61: Chapter 61 is very straight.

Before long, a waiter brought over a large plastic bag and started distributing sunflower seeds to the guests who were watching the spectacle...

The Lin Family rolled their eyes at Lin Xiao, annoyed.

This kid really loves to stir the pot when watching the drama!

Bai Yueling was also in the crowd, watching the entire spectacle from start to finish.

Seeing Lin Xiao's relaxed expression as he ate his sunflower seeds, she suddenly found this guy even more interesting.

Should she try to win him over?

A banquet belonging to high society had been interrupted by a farce that one would only expect to see on the streets.

The guests present were extremely glad they had come today.

After this, the Bai family's scandal would likely remain a hot topic for quite some time.

In the room, the three people fighting had finally tired themselves out.

They lay on the floor in a disheveled mess, still glaring at each other.

Bai Yuan knew full well that being a laughingstock in front of so many people was a humiliating affair.

But thinking back on how he had already been a laughingstock for over twenty years, he didn't really care about this little moment.

In the end, Old Master Bai heard about the incident and sent an assistant to rush over and take all three of them away.

Only then did the other guests slowly disperse.

Bai Yueling walked behind them, keeping a discreet eye on Lin Xiao's position.

Since she had decided to win Lin Xiao over, she could start executing her plan right now!

Her bright eyes darted around, and she thought of a simple method.

Lin Xiao was walking just a little bit behind her. If she "accidentally" fell now, she could have some intimate contact!

Actually, she used to look down on such tactics, but she had to admit that they were often very effective.

She adjusted her angle and aimed for the spot.

With an "oops," she pretended to twist her ankle and fell backward and to the side.

Lin Xiao had been looking down, deep in thought, and had completely failed to notice Bai Yueling's scheme.

Feeling something bump into him, he instinctively raised his hand to block it, pinning the person directly against the wall.

There was none of the ambiguity of a "wall slam"; it was purely him holding her against the wall.

Like hammering a nail...

Bai Yueling was stunned.

Lin Xiao was also stunned.

Lin Xiao looked at Bai Yueling in surprise and asked in confusion, "How did you manage to trip on flat ground just like that?"

Bai Yueling was momentarily speechless.

She couldn't very well say that she had pretended to fall to throw herself into his arms, right?

She had no choice but to find an excuse, feeling both awkward and pretending to complain: "It's all this pair of high heels' fault for being so difficult to wear! It's such a struggle just to walk!"

As she spoke, she took off the shoe and tossed it aside in a fit of pique.

"Hey? Why are you just throwing things around!"

Lin Xiao bent down, picked up the high heel, shoved it back into Bai Yueling's arms, and muttered, "What if it trips someone else? Wouldn't they fall just like you?"

Bai Yueling looked at the shoe in her hands in astonishment.

She had originally thought that since Lin Xiao had saved her from the car earlier, he must be a very gentlemanly and considerate person.

But now she suddenly realized that her intuition might have been slightly off.

For instance, Lin Xiao might have just been acting out of simple kindness.

The kind that is completely detached from worldly motives.

Kindness...

If it were anyone else, they would definitely be disappointed and lose interest in Lin Xiao.

But Bai Yueling was different.

As a young miss, she was someone who loved to experience life everywhere.

She had worked at small companies, helped people walk their dogs, and even delivered food.

In short, she liked everything novel.

Lin Xiao's bizarre behavior only piqued her interest even more.

Watching Lin Xiao's retreating back, she quietly put her shoes back on.

She thought about what her next step should be to get closer to Lin Xiao.

Since they met because of cars, she might as well start from there.

"By the way, Lin Xiao, I think I got your car dirty today. How about I take it to get washed for you?"

"No need, I can go myself."

"Uh, well, you helped me, so let me treat you to a meal!"

"No need, you gave me a ride over, so we're even."

"..."

Bai Yueling had used every trick in the book, but Lin Xiao refused all of them.

In the end, she was truly at her wit's end.

"How about this, I'll teach you how to drive!"

"..."

Finally, Lin Xiao stopped in his tracks.

Bai Yueling thought she had finally moved this steel-straight guy, and hurriedly added: "Look, although my skills aren't particularly great, I think they're enough to teach you. Otherwise, the next time you go to the parking lot, it'll take you forever to drive out again."

Lin Xiao sighed softly.

Thinking of how difficult it was to drive today, he ultimately shook his head.

"Forget it, I'll just find a driver whenever I go out in the future."

"..."

Bai Yueling was completely dumbfounded.

Could there really be such an oblivious person in this world?

Any normal person would have been able to sense something after such attentiveness from her, right?

Lin Xiao actually didn't have any reaction at all!

Seriously, what a challenge!

Bai Yueling was the type to become braver with every setback, and she was full of the desire to conquer Lin Xiao.

Not only was she not discouraged, but she was even more energized.

Watching Lin Xiao's retreating back, she cheered herself on!

Anyway, there was plenty of time; she didn't believe she couldn't win over this bizarre man!
