Chapter 137: Going out and having a little secret
"You...just leave this...just like this?" Lin Xu was stunned.
Chen Jinhe came over and closed the cabinet door nonchalantly, jokingly saying, "I forgot to close the door when I was cleaning up this morning, but it's nothing, isn't it? Don't you have any at home? Your husband doesn't look like an innocent little boy who knows nothing."
Lin Xu blushed: "Who has so many?"
Chen Jinhe grasped the key information: "Oh, so there is. What's the big deal? If you like it, I can recommend a store to you."
As Chen Jinhe spoke, he led Lin Xu, who had changed his clothes, out of the cloakroom.
Lin Xu insisted on sleeping on the sofa, and Chen Jinhe didn't stop him.
The two chatted until very late, and Chen Jinhe went back to the bedroom to sleep.
Before going to bed, he sent Lin Xu the links of all the stores he frequently visited.
Lin Xu curled up on the sofa, clicked on it out of curiosity, his face turned red, and he placed a few orders.
Not only did he buy styles that he thought were worth trying, he also bought styles that he thought were suitable for Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan called him, and the vibration of his phone scared him so much that he almost threw it away.
Lin Xu felt a guilty conscience, yet also had a faint sense of anticipation.
"Are you asleep?" Zhou Yan asked softly.
"not yet."
"What are you—doing?"
Zhou Yan knew Lin Xu too well. The two of them were together day and night, and Zhou Yan could tell if there was something wrong with his tone.
Something is wrong with Lin Xu now.
The voice was a little hurried and the breathing was a little heavy.
Lin Xu hurriedly put the phone away and took a deep breath: "Nothing, just lying down."
"Oh...where's Chen Jinhe?"
"He went back to the bedroom to sleep, and I slept on the sofa."
"Why is he sleeping on the sofa? Isn't there a hotel near his house?" Zhou Yan felt distressed.
"I finally got here, so I wanted to chat with him more. But if I stay in a hotel, I won't be able to chat with him," Lin Xu explained.
"Okay, then cover yourself up and don't catch a cold. If you don't sleep well, find a hotel tomorrow, okay?"
"Yeah. What are you doing? Ready for bed?"
"I'm already lying in bed." Zhou Yan patted Lin Xu's pillow gently and said, "I'm afraid I'm going to have insomnia if you're not around."
"Then I'll accompany you. Put your phone on the pillow."
Zhou Yan laughed and said, "Putting it on the pillow is too unrealistic. It has to be put on my arm."
When the two of them sleep together, Lin Xu basically doesn't use a pillow, and Zhou Yan has to hold him in her arms to sleep peacefully.
Lin Xu's lips curled up into a sweet smile, he closed his eyes and rested his forehead on the back of the sofa, whispering: "Then go to sleep, I'll be back in two days."
"Xuxu, I miss you so much." Zhou Yan stroked the phone, as if this could make Lin Xu feel it.
Lin Xu also responded to him: "I miss you too."
The next morning, Lin Xu went out to meet up with Han Jingyi and others for a meeting with Party A.
The person in charge of Party A is a detail-oriented person and he has to discuss at least two options for each link.
Lin Xu expected to complete the entire trip and return in three days, but it was delayed for five days.
The one who got back before him was the express delivery he secretly bought in the middle of the night.
Lin Xu only remembered this incident when he saw the delivery reminder on his phone and was almost scared to death.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Han Jingyi sat opposite him and asked with concern.
"No, no, I just suddenly remembered something, so I'll make a phone call."
Lin Xu came out of the conference room and went into the tea room next to it. After thinking for a while, he called the front desk of the B&B.
"Boss Lin? Is there anything I can help you with?" asked the receptionist.
Lin Xu asked anxiously, "Is your boss Zhou in the store?"
Zhou Yan, who was standing next to the front desk at this time, raised his eyebrows.
He was just talking to the front desk when he saw Lin Xu's call.
Zhou Yan was just curious for a moment, wondering why Lin Xu didn't call him directly.
He was working outside and didn't need to worry about the B&B, so it was suspicious that he called at this time.
Zhou Yan asked the receptionist to answer the phone, turned on the speakerphone, and he listened next to her.
After Lin Xu asked if he was there, the receptionist looked at him.
Zhou Yan shook his head.
The receptionist said, "He's not here right now. He might be out. What can I do for you?"
Lin Xu breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that he's not here."
His words startled the receptionist, who looked at Zhou Yan tremblingly.
Zhou Yan listened attentively with a blank expression, and it was unclear what emotion he was feeling.
Lin Xu continued, "I'll receive a package today. It's for the address next door. Call the courier later and have him deliver it to you. You absolutely mustn't let Boss Zhou see this, understand?"
"Huh?" The receptionist quickly looked at Zhou Yan, and after Zhou Yan nodded, she said, "Oh, okay."
"Don't let my brother see it. You must answer it when he is not in the store. Hide it somewhere first, and no one is allowed to open it." Lin Xu was worried and reminded him again and again.
"Well, don't worry, I'll just say it's my delivery, the boss won't be suspicious."
The front desk clerk is the front desk clerk after all, and has the ability to handle emergencies, so Lin Xu did not become suspicious.
After Lin Xu finished his instructions, he hung up the phone and went back to continue the meeting.
Zhou Yan leaned against the front desk, lowered his eyes to look at the phone at the front desk, and laughed angrily.
There is a little secret when I go out.
And it is obvious that he is protecting himself.
What will it be?
The receptionist didn't dare to say anything and quietly put the phone back under the table.
After a while, Zhou Yan said, "Don't worry about it. If he asks, just say you've already put it away for him and he can get it when he comes back."
"Okay, okay." The receptionist nodded repeatedly.
He was afraid that the quarrel between the boss and the boss's wife would affect him.
In the evening, it was Lin Xu’s last night in Beijing.
Party A invited them to dinner and they couldn't refuse, so they had to go back tomorrow morning.
Zhou Yan took a shower, sat cross-legged on the bed, and stared at the big box in front of him in a daze.
What did Lin Xu buy that he didn't dare let himself know?
Moreover, the shipment was kept confidential and nothing was written on the express delivery label, which really makes people curious.
The items that will be shipped confidentially are generally private items.
Lin Xu has all the personal items he needs at home.
Even if you buy it, you won’t need such a big box.
Zhou Yan studied the box for a full half hour, but finally resisted the urge to open it.
Lin Xu's express delivery clearly stated that she didn't want him to know about it, so it was indeed inappropriate for him to open it without his permission.
It is true that Lin Xu is his lover, but she also has the right to her own privacy.
Although Zhou Yan was unhappy about Lin Xu hiding something from him, he still held back.
He put the box away and waited for Lin Xu to come back and confront him face to face.
Lin Xu confirmed the receipt of the express delivery with the front desk in the afternoon.
At Zhou Yan's instruction, the receptionist calmly said that they had put it away for him and no one else would see it.
Only then did Lin Xu feel completely relieved.
Lin Xu stayed in the hotel that night and had a video call with Zhou Yan, but Zhou Yan did not mention this matter at all.
Lin Xu felt very happy and had already started to imagine giving Zhou Yan a surprise and what his reaction would be.
