Chapter 30 Nightmare
"Why is the gift so expensive?"
"That's right! My best friend got what she wanted, and I'm happier than anyone else."
"Really?" Lin Xi forced a smile.
"yes!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two waiters walked in.
The food is served.
Lin Xi picked up the knife and fork and started cutting the steak.
Xuedan chewed the beef, "Hmm~! It still tastes like my childhood."
Lin Xi nodded slightly and began to chew slowly.
"When I think about how you and Shen Yan have been married for so many years, I'm still Peony. My parents are really good at naming."
Lin Xi wanted to laugh for some reason, but she held it back.
"You've been married for so long, aren't you planning on having kids?"
Lin Xi shook her head, "No,
Sometimes early marriage is not a good thing, and I already regret it."
"Oh my! Is this really what Lin Xi said? Regret it?! I can't believe my ears."
"Right."
Lin Xi took the goblet and drank the red wine in it.
"You married for love, what are you regretting?"
"Well... maybe, marriage is the grave of love."
Lin Xi still couldn't say in person that both she and Shen Yan had cheated on her.
"Oh my!" Xuedan couldn't believe her ears again. "Xixi, if you knew you would marry Chen Yan ten years ago, you would probably be overjoyed. Now you really don't cherish it anymore."
"Okay, okay, let's end this topic, shall we?"
"Okay, okay, okay."
Xuedan picked up some shrimp for Lin Xi, "Here, eat more. You used to be chubby, but now you're slim, with a face the size of a palm."
"Thank you."
…
In the afternoon, Xuedan and Lin Xi returned to the Lin Mansion together.
When Xuedan saw Lin's mother, she was very enthusiastic.
"Auntie! Long time no see. You are still so young and beautiful."
"Oh, you're a grown-up girl now. They say girls change a lot when they grow up, and it's true."
"Hehe." Xuedan laughed.
"Stay here for dinner."
"No, no, Xixi and I just finished eating. I'm trying to lose weight recently, so I won't be eating dinner."
"Xuedan, let's go upstairs." Lin Xi said.
"Well, you guys go up. Xixi, I'll ask Aunt Wang to go back and take care of you and Shen Yan."
Lin Xi hasn't told her mother yet that they are going to get a divorce tomorrow.
"Um."
Lin Xi responded softly.
There is no need for Aunt Wang to take care of us anymore. She is here today to get her marriage certificate and ID card.
An hour later, Lin Xi's car drove into the suburban villa.
If you calculate it this way, I haven't been back for a month or two.
There was a thick layer of dead leaves in the yard.
Xuedan looked around, "Is this your and Shen Yan's home? Well, the villa is very big, and the courtyard is beautifully decorated. It's a pity that it's so deserted."
Where is this?
Whose "home" has only one woman and one servant? Whose husband never comes home day or night?
This is not home.
"It's very quiet. Fortunately, I'm about to escape from the cold palace."
"Hahahahahahahahaha. Die laughing."
"Are you a concubine in the cold palace? Could it be that Chen Yan is the emperor? No, no, no, you are not a concubine, you are the empress."
Lin Xi: Then who are the concubines? Su Wan and Qin Ran?
The door of the villa was opened and everything in the room looked as good as new.
"Wow! The decoration is so beautiful."
The floor is white marble, as are the walls.
The stairs leading to the second floor are made of glass.
Anyway, Lin Xi heard at the time that Shen Yanguang spent 100 million to buy this area, and renovated the villa and courtyard himself.
"Now that I think about it, he's so generous, yet he's only been home a few times. It's clear that Shen Yan is a very generous person."
The same goes for Su Wan.
Just gave him a golden rice bowl.
"Why doesn't Chen Yan live at home? If he doesn't live at home, where will he live?"
"Hmm," Lin Xi finally reacted. Why were they saying this?
Xuedan didn't ask any more questions.
There must be something fishy going on between her and Shen Yan.
It seems that Lin Xi has not necessarily lived a happy life over the years.
The next day.
Lin Xi arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau first and called Chen Yan while sitting in the car.
"Hello, the number you dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again later."
Lin Xi was forced to hang up.
Looking at the pigeon egg diamond wedding ring on the ring finger, I was stunned.
I vaguely remember that at the century wedding in 2016, Chen Yan had just put the wedding ring on her finger when the news of Su Wan's suicide came.
Chen Yan was about to leave at that moment, but she grabbed his sleeve with a pleading look in her eyes.
But he just said, "Wait for me."
But he knew that she had waited for this wedding for ten years. After their marriage, they also responded to the saying, "Wait for me"
"Chen Yan, I have waited for you for fourteen years. When will it be over?"
Lin Xi started the car.
When passing by the lake, he threw the ring out of the car window.
…
…
When he returned to Lin's in the afternoon, there were a lot of projects and a lot of emails that needed to be dealt with one by one by Lin Xi.
There is another one-hour meeting in the evening.
After finishing all this, Lin Xi looked at the screen of his mobile phone.
What a surprise! It’s not even ten o’clock yet.
She hasn't eaten yet.
Getting ready to meet up with night owl, Xuedan.
Xuedan answered the phone and the DJ music on the other end was deafening.
Lin Xi asked: "In the bar?"
"Yes. Miss, what do you want to talk to me about?" Xuedan found a quiet place.
"Dinner date, coming?"
"Come on! Let's go to Xiaoshanhe!" Xuedan.
After saying that, he hung up.
Lin Xi repeated silently, "Xiao Shanhe, Xiao Shanhe, Gu Qingheng."
An hour later, Lin Xi's car arrived at Xiaoshanhe Japanese restaurant.
Follow the waiter upstairs to the private room reserved by Xuedan.
The waiter helped to open the door and Lin Xi walked in. Xuedan was playing with her cell phone with her eyes lowered.
Knowing that Lin Xi was coming, he slowly raised his head.
“This is my first time here. I heard it’s delicious.”
"Hmm." Lin Xi hesitated, "Not bad."
Take off your high heels and reveal your white feet.
Sitting opposite Xuedan.
"Have you eaten it? Who did you come with?" Xuedan's beautiful eyes were filled with cunning.
"Yeah, partner."
"Oh. Is he a boy?"
"yes."
Xuedan is Lin Xi's best friend and she doesn't care too much in front of her good friend.
The door of the private room was opened again, and the waiter began to serve Japanese food.
"Oh. So that's how it is." Xuedan smiled mischievously.
"Don't overthink it. How could he be the same as Shen Yan...?"
"What? The same as Shen Yan. Oh. So Shen Yan also suspected that you two were having an affair!"
"ah?"
Lin Xi was drinking tea and almost choked.
“Cough cough cough…”
Xuedan was anxious, "Xixi, are you okay?"
"If you want me to die, just say so."
"That's absolutely not what I meant. But you and that friend are quite interesting."
*
Lin Xi swore that she and Gu Qingheng were innocent.
Doesn’t Chen Yan want to get a divorce?
Well, she learned from him, surpassed him, and finally got rid of him.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Lin Xi came to the company.
Go into the office and call Wang Xiao on the landline.
Five minutes later, Wang Xiao knocked on the office door.
He walked in and asked, "Director, are you looking for me?"
"Didn't Mr. Gu have an appointment a few days ago? I turned it down. Now let's make a new one."
"Oh, okay."
"I heard Linda is recovering well. Please send me the cost of her hospitalization via email and the company will cover it."
"Okay, Director."
"Yeah, go get busy."
After Wang Xiao left, Lin Xi turned on the computer.
Then, she took out powder and lipstick from her bag.
I lightly touched up my makeup.
Go get yourself another cup of hot water.
Then start the day's work.
Two meetings were held starting in the afternoon.
Lin Xi was distracted during the meeting, wondering if he had too many projects under his charge.
But you can also take a look at how good this year's year-end bonus and dividends are.
She is going to buy a house and move out of her villa in the suburbs.
Chen Yan has a home outside, so why should she guard "their" home alone?
After the last meeting, everyone dispersed.
Lin Xi returned to the office, and Wang Xiao came in a little later.
"Mr. Gu said he wants to treat you to a meal."
Lin Xi raised her eyebrows.
"good."
Ten o'clock.
Lin Xi's car was parked at Xiaoshanhe Japanese restaurant.
Go directly to Gu Qingheng's box.
This time the box was very large. When the door was opened, a woman in a kimono and a man in casual clothes were sitting inside.
Also, Gu Qingheng, who I haven’t seen for a long time.
The collar of the other person's shirt was slightly open, his handsome face exuded gentleness, and he spoke fluent Japanese with the woman in Japanese clothes.
Lin Xi couldn't help but keep her gaze on the woman for a few seconds. She had a melon-shaped face and delicate makeup.
Every move is shy and timid.
"Qingheng, is this your girlfriend?"
The man in casual clothes is the founder of Xiaoshanhe.
The woman in kimono frowned visibly, and her eyes gradually darkened as she looked at Lin Xi.
Lin Xi wanted to explain immediately.
Gu Qingheng said first: "Since you are here, let's order some food, Xixi."
"Hmm."
There was no time to explain, Jiaming took Miss Suzuki away.
Lin Xi stared at Gu Qingheng with resentment, and her high heels swayed slightly, revealing her delicate feet.
Lin Xi knelt in front of Gu Qingheng and said angrily, "Why don't you explain? Instead, you're adding fuel to the fire."
"What's there to explain? Aren't we innocent? The innocent will be cleared."
"Hmm. Everyone knows that I am Mrs. Shen, how come your friend Jia Ming doesn't know?"
"He doesn't live in northern Beijing for long. He certainly doesn't mingle with the upper crust of the city. He came back today to cook Japanese food for us."
"Hmm." Lin Xi said meaningfully.
You can order food electronically, Lin Xi took the tablet computer that was placed there.
Two servings of eel rice, two servings of caviar, two servings of yakitori, and one serving of wagyu hot pot.
"Where did you go?" Gu Qingheng asked.
"I went to Country F and visited the harbor area. Victoria Harbour is very beautiful."
"oh.
So, this is why you refused to meet?"
Lin Xiwei Zheng.
Of course not, the most important reason is boredom.
After a moment, she fell in love with Chen Yan again.
So, take his thoughts into consideration.
"Are you blaming me?"
"How dare I? I am insignificant and my words carry no weight. I am just a partner." Gu Qingheng said sarcastically.
"Tsk~ Mr. Gu, in our Lin's, customers are supreme. Customers are God."
"Partner, partner. Not a customer, right?" Gu Qingheng said modestly.
"Okay, okay. To make it up to Mr. Gu, feel free to ask me out for dinner next time."
"Tsk tsk tsk, I'm afraid of being turned away."
"Hahahahahahaha." Lin Xi really couldn't help it.
The man looked at the woman opposite him who was laughing happily, picked up the fork with an expressionless face, and started eating the vegetables before dinner.
Lin Xi had smiled enough, her face flushed slightly, making her look even more attractive.
"Boss Gu, you, you, you. Everyone laughs at you, but you are the funniest."
Gu Qingheng raised an eyebrow, "Oh?"
"You don't understand, this is internet slang."
"I don't understand the stuff you young people have."
"Mr. Gu, you're not old. With your looks and financial resources, if you were in the dating market, girls would line up all the way to Country F."
"So what do you think, am I worthy of you?"
Lin Xi smiled wryly, "Do you like married women?"
“I don’t like second-hand goods.”
Lin Xi: ...
Gu Qingheng froze the topic.
Gu Qingheng beat the sterilized eggs as usual and handed the first piece of Wagyu beef to Lin Xi.
Lin Xi ate what he fed her.
Why didn’t I notice this before? This action is a bit ambiguous.
"Eat more, you're losing weight."
"You're the second person to say that."
"Who is the first one? It can't be your unattainable husband, Mr. Shen, right?" Gu Qingheng was curious.
Lin Xi thought of Xuedan.
He shook his head, "No."
"Oh."
Halfway through the meal, Lin Xi was intoxicated by the aroma of roasted bird.
I drank a few more glasses of wine because I was greedy.
After finishing the meal, he stood up, staggered, and fell into Gu Mingqingheng's arms.
Lin Xi whimpered like a kitten.
A woman's body is like a piece of warm, fragrant and soft jade, which makes people love it.
Gu Qingheng kissed her forehead gently.
His eyes fell on her red lips.
She was a little tipsy, but not completely drunk.
When he came to his senses, he broke free from Gu Qingheng's arms.
Look at him in disbelief.
He didn't explain anything.
Unfortunately, he came without spring.
There is already a man living in Chuntian, and Lin Xi is taken.
The order of love may also be particularly important.
When Wang Xiao was driving, he felt the air pressure in the car was very low.
Looking through the rearview mirror, I saw that the boss was beautiful and looked thoughtful.
"Director, can I ask you a question?"
"Well, go ahead."
"Why does love always depend on conscience in the end? Why does love always end in infidelity?"
Lin Xi seemed to be called out.
"I don't know either." Lin Xi said dejectedly.
She really didn't know because her marriage was also a mess.
"I discovered that my boyfriend, whom I've been dating since college, went on a blind date with another girl behind my back. Even though he explained that his parents forced him to do so, I don't believe him anymore."
Lin Xi listened with his left ear and let it in with his right ear.
When it comes to marriage, she feels a little weary.
She closed her eyes and let the evening breeze pass by.
How can I give advice to others when my own marriage has failed?
Only successful people share advice. And she? A complete loser.
That night, she had a dream.
Dreaming of someone caressing her and kissing her.
It felt familiar like that night, and the terrible, haunting nightmare came again.
Lin Xi thought so when she was half asleep.
When Lin Xi woke up the next day, her whole body ached.
I was surprised to find that she was not wearing any underwear!
While taking a shower, I found kiss marks on my abdomen, which looked very much like the marks left by mosquito bites.
However, if you think about it, you will know that it was Wang Xiao who sent her home, and now the house is empty.
Unless...
Chen Yan came back.
But soon, Lin Xi ruled out this possibility.
