Here, indeed, is a good place to talk, without the worry of reporters sneaking in.
Unless that person could really fly!
——Could that be another possibility?
——What?
——Isn't his sister thinking about your husband? He must be doing this for her! Just think, he's been doing these things every day, maybe to win you over, get you to divorce Li Yanan, and then... unite him with his sister again?
The conversation with Yao Lemon from yesterday instantly ca to mind.
Seeing Lin Zhenxin's gaze fall on him, He Bainian's lips curled slightly.
The warm sunlight fell on him, and his smile oddly lted the serious expression he usually wore.
"He Bainian, don't you think your thods are really ridiculous?"
As soon as Lin Zhenxin spoke, the smile on He Bainian's lips froze stiffly.
He didn't understand what she ant, but he could clearly see the mockery and detachnt in her eyes.
When would she smile at him the way she does at Li Yanan?
Perhaps from the very beginning, he shouldn't have said those words...
Insincere...
I don't like you!
"I don't understand what you're talking about." He Bainian invited her over after seeing those reports.
Actually, it was also seeing in the report the yellow roses tossed in the trash, feeling sowhat...
A taste hard to describe.
On the Japanese table was a plate of prepared fruit, He Bainian saw her sit down and pushed the fruit plate in front of Lin Zhenxin.
"Fresh strawberries." He saw her buying them in the supermarket last ti.
"He Bainian, why do I always feel like when you're being nice to , you're calculating sothing in your mind?"
Lin Zhenxin spoke bluntly; she didn't want to think so narrowly, but He Bainian...
She really didn't know if his kindness was genuine or just a front!
He Bainian's hand, pushing the strawberries, stiffened, from the mont she ca in, she had been full of hostility.
"I just wanted you to try the strawberries here, grown by an elderly gentleman himself, very fresh, much better than those in the supermarket."
Hearing his words, Lin Zhenxin couldn't help but lower her head, looking at the luscious strawberries.
The fruity aroma was indeed rich, one could sll the scent of strawberries from afar.
This made her, a fruit lover, a bit... unable to resist.
With a dry cough, Lin Zhenxin reached out, took one, and popped it into her mouth, just to give him so face and give it a try.
She simply didn't believe he could poison her just for his sister's sake?
As soon as the strawberry entered her mouth, the sweet and fresh taste instantly filled her taste buds, it was so delicious it felt like one might swallow their tongue!
"This ti, I was careless, not expecting to bring you such a big trouble, I'm very sorry."
He Bainian's voice was deep, with a natural magnetism to it.
"Trouble? Isn't that your aim? Approaching ti after ti in front of Yanan is also to cause trouble between us, isn't it?"
Upon hearing his apology, Lin Zhenxin could only find it amusing.
Perhaps it was Yao Lemon's words that predisposed her to think this way, now when she looked at He Bainian, she felt he was calculating.
"I admit, I have thought that way, but..." He Bainian spoke slowly, as if to let Lin Zhenxin hear clearly.
But after 'but...' he didn't know how to continue.
But what? But he hadn't done it?
No, in fact, he had done it with ulterior motives.
He couldn't possibly say but he hadn't!
If not said, then how else could he start?
He Bainian had never felt so restless, had he trapped himself into a dead end?
"But what? Do you dare say you never had such thoughts?" Lin Zhenxin asked with a smile.
Today she wore a beige turtleneck sweater, and took off her coat as she ca inside.
Now sitting opposite He Bainian, he found it hard to take his eyes off her.
He Bainian was silent for a long ti.
"He Bainian, I know you care for your sister, maybe in He Nuoxin's eyes, you're a good brother! I believe, just that point is enough for you, so all your sches have been aid at as if I'm a stumbling block..."
Lin Zhenxin tried to compose herself to calmly talk with him.
"I didn't..."
"Do you think that when I refused that cheque, I was not being sensible?"
If he wanted to say he hadn't sched against her? She didn't believe it, just from what she knew, there were several tis?
He Bainian was speechless, he couldn't deny it because he had indeed used her to suppress Li Yanan, and he had done it!
But now he wasn't...
The feelings he had for Lin Zhenxin were complicated enough to leave He Bainian... utterly confused!
Wherever she was, she caught his attention first.
Even trivial matters would trouble him for half a day.
Her misunderstandings about him were too deep, leaving him clueless on how to explain!
He Bainian suddenly felt as if he was suffering from his own actions!
"I hope today is the last ti such a thing happens, from now on, no matter what you do... I'll treat you as a stranger!"
After saying this, Lin Zhenxin stood up, clearly ready to leave.
The next mont, her wrist was suddenly grabbed by He Bainian!
Strangers?
Like the kind of strangers who only exchange polite greetings?
No!
Absolutely not!
Lin Zhenxin looked down, with a perplexed gaze at the large hand holding her wrist.
What did he an?
He Bainian frowned, his gaze fixed intently on Lin Zhenxin.
In a flash, he seed to think of sothing...
Inside the Mountain View Villa, the study.
Li Yanan was video conferencing with people on the other end of the computer, it was a small private eting.
The screen switched between a three-way conversation.
One was in J City, one in Hong Kong, and one in Macao.
"So, you're actually married?"
It was a handso man speaking, Jin Muchi, currently in Macao.
The slim-fitting silver-gray shirt perfectly showcased his physique.
"Yes." Li Yanan raised his hand, revealing the ring.
"Congratulations." Jiang Dongting, in a deep black, impeccably tailored suit, expressionless, simply said.
"Just rember to deposit the cash gift to my account." Li Yanan was as direct as he could be.
"Alright, fill in any amount you like." Jiang Dongting's expression was slightly fatigued.
"But there's sothing I need you to help with."
"You're going to talk about Chu Xingguang." Li Yanan stated rather than questioned.
"Yes, look after Chu Xingguang and Little Qilin for , once I return from Danang, I'll go to J City."
Jiang Dongting's gaze was deep; when Chu Xingguang was ntioned, both Li Yanan and Jin Muchi remained silent.
She was soone dear to him, untouchable and sacred.
"Dongting. If you're so reluctant, why did you..."
Jin Muchi originally wanted to say why did you let things reach a point of no return?
But when Jiang Dongting's gaze swept over, Jin Muchi chose silence.
Jiang Dongting was older than Li Yanan and Jin Muchi, naturally, he was their eldest brother.
These affairs of the heart, if he didn't see through them himself, no one could intervene!
"I understand, rest assured, they seem well... but..."
Li Yanan recalled Chu Xingguang's prominently raised belly, it seed like Xun Chen hadn't inford Jiang Dongting yet.
Otherwise, how could he still sit here doing a video call with them?
"You better hurry, otherwise... ti waits for no man!"
Li Yanan fiddled with the ring, hinting at sothing, Jin Muchi detected the oddity, his expression rather intriguing.
In contrast, Jiang Dongting's face was stern, distracted.
"Getting down to business, in a while, we'd better et in Danang, this developnt project is a bit tricky, and the local Vietnase boss isn't pleased with our approach, I'll head to Danang first, but I'm afraid there might be changes!"
Jiang Dongting's gaze was icy cold, Li Yanan and Jin Muchi exchanged a glance...
In all their years together, it was rare to hear the word 'tricky' from Jiang Dongting.
Precisely for this reason, what he called 'tricky' truly deserved to be called so!
"Alright, I'll make arrangents, can set off in four days at the latest." Jin Muchi spoke first.
"I'll depart within a week, but... I might bring Zhenxin along."
It's just unsure if Zhenxin had a passport, if not, it might delay a few days.
"I am truly curious about this 'Lin Zhenxin', it would be great to et in person."
Jin Muchi's thin lips curled slightly, but before he finished speaking, he kicked forward, and his smile froze.
Only to see Jin Muchi lower his head, instantly raging!
"Xiang Xiaokui, get out from under the table!"
With a roar, Jin Muchi went offline!
"Brother." Now only Li Yanan and Jiang Dongting remained online.
Twisting the ring on his finger, Li Yanan suddenly spoke.
"Hmm?"
"Don't let trivial pride easily make you miss any good relationship."
"We aren't strangers." He Bainian suddenly spoke.
Lin Zhenxin was startled by his sudden words, montarily forgetting to pull her hand back.
"We aren't strangers." He looked up, stared into her eyes, and repeated.
Lin Zhenxin did not speak, unsure of what madness he was up to now.
The next second, He Bainian released her wrist and frantically searched his body for sothing yet found nothing.
"Wait for here, I'll be right back!" Speaking swiftly, He Bainian suddenly stood up.
The significant height difference made Lin Zhenxin instinctively take a step back, her gaze cautious.
A sudden gust of wind passed, and when Lin Zhenxin realized again, He Bainian had vanished!
She widened her eyes.
What is going on?
Inside the TV station.
Wearing sunglasses, Shelley anxiously waited outside the editing room.
She had a friend who worked there.
After another five minutes, her friend finally ca out.
"Is what you said on the phone true?" Shelley hurriedly stepped forward.
