Chapter 46 Shadow
The night is starry and the breeze is cool.
Lin Xi wore a blue Chanel suit, beige high heels, and a handbag.
She is tall, elegant and intellectual.
Enter the password lock, open the door, and walk into the villa's living room.
Aunt Wang was preparing dinner. Lin Xi glanced at her and went straight upstairs.
Go back to the room and turn on the computer.
She unbuttoned her clothes, put on her casual dress, and went to the bathroom.
The rushing water drowned out Chen Yan's footsteps as he walked in.
When Lin Xi came out, Chen Yan was standing by the window smoking.
The woman raised an eyebrow.
"I came back early."
"Heh." Chen Yan smiled with an ambiguous tone.
Lin Xi was too lazy to pay attention to him and simply went downstairs to have dinner.
Chen Yan didn’t come. I hated Chen Yan just now, but now that I’m eating alone, I still miss Chen Yan.
Thinking of him makes my appetite decrease.
He put down his chopsticks and said in a muffled voice, "I'm not eating anymore."
Mother Wang cooked a table full of dishes, but she only touched each of the six dishes twice.
Lin Xi returned to the room and found that no one was in it.
I went to the study and saw Chen Yan still smoking.
Choked by the secondhand smoke, Lin Xi coughed twice and stepped forward to snatch his cigarette.
Chen Yan obediently let her snatch it away.
"Why don't you go eat?"
"I'm not going, you can't eat anymore?"
It was revealed in one word, but Shen Yan still understood her.
Lin Xi hesitated to speak, and finally said: "You don't eat, aren't you hungry?"
"Not bad." Chen Yan restrained his smile.
The man walked to the computer and prepared to work.
"Yeah." Lin Xi responded indifferently.
As she turned to leave, Shen Yan called her, "Lin Xi."
"ah?"
Lin Xi looked at him in confusion.
"Do you still like me?"
"I don't like you anymore."
"That's not what you said before."
Shen Yan walked towards Lin Xi, and Lin Xi took one step back, two steps. Then Shen Yan pressed closer and closer, and the woman retreated to the corner, with nowhere to retreat.
"Shen Yan, don't."
He grasped her slender waist and whispered seductively in her ear, "You forgot so quickly about what you said when you lost your memory that we were going to have two children, huh?"
Have a baby?
It was a bolt from the blue.
"You're talking nonsense..." he retorted weakly.
"We made a pinky promise before. You said that we would never change our promise even if we hang ourselves together for a hundred years. How come your oath sounds like a dog's bark?" Chen Yan really wanted to kill this woman.
"Don't...shenyan...don't."
He kissed her neck and said, "What do you mean by no? Please explain clearly."
Lin Xi wanted to say something but didn't dare. How could she explain this matter clearly?
"I remember it, I remember it! I remember everything!"
In fact, she has always remembered it. She probably only by telling Shen Yan this will Shen Yan let her go.
"Oh, now that I remember, it's time to fulfill my promise."
There's no escape tonight.
Lin Xi still resisted and told Shen Yan what she was thinking directly, "But, I don't want to."
It’s useless if she doesn’t think about it, it’s useful if Shen Yan doesn’t think about it.
This man is so rude and unreasonable, both in and out of bed.
He is used to being a big leader and is used to making all the decisions.
He let her go only when Lin Xi's legs were sore.
I cursed Chen Yan a hundred times in my heart, but I was still too tired and fell asleep uncontrollably after a while.
The next day, the two had breakfast together.
Shen Yan left first because he started work earlier than her.
Lin Xi put on some makeup and went out.
When I drove past a pharmacy, I hesitated but finally got out of the car and bought some medicine.
Having failed to keep the child twice, Lin Xi can no longer bear the blow of losing her child.
Just be quiet for a year or two.
***
Gu Qingheng had an appointment, and as soon as he returned to the office, Linda came to talk.
The two of them met and made plans for dinner.
This dining partner is better than Chen Yan. For some reason, Lin Xi also likes to eat with Gu Qingheng.
Xiaoshanhe Japanese food restaurant.
It’s not bad to eat Wagyu Sukiyaki once in a while.
Gu Qingheng looked at Lin Xi.
She was staring at him, her hair standing on end. "What's wrong, Mr. Gu?"
"No. Every time I see you, it's a surprise."
"Oh. Do I surprise you like this?"
"Right."
Lin Xi lowered her eyes and smiled.
Gu Qingheng beat the sterilized eggs.
I will also pick up her favorite food.
"I'm curious why Director Lin got married so early?" Gu Qingheng said in a faint voice.
"Wouldn't it be better to get married soon? That would solve another important life issue."
Everyone knows that it is a business marriage.
But an only child like Lin Xi can have her own right to choose.
If she didn't want to marry Chen Yan, who could force her?
"It seems that you truly love Mr. Shen. This is the first time in my life that I've seen a couple truly in love. Well, it's so rare." Gu Qingheng said sarcastically.
Lin Xi can even laugh at her own jokes.
"Why don't you have children for so many years?"
How could Lin Xi say that she failed to keep her pregnancy twice?
"I haven't thought about being together forever, so why would I need a burden?"
"Tsk. If Mr. Shen heard this, he would be very sad."
In fact, Gu Qingheng felt that Chen Yan was not worthy of Lin Xi.
Divorce him as soon as possible, and then pursue Lin Xi.
"Okay, why do you always mention my husband? Are you so interested in him?"
"No, no, no, I'm interested in both of you."
"oh."
The next two people stopped talking about Chen Yan.
It’s still AA, Lin Xi insisted.
Gu Qingheng had no choice but to respect it.
On the way home, Lin Xi was still thinking about what she had asked Gu Qingheng, "What are we? Dining companions, friends? Or is it something ambiguous?"
Gu Qingheng replied, "Friends. We can also be dinner companions."
His serious reply made Lin Xi feel less guilty.
I got home a little late today, it was already eleven o'clock.
She saw Chen Yan's car in the yard and walked into the living room with light steps.
When he found that there was no Shen Yan in the living room, he breathed a sigh of relief.
The lights upstairs were out.
After pushing the door open with peace of mind, he almost cried out in surprise.
Chen Yan was playing Gobang alone, even though the room was dimly lit.
The atmosphere around him was extremely suffocating.
"Are you willing to come back?"
Lin Xi stood there and nodded gently: "Yeah."
"Don't dare come in?"
"without……"
He added forcefully, "Are you afraid I'll eat you?"
After hearing this, Lin Xi fell silent.
The next moment, he was dragged in by Chen Yan and thrown onto the bed.
An hour later, Lin Xi lay beside Shen Yan with a dead heart.
The next morning, the two of them had breakfast face to face as usual.
Every glance he gave Chen Yan was displeasing.
I was busy again this morning, and to be honest I feel a little tired now.
After arriving at the company, Lin Xi made herself a cup of brown sugar water.
I cursed in my heart: Bastard, bastard, bastard.
Next is a day of meetings and then work on the project in the evening.
She reached another cooperation with Gu Qingheng, but this time it was not her who came to negotiate, but the senior management of Lin Group.
They are investors and have invested in shares. The Gu family wants to purchase an entire village in a sparsely populated mountain village and build a high-rise building there.
Originally, this village was close to northern Beijing. When the time comes, we only need to build a road to connect the city and the village.
I don’t know who Gu Qingheng is implying. The Qin family failed in real estate, but how come Gu Qingheng can make money and the project is invested by the Lin family.
Land is very expensive in northern Beijing, and even outside the Fifth Ring Road, many people are still scrambling to buy properties.
To acquire the village, one only needs to appease the villagers and buy it at a price higher than the market price plus the subsidy given by the Gu family.
When it comes to building buildings, Gu already has its own construction team and workers.
It depends on whether this place can be sold in the future.
It was late at night and Lin Xi returned home exhausted.
My body was sticky in the summer, so I took a cold shower.
Wake yourself up.
Chen Yan came home even later than her.
Do all men only need ten minutes to shower?
…
After turning off the lights, Chen Yan put his arm around Lin Xi's waist.
The woman's heart skipped a beat.
He's obviously tired after a day's work, so where does all this interest come from?!
Later on, they came every morning and every evening.
Lin Xi then realized that Shen Yan was angry.
Lin Xi felt both pain and happiness as he worked so hard to adjust.
It happened before, but not as frequently as it is now.
Chen Yan really understood Lin Xi.
She floated up to the clouds and then fell into a coma.
He was really "torturing" her.
There are still two days before the business trip. Although the work has been completed, Lin Xi sits in the office chair and doesn't want to leave.
Whenever I think about what happened this morning, my heart starts beating faster and my face turns red.
If you don't have a job, look for one. There is no end to the work for Lin.
Save yourself from random thoughts when you have free time.
But she had to go home later, until one in the morning.
She fell on the sofa alone, and felt like she was falling asleep at that moment.
The next morning, Lin Xi woke up and found herself already in bed.
The clothes on his body are intact.
Lin Xi muttered in a daze, "Chen Yan, you still have a little conscience."
After going downstairs, Lin Xi asked Wang Ma: "Where is Mr. Shen?"
"The gentleman has gone to work."
"Where's my Xiaofu?"
"Xiao Fu is sleeping in the nest, ma'am."
Lin Xi wanted to go see Xiao Fu. She had been too busy recently, going out early and coming back late, and had not paid attention to the little girl for a long time.
The little guy has his own room. This villa is so big. There are three bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, a utility room, a toilet and a bathroom on the first floor.
There are six rooms on the second floor.
Xiao Fu woke up when she heard footsteps and opened her mouth: "Meow~"
Lin Xi held the furry Xiaofu in her arms and found that Xiaofu had grown a little.
He was talking to Xiao Fu, "Master is going on a business trip for half a month. You have to stay at home and behave yourself, okay?"
"Meow meow meow~" Xiao Fu gently licked Lin Xi's arm.
She's leaving this afternoon; it's not too far away, so she can drive there herself.
To be honest, driving long distances now has some psychological shadows.
Fear must always be faced in order to be defeated.
I guess Shen Yan didn’t know that she was going on a business trip. After breakfast, she returned to the room and called Shen Yan.
The cold male voice on the other end said, "Hello."
"The company has a land development project, and I'm going on a business trip for ten days to half a month."
"Where are you going?"
"Tianshui Village."
"oh."
"Yeah, remember to eat well when you are alone, go home early, and help me take care of Xiaofu."
"good."
The first night after Lin Xi left, Chen Yan felt a little irritable.
Thinking of her is not just psychological, it is also...
He went downstairs to see the cat that Lin Xi raised. Even though he didn't like small animals, he would take care of Xiao Fu, who was raised by Lin Xi.
"You and I are both alone, so just you stay with me."
He carried Xiaofu upstairs and let her sleep with him.
In fact, this man is also very loving.
***
On the first night Lin Xi arrived in Tianshui Village, she was so frightened by mosquitoes that she couldn't sleep.
When I entered the room during the day, I saw a centipede. Just as I lay down, I was bitten by a big mosquito and a boil the size of a fingernail appeared.
This place is even more dilapidated than Er Zhuang’s home on the uninhabited island. Not only is there no supermarket, there isn’t even any mosquito coils.
The way to repel insects is to keep mugwort around you.
Lin Xi smelled the fragrance of mugwort, not sure if it killed the mosquitoes, but she felt dizzy anyway.
The next day, Lin Xi came to the cafeteria to eat listlessly.
Gu Qingheng prepared the meal and sat opposite her.
"What's wrong?"
"I just didn't get enough rest. There were so many mosquitoes. I'm afraid of insects."
It is far away from the city and there are no hotels to stay in.
Lin Xi lives in the best house in the village.
"Then we'll go to town to buy supplies later."
"good."
"Mrs. Shen, I still need you to be patient for a few days. We won't need you after work starts."
Lin Xi picked up the chopsticks and put a piece of roasted eggplant into her mouth.
The food is really good, with good color, aroma and taste.
"Are you secretly saying that I'm spoiled?"
"I didn't say that." Gu Qingheng retorted.
Lin Xi discovered that Gu Qingheng started to be sarcastic to her at some point.
"Tch. Childish."
I didn't expect Mr. Gu to be such a person.
Gu Qingheng looked at the red mark on her neck with a complicated expression. He had seen it when they first met yesterday.
He lowered his eyes in disappointment and concentrated on eating.
After eating, he drove Lin Xi to town.
Lin Xi sat in the passenger seat next to Gu Qingheng.
The mountain road was steep, and Lin Xi was afraid to drive due to psychological trauma, so she had to trouble Mr. Gu.
It takes half an hour to get from the village to the town.
Maybe it was because of carbon monoxide dizziness, or maybe it was because she was too sleepy, but in the end Lin Xi fell asleep in Gu Qingheng's car.
After arriving at the place, Gu Qingheng stopped the car and just left it there.
It stopped until Lin Xi woke up.
After sleeping for an hour, Lin Xi woke up in surprise, "Mr. Gu, are we here yet?"
"arrive."
"Okay, let's get off then."
"Okay."
Lin Xi went to the supermarket in town and found that she was short of everything!
I bought a lot of daily necessities and also wanted to buy some of my favorite fruits.
When checking out, Gu Qingheng wanted to pay, but Lin Xi refused with a smile.
The checkout aunt thought that this couple was extraordinary, handsome and beautiful, with outstanding temperament. They did not look like country people, but rather like wealthy people from the city.
"You are so beautiful, lady."
Lin Xi was shy for a moment, "Thank you for the compliment."
"Your husband is quite handsome too." The checkout auntie praised Gu Qingheng with a smile.
"husband?"
Lin Xi was stunned and looked into Gu Qingheng's eyes.
Gu Qingheng didn't explain, and Lin Xi forgot to explain out of embarrassment.
The two men carried their things back to the parking lot and got into the car.
Lin Xi was still sitting in the passenger seat. "Why don't you explain?"
"I couldn't ask for more."
These four words surprised Lin Xi.
He started the car, and Lin Xi seemed a little bored.
At this moment, debt turns into love.
The two people who never chatted online, Lin Xi sent him a rare message: Have you had lunch?
"bite"
Chen Yan replied: I ate it.
Lin Xi typed: Eat well and sleep well, Mr. Shen.
"bite"
Okay, Chen Yan replied immediately.
Two words this time: boring
Lin Xi sent a cute emoticon.
Chen Yan never replied again.
