Dedicated to studying, yet forced into a chaotic situation.

Chapter 88 Then I'm the one you like.

Shi Sui didn't understand why things had turned out this way.

First, in the afternoon, Song Xinying said she liked her.

Now that we've finally managed to clear things up on WeChat and thought things were over, Chi Yan says he likes her again.

"Forget it," Shi Sui thought, "it's all her own fault."

If I had known, I would have jumped out of the window after the last exam.

She should sneak back to her dorm and take a long nap so she won't run into anyone and won't encounter anything like this that's beyond her brain's processing capacity.

Noticing that the girl in front of him seemed to be lost in thought, Chi Yan rubbed his hair with a slight sense of irritation.

How infuriating! He confessed his feelings so earnestly, and she was thinking about something else?

But when he looked down and saw the girl's somewhat helpless eyes, his anger vanished instantly.

Chi Yan leaned down to look her in the eye and pinched her cheek: "What are you thinking about? Did you hear me say I like you?"

"I heard you." Shi Sui didn't want to look at him and avoided his gaze.

"And you?" Chi Yan asked her, "Will you be my girlfriend?"

"No."

The refusal was quite decisive. Rather than being angry, Chi Yan was first stunned: "Why?"

Is there something wrong with him? Or—or does she already have someone she likes?

Chi Yan frowned, his tone unpleasant: "You like Song Xinying?"

"I rejected her on WeChat."

Chi Yan's eyes narrowed dangerously, and his tone became even more unpleasant: "Is that Xu Chaomu?"

"Huh?" Shi Sui was taken aback. "He and I are just friends. There's no romantic interest between us."

"Since you don't have anyone you like, why don't you date me?" Chi Yan said matter-of-factly.

“Because…” Shi Sui thought for a moment, “you just kissed me. You were too domineering. I don’t like domineering people.”

“I just kissed you, and you weren’t very angry.” Chi Yan thought for a moment, then became even more self-righteous. “It seems you like me too.”

"I'm not angry? I'm so angry!" Shi Sui pointed to her eyes. "My eyes are red with anger!"

"Oh, so cute."

"Okay, I'm going to say I'm really angry, how about I slap you?"

"Then go ahead and slap me." Chi Yan moved his face closer, deliberately bringing it close to her lips.

Shi Sui quickly took a step back to avoid an accident.

She was going to slap him, but her brain was slow to react after being kissed, and then Chi Yan confessed his feelings, which she didn't realize, so she missed her chance to slap him.

Now that Chi Yan was asking for a fan, she felt embarrassed.

Shi Suiyang's hand was caught in mid-air, and she glared at him: "Let go."

"Alright, I won't be forceful." Chi Yan released his hand, his voice returning to its usual casual tone. "From now on, I'll ask for your permission before I kiss you."

Shi Sui's eyes widened: "You still want a future?"

"Yes," Chi Yan's lips curved into a deeper smile. "It's perfectly normal for boyfriends and girlfriends to kiss, isn't it?"

"I just said I don't agree to date her," Shi Sui said angrily. "Don't be so presumptuous."

"You don't have someone you like, and you don't like assertive people. I just happen to be someone who isn't assertive, so I'm the person you like."

Shi Sui: "??"

Help! She was speechless. "I'm leaving. I don't want to talk to you." She wanted some peace and quiet.

"No." Chi Yan hugged her from behind, his chest pressed against her back, his chin touching the top of her head. "Shi Sui, don't go yet, you haven't agreed to me."

Shi Sui: !!

Shi Sui struggled in his arms: "You're being too forceful right now, I don't like it! Don't touch me!"

Chi Yan obediently released his hands and raised them: "No, I'm not forceful."

"I'm leaving, don't stop me. Tonight I'll pretend nothing happened and I didn't hear anything."

"You can't pretend nothing happened." Chi Yan was stubborn, wanting to reach out and touch her but afraid of being disliked.

He then said, "Let's date?"

Shi Sui finally understood that he wouldn't let her go unless she gave him the answer she wanted.

After thinking for a moment, Shi Sui wanted to go back to sleep early, so she had a delaying tactic: "Can I think about it when I get back?"

The night was dark, and a cold wind blew through the boy's bangs. Beneath his long eyelashes, his eyes were like shattered stars.

"Okay." Chi Yan thought for a moment, and in the end, he was not refused.

There's plenty of time ahead. Shi Sui is just slow to realize her own feelings; she must like him.

*

The villa area is very large, but those who are observant and look for it will still find this scene.

Jiang Keshan was dumbfounded.

He was certain he wasn't mistaken; the girl standing in front of Chi Yan was indeed his daughter, Shi Sui.

Recently, he heard that the young master of the Chi family had moved here to the same villa area as him, so he visited him several times, but was turned away each time.

If he can curry favor with the young master of the Chi family, his career will soar.

After learning that the young master of the Chi family owned a husky and walked it every night, Jiang Keshan bought a corgi, hoping to create a chance encounter and have a chat about dogs.

But unexpectedly, this scene unfolded before my eyes.

He wouldn't mistake the young master of the Chi family for the young master, nor would he mistake the daughter for the young master.

It's absolutely true. The young master of the Chi family kissed her daughter. He didn't hear what they said, but anyone with eyes could see that the two of them were dating.

After being shocked, Jiang Keshan recovered his composure.

He returned home.

Just as Jiang Shu had ordered the servants to prepare the black-boned chicken soup, she said, "You're back just in time. Come and have some chicken soup."

Jiang Chenjin and Jiang Tianyao were also at the restaurant. When they saw Jiang Keshan, they called him "Dad".

"How was it? Did you see the young master of the Chi family? Did you get to speak with him?" Jiang Shu sighed. "We should have sent Shen Jin, but his leg injury wasn't there yet. It's all that wretched girl Shi Sui's fault. She's a madwoman. The farther away she gets, the better."

Jiang Keshan didn't reply to her. Instead, he looked at Jiang Chenjin and asked him, "You said Shi Sui gave you more than 300,000 yuan when she left?"

At the mention of Shi Sui, Jiang Chenjin frowned and his eyes blazed with anger.

He nodded, making no attempt to hide anything: "She humiliated me with over 300,000 yuan, and we still haven't found out where she got the money."

Jiang Chenjin checked the safe at home and also learned from Jiang Tianyao that she had never given Shi Sui any living expenses.

So where did she get the money?

"I understand." Jiang Keshan paused for a moment. "This money should have been given by the young master of the Chi family."

"What?" Jiang Chenjin was shocked.

Jiang Shu almost dropped the chicken soup, and a few drops of scalding soup splashed onto her hands.

The only one who wasn't surprised was Jiang Tianyao. She stared silently at the chicken soup in her bowl, but felt incredibly sad inside.

"I just saw the young master of the Chi family with Shi Sui." Jiang Keshan looked at Jiang Tianyao and asked, "Tiantian, you go to the same school as them, are they dating?"

Jiang Tianyao wanted to remain silent, but it was impossible now.

“I’m not in the same class as them, so I don’t know the specifics.” Jiang Tianyao’s eyes flickered slightly, and she pursed her lips. “The classmates all say that Shi Sui is seducing Chi Yan, but Chi Yan doesn’t like her.”

“I saw them kissing,” Jiang Keshan said in a deep voice. “Even if the young master of the Chi family was just playing around, Sui was still climbing the social ladder at that time.”

Kissing? Jiang Tianyao's mind went blank, and she didn't react for a moment.

Jiang Chenjin and Jiang Shu were also still caught off guard.

“Chen Jin.” Jiang Keshan looked at Jiang Chen Jin, who was still in a daze, and said, “You should bring Shi Sui home next week. After all, we are family. The school dormitory is not good. Home is better.”

"Huh?" Jiang Chenjin's face turned ashen, her whole body resisting, but she could only agree, "Okay, I understand."

“You also made mistakes last time,” Jiang Keshan said. “You shouldn’t have rummaged through your sister’s things. She just acted impulsively and beat you up. It’s been half a month, so she should have gotten over it by now.”

Jiang Chenjin: "Dad, I know."

Weighing the pros and cons, Shi Sui's relationship with the young master of the Chi family is definitely not ordinary. Climbing into the Chi family through her would undoubtedly make things much easier.

So even if he hated her a lot, he still had to bring her back to the Jiang family.
