Rebirth: Never Live Up to You - C33
“I didn’t expect to meet Boss Chi at such an occasion, let me toast you.” While Su Wenjin was eating the prawn, the man in front of her suddenly stood up and toasted Chi Yinan in an official tone. Su Wenjin was eating the shrimp, then suddenly stood up and toasted Chi Yinan in an official tone.
“Su Wenjin, I really didn’t expect you to be the first one among us to get married. I thought you would keep waiting, let’s not talk too much. Here’s a toast.”
She followed the voice and looked over, it really was Xu Mejia, the two of them actually weren’t in the wrong, it was just that she inexplicably took on the title of a department flower, there was always someone who wasn’t willing to admit it, and felt that they were not worse than her, why did this name fall on her head, Xu Meijia was one of those who refused to accept it, but did not use any offensive moves against her, in other words, she spoke a little bluntly, just like this person before her name, I thought you would continue waiting, many of the university students know Lin Jingsheng’s existence.
“We are all one pellet in the middle of the ocean. Who can control everything? Let’s do it.” She raised her head and drained her glass of beer. Kieran prepared to fill it up for her, but just as he was about to lift the bottle and catch his eye, he quickly put it down.
Jiang Zhaoyang wanted to toast Su Wenjin as well. When he saw the bottle of wine that Kieran had hidden away, he knew that it was Chi Yinan’s intention, so he asked for a drink from him.
Chi Yinan was praised in turn, but Su Wenjin was still worried even though he knew his alcohol tolerance was good. It seemed like he couldn’t drive, so he wanted to drink a few cups for Chi Yinan, but then he thought about what he said before and asked his woman to drink for him. A man like this was still called a man, but now, he didn’t want to do that.
“Manager Chi, you really are protecting a beautiful wife. We won’t feed you, we don’t need Su Wenjin to call us petty, haha.” With Jiang Zhaoyang’s words as the sponsor of this reunion, everyone also laughed and changed directions. Then they started to pour the water to the vice-chairman of the class, which made Chi Yinan finally have some free time. He held the wine cup in one hand and her slender hand in the other.
Kieran would rather not have had such a good vision. He looked down and saw their hands holding each other. He was curious to see which of them held more weight in her heart than Lin Jingsheng and Chi Yinan.
The second floor was the dining room, and the third floor was the KTV Club. After dinner, the group majestically went up to the third floor to sing a song, but fortunately, no one was drunk on purpose this time, so everyone was still conscious. Chi Yinan held Su Wenjin’s arm as they walked at the back.
“I think your classmate is very interesting.”
After saying that, Chi Yinan pondered for a while before adding, “Reminds me of my university days.”
This bastard actually recalled her memories. She had already reminded him that even if he was bored to death, he shouldn’t look for trouble with her.
He sat down beside her. Kieran had already happily chosen a song, but she had been hugged by him. The lights in the room were dim, and they were sitting at the edge. No one would notice them.
“I’m going to light up some songs. What are you going to sing?” Since they had almost never seen him sing before, they could not help but be curious. They might as well use this test to see if the almighty young master of the Chi family could sing.
“Wan-Jin, I wonder if I can sing?”
After he discovered her intentions, she did not deny it. She nodded and said, “Which song do you want to sing? I’ll give you some.” Her current attitude was a bit fawning on him. Chi Yinan looked at her sparkling eyes and suddenly laughed. His low voice spread out from his chest: “What if I say that I don’t want to sing, hmm?”
When Kieran finished playing, he looked over and saw Chi Yinan kissing the tip of Su Wenjin’s nose. She was leaning into his arms like a little bird and had a sudden harmonious tune to her. It looked like they were standing together like a perfect match.
“It’s all your fault. Chi Yinan, you intentionally made me look bad, didn’t you?”
When he left her, she glared at him fiercely, but he couldn’t see it. The smile at the corner of his mouth was wanton as he forcefully held her back to not light up the song. “Warm Jin, you want to sing it back for me alone?”
“Chi Yinan, you freak.”
“Hur hur ~ I’ll show you what true pervert looks like when I get back home tonight.”
His tone was too soft, and Su Wenjin was afraid that he would go back to practice. Hence, she stopped yelling that she wanted to go sing, and sat in the corner with him until the end of the meeting.
He had a drink that night, so of course he couldn’t drive. She took the car keys and got into the driver’s seat. He got into the front passenger seat as the Land Rover came out of the parking lot and headed towards the creek.
She went into the house, turned on the light, changed her shoes, and stuck up the flowers she had bought from a flower shop on the way. Chi Yinan drank a bit of alcohol, and his body had a faint scent of alcohol, which made him a little obsessed with cleanliness. Usually, when he first came home, he would go into the bathroom, where she would get the flowers and go upstairs to the bathroom to listen to the sound of the water.
She found some clothes from the closet and decided to go downstairs to the bathroom to wash. Just as she walked to the door, Chi Yinan’s voice came from the bathroom, mixed with the sounds of the water.
“What did you say?”
This time, he turned off the shower, saying in a clear voice, “Warm Jin, help me bring a note in.”
He rarely asked her to help him with his things when he took a bath. Later on, he thought that they had already been husband and wife for three years, so he didn’t do anything intimate wrong. Instead, he just took out a black piece from the cabinet and gave it to her.
“You take it.” The bathroom door was only slightly ajar, so she reached her hand in through the door. Chi Yinan saw his black hand on hers, and his eyes moved slightly as he received it.
After he took it, she immediately withdrew her hand and took the clothes downstairs to the bathroom. In the swirling mist, she leaned against the bathtub as she looked at the white ceiling, and a drop of water fell from the ceiling onto her face. As the water dripped down her face, she suddenly closed her eyes and thought back to what her mother-in-law Gu Huiru had said during the day.
Marriage was originally the first step, having a child was the second step. When she took the first step, she suffered a life worse than death, now she was already numb, she was about to take the second step. Everyone felt that what she did was right, only she herself knew how unwilling she was.
Every time she was in pain, she hated Su Xiao Yun even more. She hated him so much that she wanted to drain her blood, but she did not want to admit that her father, who sold his daughter for benefits, was a man who did not even want to show his face before his wife died. There was a time when she prayed every day that he would go bankrupt. She only hated that ever since she married Chi Yinan, his company had been doing well and developing better.
Hot water was still flowing out of the tap, and the water in the bathtub slowly flowed out, dripping onto the floor.
Chi Yinan blew his dry hair and stood on the terrace looking up at the misty sky, fumbling for the cigarette that had just been lit. Remembering that they were going to have a child, he reached out and secretly threw it into the trash can, habitually smoking when he was annoyed, and now that he was forced to stop, it was always uncomfortable. There was a box of plums on the side table, and he twisted one and put it in his mouth.
Su Wenjin went into the bedroom. She took the hair dryer and sat on the sofa to dry her hair. She looked at the man standing on the railing outside. When she caught sight of the cover inside the trash can, she froze as if she was going to burn a hole in it.
That night, she did not sleep well, and woke up several times. In her dreams, she saw the man sleeping soundly, she turned to the side and looked at him, the handsome appearance, illustrious background, Zol’s extraordinary ability, many women’s successful pursuers, before she met him, he did not lack women nor did he lack partners, and after meeting her, he did not lack women either. Even until now, she did not understand why he insisted on marrying her, and did not even hesitate to agree to marry Su Xiao.
Closing her eyes, she wanted to dispel the chaotic scene in her mind. The refreshing smell on his body became stronger and stronger. She did not deny that she liked the fresh smell on his body. It was very good smell, very different from that of that person.
When Lin Jingsheng came to Green City once again to negotiate the contract, Chi Yinan was asking the doctor about Su Wenjin’s condition. The doctor suggested that he make a new examination, and as he was thinking about what to say to her, Lin Jing was born.
“Boss Lin, your hospitality is lacking, please take a seat.”
Secretary Xu poured two cups of coffee in, put it down and stepped back, propping up his chin as he thought. The boss had no intention of cooperating with the Su Clan International at all, so why didn’t he just refuse?
Along the way, she made another two cups of coffee. Unexpectedly, the moment the door was opened, the boss and Boss Lin started fighting. This sort of thing must not be known by outsiders, otherwise who knows what would happen?
Chi Yinan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and smiled arrogantly: “Lin Jingsheng, I’ll tell you straight out, I don’t care who Su Wenjin loves now, but one thing is that she is Mrs. Chi now, you better stay away from her.”
