Chapter 82 Extra 1: Family Portrait
It turned out that Lin Jingchuan had really pawned himself off to the Zhang family father and daughter for the sake of his adopted father. Although he downplayed the incident when he talked about it, Xu Mo still felt angry when she thought about it. Lin Hui had never fulfilled his fatherly obligations, so why should Lin Jingchuan help his entire family pay back the debt?
If it weren't for Lin Hui, she wouldn't have gotten divorced. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She couldn't sleep that night and tossed and turned in bed.
A pair of bony hands covered her waist, and the man's slightly hoarse voice was immersed in the moonlight: "What's wrong?"
Xu Mo turned to look at him, forehead against forehead. His eyes looked particularly gentle in the moonlight. Xu Mo pursed her lips and said, "I just feel a little sorry for you."
Lin Jingchuan curled the corners of his lips: "So you can't sleep because you feel sorry for me."
“…”
Xu Mo fell silent. She must have felt embarrassed to be exposed. She even wanted to turn over and face away from him. Lin Jingchuan smiled and turned her body over, kissing her forehead: "Don't be angry."
"Didn't you tell me before that you wouldn't agree to his unreasonable demands?" Xu Mo touched the button on his chest, "Why did you finally agree to help him pay off his debts?"
Lin Jingchuan touched her face and said, "He's really not that good. I'm just too soft-hearted."
Xu Mo took a deep breath. His hand was a little cold. She placed her fingers on the back of his slightly cold hand and her eyelashes moved.
Yes, he has always been a person who can't harden his heart.
Lin Jingchuan touched her hair and said, "Okay, go to sleep."
Xu Mo closed her eyes, lay in his arms, hugged one of his arms, smelled the soothing scent of cedar on him, and soon fell asleep with even breathing.
The feeling of sleeping with someone else and sleeping alone is indeed... very different.
Although Lin Jingchuan's job has changed a lot in the past two years, he is still a very sought-after professional manager in the market. Right after he left Zhengxin, many companies extended olive branches to him.
Lu Chaoju also came to visit, calling to say that Lin Jingchuan had made great achievements both at Lan Da and Zhengxin, and that he admired his management skills. He had just invested in a very good agriculture + project and invited Lin Jingchuan to be the general manager.
Xu Mo firmly refused to agree: "It's enough for one of us to work under Lu Chaoju, a capitalist who eats people without leaving any bones."
Lin Jingchuan laughed: "It seems that you have a lot of opinions about him."
Xu Mo said, "You have no idea how he exploited me in the first six months of the company's existence. When a product development wasn't progressing as expected, he summoned me to Shanghai overnight and warned me that if the product didn't launch successfully, he would require me to repurchase my shares according to the contract. I was so scared I couldn't sleep all night. He also loves setting impossible goals. For example, he demanded that the company's sales double by the end of the year. The entire pet market is so small, how could we find growth? Several of the company's executives are so worried that their hair is turning gray..."
Lin Jingchuan held her hand, his eyes drooping, his thumb gently stroking her slender white joints: "You had a very hard time during that time."
The man's eyes revealed a look of heartache. Xu Mo was stunned for a moment, then said carelessly, "It's okay, it's all over. I'm feeling better now."
Lin Jingchuan pulled her into his arms and hugged her, whispering, "I originally separated from you because I didn't want you to suffer with me. But I didn't expect that your life seemed to be even more difficult."
Xu Mo leaned on his shoulder and blinked: "Why are you saying this? Aren't we all doing well now? Originally, our family only had one rich man, but now we have a rich man and a rich woman. Double the wealth, how great."
Lin Jingchuan burst out laughing: "Little rich woman, you have already surpassed me."
He whispered to her, "Don't worry, I'll think about work carefully. I'm not in a hurry to go to work. I'll spend more time with you."
Xu Mo smiled and held his handsome face and kissed him: "Okay."
Dudu walked to the two people's feet, wagging his tail, and protested against the two people showing off their affection: "Meow."
Lin Jingchuan picked it up, touched his forehead against its small head, and said with a smile: "Our Dudu is also a big internet celebrity."
Dudu stared at him with his round eyes. Xu Mo patted his head and said, "Be good."
"Let's take Dudu to take a family photo." Lin Jingchuan's voice was somewhat complaining, "Apart from the wedding photos, we don't even have a decent photo together."
After the divorce, when he was drunk and missed her, he couldn't even find any photos of the two of them.
Xu Mo readily agreed.
The two of them brought Dudu to a chain photo studio in the city center. The staff were two young-looking girls, one was responsible for makeup and the other was responsible for photography.
Xu Mo had already put on her own makeup, but because the camera eats up her makeup, the makeup artist still helped her apply some lipstick. She took a cotton swab and gently slid it across the woman's soft lips, saying enviously, "Your skin is so good, you can't even see your pores."
Xu Mo smiled and said, "Thank you. It's probably because of the foundation."
The makeup artist said, "And your husband is very handsome too. You two are a perfect match."
Xu Mo glanced at the man who was adjusting his collar in front of a full-length mirror. He was wearing a dark blue short-sleeved casual shirt with a white T-shirt underneath. He looked several years younger than when he usually wore a suit. She smiled and said, "Yes."
The two stood together and posed under the guidance of the photographer, while the makeup artist stood by and stared at them intently. I couldn't help but scream like a groundhog in my heart. How cute!
"Please tilt your head and look at the man—" the photographer guided, "He can put his hand on the woman's shoulder and relax a little."
Xu Mo smiled and asked, "Why are you so nervous?"
Lin Jingchuan smiled and lowered his eyes, saying to Xu Mo, "It's the first time we show affection in front of others. I'm a little embarrassed."
"Why are you embarrassed now?" Xu Mo said, "You looked very natural when we took the wedding photos."
"Actually, I'm terribly nervous." He whispered in her ear, "I didn't dare let you see it. I was afraid you'd see that I'm just a greenhorn in relationships and run away."
He paused and gritted his teeth slightly: "After all, I was still a virgin at that time, but you have seven years of relationship experience."
Xu Mo fell silent. She looked away, intending to play dead, but Lin Jingchuan didn't give her the chance. He turned her face over and kissed her on the cheek. The photographer took the opportunity to capture the moment.
"Good, very good!" The photographer gave a satisfied thumbs-up. "You two look great. I'll just do some light editing."
Lin Jingchuan held her hand and said, "After our divorce, the happiest person should be Zhao Tingyu. Has he never come to see you?"
He really still minded it. Xu Mo suddenly smiled and said, "I have looked for it."
He looked at her nervously, his fingers gripping her palm slightly tighter. Xu Mo raised her chin and said, "After working with Zhang Hui for a year, is there nothing else between you two besides comradery?"
"Of course not."
"Um?"
Lin Jingchuan pinched her cheek and said, "But her father really wants me to marry into his family."
Xu Mo slapped his hand away and her expression changed.
This actually happened!
Lin Jingchuan curled his lips slightly and put his arm around her shoulders: "I didn't agree, no matter how much money you offer."
His lips pressed against her ear, her eardrum vibrating and his voice roaring in her head: "I only want you."
