Chapter 325 — The Falcon

It seemed his plan would need some adjustment. If he wanted to win Lin Yanhe over, he would have to spend some real money. Xu Qianxing began calculating in his mind how to revise his approach.

"Hello?" Lin Yanhe answered the call.

"Zhiyun, where are you?" Yang Juehuan's voice came through the phone, and Lin Yanhe's heart

leapt with joy.

"I'm in the Economics and Management building, I just finished class," Lin Yanhe said.

"Oh? Perfect timing then—let's go grab a bite together. I still have a class tonight." Yang

Ming said after hearing this.

"Sure!" Lin Yanhe agreed without a second thought. "Then come wait for me downstairs at the Economics and Management building—I'll be right down."

"All right, see you in a bit." With that, Yang Yanzhou hung up.

"Who was that?" Xu Qianxing asked, feigning casualness. He wanted to pursue Lin Yanhe, so naturally he needed to talk with her about more of life's little things; discussing only work would never build a friendship. And without friendship, how could love ever take root?

"Chairman Xu, I can't have dinner with you after all—someone's asked me out." Naturally, Lin Yanhe did not want to discuss her personal affairs with Xu Qianxing in any detail.

"Oh? A friend of yours? Perfect, let's all eat together." Xu Qianxing had not considered that the caller might be Lin Yanhe's boyfriend; he assumed it was a roommate or a fellow townsman.

"No need, Chairman Xu. We'll just go by ourselves." Lin Yanhe shook her head in

refusal.

Xu Qianxing assumed Lin Yanhe was simply being shy, so he said, "It's no trouble—my treat. Your friend is my friend too. Who knows, we might talk it over and the two of you could perform together at the arts festival."

Those words struck right at Lin Yanhe's heart. Earlier, when Xu Qianxing said she could find a partner to perform with her at the arts festival, Lin Yanhe had thought of Yang Ce—if Yang Ce could share the stage with her, she surely would not be nervous.

So when Xu Qianxing brought up discussing the arts festival performance together, Lin Yanhe was tempted. But then she thought: Yang Ce had only just returned, and she had not even had her fill of being with him. Now that she had finally gotten a chance to be alone with him, how could she bear to have an outsider at her side?

Gentle as she was, never competing or jealous, that did not mean she disliked being alone with Yan. Even the most generous girl could not be completely selfless—even Chen Shutang, who always selflessly let Lin Yanhe and Zhou Yanning be with Yan first, actually hoped in her heart that she herself could be the one with Yan.
