Chapter 99: Walking into a Trap
Zhou Yan's assistant did not drink and was responsible for driving.
Zhou Yan didn't drink much, and with the hangover medicine Lin Xu had prepared in advance, he was completely sober after driving back from the coast.
It's already past one in the morning.
Zhou Yan took a shower quietly, then lifted the quilt and lay down next to Lin Xu.
Lin Xu had already fallen asleep, lying on his side, his arm resting on his head, his body curled up in the quilt.
He shouldn't have woken him up, but Zhou Yan couldn't help but want to hold him in his arms and sleep.
After looking at Lin Xu quietly for a while, Zhou Yan leaned over and pecked him lightly on the lips.
Lin Xu's eyelashes moved, but he didn't wake up.
Zhou Yan chuckled silently and leaned over again, this time kissing her a little deeper.
Lin Xu was having trouble breathing, and his eyes were half-open, seeming to be half awake.
Subconsciously, she put her arms around Zhou Yan's neck and raised her head to kiss him back.
Zhou Yan took advantage of this opportunity to take him into his arms and let him rest his head on his arm.
Familiar taste, familiar touch.
Lin Xu hugged Zhou Yan comfortably, put his legs on Zhou Yan's legs, smacked his lips in satisfaction, and continued to sleep.
Zhou Yan got what he wanted and fell asleep peacefully.
The next morning, Lin Xu was surprised when he woke up and found himself sleeping in Zhou Yan's arms.
"What time did you get back last night?"
Zhou Yan rubbed his hair: "It's past one o'clock."
Lin Xu remembered what Zhou Yan said on the phone yesterday, and asked shyly and excitedly, "Did you really rush back in the middle of the night because you missed me?"
Zhou Yan nodded: "Of course it's true."
Lin Xu chuckled and took the initiative to move forward and kiss Zhou Yan on the corner of his lips.
Men, especially those in their prime, are prone to daydreaming in the morning.
Zhou Yan hugged Lin Xu, his hands sliding from his back to his waist, and then down along his curve.
The fabric of the pajamas is silky and smooth, and Zhou Yan can't put it down.
Lin Xu was ticklish and kept snuggling into Zhou Yan's arms.
Walk into a trap.
"No, I'll be late for work—"
Lin Xu resisted symbolically for a few times before being subdued.
Lin Xu looked at the ceiling with tears in his eyes, grabbing Zhou Yan's hair with one hand and pulling the bed sheet beside him with the other.
Zhou Yan finished what he wanted to do last night and felt satisfied.
He even got dressed when he got up to brush his teeth.
Only Lin Xu was in a disheveled state.
Lin Xu was embarrassed and angry, and didn't speak to him all the way downstairs to the parking lot.
After getting in the car, Lin Xu found that the seat was not in his usual angle and position, so he adjusted it.
Then I smelled a familiar perfume on the backrest.
How else can this be explained by the seat adjustment? It could be that an assistant or someone else took Zhou Yan's car.
But the smell of this perfume is too concerning.
The last time Lin Xu smelled this smell, Zhou Yan said he had just met a client.
So he went on a business trip yesterday, and was he with that client?
Lin Xu frowned and thought.
Zhou Yan thought he was angry about his insistence on annoying him this morning, so he pinched his chin and turned his face away: "Did I not serve you well? Why are you so upset?"
Lin Xu slapped his hand away and asked, "Who did you go on the business trip with yesterday?"
"The assistant, and also—the client and the other party's designer."
"Female customer?" Lin Xu frowned.
When Lin Xu asked this, Zhou Yan realized that he must have discovered something, most likely the smell of perfume in the car.
Zhou Yan raised the corner of his lips: "Are you jealous?"
Lin Xu was exposed and gave up. "Of course. What kind of client? How old? Is he good-looking?"
Zhou Yan's heart trembled when he was asked.
Lin Xu was jealous of him, so of course he was happy.
But it was just a little bit of perfume smell, and Lin Xu had such a big reaction. If I told him that it was his ex-girlfriend, I'm afraid Lin Xu really wouldn't be able to stand it.
Zhou Yan subconsciously chose to avoid this risk.
"It's the client. Don't let your imagination run wild. Doesn't he know who I'm thinking about?"
Thinking back to what happened in the morning, Lin Xu's face turned red instantly.
It’s not that he doesn’t trust Zhou Yan.
What kind of evil intentions could a man have who always reports to you, takes care of you in every possible way, never stays out, and rushes home late at night?
But Lin Xu felt a sense of crisis.
Zhou Yan is different from himself. He is afraid that Zhou Yan will one day yearn for a normal marriage and children, which he cannot give her.
He was very scared.
Zhou Yan felt distressed when he saw Lin Xu's sudden drop in mood.
We must never meet Wen Jinyu again.
After helping out this time, he can feel at peace with himself.
When he arrived at the company, the first thing Zhou Yan did was to ask his secretary to wash the car, cleaning it inside and out, and making sure there was no trace of odor.
In the morning, Zhou Yan received a call from Wu Jing.
She yelled at him straight away.
"Are you going too far? You're still telling me what a friend is, when she's clearly your ex-girlfriend! Zhou Yan, you're really capable of asking your former blind date to take care of your ex-girlfriend. Only you could do such a thing! I spent most of the night listening to her talk about your love history. How are you going to compensate me for this emotional loss?"
Zhou Yan held the phone away and waited for her to finish before saying, "She has strong business and learning abilities, and her character is also guaranteed. With such a ready-made partner, what do you expect me to pay for?"
Wu Jing suddenly laughed: "She said you have a 'girlfriend'? I guess it's Lin Xu, right?"
Zhou Yan didn't reply.
Zhou Yan acquiesced, and Wu Jing continued, "If Lin Xu knew you were still in contact with your ex-girlfriend and that you were helping her negotiate business, do you think he would be sad?"
Wu Jing is now the only person who knows about this matter and accurately uses Lin Xu to control his lifeblood.
Zhou Yan sighed: "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
"Please introduce me to Mr. Chen from Shengfei." Wu Jing directly stated her purpose.
Zhou Yan laughed angrily: "You really don't want to suffer any loss. Mr. Chen from Shengfei is not that easy to make an appointment with."
"Okay, I don't need to look for you. I know you know him. In one sentence, will you help me?"
She has threatened Lin Xu, how can Zhou Yan not help?
"Okay, but I'm only responsible for the introduction. I can't help you with whether the deal is successful or not."
"I know. Thanks. I didn't expect you to agree so readily. It seems you and your boyfriend are getting along really well."
Zhou Yan still didn't respond. Wu Jing could use this incident to ask for his help today, and who knows what else she might need next time. It wouldn't be wise to let her know too much about him and Lin Xu.
It seems that it is necessary to confess to Lin Xu. If I hear it from others in the future, I will not be able to explain it clearly.
After the two hung up the phone, Wu Jing walked into the room from the balcony and woke up Wen Jinyu who was lying on the big bed.
"Wake up, it's time to go back today."
Wen Jinyu sat up from the bed and asked, "Did Zhou Yan go back?"
Wu Jing threw her a wet towel and said, "Wake up, wipe your face. There's no chance for you and Zhou Yan. Can't you see? He doesn't like people like us. He's a bit of a chauvinist. He likes people who need his care, the kind of people who hang their hearts on him and cry at the slightest provocation."
Wen Jinyu covered her swollen and painful eyes with a towel: "I..."
"What do you mean? People often like those who complement them. It's hard not to fall for someone who has something they don't have. And Zhou Yan and I are the same kind of people."
Seeing that Wen Jinyu was still a little unwilling, Wu Jing patted her on the back and said, "Sister, you are right. You two are just not suitable for each other. Don't worry about it. Get up. Let's go back and make money."
