He didn't hug her too tightly. He put his arms around her waist and held her in his arms, with his chin resting on her neck.
Lin Qing's body was a little stiff. He had never done such an intimate thing before. He was like this today, probably because he was stimulated by seeing Mu Li.
"Lin Qing, can I understand that our relationship has taken a step further?" Dai Ze's face was soaked with excitement, and his voice couldn't help but tremble.
Lin Qingqing closed her eyes, not understanding what she was insisting on. Isn't it best to be with Dai Ze
After a long moment, she nodded slightly.
"There are indeed women's clothes in the master bedroom, not just this one." Dai Ze couldn't contain his joy. He was very close to her, and his breath blowing on her earlobe made her feel an inexplicable throbbing in her heart. "Because those are all prepared for you. I think one day I will impress you and make you the hostess here."
Lin Qing looked at him in surprise, and when she turned back, the light in her eyes dimmed for a moment. She suddenly remembered the kiss from Mu Li just now, and the marks on her shoulder from his strong pinch.
She thought that she really couldn't let Dai Ze down again.
On the way home, Mu Li received a call. Ling Annan's ruffian voice came from the headset: "You are awesome. You stood me up twice today."
Mu Li glanced at the mosquito coil box thrown beside him and raised his lips: "Only twice, not much."
Ling An Nan heard that he seemed to be in a good mood, and crossed one leg and put it on the coffee table: "Hey, Commander, did you get your sister-in-law back? That child is very cute, when can I take her out to play?"
"Get out." Mu Li held the steering wheel with one hand and leaned his other arm against the car window.
"Why, didn't you finish it?"
Mu Li looked at the night scene outside the window and said nothing.
Ling An Nan laughed wantonly, his mind working quickly to come up with a trick for Mu Li: "If you ask me, how can you not get her back if you just took her to bed?"
The corners of Mu Li's mouth twitched. If he really did this, Lin Qing would never pay attention to him even if he was beaten to death.
Ling An Nan chatted for a while longer, and Mu Li occasionally responded, but he hung up the phone after not talking for long.
"Don't hang up yet," Ling An Nan stopped him in time, and finally told him the purpose of the call, "There's a cocktail party in three days, how about going to join in the fun?"
Mu Li didn't even think about it: "No."
Ling An Nan did not try to persuade him to stay, and said with a bit of regret: "Forget it, I was thinking of asking my sister-in-law to go too, so that I can give you a chance to show off."
Mu Li narrowed his eyes for a moment: "What did you say?"
"Tsk tsk, look how anxious you are." Ling An Nan said slowly, whetting people's appetite before adding, "The organizer of this cocktail party is Tianlan Group. Do you think my sister-in-law will go?"
After sending Lin Qing off in the afternoon, Mu Li asked someone to investigate Lin Qing's information after she returned to China. It clearly stated that she had joined the Tianlan Group not long ago.
I didn't expect that she has become so capable now and became a supervisor as soon as she entered the company.
After putting the information away, Mu Li rubbed his brows, vaguely feeling that it would be difficult to win her back.
"Send me the time and place, I'll go." With his status, his attendance at the cocktail party would definitely cause quite a stir.
"Do you need me to find you another female companion? Then, if you can stimulate your sister-in-law, she might come back on her own without you having to catch her."
"roll."
Mu Li hung up the phone directly.
Ling An Nan touched his nose. He felt guilty. If he hadn't deliberately cut in line outside the airport and caused a car accident five years ago, the young couple might not have had to end up like this.
With the invitation letter from Tianlan Group next to him, Ling Annan tapped it rhythmically, took a sip of wine, and looked out the window for a long time.
Mu Li drove back to Coast No. 1. When he opened the door, the living room was pitch black. From the entrance, he could see the curtains fluttering in front of the bay window and the night wind blowing silently.
He stretched out his arm and pressed the switch. The light from the chandelier instantly filled the entire living room. He quickly adapted and walked to the sofa and sat down. However, the bright light could not reach his eyes.
The layout of the house has not changed, including the master bedroom, where the two dolls that Lin Qing insisted on buying are placed at the head of the bed.
Mu Li reached out his big hand and grabbed the brown bear pillow on the sofa into his arms. He held it with one hand, lowered his head slightly and buried his handsome face in the pillow.
It's been five years, and I can no longer find her scent on the pillow.
The car accident five years ago caught him off guard, but fortunately, he regained his memory when he woke up in the hospital. He clearly remembered the joyful smile on Lin Qing's face when she took his arm and chose a pillow.
Now, every time he closed his eyes, he could still feel her gentle breath.
The next morning, Lin Qing was kicked awake by Cheng Cheng. Cheng Cheng was a restless sleeper, rolling from one end of the bed to the other all night.
After Lin Qing changed his clothes, he patted his still sleeping son and said, "Chengcheng, it's time to get up."
"Daddy..." Chengcheng was half asleep and spoke in a baby voice in his sleep, his eyes still tightly closed.
Lin Qing's hand, which was patting Cheng Cheng's back, froze.
Dai Ze also got up early. When he heard the noise in the house, he knocked on the door: "Are you up?"
Lin Qing had no choice but to let his son continue sleeping. He opened the door and saw Dai Ze, who looked very handsome in a suit. "You're going out so early?"
Dai Ze raised the tie in his hand and waved it in front of Lin Qing: "Help me tie it?"
Lin Qing thought of the hug last night, an unnatural look appeared on his face, he turned his eyes away and pulled his tie over: "Go outside, Chengcheng is still sleeping."
Dai Ze's smile deepened: "Okay."
Lin Qing concentrated on tying her tie, deliberately avoiding Dai Ze's gentle gaze. After tying it, she brushed his suit with her fingers, her brows tinged with smiles: "Alright."
The hand that was withdrawn was grabbed by him.
Lin Qing didn't know what to say for a moment. She raised her eyes and met those eyes that seemed to see through her. Mu Li suddenly came to her mind. She used to tie his tie for him, and when she took her hand back, Mu Li would gently kiss the corner of her lips.
Dai Ze noticed her momentary distraction, but did not point it out. He held her hand and loosened it slightly: "Go and wake up Cheng Cheng. I'll take you back."
Lin Qing nodded and turned her head to look towards the guest room. Just as she was about to leave, her hand that had been released was suddenly held tightly.
She felt the hands tightening secretly, as if she felt insecure.
There was a trace of confusion in Lin Qing's eyes. When he looked up, he saw the loneliness in Dai Ze's eyes: "What's wrong?"
Dai Ze seemed to be staring at her neck in a trance, but in an instant he regained his gentle expression: "What should I do? I can't bear to let go just by looking at you like this."
Lin Qing was slightly startled, and didn't know what to say. Seeing her embarrassment, Dai Ze couldn't help but chuckle and let go of her hand: "Go and wake up Chengcheng."
Before Lin Qing pushed open the door, it opened from the inside. Cheng Cheng stood barefoot on the wooden floor, with messy black hair on her head and a sleepy look on her face: "Mommy, the nest fell down."
Lin Qing picked up Cheng Cheng and looked over, only to see that the quilt on the big bed was gone. Then he looked again and saw the thin blanket lying in a mess on the ground.
Lin Qing laughed and rubbed Cheng Cheng's little head: "Are you hurt?"
Cheng Cheng was so sleepy that he lay lazily on his mother's shoulder and yawned, "No, I fell on the quilt."
He always likes to roll up the quilt into a ball when he sleeps, and sometimes you can't even hear the sound when he falls down.
Lin Qing was relieved then. He held Chengcheng, changed clothes and went to wash up.
While washing Chengcheng's face, Lin Qing accidentally looked in the mirror and caught a glimpse of a suspicious mark on her neck. She looked carefully and found that it was a kiss mark left by Mu Li last night.
Lin Qing's palms felt cold. No wonder Dai Ze was staring at her neck in a daze just now.
When the mother and son came out of the room again, Dai Ze was sitting on the sofa reading a magazine. Lin Qing looked at the time and saw that it was already late, so he walked to the sofa and put Cheng Cheng down.
"Otherwise, you can just go to work. I'll take Cheng Cheng back in a taxi."
Cheng Cheng was in high spirits at the moment, hugging Dai Ze's legs: "Morning, uncle."
Dai Ze smiled and put down the magazine. He stood up and took Cheng Cheng with him. He let Cheng Cheng sit in his arms: "Why bother? Don't you still have to go to work? Let's send Cheng Cheng home first, and then send you to the company."
"That won't do. You're late for work on your first day back. I feel so embarrassed." Lin Qing said frankly. Seeing Dai Ze's tall figure and Cheng Cheng in his arms, she always had an indescribable feeling in her heart.
Dai Ze didn't take it seriously. He carried Cheng Cheng across the coffee table and walked towards the door: "You just think too much. Don't argue with me. I'll take you there."
Lin Qing couldn't persuade him, so she had to change her shoes and follow him downstairs.
When they arrived at the door, Dai Ze did not get out of the car, and Lin Qing did not say anything, and sent Cheng Cheng home. Father Lin was making breakfast, and when he saw his daughter come back and pop her head out of the kitchen, he asked, "Qing Qing, where did you go last night? Why are you back now?"
Lin Qing then remembered that he forgot to say hello to his parents last night. After placing Cheng Cheng in the living room, he hurriedly said, "I'm staying at a friend's place for one night. Dad, I still have to go to work. I'm leaving now."
After taking two steps, Lin Qing turned around and looked at Cheng Cheng: "You will have breakfast with grandpa and grandma later. Remember to drink milk."
Cheng Cheng pouted his lips and twisted his cute little eyebrows together: "I don't want to drink!"
"obedient."
"Then tell grandpa and grandma that mommy met a handsome uncle yesterday and he said he was my daddy!"
Lin Qing was embarrassed. This little thing actually negotiated with her
She also didn't want her parents to know about her meeting with Mu Li, so she had to give in: "Then you just be a good boy at home, okay?"
Cheng Cheng waved his hand triumphantly and immediately chased the man away: "I know, go find Uncle Dai!"
Lin Qing held his forehead and walked out. When he closed the door, he heard Lin's mother's voice intermittently: "Chengcheng, who is the Uncle Dai you just mentioned?"
Lin Qing almost ran all the way back to the car.
The car door slammed hard, and Dai Ze stared at the beads of sweat on her forehead with amusement: "Why are you running so fast?"
"Drive quickly, my mother might catch up with you soon. If she sees you, you won't be able to leave today." Lin Qing stared at the entrance of the corridor cautiously, afraid that a figure would appear there.
It was the first time that Dai Ze saw her like this. She had lost her usual calmness, which made her even more attractive.
"Are you so afraid that they will know me?" Dai Ze himself didn't even notice how childish his tone was.
Lin Qing then turned around and motioned for him to drive quickly: "It's not like before. I still have Cheng Cheng with me. They will definitely take this into consideration when choosing a son-in-law. You will be worried when the time comes."
