Chapter 696: Chapter 696: Living Together

Lin Chen felt very confused by Xia Wanxin’s sudden and inexplicable approach, her perplexing words, and her swift departure.

But what confused Lin Chen even more followed shortly after.

Soon after Xia Wanxin left, she returned with her bodyguards to the outside of Lin Chen’s courtyard, bringing with her many large and small bags of luggage.

"Junior Sister Xia, what are you doing?"

Lin Chen looked at all the belongings Xia Wanxin had brought, utterly baffled, not understanding what she intended to do.

"What am I doing? What else can I do, I’m moving in to live with you!"

Xia Wanxin’s gaze fell on Qiu Ya, who was standing next to Lin Chen, as she spoke with determination.

Despite having been at Formation Sect with Lin Chen for a year, she had not had the chance to get close to him, yet there’s Qiu Ya, who after only a few encounters with Lin Chen, had already moved into his courtyard.

After all, Xia Wanxin was a princess of a country, and her relationship with Lin Chen was even closer.

If anyone should move in to live with Lin Chen, it should be her first.

Therefore, Xia Wanxin immediately went back to her own residence and moved all her daily necessities over.

"Moving in to live with me? Why?"

Lin Chen looked at Xia Wanxin, even more puzzled.

No reason at all, why would Xia Wanxin suddenly do such a thing?

Could it be because she was afraid of troublemakers? But wouldn’t living with him only make it easier for trouble to find its way to her?

At this moment, although Lin Chen did not understand the true thoughts in Xia Wanxin’s heart, Qiu Ya saw right through her.

She naturally recognized the woman before her, as Xia Wanxin had the same reputation as Lin Chen during the recruitment trials for being someone you wouldn’t want to mess with.

It seemed that she too had developed feelings for Lin Chen, so seeing herself living with Lin Chen, Xia Wanxin got jealous.

Thus, Xia Wanxin felt aggrieved, which was why she also wanted to move in.

Regarding such matters, Qiu Ya was quite open-minded.

Xia Wanxin was above her in both status and Cultivation Talent, so Qiu Ya had never thought about having Lin Chen all to herself.

She never believed that Lin Chen belonged to her alone, as long as Lin Chen was good to her, she could accept him being with someone else.

With this in mind, Qiu Ya’s cheeks flushed with embarrassment.

At that moment, Lin Chen, looking at the two women before him, finally understood.

As for Xia Wanxin, Lin Chen never harbored any inappropriate thoughts; he merely saw her as a good friend.

However, now that Xia Wanxin had misunderstood him, Lin Chen did not want her relationship with Qiu Ya to become irreparable, so he immediately started to explain how Qiu Ya was targeted to get to him.

Xia Wanxin was not unreasonable, and her cheeks flushed with embarrassment after listening to Lin Chen’s explanation.

It turned out it was all a misunderstanding; there was nothing between Lin Chen and Qiu Ya. She herself had spoken those words just moments ago, almost akin to a bold confession...

"So that’s how it is, it seems I’ve misunderstood you,"

"Since you’ve explained it so earnestly, I forgive you!"

Xia Wanxin, having heard Lin Chen’s explanation, immediately felt at ease.

Confronted with Xia Wanxin’s incomprehensible words once more, Lin Chen couldn’t help but feel a mixture of wanting to laugh and cry. What did she mean "forgive him"? It was as if he had committed some kind of heinous crime.

"Alright, now that everything is clear, can you ask them to stop moving stuff in here?"

Lin Chen’s gaze fell on Xia Wanxin’s guards. He pointed towards them, gesturing for Xia Wanxin to have them stop.

Her cheeks reddening at Lin Chen’s words, Xia Wanxin was at a loss. However, she’d already made such a bold move to show her love, how could she back down now?

This was a golden opportunity to get closer to Lin Chen, so she walked over to his side, putting on a very aggrieved expression.

"Now that I’ve already moved in, do you have the heart to ask me to move out?"

"You know as well as I do, those guys will stop at nothing to target the people close to you. Last time it was Miss Qiu Ya, next time it might be me."

"Do you really have the heart to let me live outside on my own?"

"Besides, your courtyard is big enough; it won’t be a problem to move me in."

Xia Wanxin complained to Lin Chen with a delicate and soft demeanor.

As she did this, Xia Wanxin chuckled inwardly. This was exactly the type of girl Lin Chen liked, wasn’t it? She could play that part too.

Moreover, despite Lin Chen’s many explanations, and even though nothing had happened between him and Qiu Ya, and it seemed Lin Chen held no such thoughts,

who could know what Qiu Ya was thinking? After all, when a man and woman are alone together for a long time, accidents can happen.

So, Xia Wanxin would absolutely not allow Qiu Ya to have her way. If she stayed around long enough, perhaps Lin Chen would develop feelings for her.

Faced with Xia Wanxin’s act of feigned frailty, Lin Chen almost broke out in goosebumps; the Xia Wanxin he knew was not like this at all.

In the end, Lin Chen still couldn’t resist Xia Wanxin’s feigned vulnerability and agreed to let her move into the courtyard.

Watching Lin Chen and Xia Wanxin, Qiu Ya couldn’t help thinking that these two really were a perfect match for each other; they looked quite compatible.

Xia Wanxin’s beauty and figure surpassed her own, and with her powerful background and high cultivation talent, she was beyond comparison with Qiu Ya.

Lin Chen seemed to dote on Xia Wanxin, and the latter appeared to be quite displeased with her.

This made Qiu Ya worry that living alongside Xia Wanxin in the future might be challenging, as Xia Wanxin might find ways to target her.

However, once the three began living together, Qiu Ya found her worries were unnecessary.

Both Lin Chen and Xia Wanxin were almost always in seclusion, cultivating, leaving Xia Wanxin with no time to trouble her.

Moreover, Qiu Ya was oblivious to the fact that Xia Wanxin held no such thoughts in her heart, and since Lin Chen disliked that kind of behavior, Xia Wanxin would never engage in it.

To stay by Lin Chen’s side over the long term, she needed to keep up with Lin Chen’s pace in cultivation, and most importantly, she must never repulse him.

If she treated Lin Chen well, he was bound to return the favor many times over.

But to approach Lin Chen with an ulterior motive would only repel him.

Xia Wanxin was clever; she knew that for someone as exceptionally talented as Lin Chen, attracting women was easy, so she never thought to possess him alone or to use despicable means to deal with the other women by his side.

On the contrary, as long as Lin Chen was happy, Xia Wanxin didn’t care how many women were around him. As long as she had a place among them, that was enough.
