Chapter 49: A Wasteful Effort
"Chen Yan, why don't you speak?"
Next second.
“Boom…Boom…”
Lin Xi sighed, "You actually hung up."
Lying down feeling lost.
When I opened my eyes again, it was already bright outside. Xuedan hadn't woken up yet, but Lin Xi woke up first.
Her mind was in a mess, so she habitually went to the bathroom to take a shower to clear her mind.
Thirty minutes later, Lin Xi walked out of the bathroom and returned to her usual urban beauty.
Xuedan woke up when she heard the sound of running water, but she still lay on the sofa. "What time is it, Xixi?"
"Eleven o'clock."
"Oh, it's noon."
Xuedan mustered up her strength and went to the bathroom.
Lin Xi turned on the computer and opened her work email to see if there was any urgent work to be done back home.
She searched from top to bottom and found nothing, so she turned off the computer.
Xuedan was very slow and unhurried. Lin Xi knocked on the door and asked, "Xuedan, are you okay?"
The bathroom door was opened, and the fragrance filled the air. Xuedan blinked playfully.
"Is this makeup good-looking?"
Her heavy makeup and red lips make her skin look whiter than snow.
"Hmm~ Not bad."
"Then Miss Lin, isn't your professional suit inappropriate for attending a dinner party?"
Lin Xi looked at herself and asked, "Are you okay?"
"Dongdong---"
There was a knock on the hotel room door, and Xuedan hurried to open it.
The designer has delivered the evening gown.
The orchid-colored off-shoulder long dress is dignified and elegant.
The apricot yellow A-line skirt is bright and eye-catching, adding a touch of sexiness.
"Xixi, here, this is the style I understand. This one by designer Kenrewa is for you, and the little daisy is for me."
"Oh, Kenrewa, isn't this a high-end item?" It's a new model that has just been released recently and has not yet been launched on the market.
"Don't forget, I'm also a bit of a name in the fashion world. Ordering a high-end piece won't be a problem."
"Oh." Lin Xi nodded, "Okay."
After changing into an evening gown, the makeup artist came in.
Lin Xi's makeup is light and elegant.
Her long hair was tied up at the back of her head and fixed with a silver hairpin.
The silver hairpin with flowing beads is embellished with small orchids, which is the finishing touch of this Chinese aesthetic.
If Lin Xi is gentle and generous, then Xuedan is sexy and charming.
She has big wavy hair and her clothes are revealing but not tacky. Xuedan's skin is really white, even pinky white. With a little bit of powder, she is a pure presence with a white glow in the crowd.
The special car for the dinner came to pick up the guests. She was a rich and beautiful girl, and also a rich and beautiful woman in the world.
The moment you enter the venue, you will be amazed. The top domestic and foreign giants are connected. Even if you don’t know each other, you will have heard of their families.
Xuedan had been looking for Chu Jingchuan. The banquet hadn't officially started yet, so the host should not have arrived yet.
Lin Xi said with a forced smile, "This is clearly the Singapore Royal Dinner."
All those present were prominent figures.
"Xuedan, as your friend, I want to say that, as far as I know, members of the Singaporean royal family will get engaged after they reach adulthood. Are you sure Chu Jingchuan doesn't have a family?"
"Not sure." After saying that, he raised his head and drank the red wine in his hand.
"Forget it then. It's just love at first sight. Just be gentle with it."
"What a great way to handle it with care! I just want to see him one last time before we get married."
Lin Xi held his forehead, "You really won't turn back until you hit the wall."
"Okay, Xixi, after I return to China, I will get married and stay with Chen Jialian for the rest of my life."
"Well, it's your life, you decide."
"Here he comes..."
Chu Jingchuan was dressed very low-key, and there was a girl with short hair and bangs next to him. The girl was dressed simply and had a pretty face.
Standing together with Chu Jingchuan, they look like brother and sister.
There was a boy standing on the right of Chu Jingchuan, and that boy was Chu Jiulin.
In order to help her good friend, Lin Xi brought Xuedan to greet Chu Jiulin.
"Long time no see, Mr. Chu."
Chu Jiulin was overjoyed, "Lin Xi? I never expected to see you here!"
"Me too." Lin Xi then began to introduce Xuedan beside him.
Xuedan greeted Chu Jingchuan, "Do you remember me?"
However, Chu Jingchuan had no impression at all, "Who are you?"
Xuedan was a little disappointed. "We just met by chance. It's normal that you don't remember me."
She looked at the girl next to Chu Jingchuan again, and when she looked closer she found that she was very young and immature, like she had just reached adulthood.
Lan Yi and Xuedan looked into each other's eyes. Even though Lan Yi was only eighteen years old, she could understand the emotion in Xuedan's eyes that she regarded herself as a love rival.
"Chuan, who is this woman?" Lan Yi communicated with Chu Jingchuan in Singaporean.
Chu Jingchuan shrugged and replied, "I don't know."
Like Chu Jingchuan, Lan Yi is a member of the royal family of Singapore. Chu Jingchuan is the youngest son of the King of Singapore, and Lan Yi is related to him. In ancient times, she was a princess, and in modern times she is still named Princess Lan Yi.
She and Chu Jingchuan had been engaged since childhood, but she was too young, so Chu Jingchuan wanted to wait until he grew up before they got married.
Sometimes Lan Yi would blame herself, why was she more than ten years younger than Chu Jingchuan?
He was originally her husband, but because they had not obtained a marriage certificate and had not held a wedding ceremony, she could not call him his wife, but only his fiancée.
Once a woman approaches Chuan, Lan Yi will be very sad.
Like tonight, "Chuan, I don't like her."
After saying this, Lan Yi turned and left.
Xuedan looked at Chu Jingchuan, and Chu Jingchuan said, "I'll go first."
Chu Jingchuan took anxious steps to coax his fiancée.
Chu Jiulin chuckled, "It's all in vain."
It was unknown who was touched by this sentence. Chu Jiulin thought that Lin Xi was definitely not here to pursue Chu Jingchuan. The only possibility was her friend.
"Hey, you speak really rudely." Xuedan was holding back her anger and felt very upset, and this person was just rubbing salt into the wound.
"Excuse me ma'am, I'm talking about Chu Jingchuan and his Princess Lan Yi."
After Chu Jiulin finished speaking, Xuedan muttered to herself: "Princess Lan Yi, so she is a princess?"
"Yes, she is a princess, and she is also Chu Jingchuan's fiancée."
"Oh." Xuedan was splashed with a bucket of cold water.
"After such a long time no see, Director Lin is still as radiant as ever." Chu Jiulin looked at Lin Xi with a frivolous look.
"I think Director Lin's criteria should be met when I'm looking for a girlfriend."
"If it were me, I definitely wouldn't like a man like Mr. Chu."
"I went to Jingbei a few months ago and also visited Shen's, but you weren't there. I wanted to invite you to dinner."
"A few months ago?" Lin Xi remembered that they should have been on an uninhabited island during that time.
"It's better to do it today than today. You have to compensate me today." Chu Jiulin said.
"Okay, I'll pay today."
"What?" Xuedan didn't want to leave so quickly. "Don't think about Chu Jingchuan, he won't be coming back. If you want to see him, I'll make an appointment for you tomorrow." Chu Jiulin was almost laughing to death. He had no idea how he had managed to convince this girl to come all the way to see Chu Jingchuan.
"I'm his good friend. Tell me, is there anything going on between you two?" Chu Jiulin looked gossipy.
"No. Nothing."
"oh."
"Believe it or not."
"You didn't say you didn't believe it?"
"Xixi, let's treat you to dinner another day, okay?"
Lin Xi: "Okay."
Next, the dinner had a dancing mode.
It's probably about finding a dance partner in the dark, similar to a random match.
In fact, Lin Xi was standing still, but suddenly a pair of hands grabbed her waist, and she subconsciously tried to break free.
"Wife."
The word "wife" scared Lin Xi.
"Are you Shen Yan?"
How is this possible? Isn't Chen Yan in Beijing? How could he be in Singapore?!
He took her hand and asked her to dance with him.
Then the two of them huddled together in the darkness, and Lin Xi whispered, "You really are disgusting, because only he has that unique minty scent."
"What wife wouldn't recognize her husband?"
"Why did you come here without saying anything?"
"It's not because someone said they missed me."
These words allowed Lin Xi to revive her dead memories.
"That was what I said when I was drunk. I didn't really miss you."
"Really?"
"Yeah." She leaned her face on his shoulder and leaned on his arms.
Lin Xi took the initiative to kiss him, and the two of them lingered in the darkness.
The lights in the banquet hall were turned off, and it was pitch black.
A kiss is over, a dance is over.
The lights were turned on again, and the two people looked at each other, and at this moment they secretly fell in love.
Lin Xi was very conflicted. She felt that he loved Chen Yan, but also didn't love her. For Lin Xi, she had loved Chen Yan for more than ten years, while for Chen Yan, it was just the beginning of his feelings. It was the first time he fell in love with a woman. This feeling made him fascinated and curious.
…….
Xuedan unexpectedly touched Chu Jiulin by chance, and she finished the dance reluctantly.
As soon as the lights were turned on, his eyes began to wander.
Finally, I found Lin Xi's figure in the distance.
She was also dancing with a man, whose back was facing away from Xuedan, so she couldn't see his face.
"By the way, is Chu Jingchuan really better looking than me?" Chu Jiulin suddenly spoke.
A long cello sounded, transforming from the gentle piano sound just now to a cello sound with strong emotional colors.
"You two are equally matched, it's just that I just can't get your divine looks."
"Hehe, not only do you not get it, I think you are annoying. You don't even want to look at me straight in the eye." Chu Jiulin was a little dissatisfied.
Anyway, I stared at this woman more carefully. Her red lips were really eye-catching.
"What's your name?" Chu Jiulin asked.
"Xuedan." Xuedan became sad again when she thought of Chu Jingchuan.
"How about I chase you?"
"What?" Xuedan almost heard it wrong.
The dancing starts slowly and then stops.
She lowered her eyes and said, "You will definitely not treat me well. Besides, I have a husband and the wedding is coming soon."
"What is Chu Jingchuan?"
"A small episode." Xuedan will marry Chen Jialian and will not betray him.
"You have a husband, and you don't like him." Chu Jiulin found it interesting. It was probably another case of being well-matched, yet reluctant.
"Love and loyalty are two different things. Can a couple love each other forever? One day they will get tired of each other, and love will turn into family affection, but betrayal and infidelity are still unacceptable."
"oh."
"Please tell Chu Jingchuan a message. You are the first man I fell in love with at first sight, and you will also be the last. I fell in love with you and I was blind."
"Tsk" Chu Jiulin couldn't help laughing, "Okay, I'll bring it to you."
At this moment, Xuedan felt like crying.
Turned around and left to find Lin Xi.
But I saw Lin Xi and Shen Yan talking and laughing, and their world could only accommodate them.
Xuedan didn't disturb them anymore and walked in the opposite direction. She wanted to be alone and finally cry for Chu Jingchuan as a single Miss Xuedan.
A month later.
Xuedan and Chen Jialian's wedding was held as scheduled.
Xuedan, wearing a white wedding dress and holding flowers, slowly walked towards Chen Jialian.
The wedding dress she is wearing was designed by Xuedan herself.
She is wearing crystal shoes, the only one of their kind in the world, designed by Xuedan herself.
Chen Jialian nodded with satisfaction, and the man smiled warmly and gently.
He is quite handsome.
The two exchanged rings and kissed.
Lin Xi, who was sitting in the audience, sincerely applauded Xuedan.
Sitting next to Lin Xi was Xuedan's mother.
Xuedan's mother lamented, "A marriage is most solid when the two are equally matched."
Lin Xi smiled but said nothing.
After taking a day off and attending Xuedan's wedding, Lin Xi went to the hospital in the afternoon.
I don’t know what’s wrong with me recently. I feel weak all over, have poor appetite, and vomit frequently.
The last time I had this symptom was when I was pregnant.
This time, the doctor told her: "She is too weak and asked her if she had ever had a miscarriage."
Lin Xi answered truthfully.
"That's because you haven't taken good care of yourself. If a woman is too weak, it will be more difficult to have a child."
After the doctor wrote the prescription, Lin Xi went to buy the medicine.
Then drive home.
When I got home, I went to see Xiao Fu and said to myself, "Actually, I really hope to get pregnant again and have a child with Shen Yan."
I guess Chen Yan also wants to be a father.
The last time we went shopping together at the mall, Mr. Shen passed by the children's products area and took a few more glances.
"Meow~Meow~" Xiao Fu acted coquettishly and cutely towards Lin Xi.
"Little cutie, I hope you can bring me a good pregnancy."
"Meow~!"
In the evening, Chen Yan came home and we had dinner together.
Before going to bed, Lin Xi threw herself into his arms.
After tossing and turning for a long time, they were both very tired, so they just hugged each other and fell asleep.
*
At this moment, on the other side, the wedding house Chen Jialian bought was a Western-style building.
The property certificate is in Xuedan’s name, so it can be considered a gift to Xuedan.
Chen Jialian started his own business a few years ago and later sold it for hundreds of millions of yuan. He then switched to work as an executive at his current listed company.
Chen Jialian is not an employee, he is wealthy!
The two had never had sex before marriage, so Chen Jialian thought Xuedan was pure.
However, after the bridal chamber, Chen Jialian was disappointed.
"What's wrong with you?" Xuedan vaguely noticed that there was something wrong with Chen Jialian who was smoking.
"You're not?" Chen Jialian raised his eyebrows and his tone became a little colder.
"What's not? What you mean is..." Xuedan smiled.
"Okay, okay." Chen Jialian took a few deep puffs of his cigarette and left the room without saying a word.
On the wedding night, Xuedan stayed alone in the empty room.
She couldn't believe that there were still men with ** tendencies nowadays?
It’s the 21st century now, the Qing Dynasty is long gone!
