"I heard your footsteps." She pursed her lips slightly.
"So you can recognize me just by my footsteps." Lin Zhibai's joy overflowed from his eyes.
Gu Fanyan glanced at him speechlessly, "How old were you when I first met you? You can't even recognize your footsteps?"
"I can not only recognize your footsteps, Lu Dongjue, Shen Xinghui..."
He reached out and sealed her lips with his finger, saying, "Just remember mine."
Gu Fanyan pursed her lips, not expecting him to be so jealous.
But she still felt sweet inside.
"Stop talking nonsense," she turned her face away, "You went to see Huo Beichen, didn't you? What did he say?"
Lin Zhibai snorted, "He said he doesn't have time to see me," he said, glancing at his watch, "In a few hours, he'll be coming to ask me for help finding someone."
"Were those people who harmed Hua Fei really sent by Huo Beichen?" Gu Fanyan asked, looking confused.
"No," Lin Zhibai replied firmly.
"What makes you so sure?" Gu Fanyan asked.
"Because Huo Beichen isn't that ruthless towards Sheng Nanyin." Lin Zhibai shook his head.
He still remembered the winter before, when they went on a business trip together.
"That night we were discussing business with them at a bar. Huo Beichen made them drink a few glasses of wine, and then he got himself pretty drunk too..."
"He ran to the bathroom to vomit and didn't come back for a long time. When I went out to check, I found that he had actually caused a scene in the staff dormitory."
Gu Fanyan asked in confusion, "He doesn't seem like the type to go on a drunken rampage."
Lin Zhibai smiled slightly, "At the time, I also thought he was just drunk and acting crazy. Later I found out that one of the waitresses was named Lan Ying."
Gu Fanyan was stunned and didn't react for a moment.
Lin Zhibai rubbed her head: "Lan Ying, isn't that Nan Yin, Sheng Nan Yin?"
Gu Fanyan was taken aback, but immediately understood what had happened.
"When Huo Beichen heard someone call Lan Ying, he thought it was Sheng Nanyin, so he chased after her to the staff dormitory to look for her."
"But you could also say that he always wanted to find Sheng Nanyin and kill her as soon as possible."
Gu Fanyan briefly recounted the hardships Sheng Nanyin had endured along the way to Lin Zhibai.
Lin Zhibai's expression was the surprise she had imagined.
But after his initial surprise, he shook his head firmly, "These things couldn't have been done by Huo Beichen."
“That day he found that person named Lan Ying, of course, she had absolutely no relation to Sheng Nanyin,” he said. “He was very sad, the kind of sadness that can’t be faked.”
"What if he's a talented actor?" Gu Fanyan asked.
"Why should he put on an act in front of me?" Lin Zhibai retorted.
Gu Fanyan let out a breath.
In fact, she also believed that Huo Beichen wasn't that heartless.
But if this heartless person isn't Huo Beichen, then who is it?
She was genuinely worried.
A layer of sorrow shrouded her beautiful eyebrows and eyes.
A hint of heartache flickered in Lin Zhibai's eyes. Suddenly, he smiled slightly and said, "It's easy to confirm whether it's him or not."
Gu Fanyan looked up with delight.
“Let’s give him a false clue about Sheng Nanyin and see how he reacts,” Lin Zhibai pondered for a moment.
Gu Fanyan's eyes gleamed with increasing joy. "This is a great idea. Let's get it done right away."
Lin Zhibai smiled, "Since your idea is good, how will you thank me?"
His gaze deepened.
She understood all too well what that gaze meant, and her cheeks flushed. "This is a hospital, what are you thinking?"
They're never serious.
"So what if it's a hospital?" Lin Zhibai said dismissively. "No matter where I am, it doesn't matter if I miss my wife."
Gu Fanyan ignored him and turned to leave.
Lin Zhibai returned to the company and sat in his office chair, lost in thought.
Until the assistant's voice rang out: "Young Master Lin, Young Master Lin..."
He raised his eyelids and looked at his assistant with a puzzled expression.
The assistant was also puzzled: "Young Master Lin, do you think the arrangement I just mentioned is alright?"
"What did you just say?" Lin Shao asked.
"You...didn't you ask me to arrange how to leak the false information about Sheng Nanyin to President Huo...?"
Lin Zhibai called him on his way back to the company.
He thought the matter was urgent, so he quickly came up with three solutions.
Now it seems that his work attitude was too proactive.
“Oh,” Lin Zhibai remembered, “I think the first one is very good.”
assistant:……
Did he even listen attentively?
"Young Master Lin, what's troubling you?" The assistant was considerate; he could tell at a glance that something was wrong.
Lin Zhibai thought for a moment, "Tell me, what do I need to do to get Fanyan to agree to marry me?"
The assistant thought for a moment and said, "If you want to make a girl happy, catering to her preferences is definitely the right thing to do."
"You see, if you help Miss Gu get what she wants, she will naturally be happy, and things will be easier to discuss."
Lin Zhibai thought and thought, but still couldn't figure out what Gu Fanyan needed.
Gu Fanyan had everything that most girls lacked.
“Young Master,” the assistant slapped his thigh, “I have a friend who, when he was pursuing his wife, brought her brother’s son with her.”
“My friend and that kid have a really good relationship. That kid treats him like a brother and his aunt like a sister-in-law!”
Lin Zhibai's handsome eyes lit up, sensing that this matter had potential.
For now, he can still keep Liang Mufan under control.
"I'll send you a big red envelope on the day I marry Fanyan." Lin Zhibai got up and left.
As he reached the door, he glanced back at his assistant and said, "The friend you're talking about, isn't it actually yourself?"
The assistant secretly wiped away sweat, thinking that as long as Young Master Lin was happy, he could do it himself.
In the afternoon, the city streets were briefly quiet, with only a few cars passing by on the main roads.
A minivan pulled over to the side of the road.
Huo Beichen opened the electric car door and got inside.
His eyes widened in surprise before he finally spotted Lin Zhibai among the Ultraman toys filling the car.
"What do you mean?" he asked, a little confused. "My son doesn't like Ultraman."
"Stop flattering yourself," Lin Zhibai said, scoffing. "This has nothing to do with you. I'm asking you, why can't we get in touch with Dr. Hua?"
Huo Beichen's eyes flickered slightly. "I...why are you looking for her?"
"It's for my dad's medical treatment," Lin Zhibai said. "Dr. Hua has never missed our appointments before, so why isn't he on time this time? And I can't get through to him on the phone."
Huo Beichen pursed his lips tightly: "She had a little argument with me and left home. I'm trying to find her."
Lin Zhibai raised an eyebrow dismissively: "You've only been married a few days and you've already driven her away?"
"If you ask me, your ex-girlfriend had a better temper. What was her name again? Sheng Nanyin, right?"
Huo Beichen's pupils dilated slightly, but he didn't show it. He simply said, "Whether my woman has a good temper or not is none of your business."
Lin Zhibai chuckled: "Look at you, still jealous? You've already married someone else, haven't you?"
"Don't worry, even if I seek out Sheng Nanyin, it's only to get treatment for my father's illness."
"Looking for Sheng Nanyin?" Huo Beichen asked, "You...do you have any information about her?"
