Chapter 357: Chapter 376 Invitation (6th Update)
Lin Xi sat in the passenger seat of the little red BMW, looking as if nothing had ever happened.
"Youāre not really planning to go, are you?" Xi Xiaoyi couldnāt help but worry when she thought of what had just happened.
"Why not go? Besides, they sincerely invited me, turning them down would be rude!" Lin Xi said as if it was a matter of serious importance, "Moreover, as the underground kingpin of Beicheng, I canāt afford to provoke him with my small arms and legs, so I have to go."
Hearing Lin Xi talk like this, Xi Xiaoyi wasnāt so nervous anymore and directly spat, "From your act just now, I didnāt see a shred of fear in you."
"In your eyes, heās probably the one with the small arms and legs!"
"Sister Yi, Iām serious!" Lin Xi said sincerely.
Xi Xiaoyi couldnāt possibly imagine how the assertive person from earlier turned into such a clown now, "Speak like a human!"
Lin Xi chuckled and then spoke seriously, "Actually, Iām really broke lately and want to earn some money!"
Thinking of his fortune close to a billion, now reduced to just ten or twenty thousand, he couldnāt help but feel his heart bleeding.
"Nine out of ten gamblers lose, you studied abroad, shouldnāt you know this?" Xi Xiaoyi couldnāt help but advise, "If youāre short on cash, I have some savings, you can borrow first."
She assumed Lin Xi had just graduated and returned from abroad, so he was temporarily in need of money in Chuzhou City.
"No need to trouble Sister Yi, I can handle it myself!" Lin Xi was embarrassed to admit, his need for money wasnāt like othersā.
"Then you..." Xi Xiaoyi thought for a moment but didnāt say anything, she felt she couldnāt quite fathom this newcomer.
Lin Xi smiled without speaking, but thought of what Wang Wudao had just told him; he was actually just inviting him to watch the underground fight championships at the beginning of next month.
It was hinted that the championship was just a gimmick; the real spectacle was a grand gamble involving all the underground forces of Chuzhou City, a genuine underground syndicate gathering.
Every year, at this time, quite a few kingpins would nearly lose their pants, even losing their territories outright.
But for Dark Night Sect, it was a rare opportunity to gain fame.
Besides, Lin Xi thought about the more than 80 million in his card, which hadnāt even warmed up before disappearing, making him more determined to check it out.
"Xiaolin, what are you thinking about?" asked Xi Xiaoyi, driving.
Lin Xi snapped out of it, stared at her and said, "Iām thinking about Sister Yi."
"..." Xi Xiaoyi was first stunned, then blushed slightly and cursed, "Be serious!"
"Really thinking, why donāt you come over and touch here, lying makes my heart race!" Lin Xi earnestly pointed at his chest.
Xi Xiaoyi held her forehead, "Do you really think Iām a three-year-old child, so easy to deceive?"
"In my heart, Sister Yi is like a three-year-old, one I want to keep there forever!" Lin Xi said.
Hearing this, Xi Xiaoyi suddenly felt warm inside, but moments later she became a bit sad, "Xiaolin, you donāt mind that Iām not as pure as you imagine, do you? Iām already a single mom with a kid."
"If I had met you earlier, it would have been so good, that incident wouldnāt have happened with anyone else..."
"Earlier, I was still a kid, Sister Yi has hobbies of loving young ones!" Lin Xi said.
"Pfft~"
Feeling a bit down, Xi Xiaoyi couldnāt help but laugh.
But this time Lin Xi didnāt laugh; instead, he spoke solemnly, "Iāve never minded about Sister Yi. In my view, youāre much purer than many others."
"Moreover, Sister Yiās child is my child, my child, whom I would naturally love dearly."
"Pfft~"
Xi Xiaoyi couldnāt help but laugh again and immediately teased, "Youāve got pretty thoughts, I havenāt agreed yet, and youāre already taking advantage? Seems youāre not a good guy, being all flirty, Iāll have to reconsider!"
"No, no, no, Sister Yi, I was wrong!" Lin Xi quickly replied.
The two bantered and joked all the way until Xi Xiaoyi stopped the car in front of a high-end kindergarten.
