Forced Marriage: The Evil CEO Hubby - C206
Du Liqing’s eyes flashed with emotion and gratitude as he looked into Lin Zilian’s confident eyes. The corner of his mouth raised into a faint smile again as he threw himself into her embrace, hugging her tightly. The sensation in her heart caused a ripple, as if what she said meant a lot to Du Liqing.
Her excessively intense action stunned Lin Zining for a bit, and his body also stiffened for a bit. Feeling her slightly ice-cold skin, she habitually patted her back. Without waiting for Lin Zining to speak, she indifferently opened her mouth and said, “Thank you!”
The moment Lin Zining slapped Du Yanqing’s back a few times, her eyes became moist once again. Her eyes were red and she opened her mouth to say something else. A feeling of being choked with sobs caused her breathing to unconsciously slow down a lot, so as to prevent Lin Zining from noticing her peculiar emotions. Then, she swallowed all of the words and saliva that were about to reach her mouth.
“What are you thanking me for? Friends should always help each other.”
The moment Du Yanqing released Lin Zining, she very naturally turned around and sat on the sofa at the side. Picking up the black tea on the table, he took a light sip. He didn’t notice that Du Yanqing’s eyes had slightly reddened.
The two of them conversed for a bit or two before Lin Zining’s mobile phone rang. She lowered her head and took a glance and discovered that it was her father’s number. The expression in his eyes changed, without waiting for his phone to vibrate, he told Du Yanqing, then turned and walked out of the office.
The moment Lin Zining’s phone system ended automatically, she found a quiet corner and pressed the answer button. Before she could say anything, a gentle voice came over the phone saying, “Lemon, I heard that you’ve returned home. Have you come home?”
Lin Zining detected her mother’s voice and the fretful feeling in his heart lessened slightly. He asked her indifferently: “What are you going back for?”
She glanced at the green potted plant at the side and touched the leaves with her fingertips. Sensing the dust on it, she awkwardly withdrew her hand. Each word was spoken in a casual manner, as if her actions were under her control.
“Why ask so much? If I tell you to come back, then come back! ”
The moment Lin Zining finished asking his question, he had ignited the anger in the bottom of Father Lin’s heart. He snatched the phone away from his wife and growled in dissatisfaction.
This angry roar caused Lin Zining to be extremely dissatisfied, as he frowned in displeasure. Originally, she was unwilling, but because of Du Yanqing’s predicament, she had no choice but to borrow some family’s funds. Not giving her time to think any further, she started asking, “Give me a few hundred million on my card now, and I’ll go back immediately!”
She hung up the phone before her father could even utter the words of insult. She did what he usually did when he was angry at her, reflected in the sunlight. In the end, she stuck out her tongue, made a face, and walked out of the room.
Lin Zining, who had shifted his gaze to the surroundings and looked around a few times, did not see any trace of anyone. Only then, did he secretly heave a sigh of relief, and leisurely returned to Du Yanqing’s office. When he saw the faint smile on her face, he felt that she was extremely pure and adorable.
She walked forward and ruffled Du Yanqing’s neat hair before awkwardly withdrawing her hand. He took out a bank card from his bag and wrote down the password on a piece of paper. He said calmly, “I want to go home. There will be some money here. Take care of it.”
Du Yanqing didn’t know what to say in return, and he once again repeated the first few words. His face was full of gratitude, and he secretly remembered the help Lin Zining had given her in the depths of his mind. He treated the money as a loan and decided to return it in person.
In the Lin Clan, Father Lin was so angry that he wanted to smash his phone, but Mother Lin grabbed onto his hand. She, who was originally from a noble family, felt that her father Lin’s actions were extremely dissatisfied at this moment. With a cold expression, he sat on the sofa and crossed his arms in front of his chest as he started to criticize: “Old man, what is the meaning of this? If you don’t see your daughter, then just think about it. If you see her, then pinch.
There were quite a few servants in the room who looked at the two of them, causing Father Lin’s anger to increase even further. However, he did not know how to reply Mother Lin. With a cold expression, he turned around and went back into the study. Looking at the documents on the table, he felt very frustrated. Mother Lin’s birthday wish popped up in his mind, and he secretly ordered his subordinates to hit Lin Zining’s card with a few hundred million.
parked the car at the place he used to park, glanced at the other cars around, and walked towards the Lu Family Hall with a cold expression without saying a word. Just as he finished changing into his shoes at the entrance, a three year old child bumped into him. His butt fell on the ground and he started crying loudly.
The sudden ruckus caused many people to focus their attention on the small and large figures nearby. They all began to converse in a softer voice. There were those who wanted to watch a good show, and at the same time, quite a few of them revealed an expression of heartache. However, not a single one of them moved forward to carry the child away, as if they were afraid of something.
It was unknown if the child’s mother suddenly went somewhere else, or if it was because his parents were afraid of Lu Juyan’s imposing manner, and she never appeared in front of the two of them. The crying sound made Lu Juyan very dissatisfied, as he coldly stared at the child.
At this moment, the child just so happened to meet Lu Juyan’s gaze. A wave of cold air flowed out from Lu Juyan’s eyes, causing him to forget to cry in an instant as he blankly sat on the ground. Even though the Chilling Qi enveloped his entire body, his body couldn’t help but shiver. He gritted his teeth and didn’t dare to say anything.
“Hey, Lu Yan, why are you here? It’s so cold, so don’t sit on the floor. ”
The steward who was taking care of lunch in the kitchen was just in time to notice the strange scene in the living room. When he walked out, he noticed what had just happened. He hurriedly walked to the child’s side and personally carried him. He comforted him with very gentle words and wiped the tears off his face with a handkerchief.
The steward noticed the trembling on Lu Ruyan’s body, and he could vaguely sense something. He carefully carried him in his arms, stood up, and respectfully spoke to Lu Juyan: “Young Master, it’s cold outside, come in and chat with your uncle.”
The steward purposely changed the situation. Many of the people who were watching the show withdrew their gazes and began to chat with the people beside them. Lu Juyan merely shot a cold glance at Lu Ruyan, and directly walked in without saying anything else.
