Stand-In Boyfriend Fu Zheng Ji

Li wanted to hear Zhang Ling's answer.

Like a bolt from the blue, he almost fell to the ground due to dizziness.

Chen Jian on the side quickly stepped forward to help Li Xiang up.

While asking about Li Xiang's physical condition with concern, he also did not forget to show a meaningful smile to Zhang Ling.

This smile is more like a provocation to Zhang Ling!
Declare to her that Chen Jian is the biggest winner in this game.

Although Zhang Ling had already realized that her answer just now was a trap.

But she had no way of knowing what kind of trap it was.

Even so, Zhang Ling had no intention of explaining too much what she had just said.

For Li Xiang!

This was the answer he didn't want to hear.

He felt that his previous efforts to pursue Zhang Ling were a joke.

There was no hesitation in Zhang Ling's answer.

This answer was what he expected again.

Then he can use his status as a senior engineer to pursue Zhang Ling without any scruples.

But this pursuit left him less passionate than the first time.

This time there is more calmness!
He decided that this time he must resolutely use the identity of senior engineer.

Even if we encounter problems that cannot be solved, such as Zhang Ling’s class reunion.

He also had to hold on.

Because he must return to his status as a senior engineer in the future.

Then this identity must not be as useful as Li Xiang's identity from Zhihua Technology.

So he and Zhang Ling had to adapt in advance.

Maybe you have no experience pursuing your love for the first time.

In addition, he is too eager for quick success and instant gain.

In a hurry, he chose to use the identity of Li Xiang of Zhihua Technology to help Zhang Ling out of trouble.

This is the most fatal mistake!
That was why he initially chose a blind date to get to know Zhang Ling.

Naturally it became the biggest joke.

He forced himself to show a stiff smile and said:
"Zhang Ling, are you sure you don't agree?"

He just wanted to confirm it one last time.

Zhang Ling nodded "Yeah" without any suspense.

Chen Jian's heart was already filled with joy!

This indicates that Li Xiang will definitely not interfere with the subsequent actions of forcing Zhang Ling to submit.

But Chen Jian still held back his smile, pretending to be worried and comforting:
"Li Xiang, are you okay? Please be strong. Zhihua Technology still needs you."

When Zhang Ling heard Chen Jian's words, it became more and more confirmed that what he just asked her was a trap.

But that's just confirmation without substantial evidence.

So she looked at Li Xiang and reminded him tentatively:

"Hey, Li Xiang, are you making a mistake? I refused Chen Jian's request, but Chen Jian himself didn't even react, yet he was able to hit you like this. You guys really have a deep brotherhood!"

Chen Jian was obviously worried that Li Xiang had heard the hidden meaning in Zhang Ling's words.

So I said with a bit of pride:

"Sister-in-law, you don't know that since ancient times, men have regarded brothers as brothers and women as clothes. Our years of brotherhood are not just talk."

This is obviously mocking Zhang Ling's whimsical thinking.

I actually imagined that the love between a man and a woman for a few months could compete with the brotherhood for several years.

Zhang Ling would not believe Chen Jian's words easily.

She looked at Li with her anger towards Chen Jian and wanted to say:
"Li Xiang, I want you to say it!"

I feel that Li Xiang will definitely speak to Xiaodouzi for her sake.

It was as if she had already forgotten what Li Xiang said to her in the car that morning.

Li Xiang took special care of him because he was really Li Xiang.

He said that he must maintain the deep relationship with Chen Jian at all times.

As a substitute, he could only nod in agreement and said:
"That's right! Chen Jian is right. Brothers should be like brothers."

Naturally, he said this because of Zhang Ling's answer just now.

Thinking that since you, Zhang Ling, have no desire to get married to him at all.

Then there is nothing wrong with his answer.

"Okay, okay, you are very good! So Xiaodouzi..."

Zhang Ling's heart felt as if someone had ruthlessly poured sulfuric acid on her heart.

A burning sensation made every muscle in her body tremble.

Chen Jian, who was on the side, saw her expression and felt a sense of guilt in his heart.

Chen Jian prayed silently in his heart:

Even if he was asked to plead guilty to Zhang Ling in the future after fulfilling his old mother's last wish, he would never blink an eye.

Now I can only feel sorry for the two of them.

Li Xiang pretended to smile calmly and interrupted her, saying:

"What's wrong with Xiaodouzi? This doesn't seem to affect us being her parents."

Li Xiang had feelings for Xiaodouzi from the bottom of his heart.

But I never intended to give up being a father to my children.

It's just that I'm afraid I will temporarily disappoint Xiaodouzi.

Because Xiaodouzi has always hoped that the two adults will be together in a real sense.

However, Li Xiang still firmly believes!
The two of them are temporarily separated on the surface so that they can be truly together in the future.

"Yes, you seem to be right!" Zhang Ling suppressed the dissatisfaction in her heart and continued to appear calm and said, "Okay, I said if you two have nothing to discuss, then I still have other important things to deal with. Sorry for sending you off so far."

Chen Jian astutely noticed Zhang Ling's strong dislike for Li Xiang.

I feel that the basic purpose has been achieved.

So he pretended to be angry and shouted:

"What? I said Vice President Zhang, you are driving us away..."

Li wanted to protect the face of Zhihua Technology, so he forcefully pulled Chen Jian and left quickly and politely.

Secretary Xiao Jin came to her at this time and asked:

"Vice President Zhang, what's wrong with you?"

"Let's go, just leave like this?"

Zhang Ling watched with a stiff face as the two figures disappeared from the door.

I also imagined that Li Xiang would try his best to find a reason to stay.

Then say something more to her.

Just say "goodbye".

But he left decisively without looking back.

She completely realized that Li Xiang was no longer the same Li Xiang.

at the same time.

Li wanted to drag Chen Jian into the elevator.

Chen Jian, who was still making noises before, fell silent the moment the elevator door closed.

That's because they were the only two brothers in the elevator.

I saw Li Xiang's serious and cold eyes staring at him with a hint of sadness.

Chen Jian was not sure what Li Xiang's behavior meant.
It’s the calm before the storm, so to speak;

It can also be said that Li Xiang was simply in a daze.

However, there are still standards for Chen Jian to judge.

According to Li Xiang's previous attitude towards Zhang Ling.

Chen Jian could only guard Li Xiang with high spirits.

Because it is predicted that Li Xiang will most likely have a friendly exchange between men with him.

Although this kind of thing used to happen all the time.

But this time Chen Jian was obviously more nervous than ever.

It was as if a primary school student had gotten into a big trouble and was being taken away by the teacher to meet his parents.

Time passed by second by second.

Chen Jian has wiped the sweat from his forehead three times in a row.

He smiled slightly awkwardly and explained to Li Xiang:

"Aha, their elevator here is so hot! Why isn't there an air conditioner to cool down?"

Li Xiang seemed to have not heard anything at all and still stared at him with a calm expression.

He therefore judged that the storm coming from Li Xiang must be more violent than before.

With a strong desire to survive, he subconsciously glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw that the number of floors the elevator was descending reached 3.

almost!

Chen Jian knew that he could not fall into Li Xiang's hands this time.

He might be beaten so hard that he wouldn't be able to get out of bed for half a month.

He knew that Li Xiang always paid attention to etiquette and face.

You will never do anything in front of outsiders.

So he subconsciously moved his toes slowly towards the elevator door.

Be prepared to escape as soon as the elevator opens.

The sound of the elevator arriving sounded pleasantly in my ears.

As the elevator door slowly opened, Chen Jian was ready for a [-]-meter sprint.What a coincidence!

Li Xiang came back to his senses at this time.

I saw a white feather on Chen Jian's shoulder.

He wanted to reach out and brush Chen Jian's hair away.

Unexpectedly, this behavior completely misunderstood Chen Jian.

Misunderstanding that a storm has arrived.

Chen Jian ran away with a look of horror on his face.

It felt like a pack of hungry wolves were chasing behind me.

Li Xiang was a little confused and walked out of the elevator door.

He casually held the white velvet floating in the air in his hand.

Just then I heard Chen Jian shouting again:

"Li Xiang, I have to go back to the company in an emergency."

Li Xiang was a little puzzled!
When did Chen Jian become so passionate about work?
What's more, he also wants to return to the company.

Why can't we do it together?

In fact, Li Xiang was just in a daze in the elevator.

Chen Jian's nervousness was simply due to his guilty conscience after having done something bad.

In the old days.

Chen Jian came to Li Xiang's office several times whenever he had something to do.

Especially when he is about to get off work, Chen Jian will show his face once.

Today, Li Xiang has not seen Chen Jian since he returned to the office.

Li Xiang thought Chen Jian had not returned to the company at all.

After asking the secretary, I learned that Chen Jiang had just left work a few minutes ago.

Obviously, this guy is afraid of him.

But Li Xiang hasn't figured out why Chen Jian is afraid yet.

evening!

The family of three was just like a few days ago.

After dinner, we happily gathered together in Zhang Ling's bedroom to paint.

The only difference is that there is no model Yan Yuan today.

It is said that a colleague was invited to a disco for his birthday.

In Zhang Ling's opinion, Yan Yuan went on a date as an excuse.

The painting is nearing completion.

Yan Yuan in the painting obviously has some charm of the real person.

Now you only need to use Xiaodouzi and needle and thread to make the eyebrows more three-dimensional and the job is done.

Take advantage of this gap.

Zhang Ling, who had been depressed for a day, planned to ask Li for an explanation.

Because from the moment they step in the door, including when they eat at the dinner table.

Li didn't even take the initiative to say a word to her like before.

The sensitive Xiaodouzi had already discovered the clues.

Just now when Li Xiang was going to the bathroom, he asked her what happened to her father?
Today's dad looks like he's smiling all the time.

But Xiaodouzi was keenly aware of his unnatural bitterness.

For this reason, she also asked Zhang Ling if she bullied Li Xiang too hard?

Correct!
In the relationship between them, in Xiaodouzi's eyes, Zhang Ling has always bullied Li Xiang.

Zhang Ling was unwilling to admit this.

But Xiaodouzi used the painting this time as an example.

When we were painting together, my mother treated my father as her subordinate.

He kept giving mission orders to his father.

My mother even openly blamed my father when he made careless mistakes.

And my father would admit his negligence every time with a wry smile.

Xiaodouzi felt very sorry for her father several times.

Xiaodouzi pointed out that it was understandable that she, a mother, would do things at her own pace.

But she also forced Li Xiang and Xiaodouzi to act at her pace.

This is a bit too much!
Xiaodouzi also said that she was still young.

There is nothing wrong with choosing to listen to your mother.

And dad is an adult just like mom.

When there are conflicts in things, they can be resolved through discussion.

But dad seems to be passively obedient in front of mom.

This is especially true when mom and dad are playing games together.

In name, my mother begged my father to take her to the King's Palace with her.

But during the actual operation, my mother not only disobeyed my father's instructions.

If he loses the game, his mother will blame his father for his incompetence.

Dad smiled awkwardly every time and admitted that it was all his fault.

Only then will mom give up and stop arguing with dad.

Xiaodouzi put it forward based on his own situation.

She said that many times, as a child, she would have a rebellious mentality of not wanting to listen to her mother.

So it is natural that dad, an adult, will have a rebellious mentality more often than she, a child.

In the end, Xiaodouzi came to the conclusion that his father was too humble and pitiful in front of his mother.

Zhang Ling listened to what Xiaodouzi wanted to say for Li.

She fell into a brief moment of thought.

She combined what Li wanted to say in the car that morning.

Zhang Ling was surprised to find that Xiaodouzi was right.

What’s more, I discovered that this child’s observation and analysis ability is not inferior to that of ordinary adults at all.

Xiaodouzi has a promising future!
moment.

Encouraged by Xiaodouzi, Zhang Ling took the initiative to ask Li Xiang to talk alone.

Li Xiang looked at her with a numb attitude and said:

"That's not necessary. Is there anything I can't say in front of Xiaodouzi? I don't intend to keep any secrets from Xiaodouzi."

The clever little Douzi saw her mother breathing heavily.

It feels like a friendly ice-breaking discussion between parents is about to collapse.

Xiaodouzi smiled brightly and said:

"Dad, just listen to mom. Go out and find a quiet place to chat for now."

"Why? Dad really wants to see more of Xiaodouzi."

Li Xiang looked at Xiaodouzi with doting eyes.

Xiaodouzi looked at Li Xiang with the needle and thread in his hand and explained:
"Xiaodouzi likes a quieter environment when doing this. It's hard for me to calm down when you guys are talking here."

While talking, Xiaodouzi deliberately pricked his finger.

"Oh, Dad, look! My heart can't be quiet, and my finger was pricked by a needle again."

Li Xiang felt distressed and wanted to help Xiaodouzi wipe the blood stains from his fingertips.

In the end, he was rejected by Xiaodouzi.

Li Xiang was a little unhappy and wanted to accuse Xiaodouzi of being disobedient.

Zhang Ling on the side understood what Xiaodouzi was thinking.

She stepped forward and touched Xiaodouzi's cheek and said:

"Okay, Xiaodouzi will deal with this little injury on his own. You don't have to worry too much. I think now Xiaodou just wants to see you and I can go out and talk alone."

"Yeah!" The clever Xiaodouzi nodded quickly to Li Xiang after hearing this.

Li Xiang looked at Xiaodouzi and thought for a while and said:
"Okay. Then daddy will listen to Xiaodouzi."

Purpose achieved!
But Zhang Ling didn't know whether she should be happy or not?
Mainly because of what Li Xiang said at the end.

Obviously, her status in Li Xiang's heart is not as high as Xiaodouzi's.

If he said he was unhappy, it was because when the family of three were together in the past, Li Xiang always focused on her.

No matter what you do, she will be the first to ask for her opinion.

He was afraid that his words and deeds would make her unhappy.

And now the center has moved to Xiaodouzi.

She felt like she had lost something important inexplicably.

It feels so empty!

Saying he is happy proves that Li Xiang really regards Xiaodouzi as his daughter.

She is really happy for Xiaodou!
As soon as I walked out of the bedroom door.

Li Xiang habitually glanced at the time on his watch and asked politely:
"You want to talk alone. There should be no one in the living room at this time. Why don't we go somewhere."

He guessed that his father, Zhang Pengtian, should have gone back to the bedroom to sleep after watching his favorite TV series at this time.

Zhang Ling smiled and shook her head and said:
"No! How about we go to your room nearby?"

She has never entered Li Xiang's bedroom since she moved here.

Suddenly I became interested and wanted to take a look.

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his feet and walked towards the door of Li Xiang's bedroom.
