Xiao Zheng's words were too obvious and intrusive. Even an ordinary woman would probably hesitate over and over again, unable to put down her pride and directly answer, let alone a female CEO like Lin Huayin who had few desires.
However, after Xiao Zheng's unscrupulous question, Lin Huayin did not deny it. Instead, she asked expressionlessly, "Are you afraid?"
Xiao Zheng did not expect Lin Huayin to counterattack. His expression changed slightly and he grinned. "What's there to be afraid of?"
"Then what are you worried about?" Lin Huayin approached him step by step.
"I just feel that it's a little abrupt." Xiao Zheng shook his head gently to hide the embarrassment in his heart.
"Don't you think it's abrupt to break into my house in the middle of the night? Don't you think it's abrupt to stay in my room? "Lin Huayin said sharply. "Now you think it's abrupt?"
Xiao Zheng immediately covered his mouth and was speechless. However, he still wanted to save face and retorted, "You worry too much. I can even coax your mother, why would I be afraid of meeting your father? When are you going back? I'm going to pack my luggage and buy some gifts for my father-in-law. "
Lin Huayin's provocation had achieved the desired effect, but she did not stop while she was ahead. Instead, she looked at Xiao Zheng's sloppy appearance and said indifferently, "If you dare to call him father-in-law in front of him, do you believe that he will cut your tongue?"
Xiao Zheng retracted his tongue and asked cautiously, "Is your father that fierce?"
"He has never been a good man." Lin Huayin said noncommittally. In the end, she added another sentence. "Not for many years."
Once upon a time.
Lin Chaotian was a talented and ambitious young man, but he had always lived in the Lin Family's mansion and was scolded behind his back for living off a woman. It was not until his mother became a monk out of anger that Lin Chaotian rose to prominence at an astonishing speed and became the hottest business tycoon in Beijing. Attending upper-class banquets, greeting high-ranking officials as brothers and exchanging toasts.
But in Lin Huayin's heart, although her father did not live a glorious life in the first thirty years, and was even mocked and scolded by outsiders, he was the greatest and kindest father in the world. Unlike now, with countless halos shrouding his head, he was no longer the father in her childhood memories.
Although the current Lin Chaotian was noble, majestic, and able to make countless people lose everything and turn them into ashes with just a few words. However, he was very different from the image of a father in Lin Huayin's heart.
"I'm a man. Especially a successful man like your father. If you're as softhearted as I am, you're not bold enough. Wouldn't they be swallowed by others until not even dregs were left? "Xiao Zheng smiled in understanding. "You don't have to scare me. If we're going to meet sooner or later, then there's no time like the present. Let's meet on the Mid-Autumn Festival. "
"Oh right …"
Before Lin Huayin could speak, Xiao Zheng added with a strange expression, "Your father is so rich. He'll probably give me a big red packet for our first meeting, right?"
Lin Huayin's expression turned cold as she frowned and said, "Aren't you afraid that his money will be too hot for you to accept?"
Xiao Zheng's expression turned serious as he said in a deep voice, "For money, I can give up everything, including a man's pride!"
Lin Huayin glanced at Xiao Zheng and finally lowered her head. She said faintly, "I have to work."
"Do what you need to do, I won't disturb you." Xiao Zheng refilled his cigarette and changed to a more comfortable position, as if he was going to take an afternoon nap here.
Lin Huayin, whose mood gradually calmed down, no longer cared whether Xiao Zheng was sitting in front of her, calmly approving documents and making headaches one after another.
After two hours of high-pressure work, Lin Huayin stretched her slightly stiff neck, only to find that Xiao Zheng had fallen asleep on the chair. His mouth was slightly open, and he smacked his lips from time to time. He should be having a wonderful dream.
She raised her hand to look at the time. It was already past five o 'clock, close to six o' clock. According to Xiao Zheng's working hours, he should get off work at four o 'clock, but he accompanied her for nearly two hours. With that in mind, Lin Huayin casually rolled up a paper ball and threw it at Xiao Zheng's face.
"Ugh …"
Xiao Zheng, who was sleeping soundly, woke up slightly. He looked at Lin Huayin with sleepy eyes and muttered, "Are you done?"
"Yes," Lin Huayin said faintly. "Are you hungry?"
"Not really." Xiao Zheng sat up slowly, stretched his body, and smiled heartlessly. "I just had a Manchu Han Imperial Feast with Her Majesty in my dream. Now that I think about it, I'm quite happy."
"It's unrealistic to dream," Lin Huayin said as she rose to her feet. "Didn't you say that there's a new Korean barbecue restaurant nearby? Let's go, it's my treat. "
"Sure." Xiao Zheng nodded with a smile and opened the door, only to realize that Lin Huayin was in no hurry to come out. That's right. Their relationship had to be kept a secret. They couldn't walk side by side in the company. He smiled and said to Lin Huayin, who was pacing around the office, "I'll wait for you in the parking lot."
"Hmm." Lin Huayin nodded slightly in agreement.
It was already seven o 'clock at night when they finally arrived at the Korean barbecue restaurant that Xiao Zheng had specified. It was the height of summer, and the sky was still dark at seven o 'clock in Mingzhu. But it was already autumn, and the weather was getting colder. Even when Lin Huayin was still working, the sky was already as dark as ink, let alone seven o 'clock.
The two of them chose a window seat with a good view. Xiao Zheng ordered four to five meat dishes in a row and a bowl of fresh tofu soup. Only then did he ask Lin Huayin with a smile, "What wine would you like to drink?"
"Soju," Lin Huayin said calmly.
"Two bottles of soju, please." Xiao Zheng smiled and handed the menu to the waiter.
The night view of Mingzhu was beautiful. The evening lights were on, and the traffic outside the window was bustling and bustling. Xiao Zheng squinted at the bright window across the road that was as small as a soybean. He couldn't help but lament, "Living in a big city is really stressful. It's already seven o 'clock. So many office buildings are still lit. "
"There's less stress in a small city, but so are the opportunities," Lin Huayin said bluntly. "There's a big gap between you and your dreams."
Xiao Zheng was slightly stunned. He never thought that Lin Huayin, who was born with a silver spoon in her mouth, would say something that clearly didn't match her identity.
Opportunities? Dreams?
To put it bluntly, the moment Lin Huayin was born, she had more than many people could dream of in a hundred lifetimes.
"What's your dream?" Xiao Zheng looked at Lin Huayin curiously.
Under the light, Lin Huayin's fair and beautiful face was especially attractive. Even though it was cold, it was cold and refined, high and mighty.
In response to Xiao Zheng's question, Lin Huayin took a sip of water. Her gaze was slightly lowered, but she said very calmly, "Better than her."
