Jingdou was very noisy under the night sky. At least, Lin Qing did not feel that tranquility. Walking on the street full of street lamps, his eyes were dark. There was only a deep disgust for the darkness of the capital in his heart. After hearing about the Lin family's past, he could no longer maintain the peace in his heart. A bone-deep hatred filled his chest, and his knuckles cracked.
Old man, what were you thinking back then? Did you already plan for me to wash away your humiliation? Hehe, although it can be considered as being set up by you, I'm very happy! A debt of blood must be repaid with blood!
Standing at the entrance of the villa, Lin Qing took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. He calmed himself down a little, not wanting to show too much in front of Chu Xinru.
"Where did you go? Why are you only back now? Have you eaten?"
After the press conference, she ran straight back to the villa, but Lin Qing was nowhere to be seen. She left her phone in the room. Chu Xinru had no choice but to sit in the living room and watch TV. She waited until it was past ten. At this moment, when they saw Lin Qing, all the words that they wanted to blame him turned into condolences.
"Ha, it was too boring. I went out for a walk and ate outside.”Lin Qing's smile was very natural. He couldn't help but feel that he had some talent in acting.
"You don't know the place. It's better not to go out alone in the future. Next time, bring your phone with you. If you get lost, call me.”Chu Xinru nagged like a little wife and handed Lin Qing's phone over.
Lin Qing took the phone and looked at the screen. The 20 missed calls were all from Chu Xinru. It seemed that he was not satisfied with the name Chu Xinru in the phone's contact list and changed it to female boss. Lin Qing couldn't help but laugh out loud. He was already a singer, yet he still loved to be funny.
"Xinru, thank you for your concern.”
"What? You, you're my bodyguard, which means you're my subordinate. Of course, the boss has to care about his subordinate. Otherwise, why would you risk your life to protect me!”
Looking at Chu Xinru's blushing face as she explained, Lin Qing couldn't help but walk to her side and hug her. Her wounded heart was greatly comforted by Chu Xinru's concern. She choked and said,""Xinru, thank you for letting me feel the warmth of family. I will definitely protect you! I won't let anyone hurt you!"
Chu Xinru's heart thumped. He hugged me? He took the initiative to hug me? Am I dreaming? Even when the fans were interacting, Chu Xinru never hugged the fans who went on stage. She only shook hands with them. Now, she was actually being hugged by a man, and a fake fan at that!
Chu Xinru's face turned red. She stretched out her hands several times but did not dare to wrap them around him. She bit her lips tightly and was about to wrap her arms around his waist when the person who was hugging her released her. The courage that she had gathered with great difficulty instantly vanished. She quickly withdrew her hands. Her two small hands were swaying beside her, not knowing where to put them.
Lin Qing finally felt that something was not right. The two of them had just gotten into a scandal. In the afternoon, they were still thinking about how to clarify things. At night, they even hugged each other! Lin Qing was at a loss and stood rooted to the ground. He explained awkwardly,"Xinru, no, I'm sorry! I-I didn't do it on purpose! It's just that I'm too touched…that's why I'm like this!”
"I don't blame you!" Chu Xinru's voice was as soft as a mosquito. She lowered her head and fiddled with the corner of her clothes shyly. Even a fool could tell that she was interested in Lin Qing.
Of course, Lin Qing could see it too, and he was very distressed. It's over, it's over! Minmin even said that she would come over often and would definitely notice something. He cursed himself for being brainless and provoking others for no reason. He didn't even think about the fact that he was betrothed when he was a child!
"Lin Qing, what's wrong?" After a long time, Lin Qing remained silent. Chu Xinru thought that something had happened to him.
Exhaling, Lin Qing seemed to have made a big decision. He looked at Chu Xinru and said,""Xinru, I grew up in the countryside. My grandfather raised me up. It was only two months ago when he passed away that I came to the capital to seek refuge with my uncle. My uncle has a daughter called Chen Simin. Grandpa told me that I was engaged to her when I was young. Although I moved out of her house, I can't betray this betrothal. So…so I'm not worth it!”
Lin Qing heaved a sigh of relief when he said this. He finally opened his mouth. Lin Qing carefully observed Chu Xinru's reaction. If she said that she wanted him to leave the villa, he would have no choice but to do so, and he would not blame her.
Chu Xinru was stunned for a moment before she suddenly laughed." Hehe, why are you telling me this? Do you really think I'm in love with you? Idiot! I'm your boss, and you're my bodyguard. That's our relationship. I'm just concerned about my subordinates. What are you thinking?”
"Is that so? That's good, that's good." Lin Qing spoke casually, but he felt a sense of loss.
"Alright! If there's nothing else, rest early. I still have a few activities to attend tomorrow!”Chu Xinru smiled and returned to her room.
A betrothal? So what? It's not like you really like her. She has already forced you out, but you're still clinging to the agreement of the previous generation! I don't care. You're living in my house now. One day, you'll fall in love with me! Chu Xinru, who had her back to Lin Qing, revealed a strange smile. It was not that easy for her to let go.
The most embarrassing thing for a man was to think too highly of himself in front of a woman. It was fine if he was a little thick-skinned. Perhaps he would find a little humor to create a way out of his embarrassment. However, people like Lin Qing, who had a tender face, suffered a great blow. Although he wanted to reject others, he was mocked instead. She said that on purpose, so Lin Qing could only comfort himself with the spirit of Ah Q. This was Lin Qing's ultimate weapon.
Lying on the bed, Lin Qing tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. His mind was filled with images of Chen Qiaowei's story. The dream he had a few days ago was also entangled with these images, making Lin Qing's heart extremely troubled. No matter how much he thought about it, he just didn't know how to take revenge. He didn't even know what Zhou Jianying looked like.
After what happened to Qi Qing, Lin Qing didn't dare to trust anyone, not even Chen Qiaowei, who was his uncle in name.
However, Lin Qing was sure that this story was not very detailed, and the old man's identity was real. However, he didn't have any cards to play. Old man, what do you think we should do? Lin Qing entered Mengxiang with these questions in his mind.
Today, Chu Xinru had a lot of activities to attend. She had to go to the management company in the morning to finish the final recording of her new album. In the afternoon, she had to visit a cancer fan who was crazy about her. In the evening, she had to attend the Zhou family's business cocktail party to thank her for endorsing the Zhou Corporation's advertisement.
Lin Qing looked at his schedule for the day. Fortunately, the area was all in the capital. He didn't have to fly between cities. After some thought, he discussed with Chu Xinru,""Xinru, I won't be attending tonight's cocktail party, right?”
"Why?"
"There will definitely be protective measures at the business cocktail party. You won't be in any danger, so it's unnecessary for me to go.”Lin Qing had a good reason. He didn't like to go to parties where he wore a mask and wandered around.
"How can there be no danger? This was the Zhou Corporation, and Zhou Jianying was the secretary of the Capital City Party Committee. He might be attacked! What if I'm implicated? You'd better accompany me!" She wasn't afraid of cursing the country's politicians.
" Who are you talking about?!"
"Zhou Jianying! He was the secretary of the Jingdu City Party Committee and also the head of the Zhou family!”
"Hehe, okay. I'll go with you tonight.”Coincidence came one after another. Being Chu Xinru's bodyguard had its benefits.
