Chapter 173 Take a cold shower again
After taking a cold shower, Gu Jingting turned on the office computer in the study. Just after reading an email, Lin Yike slipped in again.
She had just finished taking a shower, and her hair was still wet. When she got close, she had a faint smell of shower gel.
"Why don't you blow your hair dry?" He looked up at her.
"Oh, it'll be done when I go to bed." Lin Yike shook his head, and the water droplets on his hair were thrown on Gu Jingting's face.
"I haven't gone to sleep yet, what do you want to do?" Gu Jingting pulled her into his arms, his slightly cool thin lips pressed against her ears, his breath was warm and his voice was low and sexy.
"I'm thinking about what to send to Mrs. Gu's birthday party." Lin Yike deliberately pretended to be stupid and changed the topic.
Gu Jingting smiled faintly and replied, "Just buy something casually. Anyway, they are irrelevant people."
Lin Yike nodded in agreement, "Xiaoting spent 100,000 yuan to order a golden longevity peach. I don't want to be a sucker. I have the most budget."
After Lin Yike finished speaking, he stretched out one hand and showed five thin white fingers.
"Fifty thousand?" Gu Jingting said with a smile.
"It's five thousand." Lin Yike corrected.
The smile on Gu Jingting's lips became deeper, "I heard that Mrs. Gu likes tea ceremony."
"Tea ceremony?" Lin Yike's eyes lit up after hearing this. As long as he knows his preferences, it will be much easier to give gifts. "Uncle Zhao likes to drink flower tea. He must have a lot of good tea leaves. I'll go there tomorrow. Then go to the porcelain store to find a set of tea sets that you can see."
"You are good at taking advantage of your mistakes." Gu Jingting shaved lightly the tip of her nose.
"I don't ask for merit, but I want no mistakes." Lin Yike laughed and kissed him on the cheek on one side, "I'm going to sleep."
Then, he jumped off his leg and walked out of the study like the wind.
Gu Jingting shook his head helplessly, his body was so hot and tense that it seemed that he would take another cold shower.
...
Lin Yike went to Zhao's house early the next morning, and as soon as he entered the door, he felt something was wrong.
"Xiao Ke is here, Ying Xuan is in the room. You are here just in time. Please advise her to stop being angry with your Uncle Zhao." Mrs. Zhao politely invited Lin Yike into the door.
Lin Yike walked across the long stairs with a confused look on his face and came to Zhao Yingxuan's door. She thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out why the Zhao family's father and daughter would be angry. Secretary-General Zhao has always been obedient to his daughter, even if he wanted the stars in the sky to pick them off.
Lin Yike reached out to knock on the door. After two sounds, a faint request came from the room.
Lin Yike pushed the door and entered the room and saw Zhao Yingxuan sitting in front of the bay window curled up.
Zhao Yingxuan's boudoir is the largest room in the entire villa, with an internal bathroom, a terrace, and a large bay window. Lin Yike often sat with Zhao Yingxuan on the bay window chatting and drinking tea with a doll with his pillow.
Lin Yike kicked off the slippers on his feet, picked up the soft duck down pillow, and sat opposite Zhao Yingxuan.
Zhao Yingxuan was in a very abnormal state today. He had never spoken and looked out the window with his eyes blankly.
"What's wrong?" Lin Yike asked tentatively.
Zhao Yingxuan Huan's scattered eyes slowly became focal, but the circles of his eyes also turned red. "Xiao Ke, I don't know what's wrong. Cheng Jun suddenly started not going home. Yesterday, his father asked me to accompany him to have dinner, and there were Vice Governor Chen and his wife of the Provincial Party Committee and their son who were having dinner together."
Zhao Yingxuan was not stupid. Although he didn't pick it up, it was obviously a blind date. She had been holding it over and did not have an attack, so as not to embarrass everyone's face.
After returning home, Zhao Yingxuan had a fierce dispute with his father. At the end of the dispute, Zhao Zhixin said: Don’t meet Li Chengjun in the future. If you don’t like the son of the Chen family, I will introduce a suitable partner to you.
Zhao Yingxuan said this, covering his eyes with his hands, and tears fell uncontrollably. "I really don't know what happened. Cheng Jun and I have been with me for so long. Apart from a marriage certificate, there is no difference between us and our husband and wife. Now my father asked me to break up with Cheng Jun and I, and I didn't even give me a reason."
Lin Yike handed over the tissue and asked her to wipe her tears first. For a moment, she didn't know how to persuade her.
Zhao Yingxuan and Li Chengjun's love has been smooth sailing. In addition to loving each other, the most important thing is that the two families are aligned. Zhao Zhixin is the secretary-general of the municipal party committee, and Li Chengjun's father also holds important positions in the provincial party committee.
Lin Yike guessed that there are only two reasons for the current situation. One is that the Li family is like the Zuo family at the time, and is about to face a crisis. Zhao Zhixin did not want to be dragged down and made a quick decision to separate his daughter from the Li family.
Zhao Zhixin and Lin Jianshan have been dating for many years. To some extent, they are all the same people, always putting their own interests first.
The second possibility is that the Zhao family and the Li family had a conflict of interests, so Zhao Zhixin prevented Zhao Yingxuan from continuing to interact with Li Chengjun, and Li Chengjun also began to alienate Yingxuan.
Lin Yike felt that the second type might be bigger. If it was the first type, Li Chengjun had no reason to avoid Zhao Yingxuan.
However, the facts still need to be investigated.
"Have you ever asked Li Chengjun? He avoided you and should know the inside story." Lin Yike asked.
Zhao Yingxuan shook his head, "No, he didn't see me, and I didn't go to find him, I dare not."
If she finds Li Chengjun, he will show up with her or break up directly, Zhao Yingxuan is afraid that she will not be able to accept it. Therefore, she can only be a snail, hide in her shell, and pretend that nothing has happened.
Lin Yike sighed helplessly, hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to speak, "Yingxuan, love is a matter for two people, but marriage is a matter for two families. Although we don't know what happened for the time being, there must be a big problem in the relationship between Zhao and Li families. Your future and Li Chengjun are worrying. You must be mentally prepared for this."
After hearing this, Zhao Yingxuan burst into tears and nodded silently.
Although she grew up in a honey jar, she was not a fool. She had a bad premonition from the time Li Chengjun didn't return home at night, until her father told her that she would not see Li Chengjun again, she knew that they might have come to an end.
However, even though I understand so clearly, I can't give up.
Childhood sweethearts, no guesses between two young people. Perhaps only the beauty in memory is left.
Lin Yike left Zhao Yingxuan's room and was not in a good mood. The better the thing was, the more regretful it was when it was destroyed.
She walked down the long spiral staircase and happened to meet Zhao Zhixin entering the door.
Zhao Zhixin still had a kind smile on his face, "Yika is here, let your aunt cook a few more dishes and stay for lunch to have dinner together."
"Uncle Zhao, I have something to do today, let's go somewhere else." Lin Yike politely refused.
How depressing is the Zhao family's depressing atmosphere, she can only eat.
