freezing point
Lin Yu vaguely felt something rubbing against her face, and there was a familiar fragrance. Then something very cold suddenly touched her face. She woke up instantly. Tao Xingye was holding the cat and laughing so hard that his whole body fell on the bed.
"Boring." Lin Yu pulled out her hand that was pressed by him, kicked off the quilt and was about to get out of bed. Tao Xingye took a long step, knelt on the bed, and walked around to Lin Yu and followed her to the bathroom.
"Lin Xiaomai, you're not physically strong enough. Yesterday, I carried you down the mountain and drove you, and I got up at seven in the morning as usual. I even gave Damai a bath." Tao Xingye said as he squeezed between the sink and Lin Yu, and lifted Tao Damai up to face Lin Yu.
The chubby kitten kept raising its paws at Lin Yu, and Lin Yu's heart melted. She bit her toothbrush and held the kitten in her arms. It was indeed the kitten's fragrance.
Tao Xingye didn't leave either. He leaned on the sink and stared at Lin Yu, playing with her hair. Her hair had grown below her shoulders, and he got interested and took a comb and insisted on combing Lin Yu's hair.
"Stop it, it will hurt me to death if you comb my hair." "Hey, let me try once, just once." Tao Xingye turned Lin Yu's body over like a spoiled child and started to comb her hair properly.
Someone like him actually has a great interest in hair. When Lin Yu finished brushing her teeth and was about to wash her face, he held up Lin Yu's hair. When Lin Yu walked out, he followed behind her, not knowing what he was doing.
"Hurry up, I need to change my clothes." Lin Yu turned around and was glared at by Tao Xingye. Well, she didn't turn her head.
A few minutes later, Tao Xingye clapped his hands and excitedly took a picture of Lin Yu with his mobile phone. It was a very simple braid. I wonder how it took him so long to braid it.
Lin Yu just glanced at Tao Xingye and pushed him out, not noticing Tao Xingye's expectant look at all.
If you don't praise him, then don't praise him! Tao Xingye took the kitten away with a stiff face. Bored of waiting, he had no choice but to go downstairs to buy breakfast for Lin Yu.
Lin Yu changed her clothes and went to open the door for Tao Xingye, but she didn't expect him to be carrying a large pile of breakfast and putting it on the table. Why did Tao Xingye suddenly become like this?
Lin Yu ate a fried dough stick tentatively, "Do you have something to ask of me?"
When Tao Xingye heard this, disdain immediately appeared on his face. "You can't handle what my brother can't handle. I saw that your foot was injured, so I'm concerned about my wife. Is there a problem with that?" He winked at Lin Yu coquettishly.
When his cell phone rang, Tao Xingye wanted to hang up, but found out it was his assistant calling.
"Hey, it's me, what's wrong?"
I don't know what was said over there, but Tao Xingye's face turned a little ugly, as if he minded Lin Yu being next to him. He walked towards the bathroom in a disheveled manner, and Lin Yu suddenly felt a little lost.
It was a long time before Tao Xingye came out of the bathroom again, his eyes hesitant, as if he was hiding something. Lin Yu glanced at his clenched fingers, which had turned white, then looked away, concentrating on eating without looking at him. "The bathroom is well soundproofed, you don't have to worry about me hearing your business secrets."
Her tone was full of sarcasm, which suddenly ignited all of Tao Xingye's displeasure.
"When did I say it was a trade secret? Even if it's really my company's business, can I not tell you if you want to know?"
Tao Xingye looked at Lin Yu's indifferent expression. They were talking and laughing just now, so how could he suddenly become as cold as he was at the beginning?
She sat at the dining table, expressionless and with an aura that kept people at a distance. She was silent as if she believed he was wary of her and refused to give him any chance to explain. A feeling of powerlessness enveloped Tao Xingye.
Thinking of what his assistant had said, his fear grew even stronger. If Lin Yu knew that Xu Meihan had spread all her information online, what would she think of him?
The work of Lin Yu Research Institute needs to be kept confidential, so why would they want an employee like her whose exposure is almost as high as that of a celebrity?
She married me for her job. If she lost her job, would she divorce me?
"No, I won't allow it!"
Tao Xingye grabbed Lin Yu's wrist and pulled her into his arms, kissing her like crazy. A light rain was drizzling outside the window, but he ignored it and pushed Lin Yu to the French window.
Lin Yu refused to obey him, and they smashed almost everything in the room. Tao Damai bit Tao Xingye's trouser legs to get him to let go of Lin Yu, but he picked up the person on the ground and threw him onto the bed.
Lin Yu's ankle hit the headboard of the bed, causing him to convulse in pain, but Tao Xingye approached him.
"Don't force me, Xingye, we will have plenty of time in the future, please don't do this, okay?" Lin Yu's heart was bleeding, but Tao Xingye was stubborn and had only one thought left, to possess her.
He unbuttoned his shirt in a few seconds, grabbed Lin Yu's ankles and pulled her closer, completely ignoring the fear in Lin Yu's eyes.
After a long time, Tao Xingye carried Lin Yu to the bathroom.
Lin Yu, like a puppet, allowed him to put her in the bathtub. She was upset, and so was Tao Xingye. The relationship between the two of them, which had once eased, had returned to a freezing point, even worse than before.
Tao Xingye had a cold expression on his face as he prepared the bath water for her. When Lin Yu didn't move, he started bathing her.
He didn't understand at that time that Lin Yu was almost falling in love with him.
Jin Mingshan's heartbeat was right in front of her eyes. How excited she was yesterday was how painful she felt today. Lin Yu cried so hard that she could hardly breathe. Drop after drop of tears fell into the water. Tao Xingye's hand holding the bath ball froze, and no one noticed that his tears were falling.
He thought, even if Lin Yu hated him, at least it was better than having nothing to do with him.
"Xiaoyu, I really love you." Tao Xingye touched the corner of her eyes, with a pleading look in his eyes. There were so many things he wanted to tell this person in front of him, but so many things he couldn't say.
He is a favored child in the eyes of everyone in Jincheng, but he is also a substitute who cannot compare to Tao Xinghai in the family. He is also a mediocre person who cannot maintain a friendship even if he spends a lot of effort.
They are all He Fan's children, and he could never understand why his mother left him alone in the country; they were all classmates from the same junior high school, and he was still upset about why Lin Yu broke up with him because of the dead Jiang Shuang.
"I have been alone for six years in Switzerland." Tao Xingye knelt on the ground unconsciously, as if this way he could be closer to her Xiaoyu. He raised his head and looked at Lin Yu, his eyes burning as if he wanted to remember her face firmly in his heart.
"You can hit me and scold me all you want, but if it happens again, I will still do it." His voice was half low and half breathy, like crying and complaining, as if he was the one being forced.
Lin Yu didn't understand why Tao Xingye acted like he had suffered a great injustice. She couldn't understand Tao Xingye's show of weakness, she just felt disgusted.
"If you really want me, we don't have to get married." Lin Yu's smile was particularly sarcastic, and his eyes pierced Tao Xingye's heart like a knife. "Why would you resort to physical force to force me, Mr. Tao? With just one order from you, you can ruin my reputation in this industry or threaten me with other things. Why wouldn't I accompany you?"
The smile on her face grew wider, but her eyes were filled with hatred, hatred for him personally destroying the only bit of excitement she had. "Tao Xingye, you don't have to marry me. You say you're my husband, but ask around the world and see which husband would treat his wife like you do? What do you think of me as? A bed partner? Or a tool for you to show off your power and satisfy your vanity?"
She was hysterical and her voice was getting louder and louder. Tao Xingye couldn't say a word. He hugged her and tried to calm her down, but she struggled even harder. She had just received a blood transfusion last night and her emotions were fluctuating violently. Her body went limp and she lost consciousness.
Lin Yu woke up in Tao Xingye's apartment the next day. Tao Xingye was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with his back to her. The entire glass was wet with rain and covered with a layer of fog, making it impossible to see what was ahead.
Will this rain never stop?
Lin Yu supported himself on the bed and tried to sit up but he had no strength. Tao Xingye heard the noise and turned around, his face looking particularly bad.
He said nothing. The air conditioner in the room was extremely low. He walked towards Lin Yu in black. Lin Yu unconsciously hugged the quilt and curled up. There was a flash of displeasure in his eyes, but he said nothing.
He put his hand on Lin Yu's forehead, and the coldness made him shiver.
"What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you." Tao Xingye helped Lin Yu sit up and stuffed a pillow behind her waist. Lin Yu didn't respond. He stared at her for a long time and left the room in silence.
When he came back, he was holding a bowl of porridge in his hand. There was a faint smell of medicine on him. Lin Yu was wondering if he smelled it wrongly, so he blew a mouthful of porridge and fed it to Lin Yu's mouth, "I didn't know you would wake up so soon. Drink some porridge first and take the medicine."
Lin Yu wanted to speak, but her voice was hoarse. Tao Xingye ate the spoonful of porridge himself and put the bowl in Lin Yu's hand. "If you don't want me to feed you, then do it yourself."
He sat next to Lin Yu, staring at her while she ate, his eyes filled with worry and caution for unknown reasons. After Lin Yu finished eating, he took the bowl and placed his hand on her forehead to check the temperature.
He returned to the kitchen, half leaning on the island and staring at the medicine in the pot. The warm medicine didn't actually require him to keep watching it here, but Lin Yu was already awake at this moment, and he didn't know how to face her.
Although all the information revealed by Xu Meihan was handled as quickly as possible by his public relations team, the Institute of Optics and Electronics still sent a letter of dismissal.
He deleted the letter when Lin Yu was unconscious.
What should he say? Should he tell Lin Yu that he had lost her current job because he hadn't handled his relationship with his ex properly? There really couldn't be any more estrangement between him and Lin Yu.
He filled a bowl of medicine in a daze. Lin Yu wanted to drink it herself, but he refused to let go.
She should know the news by tomorrow afternoon at the latest.
By then, there might be a huge quarrel between him and her, and there would never be such a tender moment sitting opposite each other again.
With affection, he fed Lin Yu a bowl of medicine, spoonful by spoonful, and it took him nearly half an hour.
He cleaned the room and helped Lin Yu to wash up. At nine o'clock in the evening, the bedroom was pitch black. Lin Yu had been lying in bed all day and couldn't sleep at all, let alone sleeping in the same bed with Tao Xingye, even though Tao Xingye was very tactful to keep his distance from her tonight and turned his back to her.
"I am your husband." A muffled voice came from the side, and the man sighed. Lin Yu thought he would say something else, but Tao Xingye didn't say anything else.
He sat up slowly and pulled back the quilt with very small movements, "I'm going to sleep in another room."
