The Big Shot is Also Crazy About Me Today

Chapter 692: We’re All Like That Person

After dinner, Lin Junyi escorted a few people back to the dormitory.

Lin Junyi comforted Ou Xiaoning, saying: "Don’t think about anything, have a good night’s sleep, and do well in your defense tomorrow. You must believe that you are an excellent and good girl, and all excellent good girls deserve to be treated gently by an excellent good boy!"

Ou Xiaoning looked at Lin Junyi and said, "Mr. Lin, do you like Teacher Chu?"

Lin Junyi chuckled and said nothing.

Ou Xiaoning said: "Mr. Lin, you are great. I believe that one day you will achieve your wishes and find the love you desire, even if that person isn’t Teacher Chu. As for me, I also believe that as long as I don’t give up and continue to strive for a bright life, I will one day find my happiness... Thank you, Mr. Lin, for your trouble today!"

Lin Junyi patted Ou Xiaoning’s shoulder, nodded, and didn’t say anything.

Ou Xiaoning looked at the dazed Shi Nuan and He Meisui and said, "Let’s go!"

Then she turned and walked in the direction of the dormitory building.

Ou Xiaoning’s transformation surprised both of them.

It was later, after Ou Xiaoning successfully defended her thesis.

Shi Nuan asked Ou Xiaoning how she came to terms with everything.

Ou Xiaoning said, "I didn’t really come to terms with it. I just don’t want to appear too much of a failure and be pitied. If I have love, it is dignified to be loved, not loved out of pity... At the same time, I want to tell him that I live well even without him, and I will work hard to live even better!"

...

While Shi Nuan was worried about Ou Xiaoning’s affairs, Song Yansheng met Ji Yunjin and her daughter at the Song Mansion.

Ji Yunjin claimed she came specifically to thank him because her cheongsam show was very successful this time thanks to Shi Nuan.

Ji Yunjin teased, "I told you I’d become famous, and sure enough, unexpectedly, I really did!"

Song Yansheng smiled faintly. "You were always famous, but unfortunately, Nuannuan can’t come back for dinner because of some matters, so..."

Song Yansheng’s meaning was clear, he wanted to send the guests away.

Actually, this was very impolite, and Ji Yunjin felt uncomfortable about it.

After all, she was older and steadier, so she tolerated it.

She tolerated it, but Ji Xiangling might not.

She smiled faintly and said, "A Yu, my mom and I waited for you at the Song Mansion for an hour and a half, and you’ve only come back for five minutes before trying to send us away—is that appropriate?"

"Xiangling..." Ji Yunjin called her daughter to restrain herself.

How could Xiangling restrain herself? She said, "A Yu, I came today with a purpose. I don’t want to mince words with you; it’s quite pointless. That Shi Nuan, I roughly know her identity now, but I don’t understand your real reason for marrying her... You previously told me you liked someone when you were eighteen years old. If I’ve calculated correctly, Shi Nuan would have been just ten years old at that time. Would you like a ten-year-old girl, especially under the circumstances where you didn’t return to the country for four years?"

"Sorry, but I can’t believe it. I found that Shi Nuan and I look somewhat similar. You even said at one point that my calm demeanor reminded you of another person. So can I guess that the reason you chose Shi Nuan over me is because she is gentler and more quiet than I am? And I am too lively... In other words, both of us resemble the person you liked, but neither of us is that person, right?"

Song Yansheng looked at Ji Xiangling lightly in the eyes. After a moment, he smiled slightly and uttered two words softly, "That’s incorrect!"
