394: Chapter 394 Still saying you don't have a boyfriend?

"Excuse me, is Lin Heng here?"

Soon, a voice as crisp as a kingfisher's sounded from outside.

It was extremely pleasant to the ear.

The person speaking was none other than Su Xueer.

She stood outside somewhat timidly, her graceful figure resembling a young girl just experiencing first love.

However, that was indeed the reality.

Su Xueer was only twenty-two and had recently graduated from college; by comparison, she was indeed still a young girl.

The appearance of such a beautiful girl stunned the women present.

And then...

After hearing what she said, they all revealed playful smiles.

Heh heh??

Wasn't she here looking for Lin Heng?

At this moment, as Su Xueer's voice sounded, those who heard her all turned their heads in unison.

And then...

When everyone saw Su Xueer, they subconsciously froze for a moment.

Hiss...!

The men gasped audibly, while the women secretly felt envious, mostly speculating about this woman.

Such a beautiful woman coming to their remote corner... they could only think of one possibility!

That is, she was here to find someone!

And earlier, the person seemed to have already said she was looking for Lin Heng!

So... what was their relationship?

Soon, playful smiles appeared on everyone's faces.

Meanwhile, Lin Heng subconsciously felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.

This feeling brought a sense of utter dread!

He saw these Aunties quickly reveal smiles that made one fear for their life.

"Oh my... Lin Heng, the older you get, the more you lie? You said you didn't have a girlfriend, so how did this young lady show up at your house?"

"Lin Heng, what are you standing around for? Hurry up and invite the young lady in!"

"Exactly, exactly! I've never seen such a dense man! Hurry up! This aunt is getting anxious watching you!"

Soon, these Aunties started surrounding Su Xueer, enveloping her completely.

They wore enthusiastic smiles.

"Oh my, little girl, where are you from? What does your family do? How long have you known our Lin Heng?"

"Don't look at their family as having nothing right now; our Lin Heng is a top student, and also the top scorer in our province... his future is limitless!"

"Exactly, exactly... Moreover, our Lin Heng grew up under our watch; there's absolutely no issue with his character, you can rest assured!"

"Hey, why are you still standing outside? Hurry up and come in for a seat!"

"Right! Lin Heng, you are really something, having a girlfriend come over and not quickly inviting her in to sit down."

"..."

The Aunties were overwhelmingly enthusiastic.

Once they reached Su Xueer's side, they immediately started chattering incessantly.

Su Xueer didn't even get a chance to speak.

At this moment, Su Xueer, who was just preparing to shake the dirt off her clothes outside, never expected to be 'carried in on a sedan chair' by these people...

It looked like they were kidnapping her!

Good heavens...

Su Xueer instantly became flustered.

"Hey, hey... Um, Auntie, you misunderstood. I'm not... I don't have a..."

However, no matter what Su Xueer said now, these people seemed not to hear her. In fact, because of the women's chatter, Su Xueer's voice was quickly drowned in the tide of noise.

Su Xueer felt a wave of panic.

Under the escort of the crowd, Su Xueer was half-pushed, half-coaxed into Lin Heng's residence.

It was as if they had been forcibly brought together after a story and were about to get married.

Seeing the memorial tablet on the table startled Su Xueer.

Weren't these people a bit too enthusiastic?

If people didn't know the context, they'd think it was a wedding prank.

She subconsciously swallowed, her face turning pale.

At this moment, Su Xueer had reached Lin Heng's side.

Helplessly, Su Xueer could only cast a pleading look toward Lin Heng.

Lin Heng also felt a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

He quickly waved his hand, "Aunties, she is not my girlfriend. She is merely a female friend of mine. Please don't misunderstand."

"Hurry up and let go, don't scare the young girl."

Lin Heng never expected these people to be so invested in his affairs, to the point that it made him feel a sense of dread!

Hearing this, the crowd didn't quite believe it.

They snorted.

"How is that possible! Who would spend the New Year away from their own home, specifically coming here... to a boy's house at that."

"Exactly! How could a casual friend give someone their home address?"

"Lin Heng, stop lying to your Aunties. We Aunties are experienced; we understand... We'll stop bothering you now. Goodbye."

The crowd spoke and laughed.

Seeing Lin Heng and Su Xueer standing together, they praised them as a 'talented man and beautiful woman,' their faces showing congratulations.

They were genuinely happy that this young couple could be together.

However, Lin Heng and Su Xueer did not think so.

Especially Lin Heng, he just scoffed...

He had received much care from these Aunties since childhood, but this time felt different; it was clearly exaggerated to an extreme.

"No... we truly are not in the relationship you think. Su Xueer and I only have some professional connections..."

"If you don't believe me, you can ask Su Xueer."

Lin Heng looked helpless, a wry smile on his face, and then pushed the completely bewildered Su Xueer forward.

Huh?

Me?

Su Xueer was still utterly confused.

She quickly stood in front of Lin Heng. Looking at the expectant and fervent gazes around her, Su Xueer quickly lowered her head shyly.

This...

How was she supposed to explain this!

When the others saw this situation, the smiles on their faces became even more playful.

"Hahahaha... Lin Heng, you sly dog! When did you quietly capture such a beautiful young lady?"

"You're really making a fortune quietly, aren't you! As expected of a top student, you're different!"

Soon, someone chuckled darkly.

However, the old woman, being the most experienced, waved her hand at the others.

"Alright... Everyone, stop making things difficult for the young lady. Let's leave the time to them."

As soon as she said this, the others quickly slapped their foreheads, revealing expressions of understanding, laughed at each other, and quickly left.

Finally... only Lin Heng and the completely bewildered Su Xueer remained in the old house.
