With the cannon fodder script in hand, it is easy for the king to change his fate

Chapter 1440 Don't take love tests lightly, otherwise...

"Alright." Faced with Jiang Lingxi's reaction, Xie Xize simply smiled and didn't say anything more about the matter. Instead, he brought up the previous topic, "You mentioned that all aspects, big and small, need to be tested. What kind of testing method is that?"

Jiang Lingxi gets excited whenever this is mentioned.

She found a seat slightly close to Xie Xize, but not too close, maintaining a certain distance. She gently brushed her fallen hair aside, thought for a moment, and said, "There's no need to rush this. Even if it's a test, it shouldn't be too frequent. Besides, if something is deliberately designed, it seems a bit contrived. It's better to conduct a test in a specific environment. Like today, we happened to be at a bar, and this test just came to mind on a whim."

“That makes some sense.” Xie Xize said thoughtfully. “It’s a bit deliberate to suddenly put together a bunch of tests. Okay, there’s really no need to rush. Just remind me when it’s appropriate. Anyway, we’ll be spending a lot of time together.”

"It's good to have you." Xie Xize said, his eyes filled with regret when he looked at Jiang Lingxi, and he even seemed to want to say something but held back.

He could never force Lingxi to do something she didn't like. If she wasn't willing, so be it. She was a person who yearned for freedom, unrestrainedness, and a pure heart. If she had really chosen to be with him back then, given her personality, she probably wouldn't be so happy.

He also didn't want to see Jiang Lingxi become a standard Xie family daughter-in-law, pleasing her parents and everyone around her, but losing her own unique characteristics.

Unfortunately, being a daughter-in-law of the Xie family means having to be presentable, sacrificing freedom, and being bound by many accolades and rules.

If one day Jiang Lingxi really becomes that kind of standard Xie family daughter-in-law, then she won't be the Jiang Lingxi he liked back then.

He loved seeing Jiang Lingxi so vibrant and alive.

"What are you spacing out for?" Jiang Lingxi waved her hand in front of Xie Xize's eyes when she saw that he hadn't spoken for a long time. "Did you not sleep last night and cause such a scene today? Are you tired? Why don't you go back and rest? Don't wear yourself out."

"No," Xie Xize said, taking a sip of his drink. "I just suddenly remembered some things and realized that regret is a normal part of life."

“I mean, is it really necessary to make it this complicated?” Xu Feng suddenly said, shaking his head. “Having to get a girlfriend can be this complicated.”

Jiang Lingxi rolled her eyes at him: "That's why you don't understand."

Xu Feng waved his hand: "Alright, I didn't understand. As long as you're happy, you can do whatever you want."

"This concerns Xize's happiness. When the test comes, Xu Feng, you'll have to help with the acting. Also, make sure Yan Zhen doesn't find out about this. I think..." Jiang Lingxi paused before continuing, "Xize really treats Yan Zhen differently. You saw how happy he was when he learned that Yan Zhen was willing to give him all her savings to pay off his debts. I also hope that a good girl, a girl suitable for Xize, who is sincere towards him and loves him for who he is, not for his money, can truly take care of him. If such a good girl who loves Xize wholeheartedly is by his side to take good care of him, I can rest assured."

“Okay, okay, I’ll definitely help out when you need my help. As for my relationship with Xize, Yan Zhen definitely won’t know about it,” Xu Feng said quickly. “But, there shouldn’t be anything else now, right? I’ll head out first; a few friends are coming over.”

Pei Fei chuckled: "You brought a pretty girl with you, didn't you?"

Xu Feng chuckled, not denying it. He wasn't a man of lasting affections, changing girlfriends very frequently. However, he was only after their beauty, and spending money was the easiest thing for him, unlike that pretentious Xie Xize.

What kind of test is this, making it seem like he's being incredibly sincere? It's really quite boring.

Forget it, he's the eldest son of the Xie family. What's wrong with him liking to play these kinds of games? It has nothing to do with him.

Sitting silently in the corner, Jiang Baiyue suddenly received a text message notification. Seeing the money returned, her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled. The joy brought by that string of numbers almost made her lose her composure. The bar owner had returned not just 50,000, but 100,000.

Whether it was Xie Xize's order or the bar owner's attempt to curry favor with Xie Xize, it was beneficial to her.

She pursed her lips slightly, then walked over to Jiang Lingxi and whispered the matter to her. The reason she didn't speak directly to Xie Xize was that she had long noticed Jiang Lingxi's possessiveness towards him that most people didn't know. Although they seemed like friends, Jiang Lingxi cared deeply for Xie Xize, and similarly, Jiang Lingxi held a special place in Xie Xize's heart.

As her roommate, she sensed something was amiss from the number of times Jiang Lingxi had mentioned Xie Xize.

However, just a short while ago, some of her previous doubts were resolved.

It turns out that the two of them almost had a relationship, but for some reason they didn't end up together, which explains why they felt so special towards each other.

Yan Zhen was really unlucky to run into these two.

But that's just the other person's bad luck; they're blind. She can't meddle in other people's business.

Now she's hanging out with Jiang Lingxi, and it has to be said, following a friend from a well-off family brings all sorts of hidden benefits. Like now, she's easily earned an extra 50,000 yuan. Even if she had a boyfriend with a little money, getting 50,000 yuan from him wouldn't be as easy or risk-free as this.

Returning to her senses, she realized that after discovering Jiang Lingxi's possessiveness towards Xie Xize, she had been very careful. She wouldn't proactively contact any man who got close to Jiang Lingxi privately, let alone someone like Xie Xize. Even if there was anything concerning them, she would always contact Jiang Lingxi first.

Sure enough, she ended up spending the most time with Jiang Lingxi.

She was probably one of Jiang Lingxi's favorites, since Jiang Lingxi was willing to take her to banquets and even visit the Jiang family as a friend.

Jiang Lingxi raised an eyebrow after hearing Jiang Baiyue's words, and at the same time, her phone beeped with a text message. Sure enough, the bar owner had given her a larger refund.

She looked up and said, "This bar owner is quite interesting. Do you think the amount of money returned is a bit too much?"

“It really is,” Pei Fei’s money was back. He glanced at it indifferently, without any unusual expression, as if he was already used to such things. “This bar owner is quite good at climbing the social ladder.”

"Let him be," Xie Xize said. "He's a smart guy, and I'll remember him. If anything happens in the future, I'll just mention him to my parents."

Hearing this, Jiang Baiyue was happy.

Zhou Xu, who did not come from a wealthy family, was also overjoyed and thanked Xie Xize repeatedly, showering him with compliments.

At this moment, the ride-hailing car that Azhen was in had arrived at its destination—downstairs at her employer's house. (End of Chapter)
