Although all of these were just rumors with no evidence, they were very convincing and rumor had it that her father owned the largest and most extensive private hospital in China.
Rumor had it that he was Ankang Pharmaceuticals’ owner, Shang Jianhui!
Furthermore, someone even said that Shang Xitong was once sent to class by Shang Jianhui during her sophomore year.
Then, he donated more than 100 million yuan worth of medical equipment, experimental equipment, and other equipment to City H’s Medical University. He even spent nearly 400 million yuan to build a clinical medicine laboratory building for City H’s Medical University.
Who wouldn’t look up to such a big shot?
A perfect goddess like her had always been someone that everyone looked up to. She wasn’t someone that ordinary people like them could lust after.
In addition, she was also a wealthy young heiress.
As an ordinary university student, Liang Jingru didn’t have the guts to pine after someone so far out of his league.
He wouldn’t dare to imagine impressing the most popular girl in school and making her swoon over him.
From then on, she would be head over heels in love with him. She would stay by his side through everything despite their difference in social class.
This was just a dream. Such unrealistic plots wouldn’t appear even in novels!
And he was more of a dud than anything.
To Su Chen, someone like Shang Xitong was out of his league.
But this was fate.
There was no stopping it.
His biological daughter came to look for him and told him that Shang Xitong was his future wife.
This alone emboldened him greatly.
Now, he knew that Shang Xitong would be his lawful wife in the future.
This meant that he must have attracted Shang Xitong somehow. This publicly acknowledged goddess must have been perceptive enough to discern that he was exceptional.
Although the goddess had a high status, he was also a lucky person.
Knowing the ending was like watching a game dungeon in advance.
What was there to worry about?
He rolled up his sleeves and got to it!
At this moment, the four of them discovered Shang Xitong, who was jogging at a leisurely pace.
“Huazi, hurry up and go!”
“Huazi, let’s go. If anything happens, we can watch the drama.”
“Huazi, go ahead. Why are you so shy? Don’t be such a sissy.”
The three of them left after encouraging him.
Su Chen turned his head to look at Shang Xitong. The morning sun cast a radiant glow over her and made her appear even more charming.
After a chuckle, he started chasing after Shang Xitong.
“Good morning. What a coincidence.”
After he caught up with Shang Xitong, he greeted her and continued to jog at a steady pace.
“I don’t think I’ve seen you jogging in the field before?”
“Yes, I don’t have the habit of jogging in the morning.”
Shang Xitong didn’t hesitate to answer.
“Then what about today?”
After hearing her words, he started to fantasize, could it be because of him?
Shang Xitong had specially inquired and learned about his morning jog habit, so she deliberately woke up early to accompany him?
However, before he could finish fantasizing, Shang Xitong’s explanation crushed his fantasy.
“Sugary beverages, especially lattes, are very healthy. I have to burn fat through exercise, or else I’ll gain weight.”
Ugh…
Although it was still because of him, it wasn’t as he had hoped.
Furthermore, Shang Xitong’s tone sounded a little resentful.
It was as if she was blaming him.
Su Chen immediately felt awkward and had no idea what to say.
Shang Xitong broke the silence.
Otherwise, the two of them might have continued running in silence until the end.
“You run in the morning every day?”
“Yes, yes, that’s right. I’m sorry. I thought you would have liked drinking latte.”
“I still like it.”
Shang Xitong didn’t try to hide it. “But I try not to drink too much of it.”
“Um, can we go to study hall together later?” Su Chen asked nervously because he was worried that he would be stood up after being excited over the date all night.
That wasn’t right either. She didn’t stand him up. She simply broke the promise.
“I don’t think so,” Shang Xitong said calmly. There was a flash of slyness in her eyes. She looked at Su Chen with an impassive look on her face and said, “Let’s wait until I have free time.”
“Huh? That’s it?”
Su Chen was somewhat at a loss for words.
Now that his precious daughter wasn’t around, he really didn’t know how to answer.
“It’s not that I’m not keeping my word, but I really have something important to settle,” Shang Xitong smiled and explained.
“I’ve been in contact with an upperclassman I met before. Recently, I received news that she’s coming back to work at the Hospital. She only told me this morning that she’s flying in today, so I need to pick her up.”
“Oh, so that’s the situation?”
When he heard Shang Xitong’s words, he reflexively said, “Shall I go with you?”
However, he immediately regretted what he said.
He wished he could sew his mouth shut.
Although he had been pining after Shang Xitong, this was only the second time she had ever spoken to him.
How could he be so shameless?
And it just so happened that Shang Xitong had fallen silent.
Was she thinking about how to reject him?
He understood clearly that he had been too impatient, and that the previous latte incident ruined his reputation.
Last night, his “precious daughter” had told him that he had to be patient and gentle when trying to woo a girl.
No matter what, he shouldn’t be anxious. However, he blurted that out before he could react.
But, just as he was planning to say, “If not, then forget it,” before he could finish speaking, he heard Shang Xitong’s voice.
“Sure.”
Huh?
What?
It worked?
She agreed?
Instantly, shock surged through his mind.
She saw how astonished Su Chen was by her words.
Shang Xitong wanted to laugh, but she still tried her best to maintain a poker face. However, it was very difficult to hold back her laughter.
“Then I’ll be heading back now.”
Shang Xitong was worried that if she didn’t go back soon, she would start laughing.
“Uh, okay.”
Su Chen replied reflexively.
“At ten thirty, wait at the south gate of the school. We’ll meet you there.”
With that, Shang Xitong left.
However, no one knew that Shang Xitong had deliberately quickened her pace.
She was really worried that she would burst into laughter here.
…
Only after Shang Xitong left did Su Chen’s roommates gather around him.
“Huazi, take it easy. There’s nothing you can’t get over!”
When Song Yeguo saw Su Chen’s dumbfounded expression, he looked at him with sympathy as he consoled him.
“Huazi, it’s okay. Isn’t it just a love confession? If you get turned down once, you can just do it again. Besides, she’s the most popular girl in school. It’s not embarrassing to be rejected by her.”
Hao Deyun put his arm around Su Chen’s shoulders as he said.
“Who is Shang Xitong? She’s classy, rich, and beautiful. She’s not someone that poor losers like us can dream of..”
