Chapter 227 We are both grown up, it’s time to get married and have a baby
Lin Yan's eyelashes trembled, and a trace of surprise flashed through her heart.
She looked back at him, her heart as calm as water: "Follow me?"
"Well, I've read 'Echoes of Pain', the book you translated five years ago." Lu Linfeng's voice was clear and gentle, his intonation was gentle. "At that time, I felt that this translator had a solid foundation in writing and delicate emotional expression. He translated it in a style that was unique yet literary."
"Later, I saw you again at a simultaneous interpretation event at a medical device summit." He paused, his gaze like the summer evening breeze: "Lin Yan, you are dazzling..."
"So when I saw your name on the list of winners for this CATTI Cup competition, I immediately asked the HR department to contact you. I was surprised that you didn't choose your old employer, Yishuo. After all, Yishuo is a large listed company..."
Lin Yan: "Mr. Lu, I don't have a good reputation in the translation industry. You should have heard about my Master of Translation studies."
"Outstanding people are always surrounded by all kinds of groundless rumors." Lu Linfeng said: "Lin Yan, I am averse to nonsense. I believe in your character, and even more so, I believe in your ability."
"Thank you, Mr. Lu, for your trust."
The atmosphere in the car became a little subtle.
Lin Yan is not stupid. She can feel Lu Linfeng's unusual attention to her.
Lin Yan avoided his burning gaze, maintaining her usual cautious distance. "Mr. Lu, thank you for your recognition. I will definitely work hard in the future and live up to your expectations of me."
She deliberately emphasized the word "work", implying that she was keeping people at a distance.
Lu Linfeng remained expressionless and didn't continue the conversation: "Are we almost at your neighborhood?"
"Yes, just turn right at the next intersection."
The car stopped at the gate of the community, and Lin Yan unbuckled her seat belt: "Mr. Lu, thank you."
"Well, it's cold, go home and rest early."
Lu Linfeng watched her walk into the community, and only looked away when her figure disappeared from his sight.
He leaned back in his chair, tapping his knees lightly with his fingertips, and admiration gradually overflowed from his eyes...
The cold wind blew in from the half-open car window, and Lu Linfeng took out his cell phone and sent a message to Mr. Shang.
"Grandpa, I've sent her home. She should understand what I mean, but I didn't dare to be too direct for fear of scaring her. Besides, I feel...she's not easy to pursue."
In less than a minute, he received a reply from Mr. Shang.
[Lin Yan is so easy to pursue, but she's still married in her thirties? Good things come to those who wait. Lin Yan is a good kid, and Grandpa has high hopes for you.]
He chuckled, put down his phone, and looked in the direction Lin Yan left again.
…
Lin Yan walked into the lobby of the residential complex and the property management called her.
"Ms. Lin, you have a delivery."
As he said that, he handed her a file bag.
Lin Yan thought it was something about work, but the sender was Xing Yu's name.
She quickly opened it, and as she pulled out the paper, she saw five words written on it, simple yet weighty.
Divorce agreement.
She held the agreement tightly, scanning the black words inch by inch.
Xing Yu's signature caught her eye. The ink on the signature seemed not to have dried completely yet and was slightly mottled.
Lin Yan seemed to be nailed to the spot, unable to move.
"Ms. Lin?" Seeing her unusually pale face, the property manager tried to ask, "What's wrong with you?"
Lin Yan regained consciousness and slid her throat to swallow the bitterness.
"fine."
She didn't go home, but turned around and walked into the snowy night again.
She took a taxi to Manzun and went directly to the penthouse suite.
Without any hesitation, she knocked on the door.
As if anticipating her arrival, the door opened quickly.
It was still the woman named Wenxi who opened the door.
"Forest……"
"Get out of the way." Lin Yan didn't give her a chance to speak. She wasn't interested in who she was and strode into the room.
Xing Yu seemed to be in a relaxed state.
He was dressed in black and slumped on the sofa, a cigarette between his lips.
As wisps of smoke rose, his face looked even more stern.
When those eyes looked at her, they were still indifferent and calm.
"Have you signed?" Xing Yu glanced at her, then at the document bag in her hand. He raised his chin and said, "Take a good look at the agreement. The car and the house will be yours, and I'll give you some extra money. I won't treat you unfairly."
Lin Yan stared at him without saying a word.
Xing Yu raised his eyelids and blew out a smoke ring nonchalantly: "Too little?"
Lin Yan remained silent, studying his eyes.
After staring at each other for a moment, Xing Yu spoke again: "Fifty million, is that enough?"
Lin Yan ignored him and turned to Wen Xi who was standing beside her and said, "Miss Wen, could you please step out for a moment? Xing Yu and I need to discuss some private matters."
Wenxi glanced at Xing Yu on the sofa with a complicated expression, said nothing more, opened the door and walked out.
Xing Yu took another puff of his cigarette, the smoke hiding his slightly furrowed brow.
"What? Still whispering?"
Lin Yan threw the agreement on the table and said to him, "Get up."
"Um?"
"I told you to get up." He said in a commanding tone.
Xing Yu was still leaning on the sofa, throwing two words at her: "No."
"OK."
Lin Yan walked up to him, took the cigarette out of his mouth and put it out in the ashtray, then took off her coat, lifted the hem of her skirt and sat on his legs.
"Look me in the eyes and tell me you don't love me anymore."
Her neck was tightly hooked around his, and when he looked at her closely, he could see the fuzz on her face and the stubbornness in her pupils.
"Well, I don't love you anymore."
"You're lying." Lin Yan: "You blinked. You're not resolute."
"Lin Yan, you..."
Before he could say a few words, his lips were blocked and the tip of his tongue broke in.
Xing Yu stiffened slightly, and after a few seconds he grabbed her by the back of the neck and pulled her away.
"Seduction is useless." His face was gloomy. "We still have to leave."
Lin Yan didn't care, she hooked his neck forward and kissed his lips again.
Xing Yu took the initiative to hold her neck and said coldly: "What are you kissing? Your mouth is full of secondhand smoke."
Lin Yan's heart was slightly moved: "Poison can't kill me."
Xing Yu closed his eyes sullenly: "Get off me."
Lin Yan stared at him.
His haggard and exhausted face, the bloodshot eyes, and his thin features all told her that Xing Yu was very tired and that he was not living well...
Lin Yan hugged him, feeling a little distressed and aggrieved.
She dropped her chin to his shoulder, avoiding his gaze, and then allowed herself to have red eyes.
"Xing Yu... We're both grown up now... It's time to get married and have a baby... Can you please tell me if you have anything to say?... In this world, apart from life and death, everything else is trivial..."
"You taught me how to love someone... but now you don't want to love anymore... What's wrong with you..."
"Xing Yu...what you said yesterday was really hurtful...If you continue to bully me like this...I really don't want you anymore..."
