Chapter 48 Preference

"Waste yesterday

Now you are in front of me

I want love

Please give me a chance."

Lin Xi's cell phone ringtone changed from Red Rose to Preference.

The person who called was Xuedan.

"Hello." Lin Xi answered.

"Do you have time? Can you accompany me for a while?" Xuedan said, and Lin Xi heard the sobbing voice on the other end.

"Okay, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

They met at the old place. Xuedan showed Lin Xi her diamond ring when she saw her and said, "Marriage is easy."

"Congratulations." Lin Xi said.

"I'm different from you. You married the person you love, but I didn't. I really don't like Chen Jialian." Xuedan looked regretful when she said this.

“Those who are favored are always fearless.”

"Oh Mo, you think I'm being favored? Forget it, Chen Jialian married a beautiful, rich woman. Who is marrying above their station?"

"It seems that the other party's conditions are also good." Lin Xi was just stating the facts.

"What do you think? Do you still want to divorce Shen Yan? He's the campus hunk I worked so hard to get! Don't leave! Don't leave!"

Lin Xi wanted to laugh, "Love has its own destiny. Sometimes I think that fate is too hard to understand."

"Why do you say that?"

"He didn't love me at first, he even hated me. He didn't come home for three years, and I thought we were destined to be apart and go our separate ways. But unexpectedly, a drunken encounter by chance brought our marriage back to life."

"So that's how it is." Xuedan thought thoughtfully after hearing this.

"Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. I might fall in love with him in the future. Actually, his conditions are pretty good, objectively speaking."

"Well... we're already engaged, and the wedding is next month. Xixi, you must come."

"Oh, the wedding is next month, you guys are really quick."

"It's not as fast as you and Shen Yan back then. You sent out wedding invitations the day after you announced your relationship."

"Oh, if you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten. It was so many years ago..." Yes, it has been four or five years.

"Chu Jingchuan..." Xuedan mentioned this person again, and it can be seen how much she missed him.

Xuedan lowered her eyes and smiled, "This man has a strong background. He's from Singapore and has an astonishingly impressive background."

"I guessed it." Lin Xi replied indifferently.

The second time they met was when he was being hunted. From that moment on, Lin Xi knew that this man was dangerous. "So, even if my family is wealthy, I'm afraid I'm not worthy of Chu Jingchuan."

Lin Xi always felt that Xuedan was in a bad mood and seemed to be immersed in sadness.

"You really don't have the joy of a bride. Chen Jialian is really not bad, and people like Chu Jingchuan are too dangerous. A life of blood and gore is really not suitable for a simple girl like you."

"What's so good about Chen Jialian? He's better looking than most guys, and he's more ambitious, reliable, and responsible than the rich second generation. Maybe before I met Chu Jingchuan, I would have thought that one day I would fall in love with him, but not now."

"Then you regret your marriage. This is what you want to hear, right?"

Lin Xi hit the nail on the head for Xuedan.

"Break off the engagement? My parents will definitely not agree, that's all there is to it." Xuedan said halfway through and threw a white paper into the coffee.

He drank the coffee in one gulp. "It can only be that I'm sick and the wedding has been postponed..."

"What did you eat?" Lin Xi was surprised.

"It's a laxative. Of course you have to act realistically."

Lin Xi hesitated to speak.

"Okay, your body, you are fully responsible."

"Don't worry, Xixi, you won't die."

****

At night, just as Lin Xi's Porsche turned into the courtyard, Xuedan called.

Lin Xi opened the car door and answered Xuedan's call.

Tap tap tap - the eight-centimeter stilettos collide with the brick floor.

The woman was becoming more and more graceful, and she was emitting a feminine charm that Chen Yan had never noticed before. She had already entered the living room and was carrying Xiao Fu.

Xuedan said weakly on the other end of the phone, "The wedding has been postponed for a month... I must see Chu Jingchuan again. Xixi, please accompany me to Singapore."

Lin Xi will regret her blind agreement tomorrow. "Okay, I have something else to do. Let's talk tomorrow."

"Okay, see you tomorrow."

After Lin Xi hung up, she looked at Shen Yan and smiled, “Don’t you hate small animals?”

"I don't like it very much."

"Oh~ So are you going to take Xiaofu to take a bath now?"

Xiao Fu was dirty, and Lin Xi guessed that it must be Chen Yan.

"Meow~" The little kitten opened its little mouth towards Lin Xi.

"Then I'll go with Mr. Shen."

"Okay."

The two of them had no children, and when they were bathing Xiaofu together, Lin Xi had an illusion for a moment.

But furry children are still considered "children."

The kitten on the Internet was struggling desperately to take a bath, but Xiaofu was very well-behaved and seemed to enjoy it.

"Do you wash it when I'm not at home?" Lin Xi was curious.

"I washed it once."

"In fact, Mr. Shen, you are also not sincere. You have a sharp tongue but a soft heart."

"Really?"

"yes."

***

In the bathroom, Lin Xi hugged Chen Yan from behind, and the two had just finished their skin-to-skin contact.

The woman was now dazed, and the water in the bathroom was too hot, so she felt like she was about to faint.

Recalling what happened half an hour ago, Xiao Fu wet her shirt. She had to take a shower before going to bed anyway. She handed Xiao Fu directly to Chen Yan, dried her hair, and she stayed in the bathroom to undress.

But I never thought that I would turn back out of disgust.

He pulled her into his arms and whispered in her ear, "We've tried everything, but the bathroom still isn't there."

So, we have this scene now.

Chen Yan was still not satisfied, so they moved on to another battlefield. Lin Xi's brain was deprived of oxygen from the kiss, and they lingered until death.

…

After a cigarette, the man who was so passionate just now has returned to his usual coldness.

Lin Xi buttoned up her clothes and said to Shen Yan, "Let's go downstairs and eat together."

He said lightly: "Yeah."

The next morning, at the dinner table, Lin Xi said, "Let me go to Shen's with you. I think I left some documents in your office."

"good."

The man walked in front and the woman followed behind, looking down at her phone.

The president and his wife rarely appear together, entering and leaving Shen Group together.

Half of the employees of Shen Group don’t know Lin Xi, the legendary president’s wife.

As I walked into the elevator, I attracted a lot of attention.

Some female employees exclaimed, "The president's wife is so beautiful!"

I went to the 13th floor with Shen Yan and went to the president's office.

She searched for it herself with ease and finally found the sealed bag document.

"Don't you want to sit down for a while?" Chen Yan asked her with a smile.

"Okay, I've found the documents anyway, and I can work here. I'll leave at noon."

"good."

He is busy with his own things and she is busy with hers.

It was noon and Lin Xi finally finished her work.

He went to get a glass of water and walked over to Chen Yan.

Drinking water and looking at him.

"Come here." Shen Yan said without changing his expression.

"What's going on?"

Lin Xi moved closer, and Shen Yan kissed her.

Lin Xi was dazed at first, then closed her eyes and responded with Chen Yan.

"Dongdongdong---"

There was a knock on the door.

Lin Xi suddenly pulled away from Chen Yan and kept some distance.

My breathing became a little rapid. I tidied my hair, walked to my office, and packed my file bag.

This man is really, he never shows his emotions.

"Come in."

When the secretary came in, Chen Yan was writing a project document with his eyes lowered.

"Mr. Shen, Manager Chen has submitted his project. Please review it."

"Well, put it here." At this time, Shen Yan raised his eyes and glanced at the secretary.

After the secretary left, Lin Xi also picked up her Chanel bag and left.

She likes her teachers at school and her leaders at work. Among the thousands of employees in the Shen Group, there are naturally some female employees who look down on Lin Xi.

But he didn't dare to act rashly on the surface and kept a low profile behind people's backs.

Her beauty and family background are impeccable and there is no room for compromise.

Back and forth, I heard that Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen’s relationship is not very good, and the two of them are a combination of interests.

Mr. Shen doesn’t love Mrs. Shen.

*****

As soon as Lin Xi stepped out of the door of Shen Group, the phone rang.

She answered: "What's wrong, Xuedan?"

At the same time, open the car door and return to the driving seat.

I put my phone on the phone holder and started the car. At the same time, I heard Xuedan say, "You agreed to accompany me to Singapore today. Where are you now, Miss?"

"Singapore? When did you say that?" Lin Xi looked confused.

"Yesterday! And you promised me that yourself."

Lin Xi suddenly remembered that she seemed to have said this.

"Sorry, Xuedan, I didn't hear you clearly yesterday. What are you going to Singapore for? To find Chu Jingchuan?"

"Um."

"My dear, don't even think about it. It will be hard to find him even if you go to Singapore, unless you..."

"I used my family's influence to attend a dinner party he was going to."

"Have you really thought it through?" Lin Xi looked at the red light ahead and stopped the car.

"Yes. No matter what, I want to see Chu Jingchuan once before we get married. One last time, even if it's just a farewell."

"Okay, then you wait for me for two days. My schedule is full now, so I have to ask for leave before I can go with you."

"I knew you were the best, Xixi. Hurry up!"

"Um."

In the afternoon, Lin Xi returned to the company and asked Linda for the schedule.

See how to adjust your leave.

Linda was incredulous, "Director, you want to take seven days off?"

Usually Lin Xi is a workaholic.

"Yeah. I've turned down all the dinners with Mr. Gu. I won't take the project anymore. Report it to the board of directors and have them assign someone."

"Okay, Director."

"Okay, that's all. Let's arrange a meeting for tonight."

Linda: "OK."

…

The meeting was also very tiring. Lin Xi couldn't speak anymore, so he asked Wang Xiao to speak for him.

I slacked off for a while and played with my phone.

I got off work on time at 10 o'clock and applied some lip gloss before leaving.

Carry your bag and go home!

Go home to see Xiaofu and have dinner with my husband.

At around twelve o'clock, Lin Xi and Shen Yan lay down, holding hands.

She was too tired and wanted to tell Chen Yan that she would leave for Singapore tomorrow night, but she didn't even have the strength to speak, only sleepiness.

The evening breeze was gentle, and the yellow roses in the backyard seemed to be in full bloom.

A faint floral scent permeated the cool air, and sleep came from all directions.

The next morning, I was woken up by the chirping of birds.

Hearing the chirping of birds, Lin Xi guessed that it must be a good day today.

As expected, it was so hot that it killed me.

The high temperatures across the country have finally spread to northern Beijing.

I changed into a dress, took my plane ticket, and drove to the airport to meet Xuedan.

After checking their tickets, the two of them boarded the first-class cabin. Xuedan took off her sunglasses, and her face, which had been gloomy for many days, finally showed a bit of joy.

Lin Xi was reading a book, not looking at her, and said lightly, "You're about to meet your ideal person. Are you happy?"

"Happy! Very happy. Thank you, my precious Xixi."

"As long as you're happy."

Lin Xi turned a page of the book, and the plane flew through the clouds, across the ocean, and arrived in Singapore.

There is a difference in day and night between Singapore and China. It is daytime in Singapore now.

Lin Xi checked her phone and found that Shen Yan had not replied to the message yet.

Xuedan was so happy that she even turned around in a circle.

"Oh, that's great. We can see each other tomorrow. There's a dinner party tomorrow night and another one the day after tomorrow. I just hope Chu Jingchuan can go to both of them!"

"Chu Jingchuan, what's good?" Lin Xi asked.

"Then what's so good about Chen Yan?"

She was speechless for a moment. What's the good thing? Lin Xi thought about it.

On his strengths: "Powerful and handsome."

This should be what outsiders see as disgust.

But Lin Xi liked the teenage boy who was full of vigor and vitality.

She has liked him since she was a child, but in fact, she has already loved him enough?

I had a naive and innocent crush on Mrs. Shen since junior high school, and it has been four or five years since I got married to her.

For more than half of her twenty years of life, Chen Yan's figure occupied her.

"I also like Chu Jingchuan because he has power and looks. Just like how you look at Chen Yan."

"Silly, it's different."

"Well, it seems different." Xuedan said disappointedly.

"But the same thing is, I really like him. I thought about him for a long time, looked up a lot about him, and I like him. I just like him."

Xuedan spoke very seriously, her face without any heavy makeup was sweet and elegant.

This time, the words of rebuttal were on the tip of Lin Xi's tongue, but he didn't say them out loud.

At night, Xuedan opened a bottle of red wine and clinked glasses with Lin Xi.

The sky is full of stars tonight, shining brightly.

Xuedan was a little drunk. "I've lived for over twenty years and never liked anyone. This time, I finally met someone."

Lin Xi said nothing and just listened to Xuedan.

"Actually, liking something is a feeling, a feeling that's hard to explain. You said you liked his good looks, but that's not entirely true."

"Hehehe..." Lin Xi chuckled.

I wonder if I have been like this before?

It turns out that love really can make people stupid, and those involved are confused while those who are watching can see things clearly.

"Oh Mo, are you laughing at me!?"

"No, I'm not laughing at you."

There was no way to investigate because they had drunk too much and were now unconscious. The two women both passed out drunk on the sofa.

After a while, Lin Xi was awakened by the cold evening breeze outside the window.

She staggered to close the window, then picked up her cell phone, her cheeks flushed and her eyes blurred as she looked at the message. The message was crystal clear.

She took advantage of the alcohol and hit Chen Yan.

"Hey, Mr. Shen. You're so busy, so busy that you can't even reply to a message. What's wrong? Are you mad at me? Because I didn't tell you in advance that I was coming to Singapore? Oh my, what a stingy man you are!"

Lin Xi got drunk and started to act crazy and madly.
