CHAPTER XXXV
Lin Junnan stood in front of Cheng Weimin's sickbed a little stiffly, not knowing what the chairman wanted to say to him. Under Cheng Weimin's repeated instructions, he carefully sat on the chair that Zhou Keming had just sat on.
Cheng Weimin looked at Lin Junnan with a kind face, and said slowly: "Xiaolin, it's been more than half a year since you came to Ningxing, haven't you? I haven't talked to you seriously!
"Chairman, you should pay more attention to rest! If you need me to do anything, you can just tell me!" Lin Junnan's nervousness at the moment he was called into the ward had been eliminated.
"You answer me honestly, do you like Yiyi?"
Cheng Weimin's question was so abrupt and direct that Lin Junnan was not prepared for anything, and his thinking instantly became chaotic, only staring at the weak man on the sickbed in front of him stupidly.
"Tell me the truth, do you like Yiyi?" asked Cheng Weimin again.
Chairman ...... You ......" Lin Junnan didn't know how to say it.
In all fairness, after returning to Ningjiang, Lin Junnan has not let go of Sissi in his heart. Even after meeting Yiyi, he hasn't quite found his feelings for her. Although Yiyi brought him a kind of freshness and sunshine, and he was willing to integrate into this new world, if he was asked if he had fallen in love or fell in love with this girl, he really couldn't tell.
"Actually, Yiyi likes you very much!" Cheng Weimin said with a wry smile, "I don't know why she fell in love with you! I remember one day, Yiyi suddenly told me that she met a handsome guy in a coffee house called Yule - that is, you! Of course, Yiyi felt that you were just polite to her. She said that she had fallen in love with you at first sight, but she couldn't find a chance to have a relationship with you, so she begged me to invite you to Ningxing, so that she would have time to be with you...... Of course, the premise is that you can't suffer a loss!"
Lin Junnan was dumbfounded when he heard this-it turned out that he was all tinkering behind Ning Xing's back! Thinking of his Yule Cafe, which had silently died down within a few months of opening, he didn't feel good in his heart, but now that he knew the reason, he felt like he had been tricked...... But when you think about it, Yiyi is good to herself after all, and that extraordinary closeness is already showing her attitude. Moreover, his position in Ning Xing is not low, and his salary is not thin, even if he complains, it is not easy to attack.
"Yiyi's mother died early," Cheng Weimin continued, "I was the only one who loved and pampered her from childhood to adulthood. But she is not a headstrong child, and many times she can understand things. Originally, she had already obtained a master's degree from the University of Maryland in the United States, and in order to let her develop abroad, I set up a company and purchased a property for her in Australia, but this girl didn't want to say anything, she had to come back to accompany me! Alas......" Cheng Weimin sighed, and a line of tears rolled out of the corners of his eyes.
Lin Junnan didn't know what to say at this time. Cheng Weimin's speech was like an invisible hand, stirring in his chest......
"Xiaolin, please answer me seriously, can you accept Yiyi?"
"I ...... I didn't think about it...... Yiyi is a very good girl!she, she should be able to find a better boyfriend......" Lin Junnan said incoherently, and as soon as the words came out, he regretted it - he suddenly realized that he actually liked Yiyi a little, but Sissi's shadow still occupied his consciousness, so that Yiyi's appearance was just like a cloud he encountered on the road.
Cheng Weimin seemed to see Lin Junnan's thoughts, and he said: "Yiyi is very serious about you!"
"Chairman, even if I say that I like Yiyi, and even I can promise you that I will always make Yiyi happy, but how can you believe me?!" Lin Junnan said hesitantly. Although he was not sure that he would be able to get together with Yiyi, he did not want the dying man to have regrets in the last moments of his life.
"I believe in Yiyi's judgment! And I can also see that you are a young man with great potential! As long as you go down to earth, you will definitely succeed!" Cheng Weimin said approvingly.
“......”
"In addition, I have a reluctant request...... Cheng Weimin looked a little melancholy, "Ningxing Group is almost half my life's work, I don't want it to collapse, please help Yiyi, you must support Ningxing!"
"Chairman, you better recuperate with peace of mind first, I will do my best to help Yiyi with Ning Xing's matter!"
"Then I'll hand Yiyi over to you!" Cheng Weimin stretched out a hand to Lin Junnan with difficulty, and the latter hurriedly stretched out his hands and held it tightly. "Thank you, Xiaolin!" Cheng Weimin's face showed a satisfied smile, "You go back to the company first, and call Yiyi in by the way when you go out......"
Cheng Weimin was very happy. He told Yiyi in detail about the conversation with Lin Junnan, and said that he would arrange the marriage for them immediately.
Although Yiyi was happy, she was still a little apprehensive in her heart. She knew that Lin Junnan must have felt a little abrupt, after all, she was still not sure if he was interested in her, and her father was so weak that he couldn't afford to worry too much. So, she lay on her father's chest and said that she didn't want to get married right now, and she would wait until her father was discharged from the hospital. But Cheng Weimin insisted on getting married for his daughter, saying that this was his life's greatest wish. Yiyi really couldn't resist her father, so she said that she would ask Lin Junnan in person, if Lin Junnan was really willing to marry her, then she would definitely meet her father's wishes.
After coming out of the hospital, Yiyi immediately called Lin Junnan, she really wanted to talk to him face-to-face.
Although Yiyi has a deep love for Lin Junnan in her heart, she doesn't know his attitude. In the previous contact between the two, he didn't show the slightest affection to her, why did he suddenly admit to his father today that he liked him? And it caused his father to rush to handle the marriage for them! She didn't want Lin Junnan to be reluctant for her father.
"Is what you told my dad true?" As soon as she met Lin Junnan, Yiyi asked him straight to the point.
"Y-What do you mean?"
"You told him you liked me?!"
"......" Lin Junnan was speechless for a while.
Yiyi saw Lin Junnan's appearance, and his heart suddenly became half cold. She was silent for a moment, and then muttered: "Lin Junnan, what my father said is true! I like you very much! I asked my father to buy that piece of land, and then invited you to Ningxing—he always satisfies me like this without asking for reasons! Although, I hope I can get your attention, and I hope you like me too, but I really don't want you to say things against your will for my father...... I know he's forcing you to take a stand!"
"Yiyi, listen to me......" Lin Junnan said slowly, "I used to have a girlfriend in Shenzhen, but then we broke up...... I went back to Ningjiang to completely forget about her. Actually, since I first met you, I've liked you from the bottom of my heart, it's just ...... It's just that I can't forget her yet...... I'm so sorry! Today your dad suddenly asked me like that, and I don't know how to answer. I—I really don't want to disappoint him......"
"I guessed! Thank you!" Yiyi lowered her head and fiddled with the corners of her clothes with her hands, "But, my dad is serious! He said that he would marry us immediately, what should I do now? Don't talk about you, even I am not ready......
"Ah?!Your father, he wants us to get married right away??...... so soon" Lin Junnan also had no idea.
Yiyi raised her head and looked at Lin Junnan with pleading eyes, her voice trembling slightly: "I'm afraid my dad won't be long...... You—Can you help me?"
"You mean, we're really married?"
"I think this must be my father's greatest wish! Since he is so insistent, it is better to ...... I thought it would be better to give him his wish first, so that he could feel at ease...... So I want to beg you to help me. As for the future, if you don't want to be with me, I will agree to your divorce at any time......"
"Yiyi, this is not a trivial matter! Can you allow me to think about it for a few more days? At the very least, I want to discuss it with my parents......
"Of course, I'll have to discuss it with your parents! I can't do anything against your parents' wishes for my father's sake! Or ...... Shall I go with you to my uncle and aunt?"
"You better let me think about it for myself first, it's all too sudden......" Lin Junnan finished speaking and left silently.
