Chapter 192 Its raining heavily outside that wont stop
The rain was still falling, and there were not many pedestrians visible on the road.
Sitting in the driver's seat of Kim Taeyeon's sports car, Lin Zengxian held the steering wheel and looked forward without saying a word.
Everything that needs to be said has been said just now. Always give the people around you some time to digest it.
In the passenger seat, the woman who had gone out in a hurry without an umbrella was sulking, wondering what she was thinking.
Before getting into the car, Lin Zengxian's wind-shielding hand came over, pinched the hood of her sweatshirt, and fastened it on her head.
Now, Kim Taeyeon feels a little lucky.
The hood can block her face, preventing Lin Zengxian from seeing her expression clearly.
Because she didn't know what her expression was now.
The world's third largest heavy machinery equipment manufacturing group...
In terms of turnover, asset ratio, profitability and other data that are often used to evaluate the world's top 500 companies, Lin Zengxian's family is indeed inferior to many companies. After all, the manufacturing industry itself suffers in this regard.
However, when it comes to technical advantages in the professional field, Lin Zengxian's family is top-notch and belongs to the industry's rule makers.
Globally, if there is any infrastructure that cannot be built even with his own equipment, then there is nothing that can be done.
No wonder, Lin Zengxian said before that his family sells toys.
That's what "toy" actually means.
Raising her hand to grab the edge of the hat, she pulled the hood down further. Kim Taeyeon covered her eyes with her hands, and her back, which was not straight at all, relaxed a little more, and her whole body slumped in the car.
On the seat.
No wonder Lin Zengxian rarely mentions things at home...
It was difficult to find an accurate word to describe her mood at the moment. She suddenly felt that Lin Zengxian was very close and yet very far away.
So close that you could reach out and grab his sleeve now, so far away that you couldn't find anything to talk about at the moment.
"arrive."
Just when Kim Taeyeon's head was still full of mush, Lin Zengxian parked the car on the side of the road, where he parked his car when he dropped Kim Taeyeon off.
"Go home and have a good rest, and be careful not to catch a cold."
After unbuckling his seat belt and picking up his umbrella, Lin Zengxian reached out and grasped the door handle of the driver's seat.
He had memorized the route just now and could walk back to the approximate location without relying on navigation.
However, when he pulled the car door and paused, Kim Taeyeon's hand held his sleeve.
This was something Lin Zengxian didn't expect.
After hearing such news, he wouldn't be surprised if the person next to him stayed silent for a week and didn't take the initiative to talk to him.
"Oppa, please give me the umbrella."
However, Kim Taeyeon has spoken now.
"You want me to go back in the rain?"
Lin Zengxian did not show the surprise in his heart, and immediately followed what Kim Taeyeon said and gave a normal response.
However, he did hand the umbrella to Kim Taeyeon.
"Are you going to go back in the rain?"
Still maintaining a sullen posture, Kim Taeyeon looked at the umbrella handed to her and slowly loosened her fingers from Lin Zengxian's sleeve.
"If you want an umbrella, I'll leave it to you."
After releasing the door handle, Lin Zengxian turned his head and looked to his side, his eyes moving slightly.
The man had already lifted his hood, and his blond hair was slightly messy. Under his inconspicuous brows were a pair of eyes that seemed to be evasive as if they had been caught in the rain, and tightly pursed lips.
He didn't know what the person in front of him was thinking, but he didn't intend to ask.
Today is equivalent to a showdown. As long as some words are spoken, certain things are bound to change.
And "some words" must be said.
Therefore, he is mentally prepared for any outcome and has even become accustomed to it.
The two of them were silent for a while, and the car was so quiet that you could hear breathing.
Kim Taeyeon's hand on the side near the passenger door was slowly clenched and then slowly loosened, over and over again.
"Then why don't you ask me why I need your umbrella?"
Finally, Kim Taeyeon broke the silence and stretched out her hand, which was slightly red from clenching it repeatedly, to hold the umbrella.
"Don't ask, I'll give it to you if you want it. You don't want me to go back in the rain, so you must have your reasons."
Glancing at Kim Taeyeon's hand holding the umbrella, Lin Zengxian paused for a moment and let go of his hand.
"Why should you believe me? You..."
Her words were breathless and her breathing began to become rapid. Kim Taeyeon opened her mouth, fluttered her eyelashes, and swallowed the unfinished words.
In other words, it's not that she didn't finish what she said, but that she didn't know what to say.
She didn't even know what kind of emotions were dominating her heart at this moment.
It was as if there was a breath held in the chest, running rampant and unable to find an exit.
"On that rainy night, you called me, sang to me, and even drove out to find me today, all because you know that I actually have a shadow of heavy rain, right?"
Lin Zengxian stretched out the hand that had just passed the umbrella, raised his thumb and palm upward, as if he was inviting a lady to dance at a ball.
Without speaking, Kim Taeyeon's brows trembled twice, then she bit her lips and took a deep breath to suppress the sour feeling that was about to appear on the tip of her nose.
She touched Lin Zengxian's palm with her peripheral vision, and the hand holding the umbrella became harder and harder until the veins popped out and her knuckles turned white.
This umbrella, which had been retracted and folded, was obviously light and compact, but it made her feel very heavy.
"Can't I trust such a friend?"
Lowering his gaze, Lin Zengxian looked at the palms of his hands, no longer looking at the people around him.
He no longer knows what the other person is thinking and doesn't want to make the other person feel pressured.
"Who are you anyway?"
Putting down the umbrella and stretching out her index finger to poke Lin Zengxian's palm, Kim Taeyeon adjusted her breathing to make her voice less emotional.
Originally, when she took the umbrella, she had already planned to hold the umbrella and walk back, letting Lin Zengxian drive her car back to the hotel.
However, now she didn't bother to tell Lin Zengxian this plan, she just wanted to hear an answer.
"I am your friend, Dr. Lin."
Knowing what the people around him were asking, Lin Zengxian was sure that his answer was what the other person wanted to hear.
He was also convinced that his answer was sincere and not a lie.
At any time, he is "Dr. Lin" first, not "Chairman Lin".
Feeling that the tight string in her heart was broken, Kim Taeyeon lowered her head, looked directly at Lin Zengxian's palm and her index finger, took a deep breath, then opened her mouth slightly, and exhaled little by little.
In the process, her shoulders slowly sank, and the fingers that were poking Lin Zengxian seemed to have lost their strength.
As soon as the knuckles were loosened, the hand fell crookedly into Lin Zengxian's palm.
She heard the answer she wanted, but her mind was still blank and she couldn't piece together a complete sentence.
"Go home and rest early, I'm leaving first."
Lin Zengxian did not close his fingers to hold Kim Taeyeon's hand. Instead, he held Kim Taeyeon's hand and slowly lowered it, gently placing her hand on her knee.
Click...
The driver's door is opened.
It's raining heavily outside and won't let up.
Bang...
The driver's door is closed.
Kim Taeyeon suddenly raised her head and saw that Lin Zengxian's figure had disappeared into the rain curtain.
Lin Zengxian's umbrella was lying on her lap.
At this moment, she felt that the string in her heart was no longer broken, but that the wall that had been built in a hurry collapsed in a hurry.
Her pupils dilated slightly, and she reached out and grabbed the umbrella.
