Chapter 883 221: Chi Linyue and Pei Danqing's First Encounter (2)

But later Zhuo Wenjun gave him a scolding, so he didn't dare to mess around.

Xu Lin: "Sima Xiangru is probably not as handsome as me."

Pei Danqing kept silent.

"Are you mad?" Xu Lin felt a bit troubled. He opened his phone and found a call record from the morning that lasted over a minute. It was Chi Linyue's call, and he immediately understood what was going on.

Pei Danqing: "I want to find a time to meet this Chi Linyue."

Xu Lin: "You two won't get into a fight, will you?"

"Do you think I'm a shrew?"

"That's true. You're a celestial fairy, how could you be a shrew?"

"Since I'm a fairy, then what about Chi Linyue?"

"She's the elder sister. I've known her for a long time."

"So am I the fourth one?"

"Where's the fourth one coming from? To me, there's no difference between you all."

"You still want to treat everyone equally? And then sleep under one big quilt?" Pei Danqing laughed softly.

"What could happen if it's not equal treatment?"

Xu Lin said lightly: "Besides, I'm busy. These things between women seem trivial to me and shouldn't bother me. I still need to conquer new grounds, and I have so much work to do. How can a brilliant man waste time on such messy things?"

Pei Danqing pouted: "I'm just asking."

Xu Lin: "What's established has already happened, so there's no need to dwell on it. In my heart, you mean a lot to me. I trust you, letting you sign contracts. You see, I haven't just drawn a pie for you. You're my lover, even if just one of them, but you're also my wise partner and future ally. My love for you is extraordinary—why be confined by ordinary men and women's emotions?"

"I, I'm just asking, I didn't mean anything else."

Pei Danqing pursed her lips.

Men's and women's thinking differs; women's thinking leans more towards emotion, making them easily touched, even by trivial matters.

At this moment, Xu Lin moved her with just a few words.

Because Xu Lin truly let her sign the contract.

Not as a legal person obligated to bear responsibilities.

But for the company's future development, those shares, that money, she holds onto.

That's a huge sum, placed in her hands, and no powerful man in the world would trust a woman like this.

But Xu Lin trusts her.

Pei Danqing feels she holds a significant place in his heart.

At this moment, Xu Lin says she is his wise partner and ally.

Pei Danqing felt deeply moved, her emotions instantly dominated her mind.

Actually, if one must say, Chi Linyue holds a heavier place in Xu Lin's heart, since their acquaintance only lacks length compared to Yu Xinyan.

But Xu Lin's thinking differs from other men.

Regarding money, he has only one phrase: money is as trash. To put it bluntly, he doesn't care about money; he's fine with giving his bank card passwords to his women.

Xu Lin is a man whose character is utterly carefree; nothing can bind him, nor should anything.

"I'm going back this afternoon; I'll spend more time with you today."

"Why going back so soon?"

"I'm getting ready for final exams, plus my game just went online recently—you know I need to go back and get busy."

"Alright, but my great-grandfather wants to meet you. He says he hasn't seen you for months."

"Then go meet him at noon?"

"Yeah."

"Let's take a shower and then check out."

In the shower, the two bathed together. Xu Lin seized the moment and in the bathroom had another intimate moment with Pei Danqing, making her completely compliant.

At least for today, compliant.

Xu Lin was gradually discovering the shortcut to dealing with women.

It's through the most primitive mating behavior.

Because in Xu Lin's view, even the noblest people engage in such acts. Confucius had children; Wang Yangming had a wife. Those sages who preached repressing human desires—they too weren't without descendants.

So what's the deal?

Humans inherently are vulgar, very pure, inseparable from animal reproduction and mating behavior.

But in truth, Xu Lin wasn't eager to bother with women's matters; he indeed had larger goals that needed completion.

If a man who has advanced his career greatly can't even manage the little things in his backyard, he's not fit for great achievements.

'The Legend of Zhen Huan' is just women's petty fantasies, while men's epics have been unfolding over five thousand years of history.

At 10 AM, the two went downstairs to check out.

It was a hotel, perfect for having a grand meal right there.

They ate and drank to their fill.

Xu Lin then set off with Pei Danqing to her family's mansion.

"Great-grandfather, Xu Lin's here!"

As soon as Pei Danqing entered the yard, she called out.

Today in the Capital City was pretty cold, around four to five degrees, but fortunately, there was bright sunshine.

Pei Danqing's great-grandfather was lying on a deck chair absorbing the sun, also holding a smoking pipe.

Regarding this smoking pipe, Xu Lin truly felt it was from ancient times, but the older generation—some still have an affinity for pipes.

"Xu Lin, been months since we've seen you!"

The great-grandfather said with a kind smile: "Sit next to me!"

Xu Lin sat down on the chair next to him.

"Great-grandfather, long time no see. How's your health recently?"

"Pretty good, haha..."

He laughed heartily.

Pei Danqing, with slight disapproval, said: "Great-grandfather, you're still smoking? At your age."

The family indeed worries. Great-grandfather's already over a hundred; at this age, regardless of wealth and power, there'll still be unavoidable days.

The great-grandfather laughed: "Danqing, you little girl don't understand. At my age, it's time to enjoy life. A joyful mood is more important than anything. If I feel bad, getting angry once might just send me to the grave!"
