Rebirth: Never Live Up to You - C39
“Boss Lin, why don’t we go together?”
Lin Jingsheng put one hand in his pocket and the other at his side, “No need, I have an appointment at noon. It’s warm and we can meet up another day.”
To be able to say such shameless words openly, she was rather impressed. She nodded lightly and when she turned around, she saw He Dongyan looking at her. She immediately smiled.
“He already left, why aren’t you leaving?” He Dongyan didn’t move at all despite the obvious intention to see her out. When she ignored his intention to enter the lounge, he locked the door behind him and looked down at her condescendingly. The advantage in height undoubtedly gave him an imposing air.
“Eldest Sister-in-Law, didn’t you make an appointment with Eldest Brother to go eat dinner?”
“He Dongyan, the main character is already gone. What are you still acting for? Hurry up and carry your clothes back to coax the woman.” Could it be that he had agreed to Ye Zichen’s words just now? That he took it for real.
“The main character isn’t standing here, he’s just a supporting role. Let’s go.” He Dongyan made a inviting gesture with one hand while holding her clothes with the other. He forcefully pulled her out of Shang Ou. This barbarian’s actions were exactly the same as Chi Yinan’s. She was in He Dongyan’s car, which was always graceful, and then left the car lock to prevent her from running away.
“This car is not bad.” In her heart, she felt angry. If she held it in her chest and didn’t let it out, it would be extremely uncomfortable. Therefore, she kicked the door to test its performance.
“Sister-in-law, someone will pay if the kick is broken.” She looked at the time. It was only a little after ten and estimated that it was almost eleven o’clock. Chi Yinan was normally working at Green City International Office at this time, but she didn’t know what he was up to today.
“If you don’t mind, I’ll just call you Su Wenjin.”
“Why didn’t you continue to call me sister-in-law? In fact, even now, you still can’t understand why Chi Yinan would marry me.” She tilted her head back, covering her forehead with her bangs, revealing a pair of bright eyes. Her skin was white, healthy, and her makeup looked a few years younger than her actual age.
“I think I understand now.”
He said he understood now, but she still didn’t understand, and she didn’t want to think about such a profound question. There were some things that the more she tried to figure out, the more covered they were, and it would be better to wait until the time came to find out.
He Dongyan’s silver limousine stopped in front of the private restaurant. He opened the door and let her out of the car, then apologetically told her that there was still a date she had to go to, so he elegantly drove away and left her at the entrance of the private restaurant. For a second, she thought about taking a taxi and leaving, but then she thought that it was just a meal, what was there to be afraid of, Chi Yinan wasn’t a ghost.
Ye Zichen walked through the ancient long corridor and pavilions with his high heels, then walked into the hall. Finally, he stopped at the door of the room, took a deep breath, and pushed the door open.
She found a place to sit down and wait for the arrival of the busy Chi Yinan. This room was obviously wrapped by him, and the decorations inside had the vague smell of a man. She sat on the sofa and waited for a while, wanting to call him, only then did she realize that she had been dragged out by He Dongyan.
After waiting for nearly 20 minutes for Chi Yinan to return to the future, she couldn’t help but wonder if He Dongyan’s party had come with Lu Ziruo to deceive her. Thinking of this, she got up and was about to leave.
“I can’t wait any longer. Where’s your patience?”
She almost bumped into him when she walked out of the door. Originally, if he had a reasonable excuse to be late, she wouldn’t be angry, but with his sour look, it really made people unhappy. Perhaps the next few words he said were discordant and might cause a ruckus.
“I’ve already used up my energy long ago. Since you’ve made me wait for so long, why don’t you tell me what you want to verify? Let’s have a good discussion.” He shouldn’t have been so impulsive, why couldn’t he control it? After saying those words, he started to regret.
Chi Yinan looked at Su Wenjin, who had a body full of thorns, and he looked like a cat. He bent his body and stretched out his claws, scratching anyone who provoked her.
She was not afraid at all, but she did not want to argue with him. After brushing past his body, she walked out, and Chi Yinan used some force on his hand to pull her back against the screen. The screen on the ground was merely a decoration, and after they had fought for a while, they both fell to the ground with a loud thud, startling the two of them.
“It’s all your fault. Since we haven’t even eaten dinner, we have to compensate you for this.” Moreover, the screen in front of her was clearly handmade, and its value was even higher. Chi Yinan didn’t care about it and glanced at it, ignoring the broken corner of the screen on the floor as he pulled her inside. The waitress was standing outside the door with the menu in hand, not knowing if she should come in or not.
What kind of person was Su Wenjin? No matter the circumstances, he would never give up on his own stomach. He waved at the waiter and ordered some favorite dishes regardless of his unsightly expression.
Chi Yinan calmed himself down. He remembered that he had underestimated the two of them during He Dongyan’s deliberate lunch. His temper was bad, and so was Su Wenjin. It was truly a headache.
“I’ll go on a business trip tomorrow.”
After ordering the dishes, Chi Yinan suddenly said this. Then, without further ado, she propped herself up on her chin and did not say anything, or she explicitly said that she did not know what to say.
“You come with me.”
After a long while, he suddenly said this. Her first reaction was to feel insulted. Could it be that if he wasn’t here, she would shamelessly run over to hook up with Lin Jingsheng?
“I’m not going.”
“Warm Jin, behave yourself.” Chi Yinan’s tone didn’t have the slightest trace of a doting tone. Be a bit more obedient, it could obviously be said that it was very warm.
“Chi Yinan, I’m not a cat or dog.”
“You are my wife. Do you have any problems traveling with me? Or do you need a translator?”
She was stunned for a moment and then reacted with displeasure, “Chi Yinan, when were you so poor that you couldn’t even afford a translator?” Her French was very good. She had not only studied it in university, but had also taken language classes in high school. It was all thanks to her mother. If she hadn’t been seriously ill, she would never have married the man in front of her.
“The plane ticket is already booked. Come with me tomorrow.”
Chi Yinan didn’t want to dwell on this issue any longer. He opened a bottle of red wine, poured her a glass, poured himself a cup as well, and raised his goblet high up in the air.
She took a glance at it and suppressed the displeasure in her heart. She touched the cup to her mouth and gulped the contents down, the crimson liquid flowing down her throat, making her cough. The red wine was very fragrant, but it was a waste for someone like her who didn’t understand anything to drink it, so she poured herself another cup of wine and said slowly, “How long will it take to go to France?”
“It’s not like you can’t stay there for a few more days if you want to stroll around.”
“I didn’t say I was going shopping. Who cares?”
“It’s fine if you don’t care.” Su Wenjin was not a normal woman who acted pretentiously. This was known from the first time they met, if there were countless women chasing after him, they would be attracted to his money and his rights. However, Su Wenjin was a woman who did not care about either of these things.
“Eat if you’re hungry.”
The second time, she still ate with her belly open. The dishes here were very right to her taste, and she didn’t care about the man opposite her at all. She left with some osmanthus wine in her bag, ready to drink it again.
Chi Yinan knew this woman could eat, so it was reasonable for her to pack a serving of osmanthus wine. When she left, she passed the screen on the ground and wrung her hands again. Such a good thing was gone.
Chi Yinan didn’t drive today, but it was delivered by the driver. He opened the car door to let her up, and she carried the osmanthus wine in her hand as well, so she unwillingly got in the car and sat in the back with him. When the car started, she lowered the window and looked out at the scenery flying by, and the wind blew in through the window, causing her bangs to blow chaotically.
She turned her face away from him. Chi Yinan didn’t like this feeling at all. He felt like he was escaping from his palm. He slightly turned her face and placed it on his shoulder.
Su Wenjin opened his eyes and looked at her unhappily before turning around again. Chi Yinan’s face darkened at an invisible place, but he did not pull her head away this time. Instead, he wrapped his arms around her and put one of his hands on her shoulder while the other wrapped around her waist, looking extremely intimate.
When the driver saw this in the rearview mirror, he tactfully raised the tailgate to block the view.
Although he would hug her like this every night when he slept, at the moment, he did not want to stay in bed. She wanted to keep her distance, and because of the recent problems with Lin Jingsheng, their quarrels had become more and more frequent, perhaps one day, when both of them could not stand it any longer, it would completely erupt and then end.
[Harmonious]
Fortunately, he was satisfied with the action in front of him. He didn’t take any further action, nor did he take his hand out of the hem of his shirt, but his grip loosened up a bit. It was only when he got off the car that he had to let go of her.
She changed her shoes, went inside, and poured a glass of water. It was only then did she remember that the osmanthus wine was still with Chi Yinan, and she forgot to take it when she got off the car, so she was afraid that he would throw it away. She thought for a moment, then picked up the phone and quickly picked it up.
She got up from the sofa, and the thought of going on a business trip to France with a man tomorrow made her feel a little repulsed. What was she going to do when he went on a business trip, and although she said she was an interpreter, she knew that the only thing she needed to do was to maintain Mrs. Chi’s grace and take her there was nothing more to do than to cut off meetings with Lin Jingsheng.
This Chi Yinan was really funny, those who didn’t know what status she held in Chi Yinan’s heart.
When she thought of going to France tomorrow, she went upstairs to pack her luggage. Every time Chi Yinan was out on a business trip, she would pack her luggage, which was one of the most dedicated things she had done since she was a wife. This time, she not only had to pack his things, but also her own.
Chi Yinan had a lot of clothes, and the cloakroom took up most of the space. Going to France was, after all, a business trip, so she packed some shirts for him, brought him two suits and a tie, then took a pair of cufflinks from a drawer and put them in his clothes.
In any case, she thought that if she really needed them when the time came, she would just buy them directly. Since Chi Yinan had a lot of money, he would just need to heat them up, so she should do a good deed.
When everything was done, she lay down on the bed and covered herself with the covers. The sun was shining outside the window, and as she hid in the thin blanket, tears started to come out of her eyes. She cared more than she thought she would.
Su Wenjin, who had once been free and unrestrained, was now in the past. Lin Jingsheng, who had once pampered her to death, was also in the past. Why did those who came out at a certain time and place unrestricted?
