School Beauty's Invincible Martial Expert

Chapter 380: Chapter 380: Refusal

Qin Jun stood at the school gate, dressed in an off-white suit with tousled hair, holding a bouquet of flowers in his hands—a bouquet of pink roses. Very pretty.

At the school gate.

“Wow, who is this guy?”

“Here to chase after the girls from our school again? Damn! There are already so few pretty girls at our school, why do they all get taken away by outsiders?”

“Well, he is rich after all, didn’t you see what kind of car that is?”

“What car is it?” someone curiously asked.

“That’s a Maserati, worth at least a million.”

People around were chattering. Qin Jun didn’t care about these murmurs. Seasoned in the business world, he didn’t care about others’ opinions, especially not these students, as their gossip couldn’t affect him in any way.

Soon, Lan Yudie hurried out from the school.

“Xiao Yu!” Qin Jun hurried forward when he saw her.

“Qin Jun, why are you here?” Lan Yudie looked at him anxiously and said, “Didn’t I tell you I wouldn’t be coming out today?”

“I just wanted to ask you out for a meal,” Qin Jun smiled and said, “No other intentions!”

“But…” Lan Yudie was somewhat helpless; she wanted to tell Qin Jun that she already had a boyfriend, but somehow she found it hard to say and hesitated for a long time before saying, “I’ve already eaten.”

“That’s okay, we can go for a drink, can’t we?” Qin Jun smiled again.

“Where to drink, what?” Lan Yudie asked, puzzled.

“How about we find a café and have some coffee?” Qin Jun glanced at Lan Yudie and said, “Of course, if you’d prefer a drink, I’m happy to accompany you.”

“Let’s skip the drinks, let’s go for coffee!” Lan Yudie smiled.

Qin Jun thought for a moment, then said, “Alright, get in the car!”

Qin Jun opened the car door for Lan Yudie, and as she was about to get in, he calmly handed her the flowers he was holding and said, “Xiao Yu, these are for you. I hope you will accept them.”

“I…” Lan Yudie shook her head and said, “I can’t accept your flowers.”@@novelbin@@

“It’s not just the flowers!” Qin Jun smiled, then pulled out a box from his pocket. He gently opened the box to reveal a beautiful Chanel watch, a diamond-studded watch that sparkled as soon as it was opened, likely to make any other woman immediately faint with happiness.

“This is?!” Lan Yudie paused for a moment.

“This is the latest Chanel watch of the year!” Qin Jun smiled and said, “Specially for you, hoping you would become my girlfriend!”

“No, I can’t accept it!” Lan Yudie quickly shook her head.

“Why?” Qin Jun asked.

“Because I already have a boyfriend, I don’t want to cause a misunderstanding!” Lan Yudie finally spoke her mind, some things that are hard to say had to be said eventually, or else she would forever hold them inside. In Lan Yudie’s view, if she didn’t speak up today, Qin Jun would continue to bring her flowers. So it was better to be clear and save him from wasting his time on her.

“Oh? When did this happen?” Qin Jun asked curiously.

“Just in the past two months!” Lan Yudie glanced at Qin Jun and then said, “It’s been a while.”

Once they got in the car, the atmosphere inside was somewhat awkward. Qin Jun put away the watch.

“President Qin, which coffee shop would you like to go to?” the driver Xiao Ma asked.

“Find any,” Qin Jun replied.

“Yes!” Xiao Ma nodded.

President Qin was going for coffee, so naturally he couldn’t compromise on standards. So, Xiao Ma immediately drove towards the best coffee shop in the city center. Geno Coffee, the largest coffee house in the provincial city, consisted of three floors; the first floor was the lobby, and the upper two were VIP rooms.

Many urban white-collar workers and social elites enjoyed going to Geno Coffee.

Sometimes when they needed to discuss a project, sign a contract, or just chat with a few friends, they would inevitably choose Geno Coffee as a quiet place. Therefore, the business of Geno Coffee had always been very good.

Although Geno Coffee was relatively expensive, all their coffee was flown directly from Indonesia. Furthermore, it was sourced from the largest Civet Coffee factory in the world. All the coffee arrived as beans and was processed into coffee powder in the shop itself.

In the car, Lan Yudie seemed somewhat awkward. Sitting in the back seat, she could hear Qin Jun’s breathing. The car’s sound insulation was incredibly strong. No sound from outside could be heard at all, only the sounds inside the car, which was extremely quiet. Even the slightest stray noise was crystal clear.

“Xiao Yu, I don’t know what I’m doing wrong, or in what ways I am not as good as your current boyfriend!” Qin Jun sighed, then said, “Xiao Yu, I have pursued you for such a long time, don’t you feel even a bit for me?”

“Qin Jun, the difference in status between us is too great,” Lan Yudie smiled and then said, “I am just from an ordinary working-class family. Since ancient times, China has always valued the saying ‘match the door with the household.’ The doors and households between us do not match.”

Qin Jun smiled slightly and said, “Xiao Yu, that’s what I like about you. Other women scramble and compete to marry into wealthy families, but you do not. However, I have never cared about so-called family backgrounds. I will only marry the woman I love the most. I, Qin Jun, not just in the provincial city but even in the whole of China, am considered influential. I do not need a matching social status to elevate my worth nor to increase the influence of the Qin Family.”

Indeed, Qin Jun was entitled to say this. The Qin Family in the provincial city was one of the top families. The Qin Family and the Mo Family were the two largest families in the city. Today, with the Qin and Mo families on good terms and without any conflict, everyone in the city lived in harmony and prosperity. Qin Jun had now been at the helm of Qin Corporation for over ten years and knew the family’s situation well; although it would not be called a country’s rival in wealth, describing it as the wealthiest in the region was definitely no exaggeration.

Over the years, Qin Jun had managed the Qin Family’s wealth with great competence, leading to an explosive increase in their fortunes.

“But marrying you would put a lot of pressure on me!” Lan Yudie shook her head.

“Why would you feel pressure?” Qin Jun frowned and then said, “With me, you should feel relaxed, happy. I’ve never given you any pressure.”

“I know!” Lan Yudie nodded and said, “But our social statuses are different, I don’t want to be overly cautious in my interactions with you. We are only suitable to be friends, not lovers, and certainly not to be married.”

At that moment, the car slowly stopped in front of Geno Coffee.

“Let’s go!” Qin Jun smiled.

Then, Lan Yudie got out of the car. Xiao Ma was very proactive in opening the car door for Lan Yudie. Qin Jun left the flowers in the car and then got out, taking Lan Yudie’s hand decisively. Originally, Lan Yudie wanted to refuse, but seeing Qin Jun so resolute, she did not protest. She just honestly allowed Qin Jun to hold her hand.

The two walked into the cafe like a couple.

“Wow, it’s President Qin!”

Suddenly, someone exclaimed at the entrance.

A few girls who were together bowed to Qin Jun and politely said, “President Qin, hello.”

“Hello!” Qin Jun nodded and asked, “And you are?”

“We are employees of Qin Corporation!” the girls said excitedly. “We never thought President Qin would be even more handsome in person than on TV.”

Heehee…

The girls giggled.

One of them said, “Wow, President Qin, your girlfriend is so pretty.”

“Haha, really?” Upon hearing this, Qin Jun couldn’t help but laugh.

“Absolutely!” one of the girls chuckled and said, “But then again, it makes sense. Ordinary and plain women would hardly catch President Qin’s eye, right?”

Lan Yudie turned red, seemingly wanting to step forward to explain, but Qin Jun squeezed her hand as if to say, don’t explain, do it for my sake!

After Qin Jun hinted, Lan Yudie reluctantly stood aside without speaking.

“Alright, we’re going in now,” Qin Jun smiled

“President Qin, take care!” the girls bowed again.

Lan Yudie and Qin Jun slowly walked inside. After entering, they encountered many people who greeted Qin Jun proactively. In fact, some people were stunned upon seeing Qin Jun, and before they could greet him, he had already passed by; they never expected Qin Jun to come to a cafe for coffee. Logically speaking, the coffee in Qin Jun’s private lounge should be much better than the coffee at Geno Coffee.

“Hello, President Qin!”

“Hello, President Qin!”

Along the way, many people greeted Qin Jun. He was a very polite and also very gentlemanly person. He smiled and responded to each one. Everyone saw Qin Jun’s amiable side and thought highly of him.

“President Qin, the private room upstairs is ready,” Xiao Ma hurried over.

“Hmm!” Qin Jun nodded, then holding Lan Yudie’s hand, they walked upstairs.

The environment upstairs was much quieter than downstairs. After going upstairs, they no longer saw anyone coming forward to greet them. Xiao Ma led the way, and they quickly entered the private room. The private room was quite large. It had a sofa, a coffee machine, and the table was set with Civet Coffee purchased from Indonesia, even a commemorative edition. This box of coffee was Geno Coffee’s pride, and upon knowing President Qin himself was visiting, the owner immediately brought out their treasured item.
