"Over the years, my elder brother has been used to obeying their decisions and has never gone against their wishes."
And she did her best to support the family, just so that Tangbao and I could have an easier life.
"He really put too much pressure on himself."
Lin Fei said, "I think his outburst today was probably because he saw Tang Bao and was angered by what my mother said and Qin Feng's attitude. How about this, you take care of him for me first."
"I will ask Tangbao to come and talk to my mom, and try to get them to stop pressuring my older brother to get married."
Then, subtly hint to them that their eldest brother and Qin Feng might be together.
"Both Big Brother and Brother Qin Feng are passive people, we have to join forces to help them."
After listening, Gu Xun remained silent for a moment, then said, "But your brother said he would give up after tonight."
"Huh? Impossible." Lin Fei laughed, confidently stating, "If he gives up, I'll come to your house and run naked upside down!"
"Hahaha... Baby, now that you say that, I'm starting to look forward to it..." Gu Xun narrowed his fox-like eyes and teased her, "I'm even thinking of breaking them up tomorrow, and then having you come over to my house and do a headstand and run naked..."
"Pah! You old scoundrel! Don't even think about it!" Lin Fei stuck her tongue out at her phone, exchanged a few more words with Gu Xun, and then hung up.
The night breeze was cool. Gu Xun put away his phone, leaned against the railing, tapped off the excess cigarette ash on the edge, and savored his conversation with Lin Fei for a moment. He smiled slightly, shook his head, and chuckled to himself, "Little brat."
She then turned and walked back to Lin Mo's room.
Looking at Lin Mo, who was frowning even in his sleep, Gu Xun reached out and smoothed his brows, murmuring, "If it weren't for Fei Fei's insistence on bringing you two together, I would really be hoping you would give up on that bastard as soon as possible."
As he spoke, his gaze fell on Lin Mo's exposed neck, revealing half of his shirt, and a dark glint flashed in his fox-like eyes.
Then, extend two fingers to pinch a small, conspicuous piece of skin, pull it up, and then release it with a snap.
Looking closer, a dark red, ambiguous mark, resembling a hickey, had appeared there...
Chapter 16
The first time a villain has been resurrected (16)
In City A, at the Biyuewan Villa District, Jiang Qinfeng parked his car in the garage in a daze.
I unlocked the keypad lock, went inside, and faced the empty house. An overwhelming feeling of bitterness welled up inside me.
The Lin family owns properties in many cities.
In the past, Jiang Qinfeng accompanied Lin Mo on his travels. Except when they had to stay in hotels, the two of them always lived together in villa areas.
Especially in a big city like City A, the villa in Biyue Bay allows the two of them to spend one to two months a year together.
But today, Lin Mo chose to stay at Lingyan Club...
Unconsciously, she began to recall the image of Gu Xun holding the man, and the words he had said.
What exactly happened that night?
What did he overlook?
What did Lin Mo do during the week he disappeared?
Get out of here!
You coward!
Suddenly, Lin Mo's words from earlier that day echoed in his ears, and he clearly sensed the emotions Lin Mo displayed in that instant—a mixture of grievance and embarrassment…
Jiang Qinfeng returned to his room and collapsed onto the bed as if all his strength had been drained.
He knew perfectly well that he had no right to go to Lingyan Club or interfere in the relationship between Gu Xun and Lin Mo.
But he still went, and when he saw Gu Xun embracing Lin Mo, he was so angry that he wanted to break the man's hand.
I drifted off to sleep.
Jiang Qinfeng had a dream.
I dreamt of myself at the Binjiang Hotel three years ago.
He and Lin Mo attended a banquet, and he shielded the man from drinking, but when they went upstairs, he noticed something in the wine.
He vaguely remembered someone helping him back to his hotel room; under the influence of the drug, he couldn't think straight.
He could only sense a familiar men's cologne scent emanating from the person supporting him; it was faint, yet it unsettled him.
He has always been cold-hearted, and his feelings of desire should not be as strong as those of others.
But I don't know if it was the medicine or the familiar smell.
The moment the door closed, he used brute force to press the person against the door and kissed their lips.
The other person tried to resist, struggling and calling his name.
But he acted as if he hadn't heard, and continued his brutal plunder.
Years of suppressed emotions and desires erupted at once, causing unimaginable consequences...
In the end, Jiang Qinfeng finally heard the person's voice clearly in this beautiful and absurd dream.
It's Lin Mo...
She was crying and calling out to him.
"Brother Qin Feng..."
The man, trembling, put his arm around his shoulder and said in a very soft voice, "I like you..."
Startled awake, Jiang Qinfeng sat up and checked the time; it was already nine in the morning.
He didn't prepare a gift for Miss Zhao at all.
After a quick wash, she hurriedly took some clothes for Lin Mo to change into and drove to Lingyan Club.
When he arrived, Lin Mo was eating breakfast, and he didn't look too good.
It was clearly a hangover causing headaches and stomach aches, making even drinking porridge unbearable for him.
"Mr. Lin, I brought your clothes." Jiang Qinfeng walked over and said, "There are stomach medicines in the car. Take a couple when you get in the car, it will make you feel better."
"Hmm..." Lin Mo nodded, as if nothing had happened, and his attitude towards Jiang Qinfeng returned to normal.
I asked him, "Have you eaten? If not, come sit down and eat with us."
"I've already eaten," Jiang Qinfeng lied for the first time ever. "You know I always get up early."
“Oh right…” Lin Mo smiled: “You’re from the team, your biological clock is around 5 or 6 o’clock, unlike me who slept until just now and had a bunch of weird dreams, which is why I have a terrible headache now.”
He said, "First I dreamed about some things from our past, and then I dreamed about the future."
"In the future, I will marry the wife I love and have a lovely daughter."
He looks a lot like me, and I woke up when he called me "Dad."
"I woke up laughing..." He looked at Jiang Qinfeng and said, "I've figured it out, this kind of life isn't bad either."
"So, Brother Qin Feng..."
This title made Jiang Qinfeng freeze.
Because of his dream last night, he belatedly realized that Lin Mo hadn't called him that in three years.
"I will try to like other people, and eventually marry someone I love who also loves me. As for the rest..."
"I won't think about it anymore."
I don't even dare to think about it anymore.
The person who usually likes to sit in the front passenger seat sat in the back this time.
Lin Mo took his stomach medicine, leaned against the door, and closed his eyes to rest.
Jiang Qinfeng's voice came from the front, sounding somewhat hoarse: "President Lin, I forgot to prepare a gift."
Lin Mo was taken aback for a moment, then subconsciously said, "So even you make mistakes sometimes."
“But it doesn’t matter,” he said. “Old Master Zhao and my grandfather are on good terms, and Zhao Xiyue, as his granddaughter, won’t care about these trivial matters.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Qinfeng unconsciously tightened his grip on the steering wheel, his heart aching.
He didn't know if last night's dream was real, nor did he know if he had really hurt Lin Mo like that.
But the words "Brother Qin Feng, I like you" were deeply rooted in his heart and could not be shaken off no matter what.
Lin Mo likes him...
The person he vowed to protect for the rest of his life expressed such ardent and intense love for him.
Yet he was so cowardly.
All he knows is pushing people away, pushing them towards strangers, pushing them towards what he believes is the right path...
But he really can't.
Unable to accept the other person's feelings.
He cannot ruin the Lin family's reputation or trample on the kindness shown to him by his parents because of his own selfish desires.
There has to be a resolution between him and Lin Mo.
The car drove smoothly on the road.
After a long silence, Jiang Qinfeng said, "President Lin, I've remembered what happened three years ago."
Lin Mo's eyes widened suddenly, and his fingertips trembled slightly.
Jiang Qinfeng saw Lin Mo's expression in the front-view mirror and was certain that the dream had actually happened.
Endless pain and self-blame enveloped him, making him wish he could stab himself.
Lin Mo tried to regulate his breathing and make his expression look more natural, then asked, "Ha, you know everything? So, is there anything you want to say?"
His voice was filled with profound fear, yet also with a humble expectation.
I hope Jiang Qinfeng can say something different.
But after waiting for a long time, all he heard was Jiang Qinfeng say to him, "I'm sorry..."
Lin Mo gripped the back of the seat, stunned, and asked, "Besides 'I'm sorry'?"
"Furthermore, from now on, I will be at your disposal." Jiang Qinfeng said, "You can take back the hurt you suffered that night and beat or scold me, as long as you can vent your anger."
