"Presumably, this is my cousin's husband?" She clearly knew, yet she still asked one more time. All she wanted was for this man to reply to her alone.
Gu Yanchen chuckled and did not say a word.
Lin Huanyan looked at the "younger cousin" in front of him who was like a flower and jade-like, as if he was betrothed to a thousand miles away, afraid that others wouldn't know that she was the granddaughter of Lin Family.
"Grandfather, this is a congratulatory gift that father has prepared for you. He said, "There is nothing you love more than blue and white porcelain." Lin Yubei opened the box. It was an extremely exquisite blue and white porcelain vase, from the looks of it, it had some history.
Lin Huanyan curled her lips and looked at the work of art with narrowed eyes. However, her sincerity was inferior to his. She had personally made that, so it had an extraordinary significance.
"Right." Hearing Old Master Lin's finally response, Lin Yubei nodded his head in satisfaction, and Lin Zongyan also relaxed his brow.
Finally, the birthday feast was back on track. Everyone continued the birthday feast as if nothing had happened, except for Lin Huanyan.
After going upstairs, he returned to the room that he hadn't seen in a long time. Even after walking for a long time, it was still very clean. Mother was a typical good wife and mother. She did not need to be a servant. She did all of this herself.
Gu Yanchen could not see the lady's figure, and knew that she must have returned to her previous room. Just as he was about to put down the wine cup and go up the stairs, he saw the person who was smiling at him, blocking his path.
"Cousin, hello."
Lin Yubei smiled beautifully, he smiled lightly and replied her politely.
"I heard that Cousin Su is the CEO of Gu's. He's young and capable, really amazing!"
Gu Yanchen had heard far too many praises and was used to them.
However, the scene of the woman striking up a conversation caught Lin Huanyan's eye. Looking down from the bottom of the stairs, Lin Yubei seemed to have a pure and pure appearance, as he continuously tried to find a topic to talk with Gu Yanchen.
Sick! He felt like his husband was about to be robbed! First, it was Grandfather, then it was Gu Yanchen. Lin Huanyan bit his lips, thinking of the demon hiding under Lin Yubei's angel-like face, and felt disdain.
That kind of woman, who had been raised to the right by a mistress, actually thought of him as the daughter of the Lin Family?
It was not because she looked down on Lin Yubei's identity, but because the shadow of the past had yet to dissipate.
She then looked at the smile on her husband's face. 'Hmph! Why don't I ever see him smile at her like that?!' Gu Yanchen, you should just kneel on the washboard tonight!
When Lin Huanyan came out of his room, he heard a female voice coming from behind him. He pursed his lips and tried to keep a smile on his face.
"Long time no see."
"That's right, Cousin. It's been almost four years." Lin Yubei laughed and said. Actually, Lin Huanyan was about the same age as her, and it was just a matter of a month or two earlier.
"Heh …" She smiled and said nothing. Four years, it had already been four years. Remembering what happened back then, she had an extremely bad impression of Lin Yubei.
"Is cousin still blaming me? I was really young at the time, and it was unintentional. "
Small? Eighteen years old and still called young? Don't you know that pushing someone into the water is a legal responsibility!
"How could that be? I know that you didn't mean it."
Lin Huanyan also learned from the woman that their appearances were different, and secretly cursed the woman in small shoes being splashed on when she went out.
"Then I am relieved. Cousin, don't worry. Once you marry into the Gu family, I'll take care of grandpa. "
Look at what he had said! No matter how you looked at it, it sounded like he was claiming the ownership of the army! Wait, she said. Later?
"You … Second Uncle decided to move back? "
"Mn, Daddy is Grandfather's son after all. No matter how angry Grandfather is, it's all in the past. Just now, Big Uncle said that he wanted me to enter Lin's. "
After Lin Huanyan heard this, his entire body did not look good.
"Also, it's my cousin's room. I'll be staying here from now on."
What he had said before could be considered a show of modesty, but now he was giving a direct notification. Lin Huanyan was naturally very unhappy, and asked with a stiff face.
"There are still many guest rooms at home, do you not mind staying with the rest of me?"
Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Yubei replied with a smile:
"How could I dare to turn my back on my cousin!" "I'll stay here for now. It won't be too late if I don't like it and then change it."
"Hmph …" Lin Huanyan rolled his eyes, this woman was enough!
"Oh right, Cousin, I heard that Cousin dotes on you and even started a clothing company for you!" Lin Yubei's face revealed an envious expression, but in Lin Huanyan's eyes, it looked a little far-fetched.
"Mm …" He didn't want to stay a second longer.
Lin Yubei once again said some good things, but Lin Huanyan didn't pay much attention to them, as he was feeling a little sleepy.
Gu Yanchen's voice woke Lin Huanyan up from his' sleep '. Just as he was about to call him husband, he didn't think that he would be the first one to recognize him.
"Cousin, Cousin, I think Cousin is a bit tired."
Lin Huanyan pouted, so you actually knew about it. Knowing your own limitations, not bad. I know I'm bored talking to you.
"You're tired?" He put his arm around her and let her lean against his shoulder, intimately, not caring that there were others in front of him.
"Yes." Hubby, let's go home. "
He rubbed his forehead against his jaw and nodded lovingly.
But Lin Yubei was ignored just like that. Even after the man carried his beloved wife and left the Lin Family gate, he still hadn't turned around to look at her.
Damn it, could it be that the current her could not compare to Lin Huanyan? In his grandfather's heart, in the eyes of others, even he felt the same way.
Unreconciled and resentful filled Lin Yubei's mind.
"Lin Huanyan, there will be a day when the Lin Family will be mine. I will make you what I was before, despised by all. "
"Get in." He opened the door for her and saw that the woman seemed to be angry again. She smiled at him.
"Hubby, can we not take a taxi?"
"Can you carry me back?"
It seemed like it had been a long time since someone had recited it to her. Like everyone said, she might really be spoiled. When he was young, he was his grandfather, then Maki Shengge, and now it would even be him.
Seeing Gu Yanchen not saying a word, Lin Huanyan moved his brain, and made a gesture with his finger.
"Carry me. I'll tell you a little secret about me."
Secret … Gu Yanchen raised his eyebrows. This was something that was worth considering.
At last the woman lay down on his back, and her body was light and effortless. Lin Huanyan nodded in satisfaction, and rested his head on Yue Yang's back.
"Go ahead."
He could smell the fragrance of her hair and her breathing.
"Mm …" Actually, I don't like my cousin. "
Having said so, the man smiled helplessly. Was this a secret? A perceptive person could see through it with a glance, but he still followed her words and asked:
"I won't tell you." If you want to know, you'll have to trade one of your secrets for it. " Wasn't he the one who said that everything should be fair?
Gu Yanchen heard the hidden meaning behind his words, it seemed like she was setting a trap for him.
"I don't want to know."
"Sigh!" Why are you so stingy? Isn't it just sharing a secret? " She was getting anxious, moving around on his back, Gu Yanchen stopped in his tracks and scolded:
"Don't move."
When the woman heard this, she immediately quieted down. She didn't know that her actions earlier had been completely ignited by the fire.
"What do you want to know?" He asked her, and Lin Huanyan, whose face was originally cold, suddenly smiled, thought for a moment, and asked:
"I'm you, how many women?"
This was an issue that needed to be discussed properly. Although Lin Huanyan knew that men like him had had a few women before, thinking about it now, Lin Huanyan felt slightly unhappy.
She thought that he would reject her offer, but she didn't expect that the three words he said would cause her eyes to widen in disbelief …
"First one."
The first one! Lin Huanyan's first reaction was … How is this possible!? She had never felt that Gu Yanchen was a pure man. He must be lying to her!
"I don't believe it. Liar!"
"Really." His voice was filled with power, shocking Lin Huanyan. Gu Yanchen wasn't the type of person who would explain, so he naturally couldn't be bothered to lie. Then, was she really the first one?
"Then that night …" He was at a loss for words. Thinking of that night in France, he didn't seem like that at all … On the other hand, he seemed very experienced!
"Yan Yan, you can't tell how much experience you have gained for something like that."
What! Why did the topic between the two of them always shift to that sort of thing?
"Well, I'll trust you first. If I find out that you lied to me, I will hate you. " Although he said this, his heart was very happy. First, First... Good.
"As for why I hate Lin Yubei," Lin Huanyan said happily after a pause. With a light sigh, her watery eyes slowly closed as she spoke in a soft voice.
"Actually, she wasn't born of Second Uncle's wife, she was born of a woman that Second Uncle raised outside. I don't have any memories of my childhood, but my mother said that Second Uncle's wife died in a car accident with that woman. For the next few years, Second Uncle stayed abroad. Until I was eighteen years old, which is to say, four years ago, when he brought Lin Yubei back to the Lin Family. " As he spoke, he felt sleepy again. The sound became smaller and smaller.
"Although grandfather doesn't really like her, he accepted her. But …" In the end, there was only a whisper …
"She almost …" "Hm." Then, it became completely silent, and only the sound of shallow breathing could be heard. Gu Yanchen laughed helplessly, it seemed like he really could not hear anything from her mouth.
Ning Xia, he was carrying her on his back as he walked step by step towards home. Under the street lamp, it was so quiet.
"Don't worry, my Lin's will fall into my hands sooner or later. Brother Fan, help me investigate Lin Huanyan's life in these past few years, and also find the Gu's's CEO, Gu Yanchen. "
"Mm. After this is over, you can do whatever you want."
After hanging up, Lin Yubei's face was filled with deep disgust. She resisted the urge and smiled coldly. As long as she obtained Lin's and destroyed Lin Huanyan, she would be willing to sacrifice anything!
"Viv." It was his father's voice outside the door. Lin Yubei changed his smile and opened the door.
"Let's go."
As Lin Zongyan spoke, Lin Yubei did not understand and countered with a question:
"Where to?"
"To Austria."
Lin Yubei instantly understood that she wanted to be chased away like she did four years ago! Despite knowing the reason, he still pretended to be wronged and asked loudly.
"Why!? Didn't Uncle already let us stay?! "
She was really smart, attracting Lin Zhenglong and Fang Ruoqing with a single word.
"What's going on?"
When Lin Zhenglong opened his mouth, before his brother could reply, Lin Yubei had already cried:
"Uncle, I know that my status is low, but my father is grandfather's son. Can't we just stay and do our best to show some filial piety?"
"Viv." Lin Zongyan yelled at her, but no one chased them away. It was him, he had no face to stay behind.
"No one wants you to leave. You will go to the Lin's tomorrow."
