Yes, she liked Lin Yi! She'd had feelings for Lin Yi before, but she didn't dare face them, didn't dare admit it. She'd lied to herself and told herself that they were just good friends … Until today, when Lin Yi confessed to her … She'd walked out of that self-deception completely … …
Yes, were she and Lin Yi still good friends? What kind of friends would hug each other all the time? What kind of friends would meet each other? What kind of friends would have their hearts beat faster when they were together? What kind of friends would have their hearts beat faster when they were alone together?
No, of course not! Xinyan took in a deep breath- she felt like she had to do something … …
Xinyan returned to the girl's dorm, and a lot of people looked at her strangely. After all, the scene of her leaving the room in a bedsheet was too shocking, and now that she was back in a new set of clothes, there were still a lot of people who were curious. What was Xinyan doing?
But Xinyan, naturally, didn't have the time to care about other people's thoughts. She quickly went back to her room and closed the door.
"Xinyan, what were you doing just now? Why the rush? " Xiaoling asked curiously when she saw Xinyan. "If I didn't know Yushu and Mengyao, I would've thought that you were kidnapped again!"
"It's nothing …" Xinyan shook her head. "They're just joking."
"Joking?" Xiaoling didn't believe it, but Xinyan didn't want to talk about it. She didn't ask anymore. "Zhao Shengji and Bai Weituo asked me and Meiyue out for dinner, do you want to go?"
"I'm not going, you guys go … When you come back, just bring me a lunch box from the cafeteria." Xinyan clearly wasn't in the mood to eat. Plus, Xiaoling and He Meiyue were a couple. Why would she go?
"Alright, I'll be going then." Xiaoling nodded and left the room.
Xinyan, on the other hand, hesitated for a moment before gritting her teeth and dialing her mother's number.
"Xinyan, are you feeling better?" Xiao Qinlin quickly picked up the phone. Xiao Qinlin was afraid that Xinyan would be in a bad mood after being kidnapped, so she didn't ask about her daughter's boyfriend at school. Now that Xinyan had taken the initiative to call, Xiao Qinlin naturally wanted to have a good talk with her.
Her brother had called again, saying that House Kang's Kang Zhaolong was going back to Donghai Industry University to write his doctoral thesis. He wanted Xinyan to get along well with him. Xiao Qinlin didn't think it was appropriate to interfere with her daughter's freedom of love. But the Xiao family was on the verge of collapse, and this was something they had agreed to before, so Xiao Qinlin could only bite the bullet and agree to it first.
"Mom … I …" Xinyan had already planned to tell her mother that she didn't want to marry Zhaolong, but she couldn't bring herself to say it. Xinyan rarely disobeyed her parents. This time, she really didn't know what to say.
"What's wrong, Xinyan? What kind of trouble are you in? "Xinyan asked. Xiao Qinlin's heart skipped a beat as she hurriedly asked.
"Mom … I don't want to marry House Kang's Kang Zhaolong, I want to break off the engagement …" Xinyan finally mustered up the courage to say this from the bottom of her heart! She didn't want to be a good girl anymore. She wanted to rebel for once.
"Ah? What?! "Qinlin froze. She didn't think that her daughter would be the first to tell her the truth! She was waiting for her daughter to be in a good mood before telling her daughter about her relationship with Zhaolong. She heard that Zhaolong was a good guy, and he was also a doctor. It wouldn't be a shame for Xinyan to marry him, but she didn't think that Xinyan would want to break off the engagement.
"Mom, I … I'm at school. I have a boyfriend! " Xinyan bit her lips and said firmly, "I like him, I want to be with him. I don't want to marry Kang Ming Ming, I don't want to be manipulated by the family. I want to be a bargaining chip for the Xiao family to marry into the rich and powerful … "
"This … Xinyan …" Qinlin's heart softened. She didn't think that her daughter would be this determined! Last time in Yanjing, her daughter didn't like Zhaolong and didn't want the marriage, but she still agreed to look around first. But this time, Qinlin could feel her daughter's determination!
In the past, although her daughter wasn't willing, she didn't put up such a strong resistance. This time, although her daughter didn't make a fuss, her tone was incomparably firm. So, Xiao Qinlin really didn't know what to say. Especially when she thought of her brother Xiao Ji's phone call, Xiao Qinlin felt helpless …
"Mom, I'm not being impulsive. I'm very sure that I like him …" Xinyan continued.
"Yanyan, sigh!" Xiao Qinlin sighed and said, "Actually, I called you this time to talk about the Kang family's engagement. But you said these things first, so I can't say anything more …"
"Ah? Mom, what's wrong? Did the Kangs say anything? "Xinyan asked, startled.
"Just now, your uncle called me and told me about the Kang family's engagement." Qinlin didn't hide anything. "Your uncle said that House Kang's Zhaolong is going back to Donghai Industry University to write his doctoral thesis. He wants you two to spend some time together …"
"What? He's here? " Xinyan paused, not expecting Zhaolong to be here … She knew that Zhaolong was a student at Donghai Industry University, but Zhaolong was a PhD student, so he didn't have to stay in school all day. He almost never came to school, and Xinyan didn't have much interaction with him. She didn't expect him to come back at this time.
"Xinyan, I understand what you mean. I'll explain it to your uncle. I hope he can cancel the engagement …" Qinlin sighed. "Ever since you were kidnapped, your dad and I have become less concerned about business. Nothing is more important than you! Your dad and I were even thinking of selling the company to the kidnappers for ransom, so we think that we can give up on these worldly possessions. As long as you're happy, that's enough. The Xiao family and House Kang won't be able to threaten us anymore … "
"Thank you, mom …" Xinyan sniffled. She didn't expect her mother to say something like that! Xinyan wasn't stupid. She could guess the consequences of canceling the engagement. Her father's company might be attacked by both House Kang and Xiao family! But then she thought of Lin Yi, and her heart was filled with hope. "Mom, Lin Yi … He's my boyfriend, and he has a lot of connections in Donghai. He knows people from the hidden house, the hidden house Pi. They're working under Lin Yi right now. Rejecting House Kang won't affect your business …"
