Chapter 553
Chapter 553: – Asserting Dominance
Early morning. Lin Jin and Xia Tian were already awake at around seven.
Lin Jin had been sleeping well lately, so occasionally getting up an hour or two earlier wasn’t a big deal. She yawned, washed her face, and felt much more awake.
Xia Tian started busying around to make her breakfast as usual.
Getting up at seven was a bit early. Even though Xia Tian had finished cooking, Lin Jin had taken a quick shower, and they both ate, it was still only a little after eight. There was still half an hour before they had to leave.
“Lin Jin, you’re really going to go with me?”
After breakfast, Xia Tian put on a light jacket and tied his belt. He sighed, turning to look at Lin Jin sitting on the sofa.
“Go! Why wouldn’t I go?”
Lin Jin lifted her head and glanced at Xia Tian, then pouted her lips: “I want to see all these male and female buddies of yours.”
“They’re really just friends.” Xia Tian let out a bitter smile. “Look at you. If you run over like this, wouldn’t I look bad?”
“How would you look bad? I’m just showing everyone that you’re my boyfriend, is that a problem?” Lin Jin rolled her eyes and stood up, then tugged at the pajamas on her body. “I’m going to change. Wait for me.”
“Alright.”
Xia Tian sighed, standing by the door and waiting for Lin Jin to finish changing.
After a bit, Lin Jin slowly walked back out. Xia Tian glanced over at her and suddenly froze, staring straight at Lin Jin.
Currently, Lin Jin had specially put on a leather jacket and leather pants. She also had her hair tied up in a high ponytail, looking very like a domineering big sister style.
“Why did you put on makeup?” Xia Tian eyed her up and down, then suddenly pursed his lips and said “Such hot weather, isn’t a leather jacket and pants too stuffy?”
“What’s wrong with wearing makeup? It’s pretty!” Lin Jin looked at Xia Tian and even did a spin. She felt quite good about herself and boasted “I think it’s quite good, and then paired with high heels! It’s a perfect royal sister style. Once all of those girls with indecent thoughts towards you see me, they’ll immediately back off!”
“And it’s not hot at all! I feel pretty good, isn’t it also not sunny out today?” Lin Jin huffed “I think it’s pretty good, so let’s just go with this!”
“Fine fine fine. Anybody who doesn’t know you might think you’re crazy, or maybe they’d think you’re playing an S.” Xia Tian opened the door and continued to say “To be honest, if you also had a whip right now, I’d think you were going to drag me into some SM play.”
Xia Tian suddenly paused and then turned his head back to look at the slightly confused Lin Jin.
Speaking of which, Lin Jin had tied him up before, right? Plus, she did seem to like wearing leather jackets and pants… She wouldn’t really do S, right?
“What are you looking at me for? Let’s go.” Lin Jin gave him a glare.
Xia Tian put his shoes on in despair, feeling more and more that his future life might not be easy.
The two of them walked downstairs side by side, only to run into Lin Jin’s mom coming up.
“Lin Jin? What are you doing?” When her mom saw the two of them, she curiously looked over “Lin Jin, aren’t you off from school today?”
“I’m sending Xia Tian to work. I’ll be back around eleven.” Lin Jin said with a grin, clinging sweetly to Xia Tian’s arm.
Xia Tian shivered, suspecting Lin Jin had ulterior motives.
“Then you go ahead. I’ll wait for you to come back for lunch. Is he coming back at noon?” Lin Jin’s mom turned her attention to Xia Tian.
Xia Tian immediately shook his head: “Auntie, I eat outside for lunch, there’s no lunch break.”
“Oh.” Lin Jin’s mom looked at her with some confusion and asked “You send him off to work every day?”
“Yeah.” Lin Jin quickly nodded and tightly hugged Xia Tian’s arm, acting as if they were inseparable.
“Okay, give me the keys. I’ll make lunch.”
After getting away from her mom, Lin Jin finally let out a sigh of relief, but saw Xia Tian was confused and looking at her.
Lin Jin smiled and explained: “I didn’t want my mom to know that I was going to check out your girl friends. What if my mom starts disliking you?”
Xia Tian scratched his head and asked in confusion: “It’s not like that, they’re just friends, and I’m not even that close to them. At most, just two could be considered buddies, why do you seem convinced that I’m cheating?”
“How so! Isn’t this me trusting you!”
“This is called trusting me?”
Xia Tian speechlessly rolled his eyes at Lin Jin.
Because it was during the National Day holiday, at least a third of the students in this college area had gone home. Plus, it was only 8:30 in the morning and most of the college students, who were finally on break, were still sleeping in. So there were very few students outside taking the bus.
After riding the bus for half an hour, Lin Jin and Xia Tian arrived at the hotel.
The hotel was near Wanda, about two to three kilometers away. The hotel was five stories tall and looked very fancy from the outside. The surrounding parking lot was packed with cars and customers were plentiful. Business looked great.
“Okay, we’re here.” Xia Tian stood at the main entrance, then turned to look at Lin Jin. “What now?”
“You still have ten minutes before you start work, right, so take me to get to know your friends!” Lin Jin quickly moved forward and with a smile, stuck herself to his arm. “Let’s go! Tell me which female friends you have that want to chase you. I’ll go meet them all.”
“Not many, just one.” Xia Tian helplessly said “Just one of them who straight up gave me a gift seems to be into me, but I rejected her. The rest are really just normal friends. Normally at work, we barely even really talk.”
“Which one?”
“Her.”
Xia Tian pointed over to the front desk, at a girl wearing a standard customer service smile on her face.
This girl looked as if she was just in highschool. Noticing Xia Tian, she immediately stood up and waved at him.
Xia Tian sighed and pulled Lin Jin over to the counter.
“Xia Tian, introduce her to me.” Lin Jin had a magnanimous look on her face as she looked at the girl behind the desk. She smiled and casually introduced herself “Hello. I’m Lin Jin, Xia Tian’s girlfriend.”
“Ah?”
The girl blankly stared at Lin Jin, then at Xia Tian, and said in surprise: “This is my first time hearing that Xia Tian has a girlfriend.”
“I’ve had one for a long time.” Xia Tian introduced with a bitter smile “This is the hotel’s receptionist, Chen Cheng. We get along okay.”
“Oh~ Sister, I heard you tried to chase my family’s Xia Tian?” Lin Jin slightly narrowed her eyes at this girl named Chen Cheng.
That girl looked full of embarrassment. She really hadn’t known Xia Tian had a girlfriend, and she had even gotten found out. Even though she and Xia Tian didn’t really have any relations, she had chased him before and got rejected, she actually still secretly had hope.
“That uh, back then, I didn’t know he had a girlfriend.” Chen Cheng awkwardly looked at Lin Jin “If I had known, I definitely wouldn’t have tried…”
“You see, I already told you there’s nothing going on. It’s just normal friends.” Xia Tian turned his head to Lin Jin and shrugged “But you wouldn’t believe me.”
“It’s not that I don’t believe you, who knows how many girls like you? Me doing this is just giving them a warning. If they’re not as beautiful as me, then they’d better leave you alone.” Lin Jin let out a huff.
“Alright, enough. I’m guessing that by tomorrow, everyone in the hotel will know that my girlfriend came over to assert her dominance.” Xia Tian sighed and looked at Chen Cheng “Right? Big mouth Chen Cheng?”
“I’m not a big mouth, okay?” Chen Cheng wanted to protest, but her voice became smaller and smaller. “It’s just that my mouth is a bit fast sometimes…”
“Isn’t that perfect?”
Lin Jin rolled her eyes at Xia Tian.
