Chapter 342 - 279: Incurring the Wrath of the Crowd (Part 3)
Xina was taken aback when she heard this. She quickly waved her hand and said:
"No, it’s too precious. I can’t accept it. You should keep it for yourself; it might come in handy later."
Lin Lang, however, nonchalantly smiled and said:
"Take it. It’s nothing to me. If you have it, I’ll feel more at ease."
Xina frowned, wanting to say something to decline further.
But before she could speak, Lin Lang, in full view of everyone, directly reached out and grabbed her hand!
He then gently placed that colorful metal piece in her hand and firmly said:
"Keep it! I’ve said it before, being my woman, you won’t suffer any losses."
These words left everyone around gasping, their eyes wide with disbelief:
"Did we just hear that? Being Lin Lang’s woman? Has something unspeakable happened between Lin Lang and Instructor Xina?"
And the little sycophant standing nearby was left in a trance as though struck by an Immovable Spell!
The expression on his face was indescribable; what was once a hint of schadenfreude instantly vanished without a trace!
What replaced it was shock and an unhideable sense of loss.
...
"Oh, darling!"
Xina looked at Lin Lang, eyes full of emotion. She was naturally carefree and didn’t mind their relationship being publicly revealed like this.
She tiptoed slightly, leaned closer to Lin Lang, and gave him a gentle kiss on the lips, then with a blushing face and a hint of sweetness said:
"I’ll be waiting for you at home tonight!"
The people around them felt like something had fiercely pricked their hearts, driving them insane with jealousy.
They never expected Xina to actually call Lin Lang "darling"!
Keep in mind!
Xina is the famous beauty in this Special Agent Base!
Many secretly admired her!
Yet who would’ve thought!
Now she was so easily won over by Lin Lang, who hadn’t been at the base for long.
Those men who secretly admired Xina felt incredibly upset at this moment, as if their hearts had shattered into pieces!
Their once beautiful dreams were crushed!
They could only watch helplessly as Xina and Lin Lang interacted sweetly, utterly helpless. The atmosphere was complex and delicate.
...
The little sycophant widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief, unable to accept what he was witnessing!
After staying dazed for a while, he couldn’t help but step forward and question Xina, his voice trembling from agitation:
"Are you... really together? How is this possible?"
Xina gave him a cold glance, her eyes tinged with annoyance, speaking with a clear and cold tone:
"Obviously, yes. Lin Lang and I are together; it’s a matter between us, none of your business."
Hearing this, the little sycophant felt like his world had collapsed, and he screamed out in a frenzy:
"No, this isn’t true! How can you be with him! Can’t you see my feelings for you? In what way am I inferior to him?"
His eyes reddened, tears welling up, and his disconsolate look made anyone feel his internal suffering at that moment.
Meanwhile, Wang Dahai, already distraught over losing that invaluable treasure,
Was further enraged seeing the little sycophant pestering Xina with questions, his fury flaring up uncontrollably.
He stepped forward and grabbed the little sycophant’s collar, shaking him forcefully, his eyes wide and shouting hoarsely:
"That’s my treasure! It’s mine! If it weren’t for helping you vent your anger, I wouldn’t have bet it and wouldn’t have lost such a treasure! You compensate me! You compensate me!"
Immersed in the pain of Xina’s rejection, the little sycophant was dumbfounded by Wang Dahai’s shaking!
Yet his eyes remained empty, still dazed and questioning life’s meaning as if everything around him ceased to matter, muttering:
"How did it end up like this... how did it end up like this..."
Lin Lang watched this chaotic yet somewhat comedic scene and merely shook his head helplessly. He then took Xina by the hand and turned to leave.
As they walked, Lin Lang spoke to Xina:
"Wang Dahai and the others might come back to ask you for that treasure; you mustn’t give it back to them."
Xina, hearing this, smiled confidently, taking Lin Lang’s arm, and with determination, she said:
"Don’t worry darling, this is your gift to me, how could I give it away without your consent? Even if their words are as sweet as honey, I won’t agree."
Lin Lang looked at Xina’s earnest and adorable expression and smiled softly.
This girl’s personality really suited him well!
The two of them leaned on each other as they walked away slowly.
Leaving behind all those still absorbed in various emotions, either frustrated, jealous, or heartbroken.
...
Wang Dahai’s anger was boiling!
Just thinking about losing such a priceless treasure for nothing made the fire in his heart burn even stronger, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he got!
He glared at the little sycophant, speaking viciously:
"Today you have to compensate for my loss, or I won’t let you off, you’ll see!"
