As Pei Cheng guessed, Ling Yanchen's birthday gift seemed to have no "sincerity", it was a dazzling and somewhat cute pink diamond, but Yan Zhen still liked it very much, who made her such a layman, not to mention that there was a jar of cherry blossoms before, Ling Yanchen was already attentive enough for Yan Zhen.

This is the grandest birthday of Yan Zhen in all her previous life and this life combined, and if you really want to compare, it is probably more grand than the wedding held by ordinary people. However, to everyone's surprise, Yan Zhen was not recognized as a goddaughter by the Ling family at the birthday banquet as rumored.

Since his birthday, even if Ling Yanchen didn't talk to Yan Zhen openly and honestly, and Yan Zhen didn't give him a clear answer, the relationship between them has been tacit and gradually clear.

This morning, Ling Yanchen had just arrived at the company and called Yan Zhen as usual. He has always been a man of action, and when he has a plan, he is ready to start implementing it.

Although Yan Zhen was not at work, she got up earlier than when she was working, and just came back from walking her dog outside and was about to take a bath, when she received a call from Ling Yanchen.

Ling Yanchen turned on the computer and entered the boot password while talking to Yan Zhen, "Do you have time this afternoon?" ”

"What's the matter?" Yan Zhen fanned the wind with her hands, it was almost summer now, and when she came back from a walk outside, she was already sweating lightly.

"Well, do you remember Gao Jingshu's grandfather I mentioned to you? I promised to visit his old man's house, and I was going to come over after work today, and if you have time, come with me. ”

Yan Zhen couldn't help but be stunned. Although she basically acquiesced in her relationship with Ling Yanchen, she didn't expect that Ling Yanchen would take her to meet his respected elders so soon, and she didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Don't want to go?" Ling Yanchen waited for a while, but didn't see Yan Zhen's voice, and asked again.

Yan Zhen is not a hypocritical person, she only hesitated for a moment, and then said directly, "Do you think it is appropriate?" ”

"There's nothing out of place." Ling Yanchen's tone was very affirmative, "It's just a matter of time, or do you have other concerns?" You can tell me and we'll figure it out together. ”

In Ling Yanchen's life of more than 30 years, he has always wanted to do it. Now that he has been able to see the moon, he finally waited for Yan Zhen to get closer, and he didn't want her to take a step back. He would arrange everything, and he had to get her behind him before the worldly troubles came. He wanted Yan Zhen to know his determination.

Just how to believe it, what ethics and morality, it doesn't matter to him now, he got Yan Zhen's response, he is not willing to wait any longer, because years of experience have taught him that the more he waits, the easier it is to cause trouble.

If it weren't for some restraint, Ling Yanchen would have wanted to do nothing and just get the certificate with Yan Zhen first.

He knew that this was the best policy for him, and it was the best policy for Yan Zhen and the Yan family.

You can't be too greedy, Yan Zhen can accept him now, he should be content, and he can't get an inch and want to reach the sky in one step.

After all, Yan Zhen and Ling Yanchen had been together for so long, and she could naturally understand the meaning of what he said.

She knew that Ling Yanchen was such a person, if she didn't get close to him, it would be fine, once she let herself get close, Ling Yanchen would definitely not allow her to have other thoughts. This person seems to be gentle on the surface, but in fact he is very domineering.

Her determination and his heart were clear to her. Now that she's come this far, there's nothing she can hesitate about.

"No, I'm thinking about what I'm going to prepare." Yan Zhen found a reason at random.

Although Ling Yanchen was completely sure, he was still relieved to hear Yan Zhen answer like this, "I'm ready, you don't have to worry about these little things." ”

"Hmm." Yan Zhen's tone was calm, "Then I'll wait for you at home." ”

Ling Yanchen's eyes were full of smiles, he didn't answer immediately, he was silent for a while before he said, "Okay, you wait for me." ”

The Ling family basically knew more or less about the affairs between Ling Yanchen and Yan Zhen, but fortunately, Ling Yanchen's image of "doing his best" for the Ling family for many years was too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and even Mrs. Ling couldn't bear to stop it, so there was no resistance within the family.

After taking care of the Ling family, Ling Yanchen was ready to slowly start releasing some information to the outside world. It was in his plan to take Yan Zhen to see Grandpa Gao, otherwise he would not have specially introduced Yan Zhen to Gao Jingshu before.

Gaojia is located in the east of the city, facing water on three sides, and the environment is elegant.

Ling Yanchen, as a distinguished guest of the Gao family, wanted to come to visit, and basically all the people in the Gao family came, and Gao Jingshu even brought Pei Yunyi as well.

The Gao family had a lot of speculations in their hearts about Ling Yanchen bringing Yan Zhen here, but they were all calm on the surface.

The Gao family, who can mix well in S City, if he doesn't even have this bit of psychological quality and eyesight, he won't be where he is now.

Everyone present knew what Ling Yanchen meant, if it wasn't for the woman he identified, he wouldn't have brought him to participate in this kind of occasion, so everyone reciprocated Yan Zhen with the same respect and enthusiasm.

Grandpa Gao looked very happy, he was full of silver hair, but his eyes were still sharp, he looked at Yan Zhen, and said happily, "I thought I saw the lady when I was young." "For Grandpa Gao, Madame is the deceased old lady of the Ling family.

In fact, Yan Zhen and Old Madam Ling are not like each other at all, but who knows, who cares, just by virtue of Grandpa Gao's words, it is enough to show the position of the Gao family.

You must know that the Gao family and Grandpa Gao have always been die-hard followers of the Ling family, and Ling Yanchen, as the head of the Ling family of this generation, no matter what decision he makes, the Gao family will express their full support. This is also an important reason why Ling Yanchen regards the Gao family as his first stop to the outside world.

Pei Yunyi was silent, he watched the entire Gao family flattering Ling Yanchen and Yan Zhen, and he was disgusted and disdainful in his heart, but now he could only endure it for the time being. From the reaction of the Gao family, he understood one thing, Ling Yanchen and the Ling family were not at all what he could compete with now, and his little tricks that were not worth mentioning before were just that Ling Yanchen didn't want to see him in general.

Gao Jingshu didn't know if she knew about Pei Yunyi's holiday with the Ling family, as if she had inadvertently reminded her, "Yunyi, I know that you are a smart person, and smart people should not do stupid things." The Ling family is the benefactor of our Gao family, my grandfather taught me since I was a child, as long as the Ling family needs help, we will be duty-bound, of course, if someone is unfavorable to the Ling family, it is also an enemy of my Gao family. ”

Pei Yunyi was silent for a moment, and then smiled, "I understand." ”

The emotions that were on the verge of exploding in the Gao family were barely suppressed, and after Pei Yunyi returned to the small apartment with Su Yiqiu, he could no longer suppress it. He vented all his emotions and said with great sarcasm, "It's all said that Ling Yanchen is so powerful, I don't think that's it." I don't know what people say is terrible, I don't know how to judge the situation, but I'm just a fool who is fascinated by a woman. In the final analysis, without the aura of the Ling family, he is an uninformed loser. Who is Yan Zhen, who in this circle doesn't know? It's good for him, not to mention the woman who likes his younger brother, and now he is openly taking it outside for others to watch the excitement, for fear that someone will not know about the scandal of his Ling family, which is obviously to make his relationship with Yan Zhen public, which is extremely stupid! ”

Su Yiqiu was silent, listening to Pei Yunyi's words, he didn't know why his heart was extremely sad.

can be liked by people like Ling Yanchen, what woman doesn't envy Yan Zhen? Ling Yanchen is in charge of the Ling family, and his methods are definitely not simple, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is scheming and the city government is extremely deep. But such a person is not afraid of gossip, ignoring the pointing behind others' backs, and not afraid of all kinds of difficulties that may be encountered later, and still wants everyone to know who he loves.

Yan Zhen is so happy. She got rid of Ling Yanyu, but she was cherished by Ling Yanchen without reservation.

When midsummer came, Ling Yanchen moved and moved to this building in Yan Zhen, which was just the top floor where the housing price was even more daunting.

The top floor is a split-level design with a larger area and most importantly a lap pool in the sky. If this is an open hotel, I am afraid it would have become a mecca for Internet celebrities to check in.

Yan Zhen visited Ling Yanchen's new house and found that there was a swimming pool that she liked, which made her envious.

It is a swimming pool in the summer and a hot spring in the winter, and the rich will really enjoy it! Yan Zhen instantly turned into lemon essence, and strongly suspected that Ling Yanchen was showing off her wealth in disguise!

Ling Yanchen was as calm as ever, watching Yan Zhen walk around the room, and kept muttering "Evil capitalists", he couldn't help but smile on his face.

Ling Yanchen leaned in front of the floor-to-ceiling window casually and said to Yan Zhen, "I found that you like swimming very much. ”

Yan Zhen turned her head, "Well, swimming is fun." ”

"Don't swim outside in the future." Ling Yanchen also recently discovered that Yan Zhen would go to the gym to swim almost every week. He didn't want to tell her directly, he didn't want her to swim outside, he didn't want others to see her beautifully, so he could only buy the top floor, just because there was a swimming pool, "You just come here to swim, someone will change the water every day to clean it to ensure that the water is clear and clean." ”

Yan Zhen was very surprised, "You shouldn't have moved here for this swimming pool, right?" ”

Ling Yanchen didn't speak, it was a tacit acquiescence.

Yan Zhen let out a long sigh, "Thank you." ”

"Thank me for what?"

Of course, thanks to this man like Aladdin's magic lamp, who can fulfill her every wish that has been fulfilled without saying anything.

That night, Yan Zhen came to swim. Ling Yanchen, who was supposed to work in the study, was confidently sitting by the pool with his computer on the grounds that the room was too stuffy.

Yan Zhen didn't care if anyone was present, she swam several laps in one breath before lying on the edge of the pool. It has a wide view, and you can not only see the night view of the city, but also enjoy the starry sky.

The water in the pool is sparkling in the night, and Yan Zhen is like a fish in the water, shuttling freely. Ling Yanchen would glance at the pool from time to time.

When Yan Zhen had swam enough, she walked out of the pool wet, and the next moment Ling Yanchen picked up a large bath towel and draped it over her. He stood behind Yan Zhen, put his hands on her shoulders, and gently and meticulously helped her wipe the water marks on her body.

"There's something I'd love to let you know right now." Yan Zhen's mellow voice came from Ling Yanchen's ears, and his breath felt slightly itchy.

"What's the matter?"

"Something I thought I would never let anyone else include you."

Yan Zhen quietly waited for the following.

Ling Yanchen used a gentle tone and beautiful words to describe the scene he saw when he went to close the window that night.

"The girls in the pool are very happy playing in the water, which is a little out of place with the atmosphere of the Ling family." A smile could be heard in Ling Yanchen's tone, "That window in the study, the window where you can see the swimming pool, for a long time, I didn't dare to walk over and open it again." ”

This kind of "don't dare" may be the only time in Ling Yanchen's thirty years of life that he "didn't dare".
