{Chapter: 42 How can you match these monsters?}
Many girls have dreamed of a simple act: a hug, a conversation, anything that would make them feel seen and cherished. They would give anything, even their lives, for a moment of intimacy.
But to their dismay, Lin Yuan walked straight toward Chi Qian.
As he remembered his cousin Yu Shanshan's teasing advice, Lin Yuan found himself pondering how he could deepen the connection with her, how he could appear more intimate.
Before he could think further, however, something unexpected happened—Chi Qian stepped forward and walked toward him.
To Lin Yuan's surprise, she took his hand.
"You're here, dear." Her voice was light, and as Lin Yuan looked up in astonishment, he found himself gazing into Chi Qian's large, sparkling eyes. She blinked at him, playfully.
In that instant, Lin Yuan understood.
Chi Qian, ever perceptive, had already figured out his thoughts and had taken the initiative to act as though they were more intimate than they truly were.
She was truly a goddess—a perfect figure, understanding, intuitive, and able to read him like an open book.
Though the audience watched with envy, the truth was that their fingers were merely hooked together.
"Well, Qian Qian, let's go." Lin Yuan spoke softly, a gentle yet captivating smile forming on his lips.
When his words reached the crowd, a collective gasp filled the air, a symphony of heartbreak that echoed across the space.
The idol, the man they all adored, was being held by her.
A cry of longing erupted from the girls in the audience.
Ahhh…
Seeing Chi Qian hold Lin Yuan's hand left the boys in equal parts green with envy and bitterness.
Their combined allure was undeniable.
One was effortlessly handsome, rich beyond measure.
The other, the flawless school beauty, was the epitome of perfection.
Together, they seemed like a match made in the heavens themselves.
Yet there were those who could not resist voicing their discontent. "Isn't it just money? What's the big deal? They're only here because of their families, just another rich kid..."
Someone beside them scoffed and responded, "Heh, relying on his family? Sure, maybe. But being born into wealth is still an ability. And, he's not just relying on his family. Take another look at this guy—don't you think he looks familiar?"
"Wait… is that... the heir of Lin Group? Lin Yuan, right?"
"Oh my god! It is him! I saw him on the headlines of Jiangbei's newspaper! The guy who made billions trading stocks every day—3 billion to 30 billion!"
"No way! Is it really him?!"
"Wait, it's actually him! I can't believe it! At first, I was so jealous, but now... I can't help but think... talented people are just meant to be together. Can we even compete with them?"
"Ahhh! It really is Master Lin Yuan! I can't believe how much better looking he is in person than in the papers! I'm so jealous right now!"
On the other side, Zhang Manli, who had been bickering with Wang Wei, was stunned. Had Yu Shanshan's story actually been true?
Chi Qian's boyfriend was not only worth hundreds of billions, but he was also more handsome than any celebrity she had ever seen?
"So it's true... Chi Qian's boyfriend really is the heir to a 100-billion conglomerate. And he's more handsome than the stars... I can't believe it…"
"I'm so jealous of Chi Qian... having someone like Master Lin as her boyfriend..."
"Heh, if you had even a fraction of the beauty of our school's goddess, you'd have a shot at someone like him."
At that moment, even Chi Qian's classmates couldn't help but change their tune.
All the previous criticisms melted away as they began to praise her instead.
While the girls were clearly envious, they now felt that only someone as flawless as Chi Qian was worthy of Lin Yuan.
The boys, though equally dismayed, couldn't help but feel the sting of comparison.
Lin Yuan was in a league of his own.
His background, his abilities, and his appearance were beyond their reach.
Every aspect—family, wealth, looks—was a total mismatch. And they knew it.
"Cousin, didn't I tell you? Isn't Qian Qian stunning? For her, I was willing to reconsider my entire harem... Oh, Qian Qian, stop it, stop! Fighting looks terrible on you," Yu Shanshan teased as she walked beside Lin Yuan, her tone light and playful.
"Yes, Miss Chi is truly like a fairy," Lin Yuan said with a smile. As they entered a quieter part of the venue, he gently released Chi Qian's hand, a gesture that both surprised and intrigued her.
"Mr. Lin is also very handsome," Chi Qian replied, smiling warmly. But there was a hint of surprise in her eyes. She hadn't expected Lin Yuan to let go first.
