novel(When I Still Have Time) Lin Wenxi Acted Hastily
| ← Ch.079 | Ch.081 → |
"Let's go to visit Nannan together, Zhao Yuan, " Lin Wenxi suddenly said.
"You went to see her a few days ago. She's going to leave the hospital very soon. Why bother visiting her again?" Zhao Yuan said with his hands laid out in a shrug.
"She's badly injured and worried about you all the time. And Wang Zhengjuan has given you... Well, anyhow, I think we'd better go to see her again, " said Lin Wenxi.
"Alright, let's go if this is what you want, " Zhao Yuan clapped his hands and said."What're we going to give her?"
"Her favorite lollipops and a white rabbit, " Lin Wenxi said with a smile.
"Do you mean a white rabbit doll?" Zhao Yuan touched Lin Wenxi's head and asked.
"Yes. You're very understanding." Lin Wenxi smiled.
"So do you want to marry me for that?" asked Zhao Yuan.
Lin Wenxi's face suddenly became somber as he said, "Stop kidding like that. I hope that next time you ask this question, you really mean to marry someone!"
"But I've asked only you this question, " said Zhao Yuan.
"Are you suggesting that you were serious just now?" Lin Wenxi asked solemnly.
Surprised by his bluntness, Zhao Yuan felt at a loss and stuttered, "When, when I ask someone again, I'll be serious."
Grief flickered in Lin Wenxi's eyes. After a moment, he asked smilingly, "Are you going to ask me that question again?"
Zhao Yuan was astonished and wondered, "Why does Lin Wenxi suddenly become so pushy? I've never thought of marrying him. I just want to treat him sincerely and I'm willing to do anything for him. But I can't marry him. Why does he ask me such a question? Anyhow, I can't say no." After some thought, he replied seriously, "When I'm determined to marry you, I'll ask you that question again."
Lin Wenxi gave him a thumbs-up and said, "Perfect logic."
"Hehe, I've learned how to debate from you." Zhao Yuan grinned and said.
When they went to see Zhou Nannan together, they met Chen Wanxin in the ward. Both of them felt grateful for her, as she had helped them a lot in soliciting donations. Before Zhou Nannan and Wang Zhengjuan came back, they chatted together cheerfully. Even Lin Wenxi did not hate her so much now.
When Wang Zhengjuan and Zhou Nannan came back, the boys were surprised to find out that Wang Zhengjuan looked even more haggard than Zhou Nannan. She usually wore her hair in a ponytail but today, she wore her hair down. Her eyes were sunken and black-ringed. She tightly grabbed Zhou Nannan's hand and let her rest on her arm. Zhou Nannan was pleased upon seeing the rabbit doll. She played with it and gradually fell asleep.
Upon seeing that, the boys said goodbye and left.
"Please rest assured. I'll take care of the things in your family." Chen Wanxin whispered to Wang Zhengjuan while gently patting her shoulder.
"Thank you. But Nannan and I have to face the reality sooner or later. I'll handle these things by myself in the future. My parents just don't want me to bring shame on them. They have to run their business, " said Wang Zhengjuan.
"That's alright. I didn't know it before, but now I know that we're members of the same big family. Mo Qian will take care of you. As to the other things, I believe that a capable person like you will handle them well. After all, Nannan has been cut off by her parents because of you since coming to this university, " said Chen Wanxin.
Wang Zhengjuan nodded and said, "Thank you for your support. This little fool is really the love of my life."
Chen Wanxin laughed and made a heart shape with her hands."Wish you two all the best." With these words, she left the ward. By that time, Lin Wenxi and Zhao Yuan had already walked out of the building.
Chen Wanxin looked at the boys through the window and wondered, "Why did the dean let Lin Wenxi off so easily?"
At night, when Chen Wanxin went into her dorm room, it was empty and quiet. She guessed that Zhang An'an and Shu Xiaoman probably had left for the library. Upon seeing Shu Xiaoman's cellphone on the bed, she smiled. She picked it up and flipped through the photos inside the cellphone.
"Wow, she hides a lot of things from me, " Chen Wanxin sneered coldly. After that, she checked Zhang An'an and Shu Xiaoman's chat history and saw the photo that they had deliberately hid from her on that day.
"Huh? An'an is not honest with me either." Chen Wanxin thought and then put the cellphone back on Shu Xiaoman's bed.
She called Luo Yang."I want to know why the dean hasn't done anything to Lin Wenxi by now. How much do you know about this boy's background?" Chen Wanxin asked in a deep voice.
"I've investigated into this thing. The administration of the university decides not to punish him because there's no precedent for this situation, " Luo Yang replied cautiously.
"Why didn't you do something to make them punish him? Now that Zhao Yuan has spent all the money, the university won't ask him to return the money. But it has to let the students know where their donations really go, " said Chen Wanxin.
"Miss Chen, don't be so hasty. In the end, things will mend." Luo Yang tried his best to remain calm, but he knew that a smart girl like Chen Wanxin would deduce that Lin Wenxi was not from an ordinary family according to all the details that she knew. He thought worriedly, "Once she finds out that Lin Wenxi's father is her father's implacable enemy Lin Ziwei, who the hell knows what she'll do."
"I don't believe it. You're lying to me!" said Chen Wanxin."You could've sent someone to divulge the secret to the students and asked them to question the university administration."
"Miss...." When Luo Yang was trying to explain further, Chen Wanxin hung up on him.
Chen Wanxin saw an incoming call from Lin Wenxi. She smiled and answered the call.
"I just want to tell you that after I get what I want, Zhao Yuan will be yours, " said Lin Wenxi.
"Do you think that I'll believe you again?" asked Chen Wanxin.
"I don't care whether you believe it or not. I only hope that you'll treat him sincerely. His life is too hard..." Lin Wenxi told Chen Wanxin all that he knew about Zhao Yuan's family.
Upon hearing Zhao Yuan's story, Chen Wanxin could not help but take pity on him. She thought, "He has been through so many difficulties over the past years and grown up to be such an outstanding young man. Only I deserve such a guy."
"Lin Wenxi, you'd better not lie to me again!" Chen Wanxin said coldly.
"There's nothing between him and me. You know that. Well, that's it." Lin Wenxi hung up the phone. Chen Wanxin called Luo Yang again."Forget about that thing I told you just now. I believe that the university has already decided how to punish Lin Wenxi. I bet that it'll be a severe punishment! By the way, remember not to let MO Capital give Zhao Yuan any top-notch award! I don't want him to become the second Zhang Dong!"
"You know that it's not my call, Miss Chen. Boss Mo thinks highly of Zhao Yuan now. Besides, once he joins Boss Mo's family, you'll be able to get closer to him. Isn't it what you want?" said Luo Yang.
"I don't want that. And I know what you're up to. Look at Zhang Dong. After being deluded into joining you, he got expelled by his university. What did you give him? What's your plan? What're you going to force him to do? Well, I don't care much about him. You can do whatever you want to him, but you can never touch Zhao Yuan, " Chen Wanxin said harshly.
"I'll tell Boss Mo what you want, but isn't it better for you to tell him that by yourself?" asked Luo Yang.
"You sneakingly touched my hand when I slept in the car the last time. Do you want me to tell him that?" Chen Wanxin sneered.
"Miss Chen, I, I'll do what you want!" Luo Yang hurriedly hung up the phone. He thought ruefully, "Sigh, she was not asleep at that time. I really shouldn't have touched her hand. Did she do this deliberately?"
Zhao Yuan and Lin Wenxi came back to Dorm No. 216.
"Yuan, you told me that you're going to give me a surprise. What's it?" asked Lin Wenxi.
"Why do you suddenly think of it?" Zhao Yuan asked mysteriously.
"You've found Yun Che, haven't you?" Lin Wenxi said smilingly.
Zhao Yuan was surprised and stuttered."How, How do you know that? Well, I'll take you to find the girl in the secluded village after finishing all the things here."
"We've already finished all the things here. Let's skip the physics lecture tomorrow. Why does the university make computer science majors study physics for a year? That's ridiculous, " said Lin Wenxi.
"Uhm... Okay, " Zhao Yuan said while wondering, "Why does Lin Wenxi act so hastily recently? He's not acting like himself."
Lin Wenxi slowly walked out of the dorm room to receive a call.
"Why don't you come back? Do you forget what I've told you?" Lin Ziwei shouted angrily.
"Dad, I still have one thing to do. I need at most three days to finish it. After that, I'll go home, " said Lin Wenxi.
"No, I don't agree. You have to return to home tomorrow!" Lin Ziwei got exasperated.
Lin Wenxi still refused to back down."If so, you can ask Uncle Hong Xuan to kidnap me." With these words, he hung up on his father.
