Chapter 587: Chapter 586 I’m Still Young
After reaching the second floor, Liu Zheng opened the door and led Zhou Yalin into the bedroom.
"Brother Liu Zheng, I... I... I’m still young and don’t understand things, please bear with me, I promise I will never go against your orders again."
"Not bad, I really like obedient women!" Liu Zheng chuckled, "You can rest now. Once I’ve taken care of the company affairs, I’ll come back home immediately."
"Mm..."
Zhou Yalin nodded gently, then closed her eyes and lay quietly on the bed.
Seeing this, Liu Zheng couldn’t help but sneer and turn away.
When he reached the stairway, he suddenly thought of something and returned to the bedroom, saying to Zhou Yalin, "Yalin, are you still thinking about that Liu Zheng? Let me tell you, no matter what your hardships are, you better restrain yourself. If you dare to contact Liu Zheng again, or show any inappropriate behavior, be careful of your little life!"
With a cold statement, Liu Zheng headed towards the living room.
Seeing this, Zhou Yalin clenched her fists tightly, her eyes brimming with resentment.
...
At this moment, night had fallen.
Liu Zheng sat on the balcony, staring into the pitch-black night.
By this point, Liu Zheng had already drunk two bottles of wine.
"Huff!"
Liu Zheng took a deep breath, set down his wine glass, and then took out a cigarette and lighter from his pocket.
Liu Zheng lit the cigarette, took a drag, and exhaled a dense cloud of smoke.
"Liu Zheng, you’re foolish, really!"
Suddenly, a soft sigh echoed in his ear.
Hearing this melancholic sigh, Liu Zheng slightly frowned and immediately put out his cigarette in the ashtray.
Whose familiar voice was this?
Liu Zheng looked up and saw a graceful figure standing by the window.
The moonlight spilled onto her body, making her look particularly gentle.
"Lin Yixi, why are you here? Didn’t I tell you to stay in your dorm?" Liu Zheng asked in surprise, "You’re here so late, could it be... is there something wrong?"
Lin Yixi didn’t speak, instead slowly walking towards the balcony.
When she reached the balcony, she suddenly turned around.
Her face was pale, and her forehead was covered in sweat, seemingly from just having run over.
"Yixi, what happened?" Seeing Lin Yixi’s appearance, Liu Zheng asked with concern.
At these words, Lin Yixi started to cry.
"Whimper... Liu Zheng, why? We have already broken up, why can’t you let go? Why must you cling to the past? I know I’m not worthy of you. I’m just an ordinary person, I..."
"Lin Yixi, what are you thinking? Never mention anything about being worthy or not again!"
"You... don’t deceive me. I know you still love me, I’m still in your heart, aren’t I? Liu Zheng, I know it, I know you still have feelings for me!"
"Lin Yixi, you..."
Looking at Lin Yixi’s sad face, Liu Zheng felt a pang in his heart.
He knew he owed Lin Yixi far too much, and thus, he must compensate her properly, even if it meant exchanging everything he had, he didn’t care.
"Yixi, do you realize that in school, because you had a fight with me, your father found out and then sent you abroad? I know that in your heart, you’ve always wanted to come back home, you’ve always wanted to find a job and support yourself. But... but..."
"But what?"
Looking at Liu Zheng, Lin Yixi hurriedly pressed for an answer.
"But now you are no longer a student at the school. You are the lover of the president of Liu Corporation, a status which destined that you cannot return to school to continue your studies."
"No! I don’t want to be your lover! I don’t want to be your woman!"
Hearing this, Lin Yixi shook her head fiercely, a look of extreme agony on her face.
Seeing Lin Yixi like this, Liu Zheng was shocked and quickly asked, "Yixi, what... what’s wrong with you?"
Lin Yixi wiped her tears and said, "Liu Zheng, my dad doesn’t agree with us being together, so could you accompany me to a banquet tomorrow? There, I hope you can help me convince my dad to agree to our marriage."
"You are getting married?"
"Yes!"
Seeing Lin Yixi nod, Liu Zheng was stunned.
What was this turn of events? Lin Yixi was actually going to marry that villain? No wonder she was so heartbroken.
At this thought, a surge of anger rose in Liu Zheng’s heart.
He hadn’t expected Lin Yixi to be pressured to such an extent by her father, even... even at the cost of sacrificing her own reputation?
Clearly, there must be a reason!
Liu Zheng resolved to find Lin Yixi’s father and have a serious talk with him tomorrow.
The next morning, Lin Yixi rose early and finished washing up.
Seeing this scene, Liu Zheng’s lips curled into a slight smile.
Lin Yixi was wearing a white miniskirt that showcased her long legs to their fullest. Her delicate figure became even more enchanting under the cover of her clothes, especially those pearly white thighs, causing Liu Zheng to involuntarily swallow his saliva.
"Lin Yixi, you’re dressed like a seductress today!"
Hearing this, Lin Yixi’s pretty face blushed slightly before she retorted with annoyance, "You’re awful!"
Liu Zheng laughed heartily, "Lin Yixi, I suddenly have a wicked idea."
Lin Yixi batted her beautiful big eyes in confusion, "What wicked idea?"
"With you dressed like this, I’ll send you out later. That would give you a reason to see your fiancé, wouldn’t it?" Liu Zheng chuckled mischievously.
"What? Are you insane? If he sees us like this, won’t he think I’m trying to seduce him?"
"No, he won’t, I trust he won’t think so!"
Startled by his words, Lin Yixi hesitated, "But he’s my fiancé... What if... what if he sees me arm in arm with another man, would he get jealous?"
"He won’t. I’ll explain it to him," Liu Zheng assured confidently.
"Well... okay then."
"Then it’s settled."
...
When Liu Zheng arrived at Lin Yixi’s room, she was at her vanity applying makeup.
Liu Zheng walked over and hugged Lin Yixi from behind, lingering for a moment at her snow-white nape.
Lin Yixi’s body trembled slightly, and she quickly struggled, growling, "Liu Zheng, let go of me now! What are you doing?"
"Yixi, I’m sorry."
Liu Zheng released Lin Yixi and looked at her apologetically, "Did I... make you feel awkward?"
"Of course," Lin Yixi muttered, pouting, "My father will surely be suspicious, and you... you will feel guilty towards me!"
"No, Yixi, I won’t let that happen. I’ll explain to him that you encountered danger last night, and that’s why you disappeared."
Lin Yixi nodded, "I knew you would help me."
"Yes!"
"Thank you, Liu Zheng. Let’s hurry out now!"
Liu Zheng nodded with a smile.
Afterward, Liu Zheng and Lin Yixi left the hotel, ready to drive to the Liu Family estate.
When the two of them drove up to the Liu Family’s front gate, Lin Yixi suddenly remembered that the Liu Family seemed not to have invited Liu Zheng to the banquet.
"Liu Zheng, once you enter the Liu family’s estate with me, don’t talk nonsense to avoid arousing any suspicions from the Liu family."
Liu Zheng nodded to show he understood.
Soon after, Lin Yixi, with her arm through Liu Zheng’s, stepped into the Liu estate.
The moment they entered, Liu Zheng felt a sharp gaze piercing towards him as if to transfix him.
This feeling made him quite uncomfortable.
He looked around, but saw nothing out of the ordinary.
"Strange, why am I feeling this way? Could it be that old Master Liu doesn’t like me? That can’t be right!"
Despite his doubts, Liu Zheng stayed calm and continued following Lin Yixi into the Liu Family estate.
At that moment, a servant approached.
Liu Zheng found the servant vaguely familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before, but couldn’t remember where.
"Miss Lin Yixi, please come with me."
"Okay," Lin Yixi nodded, then followed the servant into the Liu Family’s courtyard.
"Miss Lin Yixi, the young master is waiting for you in the garden, just head straight there," the servant instructed.
Lin Yixi nodded and said, "Thank you for showing the way."
"Don’t mention it, it’s part of my duties," replied the servant.
Liu Zheng followed Lin Yixi through the Liu Family’s garden.
By the garden’s stone table, Liu Zheng indeed saw a young man.
This young man appeared to be in his late twenties, with a lean figure and a sullen face, his brows steeped in intense surliness.
He sat on the stone bench, his gaze coldly sweeping over Liu Zheng and Lin Yixi.
The young man was none other than Lin Yixi’s fiancé, Liu Zhenfei.
"Lin Yixi, you’ve finally deigned to visit me?"
