CEO Husband, Don't Bother Me

Qin Rui's respect for Lin Xia is still the same as always, and he even deliberately gave Lin Xia a seat. Thus, he sat beside me, and on his body, is still that faint and pleasant fragrance.

I did not expect to see him on such an occasion.

But after so long, it proved how wrong I was. I could only eat the grilled meat with all my might.

"Your stomach won't be able to take it if you eat like this." His voice was still as quiet as ever.

I looked up at him and squeezed out a smile. "Big brother Lin Xia."

He reached out and ruffled my hair. "It's grown so long."

"Yes, big brother Lin Xia."

His thin eyelashes were very long and thick, and his clear eyes were still black and white. He just looked at me like that.

But he moved so fast that I couldn't see too clearly. He lowered his head and wrapped some lettuce around the barbecue. "Here."

I smiled brilliantly. "Thank you, Big Brother Lin Xia."

Zheng Dongzi took a sip of his red wine and said with a tut of his tongue: "Look, our Lin Xia-ge treats Qian Xun like he's been doing for years."

"Of course, I long since knew that I had to stand next to a big tree to enjoy the shade, so I called him brother."

"Big Brother Lin Xia is treating you well, not …"

Dong Zi was the only one who understood me the best. When he heard Ruan Li's words, he immediately interrupted, "We're going to have a good meal today. Let Qian Xun bleed in his heart to pay for it. We can't even find two for her birthday."

"Right."

After the commotion, no one wanted to feel awkward anymore.

Lin Xia, as usual, took care of me. He barely ate, and when the meat was tender, he wrapped it in lettuce and placed it on a plate for me to take.

Midway there, he got up and went to the washroom. When he finished eating, the waiter took a card and returned it to Lin Xia, "Sir, your card."

Ruan Li's brows wrinkled, but Lin Xia smiled elegantly. "You all call me Big Brother. Why are you so unhappy? It's getting late. Do whatever you need to do. Don't delay any longer."

"Yes, Big Brother Lin Xia."

In front of Lin Xia, all the demon kings were as obedient as grandchildren.

He took my bag from Qin Rui. "I'll take it back."

"No need, my place is very close to here."

He stopped and looked at me. This way, I felt I couldn't refuse him, so I smiled and said, "Get in the car. It's getting late."

Lin Xia's car was as low-key as Lin Xia's car. It was so clean that there was only one navigation system. He smiled and said, "I haven't returned to Beijing in so many years. This place has changed so much that I can't recognize most of the places here."

"Yeah, it changes every day."

He softly said, "Qian Xun, you have also changed."

"Is she pretty?" I raised my head and smiled as I caressed my long hair.

There was a smile in his eyes as he said, "You've grown up and you've become a gentle person. Qian Xun, all these years, you must have had a hard time!"

"It's not hard at all. It's pretty good."

Sighing, he started the car and said, "You're still as stubborn as ever, Qian Xun. "Qian Xun, I'm sorry."

His apology brought tears to my eyes, and I bit my lip to keep it from sliding down.

After a long while, he smiled indifferently, "Really, what's there to be sorry about? Lin Xia-ge, will you leave this time when you come back?"

He smiled faintly. "I don't think so."

"That's great. In the future, Zheng Dongzi and the others will not dare to do anything rash. In their hearts, Brother Lin Xia is a god."

I didn't ask him why he'd come back, we didn't pick at the scars, we all pretended it had never happened.

If he hadn't intervened that year, would Lin Duan and I have been able to achieve true success?

Lin Xia, ah, it's an older brother. I only see him as my older brother, but not loving him is also an unforgivable mistake.
