Marriage is too late

Chapter 73

Lin Ren looked at the panicked Ji Jin with a funny face, and pursed his lips: "My dear sister-in-law, I just want to say something, you don't need to be so enthusiastic."

Ji Jin took two steps back quickly, feeling annoyed, Lin Ren definitely did it on purpose, appearing quietly behind people, it was childish.

"Be careful." Lin Ren's face changed slightly, and he stretched out his hand to support Ji Jin's back. His palm was hot, and it seemed that he had scalded Ji Jin through the fabric of the evening dress.

As soon as Ji Jin turned her head, she saw behind her a red sandalwood shelf with a pot of orchid grass on it. If Lin Ren hadn't stopped her, she would have fallen to the ground. Things are trivial, and I'm afraid it will disturb Grandpa's rest or fall On the broken tiles, she was indeed reckless.

"Thank you." She thanked softly.

When Lin Ren laughed, his eyes would bend into beautiful crescent shapes, and his laughter rolled down his throat: "You're welcome, my dear sister-in-law." The tone was frivolous.

"Ji Jin?" Lin Xuxing's gentle voice sounded at the end of the corridor.From his point of view, Lin Ren supported Ji Jin's back, and Ji Jin lowered his head while talking in his arms.

Ji Jin suddenly turned his head, saw that it was Lin Xuxing, and said in a low voice, "Excuse me." Holding his skirt, he walked quickly to Lin Xuxing's side.

Lin Ren smiled lowly, without saying a word.Lin Xuxing supported Ji Jin's waist, and nodded to Lin Ren: "Good night."

It wasn't until they returned to their room that Ji Jin breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly frowned: "My photo."

"What photo?" Lin Xuxing asked her.

"Grandpa gave me a photo of my father. It must have fallen on the door of Grandpa's room just now, when Lin Ren was helping me to save me from knocking over the pot of orchids." Ji Jin said anxiously.

"You wait for me in the room, I'll look for it." Lin Xuxing squeezed her shoulder, "You're tired too, wait for me."

Not surprisingly, Lin Xuxing saw Lin Ren who had just finished talking with his grandfather at the door of his grandfather's room. He looked pensive, holding an envelope in the corridor in a daze.

Lin Xuxing called out, "Aren?"

Lin Ren raised his head, his face full of solemnity, and suddenly changed into a nonchalant smile: "Brother."

"Did you see a photo?" Lin Xuxing asked.

"This one?" Lin Ren held up the photo of Mr. Lin Juan and Ye Rufeng.

Lin Xuxing nodded, took the envelope together, and asked, "What? Just talked to Grandpa?"

Lin Ren nodded, still joking in his tone: "It's been a long lecture. It's been many years, and Grandpa's lecture is still nothing new."

Lin Xuxing nodded: "Rest early."

Lin Ren stopped Lin Xuxing who was about to leave: "Brother, no matter what grandpa or anyone says, the things I have decided will not change."

Lin Xuxing turned to look at him: "I know." He looked serious and his eyes were clean.

Lin Ren evoked a half-smile expression: "Are you ready?"

"Always." Lin Xuxing's expression remained unchanged, he turned around and said softly, "Good night." His footsteps echoed in the long corridor, Lin Ren watched him leave without speaking.

When Lin Xuxing returned to the room, Ji Jin was still sitting in front of the dressing table in the bedroom in a daze. Her makeup hadn't been removed yet, and she only took off one earring. Her slender fingers were fiddling with the earring in her palm, but her eyes were fixed Looking at himself in the mirror, he looked a bit lost.

Lin Xuxing realized that Ji Jin was different tonight: "Ji Jin, is the photo you are talking about?"

Ji Jin took it as if she had found a treasure: "Yes, luckily I got it back." She pinched the photo, feeling a little disappointed.

"What did grandpa tell you?" Lin Xuxing asked.

Ji Jin paused for a while, thinking about how to answer, should he bring up those two slaps at this time?Do you want him to trust her and let go of the past hurts?Ji Jin intuitively felt that this was not a popular topic on Lin Ren's first night back in the Lin family's mansion, so she chose to be vague: "It's nothing, I mentioned something related to my father, What you are holding is the photo of my grandfather and my father back then."

Lin Xuxing looked at her, knowing that she was hiding something, but he didn't choose to continue to persecute her: "Fortunately, Ah Ren picked it up."

"Oh." Ji Jin replied disinterestedly, and threw the photo into the drawer.Maybe it is really better to be kind than to be kind. The biological father she has never met is a symbol of no importance to her. Even now, she thinks back to her original intention of buying "Splendid Fate". My thoughts gradually faded away.

Once, she felt that she had too few things, and only by desperately grasping the void that slipped through her fingers, could she feel that she was not alone in this world, and there might have been someone who loved her unconditionally.

Until now, she clearly knows that Lin Xuxing really loves her, her obsession with "Splendid Fate" is gradually dissipating, what does it matter if she gets it or not?Instead of desperately grasping those empty things that don't matter, it's better to desperately love the real person around you.

Lin Xuxing leaned on him to kiss her, and felt a little powerless for the first time. He knew that she was troubled, and he knew that she had something on his mind, but he didn't know what he should do to make her let go of her guard.

Ji Jin kissed him back earnestly, God knows how grateful she is to be by his side at this moment, this man who makes people can't help being gentle.

Lin Xuxing seemed to be confused, and tilted his head to look at her.Ji Jin calmed down his accelerated breathing, pushed him away, and said with an unquestionable affirmation in his tone: "Wait, we need to talk."

Lin Xuxing hugged her: "Okay, let's talk, wait for me for a while, let me hug you." He buried his face deep in her hair, gasped for a while, and regained his calmness and self-control.

Ji Jin let him hug quietly. It was more touching for one person to hold back for you than for one person to be emotional for you. Her heart was touched, she didn't utter a word, she was just quiet.

After a while, Lin Xuxing carried her to the sofa in the living room which was a suite with the bedroom, pushed her away from her, and asked her seriously: "What do you want to talk to me about?" His expression was completely calm.

Ji Jin rubbed his fingers, and finally said calmly: "Grandpa and I talked about the two slaps today, I was very confused, because you never lied to me, and I don't like having secrets with you." And deep love Between two people, they should meet each other honestly, without any shadows and secrets, which become each other's problems, she took the opportunity to express her confusion, "If you remember, Han Yi once hinted to me that you have someone who is not The glorious past, I have been waiting for you to explain to me, I hope there are no secrets between us, especially after I have confessed all the secrets, especially after I have decided that I want to continue my life with you. After entering the Lin family mansion Before, I could wait, but when we had to wade deeper and deeper into the muddy water of the Lin family, when we moved into the Lin family mansion, became Lin Ren, and when more and more struggles between the Lin family became our hindrance, I hope that there will be no obstacles between our husband and wife, and we will be the greatest help to each other." She looked at him sincerely, without the slightest doubt.

Lin Xuxing couldn't express what he felt in his heart, he had been waiting for this beautiful moment, when Ji Jin confessed her love for him, when she recognized him.Ji Jin's frankness made him feel selfish. He has been waiting. He is even more insecure than Ji Jin. In terms of bravery, he is far inferior to this frail looking woman in front of him.She is like an angel who came out of a nightmare, never afraid, never stopping, and moving straight towards her goal.

Lin Xuxing hugged her and said softly, "Then you may have to listen to a less pleasant story."

Ji Jin looked disapproving: "Oh, I have personally experienced unpleasant stories, believe me, I have enough courage."

Lin Xuxing smiled lightly: "Then, the story begins with a little boy whom everyone cherishes."

Lin Xuxing is the eldest grandson of the Lin family. The eldest aunt Lin Yanxing divorced hastily without any children. The second aunt and second uncle gave birth to a daughter. The third uncle has never married, and the first child born to the early married father Lin Yiran is Lin Xuxing.

The birth of Lin Xuxing is exciting news for this big and flourishing family.

Lin Xuxing's mother is a real lady of the family, dating back to her ancestors, she can see those prominent families and names in the late Qing Dynasty.Although the aristocratic family is not as prosperous as it used to be, the upbringing and knowledge in the bones are still in the same line. She educated Lin Xuxing in the most cautious and loving way.

"It's a pity that you haven't met my mother. She is the most gentle woman in the world." Lin Xuxing recalled that her mother's eyes were full of tenderness. "She is not good at cooking, but she likes to make drinks. I like summer drinks the most." Plum ice, sweet and sour, I can drink a whole pot after school."

Ji Jin smiled, and could almost imagine that handsome little boy rushing to his mother's arms after school, drinking a pot of plum ice under her gentle comfort.

"It was a beautiful day until my mother passed away." Lin Xuxing's voice gradually became low, and his expression was no longer as cheerful as before.

Lin Xuxing's mother died early in the morning of a winter day.

"She has been ill for a long time, and has been in and out of the hospital. Later, she simply didn't even go to the hospital and just rested at home." Lin Xuxing knew that his mother already knew where his life was going, so he simply focused on his favorite love. "I always feel powerless. Even though everything has happened, I still don't have any sense of reality." Lin Xuxing recalled in a trance, "especially when my stepmother Xie Yingying died within a hundred days of my mother. When I walked through the door of the Lin family with a child who was a few months old, my world collapsed."
