Chapter 74 Countdown to Getting the Marriage Certificate
Lin Wei answered the phone, her voice lowered.
"Hello."
Gu Jingcheng frowned. This woman's voice sounded like she was doing something wrong.
"What are you doing?"
Lin Wei swallowed nervously, her grip on her phone tightening.
"Is there something you need?"
"Can't I call you if there's nothing wrong?"
"........"
"I'll hang up now if there's nothing else."
Lin Wei felt somewhat confused.
Gu Jingcheng has been acting strangely these days, constantly appearing in front of her.
The day before yesterday, he took her away from the company entrance, saying he was going somewhere, and then he took her to a hotel.
It was a hectic evening.
They had only been apart for a short while when he called again.
"Wait a moment!"
The voice on the other end of the receiver rose a little, and Lin Wei's fingers, which were about to hang up, paused.
"Um."
"Do you...prefer blue or pink curtains? Also, do you prefer a solid wood bed, or...?"
Gu Jingcheng on the other end of the phone.
I am standing in the top-tier showroom of Jiangcheng High-End Furniture City.
The sales assistants stood respectfully a few steps away, not daring to breathe.
Looking at this aloof and dignified head of the Gu family, whom one could only see on the cover of financial magazines,
He frowned as he selected furniture.
Gu Jingcheng pictured his life with Lin Wei after their marriage in his mind.
The furniture in the Cloud Top Villa was all arranged according to his preferences.
But thinking that Lin Wei would be moving in, I wanted to rearrange the place to her liking.
Gu Jingcheng felt the joy of a newlywed husband adding furnishings to their love nest.
I ended up here by some strange twist of fate.
When I arrived, I discovered that the furniture styles were all different.
Even the curtains come in a variety of colors...
Lin Wei answered subconsciously.
"I'm glad you like it."
"That won't do!"
"You are the lady of this house, so of course we should arrange things according to your preferences."
Lin Wei's heart skipped a beat.
Are you...choosing furniture?
"Um"
She was momentarily lost in thought.
In her previous life, before she married Gu Xuan, she also excitedly picked out furniture for their new home.
In the end, Gu Xuan dismissed them all with a casual remark.
In this life...
A strange, throbbing sensation gripped her heart.
She held her phone, her fingertips slightly warm, and her voice unconsciously softened.
"...Then...let's go with the blue one, it looks refreshing."
The bed... a solid wood one would be best, sturdy enough.
"good!"
"I'll pick you up at 9 a.m. tomorrow."
After we get our marriage certificate, let's look at other things together.
"Sofa, dining table... choose whatever you like."
Lin Wei's heart raced, enveloped in a sweet feeling of shyness and anticipation.
I took a deep breath.
"……good."
Lin Wei hung up the phone, and Shi Yanzhou had already gotten out of her pink Bentley.
"Okay, Weiwei, I hung it very securely."
Shi Yanzhou straightened up, a smile on his face, his gaze unconsciously following her.
"Yes, thank you."
As Lin Wei turned to the side, a ray of sunlight pierced through her loose hair.
On her collarbone were dark red marks that had not yet completely faded.
Shi Yanzhou's smile froze instantly.
A wave of bittersweetness surged into my chest. Was that a hickey?
Clinging to a sliver of hope, Shi Yanzhou stammered out the question.
My gaze fell upon the blinding red.
"Weiwei, what... happened to your neck?"
Lin Wei suddenly realized something!
He covered his neck with his hand.
"Ah! This...this! I accidentally choked a few days ago and got...this is from cupping therapy!"
The technician used a bit too much force; it looked scary, but it'll be fine in a couple of days!
"I suddenly remembered I have an urgent matter at the company! Brother Yanzhou, thank you for helping me hang the red string!"
I'm leaving now!
She fled in panic, not even knowing what she was feeling guilty about.
Perhaps she didn't want people to know about her abnormal relationship with Gu Jingcheng.
She didn't want anyone to know about the marriage, which was essentially a transaction.
Shi Yanzhou stood motionless in place, the sun still shining brightly.
My heart felt like it was being squeezed tightly by a hand, a suffocating pain.
The shape and location of that mark...
As a doctor, he knew exactly what it was...
-
Lin Wei returned to the company and went over her prepared speech for tomorrow's summit.
I was so nervous that my tongue got tied in knots.
There was a time when the Lin Group was undoubtedly a distinguished guest at summits of this caliber.
The father's name is often printed in the special guest section.
The Lin Group is present at almost every major and minor summit in the chip industry.
But after she took over, she became obsessed with love.
The company is declining day by day.
I was fortunate enough to receive an invitation and be chosen to speak as a representative of the business community.
Rather than recognition, it's more like the industry giving the Lin Group a little face.
The weight of the speech made it hard for her to breathe.
The phone screen suddenly lit up.
Lin Wei glanced at it.
Chen Jinhuai?
Open the message.
"Mr. Lin, I've seen the final list of attendees for the 'High-Tech & Chip Intelligence' Summit."
Congratulations to the Lin Group on being selected. (Smiling emoji)
"My car is being repaired, can I get a ride?"
"I'll pay for the ride. (Clenched fist emoji)"
Lin Wei stared at the screen, her fingertips icy cold.
What are Chen Jinhuai's intentions?
Lin Wei typed a reply on the screen.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, it's not convenient."
The phone vibrated again less than ten seconds after the message was sent.
Chen Jinhuai: "Oh, I see. Okay then. See you at the summit. I'm really looking forward to President Lin's speech. (Handshake emoji)"
Lin Wei held her phone, feeling a chill run from her feet up her spine.
In her previous life, Chen Jinhuai had never existed in her life!
Rebirth is her biggest secret and her only means of changing her fate.
She was familiar with the trajectory of her previous life and knew who her friends were and who her enemies were.
But she knew nothing about Chen Jinhuai.
This intense sense of "unknown" and "deviation"
It gave her a vague sense of fear, because of someone who wasn't part of her "script".
Lin Wei turned her phone face down on the table; she wanted to get away from him!
-
At 10 p.m., the arrival hall of Jiangcheng International Airport was brightly lit.
Bai Wanwan got off the plane from the United States back to Jiangcheng.
Carrying a small white suitcase,
She gracefully walked into the crowd.
Her long, flowing black hair, reaching her waist, cascaded casually over her shoulders, bathed in the bright overhead lights of the airport.
It gleamed with a warm, smooth luster.
A few strands of hair were brushed by the airflow, gently clinging to her fair cheeks before softly sliding down.
It carries a kind of endearing languor.
She was wearing a white dress that accentuated her slender figure.
She looks gentle and kind, like a pure and harmless little white flower.
They stand out in the crowd.
The men passing by couldn't help but glance at them.
It's as if I'm looking at that white moonlight from my memory.
Bai Wanwan was already used to it; her sister's death had taught her that.
When you lack ability, even beauty becomes a sin.
She only uses her beauty when she needs to.
Bai Wanwan carried her white suitcase and quietly walked towards the exit.
A black Rolls-Royce was parked at the exit.
Gu Jingcheng squinted and waited quietly.
Seeing that white figure at the exit, my heart felt like it had been struck by something.
"flourishing..."
"Jingcheng, you really came to pick me up?"
Bai Wanwan stood outside the car window, looking all delicate and charming.
Seeing the strange look in the man's eyes, she secretly felt smug.
Today, she specially wore the exact same dress as her sister.
For his sister's sake, he would agree to go back to the Bai family home with her tomorrow...
