Using Marriage as Bait - Chapter 29

    Lin Xiyu’s face turned red as soon as he brushed it, why could he say this in such a calm, chat-like tone?

    Lin Xiyu bit her lip, embarrassed, “No.”

    “Really? No need for some medicine?”

    A tone that seems to be negotiating something. Lin Xiyu was even more embarrassed, and said, “It’s okay, it’s not broken, don’t ask any more.”

    He said again: “Why are you ashamed, am I not your husband?”

    It’s true that he is her husband, and it’s true that they have done the most intimate things, but she always feels that they are not familiar enough to reveal any privacy to each other generously.

    “No, it’s really fine.”

    He simply did not continue the topic. He put her arm around her waist and put her on the bed, Lin Xiyu hurriedly said to him, “Brother Junting, can you rest tonight?”

    Lu Junting put the man in his arms and said, “I didn’t say I would do it.”

      It’s like he’s next to a stove.

    “What’s your plan this weekend?” he asked suddenly.

    “I’ll take my baby out to play.”

    “Where?”

    “Where to go is undecided, just a place with a lot of people. Good baby likes to be lively.”

    “I’ll accompany you.”

    “Ah?” Lin Xiyu was surprised, “Aren’t you busy?”

    Lu Junting socializes a lot, and someone will ask him out on weekends.

    Lu Junting said: “I will spare time to accompany your mother and son. Don’t you blame me for not going home often? I will spend more time with you in the future.”

    “…”

    When did she blame him for not coming home so often? Lin Xiyu felt that he must have misunderstood her meaning, and she quickly explained: “I don’t blame you. Brother Jun Ting, just do your job. My baby and I are very good, and you don’t need to spend time with us.”

    Lu Junting was silent for a long time. His silence couldn’t help but make Lin Xiyu’s heart lift. Lin Xiyu felt that she was very understanding, but his silence made her feel that he didn’t seem to be satisfied.

    Lin Xiyu was wondering when he heard the man behind him say, “So you don’t want me to accompany you?”

    Lin Xiyu tilted her head to avoid his lips, and said, “No, I’m just afraid of delaying Brother Jun Ting’s time.”

    “I’m not afraid of you.”

    “…”

    “I’ll accompany you tomorrow.”

    The declarative sentence is used, and when wrapped in his aura, it gives people a meaning that cannot be rejected.

    Lin Xiyu responded, “Okay.”

    Actually, she didn’t want him to accompany them very much. She and Baobao were more at ease when he was away.

    After having breakfast early on weekends, the family went out in a nanny car. This time they went to a cultural snack street, where there were many people and a lot of food.

    The car was parked, Lin Xiyu took the baby bag and was about to put it on her body when Lu Junting said to her, “I’ll take him.”

    Lin Xiyu glanced at him, today he is wearing a very casual dress, a white inner layer, a black and gray casual jacket, black casual pants and a pair of casual leather shoes, his figure is The proportions are very good, the shoulders are wide and the legs are long, this dress looks very stylish on him.

    Not wearing that formal haute couture suit, he looks several years younger, but as a dragon among people, a noble person since childhood, even wearing a rag can’t hide it Temperament, this prefix-style baby bag really wants to hang on him, no matter how you look at it, it doesn’t match.

    Lin Xiyu asked uncertainly: “Are you sure you want to wear this?”

    Lu Junting didn’t answer, grabbed the baby bag directly from her hand, put both hands over her shoulders, and said to her, “Hold it on for me.”

    Since his attitude was so firm, Lin Xiyu didn’t say anything more, he helped him fasten the belt, and put the baby in the nursery bag. Lin Xiyu said to him again: “You have to support his little feet, otherwise it will be uncomfortable to hang for too long.”

    Lu Junting did the same, holding his son’s two small fat legs.

    Lin Xiyu couldn’t help but take a few more glances at the father and son, Lu Junting’s temperament is not like bringing children, he should sit in a high-rise building and be a resolute decision-maker. However, he was wearing a baby bag and brought his son, but he didn’t resist at all, so he started strolling with Gubao so leisurely. When Gubao saw so many people, his happy little body trembled and giggled all the way. He was quite cooperative and helped him shake his little fat legs, looking at it like this, it was quite harmonious.

    Passing by a barbecue stall, Gubao stared straight at the barbecue, the little fat finger pointed there and hummed, Lin Xiyu wiped his saliva and poked his The little meat face said: “That one can’t be eaten, it can only be eaten when it grows up.”

    But the little guy was oblivious. He forgot about the barbecue when he saw the balloon seller on the roadside. He pointed at the little balloon, and his body was shaking with excitement.

    “You’re too young to play that.”

    However, Lin Xiyu’s words were useless at all, the little guy probably really liked the balloon and started to hum, and he would cry when he frowned.

    Lu Junting said: “If he likes it, buy it for him.”

    He walked over with the child, and Lin Xiyu followed. Lin Xiyu saw a pink kitten-shaped balloon and liked it, but the baby was too young to hold such a big one, so she chose a slightly smaller one. smaller. Lu Junting took out his mobile phone to pay, and said to the boss, “one big and one small, how much is it?”

    Lin Xiyu wondered: “As long as a small one is fine, he can’t play a big one.”

    Lu Junting paid the money, took out the pink balloon she just touched a few times and handed it to her, saying, “This is for you.”

    Lin Xiyu: “…”

    Lin Xiyu didn’t expect that she would receive the balloon that Lu Junting gave her. She liked the balloon, but she was a little embarrassed. She said, “This is for children.”

    Lu Junting said: “You are also a child.”

    Lin Xiyu: “…”

      It’s like a real child. Lin Xiyu actually had a feeling of being pampered by him as a child. He clearly spoke in a normal tone, but this feeling of being pampered by him as a child made her feel ambiguous.

    But Lin Xiyu was happy to receive the gift, she smiled shyly, took the balloon and said, “Thank you.”

    After strolling for a while, the two took the baby to find a place to sit and rest, Lin Xiyu fed the babysitter’s warm milk to the baby, the baby is teething now, and added milk powder and Complementary food, she won’t have to be so tired to breastfeed every day in the future.

    A small bottle of milk was finished in a while, and the little guy started to giggle after drinking. Lin Xiyu hugged him, and his heart softened when he smiled. Maybe the mother looked at the child, and it looked good no matter how you looked at it. , she rubbed against his little fleshy face and said, “Why does my sweet baby love to laugh so much? Why is it so cute? Hmm? How can it be so cute?”

    “Because mom is cute too.”

    Lin Xiyu was stunned for a moment, she looked up, Lu Junting was sitting opposite, and now they were sitting in a pavilion for rest. Further up is the deep blue sky. Behind Lu Junting is the blue sky. Today’s weather is good, the sky is clear and cloudless. He seems to be covered with the warm sun, not like the dreaded condensation in the past. At this time, his eyes are soft, and Lu Junting with a soft expression is bright and handsome. A very strong personal charm, very aggressive, the kind that will attack people.

    And Lin Xiyu, who heard his words, seemed to be attacked.

    Why are you just complimenting her on her cuteness? Unexpectedly, someone like Lu Junting would still praise the little girl for being cute, and thinking that he just said she was a child, Lin Xiyu only felt that her heart was scalded.

    The pavilion is open all around, but she feels that the surroundings are filled with a sense of ambiguity. To hide her panic, she lowered her head and rubbed her son’s face.

    The sun was just right, there was no wind, and the blue sky extending into the distance was as beautiful as a painting. The crowds around were very lively, and she suddenly felt that they were in love again.

    Lin Xiyu’s cell phone rang at this time. It was Lin Xigan’s call. Lin Xiyu took it and Lin Xigan asked her, “Where are you?”

    Lin Xiyu said: “I’m outside now.”

    “Are you free?”

    Lin Xiyu glanced at Lu Junting, he didn’t seem to care about her side, and poked Gu Baobao’s face with his finger to tease him.

    In fact, Lu Junting knew who was calling Lin Xiyu, he just glanced at the caller ID accidentally.

    Lin Xiyu continued: “I’m not free for now, my husband and I came out with the baby.”

    Hearing this, Lu Junting was stunned for a moment. This little girl has always been reluctant for outsiders to know that she is married, but now she directly tells outsiders that she is with her husband and children, and that he is hers gentlemen. The corners of Lu Junting’s mouth tilted imperceptibly, and when he saw his son, he felt more cute. She was right, how could his precious son be so cute.

    “That’s right, didn’t I say before that I wanted to meet your husband?”

    “See you now? Let me ask my husband first.”

    Lin Xiyu clutched the receiver and asked Lu Junting, “Do you remember the boy I mentioned to you before that my parents almost adopted? He has always wanted to see you, and he wants to make an appointment today, do you think it is convenient? ?”

    Lu Junting said: “There is nothing inconvenient, see you in the evening, I will arrange the restaurant in a while, the visitors are guests, this meal is up to us.”

    Since Lu Junting agreed with Lin Xiyu, she had nothing to say, she said to Lin Xigan, “My husband said at night, is it convenient for you?”

    “Yes.”

    “I’ll send you the restaurant address later.”

    “Good.”

    Hang up the phone, fed the baby with milk, strolled around for a while and then went home. Lu Junting handed over the matter to his assistant, and the restaurant was ordered soon.

    Lin Xiyu sent the location, she and Lu Junting went over first and waited, Lin Xigan arrived at the agreed time.

    Lin Xiyu introduced the two, “This is my husband Lu Junting, and this is my stepbrother Lin Xigan.”

    Lu Junting reached out his hand, “Hello.”

    When Lu Junting is outside, he is usually the person that others take the initiative to make friends with. Taking the initiative to reach out to say hello like this means that he is very generous to the other party.

    Lin Xiqian shook hands with him, “Hello.”

    Lu Junting said: “I heard Xixi say that you are American, should you have a foreign name?”

    “Lip Hinton.”

    Lu Junting said, “Mr. Hinton, please take a seat.”

    Lin Xiqian noticed that Lin Xiyu had just introduced his Chinese name first, but he deliberately did not call him “Mr. Lin”. However, Lin Xigan didn’t care so much. He sat down opposite the husband and wife. The waiter brought the menu and Lu Junting handed it to him generously, “You are the guest, you order first.”

    Lin Xigan said, “No need, you can eat whatever you order.”

    Lu Junting said: “You don’t have to be polite to us.”

    Lin Xiyu also said: “Yeah, you’re welcome, we don’t know your appetite, or you order your favorite food first, and we’ll order ours later.”

    Lin Xigan took over the menu and ordered two dishes, he asked Lin Xiyu: “I remember you like ice cream, how about I order an ice cream for you?”

    Lin Xiyu was about to refuse, but Lu Junting said one step ahead of her: “She is breastfeeding, and children who eat ice will have stomach upsets.”

    Lin Xiyu was stunned when she heard this, Lu Junting even knew this? Sometimes he would learn about their mother and son from Sister Wu, and if he knew such details, he seemed to have a very meticulous understanding.

    Lin Xigan looked at Lin Xiyu in shock: “Are you breastfeeding?”

    Lin Xiyu nodded, while Lu Junting asked suspiciously, “You don’t know yet? Didn’t she tell you?”

    He clearly said quite normal, but Lin Xigan always felt that it sounded a kind of uncomfortable sarcasm.

    “I don’t know, sorry.”

    Lin Xiyu hurriedly said, “It’s okay.”

    After ordering each, Lin Xigan asked, “I don’t know what Mr. Lu does.”

    Lu Junting said: “Doing a little business, building materials.”

    Lin Xiyu thought to herself, the small business of building materials, is this bullying Lin Xigan who came to Ancheng? However, Lu Junting’s modesty and low-key Lin Xiyu agrees.

    “What about you? Where did you get high school?” Lu Junting asked.

    “I’m a doctor at Jiangyuan Hospital.”

    Later Lu Junting asked about Lin Xigan’s situation after he went to the United States, and asked about their childhood. Lin Xiyu was always worried that Lu Junting asked about Lin Xigan’s illness. After all, this is the biggest weakness of others in their lives. Even just caring about it can be uncomfortable. However, he didn’t talk there the whole time. He treated Lin Xigan like a normal person, and he was very polite in his words. He really respected him as her brother. The atmosphere of the conversation was so harmonious, which was beyond Lin Xiyu’s expectations. She was afraid of two A person meeting for the first time can be embarrassed.

    Lin Xiyu went to the bathroom halfway through the meal.

    “Why are you approaching her?”

    Lin Xiqian actually didn’t have a good impression of Lu Junting. Men know men too well. When he first saw this man, he felt that he was a man who was hiding and his politeness was pretending. Yes, as expected, Lin Xiyu’s true face was exposed as soon as he turned around.

    So Lin Xigan was not too surprised about Lu Junting’s sudden change of attitude.

    Lin Xigan said, “I don’t quite understand what you mean.”

    “Isn’t your American adoptive father in debt crisis? If I guess correctly, you should be very anxious to help him pay off his debts now.”

     Lin Xigan’s complexion changed immediately after hearing this, “Are you investigating me?”

    “Xixi is young and has been out of the society for too short a time. I am older than her and her husband, and I am obliged to help him identify the friends she has made. So why are you approaching her? Think From her hands to the inheritance given to her by his parents? But you are probably disappointed. Mr. and Mrs. Lin are all running around for charity, and the family’s assets have long been used for charity. Mr. and Mrs. Lin left suddenly and left it to Xixi. All that’s left is piles of debt.”

    This is a blatant suspicion of him, and Lin Xigan is also angry, “My adoptive father’s debt crisis is his problem, he can solve it by himself, I can’t help him repay the debt. Lin Xiyu is my sister, I came to her, just to take care of her, not as bad as you think.”

    “Take care of her?” Lu Junting’s expression didn’t change, and he even helped him with his chopsticks and put it in his bowl. He was completely hospitable, but the words he said were indifferent. “If you really want to take care of her, why didn’t you show up when his parents passed away? Your adoptive father is in debt crisis and you came to take care of her so generously? Mr. Lin and his wife saved you, but they didn’t know that. The one who saved was an ungrateful person. As soon as he found a better adoptive parent, he turned his face and refused to recognize him. After so many years, he didn’t contact her. Where did your face still appear around her? Aren’t you approaching her for profit? If you know it, you will probably be ashamed for almost adopting you.”

      “

    Lin Xiyu came out of the bathroom and saw this scene, what’s the matter, wasn’t it okay just now, and when she came over, she also saw Lu Junting helping Lin Xiyan with food, the relationship between the two The atmosphere should be quite good, but Lin Xigan suddenly stood up and poured tea on his face. What’s the situation?

    Lin Xiyu was frightened, and hurriedly walked over and asked, “What’s wrong?”

    Lu Junting took out a tissue and wiped his face slowly, his eyes also showed a bit of anger, and asked, “What does Mr. Hinton mean? I just asked if your adoptive father is in debt crisis. , Why do you react so badly if you need help, Xixi still recognizes you as a stepbrother, and I am willing to help you as a husband when you have an accident, you can’t be so excited.”

    Lin Xiyu was confused, what debt, what debt repayment.

    Lu Junting always brings bodyguards when he goes out, because the husband and wife want to entertain guests. The bodyguard kept watching the movement here. Seeing that the two bodyguards found out that the situation was ready to come, Lu Junting gestured with his eyes to tell them to calm down.

    Lin Xiyu knew very well that if it wasn’t for Lu Junting’s sake, the two bodyguards would have come to subdue Lin Xigan.

    Lin Xiyu didn’t know what happened, but she just saw that Lu Junting was very polite to help Lin Xigan with vegetables, even if Lu Junting’s words might accidentally hurt Lin Xigan’s self-esteem, she didn’t have to slap someone directly Let’s water, Lin Xiyu held the cup, the tea was just boiled, and it was hot to hold across the cup.

    Lin Xiyu hurriedly leaned over and asked, “Are you all right? Did you get burned?”

    Her anxious appearance was beyond Lu Junting’s expectations. The anger in his eyes instantly faded, and he said, “It’s okay.”

    Lin Xiyu looked at Lin Xigan again, but saw that his face was full of anger, and his body was still full of anger. Lu Junting was splashed with water, and Lin Xiyu was somewhat guilty. After all, it was because of her that Lu Junting was willing to meet Lin Xigan, otherwise he, a busy man, would not have to give Lin Xigan this face, and he had always been very thoughtful and polite to Lin Xigan. He even helped Lin Xi dry the vegetables.

      “

    Lin Xigan gradually calmed down, and he also knew that his actions just now were a little too impulsive, but he always felt guilty about his adoptive parents, and the most taboo thing was that others said he was ungrateful. And Lu Junting’s words just now pointed to his bottom line, so he couldn’t hold back for a while.

    He was afraid that Lin Xiyu would be embarrassed, so he slowly calmed down his emotions, and was about to apologize to Lu Junting, when he saw that man suddenly gave him a cold warning look when Lin Xiyu didn’t see it, With this look, the corners of his mouth were curved, as if he was smiling at him, obviously mocking him, as if he was being irritated so easily.

    Lin Xigan’s heart thumped, and a cold feeling hit her back. He suddenly realized that he was deliberately angering him. What he said just now was intentional, and he was still wondering why he was so rude while serving him vegetables. He made it for Lin Xiyu, and he was just angry at him. Why did he investigate his adoptive father’s debt and didn’t notice that Lin Xiyu had come out of the bathroom.

    And now, he deliberately showed this expression to him, just to let him know that he did it on purpose, and he was still provoking him! What does he want to do? Do you want to deliberately provoke him and their husband and wife to tear their faces apart?

    Lin Xigan clenched his fists tightly, he knew very well that Lin Xiyu had preconceived that he was impulsive to splash water on Lu Junting. The talents had just met again and were not familiar with each other. She must trust Lu Junting more than him.

    Lin Xigan knows that now is not the time to tear up with Lu Junting.

    He suppressed the surging anger, took a deep breath, and apologized sincerely, “Sorry, I was just too impulsive.”

    Lu Junting said very generously, “It doesn’t matter, it is inevitable for young people to be impulsive. For Xixi’s sake, I don’t care.”

    Lin Xiyu felt even more guilty when she heard this.

    The next meal was not as harmonious as it was at the beginning. After the meal, the couple said goodbye to Lin Xigan directly. When Lin Xiyu was eating, she noticed that Lu Junting’s face was flushed. After getting in the car, she said, “Would you like to take a look at your face?”

    “No, little thing.”

    “But the water was hot just now.”

    “I’m rough and fleshy, so I’m not in the way.”

    Lin Xiyu felt bad, Lu Junting met Lin Xigan because of her, so he suffered this unwarranted disaster because of her.

    “Brother Junting, I’m sorry, it’s all because of me.”

    “What does it have to do with you, it’s not you who splashed on me.”

    “But it’s because of me and you that I met him. By the way, I didn’t even ask you just now, what did you guys say about him being so angry?”

    Lu Junting said: “I don’t know too much. I just mentioned his adoptive father’s debt crisis and asked him if he needed help, and he suddenly became popular.”

    “How do you know about his adoptive father’s debt crisis?”

    Lu Junting admitted very generously: “I investigated him, you mentioned him to me before, I am more cautious, after all, you haven’t been in touch for so many years, and you don’t know where he is in these years. What the U.S. did, maybe you didn’t even understand whether he was a good or bad guy, so I looked into it.”

    Lin Xiyu nodded, she could understand Lu Junting’s cautiousness, she suddenly had a stepbrother approaching her door, and as her husband, it was understandable to investigate his details.

    Lin Xigan didn’t tell her about his adoptive father’s debt crisis, and there was nothing wrong with Lu Junting asking if he needed help, Lin Xiyu wondered: “Why did he react so much? Have you investigated him?”

    Lu Junting said: “I’m not very clear. I investigated him and explained the reason to him. He didn’t need to react so much. I think he may have misunderstood what I meant.”

    “What’s wrong?”

    “He probably thought that I suspected that he approached you and wanted you to help him pay off his debts, so he became angry when I mentioned that.”

    Lin Xiyu fell silent.

    Lu Junting added: “After all, you and him haven’t seen each other for so many years, and you don’t know what he has experienced abroad, although your adoptive parents adopted him at the beginning, but after all, it was a matter of childhood. Yes, people will change, I hope you will keep more of your mind in the future.”

    Lin Xiyu understands what he means, because her parents almost adopted him, and she has been thinking about him all these years, so when he appeared, she subconsciously felt a kind of closeness to him, after all, she There are no real relatives around, and he is the only one who has shared memories of her family life.

    But what Lu Junting said was also right. After all, he hadn’t seen each other for so many years. She didn’t know what his life was like abroad.

    Lin Xiyu said, “I understand Brother Junting.”

    After returning home, Lin Xiyu found a scalding medicine. Lu Junting was still dealing with things in the study. Lin Xiyu knocked on the door and handed him the scalding medicine: “Brother Junting, please put some medicine on, yours My face is all red, it will be more comfortable to wipe a little.”

    Lu Junting temporarily put down what he was doing. He looked at the medicine she handed over, and he didn’t know what to think. He seemed to be in a very happy mood, with a smile on his face, he put the chair Turning around to face her, he said, “Help me.”

    Lin Xiyu did not refuse when he thought of how much he was injured because of her.

    Lin Xiyu squeezed the ointment to his fingertips and was about to help him apply it carefully, but the man suddenly stretched his long arms and hugged her forward. Lin Xiyu did not stabilize, and staggered a few steps and sat down. On his lap, he sat in a straddled, unsightly position.

    Lin Xiyu’s cheeks immediately became hot, she looked at him in a panic, and asked, “Don’t you want me to help you apply the medicine?”

    “Just wipe it like this, it’s more convenient.”

    “…”
