Hi, it's Mr. Lin!
Chapter 90 I still want to punish you
Chapter 90 I still want to punish you
The two of them ran far away before stopping, Chen Xiaonian still didn't forget to look back to see if anyone was following.
"How is it? Your wife's acting skills are not bad!"
Lin Qi looked at his wife with tears in her eyes and looked really proud. He couldn't help but lament that he was really scared just now. He didn't expect to kiss his wife to take the scene in an instant. He only thought about what if she really got angry with him. How to take the blame and plead guilty.
"My wife is amazing!"
Although Lin Qi was improvising just now, that question was also what he was always worried about.Chen Xiaonian cast a glance at him, this guy's thoughts were all written on his face.
"Although it was acting just now, you still have to be punished!"
Lin Qi was a little astonished, and looked at Chen Xiaonian for no reason.
"What are you punished for?"
Chen Xiaonian didn't explain why he was punished, and walked forward stroking his chin, when suddenly he had a flash of inspiration and said, "I will punish you not to see me for a week."
"That won't work, I can't live without my wife, not even for a day!"
Lin Qi stepped forward to hold Chen Xiaonian, secretly deciding in his heart that he would bring him with him on business trips in the future. The last time he could only watch but not eat was really uncomfortable.
"Hmph! No? That's up to you, don't think I don't know what you're thinking, it's called acting, it's really a temptation!"
Chen Xiaonian thought that it was necessary to let Lin Qi know where he was wrong, otherwise if someone got in the way between the two of them, wouldn't they have to go the other way?
"I made a mistake, I won't dare in the future, forgive me this time, okay?"
Seeing Lin Qi's pitiful expression, Chen Xiaonian said he was unmoved, and looked at his upper body with arms folded.After not seeing his wife wavering for a while, Lin Qi decided to act first and carry her back.At the same time as he made some moves, Chen Xiaonian shot under Lin Qi's arm with a feint shot.The two ran one after the other, Chen Xiaonian tried his best, and Lin Qi also tried his best.Seeing that he was about to catch up, a taxi parked by the side of the road gave Chen Xiaonian hope.
Opening the car door and jumping in, Chen Xiaonian panted and urged the driver to drive to the neighborhood where her mother and daughter lived.The driver also thought she was in some danger, and asked her if she wanted to call the police while starting the car and leaving.
"Thank you brother, he is my husband."
Chen Xiaonian's words silenced the driver, the feeling was a couple quarreling and playing a game of chasing each other.Lin Qi chased him for a long time, and the driver couldn't bear to see him in the rearview mirror.Seeing that he couldn't catch up, he gradually stopped, hugged himself with his arms and squatted down, surrounded by heavy sadness.She will really leave her, right?
"Mom, I'm back!"
One of Chen's father and Chen's mother is watching the news, and the other is tending flowers and plants.I was startled when I heard my daughter's voice, why did she come back suddenly so early and not too late, and she was still alone.Looking at the red eyes of the daughter, it is clear that she has cried. Could it be that the young couple had a quarrel?
"Nian Nian, what's wrong with you?"
Chen Ma put down the scissors in her hand and hurried over to ask, looking at her daughter lovingly.Ok!Gained a little weight.
"Mom, don't worry about it so much, if Lin Qi comes later, none of you are allowed to open the door for him!"
Chen Xiaonian picked up the teapot and poured it down a cup, her thirsty throat was relieved a lot.Ten minutes later, the videophone at the door rang. Chen Ma saw that it was indeed Lin Qi, and saw that his regular and neat hairstyle was a little messy, the tie of his shirt was loosened, and his chest was wide open. Panting heavily, he said intermittently, "Mom and Dad, I'm here to look for Niannian, please open the door, please?"
The sweat on his face showed that Lin Qi ran all the way from the Lin residence.Although the distance is not very far, there is still a distance of more than ten kilometers. Coupled with the fact that it was such a hot day, Chen Ma was very distressed. Just as she was about to open the door for him, she was stopped by Chen Xiaonian.
"Xiao Qi, Nian Nian is angry now, why don't you come back in two days?"
Mother Chen had no choice but to do what her daughter said.Father Chen couldn't stand it any longer. He stood up and said to his daughter seriously, "Xiao Nian, Lin Qi has treated you well since he was a child. If it's so hot today, how can he keep people from coming in? Are there any conflicts to talk about?" Enough."
"Dad, you don't understand. I'll tell you in detail after he's gone. Anyway, he's not allowed to come in."
Chen Xiaonian looked at the door again, the person was no longer there, she felt a little lost and relaxed, for a while she couldn't tell what she was feeling.
"Nian Nian, what happened to you and Xiao Qi?"
Seeing that there was no one at the door, Chen's mother took her daughter's hand and sat on the sofa to ask.Chen Xiaonian recounted today's events from the beginning to the end, it's okay not to mention it, but when this matter is mentioned, the anger in her heart rises.
"Xiao Qi just cares too much about you!"
Chen's mother patted her daughter's head, and she could understand her anger, but she didn't want to lose sight of her!
"Do you think that Xiaoqi should be confident and confident because he lived in a wealthy family since he was a child? You only see what he has, but you can't see what he really wants. He has always looked for you since you were in school, even though your The distance between classes is far away, and he still enjoys it. You went to university and he studied abroad. You also said that when you went to see him, the way you studied hard made people feel distressed. For more than a year, don't you know why this is all?"
Chen's mother paused and continued: "It's not that he is not confident enough in himself. He is afraid that there will be someone better than him around you, so he wants to take you by his side all the time. It is the same style as your father, When I was in school, I watched me very closely, and in private, he frightened and threatened me and drove away a few classmates who had a crush on me. He thought he was perfect, but he just didn’t want to expose him.”
Chen's mother's words made Chen's father's face flash with embarrassment: "This is an old story, why mention it."
Chen's mother glared at her husband, then turned around and continued to persuade her daughter: "Mom can understand your anger, but your behavior is wrong. You should give him enough sense of security and let him know that you will always be by his side."
"How can I give him a sense of security!"
Chen Xiaonian broke down in tears when he heard half of it, and he mentioned Lin Qi's grievance when he was wronged.Chen Ma hugged her daughter and patted her on the back gently, comforting her softly.Finally, Chen Xiaonian calmed down, and Aunt Bai, who had been watching for a long time, came over and said, "Miss, do you still remember when you suddenly had a high fever and fell into a coma when you were in junior high school? It was flushed, and he kept praying that you would wake up quickly and let him do whatever he wanted. Seeing your bruised hands wet the sheets with tears, it is really sad to see."
Chen Xiaonian vaguely recalled something like this in her mind. It was a holiday at that time, and she seemed to fall into the water for fun, and she was in the hospital after waking up.At that time, I only saw my parents, parents-in-law and mother-in-law present, and I didn't expect such a story.
"It was Young Master Lin who saved you. At that time, he hugged you back wet and trembling. His own lips were purple and blue from the cold, but the only words in his mouth were 'hurry up and save her'."
Aunt Bai wiped her eyes as she spoke, her voice was already choked up.They could all see Young Master Lin's love for his young lady. As long as the two of them were together, their eyes would only follow the young lady.
Chen Ma signaled Aunt Bai not to say anything, just took her daughter's hand and looked at her quietly.Chen Xiaonian was confused for a moment, she didn't know whether this punishment should continue or not.I feel sorry for his lack of self-confidence, and I don't want him to doubt his feelings for him so much in the future.
"Nian Nian, love follows your heart, just do it according to your instinct."
Chen's mother saw her daughter's entanglement, Chen Xiaonian raised her head and looked at her mother, seeing the encouraging eyes made her finally make a decision.I got up and opened the door, but I didn't see anyone, so I ran out in a panic and looked around.Suddenly being hugged from behind, the slightly trembling body of that person made Chen Xiaonian's eyes turn red.
"Near."
The voice carried the joy of being forgiven, but also the guilt of trying to test Chen Xiaonian.Lin Qi's arms became tighter and tighter, Chen Xiaonian struggled to push his arms away and turned around.
Lin Qi's heart sank the moment Chen Xiaonian pulled his arm away, thinking that she had forgiven him, was it his extravagant hope after all?Lin Qi took a step back and lowered his hands slowly, not daring to raise his eyes to meet his wife's eyes, for fear of seeing blame, disappointment and determination from inside.
"sorry."
Chen Xiaonian sighed, stepped forward and took his hand and put it on her waist, then wrapped her around his waist, put her face on her chest and listened to the strong and powerful heartbeat that made her sleep peacefully every night.
"Stupid, what are you doing apologizing for? I just think you were suspected of trying to strangle me to death just now. Do you not love me anymore?"
Lin Qi explained in a panic: "No, that's not the case. How could I not love my wife? I am the person who loves my wife the most besides my parents."
"I just thought my wife... thought my wife didn't want her husband anymore."
The voice of the latter sentence became lower and lower, and Chen Xiaonian tiptoed to kiss his forehead.
"Stupid, my wife won't let her husband go, it's just a moment of anger. Also, don't go to a shady place, what do you have to do standing in the sun, and hide at the base of the wall, does heat stroke make you anxious?"
He patted Lin Qi's head, his cheeks were a little red from being in the sun for too long.Chen Xiaonian pulled him into the room and asked him to sit down, while she sat on the single sofa and stared at him.Compared with his usual high-spirited and imposing manner, this slovenly appearance is even more exciting, a bit like a puppy abandoned by its owner.
"Mom, I'm sorry to make you worry."
Lin Qi lowered his head like a child who made a mistake, which made Chen's father and mother beside him very sad.When I saw him before, he was always full of vigor and vitality, but now he looks like a loner.
"Good boy, don't say such things. It's because our family is ignorant, so don't take it to heart."
Chen Ma patted Lin Qi's hand to comfort him, it's really a sin to be made into such a good person by her daughter!Thinking of this, she glanced at her daughter, the innocent Chen Xiaonian blinked and said what's going on?
"I want to stay at home for a few days."
Just coming out of her parents' room, Chen Xiaonian took a look at Lin Qi who was obediently sitting upright with her legs together and her hands on her knees. Thinking of being scolded just now, she wanted to bite him to death.
"Okay! What my wife says is what she says!"
Without squinting, Lin Qi replied like a robot.Chen Xiaonian rolled her eyes, locked the door with her backhand, and threw the man onto the bed with a run-up.Touching his thin lips lightly with her fingers, she slowly slid down, and said casually: "Hubby, don't be prudish with me, I... miss you."
Lin Qi turned over and pressed the person below, the love for Chen Xiaonian in his eyes increased instead of diminished, he was really grateful that she would forgive him.
"Thank you, wife."
The next day Lin Qi went back to Lin's to work, and Chen Xiaonian only got up from the bed when the sun was high.
"Hi, good morning dear mom and dad!"
I thought someone would be at home, but after looking around Nuo Da's house, I was alone, not even Aunt Bai.Chen Xiaonian limped to the kitchen to look for something to eat, and saw a message posted on the refrigerator: Miss, there is millet porridge in the electric cooker, steamed dumplings in the steamer, and bean paste stuffing and egg yolk buns .In addition, side dishes have been placed on the table, which are your favorite kohlrabi and pickled radish.
Chen Xiaonian was satisfied with her meal, threw the bowls and chopsticks into the dishwasher and went back to sleep.At this time, Pan Yue was struggling to survive in the detention center. Although other people did not bully her publicly, they often did it secretly.Tripped her today, put some cockroaches in her clothes tomorrow, and even pretended to accidentally damage something she made, and then pretended to apologize to her.Pan Yue's heart became darker and darker. She blamed Chen Xiaonian for everything she suffered. If it wasn't for her, she wouldn't have fallen into such a state.Thinking of this, Pan Yue thought that if she could do it all over again, on the day of hunting, she would definitely not be merciful and send her away with one arrow.
Chen Xiaonian lived at her mother's house for a week before returning to her own home. At night, the lights in the living room were not turned on, so Lin Qi sat on the sofa with her in his arms.He doesn't have any charming thoughts now, he just wants to use his whole body's senses to feel the satisfaction that his lover can touch anytime, anywhere.
"husband?"
Lin Qi turned his face to look at Chen Xiaonian. Although he could only see the outline of her face clearly, he felt that it was more real than ever before.
"I love you."
Lin Qi smiled and responded to her: "I love you too, I am a star within your reach."
