CHAPTER 45: CHAPTER 45 DEPARTURE TO JIANGDU

It’s the 2nd today.

Lei Haolong sent a message: "Xu Lin, my parents and I are leaving tomorrow, do you want to come with us?"

"No, I have someone else taking me."

"Alright then, have a safe trip!"

"Thanks, you too."

Lei Haolong thought Xu Lin’s mom was taking him to university, but that wasn’t the case.

In the evening, Xu Lin’s mom called him.

"Do you want me to take you to university?"

"No, I’ll go by myself. You can come visit me at Finance University when you have time."

"Next time I’m in Jiangdu, let’s have a nice meal together, just the two of us."

"Sure thing, Ms. Ren!"

"Actually, I’ve taken on a big case recently. Xu Lin, you wouldn’t believe how beautiful my client is, just as beautiful as your mom used to be!"

Ms. Ren was indeed a beauty.

"Wow, where are the photos? Send them to me quickly!"

"Dream on, maybe next time, I didn’t take any pictures."

Ms. Ren: "She has a great figure too, and she’s single. I thought she’d make a great daughter-in-law, but then I realized, you’re not a match for her, she’s truly a cut above."

"Ms. Ren, why are you looking down on your son?"

"It’s not that I’m looking down, it’s that I know our place. What kind of family do we have?"

The mother and son talked for a long time. Unlike typical parent-child relationships where there’s nothing much to discuss—kids calling for living expenses, mothers expressing concern, kids telling their mothers to take care of themselves, and hanging up after two or three minutes—Xu Lin and Ms. Ren had much to talk about.

After ending the call with his mom,

Xu Lin started packing his things.

Actually, there wasn’t much to pack, just a backpack. Inside were a change of clothes, Xu Lin’s tablet, admission letter, ID card, bank card, and other items.

Additionally, Xu Lin had already mailed some clothes and other luggage ahead via courier.

So, Xu Lin was traveling light.

He liked to keep things simple.

Tonight, Xu Lin didn’t stay up playing games but went to bed early, before midnight.

The night passed without a word, and the next morning arrived.

Around nine o’clock,

Chi Linyue sent a message: "I’m outside your apartment complex."

Xu Lin: "Coming down now."

When Xu Lin arrived at the apartment complex entrance with his backpack, he saw the Maybach S680 and Chi Linyue standing beside it.

Chi Linyue was tall and striking, as beautiful as a fairy.

The phrase "a beautiful woman and a fancy car" couldn’t be more apt.

Today, her long hair was let down, and she wore a fitted dress that reached just above her knees, displaying her exquisite, fair feet and a pair of white high-heeled sandals.

Xu Lin thought, it’s a shame those feet aren’t in black stockings and Valentino shoes.

"Where’s the rest of your luggage?"

Chi Linyue saw Xu Lin only had a regular-sized backpack.

"I sent it via courier."

"That’s a smart choice!"

Chi Linyue smiled and said, "Get in the car!"

"Alright!"

But before getting in the car, Xu Lin asked, "Coming from Jiangdu, how long did you drive to get here?"

"For me, it took about seven hours!"

Chi Linyue rubbed her shoulder: "Quite exhausting!"

"Should I drive?"

Xu Lin felt a bit itchy to try.

After all, he was facing a Maybach S680, and he had a driver’s license and advanced driving skills.

But he hadn’t driven a car yet!

"Are you up for it?"

"You can’t say a man can’t do it; I definitely can."

"Hehe... Go ahead, give it a try!"

Chi Linyue’s smile was captivating.

So, Xu Lin took the driver’s seat, and Chi Linyue sat in the passenger seat.

Xu Lin reminded her, "Buckle your seatbelt."

Chi Linyue nodded and fastened her seatbelt.

Seeing the seatbelt snug against her chest, Xu Lin felt a bit breathless.

"Haven’t seen enough?"

"Let me look a little longer."

Xu Lin wasn’t bashful and looked for a moment before turning his head. As they say, know when to stop, and then he started driving.

Chi Linyue said, "You know, being too big isn’t good either; it attracts perverts, like you, this little scamp."

Xu Lin didn’t feel awkward: "Perverts exist objectively; it’s only natural. But having a good figure isn’t common. Don’t you feel proud? Like other women are jealous and envious of you."

"Not really proud, but indeed many women envy my figure."

"So, nobody else has a figure like yours. If I were a woman like you, I’d walk with my head held high every day to show those women what it means to be a real woman."

Xu Lin glanced back again.

"Haha... little rascal!"

Chi Linyue was amused by Xu Lin’s antics.

Along the way, they chatted casually about light topics.

For example, Chi Linyue asked Xu Lin why he drove so smoothly?

With advanced driving skills, how could Xu Lin not drive smoothly?

Besides, he hasn’t really shown off yet.

Actually, it’s quite a distance from here to Jiangdu, it takes six or seven hours to drive, even when using the highway.

Driving long distances is really tiring.

Xu Lin drove for three hours.

They arrived at a service station ahead.

"Do you need to use the restroom?"

Xu Lin turned around and asked.

Chi Linyue nodded, in fact, she had been holding it in for a while, clearly in urgent need to go, although her face showed no expression.

So Xu Lin parked the car, got out together with Chi Linyue, as he also needed the restroom.

Chi Linyue hurried in her high-heeled sandals, walking faster to reach the restroom.

The restroom at the service station had quite an overwhelming smell.

Appearing at the service station, Chi Linyue was nothing short of a goddess, after all, the people around were ordinary folks, how often do they see such a beautiful and dazzling woman? It’s like a goddess descended to the mortal realm, and she even stepped out of a Maybach.

Strictly speaking, Yu Xinyan couldn’t match Chi Linyue’s charm. Yu Xinyan was just eighteen, while Chi Linyue, in her twenties, exuded captivating charm.

Chi Linyue was watched by many, both men and women, which made her feel uncomfortable.

Also, it was September now, and the weather was still hot, especially in the afternoon, outside was thirty-eight degrees, very hot.

So, when Xu Lin finished his business, Chi Linyue returned to the car with Xu Lin.

Another three hours passed quickly, and Xu Lin and Chi Linyue entered Jiangdu.

The outskirts of Jiangdu were nothing special, just like any other ordinary city.

But the inner districts, now that’s a bustling modern metropolis.

Xu Lin looked outside through the car window: "This is the first time I’ve been to such a mega-city!"

"There’s actually nothing special about it!"

Chi Linyue said beside him: "Plus, you’ll be studying here for the next four years at Finance University, chances are high you’ll work in Jiangdu too? You’ll soon get used to living here."

Xu Lin nodded.

Half an hour passed, and they entered the city.

Chi Linyue said, "Xu Lin, let’s get out and grab a meal!"

"Alright."

Then, Chi Linyue had Xu Lin navigate to a western restaurant.

This western restaurant looked quite upscale.

Chi Linyue was a premium member here, as soon as they arrived outside, a waiter greeted them: "President Chi, please this way."

The waiter then led Chi Linyue and Xu Lin to the second floor.

The restaurant had a dim lighting tone, resembling a candlelit dinner style, seemingly perfect for couples dining.

Xu Lin had never seen this style in a western restaurant before.

But upon looking at the menu, he understood, a 200-gram steak cost thousands, and a lemonade was not less than dozens.

In Xu Lin’s previous experience, dining at western restaurants in the city cost at most a few hundred.

With Xu Lin’s current appetite, a meal at this restaurant wouldn’t be less than several thousand to ten thousand, and that’s not including drinks.

"Xu Lin, order whatever you like, don’t hold back, eat anything you want." Chi Linyue smiled.

Xu Lin wasn’t shy, he wasn’t reserved.

"Sis, then I won’t hold back!"

Chi Linyue nodded.

Xu Lin ordered a 300-gram steak, along with some other dishes, and also ordered on behalf of Chi Linyue.

This meal totaled more than ten thousand.

If they added wine, it would start from twenty thousand.

After eating and drinking to full satisfaction.

The time had come to six or seven in the afternoon, in September, it gets dark around eight.

"Xu Lin, are we going directly to the school or what?"

Chi Linyue asked.

"I’ll go tomorrow."

"So today we’ll stay outside?"

"Yes."

Xu Lin asked: "Do you have any hotel recommendations here?"

"Hotels aren’t good, dirty, better stay at my place!"

"That’s not appropriate, after all, I’m a guy."

"Don’t worry, I trust you, you may be a bit forward, but not vulgar."

Saying this, Chi Linyue burst into laughter.

"So is this a compliment or something else?"

"Guess?"

"I won’t guess!"

"Haha..."

Chi Linyue laughed gracefully.

A twenty-something femme fatale, truly she had a unique charm.

[A woman you currently cannot handle.]

Xu Lin glanced at her label.

"Let’s go! Tonight, just stay at my place!"

Chi Linyue strode her beautiful legs, inside the restaurant, not just men, even women were captivated by Chi Linyue’s charm.

She dominated the scene.

Xu Lin followed her.

[You will +stay at Chi Linyue’s home.]

Seeing the + sign, Xu Lin silently activated it.

[Task triggered: Invite a wolf into the house.]
