The Female CEO Falls in Love with Me

"I'm almost done, boss! Cancel a portion." Xiao Xun couldn't stand Li Yan's profiteering and immediately rejected his insincere gesture.

Girls don't eat much, and they're conscious about their figures, just tasting a bit is enough. After Xiao Xun spoke, they all quickly agreed. The boys followed suit, and in the end, they only ordered extra for Li Yan and a Wang Lao Ji.

This was acceptable for everyone, though they all secretly disdained Li Yan. Especially Bai Feijin, who had been cursing inwardly for a while, thinking this guy was shameless! However, he didn't show it, hoping Li Yan would be as stingy as possible, so he'd lose face in front of classmates, leaving Yu Xiaodi feeling embarrassed! Wouldn't that be an opportunity?

"Come! Coach brother, I'll toast to you!"

Bai Feijin poured himself a beer, ready to drink with Li Yan, and after taking a sip, he casually, seemingly unintentionally, said, "Did you get those tickets yet? I thought you'd be able to get them, returned mine today, or I would have gifted you, what a pity."

He had already mentioned this topic many times tonight, everyone knew, and now he was asking Li Yan directly again, immediately drawing their attention, wanting to see how Li Yan would respond.

Yu Xiaodi's face fell, this guy had just promised not to bring up the topic face to face… She decided she'd no longer be kind to Bai Feijin, even directly offending him to make him give up!

Li Yan saw their eagerness to watch the drama unfold, and Bai Feijin's smug demeanor. He said slightly awkwardly, "Yes, it's a pity, I found out too late, by the time I went to buy, tonight's tickets were sold out, even scalper tickets were unavailable. Normal tickets could still be bought, but since I'm taking Xiaodi, of course, I want VIP tickets from the front."

Bai Feijin sneered, "So you didn't get the tickets because you found out too late, refused non-VIP tickets? I thought you were just unwilling to spend money, not bothering to buy at all."

Mo Fei and Yan Xuan gave knowing smiles, thinking Li Yan was just making excuses. The real reason was this guy had no money, was stingy, and surely deceived Yu Xiaodi.

Yu Xiaodi saw Bai Feijin successfully making everyone laugh at Li Yan, displeased she slammed the Wang Lao Ji can on the table, "Bai Feijin, whether he spends or thinks about spending, what's it to you? You only got two concert tickets, why not flaunt them by running around campus?"

Seeing Yu Xiaodi angry made everyone a bit awkward, the atmosphere turned tense, their gazes shifting amongst the three of them.

They thought Bai Feijin would be embarrassed or even leave but he seemed quite pleased!

Indeed, he was happy. In his view, he was employing a strategy that hurt an enemy a thousand times at the cost of eight hundred to himself. Though detrimental to both parties, if successfully damaging Li Yan's reputation, it was worthwhile! Now Yu Xiaodi was angry, surely not just because of his words, but also Li Yan's incompetence!

"Sorry to boast, being poor and flaunting, I'll punish myself with three drinks!"

Bai Feijin apologized sincerely, not escalating the conflict but casually accepting his punishment. This relaxed the tension at the scene, making everyone feel he performed best at this moment, and they all joined in eating and drinking, avoiding the cold atmosphere.

Li Yan didn't respond to Bai Feijin's words, feeling it was hard to do so, leaving everyone thinking he was cornered by Bai Feijin, worried he'd be embarrassed in public, they didn't push the topic back to him. Yu Xiaodi also squeezed Li Yan's hand, signalling him to not worry, that she didn't mind.

"Haha, I'm actually embarrassed for causing misunderstanding. What I meant was I didn't get tonight's tickets but did get tomorrow night's added show... VIP tickets."

At this moment, Li Yan revealed the truth, yet everyone thought he was just maintaining dignity, including Lu Min and Ling Wua, who found it embarrassing, thinking if he couldn't get them, then let it go, why quarrel with Bai Feijin?

Having just gulped three beers, Bai Feijin saw Li Yan daring to claim, subtly laughed, "Wanna let me see... and compare them with my regular tickets?"

Everyone looked at Li Yan with pity or schadenfreude, a lie publicly exposed, how does that feel...

Yu Xiaodi looked at Li Yan, softly said, "I feel a bit uncomfortable, escort me home first..."

Li Yan knew she was sparing his dignity, giving him an out. He immediately shook his head and then pulled out concert tickets.

"I've been really busy these days, purposely came over to deliver them. How could I forget my promise or not prioritize it? Haha, I anticipated they'd add a show, hence refused non-VIP tickets."

Li Yan produced two tickets and handed them to Yu Xiaodi, "You can keep them."

...

This development astonished everyone, he wasn't about to be exposed by Bai Feijin, yet he actually produced the tickets!

All eyes turned to Yu Xiaodi's hands, they had no doubt if Li Yan randomly pulled out a piece of paper, Yu Xiaodi would cover for him.

The same incredulity was shared by Yu Xiaodi, she hadn't expected Li Yan to get the tickets at all, remembering the promise was already delightful. But he'd come specially to find her, actually bringing the tickets!

The gesture was light but the sentiment deep, the tickets undeniably precious, but his consideration truly rare!

Her gaze only met Li Yan, 'How could I forget my promise, or not prioritize it?' These words sounded sweeter than any concert, whether the tickets were genuine or VIP was irrelevant, even including others' opinions and Bai Feijin's mockery, felt trivial.

This is their own business; why worry about what others say?

The others don't have thoughts like hers; they all want to know the truth. Seeing the beautifully printed ticket in her hand, they can't be sure, but at least they know it's not a piece of tissue. Wanting to find a chance to poke fun at Li Yan, little Xuan couldn't help but reach over Lu Min and grab it.

"Let me see, just to take a look..."

Before she finished speaking, she stopped. No need to question it; this is the concert ticket for Nian Yufei. Unless he printed a VIP ticket himself.

The girls sitting on both sides could also see the ticket; those across from them couldn't, but their expressions made it clear.

Now Bai Feijin was embarrassed. He had been harping on and attacking Li Yan about this all night. Now that Li Yan really took out a ticket, and it's the VIP ticket he couldn't buy, he has nothing more to say. If he continues to doubt and asks to see the ticket again, it'll just make him look petty. He could only drink his beer in silence. Everyone is drinking just for fun, not to compete, yet most of the beer ended up being drunk by him alone.

"Ahem... it's about time. Let's pay the bill and head back!" Seeing Bai Feijin's awkwardness, Mo Fei suggested settling the bill and leaving.

"The coach hasn't had much to eat yet!"

The girls felt it was a bit excessive; just when Bai Feijin was badmouthing people behind their back, they didn't suggest leaving, but now with Li Yan in the spotlight, they want to go! However, Yu Xiaodi didn't mind. With everyone else gone, she had more time to spend with Li Yan. If he's really hungry, she could accompany him for more food.

"No worries, haha, I can pack it!" Li Yan said with a smile, then went over himself, ordering more grilled skewers along with the ones already prepared, and packed them together.

Young students are often shy about packing leftovers. Intentionally packing is one thing, but packing leftovers feels very awkward. Many thought Li Yan's action was a bit embarrassing.

Seeing Li Yan carrying a bag back, Bai Feijin and the others started digging for money, sticking to the plan where the four boys split the bill.

"Let's go!"

Yu Xiaodi nodded; she didn't care about the embarrassment of Li Yan packing leftovers and stood up.

Bai Feijin and the others were a bit upset. Although they said previously Li Yan didn't need to pay, now it seems rude that he's packing so eagerly but hasn't mentioned paying the bill. Are they that close?

A bit annoyed but unable to voice it, they could only call the boss to settle the bill.

"That gentleman has already paid." The boss pointed at Li Yan with this sentence before going back to work.

Everyone was stunned; they had seen Li Yan packing and felt embarrassed, pretending not to know him, yet he had silently paid the bill!

"Thanks... Coach bro." Seeing the guys weren't too happy, Ling Wua took the lead to thank him, because Yu Xiaodi didn't allow them to call him uncle, only coach or bro, so she combined them.

Others thought how he hadn't managed to eat much, yet he rushed to pay the bill, and also began expressing their gratitude.

Li Yan was just temporarily filling in as Yu Xiaodi's tennis coach and found the nickname "coach bro" a bit awkward, "You're welcome, you're all still students, and I have a job, can't let you pay for me!"

Yu Xiaodi was undoubtedly the happiest and most excited. When Bai Feijin said Li Yan wouldn't come to accompany him, he immediately showed up; said he didn't buy a ticket, he produced a VIP ticket; said he wouldn't participate in splitting the bill, he took the initiative to pay it all...

Unexpectedly, Li Yan gave her quite a surprise on this unintentional gathering. What was thought to be a slightly disappointing weekend turned out to be far more rewarding!

Walking out onto the street, Li Yan said, "Xiaodi, I won't be able to come pick you up tomorrow night. I've written the time on the ticket; you can go over yourself, is that alright?"

Yu Xiaodi nodded eagerly, "Of course, no problem. I'm already very happy that you made time to accompany me."

Li Yan felt slightly guilty, "I'll learn from the foreigners and be very punctual. I won't arrive early, so you don't either, and let's see if we can reach the entrance at the same time..."

"Alright!" Yu Xiaodi agreed earnestly, looking forward to an unexpected simultaneous arrival.

"I need to head back now, you..."

"No worries, you go get busy."

Watching the two of them chatting, this scene felt quite familiar.

To prevent a classmate from being sullied by Li Yan, this scoundrel, little Xuan gritted her teeth, ran over and pulled Yu Xiaodi, "Xiaodi, we agreed to play cards, don't leave! Let's head back first!"

Yu Xiaodi found it a bit funny, while Li Yan was at a loss for words. (To be continued, to know what happens next, please visit www.qidian.com for more chapters, support the author, support legitimate reading!)
