Chapter 100: Chapter 100 - 100 She is Ji Tingyang’s Person

“Young Master Xie, do you have any plans after the party ends? Why not join us and head to the club for some fun?” The woman brushed her sexy, beautiful curls back over her shoulder, her eyes brimming with seductive ripples as she looked at him.

Xie Changyan lowered his gaze, swirled the glass in his hand, and a slight smile hooked at the corner of his lips, “Young Master Su has invited me to the racetrack, care to join us?”

The woman’s smile stiffened slightly, and her voice trembled with a hint of fear, “No… no, thank you.”

She had been to the racetrack once before with Young Master Su.

At that time, she was sitting in the passenger seat. The countdown had just ended, and before she could even react, the racing car took off like a bolt of lightning, streaking across the sky.

At every turn, it felt as if she would be thrown out of the car. Her face turned pale, and she gripped the car handles in terror throughout the ride, ending up embarrassingly sick to her stomach as soon as she got out of the car.

For the following month, she was so scared that she dared not even ride in her family’s car.

Now, just hearing the words ‘racetrack’ made her legs go weak, as she hurriedly ducked aside.

The other women clustered around them were no exception, swiftly clearing several meters of space.

“Every time someone tries to hit on you, you use racing as an excuse,” Su Linzhou said with a grin as he walked over, “After all these years, you’ve never taken a liking to any woman. Your family’s patriarch must be worried sick, right?”

Xie Changyan’s narrow eyes swept over him, “Don’t worry, he’s been anxious for two years now, but he’s still living just fine.”

“But seriously, tell me in secret…” Su Linzhou’s face took on a mysterious air as he lowered his voice, “You couldn’t possibly dislike women, could you?!”

Xie Changyan lifted his eyes, his gaze drifting lightly toward him.

A chill lingered in the depths of his pupils.

Su Linzhou immediately shivered, jokingly saying, “Just kidding, just kidding…”

He let out a couple of awkward laughs, his eyes wandering around.

When he caught sight of a certain figure at the banquet, he froze in place, murmuring to himself, “I don’t know what kind of woman you like, but I now know what kind of woman I like.”

Su Linzhou watched as the dazzling figure drew closer, and his heart skipped a beat.

Then he heard the sweet, delightful voice of the woman.

“Xie Changyan?”

His heart broke; he hadn’t expected her to be coming for his brother.

From the moment she appeared, Xie Changyan’s peripheral vision had been keeping track of her, though he hadn’t expected her to approach him.

He pressed his lips together, his greeting sounding casual, “Miss Lin, what a coincidence.”

Lin Xu’s eyes curved, sparkling with ripples, “Such a coincidence indeed.”

From a distance, she felt the figure seemed familiar, so after hurriedly bidding farewell to Zhou Hongwen, she came over.

She hadn’t expected it to be him.

Their last encounter was too brief; she hadn’t managed to ask much before Xie Changyan had to leave.

The messages she sent afterward vanished without a trace.

Now that she had finally seen him again, Lin Xu decided to seize this opportunity to ask him many things.

Just as she was about to speak, her eyes caught sight of the glass in his hand, a flicker of joy passing through her gaze, “You also like drinking rum?”

“Also?”

Xie Changyan raised an eyebrow but before he could respond, he heard her continue with an unending stream of questions.

“What else do you like to drink? What do you do when you’re bored…”

Her endless inquiries unfolded, and Xie Changyan watched her pair of lips moving up and down, suddenly recalling the fleeting kiss on New Year’s Eve, with his deep brown eyes growing more profound.

“Are you listening?”

After asking many questions and not getting a response for a long time, Lin Xu felt a bit perplexed.

Su Linzhou smiled, “Miss Lin, if you’re thinking of chasing him, don’t bother—he’s not interested in women.”

“But I’m different, if you ask me, I’ll tell you everything, including my measurements~”

No sooner had he finished speaking than his shin was kicked hard.

Su Linzhou clutched his shin and jumped up in pain, hissing, “Xie Changyan, are you sick!”

“Just ignore him.”

Tonight, Xie Changyan finally spoke, addressing her with his second sentence of the evening.

Suddenly, Lin Xu’s lips curled into a smile.

She remembered when she first saw Ji Yanli, surrounded by a few nonchalant boys, and he had kicked them away just like that, with an air of nonchalance.@@novelbin@@

The boys, furious, had quieted down and scurried away in fear after seeing him.

As if finding something in common, Lin Xu’s eyes shone even brighter, gleaming like stars, “Another question, why do you never reply to my messages?”

Xie Changyan seemed scorched by the gleam in her eyes, his gaze flickering before he looked away.

He didn’t know how to answer.

Su Linzhou recovered from his pain and realized that the two of them had already connected on WeChat.

“Miss Lin, you keep asking about him, do you like him?” Su Linzhou asked, all smiles.

Hearing his question, Lin Xu was suddenly at a loss for words.

How should she respond?

Should she say she was just trying to confirm if he was the man she liked?

As she hesitated, Xie Changyan’s usually indifferent expression grew serious, his polite smile fading as he shot Su Linzhou a look, “Will you die if you don’t talk?”

Su Linzhou chuckled, “Yes.”

Lin Xu was still struggling with the previous question when she suddenly saw Ji Tingyang frantically searching for someone in the crowd, her expression turning tense at once.

She remembered Ji Tingyang telling her to stay away from Xie Changyan.

If he found her here, God knows she would get another earful from him.

“I just remembered I have something to do, I should go.” Lin Xu turned and hurried away.

“Where is she going?” Su Linzhou looked puzzled, “She wasn’t scared off by your cold demeanor, was she?”

Xie Changyan stayed silent, watching Lin Xu’s retreating figure.

He saw her run up to Ji Tingyang and say something, causing Ji Tingyang to sigh in relief.

Ji Tingyang looked up, about to glance over, but was hastily dragged away by Lin Xu the next moment.

“Why would she be with Ji Tingyang?” Su Linzhou was astonished.

Although the Su Family and Ji’s had collaborated a few times and weren’t closely acquainted, Su Linzhou knew Ji Tingyang was fierce in business and not someone to be trifled with.

Seeing them together and seemingly close, he was shocked.

Xie Changyan furrowed his brow, downing the glass of wine in his hand, “She’s Ji Tingyang’s person.”

Su Linzhou was dumbfounded, and after a long moment, he turned and patted Xie Changyan on the shoulder, speaking earnestly, “Brother, you should give up on a woman who’s already taken, stop liking her.”

“What are you talking about?” Xie Changyan frowned.

“If you didn’t like her, why did you kick me when I was flirting with her just now?” After being friends for more than a decade, Su Linzhou saw right through him.

Xie Changyan: “…”

“Take my advice, brother, you should give up.”
