Wholeheartedly Willing Chapter 30 and Chapter 31

 Chapter 30: I want her

Evening came, and after changing her clothes, Lin Xi went to the parking lot, expecting to see a familiar face of a driver waiting for her. However, to her surprise, both the car and the person were new.

“Are… are you Sister-in-law!?” The tall young man with thick lips looked at Lin Xi, his face full of undisguised admiration. “Sister-in-law, I’m here to pick you up on behalf of Brother Yu. From now on, I’ll be responsible for driving you, opening doors, carrying bags, and handing you water. Please don’t hesitate to ask me for anything!”

It felt like a family reunion.

The style of this young man seemed to be the complete opposite of someone else who rarely spoke. Even if he was just an underling, he was far from what Lin Xi had imagined. But as the saying goes, don’t bite the hand that feeds you, so Lin Xi nodded and politely smiled at the young man. “May I ask how I should address you?”

“I’m Jiang Ge, but Sister-in-law, you can call me anything you like!” Jiang Ge promptly opened the car’s rear door for Lin Xi. “Brother Yu said that if you want to go shopping or anywhere else, just find me. This car is specially prepared for you by him! Let me tell you, I’ve been with Brother Yu for over twenty years and I’ve never seen him care so much about anyone. Sister-in-law, rest assured, although Brother Yu has a face that attracts women, he truly has his heart set on you!”

“…”

Lin Xi suddenly felt a headache coming on. “Jiang Ge, focus on driving.”

Lin Xi pondered for a moment but realized she couldn’t come up with an answer.

After all, at that time, Yetan had mobilized almost all the girls to keep Yu Xiucheng, a big client, satisfied. Lin Xi had only recently joined Yetan and hadn’t put much effort into building a relationship with Manager Liu. She could only wear one of the remaining small ceremonial dresses and stand in the corner, waiting to be chosen.

Lin Xi still remembered when Manager Liu asked them to introduce themselves one by one. The girls pulled out all the stops, trying to leave a lasting impression on the wealthy client. However, the man on the couch kept playing with the lighter in his hand, never once lifting his head. The other boss beside him even gave Manager Liu a meaningful look.

Unfortunately, all the girls in Yetan already introduced themselves, and Manager Liu was powerless. He could only continue using eye signals to urge them to try harder.

“Hello, I’m Lin Xi.”

By the time it was Lin Xi’s turn, she was already feeling tired from standing, and her greeting sounded a bit weary. Manager Liu’s eyes shot daggers at her, but Lin Xi pretended not to see.

“Her.”

The man who had remained silent the entire evening suddenly spoke, surprising Manager Liu.

“What did you say?”

The man placed the lighter in his palm and slowly lifted his head, accurately spotting Lin Xi standing in the corner amidst the crowd.

“I want her.”

Compared to her as a person, Lin Xi felt that Yu Xiucheng seemed more drawn to her name.

“Jiu Jiu, Lin Xi, get ready. Mr. Li and Mr. Yu’s cars have already arrived.”

Du Xin’s voice from outside interrupted Lin Xi’s recollection. Jiu Jiu, who had chosen to wear a white tailcoat dress with an exposed back today, stood up and adjusted her skirt. “Then I’ll go first.”

“Okay.”

Lin Xi put her lipstick back into her makeup bag, lowered her head to put on her high heels, and prepared to push the door open. However, she realized she couldn’t move it.

She turned the doorknob and tried twice more, finally confirming that the door had been locked from the outside.

*******************

Chapter 31: Getting Off Work

“Good evening, Mr. Yu.”

In front of the familiar door stood a familiar waiter, who respectfully greeted the man and opened the door for him.

Yu Xiucheng entered, habitually unbuttoning his coat, but his peripheral vision caught sight of a girl in a white dress by the piano.

However, it wasn’t Lin Xi but a face he didn’t recognize. Yu Xiucheng paused in his actions, and his gaze suddenly turned cold. The girl smiled timidly at him and said, “Good evening, Mr. Yu.”

Yu Xiucheng furrowed his brows, and the coldness in his eyes intensified. The overwhelming oppressive feeling emanated from afar as he stared at her. Jiu Jiu immediately felt a chill run down her spine, but she tried even harder to display a sweet and innocent smile on her face. “I came today to thank you, Mr. Yu, for ordering a hundred glasses of champagne for Lin Xi at my birthday party. I also had the opportunity to have a few sips. So, I prepared a piece of music to give as a gift to…”

“No need,” Yu Xiucheng coldly interrupted her. “Leave.”

The girl seemed frightened by Yu Xiucheng’s attitude. She shrank back slightly, blinked her innocent big eyes a couple of times, and her smile became somewhat forced. “Mr. Yu, please don’t misunderstand. I didn’t mean anything else. I just wanted to thank you. I know you like Sister Lin Xi, and I also like her very much…”

Yu Xiucheng didn’t have the patience to repeat himself. He was about to call for Du Xin to deal with the situation when the girl who had been sitting at the piano suddenly stood up and ran to him. When she looked up at him, her eyes were already slightly red.

“Mr. Yu, please don’t tell Sister Xin. Actually, Lin Xi asked me to come here first. She’s with another boss right now. She said I should keep you company for a while. I’m sorry, Mr. Yu… I shouldn’t have lied to you… But if Sister Xin finds out about this, Lin Xi will definitely be punished.”

The girl’s acting skills were truly poor, like a poorly made imitation compared to someone naturally gifted in lies. Yu Xiucheng’s patience had already worn thin within her few sentences. He lifted his leg, ready to leave.

But Jiu Jiu clearly didn’t expect the man’s attitude to be so resolute. After all, since she joined Yetan, Jiu Jiu had always been successful in charming customers with her innocent appearance, making her even feel a sense of inflated confidence that no man could resist as long as she had red-rimmed eyes.

“Mr. Yu, please don’t go. Please, just listen to my final words, okay!”

Seeing that the man was about to push the door and leave, Jiu Jiu quickly and pitifully grabbed his sleeve.

“Actually, actually, I fell in love with you the first time I saw you… But, but I know you only like Sister Lin Xi. I don’t know why I’m saying all this, but I… I’ve also participated in piano competitions. I can do the things Lin Xi can do… I don’t want to live a hypocritical life anymore, accompanying other men and pretending to love them. Mr. Yu, just take a look at me, please…”

Yu Xiucheng pulled his sleeve out of the girl’s grasp, and the hostility in his eyes was like long-gathered dark clouds. Jiu Jiu stuttered and swallowed the words she hadn’t finished.

“Get lost.”

The beautiful girl instantly burst into tears, with teardrops the size of beans streaming down her reddened eyes. Yu Xiucheng had absolutely no interest in appreciating her poor acting skills. He raised his hand and pushed the door to leave.

However, the short and chubby man who had been waiting outside because Jiu Jiu never came out looked at the scene inside with a profoundly disappointed and heartbroken expression.

“So, being with me makes you so miserable, Jiu Jiu…”

Jiu Jiu also didn’t expect the man she referred to as “other men” to be standing outside the door. She wiped her tears with a wooden expression, and with her brain completely incapable of processing the imminent crisis, she timidly called out, “Uncle Li…”

Yu Xiucheng had no interest in the love-hate relationship between these two individuals, nor did he feel any patience for it. He turned his cold gaze directly to the dumbfounded waiter beside him. “Call Lin Xi over.”

The waiter was stunned, but after contacting Du Xin, he learned that Lin Xi was still locked in the dressing room, waiting for a locksmith to arrive. Du Xin politely apologized to Yu Xiucheng, unaware of what had happened inside. “I’m truly sorry, Mr. Yu. It seems there’s a problem with the lock in the dressing room, and Lin Xi got locked inside. We’ve already called a locksmith. Tonight, all your drinks are on me. I hope you understand.”

Within a few steps towards the door, Yu Xiucheng had already estimated the limit of the door’s strength. The door that the waiter and Du Xin couldn’t budge for half an hour made a loud noise and swung open in a shaky manner.

“Come out.”

atOptions = { ‘key’ : ‘819083b5141e2ddc81cd1b66b82e3d92’, ‘format’ : ‘iframe’, ‘height’ : 250, ‘width’ : 300, ‘params’ : {} }; document.write(”);

“Mr. Yu?”

Lin Xi stood up, a bit surprised but also not entirely surprised by the man retracting his leg outside the door.

After all, locking the door like this with Jiu Jiu was clearly a passionate crime, and the sequence of events could be easily deduced. The only troubling thing for Lin Xi was whether it was necessary to call Yu Xiucheng and explain the situation over such trivial matters.

To put it bluntly, what if they really got together? It would be a bad situation.

Seeing that the woman in the dressing room was not moving, Yu Xiucheng simply walked in. “Didn’t you hear me? Come out.”

The already small dressing room felt even more cramped with the presence of the tall man. Due to the heavy atmosphere emanating from him, Du Xin was forced to stay outside the room, watching from a distance.

“What’s wrong?”

Lin Xi, on the other hand, wasn’t too afraid of Yu Xiucheng’s current demeanor. Compared to the time he actually pulled out a gun and killed someone, his current furrowed brow appeared much milder.

She reached out and playfully hugged the man’s waist, then rubbed her chin against his chest. “Why are you angry again, hmm?”

Yu Xiucheng wasn’t one to easily fall for her coquettishness, and Lin Xi knew that. But she also knew that there was a saying: “The soft overcomes the hard.”

As long as she softened her attitude, Yu Xiucheng couldn’t raise a hand against someone who was smiling.

“I’m sorry, okay? I made you wait again today. Please forgive me, hmm?”

With a soft voice and sweet words, she coaxed him, not mentioning a word about Jiu Jiu. Yu Xiucheng still maintained a stern expression, gripping her wrist and turning to walk out.

“It’s time to get off work.”

“…”

She understood the reasoning behind it, but she hadn’t even started work tonight.
