Chapter 608: Chapter 580: The Woman’s Battle

Of course, Li Chen would never let Lin Xiaoxiao slip.

At least not in front of him, even if she wanted to fall, it would be difficult.

In the moment Lin Xiaoxiao’s feet slipped and she was about to fall, Li Chen swiftly moved sideways to get behind her, one hand still holding the suitcase, while his other arm directly embraced her into his arms.

"Are you okay?" Looking at Lin Xiaoxiao, who was still somewhat shaken, Li Chen couldn’t help but laugh as he spoke.

"I’m fine, I’m fine..." Lin Xiaoxiao blushed as she stood up from Li Chen’s embrace, mindful of the fact they were in the girls’ dormitory. If someone else came in and saw this scene, who knew what they would think.

"Uh, just put it here," Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the suitcase in Li Chen’s hand and changed the subject.

Although Lin Xiaoxiao always acted quite boldly, she was actually quite shy when it really came to it.

"Hmm, okay," Li Chen nodded and smiled, understanding girls’ thoughts somewhat, though not fully.

"Brother-in-law, let’s go out for a walk," Lin Xiaoxiao said hurriedly, looking around and sensing that the atmosphere was a bit off.

Seeing Li Chen nod, Lin Xiaoxiao quickly led him out of the girls’ dormitory.

As they left, a few girls caught a glimpse of Li Chen unintentionally.

Seeing a man in the girls’ dormitory startled many of them at first, but soon they regained composure and went about their business as if nothing unusual had happened.

However, the glances of the girls still lingered on Li Chen, somewhat perceptibly.

They seemed curious about where this guy had come from.

"Brother-in-law, the school clothing store has been doing really well lately. A lot of students have been coming to me asking if they can get a discount," Lin Xiaoxiao told Li Chen about her recent school life, though her tone was a bit strange.

It seemed like a diversion from the previous topic, and deep down, Lin Xiaoxiao had some different thoughts about Li Chen. However, they were usually expressed jokingly; when it came to being serious, she was actually a bit scared.

"Hmm," Li Chen stared straight ahead, his expression also a bit odd. But since Lin Xiaoxiao liked to play dumb, he played along.

He was still puzzled about Lin Yi and Wang Qianqian’s situation, and now if Lin Xiaoxiao intervened, he seriously doubted whether Lin Yi might just come at night with a knife to cut him.

Thinking of Lin Yi, with a murderous face, carrying a kitchen knife into the room made Li Chen shiver a bit.

"It’s still better to be cautious lately," Li Chen silently mused to himself.

"But... this is the school, she can’t see it anyway," suddenly, Li Chen laughed again.

"Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law!" When Li Chen returned to his senses, he found Lin Xiaoxiao looking at him with a perplexed expression: "Brother-in-law, what were you thinking about just now? I called you several times and you didn’t respond."

"It’s nothing, it’s nothing!" Li Chen quickly waved his hand.

"But, if it’s nothing, why do you look so lecherous?"

Li Chen’s face darkened.

As Li Chen and Lin Xiaoxiao were bickering, a beautiful woman approached them.

Compared to the youthful students, this woman appeared more mature and much more attractive.

The moment he saw the beautiful woman, Li Chen couldn’t help but extend his hand in greeting: "Beautiful lady, what a coincidence!"

Yang Xin raised her head and looked at Li Chen, then rolled her eyes and said, "Not a coincidence!"

"Hello, Teacher Yang," Lin Xiaoxiao greeted Yang Xin with a laugh, but within that smile, Yang Xin detected a trace of hostility.

Teacher Yang?

That address jumped a generation in terms of seniority, and since Li Chen was Lin Xiaoxiao’s brother-in-law, was there an ulterior meaning to calling her ’Teacher’?

Yang Xin glanced at Lin Xiaoxiao and, though she had been about to leave, suddenly she didn’t want to go anymore.

"Hello there, Xiaoxiao," Yang Xin said with a rare smile as she approached Li Chen, "Since we’ve bumped into each other, why don’t we walk together?"

Li Chen was somewhat speechless.

"Didn’t you just say it was not a coincidence?"

Of course, Li Chen dared not voice that thought, but no matter how he looked at it, the glances between Lin Xiaoxiao and Yang Xin appeared smiley, yet something seemed off...

"Xiaoxiao, I heard you’ve opened a clothing store at school, I’ve seen it, it’s quite good!" Yang Xin said with a smile.

But then her tone changed immediately, "However, you’re still a student, so maybe don’t spend too much effort on other things for now. Focusing on your studies is most important."

"Yes!" Lin Xiaoxiao nodded, "I think Teacher Yang is right. However, I’m about to graduate and will need to enter society soon, so I’m getting acquainted with it now. After all, I can’t compare to someone with rich societal experience like Teacher Yang."

Lin Xiaoxiao emphasized the word "senior" particularly heavily.

Between the two women, there seemed to be a hint of friction that even Li Chen could sense.

Li Chen: "..."

Just then, a man suddenly walked by, and upon seeing Yang Xin and Lin Xiaoxiao, he showed a look of surprise.

"Top-notch! Both of them... it’s been a long time since I’ve met such high-quality!" Fang Yong’s eyes sparkled as he looked at the two women.

As for Li Chen, he was completely ignored.

As a wealthy second-generation, Fang Yong always abided by just one belief.

With the right excavator, there’s no corner too difficult to dig!

"Hello, beautiful, my name is Fang Yong!" Fang Yong boldly introduced himself as he approached Lin Xiaoxiao.

Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at this suddenly appearing guy and said nothing.

Li Chen watched the sudden appearance of this man with some amusement, and even felt a bit relieved; if this guy hadn’t shown up, he might have had to continue enduring the awkward situation.

"Hey, I’m saying," Li Chen gestured towards Fang Yong with a nod of his chin, "I don’t mind you poaching, but doing it right in front of other people, isn’t that a bit sneaky?"

"She’s your girlfriend?" Fang Yong looked at Li Chen in surprise.

"Of course!" Li Chen stretched out his hand, wrapped his arm around Lin Xiaoxiao and declared.

Lin Xiaoxiao blushed but didn’t say anything, even feeling somewhat pleased inside.

Fang Yong nodded, then looked at Yang Xin: "Hello there, beautiful, as I already introduced myself, really, I’m interested in you. I have to say, the moment I saw you, I was deeply attracted, so, I’d like to invite you for a meal."

Damn, running into an old hand at this! Li Chen cursed inwardly.
