I Really Didn’t Want to Increase My Favorability!

Chapter 168

However, he sent a question mark over, and the other party didn’t reply either. Xu Lin felt a bit embarrassed.

Maybe he startled the other person, asking if it was Linshui, then directly revealing their identity.

Over half an hour later, it was already half-past nine. Ji Yun glanced at the time, startled to realize she hadn’t done her homework yet.

“I have to go back. My dad might need me soon, and I didn’t bring my phone.”

“Okay.” Xu Lin saw the worried look on Ji Yun’s face and understood she was probably concerned about not finishing her homework.

“I’ll go get your backpack.” Xu Lin hurriedly headed to the bedroom.

“Be careful not to wake Shaoyao.”

“Okay.”

In the bedroom, Xu Lin picked up Ji Yun’s backpack and glanced at Shaoyao, who was sleeping soundly in the shape of a character. He smiled.

Beautiful and adorable children, he warmly welcomed.

About to leave, he glanced at the notebook again, unplugged the power cord, and put it in her backpack.

Exiting the bedroom, Xu Lin noticed Chu Qingchan and Ji Yun had already reached the doorway.

“Are you going back with Superstar Chu?”

“Mr. Xu probably still has writing to do, so we can’t disturb him all the time.”

“Then you should go back early and rest, drink more water. If your throat feels uncomfortable, just tell Teacher Guan and take a break.”

“Okay, I understand. You should also rest early. I heard from Ji Yun that you’re going for a run tomorrow.”

“Yeah.”

“Good luck.”

With that, she went straight up and hugged him. In an instant, the gaze of three women, Li Yuan, Ji Yun, and Ye Fanleng, fell upon them.

But feeling the fragrance in his arms, he still gently patted Chu Qingchan’s back without any reservation.

She didn’t keep hugging either. After a brief two seconds, she let go of her arms and walked away.

“Ji Yun, here’s your bag.”

“Okay.” Ji Yun took the backpack. “Did you put anything in it?”

“I put my notebook in it. I’ll use my desktop computer for writing novels. You go back and have a good chat with Chu Fengyi, see what she says.”

“Okay.”

Actually, Ji Yun wanted to ask Ye Fanleng just now, but she’s a big boss, definitely busy. It’s better not to disturb her.

Ji Yun nodded, and Xu Lin also gave her a hug, patting her shoulder and whispering gently in her ear, “Goodnight.”

“Goodnight.”

“Don’t be clingy, go back.”

“Got it.”

Hearing Chu Qingchan’s words, Ji Yun’s cheeks flushed, but she still politely waved to Ye Fanleng and Li Yuan.

“Goodbye, Auntie, Ms. Ye.”

“Goodbye.”

Ye Fanleng and Li Yuan waved their hands but with strange expressions as they watched the two girls happily enter the elevator hand in hand, as if there was something wrong with their eyes.

Just now, both of them hugged the same boy, yet the two girls didn’t seem to mind?

Initially, they thought the two were just friends, unaware of each other’s feelings for Xu Lin, but now it seems like they do know.

But why are they so harmonious? A question flashed in both Ye Fanleng and Li Yuan’s minds.

“What’s wrong with you two?”

“It’s nothing, nothing.” Ye Fanleng and Li Yuan quickly shook their heads.

Ye Fanleng couldn’t ask anything in front of his mother, while Li Yuan thought her son handled it nicely, maintaining balance quite skillfully.

Back in the room, Li Yuan started packing up the snacks, and Ye Fanleng went over to help.

“Miss Ye, why don’t you chat with Xu Lin for a while? I’ll take care of this.”

Then Li Yuan pulled her to sit next to Xu Lin, while she gathered the trash and headed towards the door.

“Are you taking out the trash?” Xu Feng also walked out of the bedroom, yawning.

“Yes,”

“I’ll go down with you and grab a bottle of drink on the way.”

“You’re such a grown-up and still like drinks, let’s go.”

With a click of the door, the entire living room was left with just the two of them, and the air fell into silence. After a while, Xu Lin finally spoke.

“Ms. Ye.”

“Don’t call me Ms. Ye, why are you being so formal?”

“It’s not about being formal, calling you ‘Sister Ye’ makes you seem too old, and calling you ‘Miss Ye’ feels distant.”

“Then call me Fanleng.” Ye Fanleng’s eyes suddenly filled with aggression, staring openly at him, intense and compelling.

“…” Xu Lin didn’t dare to engage in this conversation. It reminded him of the ripples from that night in Jinling.

The other party had suddenly launched a seductive attack on him. From the current situation, it seemed she hadn’t given up yet.

Although he thought it would be nice for a beautiful woman to throw herself into his arms, the nature of this situation was different.

Because he understood very well that the mature woman in front of him, at 31, didn’t simply like him.

It was an additional value derived from not being able to touch other people, suddenly being able to touch him.

If she could freely touch any man, he wouldn’t have any additional value towards her. Her favorability for him might not even reach his current value of 25.

In other words, it was desire that drove her, it was physiology that drove her, not emotions.

Of course, there’s also the relationship with Shaoyao. Anyway, it’s a combination of factors that drove her, not just her own preferences.

“Huh! Ms. Ye, I understand how you feel about me now. But you also need to understand, I’m not inherently unique. I’m someone who enjoys slacking off, easily gets overwhelmed by difficulties and shuts down.

“And as you’ve seen, I’m also fickle, liking one person after another, yet not daring to give any of them an answer.

“Don’t be attracted by my supposed uniqueness, even if I’m the only man you can interact with. Don’t let my uniqueness blind you to your true feelings.”

With utmost sincerity, Xu Lin finished speaking. Ye Fanleng stood up calmly, stretched lazily, creating a beautiful curve.

Then, she abruptly turned, facing him directly, and sat on his lap, her hands directly cupping his cheeks.

Ye Fanleng’s demeanor instantly shifted from graceful and intellectual to a commanding queen-like presence.

Although separated by thick clothing, he could still feel Ye Fanleng’s voluptuous thighs, making him feel hot all over.

She leaned in gently again, breathed out, hitting his ear, causing his whole body to shiver. “Ms. Ye, what are you doing?”

“But for me, your uniqueness is the most important. I’ve never believed in love, but I believe that over time, feelings will develop.”

“What do you mean, Ms. Ye?”

“The Chu family isn’t easy to enter, I think we can give it a try.”

“I’m a woman, I’m 31 years old, I have a daughter, I need to find her a father. I need to find myself a husband. She likes you, and I don’t dislike you, that’s enough.”

“As long as you can be a good husband, a good father, whatever you want, I can help. Even if you find a mistress, as long as you’re honest and open with me, I don’t mind.”

Ye Fanleng actually didn’t want to move so fast, but after listening to Xu Lin’s words, she realized she had to be honest.

As she spoke, Xu Lin’s eyes reddened, he reached out, grabbed her waist, and flipped her over, pinning her beneath him.

Ye Fanleng was startled, looking into Xu Lin’s suddenly hungry eyes, her heartbeat quickened.

What would it feel like? She slowly closed her eyes, but after a few seconds, she felt a lightness.

Opening her eyes, she found Xu Lin already standing up, heading straight to the bathroom, the sound of running water filling the air.

He splashed cold water on his face, drenched his collar, and only then, panting heavily, did he manage to suppress his desire.

This Ye Fanleng really meant it!

After half a minute, completely calm, he walked out of the bathroom. Seeing the woman on the couch, he took a deep breath.

“Ms. Ye, when I tried to kiss you just now, you instinctively avoided it. So, Ms. Ye, wait until you truly fall for me.”

“Let’s talk about other things. I’ll go work first, you can do whatever you want.” With that, he went straight into the bedroom.

Ye Fanleng watched Xu Lin’s disappearing figure, slapped her head, and slumped onto the couch.

Rubbing her hair vigorously, her beautiful hairstyle vanished in an instant! Scattered into a mess, just like her emotions.

“Ye Fanleng, what the hell are you doing?! Have you gone mad?!

I told you to take it slowly… Shaoyao, sorry, Mom got impulsive again in order to find you a dad as soon as possible.”
