Chapter 105: Chapter 125: If He Doesn’t Knock Me Down, I’ll Knock Him Down _1

"Is the Tian Family really that powerful?"

Lin Chen couldn’t help but ask when he heard this.

Gu Yuexi explained, "In every city, there are constantly new entrepreneurs, businessmen, and other wealthy people emerging. They integrate into the city’s upper class and become the new elites. But in every place, there are always a few local powers that have been entrenched for a long time. They have deep roots, and their influence permeates all industries, even the official channels. Their power is astonishing."

Lin Chen suddenly understood, "The Tian Family is one of Pingjiang’s entrenched powers?"

Gu Yuexi nodded, "Yes, the Tian Family is a cultivator family that has been rooted in Pingjiang for at least 50 years. In these 50 years, the Tian Family’s business has spread across all industries, and their influence extends to all major official departments. Pingjiang’s officials have come and gone, but the Tian Family’s power remains unaffected. They are the true local tyrants."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "So does that mean the Tian Family is unrivaled and can do whatever they want?"

"Almost, but not quite."

Gu Yuexi corrected, "The cultivator families in Pingjiang are not limited to the Tian Family. In addition to them, the Han Family and Lei Family are on par with the Tian Family. They are collectively known as the Three Great Families of Pingjiang."

Gu Yuexi worriedly looked at Ye Wen, "Wenwen, will the second young master of the Tian Family cause you any trouble?"

Ye Wen appeared worried, "I’m leaving, and I won’t see him again, so I should be fine, right?"

Gu Yuexi asked, "What do you plan to do about your boyfriend’s attitude?"

Ye Wen gritted her teeth, "I’ll talk to him when I get back. If he doesn’t think he’s wrong, then we’ll break up!"

Lin Chen didn’t comment on Ye Wen’s situation. For one, they weren’t close, and two, it was up to the individual’s own attitude in such matters. Persuasion from outsiders is useless.

You might earnestly advise someone to break up now, but once they get back together and smooth things over with just a few words, you’ll end up pleasing no one.

Before the meal was over, Ye Wen received a phone call from her boyfriend, who soon arrived in a car to pick her up.

"Do you think they will break up?"

Lin Chen shook his head, "No."

Gu Yuexi smiled, "Why do you say that?"

Lin Chen chuckled, "Ye Wen is quite satisfied with her current living situation. Although she is complaining, deep down, she has already forgiven her boyfriend. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have left as soon as she got the call, without even showing a little temper."

Gu Yuexi said in surprise, "You really understand women."

Lin Chen shook his head, "It’s not that I understand women, I just understand human nature."

Gu Yuexi laughed, "Alright, a man chooses his own path, whether it’s bitter or sweet, they have to bear it themselves... Are you done eating? Let’s go watch a movie."

"Okay!"

In the movie theater, Gu Yuexi leaned her entire body on Lin Chen’s shoulder and actively held his hand, their fingers intertwined.

"Brother, should I consider myself your girlfriend now?"

As Lin Chen turned his head to answer, Gu Yuexi’s right hand gently covered his mouth.

"If you don’t say anything, I’ll take that as your agreement."

Lin Chen couldn’t help but laugh at Gu Yuexi’s words, his heart touched at the same time.

She was probably afraid that he would deny it, or mention something about an arranged marriage or a fiancée, so she simply didn’t allow him to answer and directly "confirmed" the relationship.

"Whatever you think, I am determined to be with you. I chose you, and no matter what happens in the future, I accept it."

Lin Chen took Gu Yuexi’s hand, kissed it and said, "Okay."

Gu Yuexi’s eyes instantly shone with a captivating brilliance. She turned around and hugged Lin Chen’s neck, actively offering a passionate kiss.

Lin Chen didn’t refuse.

Since Gu Yuexi already said so much, there was no point in being hesitant any longer.

As for the future, there was no need to worry for now - they should at least enjoy the present.

The spacious and high-backed double-seat couple chairs provided a private space for them to get intimate. The two kissed passionately in silence. Lin Chen’s hand, which had originally been holding Gu Yuexi’s slender waist, unknowingly began to move upwards.

Gu Yuexi’s heart raced like thunder, her face flushed, and her whole body seemed to be on fire. But she didn’t resist at all.

She wasn’t a teenage girl anymore; she was already 24!

Since it was a man she liked, and she was determined to be with him, why be coy?

Sooner or later, wouldn’t she belong to him?

What’s more, Lin Chen had said that in three months, whether he would still be in Pingjiang was a question. She had to capture Lin Chen as soon as possible and completely tie him down. Otherwise, if they remained innocent and he disappeared, what would she do?

This man was no ordinary person; his willpower was as strong as steel. He wouldn’t be easily swayed by her simple words. Hadn’t he refused her so resolutely before?

If she wanted to conquer him, she had to be serious!

Gu Yuexi was the kind of person who, once she made up her mind, would actively work towards her goal and achieve it, rather than hesitating like other women.

If Lin Chen wouldn’t push her down, then she would push Lin Chen down!

She would find an excuse to go to a hotel tonight!

The movie was especially long. When the two left the theater, it was already 11:30 in the evening.

Lin Chen checked the time and smiled, "Let’s go, I’ll take you home."

Gu Yuexi held onto Lin Chen’s arm and pursed her lips, "But I don’t want to go back yet..."
