After getting in the car, the two sat in the back. Zheng Lin didn't look at Su Jin once, and Su Jin didn't look at Zheng Lin either.
Seeing the two's state in the rearview mirror from the driver's seat, Assistant Gao secretly sent a text message to Assistant Wang while the car was at a red light.
[Assistant Gao]: Our bosses had a fight.
[Assistant Wang]: What do you mean?
[Assistant Gao]: My boss is jealous. He doesn't say it, but I can see it clearly. Your Chairman Su is also angry, and now they're ignoring each other.
[Assistant Wang]: ...Try a sudden crisis. When we get to the next intersection, brake suddenly.
Upon hearing this, Assistant Gao suddenly understood. At the next intersection, he slammed on the brakes, and the two people in the back seat were affected.
Zheng Lin instantly grabbed Su Jin's head with his hands. Su Jin shrank into his arms, closed her eyes tightly, and screamed in fright.
Assistant Gao, the instigator, couldn't help but chuckle to himself, thinking that things should be fine now.
He was extremely worried about his boss's happiness.
Su Jin was so frightened that her lips turned white.
She was in such a terrible car accident in her previous life that she became disabled in both legs.
She is now experiencing significant psychological trauma.
"Gao Zixin! What the hell are you doing!"
After reprimanding Assistant Gao, Zheng Lin noticed that Su Jin's expression was not good, so he did not let go of her, but gently patted her back to comfort her.
Assistant Gao shrank back after being scolded and didn't say anything. He got scolded for other people's love stories; he really was a matchmaker.
Startled by this, Su Jin's stomach inexplicably started to hurt, and upon returning to the Zheng family manor, she went to her room to rest.
She didn't come out for dinner either.
Mrs. Su went to her room to check on her daughter before returning to the dining table.
Zheng Youguo didn't see Su Jin either. "Why didn't the girl come to eat?"
Mrs. Su: "She has a stomachache."
"Why would your stomach hurt for no reason?" Zheng Youguo immediately took it to heart and glared at Zheng Lin beside him: "You're her fiancé, and you don't even know to take her to the hospital for a stomachache. What are you eating? Stop eating."
Zheng Lin was unaware that Su Jin had a stomachache. Upon hearing this, he couldn't help but feel anxious. He put down his chopsticks and said, "I'll go now. You guys eat first, don't wait for me."
“Zheng Lin, no need, no need.” Madam Su quickly stopped her future son-in-law. “Our Xiao Jin has an old problem. She gets stomach aches when she’s stressed or frightened. She’ll be fine if she rests. Going to the hospital won’t help.”
Old Chairman Su took a small sip of baijiu. "That's right. I took her to see doctors before, but they couldn't do anything. I'm still very grateful to Chairman Zheng for caring so much about my daughter."
He clinked his wine glass with Zheng Youguo's.
......
Su Jin slept for five hours and didn't get up until the middle of the night. She was hungry and rummaged through the refrigerator.
As she turned around, Zheng Lin had already brought in a bowl of hot soup noodles, placed it on the dining table, and pushed it in front of Su Jin.
Zheng Lin: "Just make do with this."
Su Jin picked up her chopsticks, smelled the bowl of noodle soup, and thought it smelled delicious.
"You can even make noodles? Thank you."
Watching her wolf down her food, Zheng Lin crossed his arms and asked, "Since when did you start having stomach aches?"
He remembered clearly that Su Jin in high school was fearless and daring, and had never had a stomachache from being frightened before.
Su Jin slurped her noodles, then looked up at him with wide eyes.
This is a tricky question.
Perhaps it was because back then, she never felt afraid, because the people around her made her feel safe.
No matter where she is or what she does, the people behind her will give her the greatest strength.
But so much time has passed, it would be too sentimental to talk about these things now.
"It's always been there, just stronger before. Are you satisfied with that explanation?"
"Heh." Zheng Lin reached out and took Su Jin's bowl, throwing it and the noodles into the trash can.
He was not satisfied with this answer.
They didn't tell the truth.
Su Jin exclaimed in surprise, "Ah, my noodles!"
Zheng Lin said coldly, "Eat less, or your stomach will hurt even more."
How could this man's personality have become so awful!
Su Jin stepped forward and put her arm around Zheng Lin's waist, leaving Zheng Lin stunned on the spot.
Zheng Lin's Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily, and he didn't know where to look. He gently touched her hand with his own.
The next moment, Su Jin stretched out her foot to trip his calf, and shouted with all her might, "Go to hell!"
His hand happened to grab hers, and the two of them stumbled forward and fell to the ground.
Zheng Lin countered by restraining Su Jin, placing his arm across her collarbone and tightening it around her.
Zheng Lin's tone was icy: "Playing dirty tricks. Is it fun?"
A breath of hot air touched her ear, and Su Jin felt a tingling sensation. She kicked his leg and said, "Let me go."
With her back pressed against the man's firm chest, she could feel his anger.
Her earlobe was gently sucked, and Su Jin's body trembled slightly. Then she heard his deep voice say, "Want to play some more? If not, get up. If there's a next time, it won't just be like this."
The atmosphere was extremely ambiguous, and Su Jin was at a loss. Zheng Lin shouldn't be like this. Ten years ago, she was the one teasing him.
As a boy, Zheng Lin was a quiet and shy man. Ahhh, why does he always tease her like this?
The arm that had been across her collarbone was removed, and Su Jin quickly got up and fled back to her room.
While taking a shower, Su Jin tugged at her earlobes and washed them several times.
When I lay down again, unsurprisingly, I couldn't fall asleep.
Having slept for too long, she idly searched for Zheng Lin's name.
Since the breakup, she has not paid attention to him, nor dared to pay attention to any of his activities.
There are many written news articles, but only one interview-based one, which is from five years ago.
She clicked on the interview video from five years ago.
Zheng Lin, dressed in a suit, sat opposite the host.
His face was indifferent, revealing no emotion.
Host: "On behalf of many netizens, I'd like to ask: What kind of women have you liked? Is it okay for me to ask this?"
Zheng Lin's eyes were filled with arrogant arrogance, and a contemptuous smile curled at the corner of his lips: "Gentle personality, average appearance."
Su Jin pressed the pause button.
What he said seemed to be implying something about her, but none of his points matched her at all.
Who is she who is physically active, has a fiery temper, and a gentle personality?
Her looks have been praised since she was a child; she's a perfect beauty. Who is average-looking?
Anyway, it definitely wasn't her they were talking about!
The next morning, Su Jin changed into a proper long-sleeved shirt and trousers, her long hair casually loose.
After finishing breakfast, Su Jin wanted to take another nap, but before she could finish yawning, Zheng Lin called to urge her to go out.
While Su Jin was sleeping, Zheng Lin had already finished discussing a new project.
"Get in the car."
Zheng Lin glanced at her.
Su Jin looked down and saw that she hadn't changed out of her pajamas and hadn't washed her hair.
"Where are we going? Why are you calling me out so urgently? I haven't even washed my hair yet. I'm not going anywhere."
Can you go out in public without washing your hair? Even fairies have to look beautiful when they go out.
Su Jin turned to go through the gate.
"return."
Zheng Lin opened the car door, grabbed Su Jin, and coldly uttered four words: "To the Civil Affairs Bureau."
Su Jin took out her phone to check the almanac. "Today is not auspicious for anything. We can't get our marriage certificate today. Let's reschedule."
"There seems to be some issue with the inheritance. Since I'm not going to the Civil Affairs Bureau, I'll head back to the law firm first."
As Zheng Lin spoke, he got into the driver's seat and closed the car door.
