Chapter 116
When Pei Yin saw the man in front of her, she understood Fang Lan's purpose in pulling her in. She became increasingly dissatisfied with her mother's behavior, and her face instantly darkened.
Fang Lan stood aside, holding Pei Yin's arm tightly without leaving any trace. She looked at the man in front of her and smiled apologetically, saying, "Xiao Lin, I'm so sorry. There was a traffic jam on the road, and we are late! This is my daughter!"
The man shook his head and chuckled, pointing to the seat opposite him and said, "It's okay, Aunt Fang. I just arrived not long ago. The traffic outside is indeed not very good today."
"Your daughter is even more beautiful than in the photo!" The man moved his time to Pei Yin, looked at her carefully, and said with a hint of joy: "Hello, Miss Xiao, my name is Lin Xiao, and I am Aunt Wang Lan's nephew. We have met once before, so you may not remember me!"
Pei Yin glanced at the man with an unhappy expression, but didn't take his words to heart. He just nodded without saying anything.
“…”
Fang Lan pulled Pei Yin to sit down, stretched out her hand and pinched Pei Yin's arm under the table, signaling her not to be too disrespectful. Pei Yin naturally understood what her mother meant, but she did not want to cooperate with Fang Lan to stage a harmonious blind date scene. Thinking that Gu Cunxi would definitely be here early, Pei Yin looked around nervously, but did not see her. She felt a little disappointed but also relieved. She did not want Gu Cunxi to see this scene. She wanted to leave, but she could not ignore Fang Lan's face at all... While she was hesitating, the man opposite spoke.
"Aunt Fang, because I don't know what your and Pei Yin's tastes are, I didn't order the dishes in advance. Take a look at the menu and see what you want to eat." Lin Xiao handed the menu over and looked at Pei Yin with a growing smile.
Seeing that her daughter had no intention of accepting the call, Fang Lan kicked Pei Yin under the table and pushed the menu back. She said to Lin Xiao calmly, "It's just a simple meal. Just order whatever you want. You don't have to take my portion. I have something to do with your Aunt Wang Lan! I'll be leaving first. Western food is more suitable for you young people. You can chat slowly!"
"I'll take you there!" When Pei Yin heard Fang Lan was leaving, he immediately stood up, picked up the car keys on the table, glanced at the man, nodded, and turned to walk out.
“!”
Seeing this, Lin Xiao stood up with a slight embarrassment, smiled and said to Fang Lan, "Then...Aunt Fang, I'll come visit you some other day!"
Fang Lan watched her daughter hurriedly leave, frowning and feeling increasingly unhappy. She apologized to Lin Xiao, "Xiao Lin, don't be offended. She doesn't have a problem with you. My daughter isn't usually like this. She has a very gentle personality. She blames me for not explaining things to her and tricking her into coming here to see you... She just doesn't like the format of blind dates!"
"No, Aunt Fang, I really admire Pei Yin's direct approach!" The man smiled modestly and walked out of the restaurant with Fang Lan.
Pei Yin was about to send a message to Gu Cunxi to explain the situation when Fang Lan came out.
"Pei Yin... Mom and your Aunt Wang are having lunch nearby. Just come pick me up after you finish with Lin Xiao!"
Pei Yin looked at Lin Xiao behind him, and after thinking about it, he finally decided not to refuse his mother's face in person. He nodded, did not respond, and did not wait for Fang Lan to leave, and turned back to the restaurant.
After watching Fang Lan leave, Lin Xiao hurriedly followed her in with a faint smile on his face. Although Pei Yin had no good face towards him throughout the whole process, the elegant and gentle temperament on her body could not be concealed. Just the first glance at her made his heart palpitate.
"Miss Xiao!" Lin Xiao returned to his seat and sat down, carefully looking at the woman in front of him. The more he looked, the more he couldn't take his eyes off her. He tried hard to control his inner throbbing, smiled and said, "I have some knowledge of the dishes in this restaurant. If you don't want to order, how about I recommend something to you?"
"No need!" Pei Yin raised her hand to stop him, "I'm engaged! Mr. Lin, there's no need to waste your time with me! I have an appointment, so I'll take my leave now!"
Pei Yin was about to leave when Lin Xiao saw her. He reached across the table and held Pei Yin's hand, saying, "Aunt Fang doesn't agree with Miss Xiao's engagement, right? Otherwise, she wouldn't have brought you to me in this way. Regardless of the outcome, since you're here, let's have a meal together!"
Pei Yin immediately pulled her hand away with a look of disgust on her face, looked at Lin Xiao and said, "I don't need anyone else's approval for my engagement. My lover is waiting for me! I can't have lunch with Mr. Lin. Sorry!"
"Miss Xiao! Wait!" Lin Xiao sighed and said, "We're only engaged, not actually married. Besides, it's a marriage that doesn't have our parents' blessing. Wouldn't it be better to give yourself more options? Perhaps my conditions are more suitable for you than your current fiancé!"
"No one can compare to her!" Pei Yin became more unhappy, and his face became darker.
"Pei Pei!" Gu Cunxi walked down from upstairs and stood beside Pei Yin. He leaned over and hugged her into his arms. He turned his head to look at Pei Yin with gentle eyes and said, "Why are you sitting here? I've reserved a table upstairs and have been waiting for you!"
"???" Lin Xiao was stunned at the beautiful woman who suddenly appeared out of nowhere in front of him. He was speechless at the intimacy between the two.
Pei Yin was surrounded by the familiar mint scent, which made her feel at ease. The moment Gu Cunxi approached, her tense body became relaxed and steady.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long!" Pei Yin completely ignored Lin Xiao who was sitting opposite him. He tilted his head and looked at Gu Cunxi with a gentle smile. There were stars in his eyes, which was completely different from his coldness just now.
"You...you are?" Lin Xiao couldn't sit still anymore after seeing the scene in front of him. He pointed at Gu Cunxi with a hint of anger.
Gu Cunxi looked at him silently without answering, and her mind kept recalling that the man in front of her made her feel that he looked familiar... He looked somewhat similar to the photo on the resume that Xiao Nuo sent her some time ago!
"Didn't I tell Mr. Lin that I'm engaged? She's my lover!!" Pei Yin said bluntly, his eyes firm and tough.
“!”
"you…"
"Let's go, Pei Pei! I've ordered the dishes upstairs, all your favorites!" Gu Cunxi didn't want to pay attention to the man in front of her. She really didn't want to waste the good time they had just met on someone else. After saying that, she pulled Pei Yin up and prepared to leave.
"Miss Xiao!" Lin Xiao stood in front of the two of them, sizing up Gu Cunxi with hostile eyes. After a moment of silence, he said, "No wonder Aunt Fang disagrees. You've found a woman. Isn't this too absurd?"
Gu Cunxi sneered, his eyes filled with coldness and his tone was freezing cold: "Get out of the way!"
"So what if I don't?" Lin Xiao was confident that he wouldn't lose to a woman. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I thought Miss Xiao's lover would be such an outstanding person, but I didn't expect him to be not even a man. With all due respect, as a woman, do you think you can make her happy?"
"Lin Xiao!" Pei Yin stopped him sternly, "You're meddling too much. If it weren't for my mom, I wouldn't have come to see you. You're not qualified to ask about my affairs. Goodbye!"
“!”
Lin Xiao! Gu Cunxi suddenly remembered that the name on that resume was also Lin Xiao... The photo was so similar, it was probably the same person. She had personally reviewed that resume half a month ago, and it was for the newly hired marketing manager...
"Mr. Lin, it's better not to meddle in other people's business!" Gu Cunxi smiled, his eyes cold.
"Miss Xiao's affairs are no small matter to me. What can a woman like you give her? What ability do you have to guarantee her life? Don't you think it's ridiculous?" Lin Xiao was relentless, trying to gain some face for himself. It was too embarrassing to lose in front of a woman like this.
Gu Cunxi originally wanted to pull Pei Yin away from here, but Lin Xiao became more and more aggressive, which made her disgusted. Gu Cunxi narrowed her eyes, looked at Lin Xiao and said, "Manager Lin! You must be careful with your words and actions when you go out, otherwise you may say something disastrous if you are not careful!"
"!" Lin Xiao was stunned. He didn't know why this woman called him Manager Lin... as if she knew him. "You... know who I am?"
"Before joining Nansheng, Mr. Lin worked in the marketing department of Vanke Group for five years, right?"
"You!" Lin Xiao was extremely surprised and speechless for a long time. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Who are you? How do you know all this about me?"
"I approved Mr. Lin's employment! In other words, I can let you enter Nansheng, or I can let you leave immediately. Who do you think I am?"
"!" Lin Xiao's face gradually turned pale, thinking about the words of the woman in front of him. The one who could have such power was obviously not an ordinary leader, at least not at the same level as him... Personnel work was handled by the human resources department, but he knew everyone in the human resources department, from clerks to directors, so it was obviously not her.
Could it be...
"Are you...Mr. Gu?" Lin Xiao's face changed, and he asked fearfully. He wasn't sure, but his intuition told him that this woman was... Since he joined Nansheng, the only person he hadn't seen was the general manager of the group who came to inspect the branch...
Silence is the best answer. Gu Cunxi said nothing. Lin Xiao was more certain of his guess. He felt a chill in his heart. He was shocked by the fact that the general manager of the group liked women, and was also afraid of his own careless words.
"Mr. Gu! I'm sorry, I'm... so sorry for offending you just now!" Lin Xiao took a half step back and nodded slightly to Gu Cunxi to express his apology. His voice changed due to nervousness.
Gu Cunxi didn't respond immediately. He pulled Pei Yin over and bent down to straighten the wrinkled hem of her windbreaker. He looked at Lin Xiao and said coldly, "You don't have to apologize to me because of your status. This was just a private matter. I won't take my anger out on you at work. Goodbye!"
Without waiting for Lin Xiao's response, under his gaze, Gu Cunxi put her arm around Pei Yin's waist and hurried to the second floor. She did not return to her seat directly, but pulled Pei Yin into the bathroom on the second floor.
Pei Yin let Gu Cunxi pull her along without saying a word. From her hurried and anxious footsteps, Pei Yin sensed a hint of anger.
The bathroom was equipped with a sound system that was synchronized with the music in the restaurant. The lyrical piano music was even more emotional in the confined and narrow space. Gu Cunxi pushed Pei Yin into the cubicle, locked the door, turned around and pressed Pei Yin against the wall. He wrapped his arms around her slender waist, leaned over and kissed her, with the same domineering attitude as before, prying open her lips and teeth, wantonly plundering her sweetness.
From this kiss, Pei Yin clearly sensed Gu Cunxi's longing, anger, and jealousy. She closed her eyes slightly, tilted her head back, and responded gently. The index finger of her right hand kept stroking Gu Cunxi's back, starting from the raised part of the butterfly bone and sliding down bit by bit. In her mind, she pictured the outline of her smooth and sexy back...
