"Congratulations on your liberation. I watched the live broadcast of the interview just now, and it was brilliant."
Zhou Jinbai's face was full of praise. The woman before him, with her carefree demeanor, was both cool and beautiful, like a little sun, so dazzling that one dared not look directly.
This woman was capable of letting go, worthy of being his wife!
"Thank you."
Lin Xingwan held the bouquet in her arms. The flowers were large, making her appear even more delicate.
Her nostrils were filled with the scent of white roses, making her feel refreshed and happy.
Zhou Jinbai drove Lin Xingwan away. This scene was witnessed by Lin Shirou and Yang Niyun, mother and daughter, who had followed them out.
"That man driving a Volkswagen worth over a hundred thousand is the good-for-nothing man Lin Xingwan likes?" Yang Niyun's face was full of disbelief. People always strive for higher positions. Lin Xingwan, this woman, was actually willing to degrade herself by finding such a useless man.
Lin Shirou nodded affirmatively, "At first, I didn't believe it, but now I do. A woman like Lin Xingwan, no man in the circle likes her. She has a bad temper and is unromantic. Only men inferior to her would try to please her. It's strange that men superior to her would even look at her."
Yang Niyun thought it made sense. Which man didn't like a woman who was charming and alluring, appearing pure on the outside but passionate in bed?
Only their mother and daughter were the darlings of the crowd, capable of driving men wild for them.
"My darling daughter, you must work hard to marry into the Gu family. With Lin Xingwan gone, there are many ill-intentioned women who will try their best to get into Shao Ting's bed."
"Of course, I know." Lin Shirou's delicate face was filled with the triumphant pride of a victor.
Lin Xingwan, oh Lin Xingwan, leaving Huanyu, leaving Shao Ting, you will regret it for the rest of your life.
...
Zhou Jinbai drove Lin Xingwan directly back to her apartment building. He opened the trunk and took out a large cardboard box.
The box contained many items, all of which Lin Xingwan had bought at the supermarket yesterday.
"Do you want to go first, or should I?" Zhou Jinbai asked.
Lin Xingwan quickly walked in front of Zhou Jinbai, opened the elevator door for him, and then opened the apartment door.
Zhou Jinbai put down the box and took out the items inside, placing them in their respective positions.
Lin Xingwan's eyes widened, and she asked in surprise, "How did you know where I wanted to put these things?"
This man, was he a mind-reader?
"You said it yesterday when you bought them."
"But you only said it once!"
"Are you doubting my memory, hmm?"
Zhou Jinbai raised an eyebrow. After placing the small decorative items, he opened the refrigerator and put vegetables, fruits, meat, and eggs into it one by one.
In just one or two minutes, Lin Xingwan's empty refrigerator was packed full.
Lin Xingwan's mouth was agape in an 'o' shape.
She had never imagined that a man like Zhou Jinbai, who appeared to be a tough guy, would have such a meticulous and gentle side. Although it was her own home, she felt like an outsider.
There was a knock on the apartment door. Zhou Jinbai went to open it. It was the delivery man with the mattress.
The mattress was so heavy that it took two delivery men to carry it. Zhou Jinbai easily carried it on his shoulder with one hand. When Lin Xingwan was paying, the two delivery men looked at Zhou Jinbai with admiration.
"Sister, your man is so handsome and manly!" The younger delivery man's eyes were even sparkling uncontrollably.
"Ah, this..." Lin Xingwan didn't know how to respond and could only smile perfunctorily.
After the two delivery men left, Lin Xingwan closed the door.
Seeing the bedroom door open, Lin Xingwan's face changed drastically!
She quickly ran into the bedroom and indeed saw a mess of clothes on her bed, including various intimate apparel.
Especially the white lace underwear, which lay quietly on top of the pile. Lin Xingwan's cheeks flushed crimson.
How could she explain that she had taken out these clothes from the walk-in closet yesterday morning to choose them for attending the old lady's birthday?
Lin Xingwan had severe OCD. When she wore a white suit, she would match it with white underwear, and when she wore a black suit, she would match it with black underwear.
But now... it was utterly embarrassing.
"Tidy up the things on top." Compared to Lin Xingwan's embarrassment, Zhou Jinbai's tone was very calm.
Lin Xingwan quickly gathered the clothes on the bed and ran to the walk-in closet.
Just when she thought she had gotten rid of all the embarrassing items, Zhou Jinbai easily moved her original mattress aside and reminded her, "You haven't finished putting away your clothes. One piece is still here."
Lin Xingwan glanced over. It was a purple piece of underwear.
This piece of underwear was given to her by Sister Qin.
When she gave it to her, Sister Qin had complained that as a woman, her underwear should be sexy and alluring, not just black and white. No man would love a woman who was tacky and vulgar. She advised her to put more effort into maintaining her relationship with Gu Shaoting, otherwise, a man like Gu Shaoting was prone to cheating...
Thinking about it now, Sister Qin was truly prophetic!
This was also Lin Xingwan's most alluring piece of underwear, made entirely of thin lace, with only two prominent butterflies embroidered in the center.
And now, it lay at Zhou Jinbai's feet.
Lin Xingwan felt like crying. She watched helplessly as Zhou Jinbai picked it up and handed it to her.
Lin Xingwan looked at the "hot potato" and snatched it, quickly running to the walk-in closet.
Zhou Jinbai watched the woman flee in disarray, his mood becoming even more pleasant.
However, if this woman were to wear that outfit...
Almost instantly, Zhou Jinbai's blood surged.
What the hell, how could this woman arouse him so easily?
After Zhou Jinbai had finished making the bed for Lin Xingwan, she hesitantly emerged from the walk-in closet.
"Thank you so much. I've troubled you so many times." The blush on Lin Xingwan's face had faded a little.
"You don't need to be so polite with me. I'm helping you for a reason." Zhou Jinbai walked up to Lin Xingwan, his tall figure blocking all the light shining on her. An unprecedented sense of pressure washed over her.
Every cell in Lin Xingwan's body was screaming to escape. This man, Zhou Jinbai, had such a terrifying aura!
Her heart pounded, her mind went blank, and she felt dizzy.
"You... for what reason?" Lin Xingwan asked weakly.
"When a man is always attentive to a woman, what do you think he's after, hmm?" Zhou Jinbai lowered his head slightly, his husky voice, as if from his throat, was extremely magnetic, each word falling into Lin Xingwan's heart, leaving her flustered.
The distance between them seemed so small that Lin Xingwan could kiss him with a slight pout.
