Chapter 370: Chapter 370: Acceptance
Sun Xiaohu saw that the situation was not right. His face was gloomy as he fixedly stared at the suddenly appearing Chen Yixun.
"How much?" Sun Xiaohu suddenly said.
"What?" Chen Yixun was momentarily stunned and didnât catch on.
With a disdainful look, Sun Xiaohu said, "Iâm asking how much it will cost for you to leave Han Xiaoxiao."
Chen Yixun looked at Sun Xiaohu as if he were looking at an idiot. Was this fool trying to bribe him with money?
"I admit Han Xiaoxiao is indeed good, but making an enemy out of me for such a woman is not a wise choice!" Sun Xiaohu said coldly, "Today I must take Han Xiaoxiao with me. If you know whatâs good for you, name your price."
Chen Yixun sneered, "You mean if I name a price, youâll let me leave Han Xiaoxiao?"
"Looks like youâre not stupid!" Sun Xiaohu took out a check from his pocket. It was written for one hundred thousand yuan, "Hereâs one hundred thousand yuan, enough for a poor guy like you to enjoy himself."
Sun Xiaohu, imitating the actions heâd seen on TV, thought signing a check was very cool. He was certain the poor chap in front of him could not resist the temptation of one hundred thousand yuan!
"Are you insulting me?" Chen Yixun snapped, "One hundred thousand yuan? What a joke!"
"One hundred thousand is not enough? How about two hundred thousand?" Sun Xiaohu took out another check and said, "Think carefully. With this two hundred thousand, I can let bygones be bygones, but if you refuse... remember, I, Sun Xiaohu, am not a vegetarian!"
A slight smile appeared on Chen Yixunâs lips, "Oh really, in your heart, is Han Xiaoxiao worth only two hundred thousand?"
"So what if she is? So what if she isnât!" Sun Xiaohu said, "What does that have to do with a poor boy like you?"
Without wasting words, Chen Yixun immediately took out his phone, "Third Brother, someone here with two hundred thousand is trying to act the big shot in front of me. Everyone, get over here!"
After putting down the phone, Chen Yixun said coldly, "Donât talk about a mere two hundred thousand, even two million wonât do! In my heart, Xiaoxiao is priceless. Sheâs not someone that dirty people like you can touch!"
Turning to Han Xiaoxiao, Chen Yixun earnestly continued, "Xiaoxiao, Iâve liked you for a long time, but back then it was just a crush, as I didnât truly know you! Itâs only recently that Iâve come to understand the difficulties in your life, your hardships, your strength, and your grievances!"
Chen Yixun took out a pair of couple bracelets from his pocket, "These bracelets were bought with the money I earned from my half-month of part-time work. Through this half month, Iâve come to understand you more and like you even more! I know my behavior was indeed juvenile before, and itâs normal that you didnât like me! But I want to tell you that I like you, and I will prove by actions that I, Chen Yixun, am a man worth relying on, not just a coward hiding under my parentsâ protection!"
Looking at the wounds on Chen Yixunâs hands, Han Xiaoxiao was somewhat at a loss. She had not liked Chen Yixunâs frivolousness before, nor his cynical attitude. But now as he gradually shed that showy exterior, should she accept him?
"I wonât force you to like me!" Chen Yixun said earnestly, "Iâm giving you these bracelets because they were bought with the first money Iâve earned through my efforts. To me, this marks a new beginning, and this rebirth, youâve given it to me! Iâm giving it to you in the hope that youâll hold hands with the boy you truly like. Of course, I long for the day I can wear it, but... for now, I donât want to make it difficult for you!"
Chen Yixunâs heartfelt confession caused the surrounding girls to have their eyes well up with tears involuntarily.

Looking at the couple bracelets, Han Xiaoxiao looked up at Chen Yixun again, and the coldness on her face slowly gave way to a smile, "Chen Yixun, you might have only seen the good side of me, but can you tolerate my bad temper too?"
Chen Yixunâs heart skipped a beat, and he nodded frantically, "I like you, I like all of you! I want to be there for you in the future. I know my promises right now arenât powerful, but I hope you give me a chance! I will prove it with actions!"
Han Xiaoxiao took the bracelet and wrapped one around her own wrist, then picked up the other, pulled Chen Yixunâs hand, and slowly wound it around.
Chen Yixunâs eyes bulged with disbelief. He couldnât believe Han Xiaoxiao was truly accepting him!
"I need a shoulder to lean on. I didnât accept you before because you lacked a sense of responsibility, a lack of maturity! Now I think I can give you a chance!" Han Xiaoxiao said.
Chen Yixun, holding Han Xiaoxiaoâs hand, said earnestly, "Donât worry, Xiaoxiao, the hardships youâve endured in the past, I will compensate with ten times the sweetness in the future! Now... leave this matter to me!"
"Hmph, a few hundred yuan for a bracelet and sheâs bought! Thatâs truly disappointing!" Han Fei said coldly, "Han Xiaoxiao, if you donât leave with us today, I wonât show any mercy anymore!"
At that moment, several car sounds came from afar, and then several young men pushed their way through.
"Brother Chen, is that idiot trying to act tough in front of you?" One of the young men with a suitcase said as he came in.
Chen Yixun said, "Sanzi, over here!"
He took the suitcase from Sanziâs hands and threw it in front of Han Fei: "Hereâs compensation for your travel expenses. Get out of here before my patience runs out. If you dare to bother my girlfriend again, I wonât be so nice!"
Han Fei looked at Chen Yixun skeptically, then opened the suitcase, which was filled with brand new large bills.
"This... these..." Han Fei was somewhat flustered, the cash drew his gaze like a magnet.
"This is half a million!" Chen Yixun said coldly, "Comparing wealth? I, Chen Yixun, have never been afraid of anyone! Iâve been pursuing Han Xiaoxiao for two years. If she were really the gold-digger you claim she is, do you think sheâd be worth my pursuit? And let me tell you something, whether you want to confront me openly or in the shadows, I, Chen Yixun, am up for the challenge. But remember this, no more harassing my girlfriend! I have a bad temper, I hope you remember that!"
The half a million had completely deflated Sun Xiaohuâs arrogance. His family had a total of only twenty million in assets; pulling out two hundred thousand to show off was already Sun Xiaohuâs limit. But the guy before him, clad in what appeared to be cheap clothing, casually took out half a million without a blink!
"Alright, alright, we will absolutely not bother Han Xiaoxiao anymore!" Han Fei clung to the suitcase, revealing a sycophantic smile, "Actually, Iâm already divorced from Han Xiaoxiaoâs mom. I promise I wonât bother you again!"
For Han Fei, having "sold" his daughter for over half a million, he was quite satisfied!
As for Sun Xiaohu, he took a fearful glance at Chen Yixun and meekly followed Han Fei, slinking away.
"This half a million..." Han Xiaoxiao frowned.
Chen Yixun said with a pained expression, "I borrowed it from my dad, and Iâve already made a promissory note. Starting tomorrow, Iâm going to gradually take over the family business and work hard to pay off this debt!"
Having said this, Chen Yixun held Han Xiaoxiaoâs hand tightly, "Xiaoxiao, please believe in me, our future will definitely be a beautiful one!"
