When everything settled down, Lin Xinlan closed her eyes, her mind in a haze, not knowing where she was or what she had done.
There was a hot, smooth chest pressed against her back, she curled up, and he tightly clung to her back, holding her in his arms.
The two of them were like a pair of shrimp, clinging tightly together, heart against heart, as if in this way they could be together forever...
Rong Shaoze treated Lin Xinlan with increasing tenderness, almost indulging her every wish.
To the servants, it seemed he was afraid of spoiling her with too much care, of breaking her with too much attention; he simply adored her to the extreme.
Yet Lin Xinlan still felt nothing, and the changes in Rong Shaoze’s behavior only made her frown deeper, her worries growing heavier.
The news of the change in Shengjue’s presidency created a stir for a while.
For half a month in a row, the headlines of the newspapers were filled with news about Shengjue.
After Rong Shaoze’s comeback, he was very conspicuous, attending various gatherings every day and appearing in major magazines.
He would often bring Lin Xinlan with him, and not only did he attract attention, but she also became very well known.
Now, in B City, basically many families knew that Rong Shaoze’s wife was named Lin Xinlan.
Perhaps they might not remember her face, but her name certainly became widely recognized.
Lin Xinlan knew what Rong Shaoze was aiming for; he wanted to introduce her to the nation in a high-profile manner, to make it impossible for her to escape anywhere.
He was confining her in his way, with tenderness or with dominance, bit by bit, until the day she had no chance of running away arrived.
In the silent and dark nights, Lin Xinlan always told herself that it was okay.
Even if everyone knew she was Rong Shaoze’s wife, what of it? Her determination to escape from him could not be swayed by anyone.
Escaping him had become a deep-rooted thought for her, and if she did not fulfill this desire, she would harbor resentment for a lifetime.
However, Rong Shaoze did not continue to maintain a high-profile demeanor; he achieved the effect he wanted and began to keep a low profile again, hiding Lin Xinlan in the house, away from outside eyes.
But the media, there’s never a lack of news.
After Rong Shaoze’s spotlight faded, it turned to another person, Qiao Yiyang.
Qiao Yiyang was another young and promising figure in B City, handsome and wealthy, a true diamond bachelor.
Reports about him were not infrequent, but most were positive news.
He seldom had scandals, was steady and low-key in his undertakings, and the media had never found any sensational news to report on him.
But this time was different, Qiao Yiyang’s company collapsed rapidly within just half a month and was acquired by someone, news that was enough to attract the attention of the entire B City.
So in recent times, all the major newspapers reported on Qiao Yiyang’s affair.
In the photos, Qiao Yiyang appeared calm, his tall stature projecting an imposing presence.
His eyes were deep, and his expression cool, showing not a hint of embarrassment or sadness.
