I Got My Bad Side Awakened After Rebirth

183. Be My Partner

Translator: Guy Gone Bad

“Master Xiao, don’t worry. Our Boss will definitely be fine.”

Outside the examination room, looking at the nervous Chu Xiao, Lei Wu couldn’t help but comforting him.

He had never gone to school but he had great confidence in their boss.

On the side, Chen Feng also echoed, “That’s right, Boss, I think this kind of exam shouldn’t be difficult for Ling Fan.”

Most importantly, with their boss and Ling Fan’s own strength and financial resources, the college entrance examination was just like for fun.

However, Chen Feng could tell that the reason why Ling Fan was participating in the college entrance examination was to have a more recognizable identity, an identity that could make him stand beside their boss, or even stand in front of their boss.

This greatly changed Chen Feng’s view about him.

Furthermore, Chen Feng had a vague guess. That is, their boss seemed to want to hand over the whole Chu Group and those branches to Ling Fan later.

If it were before, Chen Feng would have try various means to stop Chu Xiao’s crazy idea.

However, now he somewhat agreed with the boss’ decision.

Ling Fan did have the ability and strength to manage it. Most importantly, their boss had been tired all the way over those years. It seemed not bad to have someone as his support.

Even Chen Feng himself did not realize that maybe it was because of Chu Xiao’s attitude towards Ling Fan, or perhaps because his attitude towards Ling Fan had changed a lot, in short, imperceptibly, he had already regarded Ling Fan as one of them, his future superior…

“Mm, I see,” Chu Xiao nodded when he heard Lei Wu and Chen Feng’s words, but he still couldn’t control his nervousness.

Even if he knew that Ling Fan wouldn’t have any problem.

“You guys go back first. I’ll wait here for him to come out,” Chu Xiao suddenly said.

“But boss…” Chen Feng still wanted to say something, but already dragged out of the car by Lei Wu.

“Don’t you see Master Xiao already finds us an eyesore…”

…

After Chen Feng and Lei Wu left, the car finally fell silent again.

Chu Xiao turned on the music but quickly turned it off.

Then…

Then turned it on and off.

Chu Xiao certainly knew why.

However, if the nervousness was so easy to suppress, it would not be called nervousness.

Three hours was torture for Chu Xiao.

…

Finally, when he saw Ling Fan who was the first to come out, Chu Xiao’s pursed lips finally lifted up to form a smile.

Even his initially nervous heart calmed down instantly.

In fact, Chu Xiao had always been very confident in Ling Fan’s ability. What’s more, it didn’t matter whether Ling Fan was doing good or not. However, for some reason, Chu Xiao just couldn’t help feeling nervous subconsciously when Ling Fan wasn’t around.

Finally, there was no need to be so nervous anymore.

On the other side, as soon as he walked out of the room, Ling Fan saw that cool sports car…and Chu Xiao in front of it.

Instantly, a big smile appeared on Ling Fan’s face and he strode to his side.

“How do you feel?” Chu Xiao asked as he looked at Ling Fan who walked up to him.

“Not bad,” Ling Fan raised his eyebrows and said. He meant to lower his head and kiss Chu Xiao’s lips. But looking around at those curious parents around, Ling Fan could only endure it first.

“Have you thought about how to celebrate for me?” Before Chu Xiao could speak, Ling Fan asked first leisurely.

“How do you want to celebrate?” Chu Xiao asked with a smile. In fact, he did arrange a celebratory banquet for tonight, and all core members of the Chu Group would attend.

Because Ling Fan had been reviewing his lessons during this period of time, nearly half of the things of the Qing Gang were basically decided by Chu Xiao, so now he was quite familiars with businesses on both sides.

“Actually…” Suddenly, Ling Fan approached Chu Xiao and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “I’d rather you give me some practical rewards, such as…yourself.”

“Pff… then let’s go home first,” Chu Xiao said with a chuckle. At the same time, he was thinking that messing around with this guy for a few hours now shouldn’t delay the dinner at night.

“I’ll drive,” Ling Fan took the car keys from Chu Xiao’s hand and helped Chu Xiao open the door. Only after Chu Xiao sat well did he slip into the driver’s seat.

Although he just received the driver’s license last week, Ling Fan was still very confident in his driving skills.

…

“Have you considered which college you’ll apply for?” Sitting in the car, Chu Xiao finally couldn’t help asking a question he cared about.

Although he felt that his thoughts were too…uh, ‘hypocritical’, Chu Xiao still couldn’t help but care about it.

Thinking back to what Ling Fan’s head teacher had ever said at the parents’ meeting, there was no problem at all if he wanted to enter a college in the capital according to Ling Fan’s current grades and ranking.

But…

“Why do you suddenly ask this?” Ling Fan asked.

“Nothing,” Chu Xiao answered in a low voice. He couldn’t tell him that he didn’t want Ling Fan to go to a college in the capital, right?

As if seeing through Chu Xiao’s thoughts, Ling Fan suddenly smiled.

“Actually, my thoughts have never changed,” He said, curving his lips.

“Really?” For some reason, when he heard Ling Fan’s words, Chu Xiao suddenly got his heart tightened and his eyes also turned dim.

So…this little bastard still chose a college in the capital?

Chu Xiao couldn’t help thinking so in his heart.

However, the next second, Ling Fan’s answer surprised Chu Xiao.

“N College.”

“What…” When he heard Ling Fan’s answer, Chu Xiao was slightly stunned and then asked, “Why did you choose N College?”

Thought N College was not bad, Ling Fan could choose a better one, such as…The Capital University.

“Because it’s close to you and our home.” Ling Fan smiled but said seriously.

At the beginning of his rebirth, Ling Fan just wished that he would never repeat the tragedy of his last life. However, after meeting Chu Xiao, Ling Fan gradually formed a vague idea in his heart of trying to have a better identity and a stronger force.

Probably when he had this idea in his heart, Ling Fan had already made up his mind that his goal was N College.

This was a decision he had decided from the beginning and it had never changed.

When he heard Ling Fan’s answer, the corner of Chu Xiao’s mouth couldn’t help but curve.

However, in order not to let Ling Fan notice it, Chu Xiao naturally turned his head to the other side to look out of the car window.

However, it was undeniable that Chu Xiao was in a good mood right now.

And soon Chu Xiao still turned his head back subconsciously and looked at Ling Fan who was focusing on his driving.

Looking at Ling Fan’s side face, Chu Xiao suddenly lost his mind.

Now, Ling Fan’s face had already worn off his previous childishness, and grew more of steadiness on his clean-cut face. Because he was busy preparing for the college entrance examination these days, he already grew a little mustache on his chin that he had no time to shave off. However, it didn’t feel sloppy, but it added a lot of mature feelings.

So imperceptibly, this young man, his little bastard had grown from that big boy to a man…

At that thought, Chu Xiao couldn’t help but smile again.

“Why are you staring at me like that?” Feeling Chu Xiao’s gaze, Ling Fan smiled and slightly turned his face to Chu Xiao and asked.

“Focus on your driving,” Chu Xiao reminded him.

“Don’t worry, with you in the car, I’ll be extremely careful.” Ling Fan raised his eyebrows and said, after a pause, he continued, “So…you still haven’t answered my question.”

“What are you thinking when you look at me like that? Hm?”

“Nothing”, smiled, and Chu Xiao added, “I just feel that suddenly there is a feeling of ‘my son has just grown up.'”

The corner of Ling Fan’s mouth twitched when he heard Chu Xiao’s words.

Ling Fan really did not know what kind of mood to accept his label as “my son has grown up” said by Chu Xiao.

No, he couldn’t accept this label. Never!

Suddenly, Ling Fan turned the steering wheel and parked the car in the garage of a high-class club under the name of Chu Group.

“What are you doing?” Chu Xiao was surprised and also a little confused by Ling Fan’s actions.

Before Chu Xiao could finish his sentence, Ling Fan suddenly got up and pressed him under his body. At the same time, he put down the seat behind Chu Xiao.

“Your won has finally grown up?” Ling Fan muttered as he bit Chu Xiao’s ear.

“Mmm…It’s just kind of metaphor…”

“I’ll give you another chance.” He bit Chu Xiao’s mouth in a punishing manner, “Say it. What am I to you?”

As he heard Ling Fan’s question, Chu Xiao’s heart trembled involuntarily.

“You are my man, is this answer okay?” Chu Xiao glanced at Ling Fan and answered, but as if he wanted to hide his unease, Chu Xiao’s eyes quickly turned to the other side after glancing at Ling Fan.

“Be my partner,” Ling Fan suddenly held Chu Xiao’s chin, pulled his face to look into his eyes, and then said with every single word stressed.

At this moment, the expression on Ling Fan’s face had never been so serious, also, with some kind of unconcealable nervousness.

This was not the first time Ling Fan asked this question. He had asked Chu Xiao once before if he was willing to be his partner.

Unlike simple lovers, being partners meant that the two of them would spend the rest of their life together.

However, the last time he asked, Ling Fan got the answer: just wait for some time.

However, he was not angry at Chu Xiao’s hesitation.

Because he knew that it was because he cared too much about their relationship that Chu Xiao would say so.

In the last life, the relationship between Chu Xiao and Luo Li was nothing more than a cooperative relationship of interests. Because he didn’t care and didn’t think that he would have found someone he liked, which was also why Chu Xiao agreed to register with Luo Li in order to maximize the benefits.

However, this life was different. Chu Xiao attached too much importance to Ling Fan and cared too much about their relationship, so he said, “just wait for some time.”

He was worried that their marriage would have a bad influence on Ling Fan’s reputation and also his future. He was also worried that Ling Fan was too young and some day he would regret it, so he let Ling Fan wait until he became more mature and more certain.

Now, the man in front of him was mature enough, right?

Moreover, Chu Xiao no longer wanted to wait.

“Okay.”

One simple word was a lifelong promise.
