Chapter 153 The past can never be returned

Yu Yu was speechless.

"But Miss Lin..."

Lin Shu felt a bit of a headache: "Let's put this matter aside for now, and don't come to talk to me about it again."

Giving up Weiting Technology is equivalent to handing herself, her elder brother and He Yuanhang over to Zhou Yanli. She is not that stupid.

"Okay, Miss Lin."

Yu Yu was concentrating on driving, while in the rearview mirror, Lin Shu was answering Zhou Yanli's call.

"Let's pick up Shuangshuang together this afternoon. It's been a long time since our family has had a meal together."

Zhou Yanli's voice sounded particularly gentle and low from the other end of the phone.

Just like when Lin Shu first met him, he politely called her "Lin Shu". At that time, just hearing the voice was enough to make Lin Shu fall in love with him.

"good."

Lin Shu answered with gritted teeth, and the caller on the other end hung up.

I went to pick up Shuangshuang in the afternoon, but Zhou Yanli didn't show up.

Lin Shu thought he was just talking and didn't take it seriously. After taking Zhou Shuang home, Zhou Shuang did her homework while Lin Shu helped her.

The feeling was as if returning to the beginning, but only Lin Shu knew in his heart that all this could no longer be undone.

It was almost six o'clock when the sound of Zhou Yanli's sports car engine could be heard in the yard.

When he returned home, Lin Shu was still helping his daughter with her homework and didn't take his arrival seriously.

But when Zhou Shuang heard it, she immediately dropped the homework she was doing and rushed downstairs.

Lin Shu followed him out. Since she had something to ask for, she naturally no longer had the cold and indifferent attitude she had shown towards Zhou Yanli before, but she did not act too humble.

She knew Zhou Yanli very well. Once she showed that she needed something from him, he would definitely use more drastic measures to force her to surrender.

Lin Shu walked out and saw Zhou Yanli in the hall. He was wearing a black shirt with a slightly open collar and slightly messy hair, which was very different from his usual meticulous and serious image.

He and Lin Shu met eyes. When he looked at Lin Shu, there was a hint of playfulness in his eyes and a ruffian look on his face.

Lin Shu ignored him. Zhou Shuang threw herself into Zhou Yanli's arms and immediately saw the new doll in his hand.

"Daddy, did you buy this for me?"

Zhou Shuang happily hugged him in his arms. Only then did Lin Shu realize that he hadn't bought a toy for Zhou Shuang in a long time.

"Daddy didn't buy it, your aunt Wenxin bought it."

Zhou Yanli touched Zhou Shuang's little head, his eyes full of doting.

Zhou Shuang was happily holding the toy and was about to say "Thank you, Aunt Wenxin" to Zhou Yanli, but when the words were on the tip of her tongue, she saw Lin Shu was still beside her, and she instantly swallowed the word "thank you".

"Oh, then I'll go upstairs. You talk to Mommy."

Zhou Shuang hadn't seen her mommy for a while. Aunt Wenxin was also very busy recently, so there was no one to accompany her.

She still remembered the last time she had a toothache, and she didn't dare eat sweets at night. When she came back and thought about what Brother Xiaoyu said, she felt that it made sense.

No matter what, she would never think that Aunt Wenxin was mean to her or deliberately gave her a toothache. Maybe Aunt Wenxin didn't know either, she just doted on her.

After she came back, her mother was no longer as strict with her as before. But when she was with her, she would still make sure she went to bed early and brushed her teeth at night.

After Zhou Shuang experienced excruciating pain, she slowly realized her mother's good intentions. Maybe it was really like what Brother Xiaoyu said, that her mother was doing it for her own good.

Zhou Yanli watched Zhou Shuang go upstairs. Lin Shu was still standing nearby. She was very quiet, so quiet that it seemed as if no one else was in the house at all.

Lin Shu discovered that Sister Xi had not prepared dinner at all, so he asked him to pick up Zhou Shuang and said that they wanted to have a family dinner together. What did that mean?

It couldn't be that he was taking her and Zhou Shuang out to eat together.

After more than six years of marriage, Zhou Yanli had never taken her and Zhou Shuang to dine in public.

So Lin Shu didn't think that Zhou Yanli suddenly had a change of heart or wanted to save his relationship with her and decided to take them mother and daughter out.

Zhou Yanli looked at Lin Shu. She was wearing casual clothes today, which was completely different from her previous style.

In the past, even when Lin Shu was at home, he would wear clothes that made him feel comfortable and pleasing to the eye.

She would not be as casual as she is now, nor would she wear commuter clothes like she did at Feiyuan Technology. She looked more professional and less gentle than before.

Zhou Yanli really disliked the vigorous and decisive attitude of women in the workplace. That was not the way a gentle and virtuous wife should dress.

He frowned, and Lin Shu also looked at Zhou Yanli in a bad mood.

The man who had pretended to be gentle and polite in front of her for six years always had the aura of a married man every time he appeared.

He was wearing a black shirt again today, but just like last time in the office, two of the buttons on the collar of his shirt were undone, and the skin that was faintly visible would make any woman blush.

Lin Shu couldn't help but think of what happened that day. His cheeks felt hot and a nameless anger rose in his heart.

Is he planning to continue this scoundrel attitude, or is this the original Zhou Yanli? Could it be that his elegance over the past six years has been an act?

Lin Shu looked down on any man around her, the biggest reason being that she didn't like those rich boys who were eloquent and dressed in a hipster style.

Zhou Yanli had the appearance of a wealthy second-generation but the temperament of a child from an aristocratic family. Lin Shu was deeply attracted to him the first time he saw him.

"Go upstairs and change your clothes. We're going to Grandpa's house for dinner tonight. He won't be happy if he sees you dressed like this."

Lin Shu sneered in his heart.

It turned out that what he meant by the family of three going out to eat was going back to the old house to see the old man.

Therefore, the reason why Zhou Yanli still left her room until now was because she was still profitable to him.

"good."

She did not resist and returned to her original room, which she had not been to for a long time.

The moment he opened the cabinet door out of habit, Lin Shu was completely stunned.

In the closet, her original clothes were neatly arranged.

Same size, same style, not even a piece of underwear was missing. It was as if she had never left.

But Lin Shu clearly remembered that she packed up all her clothes and took them away when she left.

The only things in the closet were the clothes Zhou Yanli usually wore.

Now both of their clothes were put back in their original places and placed together.

Lin Shu took out a piece of clothing that suited her. Apart from the new clothes, everything else was exactly the same as before she left.

After changing his clothes, Lin Shu looked in the mirror. The woman who had devoted herself to Zhou Yanli without regrets for the past six years seemed to have returned.

However, what was different from before was that there was a weirdness in her eyes.

Lin Shu withdrew his gaze and glanced at the bedside table where a fountain pen lay.

Lin Shu walked over.

It was the magic pen she bought for Zhou Shuang, the kind that would make the writing disappear completely after half an hour. It was originally used for Zhou Shuang to practice calligraphy.

She thought Zhou Shuang might have dropped it while playing here at some point, so she took the pen with her.

Zhou Yanli stood in front of the French window and lit a cigarette, one hand in his trouser pocket, looking thoughtful.

Lin Shu's footsteps coming down the stairs brought him back to his senses. Zhou Yanli turned around, and the moment Lin Shu came down the spiral staircase with light steps, his breath almost stopped.

The woman walked lightly and gracefully. Her hair, which had been loose, was now tied up, with only two strands hanging at the corners of her temples.

Two pearl earrings were pinned on her delicate earlobes, and her bright eyes seemed to be filled with stars.

Her proud chest was slightly raised, and she wore a long knitted skirt. As she moved, the flowing lines of the skirt also rippled.

Even though she had been Zhou Yanli's wife for six years and had grown from youth to maturity, the years had left no trace of life on her face.

Compared to six years ago, she looks more charming and elegant.

The cigarette in Zhou Yanli's mouth fell unconsciously.

Sparks landed on the back of his hand, and the pain finally made him pull his gaze away from Lin Shu.

The cigarette with sparks fell on the carpet, and Zhou Yanli stepped on it and put it out.

"Replace the carpet."

He walked straight towards Lin Shu and extended his hand when her foot was about to step down the last step.

Lin Shu hesitated for a few seconds, but finally let him hold it.

Just like when they got married, there were only the Zhou and Lin families in the church. Zhou Yanli also took her hand and walked step by step to the priest, and said the vows of living together forever under the guidance of the Bible.

"Mrs. Zhou, you look very beautiful today..."

Zhou Yanli exerted a little force on his hands and brought her into his arms.

Lin Shu did not push him away, but after standing firm, he left without leaving a trace, trying to keep a distance from him.

"I've always dressed like this, but Mr. Zhou just didn't notice?"

The clothes in her wardrobe were all carefully selected by her.

She only bought those clothes because Zhou Yanli told her he liked them when they were dating.

I like the way she dresses elegantly, with a long skirt and her hair tied up.

Because that is his idea of ​​a good wife and mother, the temperament of a true wealthy wife.

Every piece of clothing and even jewelry that Lin Shu wears is Zhou Yanli's favorite.

She had loved so selflessly for the past six years.

Six years later, when she decided to leave, Zhou Yanli finally saw the clothes she was wearing and praised her beauty.

Oh……

How ironic.

"Mrs. Zhou, you know how to spoil the fun."

Zhou Yanli tacitly agreed that she should keep a distance from him, but he always held her hand and refused to let go.

"Sister Xi, tell the young lady to come downstairs, we are leaving."

Sister Xi had been watching the couple silently from the side. For some reason, the intimate behavior of the husband and wife seemed indescribably strange to her.

Instead of feeling that the two of them had reconciled, it felt like they were drifting further and further apart.

Sister Xi didn't dare to speculate about the relationship between her masters. When she saw Zhou Yanli calling her to go upstairs to call Zhou Shuang, she quickly replied "yes" and hurried upstairs.

Zhou Shuang skipped down from upstairs and saw Zhou Yanli and Lin Shu holding hands.

She felt a little strange and rushed to them. When she got into the car, she tried to sit between the two of them, but Zhou Yanli lifted her to his side with one hand.

"I'll sit with Mommy, and you sit next to me."
