Over indulge

Chapter 21 Candlelight and Red Wine

Lin Jiayue, who was sitting in the car, had just finished answering Xu Ruining's phone call, her expression was a little frozen.

After a while, she said to Zhou Ji who was driving in the front seat: "That Zhou Ji, can I trouble you to drive a little slower, so that you don't have to rush back to Huxin Island."

Zhou Ji couldn't help but asked with a smile: "Is Miss Lin afraid of us Mr. Xu?"

"Where is it!" Lin Jiayue hurriedly retorted, but Zhou Ji, who had been with Xu Ruining and had seen through the storm, had already seen through it.

"Actually, Mr. Xu may not be as bad as you think. At least in terms of treating you, she is justifiably favored." Zhou Ji said, and... ahem, it was the first time I saw it that night President Xu hugged others in his arms and coaxed them.

"That may be because..." Lin Jiayue couldn't think of a rebuttal in the middle of her words.

What Xu Ruining's purpose is, she doesn't know.

Maybe it's because she spent so much money on her, even if it was a pet bought at a high price, she would feel sorry for it for a few days.

Lin Jiayue thought so in her heart.

Someone like Xu Ruining who is so powerful in the business world, and who is rumored to have blood on his hands, must not be easy to provoke.

If she was not careful, even her own life would be ruined in her hands.

Every time she thought of the conversation in the cemetery that day, Lin Jiayue couldn't help feeling chills down her back and her hairs standing on end.

Turning her head to look out of the window, Lin Jiayue's eyes lingered on the street scene on this road, knowing that she was getting closer and closer to that place, her heart became more and more uneasy, and her heart was beating violently.

On the other side, a car had already arrived at the courtyard of the central villa on Huxin Island. Xu Ruining, who was sitting in the car, guessed without seeing the other car, so he got out of the car and waited silently.

Aunt Chen immediately came out happily, took Xu Ruining's briefcase in, and said, "Mr. Xu came back early today, what a surprise, old man?"

Xu Ruining smiled calmly, and said calmly: "The company has nothing to do, so I came back early."

Seeing that Xu Ruining was still standing in the courtyard and did not intend to enter the house, Aunt Chen suddenly thought of something, and asked with a smile: "Is she waiting for Miss Lin to come back?"

Xu Ruining didn't hide anything, nodded and said, "Go and do your work, I'll wait for her here."

"Okay." Aunt Chen was about to turn around and go back to the house.

Xu Ruining called her again and said, "By the way, Aunt Chen, let the cooks rest today, and I will cook dinner."

Aunt Chen was very surprised: "Mr. Xu, are you going to make dinner yourself?"

Xu Ruining smiled slightly as if he had thought of something, and Aunt Chen also understood in an instant, so she didn't want to overdo it? Inquire, owe it? She leaned over and went into the room happily.

The car finally drove into the villa area of ​​Huxin Island, Lin Jiayue sighed in her heart, she couldn't escape, she couldn't hide.

Sooner or later it has to be faced.

"Hey, that seems to be Mr. Xu."

Zhou Ji's surprised voice caught Lin Jiayue's attention. The moment she raised her eyes, she happened to see a tall man standing at the door of the villa. Every time she saw this from a distance, Lin Jiayue couldn't help sighing in her heart, how could such a tall man stand in this world? Someone has such a well-proportioned body, such long hands, and such long legs.

Standing there, any posture looks like a magazine cover page. Even a neutral and indifferent professional attire can be worn with such a figure, with a natural hanger.

Zhou Ji didn't drive in the car very wisely, but parked in front of Xu Ruining. Lin Jiayue thought that Zhou Ji must have done it on purpose, but on second thought, he was just a part-time job, and she couldn't just be suspicious of others just because she was nervous.

While she was in a daze, Xu Ruining had already stepped forward to help her open the car door, and made a gesture of asking, as if to escort her out of the car.

Pretending to be calm, Lin Jiayue squeezed out the word "thank you", and got off the car under the escort of Xu Ruining.

Because Lin Jiayue walked ahead, she clearly knew that Xu Ruining was following her, and the tension spread directly from the soles of her feet to her scalp.

Xu Ruining didn't say a word, just followed her quietly, Lin Jiayue bit her lower lip tightly, thinking over and over in her heart, should she say something, it's embarrassing to keep walking like this, but it's good to say something.

Before she knew it, she had already entered the lobby on the first floor. Lin Jiayue, carrying her bag, had no choice but to go straight to the second floor. At least there was still a space upstairs, where she could relax a bit.

At this moment, Xu Ruining, who followed Lin Jiayue all the way in, spoke unhurriedly, "Can I come downstairs in ten or five minutes?"

Her voice was very gentle when she spoke, without the slightest hint of coercion.

Lin Jiayue, who had just walked up the first step, paused. Although she didn't know what Xu Ruining wanted to do, she obediently agreed.

Then go upstairs quickly.

The reason why she is so obedient is because she knows that in this family, resistance is useless.

Seeing this, Xu Ruining smiled slightly, satisfied and relieved.

Lin Jiayue, who returned to the bedroom on the second floor, unloaded her backpack and breathed a sigh of relief.Sitting on the edge of the bed, she unconsciously lay down on her back, her whole body was in a large shape. The bed was so comfortable and soft. What was the sudden drowsiness that swept over her?

Just when Lin Jiayue was about to fall asleep, a thought suddenly woke her up. Xu Ruining said that she would not be able to fall asleep when she went downstairs in ten to five minutes. With her style, it was possible to go upstairs and drag her down.

Forcing herself to clear her head, Lin Jiayue lay down and raised her phone, and began to count the time carefully.

Suddenly a message popped up, and I clicked in casually.

It was a news push in the mobile app. I didn't expect that the content was related to their Lin family. It mainly said that under Lin Baiyi's persistent leadership, Lin's real estate was gradually coming back to life. The stock that was about to fall to the limit ten days ago is now finally available. • Signs of pick-up.

In the past, Lin Jiayue dismissed the spam messages that were automatically pushed on her mobile phone, because they were like psoriasis and could not be shaken off, and automatic blocking was ineffective. But today, when I saw this news, I was so happy and relieved.

It's really hard to imagine that the Lin family actually came out of that haze. The past period of time seemed like a dream, a nightmare.

I quickly sent the screenshot of the news page to my mother in the WeChat address book to share my joy, but I didn't expect to receive a reply as soon as I sent it.

Zhou Hong: I see, Jiayue, are you all right? Mom is more worried about you than the company.

Lin Jiayue: I'm fine, don't worry about me.

Zhou Hong: Are you going to Xu Ruining's house after school today?

Lin Jiayue: I'm here now, Xu Ruining's driver picked me up.

Zhou Hong: Is Xu Ruining okay with you?Did they beat or scold you or something?

Lin Jiayue: Mom, where did you think? Well, no matter how bad Xu Ruining is, he wouldn't hit people, and besides, I'm so much younger than her? If she dared to hit me, it would be shameless Have you tasted it?

Lin Jiayue, who said this, was certain in her heart that Xu Ruining would not be the one who beat people, she was certain for no reason.

Zhou Hong: Mom still can't be completely at ease when you say that. In short, when you are by her side, you must be cautious in your words and deeds. Don't provoke her, and don't confront her. You? Kid.

Lin Jiayue: Don't feel wronged, mother. Seeing the news that the Lin family's business is booming again, I think everything is worth it?

Zhou Hong: Silly boy, no matter how the company is, it is more important than your life's happiness. Whenever I think of this, my mother feels very uncomfortable, but your father can't understand. He only has his company in his eyes. company.

Lin Jiayue: Mom, don't talk about Dad like that. I can understand Dad. His journey has been very difficult. The company is his hard work for many years, and it is as important as his life.

Chatted with mother? Talking about family life, sister's recent situation, Lin Jiayue hurriedly ended the topic after noticing the time on the top of the phone.

Lin Jiayue: I have to go downstairs? Xu Ruining called me.

Zhou Hong: Okay, you go, remember what your mother told you.

Lin Jiayue: I will be careful.

Put away the phone and get up to take care of it? Lin Jiayue walked out of the room and walked through the corridor. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, she could see that the sky outside had dimmed. After entering late autumn, the days are getting shorter and shorter. Now it is getting dark earlier and earlier, it is only after six o'clock, and the sky outside is already almost dark? Come down.

As soon as I walked up the stairs, a scent wafted over, a bit like the smell of red wine steak. Could this be today's dinner?

Keeping going down with curiosity, he subconsciously glanced at the side of the open kitchen, but he didn't expect that the person standing there cooking dinner was actually Xu Ruining.

Not far from the kitchen was a dining table, covered with a white tablecloth, and the tableware was arranged neatly and neatly. There were white roses and candlesticks prepared on the table, and the uneven candle flames on the candlesticks danced slowly.

Apart from these, Lin Jiayue was most shocked and surprised by Xu Ruining, who was cooking herself. At this moment, she was naturally holding one hand behind her back, while the other hand was gently flipping the steak in the frying pan, her eyes were lowered slightly and she was serious and serious. Concentrated, it seems that she hasn't noticed Lin Jiayue who has come downstairs.

Although Lin Jiayue has tasted Xu Ruining's cooking skills before, and the taste is not inferior to the famous high-end restaurants in Haigang City, she still has inexplicably high expectations for today's dinner.

For such a bold idea in her heart, she felt a little panic, and soon this idea was immediately suppressed by reason, and a voice seemed to say to keep calm in her ear.

Anyway, anyway, she is also the daughter of the Lin family, and she has been in and out of high society. She has seen this kind of world, and what's more, her mother taught her the most? A saying is that a lady who does not change her face when Mount Tai collapses in front of her, and does not lose her sense of propriety easily style.

Because Lin Jiayue remained silent for a long time, Xu Ruining accidentally raised his eyes to see her later, the corners of his mouth immediately raised, and smiled slightly: "Dinner will be ready soon, go to the meeting."

"You did it." Lin Jiayue asked knowingly.

Xu Ruining continued to look into the pot, and replied unhurriedly: "It's something I've thought about for a long time, to be able to cook dinner for my beloved." As if talking about a very ordinary thing, Xu Ruining's face never happened. With such an expression, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth after speaking.

And... say this again.

Lin Jiayue's heart was beating violently, she silently turned her back and pretended not to look at Xu Ruining, she pulled out her chair and sat down.

Why can this woman always say something to her...without being ashamed, without blushing or beating her heart.
