Forced to Date a Big Shot

Chapter 508: If She Is Without Love, She Will Die!

Seeing that Xue Sheng had returned to normal, Professor Thor was stunned. He looked at Xue Xi and, seeing that they had sat down again, continued the negotiation.

Thor spoke up. “Goddess, there are a lot of people who can’t get into Scanford even if they wanted to. Are you sure you don’t want to come and study there?”

Xue Xi paused and said, “No.”

Thor: “…”

Xue Xi added, “Other than the formula for nerve acid, I can also provide you with a chemistry patent every year. How about I do that for five consecutive years?”

Thor: “??”

His eyes lit up!

Although he wanted to take Xue Xi in as his disciple and have her develop in Country M, and although he could not wait to give her a green card from Country M, if Xue Xi did not want to go over, her providing research for them at Scanford University would also work!

He was interested in the Goddess’s wisdom, not the person herself!

Thor was tempted. He was about to nod when something happened that made his face change.

He grimaced and muttered to himself, “I need her wisdom!”

With the others not knowing what had happened again, Thor sighed helplessly and looked at Xue Xi. “I’m afraid this won’t do. Compared to your intelligence, my country values you more.”

Xiao Song: “??”

She silently glanced at Xue Sheng and considerately did not translate this sentence. She was afraid that CEO Xue would fly into a rage again.

Xue Xi looked at him intently. After a while, she suddenly said, “Professor Thor, can I talk to him directly?”

Thor: “?”

He was stunned. “Him?”

Xue Xi pointed at his ear where there was a wireless Bluetooth earpiece. “Him.”

Thor: “…”

Thor looked at Xue Xi for a moment before shaking his head. He held on to his earpiece and said, “She’s simply too smart!”

Thor took off his earpiece and handed them to Xue Xi.

Xue Sheng, who was standing by the side, was baffled. Why did they start making calls while chatting?

Xiao Song was shocked.

Professor Thor is already a very powerful figure in Country M. Who is this other person? Is he commanding him?

Xue Xi had already picked up the earpiece and placed it beside her ear.

From the earpiece, there came a pleasant, magnetic voice. Through the airwave, this voice became very high-class after adding a hint of culture. He spoke in Chinese with a slightly awkward accent. “Hello, Ms. Xue.”

Xue Xi’s eyes turned cold. “Hello, Nicholas Xiu.”

Nicholas Xiu smiled. “You can call me by my Chinese name, Hosiu.”

Xue Xi shook her head. “No need. I’m not familiar with you.”

Nicholas Xiu: “…”

He sighed and spoke again. “Ms. Xue, I’m very puzzled. You’re so passionate about studying and even bought so many books from Country M. Why don’t you consider coming to Scanford University to study? There’s a wider world here. People like you shouldn’t be trapped in a pond. You need the ocean.”

Xue Xi fell silent for a moment before saying, “You’re right.”

Nicholas Xiu: “…”

Xue Xi continued, “But China is no longer the China of decades ago. Although China might still be a little behind in some aspects of academics, we won’t always be behind.”

Nicholas Xiu: “?”

He paused for a moment before saying, “Many people are here to gain knowledge before returning to report to the country. Isn’t this better?”

Xue Xi was direct. “No.”

Nicholas Xiu was puzzled. “Why?”

Xue Xi paused. “I can’t bear to leave my parents.”

Xue Sheng, who was beside her, was instantly touched and was about to cry. In fact, he could not bear to part with his daughter. It would be too cruel if he had to send his talented daughter overseas to study after searching for her for eighteen years.

In order to be with his daughter, his family had moved from Bin City to the capital.

As soon as the thought crossed her mind, she heard Nicholas’s voice over the earpiece. “That’s easy. You can have your whole family migrate. You can bring as many people as you want. I can accept your family and friends.”

Xue Xi fell silent. “Then, what about Xiang Huai?”

“…”

Nicholas Xiu was silent for a moment. He didn’t seem to be able to organize his words. He wanted him to come. It would be best if he changed his nationality and became a citizen of Country M. But would he dare?

If Xiang Huai would always be in Country M, Nicholas reckoned that he would just have to stop doing other things and keep an eye on him every day.

Nicholas’s long silence let Xue Xi know that this would not work.

Finally, Nicholas sighed. “Are you really not coming?”

Xue Xi said solemnly, “I can’t leave my boyfriend because…”

“If you leave him, your heart will ache, and you might even die from it, right?”

Nicholas spoke the second half for her.

Xue Xi was stunned for a moment before replying, “Mhm.” When she said this to others, she was actually very serious at the start. However, later on, she developed a wicked sense of humor. She wanted to test how others would react when they heard this and see if they knew what was going on.

Most people would smile awkwardly, thinking that she was showing off their affection.

However, when Nicholas said this, his tone was solemn. Her intuition told her that this person understood what she meant.

Nicholas said, “So, you’ve always been controlled because of this?”

Xue Xi frowned.

Before she could speak, Nicholas continued, “Are you willing to be controlled all the time? Do whatever Xiang tells you to do? You can’t do anything if he doesn’t want you to do it. Would you like such a life?”

Xue Xi was stunned and was about to retort when Nicholas continued, “You’re an eagle. You shouldn’t be controlled like this. The vast sky is waiting for you. Don’t you want to see the exciting world outside?

“Xiang has never told you who he and I are, right? So far, you’ve been kept in the dark. Besides, are you sure that Xiang will treat you well?”

Xue Xi shut her mouth.

Nicholas said at last, “Do you want to get out of his control? You don’t have to be controlled to like someone. You don’t have to force yourself to love him.”

‘Do you want to?’

Xue Xi had always wanted to break free from the curse of “you’ll die if you don’t fall in love,” but she was very rational. She did not want to break away from Xiang Huai, but she wanted to have a normal relationship with him. It was not such a sick relationship.

Because from the start, she had never taken the lead in this relationship.

Nicholas continued, “If I were to say that I have a way to get rid of ‘you will die if you don’t fall in love’ curse, would that be a good excuse to invite you to Country M?”

He could remove it?!

Xue Xi widened her eyes.

It would be a lie to say that she wasn’t moved. No one wanted to be forced into a relationship.

But could Nicholas be trusted?

Time passed second by second. Just as Xue Xi and Nicholas were silent, a sizzling sound came from the phone. Immediately, a lazy but cold voice sounded. “No.”
