Chapter 21: The Ghost Lingers
From Lin Yanqiao's eyes, Luo Zongjin could see that she knew that person.
And what's the story?
"Go, today's charity auction is cancelled, and I don't want to hear anyone talk about it tomorrow."
After Luo Zongjin finished telling the secretary, he ordered the bodyguards to take people to the upstairs suite.
looked at Lin Yanqiao, who was still stunned in place.
Luo Zongjin's face was gloomy, and his eyebrows were tightly wrinkled: "Do you want to go up and make it clear, you decide." ”
"You don't care."
Lin Yanqiao pushed Luo Zongjin away in a trance, and walked out with messy steps.
"Mr. Luo, do you want to send someone to follow?"
"I'll go myself."
Out of the hotel, Lin Yanqiao walked along the side of the road, bowing his head very slowly.
Rong Hao, the person who helped her when she first arrived in the United States, was gentlemanly, elegant, and considerate, taught her to communicate with the locals, and took her into the Chinese circle.
It can be said that without Rong Hao, there would be no current Lin Yanqiao.
At first, she thought that Rong Hao was single, so she let her relationship develop, and Rong Hao didn't mind that she had children.
Later, just when she was completely in love, she found a family photo in Rong Hao's residence.
Exactly like the photo on the woman's mobile phone, Rong Hao smiled very gently.
When she saw that photo, she had envied Rong Hao's wife, and she must have been a happy and gentle woman.
Now, I finally see it.
It was getting late and late, and Lin Yanqiao gradually walked to a place where no one was.
At this time, the defense and tension in her heart were put down, and she sat on the bench, covered her face with her hands, and couldn't help but cry softly.
As soon as she cried, Luo Zongjin's heart tugged.
After getting out of the car, he slowly walked to Lin Yanqiao and handed over a cup of hot milk tea he had just bought.
"It's cold, beware of colds."
At this moment, Luo Zongjin's gentle voice was like a warm breeze.
Lin Yanqiao glanced through his fingers, dragged the corner of the man's clothes and buried his head in it and cried, his shoulders trembled, and his slender fingers grabbed his coat tightly.
Luo Zongjin's heart was touched, and he couldn't help but stroke her hair with one hand.
He seemed to be able to feel her grievances from the cry, and those things about that were the sore spots that Lin Yanqiao didn't want to mention.
It took a long time for Lin Yanqiao to calm down.
She wiped the tears from her eyes and exhaled to go out: "If you want to know something, just ask." ”
Luo Zongjin frowned at her with concern, and sat down on the side: "If you don't want to say, I won't ask." ”
"But you'll investigate, right?" Lin Yanqiao turned his head, his eyes still shrouded in a faint mist.
Luo Zongjin lit a cigarette and spit out the smoke ring sadly.
He was very curious, and the secretary would also ponder his thoughts, and it was estimated that an investigation had already been launched.
"Sneer......"
Lin Yanqiao chuckled, his crimson lips opened a wry smile, and then he slowly began to speak.
"That man's name is Rong Hao, the man I helped me when I was in the United States, we used to love each other, but after knowing that he had a family, I decisively broke off contact, and it didn't take long for me to hear Eric say that Rong Hao committed suicide."
"When this incident first happened, I blamed myself and wondered if Rong Hao was because of me, I was almost depressed during that time, but fortunately, I had Eric's guidance."
She took a sip of coffee, pressed her eyebrows tiredly, and continued in a low voice: "After so many years, I thought that thing would dissipate over time, but I didn't expect it...... I didn't expect his wife to come to the door like this. ”
Has she ever been in love with someone else?
If he hadn't heard this, Luo Zongjin might have been angry.
But looking at him, Lin Yanqiao was so sad and sad, he couldn't get angry, and his heart hurt badly.
Luo Zongjin reached over to smooth the bow on her eyebrows, but when he touched it, he suddenly withdrew it.
Lin Yanqiao smiled bitterly: "I understand, you should be very shocked, I was submissive at the beginning, and I may have a life on my back." ”
As he spoke, Lin Yanqiao stood up and pretended to be relaxed: "Let's go." ”
After saying the words that had been suppressed in his heart for many years, Lin Yanqiao thought that he would be more relaxed.
But seeing that Luo Zongjin didn't say a word, she felt even more depressed.
After so many years, she thought she could live a frank life, but who knows, the darkness will come again.
......
The venue of the charity party was in the suburbs, Lin Yanqiao walked alone for a long time, and he didn't get a car, and just called the secretary, he heard the horn behind him.
Then Luo Zong's subwoofer-like voice came: "Get in the car and send you home." ”
"Don't bother Mr. Luo, my secretary will come to pick me up." She kept going.
"Get in the car!"
Luo Zong got out of the car and caught up.
"I said no trouble!"
"I said get in the car!" Luo Zongjin stretched out his hand to pull her, but Lin Yanqiao suddenly became angry: "I said no, can you not bother...... Hmmm......"
Before he finished speaking, his mouth was gagged.
Luo Zong's dark and deep eyes were close in front of him, and the faint mint flavor and wine aroma were mixed between his lips and teeth, and Lin Yanqiao was confused.
subconsciously wanted to push the man away, but the more he kissed, the deeper he kissed.
Luo Zongjin's kiss was sweet and soft.
At first, Lin Yanqiao refused, but after letting go, she suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.
Luo Zong touched his lower lip, lowered his head and laughed lightly: "Let's go, send you home." ”
"No, my secretary has arrived."
When the words landed, Lin Yanqiao slipped into Secretary Sun's car.
Looking at the back of the car leaving, Luo Zong's close hand subconsciously touched his mouth again, feeling ...... It's pretty good.
In the car, Secretary Sun hesitated and struggled for a long time before he couldn't help but speak:
"Manager Lin, ...... just now"
"What?"
Lin Yanqiao touched his slightly hot face and leaned against the window: "You didn't see anything." ”
"Yes, I didn't see anything, I promise to shut up." Secretary Sun made a gesture to seal his mouth.
Seeing the situation, Lin Yanqiao smiled shallowly.
She didn't know why, she clearly had no feelings for Luo Zongjin, but that kiss inexplicably made her feel at ease.
......
The next day, Lin Yanqiao had a fever.
When she woke up, Lin Tong was looking at her quietly with her chin in her hands, and her dark eyes sometimes looked at the sky, sometimes at her, which was very funny.
Lin Yanqiao sneered and laughed, and asked in a dumb voice, "What are you doing?" ”
"Mommy, you're awake."
Lin Tong became happy, folded his hands and silently recited two sentences on his chest, and said with a smile: "Grandma said that chanting can make my mother wake up quickly, God is really useful, when I have the opportunity, I must thank this grandfather in person." ”
"Bah, whatever, whatever."
God is also a kind of grandfather?
Lin Yanqiao was silently talking in his heart, Zhong Xiu was teaching the children indiscriminately, and Zhong Xiu had already walked in with ginger soup.
"You, you can't take care of yourself when you're so old, how can you take care of your son?"
She smiled slightly: "It's just that I accidentally caught a cold." ”
"Accidentally? Your fever hasn't gone away now. Zhong Xiu handed her the ginger soup, took the forehead thermometer again, measured the temperature and put it in front of her: "Look, thirty-eight degrees three, not careful?" ”
"Huh? That's so high. ”
Lin Yanqiao pretended to be stupid: "But I don't feel bad, it must be that the thermometer is broken." ”
Zhong Xiu: "......"
For this daughter, Zhong Xiu's nagging is nagging, but it is distressing from the bottom of her heart.
Zhong Xiu felt that her daughter's life was not easy.
"By the way, Mom, don't teach Hitomi those superstitious things in the future."
Without waiting for Zhong Xiu to reply, Lin Tong took her hand and said innocently curiously: "Mommy, what is superstition?" ”
Lin Yanqiao was defeated.
On this day, Lin Yanqiao fell asleep in bed, and it wasn't until after Lin Tong fell asleep at night that Zhong Xiu came to her.
"What happened last night? Did anyone mention Rong Hao to you again? ”
Lin Yanqiao waved his hand: "Mom, don't listen to the gossip outside." ”
"What gossip? You had a fever last night in a daze, said it yourself. ”
Well?
She thought that her mother had heard the rumors outside, who would have thought that Luo Zong had sent someone to extinguish those rumors a long time ago.
For the next few days, it was quiet.
On this day, Lin Yanqiao took the initiative to invite Luo Zongjin to dinner.
"What? Take the initiative to reciprocate? Luo Zongjin's voice was low and a little hoarse.
"Mr. Luo is not feeling well?"
Seeing that Luo Zong was wilting, his face was not very good.
Luo Zong tugged at his tie to let himself breathe more and cheer up: "I just didn't sleep well last night." ”
If you don't sleep well, your voice will be hoarse?
Could it be that she is sick like her, right?
Lin Yanqiao didn't ask much, and after ordering the food neatly, he personally poured a glass of wine and drank it all.
Luo Zongjin was a little curious: "So direct? ”
Lin Yanqiao poured himself another glass, and a professional smile tugged at the side of his lips: "Mr. Luo, thank you for helping to suppress those scandals and Rong Hao's wife, I invite you to dinner today, I hope you forget the events of that night, including ......"
She lifted her bangs a little embarrassed and continued: "Including that kiss ......"
Luo Zong squinted at her for a long time and smiled, "What if I refuse?" ”
"I hope Mr. Luo cooperates."
Lin Yanqiao changed his sitting posture and said, "I don't think Mr. Luo wants others to know that I am your ex-wife." ”
"Why not?"
Luo Zongjin stretched out his hand and pointed at her with a gesture like introducing a friend: "You are now the general manager of the marketing department of an international large enterprise, although you are not as good as me, but you are enough to stand side by side with me, will I feel ashamed?" ”
"Mr. Luo, we haven't had anything to do with each other for a long time, since we've been separated for a few years, why are we entangled now? Don't you feel tired? ”
Tired......
Lin Yanqiao didn't want to deal with those things about love anymore.
She was exhausted, and now she only wanted to protect Zhong Xiu and Lin Tong well.
Luo Zongjin felt impatience from her emotions, and his lazy eyes gradually deepened.
He stared at Lin Yanqiao, his gaze cold: "Why is this all of a sudden?" ”
"It's not all too sudden, it's always been like this."
The corners of Lin Yanqiao's lips were always filled with a detached smile: "I am not the same kind of person as Mr. Luo, I am self-aware, returning to China is a last resort, I just hope to live quietly." ”
Luo Zongjin's eyes sank to the bottom: "Then why do you take the initiative to send it to the door after returning to China?" ”
"I didn't." Lin Yanqiao pressed his eyebrows tiredly, too lazy to continue to explain to Luo Zongjin, put down a credit card and got up to leave.
"Lin Yanqiao, you stop for me!"
No matter what station to stand, Lin Yanqiao is too late to escape now.
She drove away quickly, and only dared to stop when she was far away.
But in less than two seconds, the car window was knocked: "Lin Yanqiao, you get out of the car for me, make it clear." ”
Lin Yanqiao: "......"
Why does this man stay ghostly?
She didn't understand what was good about herself, so Luo Zong was still chasing after many years.
"Get out of the car!" Luo Zongjin knocked on the door again to warn: "If you don't come down, our cooperation will end!" ”
Vile!
Lin Yanqiao had to get out of the car.
"Mr. Luo, don't involve personal feelings in business, OK?"
