My Ceo Husband is Sworn Enemy-Chapter 393 - He Obviously Wants to Flirt with You
Chapter 393: Chapter 393 He Obviously Wants to Flirt with You
“Okay, no problem!”
Shen Yishu agreed readily and accelerated to drop me off at the entrance of the hotel.
However, after I got out of the car, he didn’t leave.
“You two can go now!”
Shen Yishu and Jian Jing, however, both got out of the car.
Jian Jing exclaimed,
“Wow, a five-star hotel, it’s really luxurious. Have you stayed here before, President Shen?”
“No, how about we go in and take a look around?”
“I heard this place has a good seafood buffet, let’s go try it out, but, you’ll have to foot the bill, President Shen.”
“No problem, let’s go!”
To my surprise, right in front of me, the two of them just walked away.
I chased after them and called out,
“Hey, you two, it’s late at night, hurry up and leave. Shen Yishu, you should take Jian Jing home.”
“No way, no way, we’re going to have the seafood buffet!”
Jian Jing insisted repeatedly.
In truth, I knew very well that they weren’t really interested in the seafood buffet; it was just an excuse to stay with me, afraid that something might happen to me.
After being together for so many years, I was well aware of what was on their minds.
After shaking my head helplessly, I had no choice but to head to Room 88 alone.
Actually, the previous international business hotel was also an option for accommodation.
And many business people chose to stay there.
This Meiyuan International Hotel, though, was quite off the beaten track in terms of location.
Being far from the city center, it didn’t seem like a great choice.
Amidst my doubts, I had already reached the door of Room 88, feeling quite nervous on the inside.
Just as I was about to press the doorbell, my phone suddenly rang.
After a glance, seeing it was Shen Yishu’s number, I answered the call.
“Have you gone in yet?”
“Not yet! Do you need me for something?”
“No, no, I just… miss you a bit…”
“Stop it, okay? I’m fine, don’t get too nervous.”
“But it’s not that. The other guy is an older man, and if he has any ideas about you, you could be at a big disadvantage.”
“Don’t worry, I’ve brought Wolf-Repellent Spray. If he dares to lay a hand on me, I won’t be soft-hearted.”
“Alright, Jian Jing and I are your strong support; we’ll wait for you.”
I hung up the phone, ready to press the doorbell, but found that the other party had already opened the door.
Lin Nansheng was dressed in a light gray suit, his smile calm and modest. He elegantly extended his hand,
“Miss Song, please come in!”
I wondered if he had overheard my conversation with Shen Yishu, since I had mentioned things like Wolf-Repellent Spray. If he was a gentleman, such things could be seen as an insult.
Seeing my hesitation, he chuckled warmly,
“Don’t worry, there are others here!”
His words implied that I had no reason to worry about him having ulterior motives since there were other people present.
After entering, I found it was a presidential suite. I saw a small living area with a man dressed as a butler preparing tea.
“Please take a seat!”
With a third person present, I felt much more at ease.
I nodded with a smile and sat down.
After the butler had finished making the tea, he went into the next room, a study, leaving just Lin Nansheng and me sitting face to face.
“Miss Song, I apologize for having you come over so late.”
“It’s no problem. As long as Mr. Lin likes, I can come over anytime. Take a look, these are our product details!”
I rearranged the product information in front of him.
He didn’t reach for it, but instead handed me a teacup and exchanged a few pleasantries with me,
“For someone so young to start their own fashion company, you really are the best example among the young people.”
“You flatter me, Mr. Lin! I simply enjoy fashion design and slowly worked my way up from there.”
“When did you learn fashion design? Who influenced and inspired you?”
“Actually, it mostly comes from my mother… My mother is a typical woman from the south of the Yangtze River, gentle and smart, with great skill in embroidery, making cheongsams, and the like.”
“Oh…”
Lin Nansheng seemed thoughtful as he responded.
He seemed lost in some memory…
“I’m sorry, did I talk too much about my personal matters? Should we get back to business topics?”
I knew that for a capital tycoon like Lin Nansheng, their time was precious, not a minute to be wasted, and here I was, babbling about my family affairs.
He smiled warmly, his deep voice resonating like a bass cannon.
“No worries. In business, we also care a lot about our partners’ family backgrounds and culture. Clients with cultural heritage tend to be more trustworthy, making for more lasting collaborations. I’m actually quite willing to hear more about your family. By the way, your surname is Song, so is your mother’s, which means you took your mother’s surname?”
“Yes! My uncle raised me since I was a child.”
“Did your father allow this? Because in our traditional culture, children usually take their father’s surname.” freewёbnoνel.com
I sighed,
“I’ve never met my father! He’s never shown up since I was born.”
Lin Nansheng’s expression became somewhat grave,
“That’s truly unfortunate!”
“Yes, it is!”
“Do you resent him in your heart?”
“What do you mean?”
“I mean, your father has never fulfilled his parental duties. Do you hold any resentment towards him?”
I thought carefully,
“To say I feel no resentment at all would be impossible. As a child, seeing others with fathers and having none myself, I felt quite dejected. I didn’t understand why my father did not want me, which was truly upsetting. I always wanted to prove that I was no worse than other kids, waiting for my father to come and fetch me one day. But, even as I reached adulthood, he never appeared… However, it doesn’t matter anymore, I’ve gotten used to life without him.”
Lin Nansheng’s expression grew even more solemn, and he brewed me another cup of tea, “You are indeed a good child! Very strong and brave!”
“Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Lin!”
“By the way, what are the current challenges your company is facing?”
I don’t know why, but I always felt that Lin Nansheng acted without any pretense in my presence.
He was like a generous elder, offering me a lot of insights on company management that really broadened my thinking.
Before we knew it, we had talked for over two hours.
After I bid him farewell.
As I stepped out of the room, Shen Yishu and Jian Jing burst out from behind the door.
“Are you okay? Did he lay a hand on you?” Jian Jing asked.
I tapped her on the head, “What are you thinking? He is a gentleman, besides, he is not young anymore.”
“Psh, men like that are the most thirsty, lonely and cold, might be looking to make you a mistress…”
“Enough, enough, let’s get going, we should head back!”
Shen Yishu drove us back, and on the way, Jian Jing bombarded me with questions,
“Did you sign the order?”
“We didn’t sign the order yet, but he said that there are some issues with the current direction of our company’s operations, and he will make time to discuss them with me again. Oh, we’ve also agreed to have dinner the day after tomorrow.”
“No way, he doesn’t sign the order but asks you out to dinner? He’s clearly trying to pick you up!” Jian Jing said excitedly.
