Forcing Me to Be a Godly Tycoon, Right?

Chapter 1415: Chapter 537: Li Yiran Confesses Her Feelings to Him!

So he hesitated slightly, then said, ”You’re staying out all night, will your grandma agree?”

Li Yiran immediately felt somewhat guilty because she hesitated for a while before leaving, and in the end didn’t dare to tell her grandma she wasn’t coming home tonight.

Then she planned to act first and explain later; after being with Zhang Jingdong, she’d decide whether to go home based on the time.

If she really couldn’t, she’d make up a lie over the phone to her grandma.

Anyway, she knew her grandma would likely guess what was happening between her and Zhang Jingdong, and she believed her grandma would understand her actions.

So she steadied herself and nodded firmly: ”...Hmm.”

Zhang Jingdong saw through her guilt and leaned in to kiss her cheek: ”I know you love me and want to be good to me, but we can’t let grandma worry.”

”Tell you what, when you go to Yanjing, when I visit you, we can then, you know...”

”By then, grandma will be nearby, but since you’ll occasionally be in the dorm, she won’t suspect anything.”

Li Yiran’s heart warmed, yet she couldn’t help but say, ”Jingdong, do... do you not want me?”

Zhang Jingdong saw that she was overthinking and immediately said, ”What are you talking about? Given how close we are now, and I’ve almost done it with you before, how could I not want you?”

”But... you’ve already done it with Xiao Fei and the others; even though we made our relationship official later, we’ve known each other for a long time!”

Zhang Jingdong laughed and pinched her cheek indulgently: ”Li Yiran, rest assured, with you being so beautiful and having gotten into Huaqing University, how could I let go of such an ideal girl of both looks and talent?”

”You’ve just been through the college entrance exams, so both your body and mind are still recovering; now is not the perfect time for us to do it.”

”Once you’re in university, you can properly recover, and by then, we’ll have the best experience doing it.”

”Actually, I have a little wishful thinking; I didn’t get into Huaqing University back then, so I dream of having a girlfriend from Huaqing.”

”So, once you’re in university, my dream will come true, and that will definitely make it even better.”

Li Yiran now completely understood and nodded again, feeling both shy and happy: ”...Alright, I’ll listen to you.”

”But... tonight, I still don’t want to go back. I... I want to be with you.”

Zhang Jingdong knew she hadn’t seen him in a long time and wanted to be close for a while, as well as show her determination.

Then he nodded pleasantly: ”Of course, I couldn’t ask for more.”

”Let’s go and have a big meal first, then find a top hotel to spend some quality time.”

After that, the two of them went to get the car and then arrived at Huifeng Building.

They picked a private seating area on the second floor and ordered a bunch of food and drinks.

Once everything was served, they ate and chatted.

Zhang Jingdong then said: ”You’re about to start university soon, have you thought well about what to do once you’re there?”

Li Yiran quickly thought and then said, ”I have, but I still haven’t completely figured it out.”

”Oh, you’re a university student too, besides being a boss. Why don’t you tell me your take?”

Zhang Jingdong, unusually modest, said: ”Though I’m a university student, our universities are on quite different levels; after all, yours is Huaqing University.”

Li Yiran immediately said: ”Boss Zhang, you’re being too modest. With your achievements now, forget Huaqing; even if you put together all the university students across the country, no one could exceed you.”

Zhang Jingdong chuckled: ”That’s just lover’s eyes seeing Fan Li. With so many university students in Huaxia, talented people are abundant, far better than me.”

”But since you brought it up, I’ll chat about it with you.”

”I think there are three main points you should focus on in university: First, you need to learn professional knowledge well.”

”Secondly, while mastering professional knowledge, you should actively engage with society to truly understand what contribution your knowledge can make to society.”

”The last point is to gradually understand during your studies what kind of person you want to become, whether it’s a merchant, a scholar, or an expert in a specific field.”

”With a good learning attitude, deep social knowledge, and clear final goals, I believe you should be successful in your university studies.”

Li Yiran nodded in deep agreement: ”I understand, thank you for the guidance, senior.”

Zhang Jingdong was amused: ”A teachable student!”

Just then, a family of three came up the stairs to the second floor.

When they passed by Zhang Jingdong and Li Yiran’s table, the son suddenly stopped, feigning calm, but his eyes betrayed a hint of jealousy.

”Li Yiran, who’s... who is he?”

This guy’s name is Xu Ziyuan, like many boys from Seventh Middle School, he had a secret crush on Li Yiran throughout three years of high school.

He even studied hard, hoping to woo Li Yiran, and scored 617 in the college entrance exam, choosing Yanjing Business University.

He thought that with his family background and methods, maybe he could win over the school beauty, Li Yiran.

Then, he’d definitely shine at future high school reunions, crushing everyone.

Unexpectedly, before even entering university, he saw Li Yiran dining with a guy, an especially handsome one, making him feel like he could explode.

However, Li Yiran hadn’t spoken yet, and Xu Ziyuan’s mom suddenly pulled her son back and then politely said to Zhang Jingdong, ”You must be Mr. Zhang from Dongsheng Group?”

Zhang Jingdong initially felt that Xu Ziyuan must be Li Yiran’s schoolmate, also a high schooler, so he hesitated to get into it with him.

Now seeing his mom recognized him, he knew it was going to be okay.

He promptly nodded: ”Yes, I am.”
