Chapter 67: Worth It to Wait?

After hanging up, Lin Chuxue pressed her lips together . She could only use this as an excuse to cheer for Xu Cheng . Since when did she need to find a reason or excuse to even talk to him?

Lin Chuxue bitterly smiled .

She was standing on the balcony of Xu Cheng’s home . When Shen Yao came over, Lin Chuxue quickly put the phone into the bag .

“Are you really okay not going back for two days? Wouldn’t your boss take you to court or something?” Shen Yao held the fruit plate and chewed as she asked .

“Did you forget that my family is a big shareholder of the company? I’m basically half a boss . When the company just started, we needed a capable singer and celebrity to lead the company, and that was why I was chosen to give it a shot . The boss would never force anything on me . By now, we are already signing more and more new celebrities and trainees, so the company will still be able to function normally without me,” Lin Chuxue said .

“But you are a popular money tree right now, it would be unreasonable if your company doesn’t take advantage of a gold magnet like you,” Shen Yao pouted and said .

“Money can be earned anytime, and it’s not necessarily good to have money . ” Lin Chuxue remembered how she and Xu Cheng missed the most opportune time to accept each other because of the gap in their social and wealth status .

Shen Yao bitterly smiled . Looking at the night view from the balcony, at the bustling city lights, she said in agreement, “Yeah, everything changed after the money came . My dad started to attract bees and butterflies, and lost something he treasured and wanted to protect in the past . ”

Lin Chuxue looked at her and slowly asked, “You still don’t want to go back home and face your step-mother?”

Shen Yao was a bit lost . She looked ahead and shook her head . “Maybe the scar in my heart didn’t heal yet, so I don’t want to go back and face them . After all, with my current resources, I can make enough money to feed myself . ”

She then turned around, looked towards Lin Chuxue and asked with a smug smile, “My big superstar, when do you plan on marrying yourself away? I heard that there are tons of rich heirs surrounding you every day, willing to spend millions after millions on you . Holy crap I’m jealous . ”

Lin Chuxue chuckled and replied, “You said it yourself, I’m wearing the big superstar halo, and those people only want to play with me for that . Assuming that I lose that dazzling halo, maybe I won’t be worth that price anymore . ”

Shen Yao asked, “So, do you have a target yet?”

Lin Chuxue bitterly smiled and shook her head . “I’m not interested in looking for one right now . I just want to focus on my music for now . I’m only 23, so why would I be anxious?”

“Hey, you came to develop your career in Huaxia all by yourself, sometimes it gets lonely for sure, so you obviously need someone to take care of you,” Shen Yao said .

Lin Chuxue smiled . “So, that’s why I came to visit you . Aren’t you my best friend that will take care of me?”

Shen Yao rolled her eyes . “Come on, you already threw me under the bus twice . I can still vividly remember the scene of getting besieged by your fans . ”

Lin Chuxue laughed and replied, “That was because you didn’t believe how popular I was . At the first time, I even told you to be careful, you exposed my location yourself, and now you are blaming me?”

Shen Yao also couldn’t help but laugh awkwardly . She met Lin Chuxue in the air . She was the stewardess, and Lin Chuxue was in her sunglasses . She was assigned to bring Lin Chuxue out of the security check . It was good until she insisted on buying Lin Chuxue lunch, and then they were besieged by fans and barely got out .

Shen Yao smiled after remembering how they met . On the balcony, she let out a long sigh and said, “I wonder if Xu Cheng can beat the North Gate leader . As a local, I know a lot about North Gate’s gang leader . He’s a merciless guy that will use the most brutal means to get what he wants . ”

Lin Chuxue looked at Shen Yao in surprise . “You are concerned about him?”

She actually minded it a lot that Xu Cheng was living with two girls, one of them even being her best friend . It was quite hard for her to accept it .

“Of course not . ” Shen Yao immediately declined . “Don’t you think this guy’s very interesting? He does whatever he wants and isn’t conventional at all . In comparison to other men, I’ve never seen someone as interesting as him . Frankly speaking, I think he’s quite reliable . The other night, he was willing to offend West Gate’s casino for a stranger’s family . Just that alone is better than most men I’ve seen . ”

Lin Chuxue looked at Shen Yao praising her husband like it was second nature, it was unknown what kind of mood Lin Chuxue was in when she heard this .

But, it was just a nominal marriage, why bother to care? Xu Cheng gave her enough freedom and personal space, then she should also allow Xu Cheng to enjoy the admiration from other women . But the truth was, Lin Chuxue wasn’t happy .

“Do you have a crush on that guy?” Lin Chuxue asked Shen Yao in curiosity .

“How’s that possible?” Shen Yao said with increased volume, “Where did you get that idea from? If I got crushes on people this easily, then I would’ve already had a lot of boyfriends . ”

Lin Chuxue let out a sigh of relief . “That’s good . ”

“What?” Shen Yao thought she heard it wrong . “You actually let out a sigh of relief when you heard that I don’t have a crush on anyone? Holy crap, Lin Chuxue, do you want me to be forever alone?”

“Nah, I just feel that you have to fly here and there, anyone you get with will end up in a long-distance relationship for most of the time . It’s very unreliable, so you might as well stay single,” Lin Chuxue laughed and said .

“Don’t worry, the moment I find the right guy, I will quit this job . ” Shen Yao raised her head, looked at the starry sky, laughed and said, “Ran Jing made a bet with me to see if I have what it takes to make Xu Cheng fall for me . ”

Lin Chuxue blinked and asked, “You agreed?”

Shen Yao nodded . “Having an entire month of break is too boring, I should do something interesting . To be honest, a man like Xu Cheng won’t easily be nice to a woman or take the initiative to take care of a woman . So when a man like him falls in love with a girl, that girl will for sure be very happy . ”

Hearing this, Lin Chuxue silently sighed in her heart .  Maybe he never liked me .

“I’m just afraid that if he falls for me, I won’t be able to get rid of him even if I wanted to . ” Shen Yao sighed .

Lin Chuxue pressed her lips together and then slowly said, “You can get it a try, I can also bet with you . ”

She mumbled to herself in her heart: I don’t believe he will choose you over me . Even if he falls for you, then it will be the day we get a divorce, because there’s no longer a need to protect this love anymore .

“Lin Chuxue, you still don’t get how charming I am? Humph, if even you are joining in on this bet, then I will definitely try my best,” Shen Yao said with her hands on her hips .

Lin Chuxue was betting as well, she was betting whether their childhood sweetheart memories and emotions were still here . In fact, Lin Chuxue hoped that the reason they both stayed single over the years was that they were both waiting for the other one to talk first . However, she was no longer confident, so she thought it was fine to let Shen Yao give it a try . It would at least help prove if Xu Cheng was still holding onto their childhood memories and emotions as dearly as she was .

“Then you go court him . If you succeed, then I will tell you a secret that I’d deeply buried in my heart,” Lin Chuxue looked at Shen Yao and said .

Maybe that day was really coming, the day when there’s no longer a need to publicize her marriage but rather to end it .
