The Childhood Friend Beats the Sudden Love Interest, and It Has a Happy Ending
Lin Qian is the legendary rich, beautiful heiress. She has money, looks, and a publicly listed company of her own. At twenty-eight, she has never dated anyone in her life. Her parents think there must be something wrong with her, since she seems set on never dating or getting married, while her friends think she is arrogant and looks down on everyone who pursues her.
But only Lin Qian knows that there has always been someone in her heart, someone she has loved for a full twenty years.
Then one day, encouraged by her friends, she finally decides to confess. The other person thinks she's joking. "Lin Qian, are you drunk? Did you lose a game of Truth or Dare?"
"No! I'm serious."
On the other end of the phone, Bai Xiaxi falls silent. Then a voice faintly comes through: "Baby, who's calling you in the middle of the night? Are you going to let me sleep or not?"
At those words, Lin Qian's heart skips a beat. "Who is she?"
"My girlfriend."
From then on, Lin Qian seems like a different person. Wherever the two of them go, she follows, and every so often she tries to whisper doubts in Bai Xiaxi's ear.
"Break up with her. She's not right for you!"
"Then who is?"
"Me!"
"Ha! That's not funny at all!"
When that approach fails, Lin Qian turns to Bai Xiaxi's girlfriend instead. She produces a blank check and gets straight to the point: "Write down how much you want, then leave her."
The girl pauses, then fills the check with zeros. "There. When you pay me, I'll leave."
Lin Qian stares at the nine-hundred-million-yuan check in her hand. It hurts, but she manages to raise the money within a month.
As promised, the girl takes the money and leaves.
When Lin Qian hears that the two have broken up, she suppresses her excitement and joy, then finds Bai Xiaxi drunk in a bar.
"Why? What did I do wrong? Why did she break up with me?"
"She's not good enough for you!" Lin Qian holds an umbrella over her as she helps her up, careful not to let her stumble or bump into anything.
"That's nonsense!"
"It's not. She's not good enough for you."
"Ha!" Bai Xiaxi laughs. "Really? Then tell me, who is good enough for me? You? President Lin, quit joking around. Look at who you are and who I am. We're worlds apart. We were childhood friends and desk mates for a few days, that's all. What, did that make you fall for me? Your love is awfully casual."
Lin Qian's eyes redden. Her grip tightens around the umbrella. "Yes! I've never been in a relationship, and I don't know what love is. But seeing you with someone else hurts. I get jealous. I even go crazy. Bai Xiaxi, I've loved you for twenty years. It's as if I was born into this world just to love you."
"And what about her? What gives her the right? I met you first. Is it just because I came back late from studying abroad? Is that why fate let her steal you away from me? I'm telling you, Bai Xiaxi, that's never going to happen."
"Even if you've dated a thousand times, I'll still take you back. I don't care if you hate me or resent me."
