Chapter 125: Chapter 145: You Come Up and Lie Here _1

"Take good care of yourself."

After saying that, Han Wei put her arm around Han Xinran’s shoulder and walked towards the motorcycle.

Lin Chen watched Han Wei’s back, dumbfounded.

Was he being underestimated?

Upon further thought, the Tians, Leis, and Hans, being the three local old families in Pingjiang, naturally had the most astonishing power. He wasn’t a Tian; if the Han family couldn’t even deal with the Lei family, what could he do?

The news of him beating up the Tian family was naturally blocked by the Tians and not revealed to outsiders. Thus, it wasn’t surprising that Han Wei, as the pride of the Han family, underestimated him.

Han Wei started the motorcycle, and with a roar from the big engine, she rode off.

"Xinran’s Second Aunt is so cool."

Wen Qiaoqiao looked at the motorcycle’s disappearing silhouette with envy and a bit of annoyance, "I seem to be good for nothing and always get into trouble..."

Lin Chen stretched out his hand and rubbed Wen Qiaoqiao’s head, laughing, "That’s normal for an 18-year-old girl. Don’t put any pressure on yourself. Now, let’s go. I’ll take you back."

Wen Qiaoqiao’s eyes narrowed slightly, her heart feeling indescribably unsettled.

She knew that Lin Chen treated her as a younger sister, but she couldn’t help but fall into a girlish daydream, unconsciously regarding Lin Chen as her Prince Charming.

At eighteen, it’s quite annoying.

If only she were a few years older, then Lin Chen wouldn’t see her as a child anymore, right?

When Lin Chen returned home, Chu Jiaxue was still awake, leaning against a soft cushion on the floor, reading a book.

"You’re back."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "You’re still awake."

Chu Jiaxue looked at Lin Chen, her eyes gentle, with none of her former coldness: "Yes, tomorrow is the weekend, so I don’t have to go to bed so early."

Lin Chen laughed, "I smell like alcohol. I’ll take a shower first."

Lin Chen came out of the bathroom, changed into a comfortable T-shirt and shorts, and lay down on the bed: "What made you suddenly think of promoting me?"

Chu Jiaxue glanced at Lin Chen’s face, making sure he wasn’t unhappy, then quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

"As a team leader, there are many things you can’t get involved in. With the title of a deputy director, you can participate in high-level meetings. If you have any ideas or suggestions, it’ll be easier to communicate."

Lin Chen asked for confirmation, "You’re not preparing to make me the director, are you?"

Chu Jiaxue shook her head: "No plans for that, but if you’re willing, it’s not a problem."

"No!"

Lin Chen quickly waved his hand to interrupt, "You know, I’m just a salted fish. Letting me switch to a different position is one thing, but I can’t take on such responsibility. I may be great at fighting, but I don’t know how to interact with people, deal with business, drink business wine, and so on."

Chu Jiaxue pursed her lips and chuckled: "I understand, just being appointed is enough."

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "That’s good. By the way, how was today, after you ruthlessly cleaned up a group of people?"

Chu Jiaxue’s eyes shone brightly: "From the moment I took over Chuhe Group, I wanted to do this. I’ve been quietly collecting their evidence of doing bad things, all for today. Today felt...so refreshing! Never been this refreshing before!"

Lin Chen laughed, "From now on, you’ll be the domineering female CEO of Chuhe Group who’ll enjoy this kind of life."

Chu Jiaxue stared at Lin Chen with twinkling eyes, "It’s all because of you that we’ve had this change today. I know that saying thank you doesn’t mean much, but if there’s anything you need me to do, just say it."

Lin Chen stared at Chu Jiaxue’s beautiful face, a smile appearing on his lips, "Is there anything you’d like to offer?"

Chu Jiaxue’s face suddenly flushed, and her heartbeat quickened.

What did Lin Chen want?

If he asked for something excessive now, what would she do?

Numerous thoughts filled Chu Jiaxue’s mind in an instant; she wanted to clarify but was too shy to say anything, so she gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, anything!"

Lin Chen must be a gentleman and wouldn’t make any outrageous requests, right?

Lin Chen smiled slightly, "In that case, I’ll make a request."

Chu Jiaxue’s heartbeat sped up even more. She tried her best to calm her emotions, "Yes, what is it?"

Lin Chen smiled softly and patted the bed beside him, "Come up here and lie down."

Chu Jiaxue’s eyes suddenly widened, her heart shocked and panicked.

He wanted her to go to bed and lie down beside him?

What did he want to do?

Could it be that he wanted her?

Although Chu Jiaxue had never been with a man, she knew that for a normal man, being in the same room with a beautiful woman like herself day and night, watching her in pajamas, yet unable to do anything, must be a huge temptation and torment.

Could it be that Lin Chen couldn’t stand it any longer and wanted to take advantage of tonight to sleep with her?

Chu Jiaxue bit her lip, "Should I come up?"

Lin Chen’s smile grew deeper, "Yes, come up and sleep here."

Chu Jiaxue felt as if her heart was about to leap out of her chest; hot blood surged to her head, making her feel a bit dizzy.

Should she refuse?

Chu Jiaxue hesitated, but she had just agreed and suddenly refusing now would make her seem hypocritical, wouldn’t it?

He shouldn’t do anything like that, right?

Or perhaps, wait until he actually tries something before refusing?

Chu Jiaxue gathered her courage, her cheeks flushed, and stood up from the floor mattress. Then, she got on the bed and lay down next to Lin Chen.
