Marriage is too late

Chapter 43

"The additional conditions of that contract do exist." Lin Xuxing said lightly, "However, it doesn't matter. All the three-year contract I promised you and the freedom you enjoy, everything remains the same. At that time, I felt that I didn't need to think You explain a contract that is bound to take effect, and you don’t need to bear the corresponding consequences. That’s a decision I should make, it has nothing to do with you, and you don’t need to feel any burden and pressure.”

Sure enough, everything was as Ji Jin expected, Lin Xuxing, who was gentle on the surface, was actually so arrogant in his heart, how could he force himself to marry and have children because of such a boring reason as money.Money is only meaningful to ordinary people like her who are struggling to survive. For people like Lin Xuxing who pursue self-realization, it has lost its original value.

Ji Jin didn't speak, and let the sky darken inch by inch, the light was soft, covering the relatively speechless two people, her thin white fingers unconsciously rubbing the table, Lin Xuxing suddenly smiled: "You are really good at guessing. "

"What?" Ji Jin raised his head and asked ignorantly.

When Ji Jin has something on her mind, she likes to rub something with her fingertips, be it the table top or the sweater, this is her unique little habit, drawing soft circles, like floating on his heart bit by bit Lin Xuxing felt that she didn't need to worry about this matter at all: "It's nothing, in short, you don't have to worry about this matter, whether it is you or us, we should be completely free people, and we can freely decide whether something will happen or not. It will interfere with the meaning of our existence because of a boring contract." Lin Xuxing changed the subject, "However, some other information disclosed by Shulan is worth checking. I will share my conclusion with you when I have a conclusion. The result of the verification is too late, let's go to dinner."

Lin Xuxing didn't talk to her about why he appeared in this bookstore an hour earlier. It turns out that the feeling of missing someone is like this. Every minute, he wants to see her sooner, and wants to be by her side.He worked incredibly productive all afternoon because he had a reason to go home.

"Wait, I have another question." Ji Jin hesitated for a while, "Why on earth are you and Auntie Xie Yingying having such a tight relationship? Who is Lin Ren?" She thought for a while, and then explained , "I don't know about this. I am always a little confused about the various questions raised by Shu Lan, a person who always appears for no reason. I am afraid that I will accidentally show my feet and delay your big event."

Lin Xuxing's expression remained unchanged, but Ji Jin obviously felt that his aura had cooled down. She had always been keenly aware of his emotional fluctuations since then. At that time, Lin Xuxing suddenly said lightly: "Lin Ren is Xie Yingying's biological son. She was born after she married into the Lin family."

Ji Jin couldn't help but wonder why, she didn't know why, she had never seen this Lin Ren before, even at the family banquet and the board meeting where all family members attended, she had never met face to face, could it be because this Lin Ren is now minor?Or living abroad?
"He was in prison, causing traffic accidents, driving under the influence of drugs, causing death and escaping. He was sentenced to eight years in prison." Lin Xuxing frowned, as if he didn't want to recall this memory. It's time to come out."

Ji Jin was taken aback, it was such a horrific crime, no wonder it became a closely guarded topic in the Lin family, and no Lin family had ever heard of Lin Ren's existence.

"They thought that the main clue to Lin Ren's arrest was provided by me. Xie Yingying should never give up hating me because of this incident." Lin Xuxing said flatly, "She needs someone other than her son to blame. In fact, I Because of this, my father got angry with me and kicked me out of the Lin family. But in fact, even if they didn't drive me away, I don't think I will stay in that house forever."

Lin Ren is just the last layer of window paper, which has been pierced, so that everyone can no longer avoid the problems that have been buried between them for a long time.

"They think?" Ji Jin suddenly sensed the key point keenly, "That is to say, it wasn't provided by you?"

Lin Xuxing sighed: "No, they misunderstood me, but it doesn't affect anything. If the police come to me to understand the situation, I will also tell the truth, but they haven't had time to find me. The law has My own bottom line, I also have my principles of being a human being. Lin Ren did something wrong, and he has no room for excuses in this matter. Everyone should pay the price for the wrong choice he made. He took drugs, He chose to drive under the influence of drugs, he chose to escape after the accident, no one can go back to that time and scene to take responsibility for him, only he himself can pay the price."

Lin Xuxing spoke calmly, but Ji Jin understood the sighs between his words.Flesh and blood, no matter what, it should be a pity to be the eldest brother, right?What's more, being misunderstood because of this, how embarrassing was the situation back then, Lin Xuxing, who was as sensible as Lin Xuxing, couldn't even make a reasonable excuse to win everyone's trust, so he was always misunderstood like this?

Ji Jin's heart sank, and she suddenly realized that it wasn't that Lin Xuxing failed to prove his innocence, but that he didn't defend himself at all.

She held his hand impulsively: "it's over, you didn't do anything wrong."

Lin Xuxing felt her cool body temperature reflected on his skin, smooth and icy, as if it could heal any pain, he held her back: "I'm fine."

"Going to eat?" Ji Jin was a little embarrassed at this point, and then he was embarrassed to pull his hand back, secretly complaining to himself, why are you being hypocritical, God knows how many people's hands a person like Lin Xuxing has to hold in a day, and he is not the first This time, the last kiss at the airport did not have such a heartbeat, just holding hands, why bother to blush and heartbeat.

After all, it may be that the mood is different from the past, and my heart is particularly touched.

Lin Xuxing reluctantly let go of Ji Jin's hand: "What do you want to eat?"

After they finished their dinner in a hurry, Lin Xuxing called the property management to confirm that the heating had not been restored, and the central heating would not resume until about ten o'clock in the evening, and advised them not to return to the house for the time being.

Lin Xuxing asked her suddenly: "Want to go to the movies?"

Ji Jin was taken aback, watching a movie?It was about a year ago that she went to the theater to watch a movie last time. She always had a tight schedule, from reading to work, and leisure time was too much of a luxury for her.Luxury is never something that can be easily owned.But such a long winter night, why not do such a person who is suitable for company?
"Where are you going?" Ji Jin smiled, "Then I have to choose the innermost seat. If my injured leg always has to give up my seat to someone else, I'm going to have to report to the hospital again tomorrow, so don't make the director of surgery angry." She said With a bright smile, it seems that pain is also one of the pleasures in this world that can be ridiculed.

"That makes sense." Lin Xuxing frowned, smiled again, and started calling to reserve a seat.

"Wait, you don't want to book a whole theater just for the two of us?" Ji Jin suddenly reacted, and grabbed Lin Xuxing's hand that was about to make a call.

Lin Xuxing glanced at her in surprise, and suddenly recalled: "It makes sense, why did I forget this?" He patted her on the head, "You're still smart, but we don't have to squeeze, even if we occupy the whole hall, The crowd is coming and going, what if you accidentally hurt you?"

Lin Xuxing finally took Ji Jin to a private club. The basement floor is a small private movie hall with more than 30 seats. There are a full set of new movies in theaters. It is often borrowed by filmmakers to hold private screenings for film critics. The venue and facilities are very good.

This is the first time that Ji Jin deeply feels that Lin Xuxing's life class is completely different from hers. Before that, Lin Xuxing was just the boss in the office who worked more overtime than her. In life, he was so low-key that it was outrageous.

"You have always had a membership card here?" Ji Jin asked him.

"Yes, but it hasn't been used for at least ten years." Lin Xuxing spread his hands, "I was surprised that I could still come in."

Really cool!Ji Jin secretly vomited: "Your worth is enough for you to enjoy life, but you are still working hard. There is no way for us idiots to survive."

"The value of life lies in self-realization and creation. Material enjoyment can never enhance the value of life. What's more, I think that devotion to career is the real enjoyment." I mean, "Would you like popcorn?"

"Yes, two boxes!" Ji Jin said childishly.

The movie is a typical popcorn movie, with a mess of special effects, the hero and heroine are running and fleeing for their lives all the time, deliberate jokes and illogical plots, a typical standard of brainless leisure.

Ji Jin watched happily. She looked at Lin Xuxing beside her. His expression was focused, letting the light and shadow play unpredictable on his face.She smiled slightly, then turned away.

Lin Xuxing seemed to be focused, but his mind was distracted. After Ji Jin finished eating his box of popcorn, he came to take it from his box again, brushing his fingers carelessly over his fingertips from time to time. Such inadvertent touch made his heart beat like a As the drum was beating, his usual calmness and calmness disappeared. In such darkness, longing desires were slowly fermenting, and he wanted to hold her fingertips tightly and never let go.

For the first time, Ji Jin felt that it doesn't matter what you are watching when watching a movie, as long as you are accompanied by the person you want to watch and accompany, it doesn't matter what you watch.

After watching the movie and returning home, the heating has been restored. No matter how beautiful the night is, the curtain will eventually come to an end, even if the only thing separating them is the door panel of the room.Lin Xuxing hugged Ji Jin to wash up, feeling more and more difficult about this matter.Her skin just after taking a bath is warm and exudes the fragrance of flowers. This warm smell is everywhere and intoxicating. He knows that as long as he lowers his head, he can faintly see some spring through her loose collar, restraining himself from becoming a gentleman. , requiring greater and greater forces.

Lin Xuxing said good night almost like an escape, and left Ji Jin's room.
