My Wife is a Goddess: 99 Secret Kisses-Chapter 34 TIT FOR TAT PART 7
Xue Lin didn't know his real identity. She had no hidden intention when she defended him. She was stoic and always put on a poker face. But Ge Chen realized that she deeply cared about those who were close to her. Behind this unfriendly appearance she had a warm heart. She knew how to nurture relationships. That's why, those who were close to her, they couldn't help but like her.
Ge Chen recalled the time when he met her first.
A year ago, at Blue Stone Bar, Ge Chen's best friend Mu Liang took him there. Their plan was to go somewhere else but Mu Liang's wife got drunk. After hearing that, he became restless. So, he dragged his friend Ge Chen to the bar. Their friend Lu Feng was also with them.
Xue Lin was a friend of Mu Liang's wife, his brother Mu Feng's ex-girlfriend and Lu Feng's crush. After three men took away their drunk women, Xue Lin was left alone. She was too drunk to move.
Mu Liang, Mu Feng and Lu Feng were Ge Chen's friends. He didn't want the friend of his friends' lovers to face any danger. He walked closer and sat beside her. He sat in the dark corner so that others wouldn't notice. He ordered a cocktail for him and Mu Liang's bodyguard Hugo who was accompanying him. Hugo sat separately. He didn't want to sit beside his boss's friend.
Ge Chen sipped his yellow cocktail and observed the girl next to him. The ponytailed Xue Lin wasn't wearing any revealing clothes like her friends or the other girls around her. She wore a white t-shirt and a black skirt covering her thighs.
She was unexpectedly skinny. Her skin was pure white jade and she had long brown hair. The attractive part of her was her red lips. They looked inviting. Her pale face was slightly flushed as if she didn't drink much, still, she looked pitiful. Her glasses were too large for her face. She looked out of place. Her appearance was totally different from the women around him.
As he was checking her out, his cell phone rang. The sound woke up Xue Lin. She slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes were sleepy and yet sharp.
The moment he laid his eyes on her eyes, she froze. Her eyes were grey, just like his. He realized why she wore glass. Her eyes were very attractive and they caught people's attention.
Xue Lin looked at the unknown person beside her. She was startled. She wanted to sit up properly but as her head was still dizzy, her body wobbled.
Ge Chen caught her left arm in time and helped her sit properly. He said, "Be careful."
Hearing such a calm tone, Xue Lin looked at him properly. She saw a handsome face with black hair, fierce Grey eyes, sharp nose, and thin pale lips. His eyes were glittering in amusement.
Xue Lin was drunk, but she was still Xue Lin. She frowned and asked, "What's so funny?"
Ge Chen's right eyebrow rose up. He realized that her observation skill was still working though she was drunk. He said, "I'm not smiling."
"Your eyes are smiling." Xue Lin pointed out.
Ge Chen put his left hand under his left cheek as he looked at the girl next to him. He said, "You are pretty blunt."
"You are a quiet person." Xue Lin was becoming alert. She was fighting hard to come out of her drunken state. To her, the guy sitting next to her was unknown and suspicious.
Ge Chen's grey eyes smiled even more as they shone in the light of the chandelier.
She looked around but didn't see her friends. She asked, "Where are my friends?" Xue Lin acted casual but right now she was afraid to die.
He put down his empty glass and replied, "Three of them were taken away by their boyfriends. Don't worry, they are safe." He stood up and asked, "What will you do? Do you want me to help you to take you home?"
Meanwhile, Xue Lin tried to call her friends but no one answered. She slowly stood up as well. She shook her head and left the place as soon as possible. She grabbed a taxi and drove away.
Ge Chen glanced at Hugo and told him to follow her taxi. He followed her until she reached the campus.
Hugo asked, "Should I take you to the hotel?"
Ge Chen was still looking at her back as she walked away and said, "OK."
'It was really an interesting night.' He thought.
This girl completely ignored him that night. He thought it might be a random meeting of two people. He never thought that he would meet her once again at a birthday party.
