The retention rate is high, and in-game purchases are doing very well. Right now, the hottest games on the market, besides 'King's Glory', are the 'Battle Royale' games."
