Chapter 1377: Create an Opportunity for Lin Wenwen
“I heard that he was into your sister for a very long time. How come you still can’t get over him?” Dong Xinxin looked at Lin Wenwen, who seemed to be thrilled. She found the girl a little silly when it came to relations.h.i.+ps. She was extremely loyal to the man that she was fond of, even though the possibility of him falling for her was pathetically low. Under that kind of circ.u.mstances, she should either give and try to forget about him, or help him win the heart of the woman he loved, so she could give up for good. How would any girl keep making efforts for the man without letting him know like Lin Wenwen had been doing?
In a good way, that was selfless love, but in a bad way, it was self-abuse. Lin Wenwen was not an ancient woman who had a super traditional mind. Why did she let herself fall deeper and deeper into her feelings toward that man?
Long Qingying, who had just returned, was quietly leaning against the window frame. She heard what Dong Xinxin said and partially agreed with it. But in the meantime, she also wished that Yuan Tianxing could give up on Chief and pay some attention to Lin Wenwen.
Yuan Tianxing had given up on Lin Qiao already. What could he possibly do even if he didn’t give up? She was the mother of someone else’s son already.
That fact gave Lin Wenwen a bigger hope, but still, a relations.h.i.+p could not be forced. If Yuan Tianxing had no feelings for her, there would be nothing to change that.
Hearing Dong Xinxin’s words, Lin Wenwen gave a faint smile and said, “Honestly, I’m already taking it a lot easier than before. I’m not so obsessed with him anymore. But, he’s the man I love after all. It’s hard to fall in love with someone and it’s even harder to give up on a man that you love. Xinxin, you don’t have someone that you love yet, so maybe you can’t understand how I feel when I can’t help but want to care for him and pay attention to him.”
Yuan Tianxing was no longer Lin Wenwen’s first priority since she experienced Lin Qiao’s death and the fall of Hades Base. However, he had still been taking an important place in her heart, and that would never change.
Dong Xinxin glanced at Long Qingying before turning back to Lin Wenwen, “But, don’t you feel tired? You need energy and a motive to love someone. What’s your motive? Are you expecting him to fall for you someday?”
After saying that, she gave a sigh and continued, “That’s not likely to happen! That kind of man is the most difficult type. You are so silly. There are so many men in the world, so many good ones. Why on the earth did you pick someone who might never want to be with you? At the very least, you should pick one who is not already in love with someone else. What about my brother? My brother is a nice guy and he’s capable. I think he’s quite interested in you.”
Dong Xinxin abruptly started advertising her brother.
Lin Wenwen immediately furrowed her brows, looking at Dong Xinxin as she said, “What the h.e.l.l? Your brother is younger than me, isn’t he? I don’t like to be with a guy who’s younger than me!”
Long Qingying also gave Dong Xinxin a glance with surprise, blinking her eyes.
Dong Xinxin didn’t give up. She raised a hand and started to count the good things about her brother. “What are you talking about? My brother is a mature man. He’s not so much younger than you. He’s only about a year younger than you and that’s nothing! There’s an old saying that marrying a woman who’s three years older than himself can get a man rich! My brother isn’t even three years younger than you are! Besides, my brother is not worse than Deputy Chief Yuan, is he? He’s strong, and he’s the leader of a top-ranked hunters’ group…”
“He’s one of the leaders…” Lin Wenwen interrupted Dong Xinxin before she finished counting.
Dong Xinxin immediately gave her a glare and said, “Can you please let me finish? My brother is in as good shape as Deputy Chief Yuan, and he’s a decent man…”
After struggling to survive for years, Dong Lijia was no longer the young and naive boy that Lin Wenwen had met before. He had grown muscles and he was tall, even though his eyes had grown smaller and that made him look a little like a . Indeed, he could be counted as a great man, except for that…
“He’s not handsome enough…” said Lin Wenwen.
Dong Xinxin almost vomited blood. After all, she could not deny that fact. Yuan Tianxing was indeed much better-looking than Dong Lijia. The appearances of those two weren’t at the same level.
“Well… he’s not as handsome as Deputy Chief Yuan, but he’s not ugly!” That was what Dong Xinxin said at last. She didn’t sound as confident as before though.
Lin Wenwen looked at her and said, “I don’t like Yuan Tianxing for how he looks. I’m not one of those girls who care only about appearance. I won’t fall in love with your brother even if he’s more handsome than Tianxing.”
“Don’t say that just yet,” Dong Xinxin hurriedly said, “You need time to forge a relations.h.i.+p! You can start from spending some time with him! Give it a try!”
She winked at Lin Wenwen while saying that, looking very much like a professional matchmaker.
Lin Wenwen looked at and complained, “Alright, stop it. Are you an old lady from the countryside? Don’t always try to make matches!”
Dong Xinxin looked at her and said helplessly, “What else can I do? My brother is picky! He might have all the patience, but I don’t. I’d like to have a nephew or niece! Also, I’m doing this for you too. You shouldn’t always fix your eyes on just one man.”
While the two of them were talking, Lin Qiao finished her conversation with Lin Feng about those moles and also thought of Lin Wenwen and Yuan Tianxing, “Oh, I don’t think Wenwen needs to leave the base anytime soon. Why don’t we let her a.s.sist Yuan Tianxing in reading those files?”
Duan Juan looked at her and laughed, “You seem to really want the two of them to get together. Aren’t you worried that Deputy Chief Yuan might be sad about it?”
He was into her, yet she always tried to set him up with her little sister!
“I wouldn’t do this before,” Lin Qiao sighed and said, “But now, things are different. He has decided to give up on me, so I might as well give him a push. Wenwen will be happy about it too. Isn’t that a good thing for both of them?”
Lin Wenwen had been fond of Yuan Tianxing for such a long time, and Yuan Tianxing had made up his mind to give up on Lin Qiao. Wasn’t that a perfect opportunity? Lin Qiao understood that she shouldn’t push them too hard, but at least, someone should create some chances for the two of them!
Lin Feng intended to bring Dong Xinxin and Lin Hao together while Dong Xinxin wanted to set Lin Wenwen up with Dong Lijia. And in the meantime, Lin Qiao was planning on creating opportunities for Lin Wenwen and Yuan Tianxing. That was such an awkward coincidence.
Duan Juan followed her words and thought for a moment before nodding, “You’re right. But, if he really got together with Wenwen, wouldn’t you two feel awkward to see each other again?”
The relations.h.i.+p between them would be very complicated.
“No,” Lin Qiao shrugged and said, “Tianxing and Wenwen both tend to love someone whole-heartedly, but they are also decisive. When he really decides to give up on someone, he’d give up for good.”
