After being rejected by the school beauty, he picked up a treasure girl

Xue Yang pursed his lips and said, "Uncle, I'm sorry."

"Just an apology?" Lin Zhenhai asked.

However, in his heart, he was not that angry anymore.

At the very least, Xue Yang could admit his mistake in time instead of blaming others, right?
This is already very valuable.

"..."

In the meeting, when it comes to decision-making, Xue Yang, who is usually eloquent, was choked up on this matter.

Because this matter was indeed his fault.

"Since this is the first time and Xiaoxi didn't suffer any substantial harm, I forgive you. However, there won't be a next time."

"Thank you uncle."

After hanging up the phone with Xue Yang, Lin Zhenhai's phone rang again.

This time it was Uncle Liu who called.

It's easy to guess why he called.

Lin Zhenhai was very curious about what he would say.

"Chairman, what happened today was my fault and has nothing to do with Master Xue."

As soon as the call was connected, Uncle Liu immediately admitted his mistake.

He is the eldest lady's bodyguard and is primarily responsible for her safety.

So, even if someone should be blamed, it should be him.

But he was not sure whether the chairman would use this matter to embarrass Young Master Xue.

The reason why I told Xue Yang that I would see the chairman tomorrow was because I wanted to put his mind at ease first.

But Uncle Liu didn't expect that Xue Yang had already called Lin Zhenhai before him.

"You put Xiaoxi in danger with just one word of dereliction of duty, Lao Liu, I have always believed in you."

Lin Zhenhai absolutely believes in Uncle Liu's character.

However, he dared to take all the responsibility on himself, which seemed to indicate that he had a good opinion of Xue Yang.

Both of them took the blame on themselves.

Lin Zhenhai was amused for a moment.

"Chairman, I will definitely protect the young lady more wholeheartedly in the future."

Uncle Liu's family was able to gain a foothold in the village and become prominent figures thanks to Lin Zhenhai.

He himself also liked Lin Xi and always treated her as his daughter.

Protecting her is not only a responsibility, but more importantly, he wants to watch it personally to ensure Lin Xi's safety. However, he did not expect that something like this would happen tonight.

Uncle Liu really felt guilty.

"Take good care of Xiaoxi. She is my only daughter."

"I understand. Chairman, please rest assured that this incident will not happen again."

"Ah."

As soon as Uncle Liu hung up the phone, Lin Zhenhai's phone rang again.

"Dad~"

Listening to his daughter's soft and gentle voice, Lin Zhenhai's brows relaxed.

Even after hearing Xue Yang and Lao Liu's solemn assurances, he still couldn't feel truly at ease.

When I heard Lin Xi's voice at this moment, I finally felt relieved.

"Why aren't you asleep yet so late?" He raised his voice deliberately.

"I miss you so much that I can't sleep~ Dad, do you miss me?"

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Doesn’t he understand this daughter?
It’s okay. I definitely won’t call him on my own initiative.

And at this late hour.

You don't have to think about what it is because of.

Lin Xi smiled happily: "Hehe~ Daddy still understands me~" "How could I not know your little thoughts?"

"Dad, please don't blame Xue Yang and Uncle Liu for what happened today, okay? I wasn't hurt either. I beat up all the bad guys. I'm really good."

Lin Zhenhai is no longer angry.

However, he still needs to have some attitude towards this matter.

"You just got engaged to Xue Yang and this happened. He's not with you yet. Can't I blame him? I did this all for you."

"Oh, Dad, you'll make Xue Yang and Uncle Liu nervous in the future. Besides, if we really want to blame someone, we can only blame you for having such a beautiful daughter. As soon as you go out, you'll attract everyone's attention."

Lin Zhenhai snorted: "Humph, you are blaming me."

Lin Xi picked up the pillow and squeezed it hard:
"Isn't it? Anyway, if you blame them, I will never go out again and suffocate myself to death."

"Well, now that my precious daughter has spoken, if I still insist on not giving in, I will be the bad guy. Dad is just worried about you."

Lin Xi smiled sweetly: "I know, Dad, I won't let anything happen to me, don't worry."

"Hmph, remember what you said."

After hanging up the phone with his father, Lin Xi did not go back to sleep, but sat on the bed in a daze.

She always slept uneasily when Xue Yang was not around.

But I've gotten used to it.

Sometimes, when she really couldn't wait for Xue Yang, she would slowly fall asleep on her own.

"why are not you sleeping?"

When Xue Yang came back, he saw Lin Xi sitting on the bed in a daze.

"Why do you talk like my dad?" Lin Xi pouted.

Xue Yang was slightly startled, and sat down next to Lin Xi: "Did you call your uncle?"

Lin Xi climbed onto Xue Yang's shoulders with both hands and said coquettishly:

"Yes. I know you feel bad for not protecting me, but I've encountered similar things since I was a child. If you really want to blame someone, just blame my dad for giving birth to me so beautiful. Otherwise, it wouldn't be like this."

"Are you bragging about how beautiful you are?"

Lin Xi blinked: "Then am I not beautiful?"

"Of course. Very beautiful..."

The following words were drowned out by a chorus of whimpering sounds.

……

The next day, the two woke up early.

After Lin Xi woke up, she lazily rested her head on Xue Yang's arms, not wanting to get up at all.

"Time flies. Summer vacation is over and it's time to get up early every day again."

"University courses are not as intensive as high school courses. Sometimes you may not have classes in the morning, so you can sleep a little longer."

"Aren't you going to class?"

"I don't have classes this morning..."

"You want to go to the company, right? Go ahead, and make good money so that you can support me, okay? My fortune is all thanks to you. We agreed at the beginning that my fortune would exceed Si Wen's. Now Si Wen's company is doing better and better, but I only have one novel, which was adapted into a comic. Although it's also pretty good, it's still far behind Si Wen's. So, you have to work hard." Lin Xi's expression was quite earnest.

Compared with her beautiful appearance, she looks a little silly and funny.

Xue Yang couldn't help but laugh out loud, knowing that Lin Xi was encouraging him in disguise.

His girl was always so considerate.

Every time I can keenly sense what he is thinking.

Seeing Xue Yang didn't say anything, Lin Xi pinched his cheek:

"Hey, don't be so sad, I can take care of myself, don't treat me like a vase, okay? I'm very capable."

"Indeed, my girl is very powerful. Now, few people should dare to take advantage of you."

"Of course." Lin Xi looked proud.
