Chapter 139: Chapter 139 Drunken Purchase

Arriving at the underground parking garage, Lin Zhijie stood by Yun Hanrui’s car and said with a bitter smile, "Han Rui, it looks like I’m going to have to hitch a ride with you today; my car won’t start!"

Yun Hanrui’s brows furrowed slightly, and then she said, "Since that’s the case, just take my car. I’m quite tired anyway, you can help me drive!"

With that, Yun Hanrui handed over her car keys to Lin Zhijie from her bag.

Lin Zhijie received the keys, but he took the opportunity to grasp Yun Hanrui’s hand, "Han Rui, I’m really too happy today!"

Yun Hanrui flustered for a moment, and pulled her hand out of Lin Zhijie’s grasp with a bit of panic, saying, "Bro... Brother Lin, what are you doing!"

A flicker of disappointment crossed Lin Zhijie’s eyes. It seemed that although Yun Hanrui had some fondness for him, it was still too soon to win her over!

However, Lin Zhijie was confident. From their interactions in America to their subsequent time back home together, he was very aware that although Yun Hanrui was a smart girl, she was extremely oblivious when it came to emotions, even naive and innocent!

Lin Zhijie, a man of many battles, was absolutely certain he could capture Yun Hanrui. If he progressed step by step, subtly occupying every corner of Yun Hanrui’s life, then she would never be able to escape the palm of his hand!

"Yun Hanrui, in this lifetime, you can only become my prey. I, Lin Zhijie, will one day become the true master of Chaoyang Biotechnology!" Lin Zhijie thought to himself.

What Lin Zhijie didn’t know was that a guy who had just appeared a month ago had already successfully squeezed into the spot he occupied in Yun Hanrui’s heart! If Yun Hanrui weren’t so oblivious, she would have realized by now that ever since she met Ling Feng, he had become an indispensable part of her life!

Along the way, Yun Hanrui sat in the passenger seat in silence without showing any expression on her face, as if she had been frightened by Lin Zhijie’s action just now.

"Han Rui, I was too excited just now," Lin Zhijie said self-deprecatingly, "you should know that I, Lin Zhijie, have never been cared for in this world. My father is a drunk; as far back as I can remember, he was either drinking or asleep! My mother couldn’t stand his domestic abuse and left early on, so I hardly felt any warmth from a home!"

Yun Hanrui’s expression softened, and her look towards Lin Zhijie relaxed.

"I used to feel very inferior. Even though I was admitted to Stanford University and achieved results that many would be proud of, in my heart, I had no sense of security! And it was at that time that I met you!"

"Do you know? I never thought that in a foreign land, I would meet a girl as strong and courageous as you. I even saw a power in you, an unyielding spirit! This is also why I could give up the superior conditions in America and accept your invitation to return home! Because I knew that here was the only place in my heart that mattered..."

Yun Hanrui’s gaze shifted evasively, and she interrupted Lin Zhijie, "Brother Lin, you’re too kind! In my heart, I truly respect you! And for you to come to my company, I am really thankful! Today is New Year’s Day, and it is only right that I don’t let you spend it all alone in Yanjing!"

From Lin Zhijie’s words, Yun Hanrui could sense his feelings, but she was scared; she was afraid that Lin Zhijie would say the words that unsettled her, so she promptly cut him off!

Lin Zhijie let out a small smile, "Alright, let’s not talk about that anymore, today I’ll be imposing on you!"

Lin Zhijie had more than enough patience for Yun Hanrui, just like an outstanding hunter.

Meanwhile, in a bar in Yanjing, Sun Xiaofei sat desolately by the bar counter, drinking one glass after another. The icy yet fiery red wine poured into her stomach, making her feel as if her body was ablaze!

Today was New Year’s Day, and she had wanted to dress up nicely, looking forward to a romantic dinner with Lin Zhijie tonight. But an afternoon phone call had shattered her expectations!

Even though she clearly understood that visiting the president’s home was a good opportunity for Lin Zhijie, on this night when families reunited, she could only sit alone in an empty room, imagining him being lively and jovial with another woman!

Every time she thought of this, Sun Xiaofei’s heart felt as if it were being shredded by knives!

She liked Lin Zhijie very much. Since the first time she saw him, she knew she had fallen for him uncontrollably! His confident smile, his witty conversation, and his profound knowledge—Sun Xiaofei was quickly conquered!

A woman in love is crazy and irrational! She knew Lin Zhijie had ulterior motives toward the president, but in the end, she took the side of her lover, feeling guilty toward Yun Hanrui, who had given her so much support!

She wholeheartedly believed in the beautiful future Lin Zhijie promised her, but she was also worried, worried that Lin Zhijie might truly have feelings for Yun Hanrui!

She was that kind of foolish girl, a girl who would do anything for her love! All she wanted was simple: to see the man she loved every day, to hold hands with him on festive days just like this, to walk along the streets and enjoy the envious stares of others. To smell his scent on a cold night, to be spoilt and held in his arms...

But all of this,, Sun Xiaofei was doomed never to enjoy!

Because Lin Zhijie had told her that he was controlled by a mysterious organization, and only by taking control of Chaoyang Biotechnology would he be free, would he be able to be with Sun Xiaofei. Until then, they could only keep their relationship secret, and they absolutely could not go public!

"But do you know, Zhijie, how much I really want to be by your side, how much I really miss you!" Tears flowed down Sun Xiaofei’s face, and in this cold night, she felt so lonely.

"Miss, what’s wrong? Are you upset about something?" A sleazy-looking young man approached Sun Xiaofei, eyeing her voraciously.

The unique temperament and beautiful face of Sun Xiaofei in the bar was like a succulent piece of meat in a swarm of flies, finally attracting someone who couldn’t resist coming up to hit on her!

Now slightly tipsy, Sun Xiaofei looked disdainfully at the little hoodlum before her, a sneer appearing on her lips, "What? Trying to pick me up?"

The hoodlum was taken aback at first, and then chuckled, "I just saw the miss looking so sad and wanted to come over to cheer you up! I think after my consolation, you definitely won’t be sad anymore, you’ll be over the moon!"

Sun Xiaofei gave the hoodlum a cold glance, "Over the moon? With you? Keep your distance, as far away as your thoughts! And stop pestering me!"

The hoodlum’s expression turned cold, "Miss, you’re being unreasonable. I came here out of kindness to cheer you up; you shouldn’t be so ungrateful!"

"I don’t need it!" Sun Xiaofei staggered to her feet, pulled out a few large bills from her bag, and slapped them on the table, "I’m paying the bill. Keep the change."

"You think you can leave just like that? It’s not that easy!" The hoodlum signalled with his eyes to several others around him, and quickly a few more people began to slowly surround her.
