100% Love from the Boss

Chapter 269 To Be Single Again

When they went back to A City, Xia Xiaoluo wanted to go to her school and live there instead of going home on Ling Tianyi’s car.

Ling Tianyi sighed and said to Xia Xiaoluo helplessly, “You don’t have to go to your school in a hurry. What’s more, even if we will live separately for a period of time, you should go home to pack your things up first because there are no clothes in your dormitory. I will never break my words, and I will send you to school later.”

Xia Xiaoluo thought it over for a while, and then she agreed and got on Ling Tianyi’s car.

The driver was driving the car in the front, Xia Xiaoluo and Ling Tianyi sat at the back seat. Ling Tianyi always took the opportunity to flirt with Xia Xiaoluo before. But this time, he behaved like a gentleman and kept delighting Xia Xiaoluo, chatting with her and asking her to look at the interesting buildings and scenery on the way.

However, only Ling Tianyi was talking, Xia Xiaoluo just responded to him simply, which disappointed Ling Tianyi. While Ling Tianyi felt disappointed, Xia Xiaoluo wasn’t calm either.

After returning to their villa, Ling Tianyi hoped that Xia Xiaoluo could stay for a while and have dinner with him. But Xia Xiaoluo insisted on packing her things up and leave immediately. Ling Tianyi didn’t force her for fear that she would get angry.

Xia Xiaoluo just took some cheap clothes, leaving the other clothes and the jewelry Ling Tianyi that bought for her. What was more, she also left the specially made wedding ring that Ling Tianyi gave her.

Before Xia Xiaoluo left, she put the credit card Ling Tianyi gave her on the tea table, “I don’t need this anymore.”

Seeing that Xia Xiaoluo only brought a small bag with her, Ling Tianyi was heartbroken. “Take this card, you are just an undergraduate who needs money.”

“Now that I’m not your wife anymore, I can work as a part-time job student to earn money by myself and you have no right to interfere with it.” Xia Xiaoluo lowered her head and said. She was really reluctant to leave this home and Ling Tianyi, but she really wanted to get married aboveboard instead of doing it secretly or in a hurry.

“I respect your decision, but this card belongs to you, I only keep the card temporarily. I will give it back to you when you agree to marry me one day.” Ling Tianyi dared not to force Xia Xiaoluo, so he just followed her requests. He could tolerate Xia Xiaoluo’s temper, waiting for her coming back home after calming down.

“But you have to bring some money with you, or you can’t have meals.” Ling Tianyi took a stack of money out of his wallet, wanting to give Xia Xiaoluo.

“No! I can work to make a living by myself! I have told you that!” Xia Xiaoluo refused Ling Tianyi directly.

“Well, even though you can find a job today, you will get your salary next month! How can you live these days? Will you live on air?” Ling Tianyi said and put the money in Xia Xiaoluo’s bag.

Xia Xiaoluo stopped Ling Tianyi at once and said, “I can borrow some money from my schoolmates!”

“You can borrow it from me first!” Ling Tianyi insisted because he would worry about Xia Xiaoluo if she did not take the money. Xia Xiaoluo was always stingy, she was weak and she just had a miscarriage, so Ling Tianyi feared that she would only eat the cheap food in order to save money.

“I am just lending it to you, not giving! You can return it to me when you get your salary! If you still don’t believe me, just write a receipt for a loan and I will give it back to you when you return the money to me! OK?” Ling Tianyi begged Xia Xiaoluo to borrow money from him repeatedly. He must be the most humble creditor.

“Well, I will borrow 300 yuan from you! Let me write a receipt for a loan!” Xia Xiaoluo said reluctantly. In fact, she was really short of money except that Ling Tianyi could lend money to her. Even though she could borrow money from her friends, she wouldn’t make it because Dou Ya was always very poor. Luo Xixi was rich, but Xia Xiaoluo was reluctant to borrow money from her again and again.

“300 yuan? It’s not enough! I will lend you 30 thousand yuan!” Ling Tianyi offered that number because he knew that Xia Xiaoluo would bargain with him. What was more, in his opinion, 300 yuan was not enough for a meal.

“I could not return so much money to you. It will be difficult for me to save 30 thousand yuan even though I keep working for the whole year! 300 yuan is enough for me because I will use it carefully.” Xia Xiaoluo insisted.

“OK, I will lend you 10 thousand yuan at least! Or you can’t live!” Ling Tianyi compromised.

“500 yuan! I don’t want to borrow so much money!” Xia Xiaoluo began to bargain with Ling Tianyi.

“5000 yuan!” Ling Tianyi continued to compromise.

“No! It’s too much! If you insist, I won’t borrow money from you, and I will borrow money from my friends!” Xia Xiaoluo said unhappily.

Well, I will lend you 1000 yuan and you can definitely earn so much in one month. Take it in case something will happen!” Ling Tianyi finally surrendered.

At last, Xia Xiaoluo borrowed 1000 yuan from Ling Tianyi and she decided to return him in two months after finding a job.

Xia Xiaoluo wrote a receipt for a loan which was non-standard in Ling Tianyi’s eyes because there were only Arabic numbers without any numerals in capitals. However, Ling Tianyi didn’t care about it at all, because he only wanted to lend Xia Xiaoluo money. In fact, he even hoped that Xia Xiaoluo wouldn’t return the money to him because it meant that they would get closer.

Ling Tianyi drove to send Xia Xiaoluo to school. Xia Xiaoluo said on the way, “I take the clothes and the bag you bought for me. Because you threw my clothes and luggage away. I did not take them on purpose.”

Ling Tianyi disliked Xia Xiaoluo’s words because she regarded him as an outsider. However, Ling Tianyi dared not to lose his temper again for fear that Xia Xiaoluo would stay far away from him. Therefore, like a man wooing her, he had to behave like that.

“Take them as compensation for your own clothes and luggage.” Ling Tianyi said for fear that Xia Xiaoluo would give the clothes and bag back to him as well. It would make him crazy.

Xia Xiaoluo did not say anything, but Ling Tianyi kept asking her to pay attention to the safety and not to believe anyone so easily.

Finally, he sent Xia Xiaoluo to the dormitory. Xia Xiaoluo went upstairs by herself. Lin Tianyi could do nothing but he didn’t want to leave school. Therefore, he went to meet the headmaster and asked him to care about Xia Xiaoluo. He asked the headmaster to contact him at the first time if something happened to Xia Xiaoluo.

Xia Xiaoluo was busy packing her things up. Luo Xixi wasn’t curious about why Xia Xiaoluo came back suddenly. Luo Xixi just said to Xia Xiaoluo lightly, “Now that you come back, I won’t eat instant noodles anymore.”

Xia Xiaoluo sighed, “You only care about eating! I have no money now, so I can’t buy expensive food for you! If I cook food, I will only cook the vegetables! What’s more, I will do a part-time job to earn money, so I won’t cook every meal for you!”

“Xiaoluo, don’t be so stingy! I will pay for it, and you cook it for me, OK? We can share it. I’m not a rabbit, so I want to eat some meat! I won’t eat if you only cook vegetables! I would rather eat instant noodles!” Luo Xixi protested at once.

At this time, Xia Xiaoluo’s mobile phone rang, and it was Ling Tianyi. Xia Xiaoluo picked it up after she hesitated for a while.

“Xiaoluo, how is it going now? Is there anything I can help you with?” Ling Tianyi asked gently.

“Thank you! Don’t bother! I can do it on my own!” Xia Xiaoluo answered Ling Tianyi politely, which disappointed Ling Tianyi, he felt uncomfortable.

“If you have time now, I’d like to invite you to dinner!” Ling Tianyi checked the time, it was over 5 o’clock in the evening, and he thought that it was time for dinner.

“I... I... It has been several days since school began, so I have to borrow the notes from Luo Xixi for fear that I could not catch up with the others!” Xia Xiaoluo refused Ling Tianyi with an unreasonable excuse.

Ling Tianyi didn’t believe Xia Xiaoluo because she would never take the initiative to study. However, he didn’t expose her lie, instead, he said to Xia Xiaoluo directly, “Studying is so boring! Let’s have dinner first and then play with fireworks! It will be interesting and you must like it!”

Ling Tianyi was wooing Xia Xiaoluo, so he was gentle and respectful. Being in a panic, Xia Xiaoluo knew that Ling Tianyi wouldn’t believe her, but she really didn’t want to have dinner with him. Therefore, she made another excuse, “I’m a little tired today, so I will have a rest in my dormitory to get over jet lag.”

In Xia Xiaoluo’s opinion, it was a reasonable excuse for “getting over jet lag”. What was more, she was really tired in mind and body after the long flight.

“But you have to eat something before you get over jet lag. Let’s eat something near your school and I will send you back quickly. How do you think about it?” Ling Tianyi begged Xia Xiaoluo, but Xia Xiaoluo refused him reluctantly.

Ling Tianyi dared not to force Xia Xiaoluo, so he gave up, only looking at the light in her dormitory.

Ling Tianyi didn’t dare to go home because it was too quiet there. He would feel lonely, uncomfortable and depressed without Xia Xiaoluo.

Ling Tianyi parked his car outside Xia Xiaoluo’s dormitory and slept in the car for the whole night. When Xia Xiaoluo went to attend classes the next morning, she noticed Ling Tianyi’s car, but she didn’t know whether he has stayed there for the whole night or he came early in the morning.

“Good morning!” Ling Tianyi said hello to Xia Xiaoluo excitedly at once when he saw her.

“Good morning!” Xia Xiaoluo answered Ling Tianyi awkwardly.

“Are you going to attend classes? Have you had your breakfast? Let’s eat something together because you’d study better when you are full! Or it will be bad for your health!” Ling Tianyi said enthusiastically.

“I had breakfast just now.” Xia Xiaoluo said, but actually, she just had some instant noodles of Luo Xixi last night and this morning, because there was no food except that. Even though instant noodles didn’t taste good, Xia Xiaoluo was still satisfied because she was not picky.

“Did you eat instant noodles?” Ling Tianyi guessed so because Xia Xiaoluo has stayed in her dormitory all the time, so she could only eat the instant noodles, the only food Luo Xixi could eat in their dormitory. What was more, Xia Xiaoluo wouldn’t order the takeout, because the food near the school was so expensive.

“I’m OK! I’m going to be late, so I have to leave now. Bye!” Xia Xiaoluo said and ran to the teaching building quickly, going around Ling Tianyi.

“Manager Ling, I’m sorry that we only had instant noodles. If you worry about Xiaoluo, just order a delicious takeout for us at noon!” Luo Xixi ridiculed and followed Xia Xiaoluo with her laptop.

“I will treat you for lunch!” Ling Tianyi shouted at the back of Xia Xiaoluo and Luo Xixi. He wanted Xia Xiaoluo to eat well, so he would take the opportunity to order some delicious and nutritious food for Xia Xiaoluo because Luo Xixi invited him.

Xia Xiaoluo went to attend classes, Ling Tianyi went to arrange the lunch even though he hasn’t had his dinner or breakfast. Ling Tianyi ordered some nutritious food and dishes that Xia Xiaoluo liked, and he ordered that those dishes must be sent to Xia Xiaoluo’s dormitory before 12 o’clock.
