Chapter 21: Chapter 21 Which Girl Doesn't Harbor Springtime Sentiments

"Young...Young...brother...I think there might be a misunderstanding..." Arkin stammered with a pained expression.

"Misunderstanding?" Lin Yun scoffed.

"Bang —"

Next momt, Lin Yun's stick struck down right on Arkin's head, causing Arkin to fall flat on his face.

After that, Lin Yun turned a, heading towards a taxi.

"Brother, are you okay?"

However, before Lin Yun could reach the taxi, the cab door swung op, and a girl flung herself into Lin Yun's arms, tears cascading down her face.

This girl was other than Xia Qingqing.

"Ssss...I'm fine...let's...go..."

During the fight, Lin Yun had be focused, not feeling the pain. But as soon as he stopped, he was immediately overcome with pain all over his body. Xia Qingqing's leap had landed her directly on his bruises. Lin Yun couldn't help but inhale sharply, but he swiftly forced a smile and spoke.

Having observed this, Xia Qingqing also realized something. She quickly retreated from Lin Yun's embrace, looking utterly lost.

She had be watching the whole brawl from inside the taxi. Lin Yun had be struck by many iron rods, causing her great distress and self-blame.

If not for her, Lin Yun wouldn't have gott into a fight with these m.

Before Xia Qingqing could dwell on it any longer, Lin Yun had already grabbed her hand and was striding toward a minivan.

They quickly checked that the minivan was unoccupied before climbing in.

Lin Yun took the driver's seat, and Xia Qingqing sat in the passger seat.

The momt after, the minivan started moving.

The Nightingale Bar wasn't on Qinglong District Main Street, but it wasn't far from it, which was why the bar was prospering. In just a couple of minutes, Lin Yun drove the minivan onto Qinglong District Main Street.

"Let's go!"

The decisive Lin Yun parked the vehicle, and both of them got out.

An hour later, inside a hotel room, on a bed.

"It's all because of me that brother got into a fight with those people..."

Xia Qingqing's eyes were red-rimmed, as she carefully applied medicine to Lin Yun's wounds, choking back her sobs.

All she could see were purple-black bruises all over Lin Yun's body, hardly any spot unaffected.

Could it be that Lin Yun had heard that she was going to the bar today and wt there because of it?

That seemed highly possible...

So, what was it that Lin Yun wanted to tell her?

Going to the bar to find her... having something to talk about... and now Lin Yun had something to tell her again...

Could it be possible that brother had changed his mind and planned to accept her?

Lin Yun had be angry... because he cared too much about her...

Thinking about all the confession strategies she had read and expericed, Xia Qingqing couldn't help but blush, her heart pounding in her chest.

What teage girl didn't yearn for love?

Although she had be secretly admiring Lin Yun, she always hoped that one day, Lin Yun would confess his feelings to her.

"I acquired the agcy rights for several products, and one of them has be selling really well these past few days, netting me quite a substantial sum of money, probably in the millions," Lin Yun said with a small smile.

He didn't conceal the amount of money he had actually made.

Because he had set his mind on Xia Qingqing.

Because he was afraid that Xia Qingqing would hide things from him again.

In case Xia Qingqing countered a similar situation again, it would be too late for his regrets.

However, he did not disclose anything about the Cosmic Trading System to Xia Qingqing.

It wasn't that he doubted Qingqing, but rather, the more people knew about something, the higher the risks. The matter of the Cosmic Trading System was too significant. Moreover, after reading some of the information on the Cosmic Trading System, he knew that some people could discover certain things ev if you didn't want to tell them or didn't say it out loud.

Right now, he wasn't powerful ough. He would tell Xia Qingqing wh he had grown stronger.

"Huh?" Xia Qingqing was dumbfounded.

She hadn't expected Lin Yun to tell her that. She had just... she was so embarrassed. Xia Qingqing felt her face heat up ev more.

As a result, Xia Qingqing failed to register the numbers Lin Yun had just mtioned.

"Brother secured the agcy rights for several products, and their sales are good. I'm glad for you..." Feeling embarrassed, Xia Qingqing lowered her head, speaking quietly, her face flushed.

"Huh?" It was th that Xia Qingqing realized the sum Lin Yun had just mtioned. She immediately looked up, shock writt all over her face. "Brother, you just said you made how much?"

"Hehe, a few million. So, if anything comes up in the future, don't hide it from me," Lin Yun said, laughing as he saw Xia Qingqing belatedly react. He tderly patted her on the head.

What a silly girl.
