It was already five o'clock in the afternoon when we came out of the city hall.
Li Lin did not go to find Ren Jianghai and Liao Xiaoqiang immediately.
After all, this is a negotiation. If you stick too close, the other party will feel superior, and the conditions you propose will be rejected outright by the other party.
Give them a cool head first, let them feel a little nervous, and create a favorable atmosphere for your side for the next negotiation.
On the way back to the hotel, Li Lin turned on his mobile phone and saw the message from Xu Wen first.
She said, I have to go back tomorrow, can we meet again in the evening?
Looking at the time, it has been more than an hour since I received this message.
Thinking that Xu Wen must be anxiously waiting for his reply in the hotel, he felt a little guilty, so he replied a message and turned around to Dongsheng Hotel.
The time spent waiting for others is the hardest to bear.
Neither sitting nor standing, nothing to do...
This is how Xu Wen spent more than an hour feeling anxious and worried.
When she received Li Lin's reply, she jumped up from the sofa excitedly, stared at the text on the phone screen nervously, and read, "Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. I just finished my work and will come to you now."
He is finally done!
Xu Wen was surprised. She stood up and rushed into the bathroom to start dressing up. She tied her hair into a low ponytail and put on a cute hairpin...she was ready.
Without the embellishment of expensive cosmetics or the embellishment of gorgeous jewelry, she is still incredibly beautiful, like a fresh and ethereal fairy.
She patted her face in front of the mirror. It was so smooth and flawless. She raised the corners of her mouth in satisfaction and smiled.
“Knock, knock, knock…”
There was a knock on the door, neither hurried nor slow.
Xu Wen trotted over and pulled open the bolt.
The two looked at each other, their eyes filled with anticipation and joy, yet they seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"Are you done?"
"Sorry to have kept you waiting."
They both spoke at the same time and smiled at each other.
"Come in."
Xu Wen grabbed Li Lin's arm and dragged him into the house.
Sitting on the sofa.
Xu Wen was busy making tea for Li Lin. Perhaps because she was too excited, the water in the cup overflowed and spread all over the table.
Followed by Xu Wen's scream of "Ah".
Li Lin hurriedly found a tissue to wipe the table.
When he noticed that Xu Wen's hands were also wet, he quickly asked with concern, "Are you burned? Does it hurt?"
Xu Wen shook her head firmly, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt."
Li Lin took out some clean paper, held her hand and wiped it carefully.
Looking at the back of her hand that had turned red from the burn, Li Lin blew on it considerately.
Suddenly, Xu Wen withdrew her hand, pursed her lips, and looked at Li Lin quietly.
Li Lin was startled, and when he saw Xu Wen's bright eyes, he stood there in a daze.
The two stood facing each other, their eyes locked together, and time came to a standstill.
After a long while, Xu Wen looked into Li Lin's eyes, her lips moved slightly, and she asked him, "Why are you so nice to me?"
Li Lin moved his lips and wanted to say something like "I'm worried that you'd get hurt", but felt it was inappropriate and swallowed the words back.
Seeing that Li Lin didn't answer, Xu Wen's mouth tightened, "Answer quickly, the first reaction is the real thought. You thought about it for so long, are you trying to lie to me?"
"No, I didn't mean to lie to you." Li Lin said.
"Then tell me, why do you care about me so much? Why are you so nice to me?" Xu Wen asked, not giving Li Lin any time to think.
"Because I want to be good to you." Li Lin blurted out.
Xu Wen was stunned.
Time seemed to stop again.
The room was silent, with only the sound of their breathing intertwining.
Li Lin's eyes gradually became gentle, and he said, "I want to be good to you. I can't help but want to be good to you. I can't bear to see you get hurt because it will hurt me."
Feel sorry for me?
Xu Wen looked at Li Lin infatuatedly, feeling like she was dreaming and surrounded by warmth and happiness.
She said seriously, "Then tell me, you like me."
Li Lin said without hesitation, "I like you."
As soon as she finished speaking, a smile appeared on Xu Wen's face, like an innocent child, like a beautiful flower blooming towards the sun.
Li Lin held her in his arms and enjoyed the faint fragrance of her hair.
Xu Wen put her arms around Li Lin's neck, pecked his cheek gently, and said, "I like you too. I liked you the first time I saw you. Li Lin, do you know how tormented I am to stay alone in the room these days? As soon as I close my eyes, you are all in my mind. I miss you all the time. Can you feel it?"
"Yes, I accepted you from the moment you fed me the snacks," said Li Lin.
Xu Wen was moved and couldn't help but kiss Li Lin.
Li Lin hugged her tighter and responded gently.
Two hours later.
Xu Wen blushed as she leaned into Li Lin's arms and said in a tender voice, "You must have had many girlfriends before, right?"
Are you suspecting that Li Lin is "battle-hardened" and therefore has sophisticated skills?
Li Lin smiled and said, "No."
Xu Wen didn't believe it, she grabbed the soft flesh of his thigh and said, "I don't care about it before, but you can only have me from now on."
Li Lin cried out in pain and begged for mercy, "Of course, you are the only one in my heart."
Hearing this, Xu Wen smiled happily, put her head tightly against Li Lin's chest, and said, "I believe you."
As she spoke, she stretched out her soft and boneless little hand and restlessly probed Li Lin's body, and asked with a rosy smile, "Do you still have strength?"
Li Lin pretended to be serious and said, "Comrade Xu Wen, I must criticize you for your remarks. Are you questioning my ability? I am in good health, I am just afraid that you can't handle it..."
"Oh?" Xu Wen half-covered her face with the quilt and said with a wicked smile, "I'm not afraid of you."
This sentence aroused Li Lin's competitive spirit. He stood up and hugged Xu Wen in his arms.
...
As the sun slowly rose the next day.
Soft light shines through the large floor-to-ceiling windows.
The clothes thrown casually on the floor of the room, the messy bedding on the bed...all tell silently that the battle was fierce last night.
Li Lin slowly opened his eyes and found that it was already daybreak. Thinking of the important work he had to do today, he stood up abruptly, picked up his clothes and put them on.
Xu Wen hugged his waist coquettishly, not letting him move, "It's still early, sleep a little longer..."
Li Lin lowered his head and kissed her on the cheek, then said with a smile, "Go to sleep. I have to discuss cooperation with two companies today, so I can't go too late."
Xu Wen smiled sweetly and teased him, "You spent so much energy last night, do you still have the energy to negotiate today?"
Indeed, I overexerted myself last night and my waist is a little sore.
Li Lin rubbed his waist and said, "Don't worry, I will recover quickly."
Xu Wen chuckled twice, hugged him tightly and said, "Let me see how fast you recover."
