I hide the white roses behind me

Chapter 251: Iron Wall
Sometimes, we may not understand what we want for a while.

However, we must know what we don't want.

"Um... I don't think Lin Jun can be blamed for this, right?"

Sitting in the porch of her own courtyard, Uesugi Maaya gently pushed her daughter's rocking crib, looked at the giggling little girl with a smile, and then carefully chose her words while talking to her close schoolmate through the headphones.

"I know, I know it has nothing to do with him."

In the headphones, Ming Jingnan's voice was clear and calm, without any emotional undertones.

"So, why are you angry with Lin Jun?"

In a tone that was almost like coaxing her daughter, Mayaya Uesugi suddenly had an idea and let go of the rocking bed. She picked up one of her daughter's dolls and threw it to her husband who was drinking tea and basking in the sun, reminding him to look after their daughter.

"He didn't do anything wrong. I shouldn't be angry with him. He..."

Mingjing Nan's voice remained calm, but gradually became quieter. It did not stop abruptly, but slowly ended without a word.

Without saying anything or urging, Uesugi Maaya left the rocking bed, walked to the other side, and listened carefully to the movement in the headphones.

Seeing that Lin Zengxian's "small company" was being run in a decent manner by Manager Song, who was brought over from Putuo Shipping by Lin Zengxian, the Uesugi family not only contributed manpower and effort, but also opened their accounts and invested some money, looking forward to the days of counting money in the future.

Therefore, the Uesugi couple, who already cared about their close friend, became even more concerned about Lin Zengxian's affairs.

The conflict between these two allies could be a big or small matter, especially since Lin Zengxian did not feel that there was a conflict, but it seemed that Ming Jingnan was unilaterally wrong.

"Has Sumitomo Motonobu contacted you recently?"

After taking a look at her husband who was standing next to the rocking bed and making eyes at her, Uesugi Maaya immediately understood and decided to ask herself.

"We have never lost contact. Whenever I have an event, he will send me a message. If it is an important event or a day off, he will also send me a small, inexpensive gift for me to accept."

Uesugi Maaya is a person who is very good at observing people's words and expressions. Except for Uesugi Natsuhiko who turned into a fox, she can always tell the difference. But at the moment, Mingjing Nan is not around, so Uesugi Maaya can only try to figure out some information from the voice.

However, she was very familiar with Ming Jingnan. This guy had always been calm since they met, and it was hard to guess what he was like just by his voice.

Just like right now, apart from the indescribable calmness, Uesugi Maaya couldn't hear anything else.

"So do you want to get along with him?"

Uesugi Maaya admitted from the bottom of her heart that she was not as smart as her husband, so when she said this and saw her husband holding his forehead with his hand, she had no choice but to roll her eyes like a dead duck, knowing that she had said the wrong thing.

This does not conflict with her ability to read people's expressions. Facts have proved that after staying with Uesugi Natsuhiko for a long time, except for Naoes Nobuyuki, everyone else's intelligence will decrease to some extent intermittently.

There is no other reason. If you are unsure about something, just ask Xia Yan.

"Actually, are you trying to ask me if I have feelings for Lin-kun that are more than just friends? That's why I got emotional when he said that, even though Sumitomo-kun is gentle and caring to me."

Mingjing Nan was quite direct. She didn't be polite to Uesugi Maaya, nor did she hide anything or feel embarrassed. Her tone was no different from usual.

"Alas, since I got married... No, since I had a child, I may have become fond of taking care of these things, right? Especially for Lin Jun, he is a close friend of Xia Yan and me."

With a sigh, Uesugi Maaya began to feel a little depressed, and even her eyes and brows seemed to lack energy.

Neither did she really help Lin Zengxian during his most difficult time, nor did she get to see Hanyu Airi for the last time. This left Maya Uesugi, who had always been friends with these two people, with a knot in her heart.

She felt that Hanyu Airi would be watching them from the sky, so as close friends, she and Uesugi Natsuhiko must do something, not just do something. "I understand what you and Uesugi-kun are thinking, and I don't mean to refute you. He is indeed a charming man, but just liking him is not enough to make me so emotional."

Is there something behind Mingjing Nan's words?
Uesugi Maaya's eyes rolled around and her heart suddenly began to churn.

Could it be that Lin has a different opinion of Mitsui OSK Lines now?

Or did he secretly contact Sumitomo Electric and even reach some kind of cooperation?
"In fact, I am very grateful to Mr. Lin. Our cooperation has not only helped my father improve his status in the family, but also helped me, increasing the possibility of me saying no to certain things. You know I never want to be manipulated... I trust him very much. This is the first time I have tried to trust an outsider so much."

When Mingjing Nan said this, Uesugi Mayaya finally heard a slight change in her excited tone.

Although Uesugi Mayaya was certain that Ming Jingnan was hiding something and did not say everything, it was enough for her to understand.

Even though she didn't know about the "falling from the sky" incident or the rescue in the mall... as Lin Zengxian's close friend for many years, she knew how likable this guy was.

Especially, even people like Naoesuke who don't like gossip have heard of the Andalusian beauty named Beatrice, who is very concerned about Dr. Lin.

"But this time, I realized that the importance of each other in our hearts was not equal. This sudden psychological gap made me unable to control my emotions at the time."

The slightly excited tone returned to calm, and then to a low voice, and Ming Jingnan gradually stopped talking.

"I'm not just trusting him, not just trusting him because I need to, but I want to trust him from the bottom of my heart."

In the adult world, doing and thinking are often two different things.

"do you understand?"

Therefore, it is a rare thing to reach an agreement between what you do and what you want.

Blinking her eyelashes, opening her eyes wide, and looking at her husband with an innocent look, Uesugi Mayaya didn't know whether she should be happy or not.

At present, the development of the "plot" is moving in the direction that I had imagined before.

Although Lin Zengxian has been like an iron wall over the years, it does not prevent him from being a likable guy.

This stubborn schoolmate who insisted on becoming an idol developed a sense of trust in "Dr. Lin" in a foreign country.

But what is this about the Sumitomo family?
Wouldn't this make "Lin Tiebi", who already had no ideas, even more clueless?
Uesugi Maaya doesn't think that Mingjing Nan would want Lin Zengxian to stage a "hero saves the beauty" drama to help her escape the marriage arranged by her family.

Because Lin Zengxian is far from having that kind of strength at the moment.

Even Lin Yishan can't do it.

What Mingjing Nan wanted was just the stance and attitude between friends.

However, this thing is very mysterious.

What kind of position and attitude is enough?

Looking at the leisurely clouds in the sky and sitting in the dry landscape garden carefully designed by her husband, Uesugi Maaya sighed silently.

Then, he cursed Lin Zengxian in Chinese in his heart.

Can you please not be so stubborn?
