When Lin Zixi saw the woman walk over, he wanted to stand up and introduce himself to her, but his wrist was held down by Yin Xiangze. She turned around and looked at the man with the warm and cold expression, and although her eyes were somewhat puzzled, she still obediently sat in her original position, waiting for him to approach her.
Yin Qinghuan's red lips curled up into a smile as she feigned confusion and asked, "Mom, what did you just say?"
Mother Yin smiled, glancing at the gentle and generous Lin Zixi, then turned to her daughter and said, "Your brother is getting engaged to Zixi, you will soon have a sister-in-law."
Engagement. When Yin Qinghuan heard these two words, a strange look flashed across her eyes. After that, she feigned a pleasantly surprised expression as she looked towards her future sister-in-law.
Lin Zixi replied with a faint smile, which was very warm and quiet.
"Sister Lin, you're so good-looking, following my brother …" "It's really fitting."
As she spoke, she walked over and took her mother's arm. Leaning on her mother's shoulder like a spoiled child, she snickered, "Mom, don't you agree?"
"Right, right, right. Your mouth is the sweetest."
His mother was naturally overjoyed, and so was Lin Zixi. The man's deep gaze was fixed on Yin Qinghuan. His thin lips were pursed slightly as the bottom of his eyes turned dark.
After dinner, Yin Xiangze sent Lin Zixi back. After the two of them left, the smile on Yin Ma's face had not yet faded.
Yin Qinghuan, who was sitting on the sofa to the side, chuckled. When she thought about how Yin Xiangze had treated Lin Zixi tenderly and even helped her peel the prawns at the dinner table, she found it laughable.
I didn't expect perverts to have such a warm side to them!
Did Yin Xiangze really like this Miss Lin?
"This time, I've finally fulfilled my wish. Before, I was worried that Ze would …"
As Yin Mu spoke, he seemed to realize something and did not continue. Yin Qinghuan, on the other hand, disapprovingly followed up with a sentence — —
"Are you worried that this brother will not marry for the sake of a dead woman?"
Heh, don't be ridiculous. Yin Xiangze didn't mean it at all, neither towards Qiao Yifeng nor towards Lin Zixi.
The smile on Mother Yin's face froze after hearing her daughter's words.
"It's all in the past now, you can't mention this in front of Zixi in the future."
Not mentioned?
Yin Qinghuan did not reply and only smiled. She naturally had no interest in talking to Lin Zixi about this sort of thing.
She was, um, a pity for this Lin Family's daughter, a seemingly good woman, destined to be a moth to a flame.
The car stopped outside the Lin Family residence. Lin Zixi smiled warmly and turned his head to look at Yin Xiangze.
"Xiangze, do you want to go in and meet my parents?"
He would go in, she thought, when he was at the door.
The man's eyes were cold as he stared straight ahead without responding.
The smile on Lin Zixi's lips gradually faded a little. For some unknown reason, after leaving the Yin Family, his attitude seemed to have returned to before, and was ice-cold.
He had obviously just arrived at the Yin Family, but he wasn't like that.
Lin Zixi actually didn't understand this man's intentions. Before returning home, she had already known the CEO of the Yin family. The moment she saw his photo, her heart skipped a beat.
The first time they met, he was just sitting quietly at the side. She was unable to shift her gaze away from him.
Then, for the second time this afternoon, he asked her if she would like to be Mrs. Yin.'
At that moment, Lin Zixi was stunned, not daring to believe what he had just heard.
The man's gaze was cold and his words were clear. Once again, he spoke …
"Don't want to?"
However, these two words made Lin Zixi lose his rationality in a split-second.
Although she had only met him twice, her parents had already told her that relationships could be developed after marriage. Most importantly, she liked him a lot. This was the first time she had fallen in love with a man at first sight, so she naturally didn't want to miss it.
Then, he took her to the Yin family, saw his mother, and announced the marriage.
Everything happened so suddenly that Lin Zixi felt that it wasn't real.
At this moment, she looked at the man's cold profile. With a somewhat probing tone, she whispered, "Yin first …"
Seemingly feeling that it was inappropriate to call him Mister Yin now, the woman paused for a moment. After thinking for a moment, she asked again, "You, are you really going to be engaged to me?"
However, the reply he got was still silence.
Lin Zixi couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed, thinking that he couldn't possibly be just joking around, right?
After a long while, the man's lips moved slightly.
"The engagement is scheduled for next month."
Next month!
The woman's eyes trembled as ripples surfaced in them. But from the looks of it, he wasn't lying to her.
So, did he really want to be engaged to her, and really want to be with her?
Thinking this, Lin Zixi felt a trace of joy in his heart, thinking that he also liked her.
He was not the kind of man to play with women, and she trusted him.
The next morning, Yin Qinghuan went out early to the design exhibition hall.
The design exhibition would start at 2 PM. She was a little worried, so she went to check the scene in the morning to make sure there were no problems before letting out a sigh of relief.
During that time, he called her and asked about Fiona.
Since the incident with the camera, Shi-shuang had left the company, but since today was the annual design exhibition, she wanted to come, of course, but she didn't want to see the spokesperson.
Yin Qinghuan naturally wished to stay at home at all times. After all, she had already been here for seven months. It was better not to come to such a crowded situation. If anything happened, it would be bad.
Naturally, there was also Gu Wenliu who had such a thought.
But how could Shi Qian be obedient? Although she didn't want to see Fiona, but the more she was in a situation like this, the more she had to watch the scene, before the little demoness could kidnap her husband away.
At this time, Joanne's voice was heard.
"Who arranged this seat, I wonder if the designer and CEO Chu have a good relationship? Anyone who has a good relationship with you should sit together. "
The words had a good relationship with him, but it actually caught the attention of the other employees present.
Yin Qinghuan frowned. She didn't know what Joanne was thinking about. She walked up to the front and saw that she had arranged the seats again.
The others didn't have any changes as they placed Yin Qinghuan's seat beside Chu Huai, while Qi Yanqi … Naturally, it was Joanne's position.
Joanne chuckled and glanced at Yin Qinghuan from the corner of her eyes, "Designer Yin, do you think my arrangement is reasonable?" After all, Director Chu is on good terms with you.
Yin Qinghuan: "You really have nothing better to do."
Then, he completely ignored them and turned around to arrange other matters.
In the afternoon, the people who were invited came one after another. After signing their names, they entered the venue. There were multiple booths in the venue.
Every jewel that ST had designed during the year was here, some of it by the late Joe's chief designer, and it could be said to be a commemorative exhibition.
Many of those from overseas who came with a reputation both acknowledged and regretted the design of the jewellery after seeing it.
When Qi Yan Shang and Gu Wen Liu arrived, Joanne immediately went up to them.
"Director Qi, Director Gu."
Yin Qinghuan stood at the side, unmoved. She glanced at the woman holding Gu Wen Liu's arm and said with a smile: "Special assistance at a time."
Shi Qian was dressed well today. Due to her pregnancy, she rarely attended these big events.
Fortunately, this time, she had her dress tailored in advance. She had a good figure, and even if she got pregnant, she would still appear thin, except for her bulging belly.
He smiled at her as if to say, Am I prettier than that Fiona today?
Yin Qinghuan smiled faintly without saying a word. The look in each other's eyes had long since fallen into Gu Wenliu's eyes.
Even though he had warned Yin Qinghuan to stay away from him, he still warned her that she was not a good person.
However —
The closer the relationship between the two, the better. This gave Gu Wenliu a headache.
Yin Qinghuan raised her eyes to look at Qi Yan Shang. Seeing his indifferent expression, he didn't seem to have any other emotions. Joanna, who was beside him, tried to talk to him, but Qi Yan's attitude, aside from indifference, was also cold.
Later, Joanne gave up.
Yin Qinghuan was still standing at the signing site. Her eyes were still gloomy.
Actually, it was quite good to meet him now. They were like strangers, and regardless of their relationship, they would end up in a quiet place.
He walked towards the woman, and stood in front of her. He did not care about the other employees beside him who were present, and lightly laughed, and said: "Your eyesight isn't bad, but the clothes suit suits me quite well."
Yin Qinghuan: Huh?
After that, he sized up the man in front of him. Could it be that the person he was wearing was … Was it the suit she had the shop assistant deliver yesterday?
She frowned and blurted out the words that she did not understand.
"Didn't you say that the size was inappropriate?"
He didn't realize at all that there was someone else on the side. Upon hearing this, all the female employees looked at each other in dismay. Sure enough, the designer and CEO Chu … Their relationship was not ordinary.
Chu Huai walked up and put his arm around the woman's waist. Yin Qinghuan was caught off guard as she leaned into the man's embrace. He heard a low voice filled with a few jokes: "Now is a good time."
Yin Qinghuan: "…"
What do you mean?
"Let go."
She wanted to break free from the man at her waist and take a look at the gossips around her. Yin Qinghuan lowered her voice as she didn't want to argue with Chu Huai at this time.
"I'm here to watch a design exhibition. Don't tell me that designer Yin doesn't want to introduce me to these displayed designs?"
As Chu Huai spoke, he held onto the woman's waist and walked towards a display cabinet.
Then, Yin Qinghuan suddenly calmed down because —
Qi Yan Shang also stood in front of the display cabinet, his deep gaze looking at the wedding ring in the counter.
This was a wedding ring that Qiao Yonuo had designed for a bride who was about to die from illness at the beginning of the year. She had told him then that the bride was actually very happy, that she would protect her husband to the end of her life, that life and death were never farewells for those who loved each other, but a different way of accompanying her.
Life and death, wasn't that a farewell?
If so, why had she never appeared in his dreams?
It was because she hated him, hated his heartlessness, hated him for ignoring her for so many years, hated him for not saving her even in the end. Thus, she was not willing to see him again.
Qiao Yonuo, is that so?
