After Liu Yong and others left, Li Lin did not return to the hotel, but went to the community where Li Lan lived.

I have been busy with work these few days in the provincial capital and have no time to meet Li Lan. Now that I finally have some free time, it's time to go see her.

He first called Li Lan, then walked to a nearby supermarket, carefully selected some fresh fruits, and walked towards Li Lan's house.

It was dusk, the weather was neither too hot nor too cold, and a gentle breeze blew by.

The streets are filled with people getting off work, all in a hurry, rushing home.

Li Lin, carrying some fruits, walked slowly forward under the shadow of huge banyan trees.

Mottled light and shadows fell on him, but he felt particularly relaxed and happy.

He was about to meet Li Lan, and he felt indescribably relaxed and happy.

This kind of pleasure is something I have never experienced from any other woman.

Arriving at Li Lan's residence, Li Lin knocked on her door with excitement.

With a "creak", the door was gently pushed open from the inside out, and Li Lan's peaceful smile appeared in front of Li Lin like a spring breeze.

"Come in quickly, I'll get you slippers." Li Lan said with a smile, her voice gentle and kind.

The slippers were the same pair I wore when I stayed at her house last time.

Li Lin placed the fruit on the dining table and couldn't help but take a closer look at Li Lan who was bending over to tidy up the shoe cabinet.

She was wearing a tulle dress, and her hot and sexy figure was faintly visible under the tulle. This hazy feeling was the most tempting.

Turning around, Li Lan saw Li Lin in a daze and smiled, "How is the investment promotion work going?" Her eyes were full of concern.

Li Lin quickly shifted his gaze and said with a smile, "Well, the contract has been signed. In a few days, Longjian will send someone to Shannan County to implement the factory construction."

"Please sit down. Why do you seem so reserved after not seeing you for a few days?" Li Lan asked Li Lin to sit on the sofa, and then said, "You are not leaving tonight, are you? I will cook for you later." There was anticipation in her eyes.

"Sister, don't worry. I will go back to the hotel soon and my colleagues will be waiting for me there. I just missed you and came here specially to see you." Li Lin said with a smile, his eyes full of tenderness.

Hearing this, the smile on Li Lan's face faded a little. She felt a little disappointed, as she thought Li Lin would not leave tonight.

"Well, work is important." She adjusted her mood and forced a smile.

But it was hard to conceal the loss in her heart. Ever since the last kidnapping experience, she always had inexplicable palpitations at night. Every time she woke up from a nightmare, she missed the night when she slept peacefully in Li Lin's arms.

But what could she say? Could she beg Li Lin to stay tonight? And then tell him, I want you to hold me tonight? It's embarrassing just to think about it...

Just as the two were chatting, Li Lin's cell phone suddenly rang.

He picked it up and saw a phone number that was both familiar and unfamiliar.

After the call was connected, Chen Shuping's low, frustrated voice came from the phone, "Xiao Lin, you have to help me..."

Ever since learning that Chen Shuping had betrayed Qian Lingyun, Li Lin deleted Chen Shuping's phone number.

He didn't want to see this disgusting woman, and didn't even want to see her name in his address book.

Mayor Qian was so good to her and gave almost everything for her, but she did such a dirty and filthy thing behind Mayor Qian's back.

I feel sick just thinking about her! But what was coming finally came.

Li Lin asked her coldly, "Is there anything wrong?" His voice was full of disgust and impatience.

Feeling Li Lin's cold attitude, Chen Shuping choked. She said in an extremely humble manner, "Xiao Lin, it's my fault. I'm sorry to Lao Qian, but I also have my own difficulties... I have devoted my entire youth to Lao Qian, and what have I gained?"

Her voice was tearful, trying to win Li Lin's sympathy.

As she spoke, she began to cry and sobbed, "When he was the executive vice mayor, I was responsible for taking care of the family for him. Later, he fell into poverty, but I still stayed with him. I can be said to have never left him..."

"Xiao Lin, do you understand what I mean? I was wrong, but Lao Qian was too cruel. He didn't even give me a chance to change. I know you and Lao Qian are as close as brothers. Can you help me and persuade Lao Qian to give me a chance?"

Chen Shuping's voice was anxious and complaining, "From now on, I will behave myself and serve him comfortably... Xiaolin... I..."

Humph! If Mayor Qian hadn't made a comeback and become a high-ranking official, would Chen Shuping be so humble and beg for forgiveness?

Damn! This kind of person is really shameless...

Li Lin interrupted her without waiting for her to continue, "Do you have anything else to say? I'm busy, so I'll hang up." His tone was firm, without any hesitation.

"Xiao Lin, you..." Chen Shuping expected that Li Lin's attitude would not be very good, but she didn't expect him to be so cold and ruthless.

Chen Shuping stopped crying and calmed down for two seconds. Then she suddenly laughed like crazy and said, "Li Lin, I didn't expect you to be as cold-blooded and ruthless as Lao Qian... Let me tell you, I'm not begging you, but I want you to tell Lao Qian that I will never give up unless he gives me a satisfactory answer."

Her voice became sharp and crazy, she had completely lost her mind. "I admit that I was wrong first. I couldn't stand the loneliness and I couldn't control my desires... But didn't Qian Lingyun do anything wrong? He just did shopping and cooking all day... The most talked about thing around me was that rice was expensive today and oil was scarce tomorrow... Do you know how I have been through the past six months? I feel like I'm going to collapse!"
