Suppressing the Protagonist in the Start to Seize the Heroine

Chapter 88: A Trip to Donghai Together

Shortly after Lin Guoqiang turned away, Lin Xiaowan opened the car door and stepped out. She straightened her clothes that Su Lin had ruffled.

Su Lin, if you mess up my clothes again, youre in big trouble, she warned him.

Su Lin grinned awkwardly, Xiaowan, I didnt do it on purpose.

Hmph! Stop explaining, I dont want to hear it.

Su Lin admired the beautiful Lin Xiaowan in front of him, thinking that if Lin Guoqiang suddenly appeared and saw this scene, he would either be furious or give Su Lin a good beating. After all, Lin Guoqiang was incredibly protective of his daughter.

Noticing that the lights were on in Lin Xiaowans house, Su Lin remarked, Xiaowan, it seems like your house lights are on.

Eh! They really are. I should go now, or my dad will freak out if he sees us, she replied.

Su Lin chuckled, I find your dads protective nature kind of cute.

Thats because you havent seen him angry. When hes mad, no one dares to breathe around him, she replied.

Su Lin nodded, understanding the gravity of a mayors anger and presence. Su Lin, Im going inside now.

Su Lin waved, Go ahead, remember to think of me.

I will, she replied, smiling.

After watching Lin Xiaowan enter her building, Su Lin drove away. Lin Xiaowan felt nervous as she opened the door to her home.

Xiaowan, youre back. Have you had dinner? Wang Xiaoqian asked as soon as Lin Xiaowan entered.

Lin Guoqiang grumbled, Its so late, she must have had dinner, and probably with that Su Lin kid.

Lin Xiaowan grinned at her father, Dad, I would like to have dinner at home, but there needs to be dinner to eat.

Lin Guoqiang was momentarily speechless. Xiaowan, I got home at six today.

But youre rarely home early. I hardly ever see you.

Lin Guoqiang sighed, knowing his job didnt allow him to spend much time at home.

Lin Xiaowan was surprised that her father didnt interrogate her more. She was prepared to admit to dating Su Lin if asked, thinking there was no harm in revealing it sooner or later. But Lin Guoqiang didnt pursue the matter.

Wang Xiaolian also sighed, knowing the challenges of their family. Lin Xiaowan was fortunate yet unfortunate to be born into such a family.

Her strong personality wouldnt allow her to live under her fathers shadow, and she deliberately chose a career in foreign trade to avoid any insinuations of favoritism. This had its toll on both Su Lin and Lin Xiaowan.

Wang Xiaolian was actually happy to know Su Lin and Lin Xiaowan were getting close, as it meant someone could bring happiness to her daughter.

Xiaowan, how did you do in the monthly exam? Lin Guoqiang changed the subject.

I did okay, still scored over seven hundred, she replied.

Alright, go study in your room, he said.

Okay~!!

The next day at school, it was evident that Ye Feng had been beaten up. His bandaged hand and the absence of Feng Yifei and Yan Huan indicated a fight. Without his protaganist aura, Ye Feng was left to the mercy of others, especially after his embarrassing frog jumping episode.

Feng Yifei and Yan Huan were called in by the police for questioning, as students have little resistance against police interrogation.

Feng Yifei was quickly betrayed and taken in for questioning. Ye Feng, seeing his classmates whispers, simply laughed at himself and focused on his studies, ignoring everything else.

Meanwhile, Su Lin was busy discussing university choices with Lin Xiaowan, as Yan Huan was absent. Su Lin took the opportunity to sit next to Lin Xiaowan with his books.

Lin Xiaowan tried to shoo him away several times, but Su Lin, unfazed, remained seated beside her. Xiaowan, which university are you planning to go to?

My parents hope I go to Qingmu University, Lin Xiaowan replied indifferently.

Su Lin nodded, With your grades, getting into Qingmu should be a breeze.

What about you, Su Lin?

Im planning to go to Donghai University.

Huh? Youre not going to Qingmu University? Lin Xiaowan asked, surprised.

Su Lin nodded, Yes, Qingmu is good, but I prefer Jiangnan, and I like Donghai more. Qingmu isnt the right fit for me.

Hmm, then I might as well go to Donghai University too, Lin Xiaowan said, looking at Su Lin tenderly.

Su Lin looked at her wide-eyed, You were planning on Qingmu, right?

Thats what my parents wanted, not me, Lin Xiaowan clarified.

Do you have a university you want to attend?

I didnt before. I just thought attending the best university in the country would be good enough. But now its different; I want to go to Donghai University, Lin Xiaowan gazed at Su Lin, her eyes filled with affection.

Su Lin gently held Lin Xiaowans hand, Are you serious about going to Donghai with me? Your parents might argue with you about this.

Lin Xiaowan shook her head, They wont argue with me. Like you said, my dad hasnt been involved in my life for eighteen years. Now, he cant dictate my life, and I wont allow it.

If you hadnt appeared in my life, maybe I would have followed my dads plan. But now that youre here, everything is different.

Su Lin sighed inwardly. Lin Xiaowan had been the director of the Donghai City Investment Office in the original story, so without any interference, she would indeed have followed a career in government, as planned by her father.

But with Su Lins influence, she was likely to choose a path in business. When a woman loves, she loves deeply, he thought.

[Lin Xiaowan: 17 years old, 168 cm, 48 kg, current affection level (99).].

Su Lin was surprised to see her affection level had reached 99, almost at full. It had been a while since he last checked, and he didnt expect it to be this high now.

Gently squeezing her hand, Su Lin asked, Wont you regret it, Xiaowan? University is a crucial part of our lives. Going to Donghai with me will change everything.

Lin Xiaowan earnestly replied, I wont. Id regret it if I didnt go with you. Is Xiaoyu going to Donghai University?

Su Lin nodded, She wants to study business administration there, to manage Yulin later.

That suits Xiaoyus character, Lin Xiaowan remarked.

What about you? What do you want to study?

Me? My dad wanted me to study history, but now I want to learn about business, and I also want to self-study computer science. You once said that the future belongs to computers.

Su Lin was surprised, Did I say that?

Lin Xiaowan nodded, You did, not long after we first met.

You still remember that? Su Lin was taken aback.

Yes, I remember all the things youve said.

Su Lin smiled playfully, Tell me honestly, did you start liking me back then?

Lin Xiaowan shook her head, How could that be? At that time, I just thought you were full of yourself. I decided it was better not to bother with someone so arrogant.

Hehe~! Then Im lucky. Otherwise, I wouldve missed out on such a great girlfriend.

He, thats mainly your own doing. If you hadnt impressed me time and again, I wouldnt have given my affection so easily.

There you go, getting all proud after a few compliments.
