Chapter 220: Jin Yan Ting’s Urgent Return to the Country
Chen Wei Qi recently acquired a new lover, a 1.85m tall, mixed-race male singer with blue eyes.
The male singer was holding a concert in Singapore and specifically invited his sugar mama to come and watch.
So, Chen Wei Qi came, and took the opportunity to catch up with the socialites in Singapore. They hadn’t seen each other in a long time, and the gossip they could share could fill Disneyland.
As soon as Lian Li’s social media post came out, she instantly became the center of everyone’s conversation.
Besides Chen Wei Qi, everyone present had heard of Lian Li to some extent.
No one wasn’t curious about what kind of person the young lady who had been by Eldest Young Master Jin’s side for ten years was like.
That’s ten years… How many ten years does a person have in their life?
Chen Wei Qi was wearing a top luxury sleeveless dress, with high heels on her feet. A young socialite beside her was carrying her new Hermes crocodile leather bag, adopting a subservient posture.
While others were chattering, Chen Wei Qi was extending her five fingers, examining her newly done diamond nails. Suddenly, someone called her, and she turned her head to look at the person who asked the question.
“How would I know? You ask me, who do I ask?”
Chen Wei Qi said with an arrogant tone, “Lian Li used to like Brother Yan Ting, she admitted it herself. As for how she came to like Brother Shi Yue, who knows besides the people involved.”
As long as it didn’t involve breaking up Jin Yan Ting and Duan Shi Qing, Chen Wei Qi didn’t care who Lian Li was with.
She was a little curious about Lian Li’s affairs, but not much. She was busy spending money and didn’t have time to manage other people’s dating.
Jin Shi Yue, who posted on social media once in a hundred years, posted a photograph of Lian Li for the first time in his life. They definitely weren’t in a canary and sugar daddy relationship… If it wasn’t a case of a young girl falling into depravity, then Chen Wei Qi would have no reason to oppose them.
Miss Chen, protected by her family and naive to the ways of the world, displayed an arrogant demeanor outside.
The others inwardly disliked her for being dim-witted, but due to her family background, they dared not say anything.
Even if she was a naive and sweet person, she was still a genuine young lady with power and influence.
“Let’s go, Sister Shiqing said she and Brother Yan Ting had dinner at the Western Restaurant here last time, and the taste was quite good.”
Lian Li awakened, no longer a canary disrupting others’ feelings, but a proper girlfriend. Chen Wei Qi could no longer find fault with her.
Besides, was Jin Shi Yue’s business something Chen Wei Qi could interfere with?
She dared not.
She wouldn’t dare even if she had a hundred times the courage.
Chen Wei Qi and her group walked into the Western Restaurant in their high heels. The manager greeted them at the entrance with a smile.
They were long gone, but Jin Yan Ting still stood there, Chen Wei Qi’s words from earlier echoing in his mind.
–
“Lian Li used to like Brother Yan Ting, she admitted it herself.”
Lian Li used to like him…
That sentence was like a meteor’s flame, unexpectedly leaping into Jin Yan Ting’s chest, causing his heart to ache intensely.
Amidst the pain, a strong sense of ecstasy even arose.
Assistant He saw that President Jin was motionless, showing a rare look of absent-mindedness, and reminded him, “President Jin.”
Jin Yan Ting snapped back to reality, his expression returning to its usual impassive state in an instant, and he calmly asked, “The rest of the schedule.”
“Tomorrow morning there’s a Shareholder Meeting, in the afternoon we’ll attend the International Summit forum, and in the evening Mr. Hervison from TZ Consortium…”
Before Assistant He could finish speaking, he heard President Jin give an order: “Cancel it. Arrange a plane back home.”
Assistant He was surprised.
Having been by Jin Yan Ting’s side for many years, he had never seen the powerful and influential Jin Yan Ting temporarily cancel meetings and banquets, especially such important work.
Did something happen at home? It shouldn’t be; if something had happened, the news would be all over the place.
Assistant He didn’t understand, but he followed the order.
Jin Yan Ting took a step forward, his heart restless because Lian Li liked him. He raised his hand, tugged at his tie, and directly untied the neat and beautiful Windsor knot.
If Lian Li didn’t like him, he wouldn’t interfere with her and Jin Shi Yue one bit.
But Lian Li used to like him…
**
Coastal Village had undergone commercialization in recent years, developing into a well-known resort area. The surrounding facilities and environment were clean and comfortable, not too bad.
Lian Li took a car from the hotel to Coastal Village. During the journey, she looked at the man beside her, then at the low-key Mercedes cars following behind, and inexplicably felt like she was returning to her maiden home.
For her, the display was quite grand.
The place Lian Li was staying was Lian Jingcheng’s guesthouse from back then.
The guesthouse had been completely rebuilt inside and out. To say it was Lian Jingcheng’s guesthouse from back then was only true in terms of the map’s coordinates; everything else was completely different.
At first, Lian Li was worried that the distinguished young master with great power and influence wouldn’t be used to it, and she constantly paid attention to his state. Later, she realized that as long as the man held her at night, he didn’t care if they slept in the wilderness.
She was afraid of mistreating him.
Who knew, he was enjoying himself.
Lian Li stayed here whenever she came to Coastal Village. The guesthouse owner recognized her and brought out some homemade rice wine. They gathered on the balcony, and she told her stories about Taiwan.
The owner also said that she and Jin Shi Yue looked like a newlywed couple on their honeymoon.
Lian Li smiled at this, taking a shallow sip of the mellow rice wine.
The main reason they gave people this impression was Jin Shi Yue.
Jin Shi Yue’s bone structure and facial contours were young and handsome, exuding youthful vigor, yet the charm and composure of a mature man were not diminished at all. His innate noble and cold aura was distinctly different from that of a male student fresh out of ivory towers.
Another reason, Lian Li guessed, was that their recent interactions were very much like an old married couple.
In the morning, Jin Shi Yue would accompany her to read and enjoy the breeze under the dawn light. After breakfast, she would accompany him to meetings and review documents. She didn’t understand his work, so there was no risk of leaks. In the evening, after they finished dinner, they would walk along the beach in the sunset glow.
It was both leisurely and peaceful, and tranquil and warm.
Professor Lu was attending a seminar in Boston and hadn’t given Lian Li any missions, so she was free and relaxed. She asked Li Ye for a camera and took photographs for Xue Shufan.
Initially, there were only photos of the local culture and scenery. Later, Jin Shi Yue’s figure appeared frequently in Lian Li’s lens.
The earlier photos, Lian Li sent to Xue Shufan. The later photos, she saved herself and didn’t send to anyone.
That night.
Lian Li sat cross-legged on the sofa, a laptop on her lap. Her fingertips slid across the touchpad, one hand propping up her chin, as she focused on browsing the photos taken today.
The bathroom door opened.
Jin Shi Yue came out after his shower, exuding the scent of shower gel. His dark, tousled hair was semi-wet, with a few strands naturally falling onto his forehead.
He strode over and casually sat down on the sofa beside her, idly playing with his mobile phone.
Lian Li looked up, glanced at him, then lowered her gaze to continue fiddling with the photos.
A moment later, her shoulder suddenly felt heavy. Jin Shi Yue leaned his chin on her shoulder from behind. His still-damp hair, carrying a moist mist, brushed against the sensitive skin of her neck.
Lian Li instinctively flinched her neck, trembling slightly against his chest.
Seeing this, the man behind her chuckled lazily.
Lian Li had to stop what she was doing and turn to look at him, “What are you doing?”
