"Bao, your husband has returned to China?"
Lin Yuxi had just completed a retinal reattachment operation. After coming out of the operating room and sterilizing her, she turned on her cell phone and Yu Jiaxiao called her.
"I asked you to go out to dinner today and you didn't reply to me. Why didn't your husband tell me when he came back?"
Lin Yuxi closed the locker door and walked out: "I just got off the operating table. I didn't know he was coming back today."
"Huh?" Yu Jiaxiao said bluntly, "This bitch won't even report to you when he returns to the country?"
Lin Yuxi: "When did he report it?"
Just six months after their marriage, Zhou Yanjing went to New York without consulting Lin Yuxi.
She comes back once or twice a year, and each time she doesn't know until he lands.
Zhou Yanjing indeed has an amazing mind. In just a few years, the Boyu Investment Bank he founded has created a Chinese myth on Wall Street.
At the age of 27, he was ranked among the 50 most influential people in global finance and appeared on the cover of "The Banker" magazine. Lin Yuxi only knew these things from financial news.
"Good guy, your husband's return to China has been on the news. The girls in our company have been talking about it for a long time, but you are still in the dark."
Yu Jiaxiao directly showed a screenshot of the headlines and commented: "Look, aside from his character, your husband's face is really handsome!"
The Zhou family, the top wealthy family in Lincheng, has always been the focus of the local financial media. Zhou Yanjing's movements in recent years have been even more of the focus. The domestic media know his whereabouts better than Lin Yuxi, his own wife.
The photo was taken at the airport. A Gulfstream G650 business jet was parked at its exclusive berth on the apron, and a tall man was walking down the escalator.
Zhou Yanjing's face cannot be described with just one word: handsome. He has three-dimensional bones and deep outlines of eyebrows, eyes and nose. He is so handsome in the afternoon sunlight that he is eye-catching.
The neat and neat suit wrapped around his proudly proportioned broad shoulders and long legs, and his movements revealed his innate dignity.
The assistant followed half a step behind him, turning sideways to report something. The accompanying secretary was pushing a suitcase behind him with a serious look on his face.
On the other hand, Zhou Yanjing's posture was lazy, perhaps due to fatigue from the long flight, and the profile of his face in the photo showed a bit of lack of interest.
Lin Yuxi looked at the photo.
Zhou Yanjing is back?
She actually found out later than Yu Jiaxiao.
"Then you definitely won't come out to have dinner with me today." Yu Jiaxiao muttered, "I just gave you the bonus and I want to treat you to dinner."
Lin Yuxi said: "Don't worry, I will treat you without a treat. Let's make an appointment another day."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yuxi realized that it was already dark outside.
She had been busy all day and didn't even have a meal. She was so hungry that her chest pressed against her back. She hurriedly took a taxi back to her wedding villa in Songyun Bay.
A doctor has a busy work schedule. Lin Yuxi usually gets off work late and has a nanny at home. She rarely cooks and she really has no talent in cooking.
The timing of Zhou Yanjing's return was unlucky. The nanny had just been fired by her not long ago. It would be too shameful for him to come back without even having a meal.
Lin Yuxi started cooking a few dishes according to the recipes on the Internet. After working on them for almost two hours, the food was served. She looked at the time and saw that Zhou Yanjing hadn't come back yet.
After sitting at the dining table and waiting for almost an hour, she called Zhou Yanjing, but she didn't get through, and the message she sent on WeChat was not answered.
I was so hungry that I didn’t feel anything in my stomach.
The clock reached ten o'clock, and Zhou Yanjing still didn't go home.
Lin Yuxi hesitated whether to put away the cold food. When she was idle scrolling through her circle of friends, she came across Shi Tanggang's updates.
The accompanying text is two words: [Jie Feng]
Lin Yuxi clicked on the photo and saw what kind of club the background looked like. It was a lively and luxurious environment, and Zhou Yanjing's friends were all there.
Zhou Yanjing was also inside.
He took off his suit jacket and unbuttoned two buttons of his finely made shirt. The collar was slightly open, making him look a little more lazy and casual.
The photo was taken from the side of Zhou Yanjing, and you can see his slender legs crossed, and his long and beautiful hands resting on the armrest, with a cigarette loosely held between them.
A woman in a tight skirt stood next to him, looking at him with affection in her eyes.
Zhou Yanjing's posture looked very relaxed, with the corners of his lips slightly curled.
Lin Yuxi closed her circle of friends, picked up her chopsticks and started eating the cold meal. After finishing the meal, she packed up the kitchen and went back to her room to take a shower and rest.
In a private club box.
Because it was for Zhou Yanjing, everyone was very happy. Shi Tang poured a glass of wine for Zhou Yanjing with his own hands: "Brother, celebrate your return!"
It was a bottle of Hennessy's Centennial Jubilee, a top-grade cognac, or a century-old limited edition that was not in circulation at all on the market.
The old man of the Shi family had been collecting it for many years and was reluctant to drink it, so this great filial grandson stole it for his good brother.
"Are you still leaving when you come back this time?"
Zhou Yanjing leaned on the sofa casually: "You want me to leave?"
"That's not possible. I look forward to your coming back every day!"
The brother next to him smiled and said, "Don't you know how infatuated Shi Tang is with you? He misses you more than your wife every day."
Shi Tang kicked him over: "Shut your mouth!"
Zhou Yanjing held the carved glass cup in one hand and patted the back of Shi Tang's head: "What do you want from me? Your butt is itchy?"
"It's so itchy, my grandpa beats me every day." Shi Tang said, "You don't know, it's so boring without you."
"By the way, where is sister-in-law? Sister-in-law didn't come today?" someone next to her asked.
Shi Tang said nonchalantly: "We are drinking. Why did we ask her to come here? What a disappointment."
Everyone knew about Zhou Yanjing's relationship with Lin Yuxi. Everyone knew that he had no feelings for Lin Yuxi. They were married as if they were not married. They had never regarded Lin Yuxi as Mrs. Zhou and did not take it seriously.
The woman sitting next to Zhou Yanjing heard the message and asked him: "Second Young Master, are you married?"
Zhou Yanjing raised his eyebrows, raised the hand holding the cigarette, and took a puff of cigarette with a half-smile: "Is my wedding ring not bright enough?"
Only then did the woman see the wedding ring on his ring finger.
The movement of raising his hand made Zhou Yanjing's collar slightly open, and the light sneaked in, revealing half of his collarbone, while the other half was hidden in the shadow under the collar.
Lazy and lustful.
The woman blushed slightly and was full of curiosity as to what kind of woman had such a blessing and could be his wife.
"What kind of person is your wife?"
Zhou Yanjing leaned on the sofa in a leisurely posture: "My wife?"
There is a shallow smile in his brown pupils, giving people the illusion of affection: "Not as beautiful as you."
It is impossible for any woman not to feel moved when she looks at you with such eyes and compliments you on your beauty. The woman's heart was pounding, beating like a deer.
"Come on, don't let him coax you. You can't find a woman more beautiful than his wife in the whole city."
The pink bubble was ruthlessly popped, and she looked at Zhou Yanjing.
He chewed the cigarette lazily, his lips curled up in a loose arc, and he smiled without denying it.
A woman's heart is ups and downs, it turns out he is coaxing her.
Zhou Yanjing was probably sleepy. He was too lazy to smoke and had no energy to smoke. He poured wine into the glass and stood up with his coat.
Shi Tang, who was refilling his drink, was stunned: "Leaving so early?"
Zhou Yanjing looked uninterested: "I'm sleepy. You guys play."
Lin Yuxi had a habit of leaving a light on when sleeping. She was awakened by the sound of someone opening the door and coming in.
In the dim light of the bedroom floor lamp, the man's tall figure stood in front of the dressing room mirror with his back to her.
There was a faint smell of alcohol floating in the air. Lin Yuxi sat on the bedside and was dazed for a while before she sobered up.
The last time we met was more than half a year ago, and even looking at his back felt strange.
"Why didn't you tell me in advance when you came back?"
Zhou Yanjing glanced back at her.
Lin Yuxi sat sleepily on the bed. Her nightgown was loose and the thin shoulder straps were about to fall off her shoulders.
Her skin is very white, naturally white. During military training when she was in school, even if she was exposed to the sun for a week, it would only turn a little red, and it would heal in a few days.
The foggy purple nightgown made her look like a piece of fragile porcelain jade. Her collarbones were delicate and thin, and her white neck was adorned with a piece of ice-clear jade lock.
Zhou Yanjing unbuttoned the buttons with one hand: "Why, are you hiding someone at home?"
Lin Yuxi wanted to ask why he didn't tell her when he came back, but he choked on his words and couldn't turn around in his sleepy state.
Zhou Yanjing didn't seem to care about her answer, so he took his pajamas and went into the bathroom to take a shower.
Lin Yuxi sat on the bed for a while, listening to the sound of water pouring in the bathroom, and slowly woke up.
