Chapter 5: Late Return 5

"Are you awake?"

The room was well soundproofed, and Fu Yin heard someone talking outside, but he couldn't make out what they were saying.

But judging from the voice, it should be a man.

Fu Yin swallowed and suddenly became a little nervous.

There was no response from the person outside for a long time. She was startled when someone turned the doorknob and came in from the outside.

She panicked and raised the vase in her hand and smashed it towards the man. She closed her eyes and was extremely scared.

There was no unexpected sound. Instead, the bottle was caught by the man and her wrist was also held.

"Be careful not to hurt your hands." Lin Xu's gentle voice fell from above her head. He gently stroked the ends of her hair, staring at her intently.

Fu Yin's cheeks flushed and he felt his heart beating faster.

When she met the man's clear eyes, they were so gentle that they seemed to melt her.

Her eyelashes trembled and she bit her lip subconsciously: "Why is it you?"

"It's been so long since we last met, you don't even call me brother anymore?"

Lin Xu laughed helplessly, his voice was clear and pleasant, and there was a hint of tenderness in his eyes as he looked at her.

Fu Yin turned away her eyes, feeling a little nervous. Staring into his gentle eyes, she would definitely soften her heart.

She had sworn that she would never forgive him in her life.

But what happened yesterday?

Fu Yin's mind flashed back to the memory of playing games with them last night, and it seemed that he had rejected Liang Shuhong?

She couldn't remember what happened after that.

It's just that someone took her home and took care of her for a long time, and she woke up here.

Lin Xu couldn't help but chuckle when he saw her blushing.

He stared at Fu Yin, and thinking of what happened last night, he seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.

When he saw the message from Xu Nianbai last night, he felt a pain somewhere in his heart.

I was afraid that she was really going to run away with someone else, but I also felt that stopping her from finding someone better was wasting her time.

This time he returned to China because his mother urged him to come back.

It's for family marriage.

Lin's business has been in recession in the past two years, and many projects have stalled. The venture capital company he worked for abroad has also opened a branch in China. He didn't plan to leave this time and simply brought all his foreign industries back.

The venture capital industry is inherently risky, and every investment is a bet, but he has never lost this bet.

Only when it came to Fu Yin, he was defeated step by step.

He actually had no objection to the marriage. He had met the girl and found her to be a well-educated and well-mannered lady from a prominent family. Her family had been a scholarly family for generations and she herself was a university professor. More importantly, the two families were old friends.

They had a quick meeting at the club yesterday and he wanted to send her home, but when he saw Xu Nianbai's message, he rushed out without a second thought.

He lost control and searched room after room in the club, and finally saw her in the innermost private room.

He was nervous and frightened, and the moment he saw her, he was completely defeated.

"I didn't say anything weird yesterday, did I?"

Fu Yin understood his own temperament. Before he had a job, he would get drunk after drinking half a glass of wine. After he started working, he gradually began to have social events and became able to get drunk after drinking a few glasses of wine, but in fact, he was not very good at it.

And when you drink too much, you will become very clingy and want to cling to that person and not get off.

If Lin Xu had sent her back yesterday, with her dishonest character, she would probably have done something.

But even if he really did it, he would just choose to remain silent and pretend not to know.

That was the case five years ago.

What's more, she was still sober five years ago.

No matter how many times she asked, he responded indifferently, and she thought he was a cold-blooded animal with no emotions at all.

"You drank too much and fell asleep. I made breakfast."

As expected, Lin Xu avoided the topic and responded perfunctorily.

She sneered, her eyelashes trembled, and her eyes felt sore.

Fu Yin took a deep breath and walked around Lin Xu and out of the room.

He followed behind, and with a few quick steps, he took her wrist and said, "Don't drink so much next time."

"What do you care about me?" Fu Yin shook off his hand without hesitation, his face looking grim.

Lin Xu's thin lips tightened and his expression gradually darkened. Just as he was about to lecture her about how dangerous this was, the cell phone on the table suddenly rang.

Fu Yin walked to the dining table, picked up a glass of water, and glanced at him inadvertently.

I saw him holding a cell phone with his back turned to answer the call. The profile of his face was sharp and cold, and there was no emotion at all.

"Um, sorry, it was my sister who answered the phone yesterday."

"Okay, see you tonight."

Lin Xu ended the call with a few simple words. From his tone, Fu Yin roughly guessed who he was talking to on the phone.

It should be a woman, and the last person might be the fiancée.

Are they in love now?

So what does it mean that he brought her home?

Fu Yin frowned, feeling a little annoyed.

It was clearly water, but it felt painful when I swallowed it.

After Fu Yin finished drinking, he slammed the cup on the table and walked barefoot to Lin Xu: "Didn't you say you wouldn't let me drink?"

"Well, have you figured it out?" Lin Xu's voice was still gentle.

Fu Yin bit his lip, and the fire in his heart was ignited.

"What's your identity? Brother? Or lover?"

Fu Yin looked contemptuous, and his sharp eyes stared at him for a long time without moving away.

"Yin Yin, I am your elder brother, I have the right to control you." Lin Xu's eyes darkened. When he saw Fu Yin's stubborn look, he knew that she was angry again.

Fu Yin leaned closer, stepped on his slippers with his bare feet, wrapped his arms around his neck, and leaned closer to his face: "So what we're doing, is this something that siblings can do?"

"Come down." Lin Xu remained calm.

"Are you indifferent no matter what I do?" Fu Yin's voice was hoarse, and he kept protesting in his heart.

She just wanted to know what she was in Lin Xu's heart.

If she was just his sister, why would he wear the watch she gave him and even hide their photos in the room?

They were both getting married, and he brought her home and let her sleep in his bed.

This is ridiculous.

Fu Yin did not let go of Lin Xu. She lowered her eyes to look at his left wrist. The watch dial that was slightly exposed was already quite old. It was a mechanical watch dial that she gave him with the pocket money she had secretly saved seven years ago.

At that time, that money was all her assets, but to Lin Xu it was just the money for a meal.

This watch is not worth anything at all, but he takes such good care of it that there is not even the most basic scratch or bump on it.

"Brother, is this how it should be?"

The man's hands were on the top of the sofa behind him, his body was stiff, and facing the woman who kept getting closer, his ears couldn't help but turn red.

"Yin Yin, come down."

"I have something else to do at the company. If you finish breakfast before going to work, I won't see you off."

Lin Xu took a breath. He couldn't refuse her approach at all, but if he didn't refuse, he didn't know what she would do next.

He pulled her wrists apart, and Fu Yin got off him and staggered back two steps.

Fu Yin was dissatisfied, so he grabbed his arm and bit it hard.

Lin Xu's face looked grim, and he let her continue to act like a spoiled child without saying anything.

Fu Yin vented his dissatisfaction and took the opportunity to snatch the phone from his hand, swiped the screen and entered the password.

The password is still the same as the day they first met. He hasn't changed it in all these years.

They also said they were just brother and sister.

She looked through the call logs and saw that the call was from an unfamiliar number and there was no note. She couldn't help but frowned: "Why didn't you give her a note?"

"What do you want to see?"

Lin Xu pulled out his phone and put it back in his pocket. Seeing that she was still unforgiving, he felt helpless.

"I just want to know what kind of person is able to stand by your side."

Fu Yin's nose felt sore and her eyes turned red immediately. She lowered her head hastily, not wanting him to see her like this.

She seemed so jealous.

I am indeed jealous.

She spent thirteen years trying to get into his heart, and she didn't know how long that person had known each other before they were going to get married.

Fu Yin's heart sank, and he ran back to his room in a hurry without daring to listen to Lin Xu's answer.

Lin Xu froze in place, and when he saw the tear in the corner of her eye, his fingers clenched into fists.

He still felt heartbroken.

The phone vibrated twice and a text message came.

It was a reminder from his mother, asking him to come home for dinner tonight.

Lin Xu looked at the time, stared at the door of the room for a long time, and finally turned around and left the apartment.

Fu Yin noticed that there was no movement outside, so he walked to the door and stuck his head out, looking into the living room. He found that the man who had been standing next to the sofa had disappeared, so he knew that he had left.

She bit her lower lip tightly to prevent the sob from escaping, but her heart felt like it was being gnawed by countless ants, and the tiny pain spread throughout her chest.

She slowly squatted down and lay down by the door, but tears still fell.

He refuses to admit it and keeps avoiding it. Why?

Fu Yin didn't know how long she had been crying. Her eyes were blurry and painful, and she didn't come back to her senses until she heard the phone ringing on the table.

When she stood up, she felt a black screen in front of her eyes, and she quickly grabbed the cabinet next to her to steady herself.

She developed anemia after Lin Xu left. Because she had not eaten for a long time and was depressed, she was not getting enough nutrition and the root of the disease was established.

Fu Yin picked up the phone and took a look. He found that it was Jiang Qian calling, so he immediately swiped down to answer it.

"Yin Yin! Are you okay?" As soon as the call was connected, she heard the rough voice coming from the phone, and she subconsciously held the phone away.

She turned on the hands-free modem and started packing her things again.

"I'm fine, I'm at Lin Xu's house."

"I knew you were at your brother's house, so I was relieved and didn't look for you all night."

"It's all Xu Nianbai's fault. He didn't stop me, and he took advantage of me last night." Jiang Qian spat out in a bad mood and cried bitterly for a long time, feeling that her innocence was completely ruined.

"Don't you like him? You talk about it all the time, but now you're not happy about it when it really happens." Fu Yin teased, and after packing up his things, he helped Lin Xu make the bed again.

"Yin Yin, I've noticed you've become a bad person. You're even saying such outrageous things."

"How can I like him?"

"One time you were drunk and kept hugging me and calling his name, saying that you had liked him for a long time. You also kept pulling me and asking if I was willing to be with you."

The author has something to say:

Here I come, thank you all for your support, please forgive me for my poor writing, I am still slowly improving!

Small Theater:

Lin Xu: My wife, stop making trouble.

Fu Yin: If I can't be your wife, no one else can either.
