Chapter 69 Love
Lin Xi had never been speechless and surprised so many times when talking to someone, and Chu Jingxuan was the first one.
After the banquet, when Lin Xi was about to leave, two bodyguards stopped her and said, "Ms. Lin, Mr. Shen wants to see you."
"Shen Yan?" Lin Xi raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, this way please."
Lin Xi knew these two bodyguards and they looked familiar.
So I followed them.
When they arrived at the parking lot, they opened the car door and Lin Xi sat in the passenger seat.
Chen Yan was beside her, smoking a cigarette.
The two of them didn't say a word, neither of them took the initiative to talk to the other, and neither of them paid any attention to the other.
After smoking a cigarette, Lin Xi inhaled the secondhand smoke and felt a little uncomfortable in his throat, so he casually opened the car window.
The car window was lowered and fresh air poured in, making me feel much more comfortable.
The lighter flicked, followed by the second cigarette.
She didn't speak, and he didn't speak either.
Until Chen Yan finished sucking the second one, he reached out and closed the car window.
Lin Xi finally couldn't bear it anymore and said in a particularly aggressive tone, "Are you trying to choke me to death? Why are you closing the car window? The space is so small."
However, Shen Yan didn't want to hear what she said at all, but only wanted to...
Lin Xi widened his eyes, leaned over and kissed her.
No wonder you have to close the car windows.
But it’s not possible, we are outside, there will be people walking around, and the car is not soundproof.
The more Lin Xi fears something, the more likely it is to happen.
A man and a woman came over and said, "Did you see that woman with long hair and an apricot dress?"
The man said, "I saw it, what's wrong?"
"You don't recognize her? She's Madam Gu. President Shen is here tonight. When Madam Gu was Miss Lin, she married Shen Yan, the president of Shen. Not long after the divorce, she married Gu Qingheng again. But Gu Qingheng died young. Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a pity."
"Are you envious?"
"How dare I envy you? I'm just your girlfriend, and your mother doesn't like me..."
Lin Xi listened to the gossip and was so scared that she didn't dare to make a sound.
She was curious and wondered what the upper class thought of her now.
Lin Xi feels like she is involved in scandals now.
But think about it, wealthy marriages and divorces are always hot topics and gossip.
Since childhood, Lin Xi has listened to her mother and other wives gossiping about the Zhang and Li families at gatherings.
I never thought that after growing up, it would be my turn. It really is a matter of time.
"You still dare to be distracted at this time, are you looking for death?" Chen Yan pinched Lin Xi punitively.
Lin Xi came back to her senses and couldn't help crying out in pain.
"Very good, that's it, jiao."
Lin Xi: ???
…
Thirty minutes later, Shen Yan let Lin Xi go.
Lin Xi's face was flushed and he was panting as he sat in the passenger seat.
"It's getting late. Mom should be worried about me."
Chen Yan slowly lit another cigarette.
He blew a smoke ring towards Lin Xi and said, "Sometimes I think, let's just turn a blind eye and move on. Why bother with such trivial matters?"
"Live like this?" Like this? Like this? Like this thirty minutes ago?
“Chen Yan, I think, if that’s the case, it’s better to remarry.”
"Will you die without a man? Didn't Gu Qingheng just pass away? Why are you so impatient?"
"Chen Yan, you will die without me, right?"
"Heh." Shen Yan smiled, indicating that he was in a good mood.
"We've been married for five years, divorced for over a year, and have been husband and wife for three years. We even have a son. As for who you like or love, I don't care."
"Oh." Lin Xi.
But, do you really not care?
**
When Lin Xi returned to the Lin Mansion, Xiuyun had just coaxed her grandson to sleep.
Xiuyun and Lin Xi discussed the conversation she had had with Madam Gu on the phone that day. "She implied that even if you weren't a qualified daughter-in-law and your last name wasn't Gu, she wouldn't force you to stay. But Gu Zhaoyun's last name was Gu, so she's a child of the Gu family. She said she'd bring the child back to the Gu family to raise in a few months."
After saying this, Xiuyun became a little angry. "This old lady Gu is really straightforward in her words. I don't know if she really has low emotional intelligence or just doesn't know how to speak. She doesn't consider others at all."
"Forget it, Mom. When Shen Youzhen is born, Mrs. Gu will naturally not be able to take care of Gu Zhaoyun. I didn't realize how much she likes my little Zhaoyun."
Not only that, the youngest son of the Gu family got married last year, and this year his daughter-in-law is also pregnant and is expected to give birth soon. The Gu family suddenly has two newborn children, and when that happens, Mrs. Gu will not be able to think of hitting Gu Zhaoyun.
"Chen Youzhen is going to give birth? The girl with short hair?" Xiuyun was confused.
"Um."
"Is she pregnant with your husband's child? Oh my God, how come I don't know anything about this?"
"There's a lot you don't know." Lin Xi said, then felt very tired and went upstairs. She also told her mother, "I'm too sleepy. Let's talk about it tomorrow."
Tormented by depression, there was no place on my body that didn't ache.
"Oh, you young people." Xiuyun heard some shocking gossip.
"What's going on..." Xiuyun Haicheng was so shocked that he couldn't help but speak out.
…
At this moment, the sky in Singapore is clear and sunny.
Chu Jingxuan went to find Chu Jingchuan and happened to see Chu Jingchuan and Lan Yi, one playing with his mobile phone and the other reading a book.
According to seniority, Chu Jingxuan should call Guan Lanyi "Aunt."
However, Lan Yi liked Chu Jingxuan very much, "Are you here to see Chuan?"
"Yes. I'm here to see Uncle Gu Qi."
So Lan Yi jumped over to Chu Jingchuan and said, "Xuan is looking for you, why don't you pay attention to him?"
"What's the matter? Tell me." Chu Jingchuan closed the book.
Lan Yi stood up and said, "Don't let me hear about your uncle and nephew. It's getting late. I'm leaving."
Chu Jingxuan smiled and asked, "Do you know a woman named Lin Xi?"
"What's wrong?"
"Oh, nothing. I seem to know Chu Jingchuan, so I came to ask you."
Chu Jingchuan reached out and took the cigarette box lighter on the coffee table, took out another cigarette and handed it to Chu Jingxuan.
Chu Jingxuan waved his hand and said, "No."
Chu Jingchuan doesn't smoke in front of Lan Yi, he only smokes after Lan Yi leaves.
"Yes, I know him."
Then, Chu Jingxuan changed the subject, "When will you marry Lan Yi?"
"I don't know. The feeling of love is very vague, but the feeling of not loving is always so clear."
Perhaps, not only Chu Jingchuan doesn't love Lan Yi, Lan Yi doesn't love him that much either.
"Oh." Chu Jingxuan didn't quite understand, and his expression was rare with a look of loss.
…
Chu Jingchuan is sick and can't get close to women.
I consulted many famous doctors, but none of them could cure me.
So, up to now, there has been no further progress with Lan Yi.
When Lan Yi was twenty years old, she fell in love with a duke.
Leave Chu Jingchuan and go directly to the appointment with the Duke.
The two kissed as soon as they met.
The Duke asked, "Why are you so late today?"
Lan Yi tilted her neck and said, "If Xuan hadn't come, we wouldn't have been able to meet today."
After Lan Yi finished speaking, the two of them hugged each other tightly.
"The Queen is watching too closely."
But the Duke said, "That's your mother. What will happen if she finds out..."
However, since ancient times, royal families have not been able to marry casually.
Because there are intricate power entanglements, wealth, and different parties here.
In the Kingdom of Singapore, a Duke could also compete for the throne. Marrying Lan Yi would give him a better chance of success.
"I love you. I really do."
"Ran, I believe you." Lan Yi said.
Jing Ran picked up Lan Yi and carried her horizontally into the innermost room, which was the most secretive room and was where Lan Yi and Jing Ran had been dating for half a year.
If Chu Jingchuan was useless, why would she commit herself to the Duke?
Afterwards, Lan Yi snuggled in Jing Ran's arms, and Jing Ran asked her, "When will you cancel your engagement with Chu Jingchuan?"
"Neither my father nor my mother will agree."
"Then we...?"
"Ran, don't worry, I will leave Chu Jingchuan sooner or later. Then we can be open and aboveboard."
"You always say that, so how long will it take?"
"What are you in such a hurry for?"
"I just don't want to be so sneaky anymore!"
Lan Yi let out a breath, thinking that both of them were too emotional, so she put on her skirt and prepared to leave: "If you can't calm down, Ran, don't look for me in the future."
Lan Yi left so heartlessly that Jing Ran felt resentful.
I also want to force Lan Yi.
So, the next day's date was late at night.
The palace was quiet. Lan Yi came secretly, and the two of them went into the most secret room together.
An hour later, Lan Yi came out first, her face dark red. She was smiling just a moment ago, but the next second she was stunned in shock.
The queen and her servants were waiting outside.
Lan Yi: How long have you been waiting? I listened to the whole process.
With a thud, Lan Yi fell to her knees.
He cried out, "Mother, I was wrong."
"You know the royal family's rules. Women must not overstep the boundaries before marriage. Besides, you've already been betrothed to Chu Jingchuan. You just lack a real wedding ceremony. How could you do such a shameless thing?"
"It's not Chu Jingchuan's fault. I'm twenty years old, in the prime of my life, but he's unmoved. Do I have to stay with him forever?"
"How outrageous." The queen slapped Lan Yi in anger.
Jing Ran also walked out dejectedly, knelt in front of the queen, and said, "Princess Lan Yi and I are in love with each other and are truly in love. I will be responsible for the princess. Please give me a chance. Besides, the princess is pregnant... It's my child..."
"Shut up! Jing Ran, shut up." Lan Yi didn't want to marry Jing Ran because she couldn't let go of Chu Jingchuan.
However, what Lan Yi didn't understand was that the reason she was discovered was because Jing Ran tipped off the person, who wanted to make their affair public and force Lan Yi to marry him.
The next morning, Chu Jingchuan also learned about the scandal between Princess Lan Yi and Duke Jing Ran.
He did not blame Lan Yi, but said, "Since you two are in love with each other and truly love each other, our engagement will be annulled."
After saying this, he left Lan Yi's palace.
Lan Yi didn't have the face to step forward to stop him because she was no longer worthy of Chu Jingchuan.
Lan Yi got married in a hurry and married Duke Jing Ran seven days later.
On the day Lan Yi got married, Chu Jingchuan was so sad that he wanted to kill someone.
How can I not love you?
He had loved Lan Yi, just as a brother loves his sister, and a husband loves his wife. However, love does not discriminate between high and low.
Chu Jingxuan comforted Chu Jingchuan, "Do you want to go to Jingbei to play? I think Jingbei City is quite fun."
"good."
Anyway, Chu Jingchuan didn't want to see the princess getting married and the whole world celebrating.
So he and Chu Jingxuan fled from here.
They went to Jingbei City to drink, and it was Chu Jingxuan who wanted to get Chu Jingchuan drunk.
Chu Jingchuan drank cup after cup, and became more and more annoyed.
He went out and picked up a woman at random, and kissed her.
The surprising thing this time was that he didn't feel nauseous or uncomfortable at all.
Instead, I feel that the other person is sweet.
I was fascinated by it for a while.
Therefore, Lin Xi had the opportunity to break free from Chu Jingchuan's arms.
“Bang!”
He slapped Chu Jingchuan in the face.
"You pervert, I'm calling the police right now."
Lin Xi held Chu Jingchuan tightly, fearing that he would run away.
"Lin Xi?" Chu Jingchuan called softly.
Lin Xi suddenly realized that her palm had loosened, "Chu Jingchuan...?"
It was just jaw-dropping.
The other party is more than that.
"Why do you just kiss any woman?" Lin Xi was so angry.
"Then call the police. Who made me kiss you?"
Lin Xi really wanted to call the police.
So a few people went to the police station and Xiuyun rushed to the Beijing Municipal Police Station overnight.
Finally, Chu Jingchuan had to apologize to Lin Xi and pay compensation.
Chu Jingxuan was almost dying of laughter...
"No, Uncle Seven, you can't touch women, right?"
"Shut up."
This was the first time that Lin Xi and Chu Jingchuan had such a tacit understanding.
Women think this is a huge scandal, and men think it is a secret that they cannot touch women.
Chu Jingxuan raised his eyebrows unconvinced, "Okay, okay."
Lin Xi pulled her mother away and said, "I'll never go to the bar again."
"I told you, don't go to places like that."
Who knew I would be so unlucky to meet a psychopath like Chu Jingchuan?
"Is my son asleep?"
Lin Xi sat in the driver's seat and Xiuyun sat in the passenger seat.
Lin Xi started the car and returned to the Lin Mansion.
"He went to bed a long time ago. After I came out, I asked Aunt Wang to help look after him."
"Um."
Lin Xi thought about it and asked, "Has Chen Yan seen the child today?"
"No. By the way, are you two having a fight? Xiao Shen hasn't been here for a few days."
Lin Xi murmured to herself: "It seems like they are quarreling again..."
Chen Yan must be angry with her.
How could he be a compromiser?
No, he is not.
The wife he wants must be someone who belongs to him both physically and mentally.
Therefore, even Shenyan can be humble and say one thing and mean another.
After returning to the Lin Mansion, the first thing Lin Xi did was to call the project partner he had an appointment with tonight to apologize.
After all, Lin Xi had already gone to the police station before he even saw the person.
If you don't explain, the other party will think you are breaking the appointment on purpose.
This is a big taboo in business.
After hanging up the phone, I went to see my son again and he was fine.
Lin Xi felt relieved.
"Little one, when does your mother miss you the most after not seeing you for a day? After all, your mother is more affectionate to you than your father. Your father comes to see you when he is in a good mood, and not when he is in a bad mood."
Oh, man!
"But Mom never placed her hopes on your dad."
