Chapter 853: Innocent Landlord and Pretty Tenant (14)
The dinner was held in a private room of a hotel. Everyone sat around the round table. The most popular guests were Lin Yingying and the young man next to her.
Lin Chen'an was indeed handsome, and he looked even better in person than in the photos that everyone had searched online. However, he seemed a little cold and not a talkative person. He always exuded a hint of aloofness.
In order to liven up the atmosphere, the organizer of the dinner deliberately joked: "I heard that Mr. Lin doesn't have a girlfriend yet. There are so many beautiful girls here, but none of them have boyfriends yet. It just so happens that Yingying has a good relationship with everyone, so it's better to keep the wealth within the family."
Lin Chen'an did not respond, so Lin Yingying quickly said: "Yes, it's time for brother to find a girlfriend."
Lin Chen'an finally Finally he reacted, frowned slightly, and looked at Lin Yingying beside him, "Do you think I should find a girlfriend?"
Lin Yingying didn't know why, but when Lin Chenan looked at her like that, the subtle emotion in her heart gradually expanded, but she quickly changed her mind and thought that as long as Lin Chenan had a girlfriend, he would not have so much time to bully her, so she should hope that Lin Chenan would fall in love sooner.
"You are already this old, of course you should find a girlfriend and fall in love." Lin Yingying suppressed the strange emotions in her heart, hummed softly, and said: "It will save my parents from nagging you every day about when you will get married."
Lin Chen'an is a cold and indifferent person. As an e-sports player, he can restrain the urge to curse even if he encounters a mentally retarded teammate, but now seeing Lin Yingying's indifference, there is a fire burning in his heart, and the anger in his eyes can't be hidden.
"Okay, then I'll find a girlfriend." Lin Chen'an laughed angrily and looked at the circle of people sitting opposite. Due to professional reasons, there are more girls than boys sitting here.
Many people cast their interested eyes on Lin Chen'an. The girl who never joined in the fun and only focused on eating caught Lin Chen'an's attention.
He casually said, "Miss, would you like to add me as a friend?"
Lin Yingying's face changed.
Everyone looked at the person who was eating seriously.
Bai Yao had just swallowed a piece of beef. Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she took the napkin and wiped her mouth. "Not interested."
Lin Yingying's tightly wrinkled brows were almost knotted.
The originally lively atmosphere became stagnant. Many people knew that Bai Yao, the maverick young lady, did not have a good relationship with Lin Yingying, who was as popular as the sun.
Bai Yao ruthlessly rejected Lin Chen'an in front of so many people. It can be said that she did not give him face at all and embarrassed him.
Lin Yingying was so angry that she pulled Lin Chen'an's hand and said, "Bai Yao has very high requirements for finding friends. Brother, ordinary people like us should not disturb her."
Lin Chen'an has always been particularly concerned about Lin Yingying's affairs. He has "bullied" Lin Yingying for so many years. As soon as Lin Yingying's expression changes, he knows what she is thinking.
Looking at Bai Yao again, Lin Chen'an's eyes have already been scrutinized. This is a very strong girl, and Yingying is soft and obedient. Has she been bullied by Bai Yao before?
Bai Yao stood up with her bag, "Sorry, I have to go back, my boyfriend is waiting for me."
The people around were surprised, Lin Yingying asked directly: "Do you have a boyfriend?"
Bai Yao smiled, "Yes."
The people who were making fun of her said: "Bai Yao, you are hiding it very well, when will you bring your boyfriend out for us to see?"
"We'll talk about it when we have the chance." Bai Yao's gaze moved back and forth between Lin Chen'an and Lin Yingying, then she smiled meaningfully and said, "You two have a really good relationship as siblings. You're so old and still holding hands. By the way, I remember that you seemed to be siblings with no blood relationship, right?"
Bai Yao sighed, "Wow, I'm so envious. Other people's relationships between siblings may not be as good as yours."
The others all looked at the hands of the young man and woman holding together. No one said much, they just retracted their gazes, some picked up their dishes, and some drank their drinks.
Lin Chen'an's eyes revealed a bit of gloom, "Yingying and I grew up together, so what if we have a good relationship?"
Lin Yingying felt that the hand she held with Lin Chen'an seemed to be hot, she quickly let go of her hand, blushing and retorting, "My brother and I have a bad relationship!"
Many times, when the relationship between people is slightly exposed, bystanders will unconsciously be guided to look at the problem. The girls who used to look at Lin Chen'an with eager eyes all retracted their eyes.
But adults are all about decency, and even if there is a problem, they will not say it out completely.
Lin Yingying and Lin Chen'an have no blood relationship, but they used to have such a good relationship. Lin Yingying had always said that she wanted to find a beautiful girlfriend for her brother...
Lin Yingying was sensitive to the change in the atmosphere. She was anxious and annoyed, and she felt an indescribable shame, which made her eyes red.
Seeing her tearful look, the attitudes of others changed immediately.
"Oh, Yingying, don't cry."
"We ordered a lot of your favorite dishes today, you should enjoy the food happily."
"Yes, don't let others' words ruin your mood."
"Seeing Yingying crying, my heart is broken."
"Bai Yao, you too, why are you making the atmosphere so tense?"
Bai Yao raised his eyebrows. This group of people seemed quite normal before, but now they look crazy, right?
No, think about it carefully, every time Lin Yingying smiles or cries, the emotions of the people around her will change, as if they are Lin Yingying's loyal believers.
Is this personal charm?
Lin Chen'an stood up, his aura was strong and dangerous. He said in a low voice, "Bai Yao..."
He hadn't finished his words about seeking justice for Lin Yingying, but Bai Yao seemed to be unable to sense his domineering aura and walked straight out of the box, completely ignoring him.
Lin Chen'an's face darkened.
Lin Yingying was still feeling aggrieved. She heard the implication of Bai Yao's words. Wasn't it that she was being both a powerful person and entangled with her brother? But she and her brother were innocent, and Bai Yao was completely insulting her!
Lin Chen'an held Lin Yingying's hand and coaxed her softly, "Yingying, don't be angry, I will teach her a lesson."
Lin Yingying raised her tearful face, with a bewildered look, and her snow-white face was soft and lovable.
Lin Chen'an was a computer expert, and it was easy for him to hack into a person's electronic devices. But for modern people, aren't all their secrets stored in a small mobile phone?
Lin Chenan sneered in his heart, "Dare to make Yingying cry, Bai Yao, this is definitely the biggest mistake in your life."
Bai Yao rode her electric car back to the old alley. Anzi was still playing marbles here. When he got Bai Yao's crushed ice, he grinned happily and laughed out loud, "Sister Bai, remember to bring me crushed ice!"
"Of course, I will do what I promised you."
The boy blinked, and his innocent eyes gradually showed indescribable fluctuations. He took a step forward and grabbed the corner of her skirt, "Sister."
Bai Yao smiled and responded, "Yeah."
The seven-year-old boy held the broken ice in one hand, his eyes were dark and bright, and the curve of his lips expanded strangely and beyond common sense, "Will you fall in love with me, okay?"
Bai Yao was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud, "An Zi, I have a boyfriend."
An Zi said, "I know, he is your boyfriend in the building, and I can be your boyfriend outside the building."
Bai Yao stared at him for a while, reached out and touched the child's head, "You are still young, it's too early for you to fall in love, go play marbles."
She hurried home, coaxed the child a few words and left.
Anzi watched Bai Yao's back disappear into the depths of the alley, his lips tightened, the broken ice in his hands creaked, echoing in the dark alley, extremely noisy.
As usual, Bai Yao walked into the building, greeted Zhou Zheng first, and the moment she entered the elevator, a white figure slipped in from the gap.
"Yaoyao..." Li Gui still squatted on the ground with a strong sense of stealth, moved towards her, just hugged her calf, and instantly took a step back as if he had been electrocuted.
The young man was on his hands and knees, sticking to the corner of the iron box, his body tensed, his long silver hair flying, his white clothes fluttering, he was grinning in the direction of Bai Yao, his eyes red with irritability, his sharp teeth made a hissing sound like a threat, as if he wanted to bite something disgusting to pieces.
Of course, his disgust was not directed at her.
"Are you coming back?" Bai Yao took a step closer.
His fingers scratched the carpet into wrinkles, and he became even more anxious.
The young man circled Bai Yao, as if he was trying to find something disgusting that was hidden.
Bai Yao remembered something and took out the talisman that Huang Yueguang gave her from her bag.
Li Gui gnashed his teeth, and the hoarse roar that came out of his throat became more and more piercing.
Bai Yao tentatively put the talisman paper into her bag, and then threw the bag into the farthest corner. The next second, the boy rushed over and held her tightly in his arms.
