He Yanchen finally surrendered to himself.
He had never been completely drunk. Even the last time he thought Lin Zhixing had a son with someone else, it was only because he didn't get enough rest before and fell asleep on the way back.
He couldn't convince himself to get drunk in front of her, besides being unsure of what his drunken state would look like;
Ultimately, I couldn't convince myself to give up on her completely.
"He Yanchen, no one can keep me here unless I want to stay." Lin Zhixing forcefully pulled the man's hand away from hers. "You should get some rest early. I have to go to work tomorrow."
She stood up and glanced at the wine bottles on the table. "Don't drink when I get home, or there will be no one to take care of you."
Lin Zhixing stood up and walked towards the door.
She was just about to lower her head to change her shoes when the man walked over quickly and hugged her from behind.
The man's arms were extremely strong, as if he was afraid that she would disappear out of thin air.
The man arched his back slightly, resting his cheek against her forehead. The air was thick with the smell of alcohol as he spoke. "Don't struggle. Let me hold you for a while. It will be fine in just a moment."
Lin Zhixing didn't move.
She had her back to the man and could not see his face, but could hear his heavy breathing.
"Lin Zhixing, no matter what, I am An An's father. No matter what happens to you and you need help, please contact me as soon as possible."
He Yanchen's big palm gently wrapped around her hand, but this time his fingers did not exert any force and were exceptionally gentle.
Lin Zhixing nodded repeatedly, "Okay, I understand."
The man still didn't move.
The air in the entire entrance seemed to freeze.
It was unknown how much time had passed before He Yanchen finally let go of her hand. "Okay, go now. The driver is downstairs, so I won't take you downstairs."
He was afraid that he would be unable to resist wanting to keep her.
I don't want to be rejected by her again.
-
When Lin Zhixing came out of the man’s house, she found two missed calls from Wang Xue on her phone.
She just called back and Wang Xue answered the phone immediately.
"Sister, where are you?"
Wang Xue's tone was a little anxious.
"I sent He Yanchen home. He didn't eat anything, so I made some millet porridge."
Lin Zhixing was afraid that Wang Xue would misunderstand, so she told her husband about the foundation he founded. "Originally, I was going to have dinner with him for three years, but now it's only one day. It's nothing to do."
"Oh, I know." Wang Xue said, "I also have something to tell you."
Afterwards, Wang Xue recounted her cooperation with Shi Nanzhou.
"Hey, my dad keeps pushing me to go on blind dates. This excuse should at least give me some time to relax." Wang Xue sighed silently, "But I actually feel a little regretful inside."
"Why?"
"Just now at Lu Heng's wedding banquet, we sat at the same table with Shi Nanzhou. You don't know the look on my dad's face when he looked at Shi Nanzhou. He practically thought he was his son-in-law. If he knew we were fake, would he skin me alive?"
The more Wang Xue spoke, the more scared she felt.
Her father is a lawyer, dealing with people. Some clients like to hide the facts, and her father can see it very clearly.
Wang Xue knew that her lies might work temporarily, but she would be exposed if she continued for a long time.
Lin Zhixing still remembers how Wang Xue looked when she first learned a few years ago that Shi Nanzhou was in charge of her father's case.
She said tentatively, "Then...why don't you try to get in touch with Lawyer Shi? Maybe..."
"I refuse! You don't know, lawyers are all very cunning." Wang Xue interrupted her immediately, "If I marry a criminal defense lawyer as good as Shi Nanzhou, will I die?"
"…Lawyers are so scary?"
"What do you think?" Wang Xue was too lazy to mention this person again. "By the way, my godson's birthday is next month. How are you going to celebrate for him?"
An An’s birthday is August 8th.
Of course Lin Zhixing remembered his son's birthday and started preparing a birthday present for him.
"Let's go to the aquarium during the day, and then have dinner together in the evening."
Lin Zhixing briefly explained his plan.
"Ah? I thought you were going to take him to the amusement park. But the oceanarium is nice too. It's too hot during the day. Going to the amusement park during the day would make you lose all your skin."
Wang Xue followed suit.
Lin Zhixing spoke frankly, "I took An An to the amusement park not long ago. The amount of exercise there was a bit too much for him, and he fell asleep before dinner time."
"Have you been there?"
"Yeah." Lin Zhixing didn't hide it from Wang Xue. "I went with the teacher who teaches An An skateboarding. The teacher's name is Shi Yang, and he's Lawyer Shi's nephew."
As they were talking, Lin Zhixing had already gotten into the car that He Yanchen had arranged for her.
"So you two are already in a relationship where you take An An to the amusement park together?!"
There was a sharp explosion from Wang Xue on the other end of the phone!
She had the same idea as Shi Nanzhou before, and felt that Lin Zhixing would definitely look down on a kid who was so much younger than her.
I didn’t expect that the two of them had already been to the amusement park together!
How is this different from dating!
"No, it was An An who suddenly wanted to go, and Shi Yang was there at the time. He wanted to go, and An An also wanted him to go with him..."
As Lin Zhixing spoke, he felt that the more he explained, the worse it got.
Wang Xue immediately grasped the key point, "Does that mean An An is happy to go to the amusement park with him? That's great."
"Xiaoxue..."
"Oh, I know you're not interested in him."
Wang Xue and Lin Zhixing have a very good relationship and know exactly what she is good at.
Even jokes should be kept to a certain extent.
The car drove smoothly all the way to the gate of Yulin Xuefu Community.
Lin Zhixing walked into the residential complex. Just as he reached the door of the building, he could vaguely see a figure standing in the shadows smoking through the dim optical fiber.
The man was very tall and looked like a man.
The tobacco flickered in the darkness.
Lin Zhixing had just taken a casual glance, but when he got closer he realized that the person smoking was actually Shi Yang!
He saw Lin Zhixing was also stunned for a moment, and hurriedly threw the cigarette to the ground and stamped it out, then ran over quickly, "Sister Zhixing, why did you come back just now?"
Perhaps because the cigarette had just been put out, Shi Yang was still surrounded by a strong smell of smoke when he ran over.
Lin Zhixing didn't like the smell of smoke, but just by smelling it, he couldn't help but frown.
For a moment, she suddenly understood why she no longer hated He Yanchen.
Men may drink for social occasions, but they never smoke.
She hardly ever smelled cigarette smoke on him, and even if she did, it was only when someone else got close to him that she picked it up.
It was very light, within the acceptable range for her.
"Yeah, something."
Lin Zhixing didn't give a very specific answer.
As she walked into the corridor, Shi Yang followed her.
Originally, Lin Zhixing thought that meeting Shi Yang here was a coincidence.
Until the two of them stood in the elevator.
Shi Yang broke the silence of the space and said:
"I heard from my uncle that you accompanied He Yanchen to a friend's wedding tonight as his female companion, right?"
