"Hmm… not bad. These pictures are well taken." Ge Chen was checking all the pictures Louis took since the wedding. After threatening his friend with his intense gaze, Louis didn"t have any other choice but to give in. "I want all of them. Buy an alb.u.m and put the pictures there before giving it to me."
Louis took his DSLR camera and looked at Ge Chen sheepishly. "Are you sure this is going to work? She doesn"t look like she is charmed by you. Will you be happy if you are with her? Or is it that you are using her?"
Ge Chen looked at the way she departed and calmly said, "I will use anyone but her."
Louis gasped. "Are you saying that you will use me too?"
"There is no point of arguing with him." Ge Chen sighed and stood up. "I"m going to rest. You guys go back. Tomorrow we will head to Beijing."
Ming Yu overcame his embarra.s.sment and said, "I will arrange everything."
Ge Chen glanced back over his shoulder. "Don"t do anything that will make her think that I spend money unnecessarily."
Ming Yu was astonished. "Does that mean…"
Ge Chen left without answering him.
Louis glanced at Ming Yu. "What did he mean?"
Ming Yu sighed.

"Why are we in the economic cla.s.s?" Louis sobbed. Yesterday he asked what Ge Chen meant and today he wanted to follow Ge Chen and as a result, ended up in a public airplane and what"s worse, it was economic cla.s.s. He couldn"t relax his body and when he asked for wine, the attendant couldn"t give him and apologized.
Ming Yu focused on his laptop and said, "I told you better not to follow him but you didn"t listen. Now quit whining about it like a spoiled brat and get some rest."
Meanwhile, Xue Lin and Ge Chen were getting the attention of the ladies. Xue Lin gazed at her husband. He was gazing quietly outside the window. He didn"t seem to notice that others were looking at him. He looked like a king in deep thought. "He really has striking features." She thought. She couldn"t help but gaze at him. His white skin, his inky hair, grey eyes, thick eyelashes, sharp nose, pale lips, his firm jaw, slender neck and his collarbone…
Xue Lin averted her gaze. "What the h.e.l.l am I doing? When did I turn into a h.o.r.n.y girl?" Her face heated up. She recalled that once her friend Yan Su told her, "Women find men"s collarbones tempting."
Xue Lin shook her head. "Nope, nope, I"m not tempted. I"m not tempted." When she realized that her heartbeat was increasing, she took some deep breaths and tried to relax.
Ge Chen noticed her unusual behavior and asked, "Is there something wrong?"
Xue Lin shook her head. "Nothing is wrong. Everything is fine. Just thinking about something." She couldn"t look at him while answering. She felt that his eyes could see through everything. It"s not easy to fool a person like him. "And people like them are dangerous."
She recalled last night. When he said that it was a feast, he meant it. She ate all kinds of great Chinese food cooked by a famous chef in China. She didn"t know how her husband knew that guy, but she began to have a favorable impression of her husband. They didn"t talk much during the feast. She was too busy to eat. She didn"t have time to concentrate on other things.
A person who gives people food is good. She firmly believes that.
Soon, they reached Beijing. Ming Yu had called the Ge Family"s chauffeur beforehand. Ge Chen introduced him to her. "He is Ming Yu. We grew up together."
"You are childhood friends. That"s wonderful!" Xue Lin exclaimed. She sounded surprised but it didn"t show in her face. "I"m Fa Xue Lin. It"s a pleasure to meet." She bowed respectfully.
"Likewise." Ming Yu also bowed. He was surprised that she had a polite side. His first impression of her wasn"t that good. After all, she disrespected her father in front of other people. In his view, her parents made mistakes but she shouldn"t have done that. Like a mature and respectable person, she should have stayed quiet. If she wanted to argue, she could have done that at home. He wasn"t sure that his childhood friend aka his boss was thinking of marrying her.
Louis came forward and gave her a pleasant smile. "h.e.l.lo, I"m Louis. I"m also Chen"s friend. Let"s get along well." He looked overly friend and playful. Just the type she disliked. She thought that people who acted overly friendly had some kind of hidden agenda.
"Hi, I"m Xue Lin and I"ve no interest in getting along with people I don"t know well." Her words were straightforward and blunt. It made Louis speechless. He started to panic inside. "What did I do? Where did I go wrong?"
A black limousine arrived and the chauffeur bowed to Ge Chen. "Welcome back, young master." He eyed at the girl curiously who looked like a middle school girl but said nothing. He silently opened the door for his young master.
Ge Chen nodded slightly before he and Xue Lin got on. Ming Yu and Louis didn"t tag along. They took Ming Yu"s car.
Louis looked at Ming Yu in horror. "I think I did something wrong. But what did I do to be so mad at her?"
Ming Yu drove his car and shared his thoughts, "Maybe you were overly friendly and she didn"t like it."
Louis couldn"t understand this theory. "But every girl likes it."
"Every girl fell for Chen but not her." Ming Yu followed the Ge Family"s car.
"I"m so sad!" Louis was hurt. He never thought he would be rejected by a girl. He is rich and handsome. He has everything that a girl hopes for. Then why did that happen?
