Starting Sign-In from a Billionaire God Chapter 1504 - 1503

Lin Fan had top-tier Insight, so could it be that he really hadn’t noticed Li Zixia’s feelings for him?

If Lin Fan did know, then why didn’t he respond? Was he deliberately pretending not to know?

In reality, Lin Fan really didn’t know.

He did have top-tier Insight, but where he used that Insight was mostly against enemies. For example, when cracking a case, he’d use Insight to hunt for clues; when facing an opponent, he’d use Insight to spot their weaknesses.

He almost never used Insight to study women’s habits, or to use top-tier Insight to see whether a Female was into him or not.

How boring would that be!

And pretty pointless.

Without using his top-tier Insight, Lin Fan was actually a bit slow on the uptake when it came to feelings. Before he got the system, Lin Fan had been single for a long time. It’s not that he’d never liked women—in fact he’d liked way too many. Like every guy, he could walk down the street and fall in love with sixty girls in a minute.

But he had no way to judge whether those women were into him too, so inevitably he’d hit walls and run into some awkward situations.

For example, that day when Lin Fan confessed to Zhao Xin’er, she rejected him and even laid into him with a round of cold sarcasm.

And it was that very day that Lin Fan got the system and turned the tables on Zhao Xin’er.

That was proof of how slow Lin Fan was emotionally—if he’d known Zhao Xin’er was a gold-digger that day, he never would’ve confessed and humiliated himself.

For a long stretch of time, his relationship with Zhao Xin’er had actually been pretty good. They used to be coworkers, they got along great, Zhao Xin’er often came to him for help, and she was very friendly to him.

That gave the then loser Lin Fan an illusion that this girl was into him.

He only later realized that Zhao Xin’er just treated him as a backup.

That was why she was nice to Lin Fan. If you don’t give your spare tire a little sweetness, how are you supposed to make him willingly slave away, go through fire and water for you?

What are spare tires for anyway? They’re basically for ordering around.

In Zhao Xin’er’s eyes, Lin Fan was just someone to boss around. Whenever something came up—like changing a lightbulb, or fixing a broken computer—Backup Fan could be put to use.

What can’t a spare tire do? A spare tire absolutely cannot cross the line!

A spare tire needs to have the self-awareness of a spare tire.

That day, Backup Fan, not knowing he was a backup, worked up the courage to confess to the goddess. Even worse, he chose to confess to the goddess in public.

Being confessed to in public by a delivery guy, Zhao Xin’er felt it was utterly humiliating, mortifying. She blew up on the spot and laid into Lin Fan with a brutal tongue-lashing.

Lin Fan wasn’t a simp, nor was he willing to be one. In his eyes, he and Zhao Xin’er were equal friends.

So once Lin Fan later realized that Zhao Xin’er only saw him as a spare tire, he rebelled. Not only would he never like this woman again, he even developed disgust toward her.

Later, Lin Fan bound to the system and got a hundred billion in wealth. With a breath stuck in his chest at the time, he did something a bit impulsive: he bought out an entire street of luxury stores.

Thinking back afterward, Lin Fan felt he’d been a bit childish, but he didn’t regret it, because he’d slapped Zhao Xin’er hard in the face that day and it felt good.

Watching Lin Fan reveal his immense wealth, Zhao Xin’er, that gold-digger, instantly flipped and tried to become Lin Fan’s simp. But Lin Fan, who’d already seen through her true colors, how could he give her another chance? Let her regret it till her guts go green.

Even though Lin Fan was now already the richest man in Yun City, the impact of his past twenty years as a poor loser wasn’t something that could just be wiped away overnight.

The long stretch of emotional blankness in his past made Lin Fan insensitive to feelings, even a bit slow, and that carried on into the present.

Lin Fan was well aware that with his current wealth, he no longer needed to worry like before about not being able to find a wife.

On the contrary, plenty of excellent women would be willing to take the initiative to approach him.

But Lin Fan still had a hard time determining whether a Female liked him. He wasn’t full of himself, nor was he one of those guys who think they’re amazing. He wouldn’t assume that just because he was handsome, rich, and young, all the women in the world would like him.

He was fundamentally different from those overconfident idiot Rich Second Generations.

Some Rich Second Generations, relying on their family’s money, just take it for granted that every woman on earth will like them—and that’s how you end up making a clown of yourself.

Lin Fan now also pursues girls he likes, but he doesn’t preset that they’ll be into him like those idiot Rich Second Generations do.

Lin Fan knew very well that with his current status, if he took the initiative to pursue a Female, his success rate would be quite high. That actually made him afraid to act casually.

There are so many beauties in the world—could he possibly chase them all?

Too many choices are a kind of headache too.

In the past, Lin Fan had no choice; whenever he pursued a woman it was with a "give it a try" mentality. Anyway, most of the time it ended in failure, just rolling the dice.

Now he had too many choices, so he struck less often. Because there were too many high-quality options, it was better to take more time observing. Mainly, he now had the capital to take his time.

From this alone you can see that the poor and the rich really have two different mindsets. The world in a poor man’s eyes and the world in a rich man’s eyes are basically two different worlds.

Back to the point: because of the impact of his past life, Lin Fan was emotionally slow and never picked up on the fact that Li Zixia was into him.

So, was he into Li Zixia?

Li Zixia was very beautiful, but Lin Fan had too many beautiful women around him. Just being pretty alone could no longer move Lin Fan.

You could say Lin Fan’s standards had risen. Indeed, once a person becomes rich, their standards do go up, and Lin Fan was no exception.

The former poor loser Lin Fan used to see Zhao Xin’er as a goddess high up on a pedestal. As for the Lin Fan of today—would he even bother to give Zhao Xin’er a proper look?

For now, Lin Fan could only say he appreciated Li Zixia.

On that yacht in Barcelona, Spain, the first time he met Li Zixia, he rescued her from the clutches of evil. Li Zixia then very decisively used a gun to shoot down all the thugs on the boat. That scene left a deep impression on Lin Fan and made him admire this girl.

He believed Li Zixia would become an outstanding strong woman and could be a powerful assistant in his entrepreneurship. She had that potential.

For the moment, Lin Fan’s expectations for Li Zixia were more about acquiring Jinyu Group and completing the system’s mission.

Up until this moment, Li Zixia had always shown her strong side. Now she revealed her weak side and said she needed a hug. To be honest, Lin Fan was a bit surprised at first, but he quickly reacted and generously gave Li Zixia a hug.

And it was that hug that let Lin Fan get to know Li Zixia on a deeper level. She wasn’t all that invincible; she had a soft, fragile side too.

Sometimes, when a woman appropriately shows weakness, it can trigger a man’s urge to cherish and protect her.

That was exactly what happened to Lin Fan at this moment. He suddenly felt a bit of tender care toward this girl who had gone through so many hardships.

"Come on, I’ll take you back to Hang City. It’s time to take back what belongs to you." Lin Fan said gently.
