Lin Zi had no way to deal with Qi Yang's strength. After a while, she said feebly, "I understand."
Qi Yang rubbed her head with satisfaction and gentleness. Just like two years ago, when he went out, he held her hand in full view of everyone. Lin Zi knew that he couldn't break away, so he simply compromised.
After the colleagues saw the two leaving, they kept talking, some good and some bad, "Oh my God, Mr. Qi is really together with Lin Zi?"
"Didn't you see that the two people's hands were intertwined, and Mr. Qi couldn't hide the pride on his face? Isn't that love?"
A sour voice came from the crowd, "I said, how could Mr. Qi invest in a venue for us for no reason? That's it."
This sentence reached Assistant Lin Zi's ears, and she rushed forward, "Clear your mouth and let me hear you again. It will be easier for you!"
Qi Yang is indeed a perfect love partner when he treats you sincerely. He is always observing the other person's feelings. He will open the car door for her in advance, lest she knock her head and help her block it with his hands.
The seat belt was fastened without her having to do anything when she got into the car. The bite mark on the collarbone was scabbed. Qi Yang used a cotton swab to soak a lot of the alcohol used to treat the wound in the car and gently applied it on her.
Lin Zi is a person who is afraid of pain, but this time she did not show any discomfort, her expression was calm throughout the whole process, like a doll at the mercy of others.
Qi Yang tried to awaken her memory, "Do you remember, you bit me on my collarbone two years ago, and there are still traces of it that can't be removed."
Lin Zi closed her eyes and said nothing, turning her head to the other side. Qi Yang suppressed the loneliness in her heart and comforted herself that it didn't matter, she would forgive herself one day.
Qi Yang drove to her favorite restaurant and ordered all the dishes she liked. He kept picking up dishes for her like a treasure.
Lin Zi moved the plate back and said in a distant voice, "Thank you, these are enough for me."
She lowered her head and chewed the food stiffly, unable to taste the deliciousness anymore.
Qi Yang didn't say anything anymore. He didn't know whether he was angry when he gave up because of the difficulty. Lin Zi felt at ease and finally didn't have to deal with him.
During the meal, Zhou Run called her once and asked her to go home in the evening.
The bite marks couldn't be seen by Zhou Run. She had no appetite and didn't even want to pretend this time. Lin Zi thought of a large shopping mall near the restaurant. She put down her chopsticks and said, "I'm going to the mall to buy something."
Qi Yang didn't eat much. He understood what Lin Zi was going to do. He stood up and said, "I'll go with you."
Lin Zi did not refuse. She went to the mall and chose a one-piece black dress that covered her collarbones. After Qi Yang saw her put it on, he sincerely praised her, "You look beautiful no matter what you wear."
Lin Zi replied expressionlessly, "Thank you."
After several hours of suffocating interactions, Lin Zi felt relieved to go home, but Qi Yang did not allow her to do so.
"Zi Zi, shouldn't you give me a farewell kiss? Two years ago you would have asked me for it, and I was satisfied with you."
Lin Zi was forced to recall that she was deceived by his disguised appearance at that time. She always held back her shyness and made some inexplicable requests to him, such as the farewell kiss mentioned by Qi Yang.
She just wanted to do it perfunctorily and kissed him carelessly on the face. Just as she was about to get out of the car, he pulled her back again.
Maybe no one would have thought that his always cold appearance hides such a childish side, that he would be clingy and beg for a farewell kiss from his beloved.
Qi Yang pointed to the position of his thin lips and said dissatisfiedly, "This is where I kissed you before, Zi Zi, equal exchange, do you understand?"
He looked at her expectantly, like a large dog begging for love from its owner. Lin Zi's heart skipped a beat and she kissed her as he requested.
A simple inkling would not satisfy him at all. Qi Yang understood that forcing her to stay by his side was enough to take advantage of others, so he resisted the idea of ​​continuing.
His voice was hoarse and he said, "Go in."
Lin Zi turned around and left without any hesitation. As soon as she entered the house, she found that Zhou Run was in a good mood and had cooked a lot of dishes. He also invited a guest, who she knew very well.
Jiang Jie, a friend who tricked her father into buying shares in a shell company, was visibly startled when Jiang Jie saw Lin Zi. Zhou Run had never been too wary of familiar people around him.
He said simply, "Your Uncle Jiang is indeed a talented person in business. Thanks to you Uncle Jiang, my father made a huge profit this time."
Lin Zi snorted coldly and looked at him with a half-smile, "Then, may I ask Uncle Jiang, how does the company make money?"
Jiang Jie poured liquor into the cup with a guilty conscience. Qi Yang had clearly told him when he acquired the company that all this was done for Lin Zi's sake, and asked him to get his mentality right, otherwise no one would do it next time.
He cleans up the mess caused by "greedy".
He originally wanted to make a lot of money from this relationship, but it could be seen from Lin Zi's expression that she already knew the ins and outs of the matter.
So he didn't dare to look at Lin Zi at all, and answered vaguely, "Why is Chi Yue so serious? Isn't it just that he was acquired by someone?"
Jiang Jie is the last person who has the right to say that she is serious. As a friend for many years, how could he not know that the company lost money and collapsed, Zhou Run was saddled with huge foreign debts, all the money he had spent for many years was in vain, and his excitement caused a heart attack!
She looked at Zhou Run, who was still toasting Jiang Jie, and resisted the urge to slam the table.
After the meal, Lin Zi smiled at Zhou Run. There was nothing unusual on the surface, "Dad, Uncle Jiang may have drunk too much. I'll see him off!"
Jiang Jie kept saying no, he was too anxious to wear his shoes, so Lin Zi "sent" him to the door, giving him an ultimatum: "I respect you because my dad respects you, but if you dare to take advantage of my dad next time
, I will use Qi Yang to make it impossible for you to survive in Beilin!"
He left in embarrassment, and Lin Zi let out a breath, never expecting that one day he would need to use Qi Yang's power to intimidate others.
Lin Zi didn't stay at home for long after returning to the house. She pretended to remind Zhou Run casually, "Dad, you need to be more careful even with the people around you."
Zhou Run knew that she would not say this for no reason, and asked in confusion, "Chi Yue, what's wrong?"
Qi Yang handed her something when she got out of the car. Lin Zi opened it and took a look when she entered the house. It was all the money Jiang Jie lost in gambling.
Lin Zi's expression was serious, "Dad, you have also seen what kind of business a person like Uncle Jiang who hangs out in the casino can do. Maybe the money he earned this time was just a coincidence. Maybe something will happen next time. My daughter won't
I wish you great wealth and honor, and I just hope you are safe."
Zhou Run's expression relaxed a lot, and he said happily, "Everyone says that daughters are father's little cotton-padded jackets, and they are indeed right."
Lin Zi believed that Zhou Run had an idea, and he probably wouldn't be easily fooled next time.
After settling the matter, she felt relieved. She had no intention of staying here, but because Qi Yang didn't drive here either.
When she walked to the door, Lin Zi found Qi Yang leaning on the black car and smoking. She couldn't understand why Qi Yang stayed here and never left.
Qi Yang quickly put out the cigarette on his fingertips, and when he saw her coming over, he hugged her without any warning, and said in a hoarse voice, "What should I do, Zi Zi, I haven't kissed you enough!"
