Chapter 23: The Vain Male Wife of the Domineering Boss
Unlike the wooden floors on the fourth floor, the floors on the fifth floor are paved with marble.
The smart wheelchair produced by Mingjia has a silent locking function, which can fix the wheelchair and prevent it from sliding.
Lin Zhi was pressed between the door and Ming Yao, with her back against the cold door.
His body was slightly lifted up by Mingyao, and there was some distance between him and Mingyao's legs.
"Mingyao!"
Even meticulous predators would occasionally be caught off guard. Lin Zhi had always been accustomed to conducting covert activities in the lair, which was at least an absolutely enclosed and safe space, rather than an empty corridor.
Even though this is the fifth floor, no servants will come up to disturb us.
But sound insulation is relative to the room, not the vertical spatial dimension such as upstairs and downstairs.
This made Lin Zhi feel a little uneasy, but being trapped in Ming Yao's arms, she had a strange sense of security that she could escape from.
"don’t worry."
Mingyao pushed aside Lin Zhi's soft bangs with his hand, pressed his forehead against his, and looked into his eyes.
Mingyao has a pair of beautifully shaped phoenix eyes, but these eyes have a cold and sharp feeling on his face.
At this moment, there were ripples in these eyes that were usually as cold as glaciers, filled with a gentle and calm swallowing feeling, making people feel as if they were in the center of a deep blue ocean, with no wind or waves around, but with a palpitation of wanting to fall in.
Their breaths intertwined, isolating themselves from a space.
Lin Zhi initially thought Mingyao was telling him not to worry about being discovered, but later found out that was not the case.
The interlaced friction flows through the gaps, occasionally touching the soft spots.
Lin Zhi hugged Mingyao's neck and closed her eyes unconsciously.
There is occasionally rational madness among adults. This state is different from the moment of addiction and makes all perceptions clearer.
Because it carries social cognition and basic integrity, but it also seems that because of this, everything has fallen into a silent but tacit situation.
In fact, it doesn't have to be like this. Lin Zhi knows that this is not part of his plan.
But so what, right, so what.
Lin Zhi bit Ming Yao's shoulder. The man's muscles were a little hard, so he only left shallow teeth marks.
"Lin Zhi," Ming Yao's voice was hoarse, "Can we kiss?"
Mingyao always has a kind of stubborn seriousness, and there is a fire hidden in his coldness.
Lin Zhi finally slept in Mingyao's room. Mingyao used a hot towel to wipe his legs clean, and carefully applied medicine to the red areas, including the areas where Lin Zhi had applied medicine before.
Lin Zhi didn't go to work the next morning, and Mingyao asked for leave for him.
Mingyao had the tablet in his hand. In the gallery were several exquisite and exclusive design drafts, as well as some finished product pictures including pictures of various diamonds.
Lin Zhi flipped through the books with some disinterest. In fact, he didn't feel much about them. Compared to the diamonds themselves, he still preferred Mingyao's attitude towards the best diamonds and the best designs that matched him.
01 excitedly chattered in Lin Zhi’s mind: [Host, the target of the mission has gone to a special rehabilitation training center. It feels like we are not far from completing the mission! You are really awesome! He let go of his worries for you! 】
Lin Zhi shook her head: [His heart knot has not been completely untied, and he is not doing this entirely for me, he is also doing this for himself. 】
01 Puzzled: [Aren’t they the same? 】
"How can it be the same?"
Lin Zhi put the things in his hand aside and lay back on the bed.
There was Mingyao's scent on the bed. Lin Zhi couldn't describe it exactly, but he didn't reject it and even felt it was good.
"He's just waiting for an opportunity."
In Lin Zhi's opinion, Mingyao has been trying to save himself, but this kind of self-help is obscure and full of struggle.
Mingyao did not despise or even hate his legs, he was not even sensitive about it, he accepted his disability and even lived in peace with it. Combining the information he knew, Lin Zhi even suspected that he might just regard it as a symbol.
Maybe it's just a knot in the heart that cannot be overcome in youth, and in the end I get used to it.
He had looked at the photo album given by the old man. Mingyao used to have a happy family, with a somewhat strict grandfather, a grandmother and mother who doted on him, and a father who cared about him. When that happiness was shattered, it was inevitable that people would feel hard-pressed.
Mingyao was struggling between 'his fault' and 'not his fault'. No matter which mentality he chose, he seemed unable to fully accept it, thus forming a strange coexistence.
01 A little confused: [So he didn’t decide to live a better life because he liked you? 】
That's impossible. If it didn't like it, why would it have remained silent about the mosaic yesterday? The program even played an animation for it because the mosaic time exceeded ten minutes.
【01. As a redemption system, you should know the nature of redemption better than I do. 】
[Every person who can be saved is a potential self-savior. 】
As for mud, it will always be mud.
01 Nodded like a chick pecking at rice: [That’s it, host, you are so awesome. This is the first item in the system manual. 】
Lin Zhi was slightly surprised. It seemed that the creator of this system had the same ideas as him. For a moment he even wondered if he had any connection with this designer, but after thinking about it he felt that it was impossible.
If it were him, he would definitely not design such a naive system.
But in order to get the point across, he echoed 01's words and said: [It seems that your designer has the same idea as me. What kind of person is he? 】
In what dimension of world and what level of technology can people create such a system?
Why would the designer do this? What benefits does it bring to him?
01Honest answer: [I have no memory of him, I only know my mission. 】
01's voice suddenly became passionate: [That is to save every mission target with love! Warm them up! Let them have hope for life! 】
Lin Zhi fully felt 01's sense of mission and was somewhat silent.
[Then won't we have to stay here for a very long time? After all, we have to give him hope for life. We can't just leave when he stands up. So the way we leave is to disappear from his memory or die. If we die, wouldn't that be a second blow? 】
This was actually the second time Lin Zhi asked this question, and 01’s answer was the same as last time: [The host will know after the mission is completed~]
Given 01's intelligence level, it is unlikely that he could be fooled, so 01 himself might not even be aware of it. He is like a machine that strictly follows programs, and in essence, that is indeed the case.
Lin Zhi went to the old man's place in the afternoon. The old man was wearing a purple Tang suit today and looked energetic.
"Zhizhi, come and sit down."
The old man waved with a smile. The illness he had suffered a few days ago seemed to have dissipated, and he was in better condition than when Lin Zhi first saw him.
"I wanted to invite you guys to dinner. It seems like we are in sync. I haven't even called you yet, and you're here."
Lin Zhi sat down next to him: "Grandpa, what good thing happened to you that makes you so happy?"
He had some guesses in his mind, but didn't say it out loud.
"you do not know?"
The old man didn't know whether to disclose the matter or not, and was a little hesitant.
In his early years, he made his fortune in the pharmaceutical industry and laid the foundation for the current Ming family in this industry.
After Mingyao got into the accident, he used the best medical resources and the most advanced medical technology, but was unable to help Mingyao stand up.
He knew without the doctor telling him that Mingyao's condition was psychological, and he also knew the reason, because he was his biological son.
He and his wife have advised them many times over the years, but to no avail. Mingyao listened, but seemed not to have listened, and gradually stopped them from speaking.
The year his first wife passed away, his son who was away from home came back, looking haggard and downtrodden. That kind of downtrodden state was not caused by financial difficulties, but because he deliberately tortured himself.
He thought that if he went out for a few years to relax, he might feel better when he came back, but he didn't expect that he would become even more possessed. During the days of keeping vigil, he didn't say a word to Mingyao and was as cold as a stranger. Before leaving, he said something that provoked the child and made him so angry that he wanted to beat him with his cane.
"Is it about Mingyao's rehabilitation?"
The old man nodded happily: "Yes, this child suddenly figured it out. Although I don't know how he figured it out, it's a good thing."
This was not what Mingyao told him, but rather it was his old subordinate who informed him. I guess Mingyao didn't ask him to hide it, so he came to report the good news.
The old man felt that this might really be related to fate. At least after Lin Zhi and Mingyao got married, Mingyao was getting better and better.
He is now hoping that Mingyao and Lin Zhi can make some progress in their relationship. Mingyao will definitely be better off with someone who understands her feelings.
No one has loved him for too long, and as Mingyao's relative, he can't do anything about it.
It would be great if boys in this world could also give birth to children. If Lin Zhi could give him a great-grandchild, he would be so happy that his mouth would be crooked.
But think about it, it's still unlikely, so adoption is a good idea.
Lin Zhike had no idea that the old man had such unreliable ideas in his head, nor did he mention the fact that he entered Mingyao's room on Mingyao's birthday. He just agreed, "It's a good thing, but according to his personality, he probably won't come to you until there's an effect."
"Yes, he has that kind of personality. He has been like this since he was a child. You stay for dinner today. I will ask Lao Jin to prepare some extra food. But it is still early for dinner. Please accompany me to a place."
Lin Zhi responded naturally, this was also the reason why he came.
Intimacy will continue to accumulate. It is not limited to the interaction between two people, but also exists in people who know each other. Let everything intertwine to increase density.
On the other side, the Ming family.
Guan Yi felt a little disappointed. He had thought he could meet Lin Zhi, but the servant at home said that Lin Zhi had gone out for something.
There was nothing that could be done about it. Guan Yi did not send a message to inquire, and focused on training Nuonuo in accompanying and explosion-proofing.
Although Nuonuo is lively and energetic, she is also very obedient.
In the company, the people in the secretariat watched numbly as the boss came to the company very late, stayed there for a short time, and left work on time, feeling a sense of being unable to keep up with the times.
They couldn't help but ask Assistant Gao: "What happened?"
Assistant Gao shook his head to indicate that he didn't know, thinking that he had already asked for leave for Mr. Lin, so why weren't these colleagues so perceptive at all?
Mingyao didn't see Lin Zhi when he returned home, but he saw the dog trainer who had just returned from walking his dog.
Guan Yi always felt that Lin Zhi's friend was not very friendly, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
He was just about to say hello to Lin Zhi's friends and leave when another car drove up outside. It was Lin Zhi returning.
Guan Yi smiled and raised his hand to greet Lin Zhi, and once again extended an invitation: "If you are free on the 27th, I can pick you up, no matter where you are."
"He's not available."
Before Lin Zhi could answer, a voice came from the side.
Mingyao looked at Guan Yi coldly and said, "He wants to go with me to look at the ring."
