Chapter 22: Is she already actively seducing me?

After a while, as if suddenly remembering something, Su Wan quickly pulled her phone out of her bag.

After unlocking it, she brought up her phone number and handed it to Lin Chen. Her tone was respectful yet carried a hint of initiative.

"Mr. Lin, this is my number. Please be so kind as to save it."

She paused, then added with a look of expectation in her eyes:

"If there are any developments regarding the renovation of the Flat in the future, I will call or message you on WeChat immediately. I won't waste your time."

"Also, if you're free, we could go out for tea, see a movie, or something like that."

Lin Chen looked at the phone she was holding out. His eyebrows twitched slightly, and he felt secretly amused.

"Starting to seduce me already?"

"Quite direct, but I like it."

"Sure. To be honest, I don't have many friends. You're so beautiful and have such a good personality; I'd quite like to have a beautiful female friend like you."

Hearing Lin Chen's praise, Su Wan's face instantly flushed with a shy blush, looking like a ripe apple.

Lovely and moving, she lowered her head slightly, her eyes darting away. Her voice carried a hint of bashfulness and a touch of probing:

"Mr. Lin, have you... have you not dated a girlfriend yet?"

Hearing this, Lin Chen raised his eyes slightly and glanced at her. A flash of playfulness appeared in the depths of his eyes.

He deliberately pretended to think for a moment before slowly answering:

"Well, I haven't officially dated a girlfriend yet."

He paused, intentionally drawing out his words with a hint of suggestion in his tone:

"However, I have seen a few decent girls at the university lately."

"They are all very beautiful and have great personalities. Just like you, they are lovely, charming, and very attractive."

In fact, Lin Chen said this to deliberately hint to Su Wan:

If you don't take the initiative and become bolder, other girls might approach me soon.

When that time comes, you won't have a chance anymore.

He wanted to dangle the bait and make her take the initiative. After all, it was more fun when the prey delivered itself to the door.

Su Wan was already clever and had a delicate mind.

Hearing Lin Chen's words, she instantly understood the meaning behind them. She immediately grew nervous and anxious:

No, I can't let other girls snatch him away!

I have to grasp such a good opportunity firmly!

She quickly looked up and gave Lin Chen a flirtatious glare. There wasn't a hint of anger in that look.

Instead, it was full of charm and grievance. Then, she pretended to be magnanimous and said:

"Since you praised me for being beautiful, then starting today, we can try being boyfriend and girlfriend!"

"A 'maid-style' girlfriend!"

After saying that, she playfully winked at Lin Chen. Her eyes were full of expectation and a desire to please.

She looked so lovely and moving that one wouldn't have the heart to refuse.

Faced with Su Wan's direct and charming request, Lin Chen naturally wouldn't disappoint her.

After all, teasing her was quite an interesting thing.

Just as Su Wan was about to lose her nerve and try to smooth things over, Lin Chen suddenly spoke.

His tone carried a bit of banter and a bit of indulgence, with a playful smile hanging on his lips:

"Let's give it a try then. Your proposal of a 'maid-style' girlfriend is quite fresh to me and an eye-opener. Let's try it out."

Hearing this, Su Wan instantly looked up, her eyes shining like stars. Her face was full of surprise and excitement.

She almost jumped up, her voice carrying a hint of cheerfulness and charm:

"Great!"

"Then starting today, your big sister will accompany you and give it a good try. I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"

He nodded readily, his tone carrying a hint of indulgence:

"Alright, then how about a hug first?"

Upon hearing Lin Chen's promise, a brilliant smile instantly bloomed on Su Wan's face. The joy in her eyes was almost overflowing.

"Yes, a hug."

Then she proactively approached him and gave him a frontal hug, intentionally pressing her chest against him.

The room fell into an unbearable silence, so quiet that the nervous breathing of the two could be heard.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

Su Wan clenched her fists tightly, her nails almost digging into her palms.

The tension in her heart grew stronger and stronger; her heart was pounding so hard it felt like it would leap out of her chest.

After a brief moment, he released the hug.

Lin Chen knew clearly that from beginning to end, he was the one holding the initiative.

He saw through Su Wan's thoughts completely. There was no need to flatter her or be too enthusiastic.

A proper amount of coldness would actually make it easier to handle her.

He slowly pulled out his phone, pressed the power button, and glanced at the time on the screen. His brow furrowed slightly.

His tone returned to its usual casualness:

"Well, let's stop here for today. Anyway, the black card is in your hands."

"You can handle the renovation and the villa matters as you see fit. I've already told you what needs to be said."

As he spoke, he stood up and straightened his clothes.

"Let's finish the remaining procedures first. I have to head back; I have class this afternoon and can't be late."

Hearing this, Su Wan also quickly stood up, a well-behaved smile still on her face:

"Alright, Mr. Lin. I'll take you to finish the procedures right now. I won't delay your time."

Lin Chen nodded and turned toward the door. But just as he grabbed the handle,

ready to open it, he suddenly stopped. His brow furrowed slightly as he felt a bit annoyed with himself.

"Oh, I forgot one thing. I took a taxi here today."

"I didn't drive. Do I have to take another taxi back?"

While he was secretly conflicted, Su Wan quickly stepped forward.

Her tone was well-behaved and sharp, with a hint of expectation in her eyes:

"Mr. Lin, let me drive you. I don't have anything else to do anyway, so I can spend a bit more time with you."

She was secretly delighted. This was truly divine help. This way, she could take the opportunity to spend more time with him.

Getting to know each other better and deepening his impression of her was simply perfect.

Lin Chen turned to look at her, thought for a moment, and then nodded.

"Alright, then I'll trouble you."

"It's no trouble at all! It's my honor to be able to drive you!"

Su Wan then led Lin Chen to the parking lot, opened her car door, and said respectfully:

"Mr. Lin, please get in."

Lin Chen nodded and bent down to get into the car. Su Wan also quickly got in.

She started the car and drove toward the Xingcheng University Town area.

As the car traveled along the wide road, Su Wan drove while

occasionally glancing at Lin Chen beside her. Her tone carried a hint of testing:

"Mr. Lin, are you a student at Xingcheng University?"

"Yeah, Xingcheng University, first year."

Lin Chen leaned back in his seat with his eyes closed, answering casually in a lazy and comfortable manner.

Hearing this, a flash of surprise appeared in Su Wan's eyes, and she quickly said:

"Wow, Xingcheng University is the best university in our Star City. You're really amazing, Mr. Lin!"

"By the way, Mr. Lin, you gave me such a big order"

"and trust me so much. I'd feel bad if I didn't do something. I have to treat you to a meal to show my gratitude."

She quickly added in a coquettish tone, not giving Lin Chen a chance to refuse:

"Since you said we're friends, you can't decline!"

"Otherwise, it means you don't see me as a friend!"

Hearing this, Lin Chen slowly opened his eyes and glanced at her.

A faint smile curled on his lips, his tone carrying a hint of indulgence:

"Heh, alright. Since you've put it that way, I won't decline."

"You make the arrangements. I happen to be hungry too. I'll eat lunch and then go to my afternoon classes."

"Great!"

"I guarantee I'll arrange everything perfectly and make sure you're satisfied!"

Upon hearing this, a brilliant smile instantly bloomed on Su Wan's face, her eyes filled with joy.

Her driving speed even became a bit lighter. She was secretly planning in her heart:

I must find a restaurant with a good environment and great food.

I'll perform well and strive to make Lin Chen like me even more.

"It would be best to have some wine too, so I can take the chance to have relations with him at noon!"
