Forced to Date a Big Shot

Chapter 509: He Was Angry

In the basement of the Capital Tower.

Xiang Huai and Jing Fei were eavesdropping on Nicholas and Thor’s calls.

Recently, in addition to Professor Derry, Country M had also sent Professor Thor to China. Although they would not do anything sinister to the two professors, they would still supervise them.

This was because Xiang Huai was very certain that Nicholas’s motive for having them come was not simple.

Indeed, they were discussing how to abduct Xue Xi the entire time.

Professor Derry obviously failed.

He was an old-fashioned mathematician who didn’t know anything about schemes and plots. He was straightforward, and when he failed, Nicholas sent Professor Thor next.

When Licheng Pharmaceutical Company’s TikTok video was released, it was not very popular. Nicholas was behind it.

He was also the one who’d bought the Weibo trending searches.

It was to force Xue Sheng to talk to them about the raw materials.

When Thor said “I value other things” and “you,” Jing Fei was already jumping. “F*ck, he actually dared to steal Boss’s spot. He’s really tired of living! You say he’s an old man, so where did he get the guts?”

Xiang Huai crossed his arms and was very calm. “Calm down.”

Jing Fei: “I can’t calm down. Boss, this is a matter of principle! Boss, why aren’t you attacking?”

Xiang Huai shot him a glance and lazily leaned back in his chair as he slowly replied, “What are you doing? We’re here to monitor them, not to interrupt their negotiations. Can’t you be more professional?”

Jing Fei hugged his arms. “Boss, your professionalism makes me feel scared.”

Xiang Huai ignored him and continued listening. When he heard Xue Xi say that she was not going, he curled his lips and looked up at Jing Fei to emphasize. “She said she’s not going.”

Jing Fei: “...Boss, I’m not deaf.”

However, when he met Xiang Huai’s eyes, Jing Fei changed his tone. “I can pretend to be deaf.”

Xiang Huai retracted his gaze and continued eavesdropping.

When Xue Xi said that she wanted to chat with Nicholas, Xiang Huai curled his lips and looked at Jing Fei. “The little kid is so smart. She realized that something is wrong so quickly.”

Jing Fei: “...” Boss, it’s Sister-in-law who noticed that something was wrong. Why are you so proud?

In the past, it was difficult for Boss to even say a word. Now, he had become a wife-praising demon!

He winced.

Indeed, when he heard Xue Xi reject Nicholas and say, “Although China might still be a little behind in some aspects of academics, we won’t always be behind.” Xiang Huai looked up and said proudly, “My little kid.”

Jing Fei: “...”

What was the meaning of this pampering and showing off?

Then, when Nicholas said that he could help her family migrate, Xue Xi asked, “Then, what about Xiang Huai?”

Xiang Huai looked up and pointed at himself before saying smugly, “The kittle kid can’t leave me.”

Jing Fei had nothing to live for.

He wanted to cover his ears. He did not want to hear him speak anymore. He did not want to be forced into watching a public display of affection!

After that, he heard Nicholas’s words. When he heard the first sentence, Xiang Huai’s lazy posture had already straightened and his eyes had turned serious.

By the time he’d continued, a wave of anger had already washed over him.

When he said the third sentence, Xiang Huai had already extended his hand and started typing rapidly on the keyboard. Just now, it was just a wiretap. It was much simpler. Now, to insert himself in it, he needed a more complicated code.

Jing Fei could not help but step forward. He wanted to stop Xiang Huai, who was about to speak. “Boss, Boss, we agreed earlier that we were only monitoring! We’re being professional, professional!”

Xiang Huai did not speak. Just him raising his eyes made Jing Fei take a step back in fear. He did not dare to speak anymore. Boss, where was your gentleness and satisfaction from just now?

Xiang Huai quickly opened the passageway, but he did not immediately interrupt their conversation. Instead, he waited.

When Nicholas said, “I have a way to get rid of ‘you will die if you don’t fall in love’ curse, so can this be a stepping stone to invite you to Country M?” Xiang Huai’s fingers on the return key had already stopped there.

The little kid’s delayed rejection made him clench his jaw, and his gaze turned even colder.

In this relationship, although the little kid was in a passive position, wasn’t he the same?

From her initial resistance to him, Xue Xi slowly came to accept him. It was not easy for her to occasionally feel moved now. God knew how much he had sacrificed.

But even so, the little kid still wanted to remove that restriction. Did she want to be separated from him clearly?

The thought chilled his eyes.

Five breaths later, he, who had been waiting for the little kid’s reply for a long time, was afraid that he would hear those words that would cause irreparable damage to them. He pressed the return button.

The moment the call connected, he said coldly, “No.”

...

Xue Xi did not expect Xiang Huai’s voice to appear when she was chatting with Nicholas. She paused slightly and decided to shut her mouth.

Nicholas was taken aback as well. He responded quickly, “Xiang, it’s impolite of you to monitor my phone like this. Is this how China treats its guests?”

Xiang Huai’s voice was very cold. “This is my way of treating guests. There’s an old Chinese saying: ‘It’s better to destroy ten temples than a single marriage.’ Have you heard of it?”

Nicholas said, “...Sorry, but I’m just stating a fact.”

Xiang Huai’s voice was filled with restrained anger as he said coldly, “Are you sure you still want to continue telling this truth?”

Nicholas smiled bitterly. “This is my conversation with Ms. Xue. Please convey your own words to her.”

Before Xue Xi could speak, Xiang Huai said, “Then let’s rely on our own capabilities.”

Xue Xi’s voice suddenly stopped.

She froze and looked at the Bluetooth earpiece again. She shook it and found that there was indeed no sound. Puzzled, she handed it to Professor Thor.

Professor Thor shrugged and said, “Goddess, I’m actually here because someone asked me to. The Earl can’t enter China, so I have to come. Are you really not going to consider it?”

Xue Xi paused for a long time before shaking her head. “No.”

She stood and said slowly, “My terms will not change. If you change your mind, you may contact us at any time. Goodbye, Professor Thor.”

Thor sighed.

As a world-class chemist, he had his own way of doing things. He stood up and walked her out.

Even after Xue Xi left, Thor’s Bluetooth earpiece never rang again.

After exiting the hotel elevator, Xue Xi turned to look at the top floor.

She picked up her phone again and sighed when she realized that Nicholas showed no signs of changing his mind.

In the end, the matter was not accomplished.

There was no way they could lower the price of their medicine.

Xiao Song looked at Xue Xi. Actually, she did not quite understand her choice. There were so many people who wanted to go to Scanford University. Why did Missy reject it?

However, from what CEO Xue said, it was entirely up to Missy. He had no right to interfere with her own decisions at all. He really doted on his daughter too much!

If Xue Xi went to Scanford to amass accolades, it would only increase their prestige after she came back.

However, it was useless no matter what she said. She could only sigh. “What should we do now?”

Xue Sheng patted Xue Xi’s shoulder. “There are some things that we have to work hard for. It’s good enough that we won’t regret anything in the future.”

Xue Xi nodded.

After some thought, she picked up her phone and called Xiang Huai.

The call was quickly made, but it was hung up after only one ring.

Hearing the beeping sound from the phone, Xue Xi was stunned.

That was it.

She was angry.
