Chapter 1256 He turned back into the vicious and cruel devil on earth.
Lin Ling ended up eating nothing.
Chen Tingsi was not annoyed. He still did it when he was free and sent flowers as usual. If you didn't know, you would think his family ran a flower shop.
Occasionally, when he has to go on a business trip, he will tell the kitchen in advance that he is going out, and someone will specially deliver the daily dishes.
Usually after about a week, he would come back, put on an apron and busy himself in the kitchen.
One day, the chefs in the kitchen were chatting in the afternoon.
"Boss Shen has saved us a lot of trouble recently. When he's around, I don't even have to wash the dishes."
"Boss Chen really cares about Miss Lin Ling. Last time, he steamed an egg without help. I saw him on the phone, discussing a business worth tens of millions. I went over to help him, but he waved his hand and said it was not necessary."
"But after all, I'm doing business, and I'm not proficient in many small details. My hands are so hot, I can't bear to look at them."
"It seems that I haven't been eating here recently in order to avoid being seen by Miss Lin Ling."
"Yes, I saw that after Mr. Shen finished cooking, he went to his villa to eat. His villa is big, but it is deserted. There is no response when you walk in. There is no popularity at all."
"Who said it wasn't? The last time I went into that kitchen over there, the windows were always closed. It was so gloomy and eerie. My heart suddenly jumped up when I heard footsteps clattering on the floor. What's the point of having money? You have no one around you. Living in a place like that, even the warmest people would feel as cold as zombies."
“…”
People downstairs were talking. Lin Ling stood at the stairs holding a glass of water and didn't speak for a long time.
The next day.
Shen Tingsi came over early to cook. He had recently gotten to know Lin Ling's taste a little better. After he finished cooking, he prepared to go back.
When the door opened, Lin Ling had just returned from outside with Zhou Enyou's dog.
Shen Tingsi paused, and moved his hand slightly back, "I'm back."
Lin Ling nodded.
"The food is ready, come in and eat, there are shrimp balls that you like."
Lin Ling glanced at him, then slowly lowered her gaze. "What's wrong with your hand?"
"Oh," Shen Tingsi said calmly with a smile: "Nothing, just a bump. I have something else to do, so I'll go over first."
After saying that, he walked to the opposite side. Lin Ling turned around and watched Shen Tingsi walk into the dark villa under the gloomy sunset.
A few days later, it was Zhou Enyou’s seventeenth birthday.
There were already many people in the house, and it was noisy, with the whole house bustling with activity.
After dinner, Shen Tingsi poured Lin Ling a glass of juice. When he went into the kitchen and came out, the seat he had just sat in was taken by someone else.
It's a breeze.
Shen Tingsi completely didn't understand how a person could love to laugh so much. He was always able to make people laugh when he spoke, and he always had a lot to say.
In fact, Shen Tingsi had chatted with him before, and he was indeed a very comfortable person. He knew when to advance and retreat, and would not make people feel uncomfortable at all. He knew about his past with Lin Ling but did not say anything, just said that it was all in the past.
Shen Tingsi was unwilling to let the past go, but the other party had no scheming and no messy weighing of interests. He simply liked someone.
Therefore, Shen Tingsi had no way to use any shady means on him. Facing an open-minded person, these were too dishonest.
Shen Tingsi is at his wit's end.
Seeing the two talking, Shen Tingsi didn't go over and found a corner to sit down among the people gathered in a circle.
Looking at people openly from a distant diagonal distance and in a corner that no one can notice.
On Zhou Enyou's birthday, this girl was not at all stage-shy. She went up and performed some Tai Chi, which drew cheers from everyone.
Shen Tingsi also applauded, and the phone in his pocket suddenly rang. He stood outside the crowd to make a call.
Midway through the phone call.
Someone took the microphone.
The clear sound is very recognizable in the night.
The surroundings suddenly became quiet. Shen Tingsi's heart sank. He turned around and saw Qingfeng holding a microphone, standing in the crowd. He had a smile on his face and opened his mouth -
"Hello everyone, I am Qingfeng."
"I want to take advantage of our little princess' birthday, such a good day, to express my feelings."
The scene was quiet for a moment, and then everyone looked at Shen Tingsi.
Shen Tingsi also looked over there. Everyone was looking at him, except -
That person.
For a moment, he could not hear the sounds around him, and just stared at the back, his mind blank. After a long time, he blinked hard and saw Qingfeng smiling and taking out a one-second ring from his pocket.
He heard Qingfeng say, "I'm taking advantage of my good fortune and want to give you a ring. It's not to tie you down, but to tell you that whenever you want to get married, just tell me. I'm always here."
"So, before that," Qingfeng gathered his strength, his face flushed, and he said loudly: "Can you please be my girlfriend first?!"
All that was left in Shen Tingsi's ears was the deafening chirping of cicadas, which made his head dizzy. He felt a sudden shock in his heart, as if something heavy was thrown down from ten thousand meters high and smashed to the ground.
He raised his feet, pushed open the door of the villa, walked out without looking back, and locked himself in the cold.
He was afraid that he would hear Lin Ling answer: "Okay."
He was afraid that he no longer had the qualifications to be nice to her.
If he has a partner, he can't come over anymore. This is not right.
He walked quickly, and the microphone behind him suddenly made a harsh noise amid the jeers.
Shen Tingsi didn't know whether the answer he didn't want to hear was hidden in that noise.
A long time after that.
He was too cowardly to dare to set foot in the Bian family’s mansion.
He didn't want to listen, and was afraid to see. He was afraid that one day he would see Qingfeng coming out of Lin Ling's room, and he was even more afraid to hear the news that they were going to get married.
then.
Mr. Shen plunged into the ups and downs of the business world like a madman, and turned back into the vicious and cruel devil on earth.
