Oh my god! The goddess secretly gave birth to three obedient daughters for me

However, at today's gathering, Han Xuewei didn't want to talk about these uninteresting matters and said, "I think you're quite fine as you are now, you don't really need to date, you can go straight to marriage!"

As Han Xuewei spoke, she glanced at Lin Jie.

Lin Jie at that moment was stealthily listening to their conversation and was startled by Han Xuewei's remark, promptly fixing an expression of surprise and sitting upright.

Seeing Lin Jie's comical reaction, Han Xuewei managed a slight smile.

In Han Xuewei's opinion, Lin Jie was undoubtedly very fond of Qin Xiaoxu, after all, the two seemed so well-matched and got along so harmoniously.

As long as feelings developed over time, marriage wasn't out of the question.

At this, Qin Xiaoxu couldn't help but laugh, looking back at Han Xuewei, then turning to Lin Jie, she couldn't help but say, "Vivi, what are you thinking? You don't actually want me to marry this guy, do you?"

Han Xuewei just smiled, "I think it's quite good, Lin Jie is really a great person, and both his parents are very warm-hearted, plus the family conditions are good!"

"Although the age difference isn't perfect, older woman-younger man relationships are in vogue now. I think you can rest assured to entrust yourself to him; he's quite caring!"

Han Xuewei couldn't stop talking whenever the topic of Lin Jie came up, as if she was planning to settle the marriage right then and there.

Qin Xiaoxu felt overwhelmed; previously pressured by her own parents, and now Han Xuewei was on her case too, she could only reluctantly say, "Eat your steak, let's not talk about this."

Meanwhile, Han Xuewei just chuckled and lowered her head to eat.

Qin Xiaoxu, tired of eating, sat to the side and played with her phone. Some people had yet to arrive, and the gathering hadn't truly started yet.

At that moment, a man seated behind Qin Xiaoxu lifted his gaze to look over at her.

His name was Lin Zhiyuan, and he had noticed Qin Xiaoxu as soon as he arrived.

This spot was chosen deliberately by him so he could have a clearer view of Qin Xiaoxu's every move.

He was always very confident in himself and had not expected his pursuit of Qin Xiaoxu to end in failure. Qin Xiaoxu had rejected him outright in front of many people, causing him to lose all face.

The flower he couldn't acquire, he wished only to destroy!

The girlfriend beside him was a female colleague he had known before. Although the woman was not as beautiful as Qin Xiaoxu, her personality was better than Qin Xiaoxu's, not as willful, and both her figure and appearance were quite passable.

He could get along with such women, and he truly didn't understand how Qin Xiaoxu dared to reject him!

He had saved several months' worth of living expenses just to buy Qin Xiaoxu a certain brand's bracelet, a piece that was worth tens of thousands!

So now, he no longer harbored admiration for Qin Xiaoxu, mostly just jealousy and resentment.

He was very confident about his current self, after all, how many could land such a good job just after graduating from college?

Stable job, high salary, and he even had a girlfriend now - he might not be considered successful, but at least his life was prosperous and stable.

If Qin Xiaoxu had followed him back then, she could have had a decent life as well.

Yet, what he hadn't expected was for Qin Xiaoxu to reject him outright.

What he wouldn't expect even more was that Qin Xiaoxu never took him seriously at all.

For her, Lin Zhiyuan's salary of tens of thousands was simply not enough. Qin Xiaoxu was a true heiress.

Fortunately, Qin Xiaoxu had not revealed her family's wealth, otherwise Lin Zhiyuan wouldn't have given up pursuing her so easily.

People like him, always looking to climb the social ladder, probably see a rich wife as the ultimate goal. The girlfriend he currently has is merely a cure for loneliness.

At this moment, Lin Zhiyuan was staring intently at Qin Xiaoxu, then glanced at his own girlfriend.

To be honest, just sitting there, Qin Xiaoxu's demeanor was far superior to that of his current girlfriend.

Though his girlfriend had a decent body and face, she was only average. Qin Xiaoxu, on the other hand, was delicately nurtured from a young age, and there was no comparison in terms of refinement and poise.

Feeling restless, he stood up and said, "I'm going to have a word with an old classmate. Wait here for me, and I'll come and join you in a bit!"

As Lin Zhiyuan spoke, the girl nodded her head.

She didn't have the slightest doubt about Lin Zhiyuan, as he had a way with words that was particularly reassuring. During the few months they had been together, she hadn't noticed anything amiss.

So she was very confident in Lin Zhiyuan.

Lin Zhiyuan then approached Qin Xiaoxu, while Li Lanxue and Shen Wenjun also walked towards them.

Li Lanxue noticed Lin Zhiyuan and was somewhat surprised.

She recognized this classmate who seemed to have pursued Qin Xiaoxu before, but she wasn't very familiar with Lin Zhiyuan, so she didn't greet him.

She just walked to the opposite side of Han Xuewei's group. After all, Han Xuewei was the protagonist of the drama unfolding before her, and she couldn't miss any detail.

Just then, Lin Zhiyuan directly sat down in front of Qin Xiaoxu.

He immediately slapped Qin Xiaoxu on the back, causing her to turn her head sharply, clearly startled by the gesture.

Lin Zhiyuan's face was all too familiar to her, but being so close now made her feel a bit flustered. She almost choked on her red wine and, coughing, looked at Lin Zhiyuan.

Lin Jie reacted very quickly, immediately protecting Qin Xiaoxu and pulling out a tissue to wipe the corners of her mouth and the wine stains on her dress.

He wiped everything off neatly and proficiently, his actions neither awkward nor intrusive.

Lin Zhiyuan watched this scene unfold with some surprise, his gaze settling on Lin Jie, sizing him up. Meanwhile, Lin Jie snorted coldly and said, "I am Qin Xiaoxu's boyfriend. Do you have a problem with that? You've been staring at us since you came in!"

Reminded by these words, Lin Zhiyuan realized his expression had been somewhat presumptuous a moment earlier, and he smiled awkwardly and said, "That's not what I meant..."

"I'm Qin Xiaoxu's classmate. I just came over to say hello!"

Lin Jie had been listening in on Qin Xiaoxu and Han Xuewei's whispers, so he was well aware of what the man before him had done to elicit such aversion from Qin Xiaoxu, which now filled him with disgust.

He looked alright, but his character was truly reprehensible.

At this moment, Qin Xiaoxu spoke up, "Is there something you needed from me?"

Hearing her words, his face lit up with a joyous expression, and he said somewhat awkwardly, "Qin Xiaoxu, I've really reflected on what happened before. It was my fault, and I'm apologizing to you. I just hope you can forgive me!"

Expecting something serious, Qin Xiaoxu replied promptly, "It doesn't matter, I have already forgotten about it. You don't need to dwell on it!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiyuan suddenly became excited and said, "Then, may I add your contact information again?"

Lin Zhiyuan's expression was one of earnest pleading. Witnessing this,

both Lin Jie and Han Xuewei were a bit surprised, while Qin Xiaoxu found herself in an awkward position and could only say, "My contact information is in the class group. You can add me there."
