Chapter 080 Because of This Song
Lin Aoxue gently rubbed her temples, looking out the window, and said: “Why are you coming to find me now?”
“To ask for leave.”
“Why are you asking for leave?” Although she had already guessed most of it, Lin Aoxue still asked.
“Qin Ranlong is here, I’m taking him out for dinner,” Su Rui said apologetically: “So, I can’t have dinner with you or take you home tonight.”
“Do I need you to have dinner with me?”
Lin Aoxue said this, then suddenly raised her eyebrows and said: “However, if you’re planning to take me home, what about my safety?”
After saying this, Lin Aoxue herself was surprised. In the past, no matter what Su Rui said, she wouldn’t bother to express her opinion, and even uttering one or two words would be considered good. But now, this sentence clearly contained elements of making things difficult for Su Rui!
However, what she said was true. If the Western dark world chose to make a move when Su Rui wasn’t around, her personal safety would truly be at risk.
Su Rui smiled and snapped his fingers: “That’s simple. Either you come with me to have dinner with Qin Ranlong, or I take you home first and then go to dinner.”
Lin Aoxue shook her head: “No.”
Su Rui asked: “Are you afraid that if you come with me to have dinner with Qin Ranlong, and others see us, they’ll misunderstand even more?”
Lin Aoxue remained silent. From her expression, it seemed she was agreeing with Su Rui’s statement.
Su Rui showed a helpless expression: “Look, look, what did I just say? Why are you afraid of others misunderstanding again? Didn’t we agree not to live in others’ perspectives? Were my words just whitewashed—spoken in vain?”
At this point, Su Rui couldn’t help but adopt a serious tone: “We have nothing to fear when we’re in the right! Walk your own path, and let others have no path to walk!”
“You’re so boring. Just take me home first.” Lin Aoxue’s expression softened slightly.
“Alright then, I’ll go now. I’ll wait for you downstairs in half an hour,” Su Rui said with a chuckle.
Just as Su Rui was about to leave, Lin Aoxue stopped him.
“Wait.”
“What is it?” Seeing Lin Aoxue’s hesitant look, Su Rui was puzzled.
“Aren’t you afraid of others misunderstanding?” After pausing for a few seconds, Lin Aoxue asked seriously: “Or, are all men like this? Is this your instinctive reaction when facing the same type of situation? Is it that men naturally secrete more adrenaline than women in this regard? Does this physiological difference make men psychologically much calmer than women?”
Upon hearing this, Su Rui almost went crazy!
Because when Lin Aoxue was saying this, she had a completely serious academic expression!
Probably this girl, who had never understood men, was now treating men as her experimental subject!
My goodness, elevating the relationship between men and women to such a serious level, isn’t that too dull?
Truly worthy of being a super talented girl with dual degrees in medicine and management! Su Rui was completely dumbfounded!
It took a full two minutes to calm himself down. Su Rui finally leaned against the door frame, took several deep breaths, and with his most serious expression, slowly said: “Aoxue, to be honest, I’m quite happy about being misunderstood like this.”
After saying this, Su Rui put on what he considered his most handsome smile, waiting for Lin Aoxue’s reaction!
“Quite happy?” Lin Aoxue frowned slightly and pondered: “Why would happiness emerge? What physiological reaction causes this?”
Bang!
With a dull thud, Su Rui’s body had already collapsed on the ground!
Seeing Su Rui’s embarrassed appearance, the corners of Lin Aoxue’s mouth slightly curved into a barely noticeable arc.
…
After hearing that Su Rui would take Lin Aoxue home first, Qin Ranlong chuckled. This guy, after shedding that arrogant young master exterior, had a true nature even more lecherous than Su Rui.
“What are you laughing at?” Su Rui looked at that lecherous smile and said irritably.
Qin Ranlong shook his head while laughing: “Oh my, oh my, my company commander, I really didn’t expect you to hook up with Lin Aoxue. No, now I should call her sister-in-law. I still can’t believe it! Such a perfect beauty has been conquered by you. I don’t know how many people are envious and jealous!”
Obviously, Su Rui would still take Lin Aoxue home later, which in others’ eyes was the best manifestation of their intimate relationship.
Thinking about Lin Aoxue’s figure and appearance, Su Rui couldn’t help feeling a bit elated. Although it wasn’t true, being misunderstood like this felt pretty good.
“Well, she’s just a woman, what’s the big deal? No matter how beautiful she is, isn’t she still just a woman?” Su Rui waved his hand modestly: “Seeing her every day, I’ve become numb to it. Beauty is only skin deep, beauty is only skin deep.”
Lin Aoxue, who had just walked out from the corridor and heard Su Rui’s words, felt the urge to have smoke coming out of her nostrils!
This guy praises her beauty to her face every day, and now he’s saying she’s just skin deep. Which one is true and which is false?
Qin Ranlong nodded slightly: “Sister-in-law is here.”
Su Rui turned around and saw Lin Aoxue’s murderous glare.
“Let’s go home.”
Lin Aoxue threw her bag into Su Rui’s hands and walked coldly through the marketing department’s office hall.
Everyone understood, exchanging knowing glances. These two people were acting so convincingly, like mortal enemies, but now, not even half an hour later, they had already reconciled!
It wasn’t even time to get off work yet, and the beautiful CEO was already calling Su Rui to go home. Why such a hurry? It wasn’t even dark yet!
Su Rui quickly said to Qin Ranlong: “Wait for me at the company entrance. I’ll be back in an hour.”
“No problem, I can wait for you longer. After you get home, don’t rush back,” Qin Ranlong winked and smiled lecherously.
Su Rui turned around and gave Qin Ranlong the middle finger.
Today, Lin Aoxue was riding in a Bentley Mulsanne. She sat in the passenger seat, while Su Rui sat in the driver’s seat. The car drove very smoothly all the way, whether stopping or starting, without any jerking, like flowing water.
This was a concrete manifestation of driving skills. If it were some self-proclaimed skilled novices, they would drive the car very fast, but could never improve the overall comfort of the car. In this regard, Su Rui undoubtedly did extremely well.
“I heard Qin Ranlong call you company commander,” Lin Aoxue broke the silence halfway through the journey.
“Yes!” Su Rui glanced at the rearview mirror; today there seemed to be no one following them.
Lin Aoxue couldn’t help feeling annoyed. Usually, she was the one who spoke less, but how come today Su Rui also started answering with just one word per question? Couldn’t this guy answer proactively? Did he have to make her ask everything?
“Then why does he call you company commander?” Lin Aoxue struggled a bit before asking her second question.
“That question is simple, because I am his company commander!” Su Rui’s face lit up with a bright smile.
Lin Aoxue felt like she was about to faint from anger. When conversation doesn’t flow, it’s better to say less. Although she was interested in Su Rui’s past experiences, she had no mood to explore now!
Throughout the journey, Lin Aoxue didn’t say another word, even when Su Rui tried to tease her, she remained silent.
Su Rui couldn’t help feeling helpless. What kind of strange temperament did Lin Aoxue have? Why did she seem so difficult to please?
However, Su Rui didn’t mind. He was an optimist. Even if Lin Aoxue ignored him, he could still enjoy himself, humming an unknown song that sounded somewhat fresh and light.
“What song is that?”
Lin Aoxue couldn’t help asking. She felt the tune Su Rui was humming was somewhat familiar, but couldn’t remember where she had heard it before.
Su Rui thought very seriously, then smiled and said: “I don’t know either.”
Lin Aoxue didn’t even have the energy to glare at him, and directly turned to look out the window. However, at this moment, she didn’t notice that a mysterious look flashed in Su Rui’s eyes—because of this song.
The car entered the Lin family estate. After Lin Aoxue got out, Su Rui waved to her.
“Beautiful lady, let me borrow the car. You can deduct the gas money from my salary.”
After saying this, Su Rui didn’t wait for Lin Aoxue to respond and drove away in the Bentley Mulsanne in a very cool manner!
Lin Aoxue remained silent and turned to enter the villa.
At this time, Lin Fuzhang was sitting in his office, taking out a phone he had hardly used, and made a call.
“Why did you think of contacting me at this time?” A somewhat imposing voice came from the other end of the phone. It seemed this person was also someone who had been in a high position for a long time, otherwise, it would be impossible to reveal such a quality in simple conversation.
“Old friend, tell me, who exactly did you find for me? With just a few casual words, he successfully negotiated the cooperation between Bikang and Shengtian Group, and saved Bikang 40 percentage points in profit! You don’t know, that consistently arrogant Qin Ranlong, when he saw him, became incredibly obedient!”
“I told you before, old Lin, knowing his identity won’t do you any good,” the voice on the other end of the phone revealed a hint of helplessness. “You don’t know, for me to invite him this time, I almost used up all my face, almost had to trick and deceive him.”
“For you to use so much face to invite someone, his identity must be extraordinary,” Lin Fuzhang said with amazement. He knew the identity and power of the person on the other end. For such a person to say such words, Su Rui’s true status must not be below his!
The person on the other end of the phone had no reason to lie. Lin Fuzhang thought of Su Rui’s excessively young face and felt his heart violently contract several times!
“Old Lin, listen to my advice, don’t try to know what you shouldn’t know. You’re not from that circle. There are some things you don’t understand, but that’s definitely not a bad thing for you.”
After a pause, the other side continued: “Also, old Lin, don’t blame me for not warning you, any attempt to probe into his identity would be foolish for you! Don’t do it again, definitely don’t.”
Hearing the busy tone from the other end of the phone, Lin Fuzhang was a bit dazed. He suddenly felt that there were still too many things in this world that he couldn’t understand!
