Lin Xingwan's waist was held, her chin was pinched. Although the man's grip was light, she still felt unable to move.
The surging desire was like a flood of beasts, fiercely beating against the hearts of both of them.
Zhou Jinbai was already very restrained, yet the woman in his arms was more alluring to him than the wedding dress she was wearing.
So, he flipped her over, and the two faced each other. Zhou Jinbai directly cupped Lin Xingwan's hips with both hands and placed her on the table beside the mirror.
The next second, his long arm encircled her waist, and his other hand slowly moved up her delicate back.
Lin Xingwan was kissed so dizzy by Zhou Jinbai's aggressive kiss that she didn't even know when she was lifted onto the table. She only felt that the man in front of her was exceptionally passionate.
The halter strap had already fallen, and even the thin wedding dress hem was pushed up to her waist.
She could clearly feel the man's emotional changes, especially when Zhou Jinbai looked at her with desire in his eyes, she felt inexplicably flustered.
"Zhou Jinbai... I..." Lin Xingwan hadn't finished speaking when a sudden mobile phone ring interrupted the romantic atmosphere between them.
Zhou Jinbai glanced at the caller ID, and his eyes cleared a bit.
"Grandma?"
"Yes, Lin Xingwan and I are already buying groceries."
"We'll be home around six, yes."
While answering the phone, the man's captivating dark eyes were locked on Lin Xingwan. His sexy Adam's apple bobbed up and down, and his face showed a determination to send Lin Xingwan to heaven.
Only when Lin Xingwan bit his shoulder fiercely did he hug her waist and let her rest in his arms.
"Zhou Jinbai, I hate you." Lin Xingwan's voice was incredibly soft, and if one listened carefully, there was still a tremor of lingering shock.
"Wife, don't you know that when a woman says she hates you, she actually likes you?" Zhou Jinbai lowered his head and kissed Lin Xingwan's forehead. Seeing her tearful face, he felt a bit guilty.
He had indulged himself again just now.
But bullying this woman was addictive.
"Hate you, hate you, hate you!" Lin Xingwan repeated the words countless times like a childish girl.
Zhou Jinbai raised his hand and placed it in front of Lin Xingwan. "This is called hate, huh? If you liked it, wouldn't we have to change the bedsheets every day?"
Lin Xingwan bit Zhou Jinbai's shoulder again. "Don't talk about it, don't talk about it."
She was simply terrified of this man's rogue behavior.
Zhou Jinbai was in an exceptionally good mood. He had originally planned to help Lin Xingwan get dressed, but the woman looked at him like an enemy and even kicked him out.
Zhou Jinbai had no choice but to scan the code and pay.
When Lin Xingwan came out of the fitting room, the two of them rushed to the vegetable market.
As for Gu Jiaojiao, who had been jointly sent to the police station by the couple, she was not so happy.
Her fate today at the police station was even more miserable than in the shop.
The clothes she was wearing were forcefully torn off by the shop owner. She was equivalent to walking from the seventh floor to the first floor of the mall in a bikini. Many people took photos and videos of her along the way, and then she got into a police car under everyone's watchful eyes.
So many men at the police station were staring at her from head to toe, but no one gave her any clothes to cover herself.
It wasn't until the Gu family arrived that she was brought out of a small dark room.
Gu Hezhis and Sha Manying were stunned to see their daughter in such a state of undress.
As for Gu Shaoting, he looked at his own sister with extreme disgust. She was truly disgracing the Gu family.
"Jiaojiao, my precious daughter, how did you become like this? Damn it, who did this to my daughter? Police officers, please uphold justice for us." Sha Manying quickly took off her coat and draped it over Gu Jiaojiao.
"Mom... I'm so scared, Mom..." Mother and daughter hugged and cried.
Gu Hezhis sat down on a chair and slammed the table forcefully. "Who is the little brat who dared to touch my Gu Hezhis's daughter? Don't you want to live anymore? If you don't give me an explanation today, I'll make sure you people can't eat." So what if you're the police? Our Gu family has plenty of connections."
Before Gu Shaoting could speak, a group of fierce-looking people rushed in from the doorway.
"It was me! It's already good that I didn't beat her to death. Gu Hezhis, let me tell you, if you don't pay 3.5 million today, I'll make sure your daughter rots in jail." The man at the forefront had an arrogant attitude, his fierce eyes, and his intimidating aura, which scared Gu Hezhis so much that he almost fell off his chair.
"Mr. Yang... Mr. Yang, how could it be you?" Gu Hezhis was a paper tiger, bullying the weak and fearing the strong. As soon as he saw that the man in front of him was someone he wanted to curry favor with, his attitude did a 180-degree turn. "How could my daughter be a robber? There must be some misunderstanding, and we can resolve this misunderstanding."
"Resolve? How to resolve? Good for you, Gu Hezhis, you can't even manage a money-losing daughter, and you still want to cheat me? Do you think I'm easy to bully?" Mr. Yang grabbed Gu Hezhis's collar, his aura menacing.
Gu Hezhis immediately trembled with fear and didn't know what to say, so he could only cast a pleading look at Gu Shaoting.
Gu Shaoting also didn't expect Gu Jiaojiao to provoke Mr. Yang. The Yang family was stronger than the Gu family, and since they were in the wrong first, it was reasonable for Mr. Yang not to give them face.
He could only adopt a very humble posture and flatter, "Mr. Yang, I'll pay you five million, and then give you another five million. What do you think?"
Hearing this, Mr. Yang released Gu Hezhis. "It must be transferred to my account within half an hour."
After speaking, he left with a group of people.
"Ten million... just given to Mr. Yang like this? Clearly, Jiaojiao only owes him over three million!" Sha Manying was heartbroken. Wouldn't it be better to use this money to pay off her gambling debts?
"Do you think he would have let it go without ten million? You wouldn't even know if Jiaojiao was killed by him." Gu Shaoting gritted his back teeth. He had been suppressing his anger on the way, and if he saw Gu Jiaojiao, he would vent his anger on her. "How did things escalate to this point? How many times have I told you not to provoke Lin Xingwan? She has become unrecognizable, yet you still insisted on coveting that little bit of money. Because of your foolish actions, the stock of Huanyu Company, in the last ten minutes before closing, directly went from a limit increase to a limit decrease!"
He had finally secured a cooperation, and as soon as the news was reported, Huanyu Company's stock directly hit the limit increase.
But because Gu Jiaojiao's matter was interviewed by reporters from Rongcheng's local news, it quickly topped the major trending searches. Not only was Gu Jiaojiao scolded badly, but even Huanyu Company suffered heavy losses, and some other small companies were also affected.
He used to think that he had hundreds of millions, and was a well-deserved billionaire. But in just one month, almost half of his assets were squandered. Gu Shaoting felt a sharp pain in his chest just breathing.
Gu Jiaojiao was scolded to death, but she felt wronged. "It's Lin Xingwan's fault for not helping me. She'd rather watch me be sent to the police station than help me. How can this woman be so heartless?"
"Because she couldn't have me, she hates me. To get revenge on me, she is willing to debase herself to keep a man. She doesn't even care about herself, so how could she care about you?"
Gu Shaoting became more and more annoyed as he spoke. Did Lin Xingwan think this was revenge on him?
No!
It would only push him further away.
"Where is the transfer agreement for Dingfeng Entertainment?" Gu Shaoting didn't want to waste any more time on this matter. The most important thing now was Dingfeng Entertainment.
Gu Jiaojiao quickly opened the bag she had been protecting. "It's here."
Gu Shaoting looked at the transfer agreement in his hand, his eyes full of determination.
Once the Lin family climbed onto the Oriental Consortium, then as Lin Shirou's man, their Lin family would also ascend to heaven.
...
By the time Zhou Jinbai and Lin Xingwan returned from buying groceries, it was already five o'clock.
Lin Xingwan, having been excessively exhausted in the fitting room, lay on the sofa to rest as soon as she got home.
"Still weak in the legs, huh?" Zhou Jinbai, already skillfully tying on an apron, began to prepare dinner.
"You're still talking about it, it's all because of you!" Lin Xingwan complained. She didn't know how she walked back from the vegetable market. Her legs were so weak they felt like they weren't her own. Even a casual touch from Zhou Jinbai made her body tremble.
Today, this man had gone too far.
"Sorry, I couldn't help myself." Zhou Jinbai seemed to apologize, but in reality, he showed no remorse. After a long silence, a faint male voice came from the kitchen. "Who said a 0.5 mechanical pencil can't hold a 2.0 lead?"
Lin Xingwan: ???
Why was he suddenly talking about pencils?
However, after more than ten seconds, Lin Xingwan understood.
Was this man driving? No! The steering wheel was already pressing on her face.
The old lady arrived around 5:30. When Lin Xingwan opened the door, she saw an elderly woman with a bob haircut, wearing sunglasses and a very cool outfit.
"Annyeonghaseyo."
"Ah?" Lin Xingwan was stunned.
The old lady explained, "That's how you say hello in Korean. I've been following a Korean CEO romance novel lately, and it's just too good."
Lin Xingwan then realized and quickly invited the old lady inside.
The old lady sat on the sofa, elegantly took off her sunglasses, took out a bag of freshly roasted beef tendon skewers, and offered them to Lin Xingwan. "Want to have some skewers? I also bought two cups of best friend milk tea."
Lin Xingwan smelled the tempting aroma of the beef tendon skewers and couldn't help but take one.
With one bite, it was fragrant and chewy, with oil oozing out. It was fatty and lean, and incredibly satisfying.
"Is it delicious?" the old lady asked.
Lin Xingwan nodded affirmatively. "Delicious, it smells so good."
"If it's delicious, eat it quickly, don't let Jin Bai see, or he'll lecture me again."
The old lady urged Lin Xingwan, but just as she finished speaking, Zhou Jinbai came out of the kitchen.
Seeing Lin Xingwan and the old lady eating skewers and drinking milk tea in unison, he rubbed his temples helplessly. "Didn't we say you could only have beef tendon skewers once a month?"
"I bought this for my granddaughter-in-law!" Grandma quickly winked at Lin Xingwan.
Lin Xingwan nodded affirmatively. "Yes, I asked Grandma to buy it for me. I couldn't finish it, so I let Grandma have a skewer."
Zhou Jinbai felt that these two women were completely rubbing his intelligence on the ground.
But he was helpless and could only walk over to them and confiscate the beef tendon skewers. "No more eating, or you won't be able to eat dinner."
Lin Xingwan immediately pouted. "Just one more skewer?"
"No!"
The man's tone was non-negotiable.
After speaking, he潇洒ly turned back to the kitchen.
Lin Xingwan's little face was wrinkled. The old lady quickly comforted her, "Don't be angry, don't be angry. Have some milk tea. Jin Bai is doing this for our own good."
Lin Xingwan took the milk tea and started drinking.
The old lady then said again, "Granddaughter-in-law, if you want a man to not be heartless, you must learn the eight-step charm."
"Grandma, what is the eight-step charm?" Lin Xingwan had never heard this term before.
The old lady clasped her hands together, her eyes looking pitifully at Lin Xingwan, speaking in a childish voice, "Please, okay? Pretty please... I beg you... pretty please... can you? I don't care... I love you... You're the best... I want..."
Pfft—
Lin Xingwan couldn't help herself. The milk tea in her mouth sprayed onto her clothes without warning.
"Grandma, who did you learn this from?" It was too cute. Lin Xingwan looked at the old lady's charming demeanor and finally understood why so many old men liked Grandma.
She was simply a treasure!
"Does this need to be learned? I'm an internet celebrity, a love expert, a heartthrob! This kind of thing comes naturally. Men, they need to suffer more, and we women need to learn to be charming. Charming women have the best lives."
"I understand. Next time, I'll definitely take a small notebook to record it. I'll go change my clothes first." Lin Xingwan looked at her milk-tea-stained clothes and quickly walked into the bedroom.
The old lady looked around, and her gaze soon fell on the bag Lin Xingwan had left aside.
GFML!
This brand was a lingerie brand under the Oriental Consortium.
His granddaughter-in-law actually bought this?
No, it must have been that brat Jin Bai who took his granddaughter-in-law to buy it.
Although the old lady knew it was impolite to casually look through other people's things, her grandson and granddaughter-in-law... it wasn't impossible!
The old lady quickly took it out and took a look. Before Lin Xingwan came out, she quickly put it back in place.
However, she could no longer control the smile on her face.
She had originally thought her grandson was a blockhead, but now her last worry was gone.
When dinner was ready, the old lady ate as quickly as possible and left.
Zhou Jinbai wanted to see her off, but she refused.
There was no other way, so he had his assistant pick up the old lady.
When Zhou Jinbai returned to the apartment again, he saw Lin Xingwan holding a pink gift box with both hands, talking to a stranger.
"Are you sure this is for me? But I didn't buy anything." Lin Xingwan looked down at the box, her brows furrowed tightly.
"What's going on?" Zhou Jinbai walked over and asked.
"I don't know what's going on either." Lin Xingwan handed the box to Zhou Jinbai. "Someone sent me this gift. The nickname is 'My Grandma Zhao Zilong'. I don't know this person at all. Could it be some kind of terrifying delivery?"
Lin Xingwan's mind was already imagining all sorts of dismembered limbs and dead cats and dogs.
"It's from Grandma." Zhou Jinbai signed for it.
The two returned to the room, and Lin Xingwan couldn't help but open the box. "Why would Grandma send us a gift out of the blue?"
Zhou Jinbai had a bad feeling, but he didn't say anything.
When he saw a bunny girl outfit inside the box, he had the expected expression.
No wonder the old lady left in such a hurry...
"Why are there bunny ears, and a photo? Let me see..." Seeing...
Lin Xingwan hadn't finished speaking when everything was stillborn.
Because the photo was too stimulating. A woman was wearing a pink tight-fitting outfit, but this outfit was incredibly transparent. She was wearing thigh-high stockings with lace trim, and especially a tail behind her butt...
This outfit was even more daring than the wedding dress Zhou Jinbai had chosen for her.
Lin Xingwan felt that the box in her hand was a hot potato. Why would Grandma send her such a thing?
"It seems Grandma really wants to have a great-grandchild. How about we continue what we didn't finish today?" Zhou Jinbai put the bunny ears on Lin Xingwan's head, looking at the woman's stunned appearance, she really looked like a silly little rabbit.
He traced her smooth face with his fingertips.
These evil hands!
Lin Xingwan looked like she was facing a formidable enemy. Just then, her phone rang.
Zhou Jinbai was just teasing Lin Xingwan. He had been holding back so many times, seeing but not being able to have it, he was also suffering.
"Answer the phone." The man let Lin Xingwan go.
Lin Xingwan answered the phone. Before she could speak, Liu Mengqin's angry voice on the other end seemed to pierce her eardrums. "Xingwan, have you seen the news? They are too shameless! How could they do such a thing? I'm so angry I could explode."
"Ah? What news?" Lin Xingwan was confused.
"I'll send you the link. Call me after you've read it! I need to calm down my urge to kill."
After speaking, Liu Mengqin angrily hung up the phone.
Lin Xingwan clicked on the WeChat link Liu Mengqin sent her...
