Chapter 307: The President Smiled
Although, in reality, the person beneath the mask is him, if Lin Xi truly expressed her adoration for him, it would undoubtedly be like giving Su Chen a green hat.
"Is there something?" Su Chen turned his head, looked at Lin Xi with a hint of impatience.
His gaze, however, was fixedly staring into Lin Xi's eyes.
If Lin Xi's eyes dared show even a trace of adoration, he would immediately take off the mask.
However, if it really came to that, their relationship would probably come to an end.
After the incident with the Zhuang Clan, the relationship between Su Chen and Lin Xi was no longer filled with the initial dislike and mutual disdain.
Instead, they began to slowly accept each other.
Seeing Lin Xi calling out to Su Chen, Tang Qian felt somewhat excited.
Such a man was definitely out of her league.
But Lin Xi was different.
Lin Xi herself was the helmsman of a multi-billion company, and then an outstanding designer, with conditions of her own that were not lacking.
She might just have adequate qualifications.
Haven't you seen that Damon? He obviously has his sights set on Lin Xi.
Tang Qian even harbored some faint expectations.
Expecting whether Lin Xi would have a romantic love story with this mysterious man, like that of a prince and a princess.
Unfortunately, Tang Qian was disappointed.
Lin Xi simply bowed to Su Chen and said, "I am very thankful to Mr. Su this time, if Mr. Su comes to Huaxia, I will definitely treat you with the utmost hospitality."
Hearing Lin Xi's words, Tang Qian became somewhat anxious.
This President Lin.
What's the situation?
What does she mean by coming to Huaxia and treating with utmost hospitality?
Can't it be right now?
To Tang Qian, the current Su Chen was truly a god among men.
Not only does he have a powerful background, but his personality is also very appealing.
Gentle as water when he needs to be, and overwhelmingly domineering when it's required.
Could it be that such a man doesn't catch the president's eye?
My goodness, what kind of man is the president looking for?
Tang Qian was unaware that Lin Xi was already married, thus she speculated whether Lin Xi could engage in a romantic love story with her ideal man.
But Lin Xi didn't think so.
Since she chose to reject Damon for Su Chen.
Naturally, she wouldn't abandon her principles just because this mysterious man helped her.
Gratitude is gratitude, but it shouldn't be mistaken for affection.
If she truly expressed adoration at this moment, it would rather belittle her in the eyes of others.
Su Chen was quite satisfied with Lin Xi's gaze.
It seems that his wife is still very loyal.
Not showing even the slightest adoration for such an outstanding man.
Moreover, Su Chen also had a vague guess as to why Lin Xi rejected Damon.
He couldn't help feeling a little smug.
"Then I'll thank President Lin in advance," said Su Chen before turning and leaving.
Tang Qian watched Su Chen walk away, consistently nudging Lin Xi with her elbow, her expression as if to say, President Lin, you should give chase.
"Tang Qian, what are you doing?" Lin Xi seemed not to notice Tang Qian's expression and looked at her with some confusion.
"President Lin, you're willing to let go of such an outstanding man?" Tang Qian pouted her lips, feeling that the president was too open-minded.
This is the dreamy Prince Charming.
Even if they don't get involved, wouldn't it be okay to invite him for a meal?
With Lin Xi's qualifications, if she extended an invitation, the other party would surely agree.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xi's face revealed a bitter smile as she said, "You also said it, how could such a great man ever take a fancy to me."
"Why not? I just felt that when he looks at you, President, his eyes are filled with admiration," Tang Qian retorted.
"Really?" Lin Xi looked at Tang Qian somewhat disbelievingly.
Tang Qian rolled her eyes and said, "President, it's true that in the business world, nobody can reach the heights you have achieved, but when it comes to romance, you're incredibly dense. Even a fool could see that the judge named Su has an interest in you, and he would definitely have agreed if you had invited him to dinner just now!"
"How about I go call him now?" Seeing that Tang Qian appeared more anxious than she was, Lin Xi prepared to tease her.
"Okay, great, I'm going to tell him that you, President, want to invite him for a meal!" To Lin Xi's surprise, Tang Qian actually took her seriously.
"Come back!" Lin Xi quickly stopped Tang Qian.
This girl, really was silly enough to actually go.
Although she's not sensitive to romance, she's still a woman; she couldn't possibly be completely clueless.
But she's already married, even though, compared to this man, her husband pales in comparison.
It's almost like comparing heaven and earth.
But what can be done about it?
One must follow the husband, no matter what he is.
If Su Chen knew what Lin Xi was thinking at this moment, he'd probably spit out blood in frustration.
Is he that disappointing?
Actually, Lin Xi wasn't troubled at all in her heart.
Because what she valued wasn't material wealth; she wanted money, to earn ten billion, simply to redeem her freedom.
Even if she truly fell in love with Su Chen someday.
At least she would maintain some dignity.
This man indeed is excellent, and perhaps she might have been moved if she hadn't married Su Chen.
But now, it's impossible for her to be moved.
At heart, Lin Xi is a traditional woman, believing that since she married Su Chen, she should remain loyal to him.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have allowed Su Chen to touch her body the first time they met.
It's just a pity that her phrase "You can exercise your rights, but I won't cooperate" directly killed Su Chen's interest.
Otherwise, she might have already become a married woman by now.
Not all men can resist such temptation.
Of course, there's also a possibility that... there's something wrong with Su Chen...
Thinking of this, Lin Xi remembered the time she got drunk and slept with Su Chen.
Back then she thought she had been taken advantage of by Su Chen, even asking Su Chen to buy her a morning-after pill.
And the guy really did buy it for her.
Now she knew that she remained a virgin, and the pill Su Chen bought her was absolutely not Yu Ting.
Because she had checked online, that kind of pill would cause menstrual irregularities after consumption.
But she took it and nothing happened to her at all.
This means that Su Chen knew he did not touch her.
"This guy..." As she thought, an involuntary faint smile appeared on the corners of Lin Xi's mouth.
He hadn't even touched her, yet he played the part so convincingly, making her truly believe as if she had harmed his child.
The President actually smiled!
Tang Qian rubbed her eyes, wondering if she had seen wrong.
It wasn't that Lin Xi never smiled.
But usually, it was just a polite smile.
Yet the smile this time carried a faint scent of happiness.
To think she wasn't moved!
Most likely she's just feeling joyful about the scene when he saved her just now!
That's what Tang Qian believed.
