Since Ma Teng started building the company, Xiao Yufan had completely lost contact with him. He knew that the latter must have devoted two hundred percent of his energy to the company, naturally leaving no time to chat or fool around.
Although everyone in the company envied Xiao Yufan for being surrounded by two beautiful women, only he knew what true suffering was—being stuck daily with two gorgeous beauties yet unable to do anything. That was the real torment.
“God, please send me a cute girl who can mercilessly drain me and ruthlessly dominate me…”
Lin Pinle basically had a scheduled spring fever every day. What was most annoying was that this guy could be both lewd and act so upright. If Xiao Yufan hadn’t known him well enough, even he would have been fooled by Lin’s outward appearance.
“Praying to God won’t help with this. Why don’t you pray to me instead? Let me check your romantic luck. I’ve been predicting桃花运 for twenty years without a single failure!”
Reclining in his chair, Xiao Yufan cast a playful glance at Lin Pinle. Regarding the latter’s almost perverted lifestyle, he was indeed somewhat speechless, though he wasn’t being arrogant—he truly understood the concept of fate.
“Really?” Lin asked, his expression lighting up. But as he saw Xiao Yufan nod solemnly, he muttered, reverting to a normal tone, “Yeah, right…”
“Come on…” Seeing this comical expression, Xiao Yufan was defeated once again. Lin Pinle was truly a jester, and his personality, so unusual for someone his age, made him quite unique.
“Didn’t you join this company because of your ex-girlfriend? I think I’m not wrong about this…”
After a moment’s hesitation, Xiao Yufan looked at Lin and spoke. This wasn’t something he had calculated—it was something he had heard from another colleague.
“Bro Yufan, you actually figured that out?” Lin raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes flickering. Though his expression remained unchanged, Xiao Yufan noticed the subtle tremble in his body.
“Please call me Master Yufan. There’s more I know—want to hear it all? Or better yet, why don’t you tell me your story?”
Xiao Yufan began luring Lin. He always felt that this guy wasn’t as simple as he seemed. With such excellent talent and good looks, he shouldn’t be just an average person.
“My ex-girlfriend was my arranged fiancée—what you’d call a childhood engagement. Her excellent upbringing gave her a graceful demeanor, and she was stunningly beautiful, the kind of girl who leaves a fresh impression at first sight. But in her eyes, I was always a mess. She always thought I was just a failure who relied on my family for everything…”
Lin Pinle’s lips curled into a bitter smile. Xiao Yufan saw sadness in him for the first time—something he’d never seen from the usually optimistic guy. It was clear how much this woman meant to him.
“A childhood engagement? Wow, didn’t see that coming, bro. You can be so trendy…”
“Come on, Yufan, can’t you show a little sympathy? I’m dying inside here, and you’re still teasing me. What a bad friend!”
Lin Pinle acted like a man in despair. But thanks to Xiao Yufan’s rough teasing, some of his gloom was lifted.
“So how do you want me to comfort you? Maybe the reason she’s so arrogant is that she believes you’re not worthy of her. Only when you completely shatter her perception of you might you resolve all this.”
Looking at Lin, Xiao Yufan thought of himself a month ago, after Cheng Ying had left him. He’d been in the same state. Sometimes people can give countless words of advice to others, yet find no solace for themselves.
Lin was momentarily stunned. He hadn’t expected Xiao Yufan to say so much, and he felt a bit more relieved. It wasn’t that he wasn’t good enough—it was just that he hadn’t done enough yet.
“Enough about that. Didn’t you say you’d check my romantic luck earlier? Go ahead, I’m listening!”
Not wanting to dwell on the topic, Lin urged him. Though still somewhat skeptical, his gut told him Xiao Yufan wasn’t lying.
In the twelve Earthly Branches, “zi, wu, mao, and you” symbolize *taohua*, or romantic fortune. The Eight Characters are formed through the combination of the Ten Heavenly Stems and the Twelve Earthly Branches. Lately, “zi, wu, mao, and you” have appeared in your Eight Characters, so you’re certainly experiencing *taohua* luck these days!
Xiao Yufan examined Lin’s face and calculated his Eight Characters for the past few days before quickly drawing a conclusion. However, romantic luck was more elusive than feng shui or mysticism—even he could only predict it vaguely.
“Romantic luck? No way! So does that mean I should dress more handsomely these days to attract some beauties?”
Lin Pinle’s eyes lit up with excitement as he scanned the female colleagues in the office, looking slightly disappointed but with an increasingly lecherous grin.
“Just don’t scare them off. Some connections can’t be forced. All you need to do is wait patiently—time will bring the right person to you…”
Sighing, Xiao Yufan couldn’t help but see several graceful figures flash through his mind like slides. He didn’t know which one was the one who had truly entered his heart…
