Chapter 1 Who promised you heaven and earth, who shares your hatred for the sea and love for the sky
On September 15, 2016, the century-long marriage between Shen Group and Lin Group caused a sensation in Beijing.
But, Chen Yan ran away from the marriage!
It was not until midnight that the sound of a door opening was heard from the entrance.
Shen Yan walked in. The man was dressed in a dark-colored haute couture suit and had elegant manners. He took the cigarette box from the coffee table, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth.
"How is she?" The "she" Lin Xi was referring to was Su Wan.
Su Wan committed suicide by jumping off a building, on the day she and Shen Yan were to get married.
"Post-concussion symptoms require observation."
"Jumping from the first floor to the garden and getting a concussion is a joke!"
Chen Yanyi Zheng, "Are you looking for a quarrel with me?"
"You ran away from your marriage in public. Did you ever consider my feelings?"
"I'm tired and need to rest." Refusing to answer the question.
Lin Xi caught up with Chen Yan and went up the stairs leading to the second floor.
"You won't give me an explanation?"
"What?" Shen Yan suddenly stopped.
After taking a deep puff of the cigarette, he threw it at Lin Xi's feet.
"I've been chasing you for ten years, but I can't compare to Su Wan's fleeting romance, right?"
"Don't forget how you married me."
"Yes, Mr. Shen is right. My parents forced you to marry me."
Shen Yan's parents died young, leaving her as a young adult still a novice in the business world. She and Shen Yan were neighbors and childhood sweethearts, and her father was particularly fond of her, frequently advising her on the business side. Shen Yan also held Lin's father and mother in high regard, which is why she agreed to the marriage.
"It's good to be self-aware." He said with contempt and a hint of impatience.
But Lin Xi couldn't bear it anymore. "My Lin family is also well-known in Beijing. Where do you put my parents? Where do you put me? These... You haven't thought about it."
At the end, Lin Xi burst into tears.
Chen Yan laughed sarcastically.
Next second.
"Ring, ring, ring~~"
The phone rang.
After Chen Yan answered the phone, he hung up after saying just two words.
Said to Lin Xi: "Su Wan's condition has worsened, I'm going to the hospital."
Lin Xi hugged Shen Yan tightly, "Don't go...stay with me, okay? We can talk about it tomorrow."
Tonight was supposed to be their wedding night.
"This is a matter of life and death, Lin Xi, don't be ignorant."
Chen Yan is leaving after all!
"Chen Yan! Once you leave this door, don't ever come back to this house!"
Her response was a loud slam of the door!
Later, Chen Yan agreed to Lin Xi's words and never returned home.
She can only see her husband on the financial channel and in the hot search headlines.
Every time he appeared, he brought good news. In the past three years, he expanded his territory and rose step by step. Shen Group also became one of the top three leading enterprises in the country.
…
Now, on December 29, 2019, on the third floor of the Sophie Hotel, the Shen Group is holding its annual meeting.
Chen Yan also invited many celebrities from northern Beijing to gather together. Chen Yan was chatting and laughing with the president of the internet upstart Gu Group.
Next to Chen Yan stood a beautiful woman, she was tall and beautiful.
This person is Su Wan.
After giving Su Wan a meaningful look, President Gu said to Shen Yan, "Don't disturb President Shen and the beauty from spending time alone together."
Chen Yan raised his eyebrows and glanced at Su Wan: "Don't you want to explain?"
"Boss Gu is gone, who should Boss Shen tell me to explain this to?"
"Heh." Shen Yan laughed.
Su Wan snatched the empty wine glass from Chen Yan's hand and refilled it for him.
Then he handed it to Chen Yan, and the two of them toasted. Su Wan said, "Cheers~"
After that one drink, many more followed. Many people came to toast Chen Yan. He had always been a good drinker, able to drink a thousand glasses without getting drunk. But tonight, for some reason, he got drunk!
Not only that, he felt hot all over and pulled at his tie.
He wanted to go out for some fresh air, but when Su Wan came back with some wine for him, she found that he was gone!
…
Chen Yan walked through a long corridor and saw a familiar figure at the corner.
While she was still conscious, he strode forward, grabbed Lin Xi, and quickly took her into a guest room.
Lin Xi was in a daze throughout the whole process. She drank a lot of wine with the client while discussing the project, and then the two of them fell asleep.
Lin Xi was so fascinated by Chen Yan's kiss that she was taken in over and over again by this man.
In the second half of the night, Lin Xi woke up in confusion and fled.
On the way home, Lin Xi gradually came to his senses.
After entering the villa, Lin Xi rushed into the bathroom.
After a while, the sound of water splashing came from the bathroom, as well as a woman crying in regret.
As night turns to day, Lin Xi puts on delicate makeup but can't hide the haggardness in her eyes. The Chanel-style suit gives her a ladylike aura.
She picked up her Chanel bag and was about to go out to work.
No matter what happens, Lin Xi will not delay his work, especially at this critical moment when Lin's company is going public.
Before she could open the door, it was opened and the person who came in was Shen Yan.
Lin Xi was stunned at first, then she smiled. After not seeing him for three years, she almost forgot that she had a legal husband.
She ignored him and went straight past him to go to work. But Chen Yan grabbed her arm.
"I have something to ask you."
"What's the matter? Tell me."
Lin Xi's indifferent attitude made Shen Yan unconsciously let go of her hand. The two of them had to communicate face to face. Shen Yan stared into Lin Xi's eyes and frowned: "Are you crying?"
Lin Xi glared at Chen Yan in anger, feeling as if she had been caught in an affair. However, a flash of guilt crossed Lin Xi's mind. She had been a widow for three years for him, while he was having a happy life outside. Could it be that the officials were allowed to set fires but the people were not allowed to light lamps?
"That's all? Nothing else important? Well, you stay at home. I'm going to the company."
"Lin Xi!"
Shen Yan's tone became heavier.
Lin Xi stopped turning around and left, waiting for his next words.
"What were you doing last night?"
"Why are you asking these questions? It's been three years, Chen Yan! Three whole years. You've never been back to this house! Why are you curious about last night? You should be curious about the days and nights of the past three years."
"No." Shen Yan whispered.
Lin Xi was still a virgin. Rather than calling her Lin Xi, it was more like the woman from last night. He wasn't sure if that woman was Lin Xi, so he came early in the morning to confirm.
"You went to the Sophie Hotel, didn't you?"
"No."
After Lin Xi flatly denied it, he became absent-minded.
"What are you thinking about? Huh?" Chen Yan stared at Lin Xi gloomily.
He began to press forward step by step, and Lin Xi retreated step by step with a guilty conscience.
When there was no way to retreat, Lin Xi looked at Chen Yan and asked, "What was Mr. Chen doing last night? With Su Wan? Oh, I guessed right."
"Shh~"
I am tired of laughing, it's ironic.
"Since it's not you, Lin Xi, then everything has nothing to do with you. Don't forget, you and I are just a couple in name only. It's enough for me to be your wife, Mrs. Shen, and don't ask any more questions."
After saying that, he left, he left again!
Lin Xi stood there, her heart was in turmoil, and she even wanted to roar, Chen Yan, you are so unlucky, why should you go home? Just die outside for the rest of your life!
But the surface is as calm as water.
After a long time, Lin Xi laughed sarcastically. She felt that this marriage would drive her crazy sooner or later!
