My Wife is a Goddess: 99 Secret Kisses Chapter 108 NEW JOB, NEW ENVIRONMENT PART 15

Yesterday at Xue Lin's room, Xiao Rong shook his head. "I cannot do it."

Xue Lin gave him an amazed look. "Why not?" she asked.

Xiao Rong said, "I'm the Student Council President. I have to act like a model student. I cannot talk harshly."

'What he said wasn't wrong but rules are there to be broken. No one says that you have to abide by the rules to win the life game.' Xue Lin thought. "Even if the girl you like get bullied in the school?" she leaned back. "I understand, your love and conviction aren't as serious as you said."

"You are wrong!" Xiao Rong exclaimed. Then he realized that he raised his voice and quickly apologized saying, "I'm sorry, I crossed the line."

"No one is harmed by your line crossing." She replied, "So, am I wrong? Prove it."

"You want me to act like a delinquent." Xiao Rong said.

Xue Lin shrugged. "I want nothing from you. It's you who wants to protect your loved ones. I'm just showing you the way."

Xiao Rong hesitated. "…That's…"

Xue Lin's chair had wheels. She could whirl the chair. As she moved the chair, she said, "Look, you can walk away if you want to but remember if you don't step up for yourself and for your loved ones now, you can never do it."

Xiao Rong looked down and mumbled, "I'm not mature enough. After I grow up a little more…"

'This boy seriously has problem with confidence. I'm amazed how he overcame half of his fear in the first year by himself.' Xue Lin firmly said, "Maturity doesn't come with your age, boy. Only experience can help you to grow up mentally. This day will never come. So, I hope in the future you won't regret not stepping up today. It's true that it's never too late; but it's also true that when the time goes, it never comes back. Once it's lost, it's lost forever." her grey eyes pierced his. "What you want to do with your life, it's up to you, not your parents'. The life is yours, so the decision is yours too."

Xiao Rong didn't take time to reply, "What do I have to do?"

"Easy, just memorize some lines." Xue Lin smirked.

Back to the present, Xiao Rong's friends supported him by saying, "If what you said was true that you were her servant because of your parents' positions at work, you should have told us. We are your friends. We will back you up."

Xiao Rong relaxed a bit. "I appreciate your thought. I can only ask you guys that when I'm not by Susu's side, please take care of her."

While the incident made a chaos, in the corner of the corridor, Xue Lin smiled in satisfaction. "What a sight I was able to see the first thing in the morning!" She slowly walked in the corridor and pa.s.sed through Mumu's cla.s.sroom. She saw the girls were gathered around her desk and they were talking to her harshly.

"Mumu, you lied to us!"

"How could you do that? We are your friends?"

"Because of you President Rong got mad at us."

"He also called us your loyal dog."

"Is it fun to play with our innocent hearts?"

Xue Lin's lips twitched. 'Innocent heart, they say. If they are innocent, then I'm an angel.'

Mumu was still silent. She was looking at her book without replying to anyone. Anyone could tell that she was in a foul mood. But her friends didn't stop there. One of them said, "He also told us to pa.s.s you a message. He said that he would no longer follow your orders anymore. What did he mean by that?"

"What did he say?" Mumu finally talked. She was looking at her friends in disbelief.

The girl who spoke about it said, "W-well, he said something about his father's position. He is your father's employee. But it doesn't make President Rong your a.s.sistant. He said he wouldn't listen to your request anymore. Even complaining to his parents won't help you."

"He… he said that?!" Mumu gritted her teeth and started to tremble. She would definitely not allow Xiao Rong to leave her side after so long.

"Does that mean you were ordering him around and forced his relationship with you, Mumu?"

"I never thought you were that kind of a girl!"

"I can't believe you forced him into the relationship and made us believe that you were dating."

"I even tried to scold him on behalf of you!"

"You are horrible!"

"I don't think you are cut out to be my friend. I don't need a friend as scary as you."

One after another, the girls left leaving Mumu alone. It seemed like she never had a real friend.

During the lunch break, Mumu went to look for Xiao Rong. She found him in the cla.s.s along with his two friends and Susu. She could hardly keep herself calm. She strode inside the cla.s.s and stood in front of Xiao Rong. Everyone in the cla.s.s quieted down and so did Xiao Rong. Susu flinched after seeing her.

"Rong, I need to talk to you. Come outside." Mumu's voice was full of authority.

Xiao Rong stood up out of respect but his eyes were icy cold. "I've nothing to talk to you and watch your tone when you talk. If you don't know how to respect people, people won't respect you either."

Mumu's lips twitched. "I have to respect… you? Rong, are you day dreaming?"

Xiao Rong calmly said, "No, it's you who should stop day dreaming. After all, things won't go your way in the future."

Mumu's eyes widened. She had never seen him so calm before. Whenever she threatened him before, he was always angry and was in despair; and it gave her a great joy seeing him suffer. She couldn't find a reason for him to become so mature in a single day. She asked sharply, "Are you threatening me?"
