Chapter 335 Are you still alone?

He really wanted to ask if something had happened to Lin Xiyin.

But she was afraid that if she said that, Pei Muyi would overthink it, and Lin Xiyin would be the one who would suffer.

"It's nothing serious, Huo Xianyang is getting married. When are you coming back?"

Chi Tianlin was quite surprised. Was Pei Muye calling to chat with him?

Did the sun rise in the west?

"I'll be going back the day after tomorrow," Chi Tianlin said. "Friday."

“I’ll treat you to dinner Friday night,” Pei Muye said. “It’ll be a welcome-back dinner.”

Chi Tianlin was genuinely startled: "Are you really Pei Muye?"

Did someone possess your body?

Pei Muye had the speakerphone on, so Lin Xiyin could hear their conversation.

When she heard Chi Tianlin ask this question, she chuckled.

Hearing the laughter, Chi Tianlin tentatively asked, "Ruan Ruan?"

Lin Xiyin leaned closer; "I'm here. What time are you arriving on Friday? Would it be convenient for us to have dinner together?"

"So you're really throwing a welcome party for me?" Chi Tianlin chuckled. "I thought Pei Muyi was drunk."

“Really,” Lin Xiyin said. “He was sincere.”

"Thank you," Chi Tianlin said. "I only arrived this afternoon."

"Shall we have dinner together?" Pei Muyi suggested. "How about six o'clock?"

"Can."

After getting off the plane, Chi Tianlin took a break, washed up, and then went to his appointment.

Anyway, he has a lot of freedom when he returns to China, and he can decide who he wants to see.

Pei Muyi glanced at Lin Xiyin and asked, "Is there anything else you want to say to my wife?"

Chi Tianlin really thought Pei Muye had taken the wrong medicine.

Although the phrase "my wife" carries a boastful connotation, it was still quite unexpected that he would ask such a question.

Lin Xiyin took the phone: "If you're tired after getting off the plane, we can meet on Saturday."

"It's nothing," Chi Tianlin said. "I'm used to flying around all the time. Ruanruan, how have you been lately? Are you feeling alright?"

"It's okay, I'm fine."

Pei Muye took the phone back: "Then let's meet on Friday night."

"good."

After hanging up the phone, Chi Tianlin smiled.

Unexpectedly, in his lifetime, he received a call from Pei Muye, inviting him to dinner.

But this is definitely not what Pei Muye meant.

It was probably Lin Xiyin who made him do it.

He never expected that this was actually Pei Muye's own idea.

Pei Muye demanded praise: "Wife, how did I do?"

"That's great." Lin Xiyin suppressed a laugh. "Keep it up."

Pei Muye rubbed his face against her neck: "Wife, I promise I'll make you happy every day from now on and I won't make you angry anymore."

“No need for every day,” Lin Xiyin said; “and you don’t need to make me happy on purpose, just don’t make me angry.”

“Definitely not,” Pei Muye said. “Look, I’m about to invite Chi Tianlin to dinner.”

“Actually, there’s no need for that. If you don’t want to, it’s fine,” Lin Xiyin said. “True friends don’t care about this.”

Hearing her say that, Pei Muye still felt a pang of jealousy.

But for those four years, he wasn't by Lin Xiyin's side; it was Chi Tianlin who took care of her.

In this respect, he owed Chi Tianlin a favor.

“But good friends always want to know how the other is doing, right?” Pei Muye said. “Eating and chatting together should be quite enjoyable. Besides, wife, Chi Tianlin is not young anymore, you should persuade him to find a girlfriend.”

Lin Xiyin glared at him: "Isn't this your real purpose?"

"I swear it's not! I just thought of it and that's why I'm telling you."

"Whether he finds a girlfriend or not has nothing to do with me. Besides, even if I tell him to find one, will he actually do it?"

"As a friend, it's only right to show concern. Wouldn't it be pitiful to see him grow old alone?"

Lin Xiyin knew what Pei Muye was planning.

Although no one has openly acknowledged that Chi Tianlin likes her, she is unsure of his current attitude towards her.

What if they no longer like it?

Lin Xiyin was not one to be delusional.

However, it wasn't quite appropriate for her to tell Chi Tianlin to find a girlfriend quickly.

Although she considered herself friends with Chi Tianlin, they weren't at the point where they could talk about anything.

Besides, given Chi Tianlin's personality, he always has a plan for everything he does.

He wouldn't just do whatever someone tells him to do.

Moreover, Lin Xiyin always felt that it was somewhat awkward for someone of her status to say such things to Chi Tianlin.

But actually, even putting that aside, it can be awkward for three people to eat together.

Fortunately, Lin Youxing is here.

Children are the best at creating a lively atmosphere.

Lin Youxing hasn't seen her godfather for several months.

However, the little guy now has his own communication equipment and has also become friends with Chi Tianlin. The two chat from time to time.

So when we meet again, we don't feel awkward at all.

Chi Tianlin genuinely likes him.

Although the little guy looks like Pei Muye, Lin Youxing was practically raised by Chi Tianlin before he turned three.

This kind of feeling is incomparable to anyone else's.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were like father and son.

Pei Muye felt a little sour, but he also knew what role Chi Tianlin had played during those years.

He wasn't by Lin Xiyin's side at that time, but Chi Tianlin was taking care of her and the child, filling the void of a father figure in the child's young heart.

He felt grateful, melancholy, and heartbroken.

Lin Youxing's intimacy and dependence on Chi Tianlin made Chi Tianlin feel that he hadn't spoiled this brat for nothing.

After they had almost finished eating, Chi Tianlin dropped a bombshell: "I plan to go back to China after the New Year, and I will gradually shift my focus back to work. Then I will have more time to spend with Youyou."

Lin Xiyin was taken aback: "Going back to China? Will you be staying in the country from now on?"

"I travel occasionally for work," Chi Tianlin said. "I spend most of my time in China."

Pei Muye glanced at him.

Lin Xiyin also glanced at Pei Muye.

Pei Muye said, "That's great. We'll see if there are any suitable projects we can collaborate on."

Chi Tianlin smiled and said, "I'm really looking forward to it."

Lin Youxing was going to the restroom, and Pei Muye took his hand and left.

Once only the two of them were left in the private room, Lin Xiyin asked, "Are you still alone now?"

Chi Tianlin hummed in agreement: "What, like my parents, you're pressuring me to get married?"

Lin Xiyin smiled and said, "I didn't mean that. I just think that if you meet the right person, you shouldn't miss the opportunity. Love... is a beautiful thing, and I hope you can try to accept it."

"Yes, I will," Chi Tianlin said. "It's just that I have high standards, and I haven't found anyone I like yet."

"No rush, take your time choosing," Lin Xiyin said. "Anyway, we're back in China now. Our girls are definitely better than those blondes and blue-eyed girls. They're beautiful inside and out, both beautiful and intelligent, perfect for a family."

“That’s right,” Chi Tianlin said. “I heard Lu Zuofan is pursuing Jingjing?”

"You've heard about this?" Lin Xiyin was quite surprised. "Has this news even spread overseas?"
