But she heard his voice coming from outside the door.
"Breakfast is ready! Yan Yuan, why haven't you come out when I asked you to call someone? Are you okay? You want me to come in and help..."
Li Xiang asked with a hint of worry in his voice.
But before Li wanted to finish speaking, Zhang Ling immediately stopped her loudly and said:
"No, don't come in. Let's eat. Got it, we'll go out right away."
Yan Yuan looked at Zhang Ling's appearance and giggled loudly throughout the bedroom. She also deliberately teased Zhang Ling and said:
"Why are you nervous? It's not like Li Xiang has never seen you without makeup? In the future, after you get married, you won't be seen by Li Xiang every day. How will you handle yourself then?"
The voice was very loud, obviously it was deliberately said to Li Xiang who was outside the door.
He knew that eavesdropping was not good, but he couldn't suppress his curiosity. He wanted to continue to hear Zhang Ling's answer to this question.
After listening to Yan Yuan's words, Zhang Ling lowered her head and fell into deep contemplation.
She was really thinking about the question raised by Yan Yuan.
Should I wait for Li Xiang to take off his makeup every night, and then wait until he wakes up in the morning to put on makeup in advance?
Or just sleep in separate rooms?
Before she could decide which solution to use, she heard Yan Yuan's laughter again.
When she looked up at Yan Yuan again, she heard him say:
"Don't think about it, I've already thought about it for you. After you get married, when you are taking off your makeup, drive him out of the bedroom first. After you finish taking off your makeup and turn off the light, let him come in and continue..."
As Zhang Ling listened, she suddenly realized that she had been tricked by Yan Yuan so early in the morning.
"Shut up! Who wants to marry him?" She sternly stopped Yan Yuan from continuing, then picked up the pillow next to her and threw it at it, "Get out of here, you annoying guy, get out of here."
Yan Yuan deliberately shouted "Help" and jumped out.
As soon as she went out, she saw Li Xiang, standing not far from the bedroom door and signaling her to be quiet.
Because he didn't want Zhang Ling to know that he was eavesdropping.
The astute Yan Yuan understood immediately when Li Xiang agreed to pay the bill while shopping.
When he passed by Li Xiang, he specifically whispered in his ear:
"Brother-in-law, you have to work hard! I'm optimistic about you."
Li Xiang smiled and nodded without confidence.
Because he did not hear Zhang Ling's answer to this question with his own ears.
It felt like she knew he was eavesdropping outside the door.
That's why I deliberately didn't answer this question.
Just like when she encountered similar problems before, Zhang Ling chose to avoid them cleverly.
Is his pursuit of Zhang Ling a joke?
To be honest, he often doubts himself.
Whenever he heard Zhang Ling call him "little flea", his weird thoughts became particularly active.
Sometimes I even think that I am actually somewhat similar to a flea.
Parasitic insects that are good at jumping.
Just like he is Li Xiang's substitute, this should be a different kind of parasitism.
Fleas mainly feed on blood, just like humans.
Just like when he became Li Xiang's substitute before, it was just to let his grandma live with him for a few more years.
That's why he desperately sucked enough blood from the real Li Xiang.
He has put himself in danger many times and used his technical abilities to create more business value for Zhihua Technology.
Of course, Li Xiang did not treat him badly and promised to give him several bonuses on top of the original contract.
Grandma felt sorry that he had sacrificed too much and suffered too much, so she finally chose not to drag him down anymore.
After learning the truth, he originally wanted to go with his grandma, but he remembered her last wish.
In order to fulfill grandma's dying wish.
Choose to pursue Zhang Ling at all costs.
He thought about what it would be like if he abandoned his glamorous identity.
He didn't have enough confidence to fulfill his grandma's last wish.
So he took advantage of the flea's powerful parasitic ability and still chose to be Li Xiang's substitute, continuing to suck enough blood.
Only then can he have the right to mate and reproduce like fleas.
Fleas are quite sensitive to humidity and are often afraid of light and heat.
Just like no one in this world is impeccable.
Li Xiang is particularly sensitive in terms of emotions, and is very afraid that he will not be able to give Zhang Ling a high-quality life.
He was even more afraid that his love for Zhang Ling would be in vain in the end.
As a result, grandma's last wish could not be fulfilled in the end.
Maybe someone finds it strange!
He thinks he has to listen to his grandma about which woman he likes?
No, this is an excuse.
In other words, like Zhang Ling, in order to be with Li Xiang, she deliberately told herself that she only regarded Li Xiang as a substitute for her first love, Qi Diaozhe.
Essentially, they fell in love with each other from the moment they met on a blind date.
It's just that as humans, they are somewhat stubborn and unwilling to admit this fact directly.
Everyone will choose a reason that they think is most convincing to them.
camouflage.
Yes, it is to disguise their true inner purpose.
Or this is a unique way created by human civilization to create interest between men and women;
Or with the development of human civilization, trust among strangers has been completely lost. If you don’t want to be used as a gossip by gossips, you can only use this method to disguise yourself;
Or, like them, they originally just wanted to act for fun, but after falling in love at first sight, they embarked on an exciting journey of pretending to be real.
After Yan Yuan left the bedroom, Zhang Ling's restless heart could not calm down for a long time.
It was as if she was standing in front of a stove, and the oncoming heat waves made her cheeks turn red.
What exactly did she think of because of Yan Yuan's words?
Perhaps she is the only one who knows it best.
Under the increasingly groggy consciousness, a voice shouted loudly in my ear:
"Wake up, wake up, Zhang Ling, you must wake up for me. What are you thinking about?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she quickly ran towards the bathroom.
Even when Yan Yuan heard the commotion and asked about the situation, she didn't have time to answer.
I tried to use the coldness of the tap water to wash away the unbearable heat on my face.
Obviously, this method is useful.
Let her regain consciousness.
She looked at herself in the mirror seriously and warned:
"Zhang Ling, Zhang Ling, what are you thinking about? Remember, he is a substitute, you can't fall in love with him..."
substitute!
Li Xiang happened to come to the bathroom door and heard the two key words.
He interpreted that his identity as the real Li Xiang's stand-in had already been known to Zhang Ling.
"You can't fall in love with him"
These words echoed in my mind countless times.
He didn't know whether he should be happy or worried?
This joy meant that she had indeed loved him for a moment.
But it was only for a moment.
Worrying, he suddenly felt like he was being teased and taken advantage of.
Come to think of it, everything she did to him before was just for fun.
He actually foolishly thought that she was showing her true feelings.
She is definitely a movie queen level performer.
I successfully figured out his preferences at first glance.
She has always acted like the kind of woman he expected.
Let him successfully think that he has found true love.
This caused him to confess his infinite love to her crazily.
He raised the hand holding the spoon tremblingly, and a self-deprecating smile appeared on his face.
What is the purpose of him coming to make breakfast for her every day?
While he was silently praying to his dead grandma.
Said that they were all deceived by Zhang Ling.
Yan Yuan's clear and loud voice came from behind.
"Brother-in-law, you are standing at the door of the bathroom. If you don't ask Zhang Ling to come out for breakfast, why are you standing there?"
Zhang Ling's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. She quickly turned around and opened the door, and saw his eyes filled with disappointment and hatred for her.
broken!
What did he hear?
The warmth and love for her could no longer be seen in these eyes.
"Li Xiang……"
She wanted to try to save the situation, but she only called out his bold name, but couldn't think of what to say next?
Eavesdropping is shameless!
He was startled when he saw Zhang Ling appear.
I didn’t want to talk about what I had overheard, so I could only temporarily suppress all negative emotions, forced myself to show an awkward smile and said:
"Zhang Ling, are you okay?"
He did this for another reason.
That was because I agreed to Xiaodouzi to go on an outing together.
In line with the principle that adults should not give bad guidance to children.
He could only suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart.
Of course, the most important reason is the subsequent commitment to Zhen Li Xiang.
Shangguan Aoxue's birthday party and the Li family's sacrificial activities are all inseparable from Zhang Ling.
No matter how angry he was with Zhang Ling, he could not fall out with Zhang Ling now.
You must know that there are essential differences between mature adults and children.
That is responsibility!
"ah?!"
Zhang Ling looked back at the door with some confusion.
I thought maybe the bathroom door is very soundproof.
Or maybe he just arrived at the door because of something.
So he didn't actually hear anything.
"I want to say that breakfast is ready. If you are ready, come and eat together."
Li Xiang's polite actions will make people mistakenly think that he is the nanny or housekeeper of Zhang Ling's family.
"Oh!" She just remembered that she hadn't painted her eyebrows or combed her hair yet, so she couldn't help but turned to the side in embarrassment, "Five minutes, just five more minutes. You, if you are hungry, you can eat first, no need
He made a special trip to wait for me."
Although she felt that Li Xiang's words and actions were a bit strange.
But at this moment, she didn't want to think too much about it because of personal image issues.
I just hope that Li Xiang will disappear from his sight as soon as possible.
Yan Yuan, who was behind Li Xiang, heard this and shouted excitedly:
"Okay, okay, then let's..."
Li Xiang suppressed Yan Yuan's voice and said:
"Wait a minute, it's only five minutes. It's up in the blink of an eye. We're waiting for you."
After saying this, he turned around and saw Yan Yuan with a frustrated look on his face.
To Yan Yuan, he is the sponsor's father.
So Yan Yuan didn't dare to say anything to Li Xiang.
He could only plead with Zhang Ling to move faster with behavior that he couldn't understand.
That move seemed to say that if Zhang Ling didn't hurry up, Yan Yuan would definitely starve to death today.
When he returned to the dining table and sat down.
Yan Yuan instantly felt that the current space was so oppressive that he could hardly breathe.
So I guess Li must have heard something at the door.
To be honest, he was most worried that Li Xiang would cancel today's trip because of this.
So he boldly moved the chair towards Li Xiang, carefully observed his expression and said softly:
"Brother-in-law, while Zhang Ling is away, tell me quietly, did you hear something at the door just now?"
Yan Yuan thought about what if Zhang Ling said something that could be misunderstood.
It's better to explain it clearly in advance.
After all, sometimes women will understand something instantly when it is mentioned, but if a man hears it, it will definitely lead to misunderstanding.
Li Xiang came back to his senses and looked at Yan Yuan sideways and said:
"No. Why do you ask that?"
"No! Then why have you been so distracted since you came back? It feels like you have done something wrong."
Li Xiang heard that Yan Yuan was hinting at what he had just eavesdropped on.
Unfortunately, he felt that this word should be most applied to Zhang Ling.
At most, he overheard her true thoughts.
No matter how you compare it, it is far less shameful than Zhang Ling’s behavior.
However, he would never confess a single word about the relationship between Yan Yuan and Zhang Ling.
In order to ease the current embarrassing situation, he pretended to be relaxed and smiled happily and said:
"When you do bad things, I remember Zhang Ling said, that is your Yan Yuan's patent. Why did you just apply this to me?"
When Yan Yuan heard Li Xiang's words, he quickly looked away with flashing eyes, and at the same time there was an uncomfortable burning sensation on his face.
But she did not forget to defend herself:
"Brother-in-law, are you embarrassed? People are kind-hearted and want to help you, but you bluntly expose their scars. Huh, I ignore you."
Saying that, Yan Yuan quickly moved the chair as far away as possible.
"Help me? Haha, forget it. You'd better be honest and stop causing trouble for Zhang Ling. That will be the greatest help to me."
After saying this, even he found it incredible.
Because until now, he was still habitually thinking about Zhang Ling.
No wonder Yan Yuan laughed at his love for Zhang Ling, which had penetrated into his bones.
Ridicule was ridicule, he didn't even say a word of excuse for this, and allowed Yan Yuan to laugh wantonly.
Because that's what he wants.
Through Yan Yuan's laughter, Zhang Ling's doubts about him were completely dispelled.
He had thought about it, and as long as Zhang Ling didn't get to the bottom of it, he would never care about it.
It can be regarded as not leaving any regrets in this life and successfully completing the final promise to Li Xiang.
Yes, he didn't want to anger Zhang Ling from the bottom of his heart.
Because she is his first love.
He just wants to keep all the beauty of his first love in his mind as much as possible.
Sudden!
A hand naturally rested on his shoulder, and an apologetic voice sounded in his ear.
"Sorry, I'm late. Li Xiang, can we eat now?"
Zhang Ling deliberately asked Li Xiang in this way.
Because she heard Yan Yuan laughing at him, she felt strong dissatisfaction in her heart.
Subconsciously, she thinks that her man is domineering and only allows him to laugh at her. Others who dare to laugh at her will have to pay the price.
The first purpose is to confirm Li Xiang's status in this family, first let Yan Yuan know how to restrain himself, and then punish him as appropriate depending on his performance.
Yan Yuan alertly noticed Zhang Ling's intentions and immediately suppressed all smiles towards Li Xiang.
Then, just like the juniors at the ancient dinner table, they stood up and politely greeted the elders or masters of the family.
She even said publicly with a very knowing look that she would wash the pots and dishes after today's meal.
Zhang Ling saw that Yan Yuan was so sensible and stopped arguing with her for the time being.
The second purpose is to finally confirm whether Li Xiang really heard nothing?
When she clearly felt the trembling of his shoulders, and clearly saw a trace of nervousness in his surprised eyes.
She confirmed that Li Xiang had indeed heard something.
It's just that it's not yet certain how much information he heard.
What worries her most is that he heard the words about the double.
