Chapter 168 A MAN OF WORD PART 16
A woman came closer to Mo Xuan aka Xue Lin and sat next to her. She was a middle-aged woman who still had her beauty. She was listening to Mo Xuan"s conversation with a young lady.
The young lady said, "But, I"m shy Mo Xuan. You are so handsome and yet so young. You are almost my age. I always dreamed of being with a mature man."
Xue Lin pulled her closer and put his index finger on her lips. She seductively whispered, "Love has nothing to do with age. Just look at us. When I see your lovely face, I feel like I am a lovesick teenager again."
"Oh my, Mo Xuan, you are a perfect boyfriend!" That girl already started to have a nosebleed.
The middle-aged woman sighed. She b.u.t.ted in the conversation and said, "I wish I had a son like you. You are so charming and youthful. You can make anyone happy."
Mo Xuan aka Xue Lin was a bit embarra.s.sed by the praise. She stated shyly, "I"m not as you think I am. I"m only doing it for the money."
That woman responded with a smile, "You are an honest kid, Mo Xuan. That"s why we could easily share our burden with you back then. I"m glad that you haven"t changed."
Mo Xuan laughed. "You think I haven"t changed? I think you are the only one who would say that. If it were my friends, they would say otherwise."
"We all have hard times, don"t we?" the woman sighed and changed the topic. "By the way, can you give me some of your private time tomorrow? I would like you to meet my daughter."
Xue Lin was puzzled by the abrupt change of conversation. "Your daughter? Why do you want me to meet her?"
The woman hesitated before whispering close to her ear, "Why don"t I tell you tomorrow on the way?"
Xue Lin could tell that she was going to gain another client. However, she had a tight schedule for the next few days. She replied, "Tomorrow I have something to do and then I will be busy for a whole week. Give me your contact number. I"ll contact you after I free my schedule."
"Oh, sure," the woman agreed without hesitation. It was a surprise how much she trusted Xue Lin. After exchanging contact numbers, she held her hands and said, "Mo Xuan, only you can help my girl."
Xue Lin carefully asked, "I will try whatever way I can but what about your husband? Will he allow me?"
The woman twisted her lips and said in a venomous tone, "Does he have time to care for his family? He is busy with young women."
"I understand your situation. Don"t worry, you still have me," Xue Lin a.s.sured her.
"My lovely ladies, good evening. Because of your presence, the night has become brighter than the stars. We all know that it"s the finale of the compet.i.tion between two guest hosts. One of them is your beloved Louis, the mysterious playboy, and, the other one is your favorite Mo Xuan, the youngster!" Alex announced. "I"ve already given everyone a pen and a small paper. You all have to write down the name of the only one who took your breath away in these 3 days. I know my wonderful ladies will diligently write the name of their dream man and put it on the golden box in five minutes. The time starts NOW!"
Upon hearing the announcement, everyone happily became ready to write down the names.
To tell the truth, Xue Lin was nervous. She knew that Louis had more customers and fans than she had. She didn"t show her fear to anyone, not even her husband. She kept showing everyone her confidence even though her heart was shaking in fear. There was no way she could pay two billion US dollars.
"Whatever, I did my best. I can only hope for the best and be ready for the worst," Xue Lin took a deep breath and turned to see Louis" face.
Louis was in a good mood. He was chatting with Alex. One of them cracked a joke and both laughed. He was having a great time. He sensed someone looking at him intensely and found Xue Lin staring at him in a daze. He gave her a smug look.
Xue Lin turned her face away. She began a conversation with another woman. She was a young lady who was Louis" diehard fan. She explained her situation shyly, "I have a boyfriend. He is in the football club at the university. I fell in love with him at first sight and I confessed to him. We began to go out that day. I never thought he would actually accept me."
She sniffed and added, "However, a week later, he called me less and we couldn"t meet during school. We could only talk to each other once a week and he would take his time to reply to my messages. Sometimes, he would take five days to reply. We go out on a date once a month."
She felt like breaking down while saying, "It breaks my heart thinking that he is playing with me and nothing more. But, he is a lovely man like you, Mo Xuan. I don"t know who else to talk to about this. I can"t take this anymore."
Xue Lin saw that the voting was done and that Nash and Lucas began counting the votes. Her heart was beating faster. She still had time before the result and she would rather prefer pa.s.sing time by chatting with a girl than wasting her time in anxiety.
She shared her opinion, "He is your boyfriend. Since you like him, you observe every small detail of him, don"t you? If it"s bugging you so much, why not try to share your thoughts with him? In a relationship, having conversations is a must. Maybe he cannot tell you because he needs time or he doesn"t want to tell you. He has his privacy too and you have to respect it. There must be a reason why he is doing this. Have a little patience. If you can"t, follow him for a couple of days in secret. You can also hire a detective if you want. If you think he is being insincere, leave him. A sweet, charming girl like you can always get someone better than a douche bag."
The girl finally relaxed and smiled at her. "You are so sweet, Mo Xuan. I will definitely do that."
At that time, Alex coughed and declared, "My pretty ladies, we have finally got the result. We know who the dream man of your heart is. Now, let me announce the name. The winner is…"
