ult, I only watched one game. 。However, luckily, his team won. 。When the topic came up, Xing'er thought of another thing and leaned her body sideways, facing Ming Sihan directly. 。"Hey! Are you the bo...Unbeknownst to her, Zhu Xiaoxi had confessed her love to Yan Wenbin because of her unrequited love for him. However, she was rejected. To her dismay, Yan Wenbin's affections lay with Lian Xing'er instead.

Therefore, Zhu Xiaoxi would only pretend to value Lian Xing'er's friendship outwardly while secretly undermining it.

Lian Xing'er didn't know why Zhu XiaoXi was insincere towards her, and she also didn't know that Yan Wenbin liked her.

So, when Xing'er met Yan Wenbin in this northern city, it was purely out of their past camaraderie as schoolmates that she would chat with him so freely.

"How did you end up in Beicheng Didn't you go abroad to study" Yan Wenbin asked curiously.

At first, the news that Xing'er was admitted to a prestigious foreign university spread like wildfire.

"I came to watch the "World Hacker League Championship". Also, I didn't go abroad to study."

"Where are you studying university now" Yan Wenbin's eyes flashed with a hint of joy.

Then Xing'er replied, "At the Linhai University in Linhai City!"

"With your grades, you should be going to our Beichen University," Yan Wenbin couldn't help but say with a hint of admiration, yet also a tinge of disappointment in his tone.

But Lian Xing'er simply replied with a nonchalant expression, "Anyway, for someone like me whose future path has already been arranged by my parents, it doesn't matter which school I attend."

What will her future hold

The family business wasn't hers to inherit, but her parents had already set aside a large sum of money for her, enough to ensure she wouldn't want for anything for the rest of her life and could even spend lavishly.

So, she didn't have to consider work at all, nor did she need to struggle for anything. Even her marriage was arranged perfectly by her elders.

A girl like her rarely gets to make her own decisions.

Does this count as being submissive

From a young age, everything she wanted to do was stifled by her parents.

Over time, even Xing'er developed a bad habit.

That is, whatever Daddy and Mommy say goes.

Even if her father asked her to give up the opportunity to study abroad and choose a coastal university close to home, she would readily agree without any complaints.

Also, for the sake of easing the feud between the Leng and Ming families, she was willing to be a sacrifice in a political marriage. She didn't object at all.

Although her parents always pretended to ask for her opinion, deep down she knew they still hoped she would fulfill their wishes.

Lianxing'er didn't feel wronged, nor did she think that heaven was unfair to her. After all, there is gain and loss in life.

Life blessed her with material abundance, but it would inevitably take something away from her to balance the world.

"It's rare that we meet like this, why don't we go have a meal together I study here in Beicheng, so I'm the host. I'll treat you." Yan Wenbin smiled and changed the subject.

And it just so happened that, at this very moment, Xing'er's stomach began to rumble with hunger.

He had nothing, not even a cell phone.

Perhaps, take this opportunity to borrow some money from him, Yan Wenbin, and return to the hotel.

Lian Xing'er calculated this way in her heart, so she readily agreed to Yan Wenbin's invitation.

After Ming Sihan chased out, he only saw Lian Xing'er following a strange boy into a taxi.

Worried that the girl might get into trouble, he immediately hailed another taxi. He sat in the front passenger seat and ordered the driver to follow the taxi that Lian Xing'er was in.

Yan Wenbin took Lian Xing'er to the most famous roast suckling pig restaurant in Beicheng and sat at a partitioned private room on the first floor.

Each table is separated from the next by a screen adorned with auspicious patterns in peach wood. Although conversations from neighboring tables can occasionally be heard, each space still maintains a sense of privacy.

But, Lianxing didn't really like this centralized dining environment.

Because, in her view, it was no different from eating at the school cafeteria.

Yan Wenbin did not have the luxurious family background of Xing'er. He was born into an ordinary, comfortable family. Therefore, he wasn't particular about food and didn't have any picky eating habits.

He felt that bringing Lian Xing'er to the best restaurant in Beicheng was already a special treat for her.

After Lian Xing'er and Yan Wenbin took their seats, Ming Sihan asked the waiter to arrange a seat next to them.

There is only a screen between three people.

So, Ming Sihan could hear everything Lian Xing'er and Yan Wenbin said.

After the waiter brought over the menu, Yan Wenbin didn't even ask for Xing'er's opinion before directly ordering two dishes and a soup. He also instructed the waiter to bring the food quickly.

Li Xing'er remained silent throughout, but she didn't show any displeasure towards Yan Wenbin.

At least, he ordered dishes that she could eat, although they were a little plain.

However, for her now, just being able to fill her stomach is enough.

Ming Sihan listened to Yan Wenbin's report on the dishes, then beckoned to the waiter and ordered several signature dishes from the restaurant. With a cloud-light demeanor, he said: "Send them to that table over there and say it's a free tasting experience courtesy of your restaurant."

At once, the waiter looked at Ming Sihan with a dumbfounded expression. After a second of stunned silence, he immediately nodded and bowed diligently, saying, "Yes, please wait a moment."
