Chapter 009: The Young Master of the Lin Group

On the large bed in the hotel, Tan Xiaoling nestled in Lin Chengze's arms, her fingers twirling on his chest.

From the first time they met, Tan Xiaoling had been attracted to Lin Chengze. His handsome appearance and his designer clothes and luxury car had captivated her, making him her dream lover.

Growing up in a small town in City B, she had been drawn to the bustling city of Beijing. She knew she couldn't make it on her own in the city, and being with Lin Chengze would be the perfect solution. She couldn't help but give him a flirtatious look, hoping for his response.

Sure enough, not long after, Lin Chengze came to the hotel to find her. They went on dates, had meals, and went shopping, and before long, they ended up in the same bed. He was able to satisfy her desires.

Lin Chengze held Tan Xiaoling's mischievous hand. "You little vixen."

"Chengze, I've been in Beijing for quite a few days now. I should go back to City B."

"Don't leave yet. I'll arrange accommodation and a car for you. Stay."

"Really? Can I?"

"Of course."

"Thank you, Chengze. I love you so much!"

Tan Xiaoling soon moved into the apartment Lin Chengze arranged for her and drove the car he bought for her to the Xia family's residence.

Xia Yishan had the butler serve her a pot of tea and asked deliberately, "Xiaoling, are you here to bid me farewell today?"

Tan Xiaoling's face stiffened. "I..."

"You said you wanted to stay in Beijing with me. Why haven't I seen you, and now you want to leave? I can have someone accompany you in Beijing before you go."

"I've been busy looking for a place to live these past few days. I didn't have time to see you. Are you angry?"

"What place?"

"I love Beijing so much. I've decided to stay and keep you company! I'm not going back to City B."

"Suit yourself."

...

...

Tan Xiaoling and Xia Yishan chatted about many things, and finally, she asked the question she was most curious about, "Yishan, who was the handsome guy who came to pick you up that day?"

"Which one?"

"The one who came to pick you up when Shen Jiashu left. He's really handsome."

"Is he related to being handsome? I don't think so..."

"I think he's quite handsome. Who is he?" Tan Xiaoling only knew that Lin Chengze was from a wealthy family, but she didn't know the extent of his wealth. To show that she wasn't swayed by money, she didn't ask Lin Chengze much about his background.

"Oh, him. He's the son of the Lin Group. I heard he's about to inherit the Lin Group, so he's quite wealthy..." Of course, Xia Yishan wouldn't tell her about the fluctuations in the Lin Group's stock market and the risks the entire group faced.

"Really..." Tan Xiaoling's eyes dodged. She hadn't expected Lin Chengze's background to be even more significant than she had imagined.

"Yeah, my dad said that the Lin family is arranging a blind date for him. Any woman who can marry into the Lin family is considered lucky, at least she'll have endless money."

"Is that so..." Tan Xiaoling thought about the day Lin Chengze went to pick up Xia Yishan and felt uncomfortable. Xia Yishan was now the daughter of the Xia family, no longer the country bumpkin from the orphanage. Would there be anything between Lin Chengze and her?

"Why do you care about him so much? Have you taken a liking to him?"

"No, I just arrived in Beijing and don't know anyone. How could I have such thoughts? It's getting late, I'll leave first and come to see you another day."

Unable to sit still, Tan Xiaoling hurriedly left the Xia family's residence.

Xia Yishan watched her retreating figure and chuckled to herself. Lin Chengze, Tan Xiaoling, you can take your time with your antics...
