“Qin Ruoyao, who are you to me? Why should I care about your feelings?” Lin Xuan looked at Qin Ruoyao as if she were a fool.
“And your confession was so half-hearted. Just some roses? Where’s the ring? Where’s the homemade cake?” Lin Xuan sneered and didn’t bother to engage with her any further, stepping around her and walking away.
Spotting someone in the distance, Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly. Wasn’t that Ye Li?
He was holding his phone, taking pictures and recording videos, likely planning to report everything to Su Hua.
Today’s drama had certainly satisfied everyone’s appetite for gossip.
“Tsk tsk tsk, I thought Qin Ruoyao was so pure, but now that Lin Xuan is rich, she’s rushing to be the other woman.”
“Lin Xuan is driving a Koenigsegg and a Rolls-Royce now, he’s earned millions from writing novels, and he even started his own novel website. He’s so successful. When he was chasing her, she ignored him, but now that he’s moved on, she’s clinging to him. How could Lin Xuan possibly want her now?”
“Seems like Qin Ruoyao is the kind of woman who’ll go for anyone with money. Brothers, when I make it big, I’ll definitely go after her!”
Qin Ruoyao’s face turned red with humiliation as she listened to the comments.
Tears streaming down her face, she ran off.
Luo Yuan quickly chased after her.
Qin Ruoyao ran to a secluded spot, with Luo Yuan following her, his heart aching.
“Luo Yuan,” Qin Ruoyao sobbed, resting her head on his shoulder. “How could Lin Xuan treat me like that? How could he?”
Luo Yuan patted her back gently. “Ruoyao, don’t cry. If Lin Xuan doesn’t appreciate you, forget about him. There are plenty of people who like you.”
“What does that woman have that I don’t? Why does he have to like her?” Qin Ruoyao’s tears fell continuously, dripping onto Luo Yuan’s shoulder.
She couldn’t accept it.
Su Hua already had such a prestigious status. Why did she have to steal her man?
Luo Yuan’s heart ached, a sharp pain shooting through him.
He had been by Ruoyao’s side for so many years. Why didn’t she like him? Why did she fall for Lin Xuan, that worthless guy?
The more Qin Ruoyao thought about it, the more she felt wronged, and her resentment toward Lin Xuan grew.
If Lin Xuan didn’t want her because of that woman, fine.
She didn’t believe Su Hua truly loved Lin Xuan. She would wait for the day Lin Xuan was abandoned.
She would hold Lin Li’s hand and stand proudly in front of Lin Xuan, looking down on him.
She would become the young mistress of the Lin family, someone Lin Xuan could never reach!
In the office of Su Corporation, Su Hua pretended not to care, but she had been glued to her phone, scrolling through the forums of Qinghua University.
This was the gossip hub of Qinghua University, and Qin Ruoyao’s confession to Lin Xuan was bound to be posted there.
The homepage was flooded with posts about Qin Ruoyao and Lin Xuan.
[OMG! The juiciest gossip of the year is here! Qin Ruoyao set up a heart-shaped rose arrangement and confessed to Lin Xuan! The campus goddess confessed to the campus heartthrob, who used to be her admirer. Do you think he’ll say yes?]
Many students regretted not being on campus, as they could only follow the drama through the forum.
Su Hua kept refreshing the page, biting her lip.
She had said she trusted Lin Xuan, but deep down, she was uneasy. After all, he had once been so infatuated with Qin Ruoyao.
Finally, the posts started appearing: Lin Xuan had rejected Qin Ruoyao, calling her the other woman. He wore a ring on his middle finger and publicly declared he had a girlfriend.
Seeing this, Su Hua’s eyes curved into a smile.
Ah Xuan, you’re so well-behaved.
Jiang Qing noticed her expression. “What are you looking at? You seem so happy.”
Lin Xuan also sent Su Hua a message:
[Hua Bao, Qin Ruoyao confessed to me today, but I rejected her. My heart belongs only to you. How could I ever accept someone else’s confession?]
Su Hua quickly replied, [Good job.]
Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, he had noticed Ye Li taking pictures to report to Su Hua. Otherwise, Su Hua might have locked him up again.
Ye Li would probably make a move against him. All he had to do now was counter whatever came his way.
As for Qin Ruoyao…
Lin Xuan’s expression darkened. He had been too busy making money to deal with her, but it was time to put her in her place. He couldn’t stand her constantly hovering around him.
He planned to expose Qin Ruoyao and Lin Li’s relationship.
There was no love between them—only mutual benefit. Qin Ruoyao was after Lin Li’s money and status, while Lin Li enjoyed stealing everything Lin Xuan cared about: his parents, his sister, his position as the young master of the Lin family, and even the women he liked.
Another reason was that Lin Li used Qin Ruoyao to target him.
If their affair came to light, they would surely turn on each other. It would be a spectacular show.
His next step was to sow discord between them.
After finishing his second class of the afternoon, Lin Xuan headed to a café.
With his novel website up and running, his next venture was an entertainment company. Today, he was meeting with a potential manager for the company.
Lei Hui, dressed in a shabby suit, kept checking his phone.
Five minutes past the scheduled time, his heart grew colder.
Of course, he shouldn’t have gotten his hopes up.
He was infamous in the industry. Who would hire him as a company president?
A bitter smile crossed Lei Hui’s face.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the café. Several young women, no older than their twenties, covered their mouths, visibly excited.
“Ahhh, he’s so handsome!”
“Is he a celebrity? I want to follow him!”
“I’d love to get his WeChat or number, but someone that good-looking probably has high standards. I’ll just embarrass myself if I try.”
Lei Hui looked up and saw a young man in a white shirt and black pants walking in, radiating a sunny aura.
The young man sat down directly across from him.
“Sorry I’m late. My professor held us back, and there was traffic,” Lin Xuan said with a nod.
Lei Hui frowned. “I’m waiting for someone. This seat is taken.”
Lin Xuan extended his hand. “Hello, Mr. Lei. I’m Lin Xuan, the one who arranged this meeting.”
Lei Hui was momentarily stunned but shook Lin Xuan’s hand politely.
Seeing Lin Xuan, his hopes dwindled further.
A student… starting an entertainment company? This had to be a joke.
“Kid, I have things to do. I can’t waste time here,” Lei Hui said, standing up to leave.
His daughter was sick, and he needed to get to his construction job.
“Mr. Lei, do you not believe me because I’m young?” Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow.
Lei Hui didn’t respond.
Clearly, he didn’t.
“Let me reintroduce myself. I’m also the owner of Palm Novel Website,” Lin Xuan said with a smile.

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way.
