Sweet dreams
As soon as she landed in Jinghe, Lin Luo called Uncle Li at the airport and asked which hotel Fu Xingchuan was staying in. She said she wanted to give him a surprise and asked Uncle Li not to tell him.
Jinghe was still the same. Lin Luo took a taxi to the hotel entrance and happened to meet Fu Xingchuan coming back.
Seeing Lin Luo, Fu Xingchuan's expression changed slightly, "Why are you here?"
Come to you.
Just as Lin Luo was about to speak, his phone screen lit up. It was Su Youyi calling.
At the same time, a group of familiar people came into the hall. They were colleagues from the institute. Fu Xingchuan noticed her and asked her, "Are you here on a business trip?"
Lin Qi pulled the corner of his mouth stiffly, "Yes."
"Got it." The phone went off, and Fu Xingchuan said to her, "I have a meeting to attend. I'm leaving first."
"good."
After he left, Wu Yun was surprised to see her. "Xiaoxiao, why are you here? Didn't you ask for leave for something urgent?"
"It's been resolved." She said lightly.
"Well, you've already taken leave and can rest, so you don't need to come over!"
"It's okay." Lin Luo smiled bitterly. How could it be such a coincidence?
In the afternoon, Lin Luo went with her colleagues to attend an academic forum. After finally making the trip to Jinghe, everyone went out for dinner together.
In the private room, Lin Luo had no appetite and stared out the window, but it was pitch black and silent. Wu Yun came back from the bathroom and approached Lin Luo, asking, "What's wrong?"
"Fu Xingchuan is in the next box, why don't you go and say hello?"
If I guessed correctly, Su Youyi was also there, and there were other bosses, "He's here to discuss business, why should I join in the fun?"
"I heard the person they're having dinner with seems to be the CEO of a famous foreign biopharmaceutical company! He must know you."
"I'm not that famous. It would be embarrassing if someone didn't recognize me."
Just as she finished speaking, the new assistant researcher Xiao Fei, who had a poor alcohol tolerance, got drunk and acted crazy, accidentally spilling red wine on her clothes, which got her inner layer wet and stuck to her body, which was uncomfortable.
Wu Yun handed her a bag and said, "I have some clothes here, go change into them!"
Lin Luo didn't answer. "Isn't this something you just bought? It'll get dirty if I wear it."
"Just wash it if it's dirty! It's okay, we're just friends!" Wu Yun stuffed it into her arms.
Lin Luo went to the bathroom to change out of her wet clothes. The dress Wu Yun had bought was a white, soft, lazy-looking off-shoulder sweater. It seemed a bit large, and Lin Luo kept checking her right shoulder, worried about exposing herself.
"Cecilia."
The voice was so familiar, Lin Luo looked up. Cody, who was not far away, looked at her, his brows relaxed, and he said in standard Chinese, "It really is you!"
"When did you come to China and what are you doing here?" Lin Luo was very surprised.
Cody turned sideways, and Lin Luo saw an old foreign man behind him. She knew him as the CEO Wu Yun had just mentioned.
The door of the front box was opened, and Fu Xingchuan came out and greeted and shook hands with the old man in French.
Cody told her: "I'm here to do Chinese translation this time."
The old man actually recognized her and came over to say something in French. Fu Xingchuan followed. Lin Luo looked at Cody, who translated, "He said, 'Ms. Lin Luo, it's an honor to meet you. I've read the research you published in Nuture. It's amazing that you've achieved so much at such a young age.'"
"Thank you." Lin Luo smiled.
Cody and the old man introduced her. Fu Xingchuan had learned some French and understood what he said, saying that Lin Qiao was his Chinese teacher.
He looked at Lin Luo with eyes full of pride, not quite innocent. Fu Xingchuan blinked, walked over to her and said to him, "You two have known each other before, what a coincidence."
"I'm her husband." He extended his hand to shake Cody's.
The curve of Cody's mouth narrowed a little. Lin Luo looked at Fu Xingchuan. He was about to start showing off again.
Cody translated for the old man, who burst into laughter. Fu Xingchuan understood what he meant: "Mr. Fu and Ms. Lin seem to be a good match."
But Cody didn't translate.
Su Youyi came back from the bathroom and greeted the old man calmly and generously in French. She went to study in France after graduating from university.
Lin Qiao had no idea what they were saying. Cody tried to translate for her, but Fu Xingchuan got there first and said, "Let's go in and have dinner together!"
Fu Xingchuan probably kept her because she was useful, Lin Luo said "hmm" softly.
They were talking about business, Cody was diligently translating, and Lin Luoguang was just listening, unable to get a word in, and chewing his steak in silence.
Cody sat across from her. Listening to his very standard Mandarin and high translation level, Lin Luo recalled the days in college when she gave him online classes at night to correct his pronunciation, taught him how to form words and sentences, and worked hard to study during the day.
The first time she met Fu Xingchuan to discuss business, he was relaxed and composed, while Su Youyi was elegant in her manners and speech. The two of them worked well together, and Lin Luo couldn't help but look at her a few more times.
The old man also praised her, saying that she was beautiful and had the temperament of a French woman. Lin Luo lowered her eyes. She didn't seem to be dressed very modestly now.
Fu Xingchuan had a blank expression on his face. Seeing that the CEO's intention to cooperate was quite clear and he was chatting about private matters with Su Youyi, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He tilted his head to look at Lin Luo and found that her clothes didn't seem to fit her well today, and half of her shoulder was exposed, so he put his hand around her right side and pulled her up.
Lin Luo was surprised by the warmth of his palm and asked quietly, "What are you doing?"
"Your clothes are strange." He said with a smile, "Maybe you put them on wrongly."
He got too close, so Lin Xiao elbowed him and said, "It's just like that."
Fu Xingchuan's hand still lingered on her arm, helping her to hold her clothes in place. Lin Qi blushed as the others looked at her, and when she met Su Youyi's gaze, she felt even more complicated.
The old man said, "Mr. Fu loves Mrs. Fu very much. It's really enviable."
Lin Luo frowned. Was he sincere or just pretending?
After dinner, after seeing off the drunk old man, Lin Luo and Cody stood aside to say goodbye. He had work to do tomorrow and had to fly to Ireland.
"Can this feeling be reminisced? But it was already gone then." Cody suddenly recited a poem. Before Lin Luo could react, he said, "Remember? This was the first poem you taught me."
She didn't remember much, and also forgot why this poem was taught first. Shouldn't she have taught simpler ones first?
"Do you understand what that means now?" she asked.
"Yeah." Cody suddenly hugged her. "Lin Qiao, you asked me why I wanted to learn Chinese. I didn't answer, but the truth is, I learned Chinese because of a beautiful girl."
Lin Luo didn't ask who the pretty girl was. She patted his back and said, "Nice to meet you. Thank you so much."
They parted ways, and Lin Luo watched Cody get into the car and leave, not knowing whether they would see each other again.
Fu Xingchuan stopped the car in front of her. Su Youyi ran to the passenger seat, opened the door, and shouted inside, "Fu Xingchuan, I'm drunk. Can you take me home?"
Fu Xingchuan glanced over, and Lin Qi lowered her head to avoid him. Then she heard him say, "Sorry, I'm afraid I can't. My wife would mind."
Lin Luo raised his head and breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Youyi really couldn't stand steadily. Lin Luo didn't get in the car immediately, but called a taxi for her first. After all, it might be because Fu Xingchuan used the excuse of stomachache to avoid drinking that she drank so much.
Lin Luo took a picture of the license plate number and sent her off. Just as she was about to get in the car, she heard Wu Yun calling her and other colleagues from the institute.
As they approached, Lin Qi asked Fu Xingchuan, "Can you give them a ride back to the hotel?"
"Can."
Sitting in the back seat were Wu Yun, Xiao Fei and Deputy Director An.
All three of them were drunk.
Wu Yun was heartbroken and cried, "What's so good about having a younger brother? Now I have another ex-boyfriend. Am I a stamp card collector?"
"Xiaoxiao, next time I'm going to find someone as handsome and non-clingy as Fu Xingchuan."
Lin Luo stole a few glances at Fu Xingchuan, but he still had no expression.
"Fu Xingchuan? I haven't even met Xiaolin's husband!" Deputy Director An adjusted his glasses and looked at Fu Xingchuan in the rearview mirror. "He's just so-so! Not as handsome as my student. Xiaolin! You're getting married too quickly. You should have gone on a blind date with my student first."
Please stop talking. Lin Luo noticed that Fu Xingchuan frowned.
Xiao Fei, who had been sitting quietly in the middle for a short while, started to act crazy again, dancing and gesticulating as if she had suddenly fallen ill. "That Fu Xingchuan seems quite playboy."
"If he dares to bully my senior sister, I will definitely be the first one to not let him off. I will beat him to a pulp and make him piss and shit..."
Thank you. Lin Qi said to Fu Xingchuan, "They're drunk and talking nonsense! Don't bother with them."
Fu Xingchuan said lazily, "Is this how you usually evaluate me in the office? My impression of me in their eyes is worrying!"
"I haven't mentioned you much." Lin Luo told the truth.
Fu Xingchuan sneered and parked the car in front of the hotel. Deputy Director An still wanted to drink, so he went to the canteen.
Lin Luo and Wu Yun supported Xiao Fei. She pushed Lin Luo away and said, "Senior Sister will definitely live with President Fu...Senior Sister, please don't send us off. We can handle it."
Lin Luo let her hands hang down at her sides, watching Wu Yun and her support each other as they walked in.
She looked at Fu Xingchuan, and he took her back to her room. It was a very luxurious room. I heard that he didn't go home to live there because he didn't want to see the faces of the other members of the Fu family.
Fu Xingchuan was about to hold a conference call, so Lin Luo sat on the bed and sent a message to Wen Zenian: [Senior Brother, I'm here at Jinghe.]
Almost instantly replied, [Why did you come back so suddenly? ]
Lin Qiao: [Attending the academic forum, why didn’t you go today?]
NIAN: [I have a cold. If I had known you were coming, I would have gone out wearing a mask.]
Lin Xiao: [If you have a cold, take a good rest. Get well soon. I'll treat you to a meal!]
NIAN: [Okay.]
Lin Luo raised her head when she saw Fu Xingchuan approaching from the corner of her eye. Without any prelude, he kissed her directly.
The sudden kiss was like a storm, catching everyone off guard, filled with an undeniable madness. Their noses met, their lips and teeth pressed together, and the kiss was long and lingering. Lin Luo's lips were swollen from being sucked by him, and she almost starved for air.
Lin Luo was breathing heavily. Fu Xingchuan pushed her sweater up and took it off easily. Lin Luo felt that he was a little fierce today, as if he was not going to give her any chance to breathe.
But when Lin Luo's face flushed and she looked at him uncomfortably, he relaxed again.
Lin Qiao took the initiative to kiss him, but he dodged and used his fingers to brush away the sweat-soaked hair on her face. He asked in a hoarse voice, "Have you had fun with other men since you haven't contacted me during this time?"
She didn't say anything. Fu Xingchuan was not anxious either, so he just stood there with her.
Lin Luo bit her lip and didn't speak for a long time. Fu Xingchuan lost his patience and made her feel so uncomfortable that Lin Luo was forced to say, "There is no one else."
Fu Xingchuan touched her face and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I would have made you feel better if you had told me earlier."
What a bad guy! But Lin Luo likes it.
Fu Xingchuan was concentrating on his work. Lin Luo had no nails, and her fingertips dug deep into the thin layer of muscle on his back.
Late at night, when everyone was asleep, Lin Luo opened her eyes and vaguely saw Fu Xingchuan's hand gently stroking her brow.
He said, "That old man definitely has a problem with his eyes. Although you don't look like a French woman, you are much prettier than a French woman."
Lin Luo was very happy.
Fu Xingchuan was puzzled, "Why are you grinning like an idiot?"
He added, "You have eye problems too. Next time I'll have to find a hospital to take you to."
Lin Luo smiled even more happily.
She saw a few scattered snowflakes floating outside the window. Fu Xingchuan was lying beside her. She moved closer to him and buried her head in his arms, feeling very warm.
What a sweet dream!
