When she woke up from the dream, she was still the same Mrs. Jin in the Imperial Villa, working humbly and silently, waiting expectantly for him to look back, and no one knew about it.
Or maybe he really died in a car accident three years ago, and everything now is just her self-deceptive fantasy.
Lu Xining knew that she shouldn't be like this, but she just couldn't control it. It seemed that the happier she was now, the less at ease she felt.
Jin Shaoheng understood, and looked at her with guilt-filled eyes: "Xining, it's not your fault, it's because I hurt you too much before, too much."
Lu Xining wanted to say something else, but Jin Shaoheng's extended index finger pressed his lips, and he said to himself: "We are not in a hurry, let's take our time.
I will keep waiting for you, waiting for you to feel at ease, and waiting for you to be willing to print your name and mine on a legal, stamped book."
"The first time we got married, we were too hasty. This time I promise you that we will treat it very seriously.
How about I wait until you have no worries before mentioning remarriage?"
Lu Xining nodded.
After a while, Jin Shaoheng took her hand and said, "Let's go upstairs first."
Lu Xining did not move.
Jin Shaoheng looked at her doubtfully.
"Do you plan to keep these things here forever?" Lu Xining asked.
Jin Shaoheng touched his nose when he heard this, even though there was no doubt that he loved her.
But being confronted by her like this, I still felt a little embarrassed as a man who had deliberately hidden his emotions and thoughts.
But thinking about it, it was nothing, so he quickly overcame his awkwardness and replied: "You have already seen it, so there is no sense of mystery anymore.
From now on, I will prepare a new gift for you every year."
"Even if I didn't see it, you didn't plan to take it out, right?" Lu Xining exposed.
Jin Shaoheng nodded.
After all, I prepared it before my death, so I always felt it was unlucky.
Lu Xining didn't think so. She thought about it and said, "I want to move them back to the imperial capital together."
It may be a waste of time and money, but these are evidence that Jin Shaoheng loves her.
Jin Shaoheng was a little surprised when he heard this, but he quickly understood what she meant. He didn't say anything and agreed readily: "Okay."
"I still have something I can't figure out." Lu Xining said again.
"Say." Jin Shaoheng looked very patient.
"At the beginning, Liu Weijie said that I betrayed you. I never gave him any information that was leaked to Gu Yuzhi." Lu Xining has always been worried about this matter.
"I know." Jin Shaoheng said.
"Do you know or believe it? Have you ever thought about going over to find out?" She was afraid of what consequences it would cause.
Without waiting for Jin Shaoheng to answer, she added: "Perhaps, we can find Brother Yu's former secretary."
For people like them, it is impossible to do many things themselves. They have to leave it to the closest and most trusted assistants around them, such as Liu Weijie next to Jin Shaoheng.
The secretary next to Gu Yuzhi also exists like this.
In the past, when Gu Yu was there, it was difficult for them to take action.
Now that he is gone, if the secretary wants to survive, he will definitely find another job or something. It should not be difficult to handle without support.
"I've already looked for it," Jin Shaoheng replied.
Lu Xining was a little surprised, but soon realized that with his efficiency, how could it be delayed until this point.
"What's the result?" Lu Xining asked with concern.
Jin Shaoheng sighed and said helplessly: "You won't give up until you pick out my heart today and see clearly again and again."
"What do you mean?" Lu Xining was confused.
"The information was not stolen, but eavesdropped." Jin Shaoheng explained.
"How could your office be bugged?" He should be cautious.
"Do you still remember that you once dropped a bracelet?" Jin Shaoheng asked.
"Remember." Lu Xining replied.
"I had someone take it for repairs. That's when the bug was put in. It's smaller than the one in your watch. It's not even visible when it's wrapped in gold." Jin Shaoheng said.
"But didn't I fall again?" Lu Xining asked.
Jin Shaoheng's expression was slightly uncomfortable. He coughed lightly and said, "I picked up the fragments and kept them in the office."
"What?" If she remembered correctly, it was broken beyond repair, right?
"Just take it out and take a look when I miss you. No one wants to test that thing." After all, no matter how secretive Jin's CEO's office is, he is not a counter-terrorism organization and is not that professional.
"Are there any other losses?" He deals with so many things every day, and not all of them may be visible to others. This is terrible.
"Even if you know some things, touching them will only make you angry." He should be lucky, Gu Yuzhi is an extremely smart person.
"But, he originally wanted to spy on me, right?" Did Gu Yuzhi have this idea so early?
Or were you just worried about yourself at first? But by some strange combination of circumstances, he was brought into his office by Jin Shaoheng.
"Don't miss him." Jin Shaoheng said.
Even at this time, Jin Shaoheng still did not want Gu Yuzhi to occupy Lu Xining's thoughts.
"Then let's talk about you." Lu Xining put his hand on his neck, looked at each other, and asked: "After picking up a pile of scraps, did you fall in love with me at that time?"
She seems to have never asked this question.
"I don't know when I fell in love with you, and I don't know when I started, but my eyes always revolve around you unconsciously.
Xining, when you broke that bracelet, it was the first time that my heart felt such intense pain." Jin Shaoheng said frankly, looking at the bright face swaying in front of him.
"So you threatened me harder later?" Although he agreed not to settle old scores, Lu Xining still complained quite a bit when it came to this.
Seeing that she was about to let go of him unconsciously, Jin Shaoheng held her waist instead, and his body language did not allow her to leave, explaining: "No, you insisted on leaving me at that time, and I didn't know how to keep you."
At that time, he was used to being aloof and in control of everything. In fact, he used such a tough method just because of the unfamiliar fear in his heart.
"Despicable." Lu Xining scolded, but he didn't sound angry at all.
Jin Shaoheng kissed her and admitted: "Xining, I am not noble to begin with."
He may have changed a bit now, but his respect and tolerance for her are just because she is the person he loves, not because of anything else.
"Jin Shaoheng——"
"Xining, I'm sorry. I apologize for what I did to you." Lu Xining wanted to say something, but he missed it.
"You've said a lot today that you're sorry." Lu Xining's ears felt like calluses.
In fact, if she could say it calmly, she no longer cared so much. In other words, she didn't care a long time ago, otherwise she wouldn't have chosen to be with him again three years ago.
"But no matter how much I talk, I can't make up for the harm I've done to you." In fact, many times when he thought about it, he wished he could go back and beat his former self to death.
"Jin Shaoheng, you haven't done all harm to me, there are also things that I need to be grateful for.
For example, you cured Yu Zheng's illness, and after marrying you, you saved me from having to hide from debts and be homeless." He had also protected himself many times when she was in danger.
"Then you - did you fall in love with me because of this?" Jin Shaoheng asked.
Lu Xining shook his head: "No, it was love at first sight."
