Chapter 1331: Losing you means losing the world.
The young lady saw Lin Chen coming from afar and smiled happily…
She dashed out from under the umbrella. Indeed, as Uncle Dong said, she looked obedient, pretty, and cute! She was very fair… Covered in a blue dress from Tiffany, her entire body glowed under the sunlight.
“Lin Chen!” The young lady called out to Lin Chen, then raised the bag in her hand. Still standing inside the gate with both hands in his pockets, Lin Chen said, “This is my compensation for your watch. I’m sorry I broke your watch! I searched for a long time before I found the exact same watch.”
Lin Chen pursed his lips and said, “You don’t understand what I’m saying? Mm?”
The young lady saw the anger in Lin Chen’s face… She bit her lower lip. “I just want to return the watch to you! I broke the watch, I… I have to compensate you for it!”
The young lady slowly retracted her hand and hugged the bag that had a wrist.w.a.tch in it. “Lin Chen… don’t treat me like this, okay? I really like you…”
Lin Chen wore that staid, deep, and mature look, not moved by the young lady’s confession.
“I really don’t know how to please you. Knowing that you’re competing with our family for that project, I went to my brother’s place to steal his bid price report for you. But you don’t want it! I broke your watch… so I’m giving you a new one, but you don’t want it either! Lin Chen… can you tell me what I should do to make you happy? Tell me what to do to make you like me?”
The young lady started sobbing as she spoke.
Even Liang Mulan, who was watching the surveillance cameras at the door, felt her heart break for the young lady. She, too, was a mother of two daughters. If one of her daughters were to fall hard for someone like this and lower her pride while the person ignored her, her heart would definitely ache.
Perhaps it was because of Lin Ran’s pursuit of Gu Shaoting that Liang Mulan felt this way.
She wanted to open the door and let the young lady in, but she felt that it wasn’t appropriate for an elder like her to interfere with the young man’s matters, so she held back.
“Jian Qiqi… you can’t force me to like you! You’re still young… The world you’ve seen is too small. Perhaps you don’t even know what it means to like someone! Go back!” Lin Chen had a heart of stone. “Don’t come looking for me again in the future!”
Jian Qiqi watched as Lin Chen turned around and was about to get into the mini electric cart to return to the manor. She anxiously grabbed the iron gate that was burning hot from the sun with both hands. “You can’t just think that I don’t know what it means to like someone just because I’m young! My mind is filled with you. I can’t eat or drink properly if I don’t see you! Thinking about how you don’t even care about me breaks my heart. I’m already satisfied even just by looking at you. If this isn’t liking… then tell me what it means to like someone?”
Lin Chen, who had already gotten into the electric cart, stepped on the ground with one foot and said in a deep and magnetic voice, “I like someone… And I’m already satisfied just by seeing that she’s doing well and happy. Instead of forcing and unscrupulously wanting to keep her by my side, I let her go and be happy.”
Upon hearing Lin Chen’s words, Liang Mulan’s heart trembled…
Was there someone in Lin Chen’s heart?
Who was it?
Liang Mulan didn’t even know who her son liked!
Could it be that all these years, Lin Chen wasn’t satisfied with anyone because he had someone in his heart?
Liang Mulan suddenly recalled that when Lin Chen was in university, he seemed to be very close to a lady called Lu Hanzi. He seemed to be keeping in touch with Lu Hanzi!
Lu Hanzi had gotten divorced several times. Could it be that… Lin Chen liked her?
Just as Lin Chen was about to leave, Jian Qiqi suddenly shouted, “That’s not liking her! That’s just cowardice! Since you really like that person, why don’t you work hard… and make you the source of her happiness? In the end, you still don’t like her enough. If you like her enough and feel that losing her is like losing the entire world, you wouldn’t have given up! Unless you don’t have confidence in yourself and feel that the person who can give her happiness isn’t you!”
Jian Qiqi’s clear and bright voice was filled with determination. “Lin Chen, I don’t just like you! So… I want to pursue you with all my might! I believe that I can be your source of happiness. If you get together with me, I’ll definitely make you the happiest man in the world! This is my love for you, Lin Chen! Yes, I think this is love! This is love!”
Lin Chen frowned slightly and said to the security guard, “Drive back…”
“Lin Chen! I won’t give up on you!” Jian Qiqi shouted at Lin Chen, “Because losing you means losing my entire world. I only have one life, so I will definitely make the most of it!”
After shouting, Jian Qiqi placed the bag with the watch inside the gate before turning around reluctantly and leaving with his driver.
Liang Mulan, who was hiding behind the surveillance cameras, looked like she’d just seen a heart-wrenching TV drama. Her eyes turned red…
What a nice young lady!
Despite liking Lin Chen so much, that rascal Lin Chen remained unmoved.
…
Lunch was ready when Lin Chen returned. The security guard took out the expensive watch that Jian Qiqi had left at the gate and handed it to Uncle Dong to handle.
Uncle Dong didn’t know that Miss Jian, so he could only bring the things back to the dining room and pa.s.s them to Lin Chen.
Looking at the packaging of the branded watch, Lin Jingquan could tell that it was expensive. He smiled and said, “She’s not here to return your watch, she’s here to give you a watch. Xiao Chen, since she is your friend, why didn’t you invite her in for dinner?”
“Not a friend!” Lin Chen curtly replied before saying to Uncle Dong, “Uncle Dong, is Xiao Bao back? Give this watch to Xiao Bao!”
Xiao Bao was Uncle Dong’s son, who had just returned from his studies overseas.
Uncle Dong looked at Liang Mulan with an awkward expression. “This… this watch is too expensive!”
He didn’t dare to take a watch worth more than 600,000 yuan…
“Look at you, putting Uncle Dong in a difficult position!” Liang Mulan smiled and said, “Uncle Dong, give it to me!”
Uncle Dong quickly pa.s.sed the watch to Liang Mulan as if he had just been pardoned from some grave sentence.
Lin Chen didn’t care about the watch, so he didn’t ask further. After Liang Mulan opened the packaging, she realized that there was a letter hidden inside.
Liang Mulan unfolded the letter. “Ah… it’s a love letter!”
This was the first time Liang Mulan had seen someone write a love letter to Lin Chen…
Of course, in the past, when Lin Chen was in school, he often received these things. However, Lin Chen would always throw them away before he returned home.
“When Xiao Chen and Nuan Nuan were young, I’d seen Nuan Nuan often receive love letters. But I’d never seen Xiao Chen receive any. At one point, I even thought that Xiao Chen must be very ugly and wouldn’t be able to receive love letters in this lifetime. I didn’t expect that as an adult, he would finally receive one! This is the first time I see a love letter addressed to Xiao Chen… I have to treasure this!” Liang Mulan smiled and said.
Lin Nuan took a sip of water and smiled as she said, “Mom… the love letters Brother received in the past could be piled up into a small mountain. It’s just that he was more careful than I was. He’d throw away all the love letters he’d found in his book before going home!”
