Chapter 60 Intimate
Yesterday, Old Master Zhou heard the matter of Yun Xi treating Zhou Lin’s leg injury. He also heard the matter of Yun Xi walking into his son’s study without knocking on the door.
Old Master Zhou thought of how Zhou Lin would even guard against him when he was reading in the study or handling official business. On the other hand, Zhou Lin left the door open for Yun Xi. Old Master Zhou did not think that his son also had a double standard!
Thinking of this, Old Master Zhou was full of smiles.
When Zhou Lin saw the smile on his father’s face, he also felt puzzled. His father was usually a serious person, and it was very rare for him to smile like that.!!
Nothing funny happened here, so why was his father smiling so happily?
Could it be because Yun Lian wanted to clean Zhou Lin’s study and his father was ready to watch the show from the side? The more Zhou Lin thought about it, the more he felt that this was the reason. Zhou Lin glared fiercely at his father.
Old Master Zhou also became puzzled. He did not know why his son suddenly glared at him. Nonetheless, this was his own son after all. Old Master Zhou quickly let it go.
He had to think of a way to get rid of Yun Lian. He had to create an opportunity for his son to be alone with his future daughter-in-law. Old Master Zhou did not allow anyone to enter Zhou Lin’s study, not even Zhou Lin’s brother. It was not only because there were too many complicated things and confidential documents in the study.
It was also because Zhou Lin was a person with a strong sense of self. Moreover, Zhou Lin was also very possessive. He would never allow others to intrude into his territory. Similarly, once he had set his eyes on Yun Xi, he would not allow others to covet her.
Old Master Zhou thought of a way to make use of Yun Lian’s guilt. He would let her accompany him for a walk in the park in front of the residential area and find an old friend to play chess with. This way, the house would be left alone for the couple. Nevertheless, while the study had always been a forbidden place for outsiders, Zhou Lin took the initiative to invite Yun Xi in to check on his private books. If this were to be known by others, they would probably be so shocked that their jaws would drop.
Old Master Zhou was secretly observing the interaction between Yun Xi and Zhou Lin. The smile on his face grew wider. Zhou Lin had finally met someone who could move his heart. The old master no longer had to worry that his child would be single after a hundred years.
Most of Zhou Lin’s bookshelves were books related to military affairs, but there were also some books related to literature.
Yun Xi randomly took out an essay book and sat on a small sofa opposite the main desk in the study.
Zhou Lin did not go to the army these few days because of his leg injury, but he was still in his study dealing with some matters within his abilities. Just like that, the two of them sat on either side, each busy with their own matters.
Although there was no verbal communication between them, in such an environment, their souls were in perfect harmony, creating a very comfortable atmosphere. Zhou Lin would occasionally raise his head to look at Yun Xi’s expression after work. When he noticed that she was not paying attention to his line of sight, he continued to lower his head to work.
After a while, Zhou Lin let out a long sigh of relief. It seemed that he had finished the more troublesome tasks at hand.
Zhou Lin also took a book from the bookshelf and sat next to Yun Xi. For some reason, perhaps because the current atmosphere was too comfortable, Yun Xi was starting to become sleepy. The words in the book gradually became blurry to her. She felt that her head was getting heavier until it came into contact with the “leather-like” sofa. However, how was this a soft sofa? It was Zhou Lin’s lap!
That said, the texture was simply too comfortable. Yun Xi slowly lay on this thigh and fell asleep. Zhou Lin lowered his head to look at the person on his lap. His heart gradually warmed up.
Although this was not the first time Zhou Lin had been so close to Yun Xi, his heart was beating fast at this moment. Even so, he did not want to let go. He just wanted to quietly hug Yun Xi until the end of time.
The setting sun in the evening cast an orange glow. The warm sunlight shone on Yun Xi’s face, successfully waking up the sleeping beauty.
On the other side, the sound of a key being turned in the keyhole could be heard at the door. It was the return of Yun Lian and Old Master Zhou, who had returned from playing chess.
