CP is forcing me to have a wife, and the male protagonist asked me who he is

Xie Zhuxin looked at the name on the caller ID, took a deep breath, and answered the call.

"I'm at my usual place in the underground parking lot, come down."

As soon as I picked up the phone, the familiar man's voice came into my ears.

"Linyun, you...you've returned from England? You're just downstairs from my studio?"

Xie Zhuxin was shocked and asked tentatively.

"Well, it's still the same car, you know."

Zhang Linyun’s answer made Xie Zhuxin stunned.

Ever since New Year's Eve, although I started a unilateral cold war because I was feeling uncomfortable, I found various excuses and rarely answered Zhang Linyun's calls.

But after all, he was still her boyfriend, and she couldn't tell him the reason for the cold war. She had no reason to directly refuse to answer the call.

Therefore, Xie Zhuxin still knew the arrival time of his flight back to China——

Just this morning.

It’s just that for international flights, delays of several hours are normal.

Because of the secret relationship, it was impossible for her, a female star, to go to the airport to pick him up.

The most important thing is, Xie Zhuxin thought, since Zhang Linyun attached so much importance to the reversal plan, he was even willing to use himself as bait and personally take part in the battle, so busy that he did not even let him go during the Chinese New Year.

Then after returning home, he will definitely deal with official business first.

He will come to me after he finishes the things at hand, and it is normal even if it takes several days.

There was no need for him to let his flight landing on that day affect the work arrangements that had been made on the first day of work.

Therefore, Xie Zhuxin originally planned to just call in the evening to confirm whether Zhang Linyun had arrived safely.

But now he actually received a call from Zhang Linyun, saying that he had arrived downstairs of his studio?

Calculate the drive from the airport, and then look at the time -

Isn't it too early?

Not only was his flight not delayed, but he went straight to his studio as soon as he got off the plane?

Didn’t you go home to put your luggage down and change your clothes?

Xie Zhuxin bit her lip and her heart suddenly softened.

In the few seconds before she answered the phone, a lot of messy thoughts ran through her mind.

Testing, indifference, questioning, quarreling...

But at this moment, the longing that surged in my heart suddenly suppressed all other thoughts.

"Okay, I'll be down right away."

Xie Zhuxin walked out of the office with a calm expression and headed towards the elevator, but her steps became lighter and lighter.

I arrived at the underground garage and found the inconspicuous black car in the corner.

It looks simple from the outside, but has excellent anti-peep and soundproofing effects, and is specially used by the two of them for going out on dates.

After getting in the car, she finally saw Zhang Linyun, who looked a little tired but had bright eyes.

I haven't seen him for a month. He has lost some weight, but his face looks much more cheerful than before.

"Linyun..."

As soon as Xie Zhuxin let out a soft cry, her body was hugged by a pair of strong arms.

Then, a pair of hot lips came up.

She struggled to speak, and just as she moved her head back a little, a pair of large hands held the back of her head firmly.

"Shh, don't talk..."

Zhang Linyun uttered these words vaguely, and immediately chased after him relentlessly.

Xie Zhuxin soon couldn't remember what she was going to say.

She gradually immersed herself in the sweetness of the long-awaited reunion, and her head was groggy and she didn't know how much time had passed.

Until Zhang Linyun let her go, he muttered something to himself.

"I have an appointment to discuss something this afternoon. We only have time for lunch and we can't stay here for too long."

She was startled and suddenly became a little more sober.

Xie Zhuxin raised his eyes, looked at Zhang Linyun who was about to start the car, and reached out to hold his steering wheel.

"You have an appointment to discuss something this afternoon?"

"Correct."

"Then can't you come to see me again in the evening?"

"There are other things to do tonight."

This familiar conversation made the smile on Xie Zhuxin's face disappear in an instant.

Didn’t Zhang Linyun use the same words to deal with me during the time when we couldn’t meet before the New Year?

How come the Chinese New Year is over, and I just visited the homes of those small shareholders of overseas groups. Do I still have to be so busy?

"Tomorrow? No, you don't have anything to do this week, do you?"

The smile on Xie Zhuxin's face was almost sarcastic.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Linyun was silent for a few seconds and then nodded in acknowledgement.

"...Xinxin, you know. I have almost dealt with the small shareholders on the list, and only a few key figures in the group are left.

"I'm afraid I won't have time to see you later, so I'll come over to have lunch with you as soon as I get off the plane. After that, I have to leave right away because I have to fly out of town tomorrow..."

Xie Zhuxin's heart suddenly turned cold.

The mind that was originally overwhelmed by hormones finally became completely sober.

"So after not seeing each other for a month, you suddenly came to see me, but you could only accompany me for one afternoon and then you were leaving right away? I thought the schedule of a female star was already outrageous enough, but I didn't expect you to be even more cruel..."

Xie Zhuxin was completely unable to suppress her disappointment at the moment, and her tone became sharp.

Zhang Linyun's voice lowered.

"Xinxin, you know my plan has reached a critical stage. I've been really busy recently. I couldn't even arrange time for lunch.

"Fortunately, Assistant Feng, no, President Feng had someone drive this car to the airport, and I came directly here, just in time to give you a surprise..."

Unfortunately, Zhang Linyun’s words not only failed to calm her down, but instead added fuel to the fire.

Xie Zhuxin only felt that a fire that had been suppressed for a long time suddenly emerged from the bottom of his heart.

"Surprise? This surprise isn't significant enough. The words 'Brother Linyun' gave me a bigger surprise!"

Zhang Linyun's expression suddenly changed.

"You really still care about Xiao Fu! I've already explained that she's just my third uncle's granddaughter. I don't have any feelings for her, and there's nothing ambiguous in my words and actions.

"But since that day, you have become much colder towards me! Don't you trust me? Between us..."

"It's not about that girl at all!"

Xie Zhuxin interrupted him.

She knew that Zhang Linyun could not be unaware of her one-sided cold war.

Yeah.

Now that we have come this far, there is no need to hold back on some words. Just say it out loud!

"It's not her I care about, it's what you think.

"If Third Uncle wasn't just a small shareholder and his vote couldn't decide the overall situation, I'm afraid your choice today would not be like this, right?

"In order to take back the Jingshi Group and to defeat your father, you can do anything with your feelings, including getting engaged, canceling the engagement, and using your marriage as a bargaining chip, right?"

It was not until these words came out of his mouth that Xie Zhuxin realized that she had actually been brooding over the reason why Zhang Linyun agreed to the business marriage.

She believed that Zhang Linyun's love for her now was genuine.

But deep down, she didn't believe he would make much sacrifice for this relationship.

Especially when he faces his career.

So, when she found out that he could achieve his career goals through sacrifice, or even pretending to sacrifice his feelings, her first instinctive reaction was to believe it!

in other words--

She didn't have much confidence in the feelings he gave her!

"Isn't it the same for you?"

Zhang Linyun was silent for a moment, then suddenly sneered.

"In order to realize your dream of becoming an actor and to gain enough say in the entertainment industry, you can do anything for your relationship, including not dating, creating scandals, turning fake relationships into real ones, and falling in love with your leading man..."

Xie Zhuxin's eyes widened and she finally couldn't help but interrupt him loudly.

“That’s my professional requirement as an actor!”

"I also have my career requirements as a businessman!"

Zhang Linyun retorted without showing any weakness.

He closed his eyes and spoke again after a long while.

The voice returned to its deep, slightly hoarse tone.

"Admit it, Xinxin, we are both equally selfish when it comes to love! We are not the first in each other's hearts, so we have no right to blame each other..."

Xie Zhuxin looked at Zhang Linyun's face for a long time.

Although he tried hard to wear a calm mask and said seemingly rational words.

But after being together for such a long time, I can already see some fragility in the cracks of his mask that is hard to ignore.

She suddenly realized that

Maybe, Zhang Linyun didn't have much confidence in the feelings he had for him?

There was silence in the carriage for a long time.

"At least, I didn't lie to you or hide anything from you."

Xie Zhuxin said this, got out of the car and left without looking back.

Behind her was Zhang Linyun's suddenly broken expression and his eyes fixed on her back.
