Chapter 49 Chen Tai
"Mrs. Chen, naturally, means Mrs. Chen Jingshu."
Chen Jingshu has never liked driving, and even when he does drive, he maintains the slowest possible speed.
Sitting in the passenger seat today, Lin Yujing silently gripped the seatbelt tightly.
"You don't need to be in such a hurry, I'm not going to fly away."
On the Lantern Festival, the streets and alleys were crowded with tourists.
Especially inside the Second Ring Road, you have to wait at every red light.
Chen Jingshu only dared to hold her hand when the light was red, like a greedy hypocrite sniffing it under his nose.
Lin Yujing playfully tried to pull it away, reminding him, "These days, there are high-definition cameras everywhere. If you do this, you'll easily get caught on camera and have to pay a fine."
Their cars were lined up so far that they couldn't even be seen by the surveillance cameras, but Chen Jingshu still suddenly reached out and grabbed her neck, leaning in to kiss her lips.
Then, in a cocky tone, he said, "I'm willing."
Chen Jingshu finally withdrew his hand only when the green light came on.
Lin Yujing's lips were also hidden in the darkness as she chuckled to herself, watching the street scene rushing past the car window.
-
Lin Yujing was still serious and composed when she and Chen Jingshu stepped out of the elevator, but as soon as Chen Jingshu pushed open the door of the courtyard house, she was pressed against the door panel.
One has to admire Chen Jingshu for being such a meticulous man when it comes to sex.
Even though he was deeply moved, he still remembered to place his hand behind her head to prevent her from bumping it.
They also raised the electric glass of the skylight, afraid that she would be chilled by the cold wind.
Describing her as a gentle and charming perfect lover is most fitting.
Her back pressed against the cold door, yet a fire burned within her.
Or rather, it was because of Chen Jingshu during this period that her usually suppressed anger was able to ignite intensely.
Chen Jingshu seemed to want to take her to do something exciting. The French windows, which usually had the curtains drawn, were now open to the two of them, with the lights off, offering a panoramic view of the bustling street.
The room was well-heated, and after kissing for a while, we were all sweating.
Lin Yujing's feet were bare as she stepped on Chen Jingshu's ankle bones.
Still feeling suffocated by the heat, she leaned over the glass.
She maintained a balance between ice and fire amidst the fluctuating collisions, while also dealing with Chen Jingshu's attempts to destroy her sanity with his fingers and demand a place for her emotions.
Lin Yujing's eyes were glazed as she looked at the Kyoto lights lying prostrate at her feet.
No day is the city more splendid than the Lantern Festival.
It is so beautiful that humans might feel a possessive urge to claim this tallest building on Chang'an Avenue as their own.
Chen Jingshu held her close, leaving a kiss mark on her smooth back. He intertwined his fingers with hers, pressing his hand against her waist to press them together intimately.
"Jingjing, call me 'husband' so I can hear it."
"husband."
She hummed softly, without the slightest hesitation.
"Then, be my girlfriend."
Lin Yujing opened her eyes, glanced back at him, and smiled beautifully, "A-Shu, it's already good enough if we just consciously succumb to this, but don't fall into it."
Chen Jingshu's plan failed, and he became as fierce as a pile driver, saying, "Jingjing, sometimes I really want to open your head and see what's inside."
Lin Yujing couldn't even string together a coherent sentence, but she still stubbornly replied, "Why don't you open up my body first? It will definitely make you feel more pleasure than my brain."
"grass!"
Chen Jingshu was thoroughly enraged by her and practically threw Lin Yujing onto the bed.
"This is your last chance." He stood tall, gripping Lin Yujing's chin, and asked fiercely.
Lin Yujing tilted her head back, even more stubborn, but suddenly sighed, "A-Shu, have you noticed that it hasn't snowed this winter?"
It was a question that seemed to come out of nowhere. Chen Jingshu was slightly taken aback, and Lin Yujing couldn't understand why she would ask such a question.
It seems that, in a flash of inspiration, the gods planted a foreshadowing for the two of them.
"Perhaps there will be snow in late winter."
The sudden topic interrupted Chen Jingshu's original thoughts.
That night, they finally succumbed to passion at dawn.
Even after he was satisfied, Chen Jingshu still held her while he took a bath.
Both of them must have been exhausted. Chen Jingshu fell asleep after saying only a few words to her, while Lin Yujing suffered from insomnia.
I don't know if it's the withdrawal symptoms from having to leave after dawn, or the unspeakable psychological gap.
Recalling tonight, she stood on Chen Jingshu's feet, atop the tallest building on Chang'an Avenue, with the endless, sprawling lights of the imperial city before her.
But in reality, she was fully aware that she had only been able to catch a glimpse of a scene that ordinary people rarely saw, thanks to Chen Jingshu's help.
Looking back on her childhood, the words Lin Daguo and Li Yan said to her most often were, "If it weren't for us, you would have died somewhere long ago. If you don't listen to us, get out of my house."
Therefore, her underlying desire is more than anyone else for a home, for someone who will always stand behind her as a pillar.
But Chen Jingshu, he was actually just relying on the Chen family's help.
Upon closer examination, they were all people who had committed themselves to the hierarchical system.
They were no different from Wan Xiang, seemingly standing in the most dazzling castle forest, celebrities worshipped by thousands.
From a distance, it looks like a sacred and mysterious deity.
Ultimately, it comes down to what Chen Jingshu once said: whatever you are protected by, you will also be bound by it.
All things follow the law that humans follow the earth, the earth follows the heavens, the heavens follow the Tao, and the Tao follows nature.
Therefore, the best storyline is for them to remain in this ambiguous and tender moment, giving each other only physical and spiritual pleasure, without imposing any further binding or restraint on their bodies and minds.
It would be good to give her some psychological comfort, and let her dream that Chen Jingshu is still free, to indulge in a moment of despair before waking up at dawn.
Lin Yujing raised her hand and touched Chen Jingshu's heart.
Knowing he was asleep, she still replied, "A-Shu, did you hear that? This is my answer to you."
-
The next day, the two stayed in bed until noon before getting up.
After Lin Yujing finished washing up, she started packing her luggage, while Chen Jingshu squatted to the side, causing trouble, saying, "It's so nice to live here."
"All I know is that if I live here, I'll skip every morning class, and you'll cancel every morning meeting."
"Being a foolish and incompetent ruler isn't so bad, actually."
Lin Yujing pushed him away, "Stop fooling around."
That day, Chen Jingshu took her to school, and Yijing was once again plunged into darkness.
Lin Yujing pushed open the dormitory door and saw Qi Woxue tidying up her desk.
"I thought you weren't coming home tonight."
"If I don't go back tonight, I probably won't be able to come back."
Qi Woxue stopped tidying up the desk, pulled her hand and sat her on the edge of the bed, asking gossipily, "What's going on? Did Young Master Chen break off the engagement and you two get back together?"
Lin Yujing pursed her lips, and after a long while shook her head, stammering, "There was no intercourse, it was just two lonely men and women, just..."
Her emotions were too complex; she couldn't bring herself to say it.
"He wouldn't be Bao..."
"Senior sister, how is this possible!"
In any case, it all comes down to this.
They are not in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.
Qi Woxue gave her a thumbs up, "Awesome!"
But soon, even more incredible news spread throughout the entire capital.
Early April, in early spring.
The Beijing Painting Association selected "Young Artist of the Year," and Lin Yujing's name and personal profile appeared among a group of well-known figures.
This title, considered the most prestigious in the domestic art world, was unexpectedly bestowed upon a college student who is virtually unknown to many.
Especially before her, this award was almost exclusively given to painters who had already achieved exceptionally high levels of accomplishment.
Therefore, Lin Yujing is hailed by countless people as the pride of ordinary people.
During that period, the only one who could rival the wildly popular actress "Zhong Xiangjia" for the top spot on Weibo's trending topics was Lin Yujing.
Are you guys only finding out about Lin Yujing now? She was quite popular last year, but it coincided with the Spring Festival, and everyone was too busy eating, drinking, and having fun.
[Why does this sound so familiar? Her book, "The Angel in a Wheelchair," touched countless disabled people and was even chosen by a foreign entrepreneur to be given to his daughter who had lost a leg.]
[She's a senior from our Academy of Fine Arts at Tsinghua University, a healing-themed young painter with a super sunny and positive style. You can often see her paintings at the school's art exhibitions.]
[Even more beautiful than Lin Yujing's paintings is her face. How did she manage to rely on her talent when she could easily make a living based on her looks?]
She is a true golden phoenix rising from the ashes of ordinary people. My classmates at the art academy told me that Lin Yujing was born in a remote mountain village. Because she was a girl, her family disliked her from a young age. They only didn't abandon her because of her beauty, hoping to earn her a dowry. Even now, she is still treated like a blood donation by her family.
[What the person upstairs said is true; everyone in our art academy knows this. Her mother was lying on the floor of the girls' dormitory, rolling around, saying she would kill herself at school if they didn't pay her.]
[Lin Yujing, what kind of modern-day beautiful, strong, and tragic female protagonist?]
Stop with the marketing! She's not that simple! She's the girl who was exposed as Hua Ren's young master's first love, and the one he took to the rooftop courtyard of the Wanxiang Hotel!
[Wow, that's amazing! She actually managed to hook up with Young Master Hua Ren. Tell us about it!]
The moment Qi Woxue refreshed the page, the post with over a million comments was instantly deleted.
"My God, the post I just told you about that exposed your background has been deleted." Qi Woxue looked up at her and said, "No need to guess, it was your young master Chen's doing."
Lin Yujing was applying lipstick when she heard this and couldn't help but sigh, "Sigh, let's get ready to go. Eating melons is nothing compared to eating."
Qi Woxue put her phone back in her pocket and stood up. "You really have a strong heart."
Lin Yujing patted her chest, "I have to be strong!"
She never forgot that she had lived in the eye of the storm since childhood, enduring belittling from her parents and hostility and isolation from her classmates.
For her, being exposed online is the least of her worries.
If she were to worry about something like this, she would probably have developed depression long ago.
Qi Woxue took her arm and they walked out of the dormitory together, saying, "I feel sorry for Jingjing."
"Don't feel sorry for me, I'll be Director Lin Yujing soon." She chuckled.
Today was the day she had arranged to meet with the designer in charge of the JING Art Museum's renovation.
As early as after the Lantern Festival, Young Master Chen made a grand gesture and signed a contract for a newly built modern building outside Hepingmen.
To this end, Chen Jingshu also specially hired a well-known international designer to be in charge of the museum's design.
They measured the dimensions last month and paid a seven-figure deposit.
However, since Lin Yujing had to attend an art exhibition awards ceremony last time, she explained the design requirements to Chen Jingshu, who then relayed them to the designer.
During this meeting, she will be able to discuss the details with the designer face-to-face.
The two parties agreed to meet directly at the art museum. As soon as the handsome blond-haired, blue-eyed designer saw Lin Yujing, he enthusiastically stepped forward and greeted her in broken Chinese, saying, "Hello, Mrs. Chen."
Lin Yujing was slightly taken aback, "Mrs. Chen?"
Just then, Chen Jingshu arrived and walked quickly toward her, saying, "Long time no see, little A-Jing."
Lin Yujing glared at him reproachfully and asked, "Mrs. Chen, what do you mean?"
Chen Jingshu rolled his eyes a few times, then touched her nose with a roguish grin and said, "Isn't it easy to understand such literal words?"
"Mrs. Chen, naturally means Mrs. Chen Jingshu."
A note from the author:
Chen Jingshu, a man who loves to tease his wife.
Lin Yujing is a woman who loves to engage in emotional tug-of-war with her husband.
