Chapter 1078: Fate Brought Them Together
University in the Capital.
Lin Xuanji sat in her own seat, holding onto a pencil while sketching her jewelry design.
A group of male students were gathered outside, squeezing outside the window to take secret glances at Lin Xuanji.
From the moment Lin Xuanji was admitted to X University, she had become the campus belle.
—-Wow, Lin Xuanji is really beautiful.
—-Are you planning to pursue Lin Xuanji? In your dreams! There are so many guys here who gift her with love letters and chocolates every day but she has rejected every one of them.
—-We can just admire her beauty from afar then, our life spans will probably become longer looking at her every day.
Lin Xuanji’s seat was near the windows. The golden rays of the sun shone on her, she wore a red knit sweater with black tapered trousers and a pair of white sneakers. With her hair down, it cascaded down her back in soft strands and her beauty was apparent, only adding to her charm.
She hadn’t bothered with those boys outside, with every batch that was gone another batch replaced them. Most of the boys were infatuated with her but she hadn’t given them a proper glance at all.
Her hand suddenly stopped moving, a handsome face popped up in her mind.
Mr Lu.
She had been thinking of him countless times for the past two weeks, her heart wrenched in pain with every single time she was reminded of him.
She no longer had her chast.i.ty.
She had lost the most precious thing a girl had.
Reminded of these memories, she grabbed the pencil so tightly till her hand hurt. Something light suddenly flew over, landing on her sketchbook.
It was… a colorful dandelion.
Lin Xuanji’s eyes lit up, it was her favorite dandelion.
Taking the dandelion, the corners of her lips kicked up and her eyes crinkled into a faint smile. Her troubles would instantly dissipate once she saw a dandelion.
There was a commotion in the cla.s.sroom. “Wow, look, there are so many colorful dandelions.”
Lin Xuanji got up from her seat, walking over. She lifted her head, looking at the clear skies. Countless colorful dandelions were in the sky, it really was beautiful.
—-Why are there so many dandelions? I remember they’re not in season now, there shouldn’t be any now right?
—-You may not know about this, but colorful dandelions are considered royals in the dandelion family and are imported from overseas. I don’t know which rich person planted so many of them in the Capital.
—-The dandelions seem to have come from the direction of Busan Road. Busan Road is the most expensive area in the Capital, every square is equivalent to gold, only the rich and privileged can afford to stay there.
—- Oh you reminded me. There seems to be a new manor being built along Busan Road. I heard that the owner has requested to have the construction works expedited. When I pa.s.sed by the manor that day, I could already see from outside that the manor was incredibly huge.
—-d.a.m.n! The owner must be really wealthy!
—-All rich bosses in the Capital are all ranked, who exactly number one?
Everyone continued discussing but Lin Xuanji wasn’t interested at all. She stretched her arm out and a few dandelions landed on her palm. She kept it pressed inside her book.
“Xuanji.” Huo Yanmei suddenly ran over. “I’ve found you a place to say. It’s a studio apartment with great facilities and security.”
Huo Yanmei was the eldest daughter of the Huo family and the Huos owned property in the Capital. She stayed in one of those properties.
But with the downfall of the Lin family, Xuanji needed to search for a place to stay. Huo Yanmei was her true friend, accompanying and helping her even through her toughest times.
“Thank you, Yanmei.”
“Xuanji, you’re welcome. You’re not familiar with the Capital and you don’t need to stand on ceremony with me. I’ve helped you pay for six months’ rent. You can move into the apartment today.”
“Yanmei…”
“Remember to include interest when you return me the money!”
Tears welled up in Lin Xuanji’s eyes, she was really touched by Huo Yanmei’s actions. She held Huo Yanmei’s hands tightly.
Huo Yanmei handed a set of keys over to her. “Xuanji, you can give me a call when you run into any problems. I’ll leave first.”
…
School ended and Huo Yanmei left. Lin Xuanji held a few books in her arms as she left the school.
A melodious ringtone sounded, she had an incoming call. Taking out her cell phone to check, she froze.
It was Lu Jinwen.
Two weeks had pa.s.sed and he hadn’t contacted her at all. She had a.s.sumed that… he had forgotten about her.
Well, it was better if he just forgot about her. It was destined they wouldn’t have any happy ending.
Biting down on her lower lip with her pearly white teeth, she hesitated for a while but didn’t pick up the call. She just put her phone back inside her pocket. Holding her books and sketchbook in her arms, she set off for the apartment.
The apartment was situated near campus, it was a mere five minutes walk away.
A Rolls-Royce parked opposite the road. It attracted almost everyone’s attention when it was parked there, especially those young female students.
The girls all had their gazes fixed on the car. They had no idea what kind of man was seated in that prestigious car. It was a pity the car window wasn’t wound down, the windows of the car were also tinted to the point that people inside couldn’t see whatever was inside the car.
But the girls straightened their backs, swaying their hips around while wearing stilettos, hoping that some wealthy man would lay their eyes on them.
The inside of the car was totally silent. Lu Jinwen sat in the driver’s seat, holding onto his cell phone.
—-Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable.
She hadn’t picked up the call.
Lu Jinwen lifted his eyes, looking outside. He had spotted her with just one glance when she first stepped out of campus. There wasn’t a lack of beauties on campus, but her pure, innocent beauty overpowered all of the other girls. As always she was that blooming rose.
His gaze was fixated on her as she held those books in her arms while walking along the street. Her hair was long and flowy, she was such an ethereal beauty.
Was she angry with him?
Was she angry because he hadn’t contacted her for two whole weeks?
It was only because he had been busy.
He had Secretary Ye settle the matters in Karghalik discreetly, since he was the one who arranged everything, but Lin Zhong was her father after all. He had to make sure it appeared like he hadn’t been involved at all. Everything had to be settled properly.
Throwing his cell phone in the pa.s.senger’s seat, he stepped on the accelerator. Lin Xuanji only stopped when she heard some loud engine sounds beside her.
Looking sideways, a Rolls-Royce approached her and the window wound down, revealing a handsome face.
Lu Jinwen.
Lin Xuanji froze. She hadn’t expected him to appear here.
He was in the Capital too?
It must be fate that they met each other without arranging for it.
It made her flutter.
Lu Jinwen had both hands on the steering wheel, wearing a custom-made black s.h.i.+rt. Everyone said that the overlord of Karghalik, Second Young Master Jun was suave and had all the traits that all women could ever ask for, but in fact, Lu Jinwen would be able to take that place if only he hid away that menacing aura he had. He had such distinct facial features and the black s.h.i.+rt only served to elevate his good looks. He was practically dazzling.
He moved his lips once he saw her. “Get in.”
He wanted her to get in the car. Lin Xuanji’s heart thumped, she bit down on her lower lip again.
Why did she love to bite on her lip so much?
Lu Jinwen looked at her, his Adam’s apple bobbing.
