Chapter 416: Chapter 410: You’re Not Without Feelings Either

She clutched Chen Jiayan’s hand and said, "I’m happy as long as you come, Xiao Yan, don’t put it upon yourself to be responsible for us. Besides, you’ve already helped so much over the years, one cannot be too insatiable."

He meant well, but they couldn’t keep taking advantage of his kindness.

Chen Jiayan sighed, "Aunt Xu..."

The director turned to Xie Baola, "Child, I still don’t know your name."

Xie Baola said, "Baola, Xie Baola."

"Baola, you and Jiayan have many days ahead of you, you have to persuade him, he can’t always be wasting money like this. We’re not lacking anything now."

Xie Baola curved her lips into a smile, "Ah, he’s not my boyfriend yet. I have no relation to him, so I can’t persuade him. You should take the money instead."

"Ah? Then you two..."

The director was stunned for several seconds.

She could tell there was something unusual between the two of them.

Chen Jiayan was bringing a girl here for the first time; at least in his eyes, Xie Baola was different.

Xie Baola glanced at Chen Jiayan, "Also, I have to be Chen Jiayan’s girlfriend before I can persuade him, right?"

She had grown up with a silver spoon in her mouth, always wearing the best, and had gone abroad to study in her early twenties.

She had never suffered any hardships in life.

But Xie Baola had always known that there were poor places and poor people in the world.

Chen Jiayan came from a humble background, but he had broken free from that circle and become a different person.

Xie Baola wondered if Chen Jiayan had also waited for someone’s help when he was young?

At that time, any bit of warmth must have been precious, right?

She wouldn’t persuade Chen Jiayan.

The director let out a long sigh and insisted, "Either way, I will not accept this money. Xiao Yan, take it back."

Chen Jiayan still ended up stuffing the red envelope into the mailbox at the orphanage entrance.

After the car pulled away, he stopped to send a message to the director before starting the car again.

Xie Baola: "Doesn’t the director know you’ve made something of yourself over the years and started your own company, making a lot of money?"

Chen Jiayan: "I didn’t mention any of that."

"You’re a good person."

"Is this what makes someone a good person?"

Chen Jiayan laughed, but the laughter didn’t reach his eyes.

His face was a mask of cool detachment.

Xie Baola raised her lips in a smile, "He’s the kind of person I like."

Chen Jiayan said nothing.

After a while, he asked, "Where’s your home?"

Xie Baola raised an eyebrow, "You want to go to my house? Aren’t you afraid I’ll drag you back to my place and keep you there?"

"Where is it?"

Chen Jiayan asked patiently once more.

Xie Baola clicked her tongue and gave him the address.

Chen Jiayan drove to the Xie family’s place but didn’t enter through the villa’s gates.

"We’re at your house."

Chen Jiayan unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car.

Xie Baola hurriedly pushed open the door and followed, grabbing Chen Jiayan’s hand, "Did you drive me out just to send me back?"

She laughed in exasperation.

So, this was his intention.

Chen Jiayan shrugged off her hand, "It’s cold, go home. I have to leave too."

Xie Baola’s hand fell back to her side, "You can’t hail a taxi around here and have to walk a long distance. Are you really leaving just like that?"

"It’s fine."

He really seemed indifferent.

Xie Baola folded her arms, revealing a sharpness in her eyes, "It may be fine for you, but it is not for me."

Chen Jiayan looked at her.

His long, black eyelashes were covered with snowflakes.

They fluttered slightly, blurring his vision.

Before Chen Jiayan had a chance to wipe them away, Xie Baola had already reached out and removed the snowflake from his lashes.

Her fingers were ice-cold, creating a different sensation when they touched his skin.

Chen Jiayan paused and took a step back, "Miss Xie, as you’ve seen, there are many things not suitable about us."

Xie Baola watched him create distance and took a step forward herself.

Since he was unwilling to move forward, she would close the gap between them.

"All it takes is liking each other, besides, suitability is not for you to decide. Furthermore, I think we are perfectly suitable - racing, bungee jumping, wingsuit flying..."

Xie Baola grabbed his coat, stood on her toes, and a bright and radiant face closed in on him.

"I’m afraid I can’t find anyone more suitable for me than you can find anyone more suitable for you."

She was bold and blatant with her intentions.

Chen Jiayan smirked, almost laughing.

The snowflakes made his eyes appear colder, as if empty of all emotion.

"You see, I come from an orphanage; I can’t compare with Miss Xie’s family background."

"No one can choose their birth; it’s your future path that you determine for yourself. Since I’ve had the chance to meet you, it must be fate. Family background is all nonsense. Even if you had no money today, I, Xie Baola, wouldn’t care. You can’t reject me just because my family background is better than yours, can you?"

Xie Baola didn’t wait for him to speak and accused, "Can I understand this as you being spiteful towards the rich?"

Chen Jiayan: "..."

He truly wasn’t.

But was that the point?

Xie Baola tilted her head, scoffing, "Besides, Old Xie’s money isn’t my money. If you see me differently because my family is wealthier than yours, and treat our relationship differently, is that fair?"

Chen Jiayan looked at her aggressive demeanor with an indescribable feeling, "For now, we are just friends."

What could he think of her?

How could he view their relationship?

Xie Baola narrowed her eyes, "You’re successful in your career now, and I’m just a freeloader. Family background is just an excuse to deal with me, right? Chen Jiayan, are you truly not attracted to me, or what?"

Chen Jiayan’s gaze deepened, seemingly harboring numerous emotions, yet upon closer inspection, they held none.

Xie Baola raised her hand to his shoulder, tipping on her toes and suddenly leaning towards him.

Just as their lips were about to touch, Chen Jiayan pulled her hand away, gripping her wrist, his fingers applying a slight force.

Xie Baola felt his uncommon strength, raised an eyebrow at him, her eyes defiant and triumphant.

"You do have feelings too."

In his life, Chen Jiayan had really never met a woman like this.

Like a rose with thorns, stunning and seductive, sharp yet carefree.

As she leaned towards him, she withdrew her spikes, exuding a sense of inevitable conquest.

A very ambitious wild woman.

She burst into his tranquil life like a blinding light.

For such a forceful presence, he couldn’t honestly say he felt nothing.

Chen Jiayan’s heart fluttered slightly, yet his face remained calm and collected, "Anyone would have feelings."

Xie Baola didn’t want to hear platitudes, "Don’t give me that noble talk. The charm of Xie Paula can’t be that weak. If after chasing you for so long I didn’t elicit any feelings, I wouldn’t call myself Xie Baola."

Chen Jiayan was rather helpless, "What if I do have feelings..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xie Baola interjected, "Then I’ll keep chasing you until you’re mine."

After persisting for so long, I couldn’t possibly give up now, could I?
