The Abstinence Doctor with Mysophobia (1V1)

Chapter 31: Do you like me?

Chapter 31: Do you like me?

The magnificent banquet hall, the elegant and comfortable private rooms, the waiters dressed in exquisite clothes diligently pouring water and tea for the guests, and the delicious delicacies from the mountains and the sea, all show the noble status and position of the host.
    Rather than saying that this is a banquet to welcome Song's father back to China, it is better to say that it is an excellent place for business cooperation. Some people present were already talking about "cooperation", and some even brought their daughters to introduce to a young tycoon.
    Lin An did not belong to this circle, so naturally she could not find a familiar face to talk to. She sat in the lounge area by herself, tasting the delicious dessert.
    The dessert melted in her mouth and left a lingering fragrance on her lips and teeth. She couldn't help but eat two more bites, and her nervous mood was much better.
    However, she didn't pay attention to others, but someone came to her. It was not because of her appearance, but because she was the female companion standing next to Song Chengran.
    Not many people knew about Lin An and Song Chengran's marriage, and at this time many people were speculating about her relationship with Song Chengran. There were a few brave people who came forward to ask Lin An whose daughter she was, and asked her tactfully what her relationship with Song Chengran was.
    Fortunately, Lin An was smart at this time, and just laughed to cleverly avoid the answer.
    How could she be a daughter of a rich family? Her parents run a grocery store. She was still a little disappointed, but she was luckier than most people present because she had a good husband.
    The atmosphere in the banquet hall was too gorgeous and hypocritical, so Lin An walked out to the garden to get some fresh air. A fresh smell of green pine greeted her, which was very pleasant.
    The night was quiet like fog, and the brilliant and bright lights made this floor in the middle of the green lawn particularly dazzling. The guests in the banquet hall could be vaguely seen.
    Lin An walked to a darker place in the distance. When she could no longer see those people, she sat on the steps of the fountain and rubbed her sore wrists. The toes of her high heels also hurt a little, but it was inconvenient to take off her shoes, so she had to stretch her legs slightly to relax.
    I feel a little lonely.
    Lin An sighed quietly. She didn't know where Song Chengran and Song's father had gone. She didn't have a place to put her phone. She was afraid that Song Chengran wouldn't be able to contact her later, so she thought about sitting for
    a while and then going back to the banquet hall. Unexpectedly, as soon as she moved, she heard an angry male voice: "Song Chengran!"
    Lin An was a little surprised. She looked up and found that the voice came from a room on the second floor.
    It sounded like Song's father, so Chengran was here too? It's not good to eavesdrop on people talking in the dark. Lin An thought about it and decided to leave.
    "What's your wife's background, what's her family background, is there anything you can use? Did you get married without thinking about these things clearly?"
    Song's father seemed to have walked to the balcony, and his voice was more clearly transmitted to Lin An's ears. Her heart suddenly skipped a beat, and her steps stopped abruptly.
    And the next words were also transmitted without omission.
    "Grandma is old and her mind is not clear enough. Are you as confused as grandma?"
    "You think we business people are powerful, but you should at least think about your own future. What's the point of finding a nurse who has no power? Except for the dean's daughter, no one else can be considered!"
    "I really don't like her at all..."
    ...
    Lin An's body was shaking, his lips were trembling, and his legs were heavy and he couldn't move. The room seemed to be silent, so quiet that only the gentle wind in the yard could be heard.
    Lin An didn't understand how this banquet would become her final game. It turned out that Song's father didn't like her, he didn't like her at all, and it was very obvious when they met just now.
    Maybe she shouldn't have asked Song Chengran to stay just now. Now, she has shot herself in the foot.
    Lin An looked down at the edge of her white skirt and suddenly felt a little funny. What about Song Chengran? What was his reaction? Would he stand on her side?
    But Lin An didn't hear Song Chengran's answer. When he looked up, he could only see the light coming out of the balcony. He couldn't see the person or his expression.
    Or was it acquiescence?
    She recalled Song Chengran's cold attitude in recent days. In order to attract Song Chengran's attention, she deliberately played music beside him while he was writing a report in the study. She thought she would be stopped angrily, but Song Chengran just took the books and materials and turned calmly to the bedroom.
    Oh no, it was she who disturbed Song Chengran when he was busy, so why should she be hypocritical?
    But... there were many things that he didn't care about. Just like boiling a frog in warm water, slowly wearing away her initial expectations and patience.
    Many negative emotions kept pouring out, and she couldn't hold them back at all. Lin An felt that she was like a middle-aged woman entering menopause, sensitive and anxious, and the slightest thing about Song Chengran could make her mood change.
    "Find a date to get divorced... I just introduced their daughters to a few friends, they are both well-educated and good-looking..." Song's father's voice came again intermittently.
    "..." Lin An bit her lip, couldn't listen to another word, turned around and ran towards the banquet hall.
    Soon, Song Chengran also came out of the room and stood on the balcony, his tall body shining in the night. He didn't want to have too much contact with Song Ze, and he felt it was ironic after listening to that long speech.
    The cool wind froze his black hair, leaving interlaced black shadows between his eyebrows, faintly covering the turbulent waves under his calm eyes.
    "She's fine."
    He just said three words without any context, but Song Ze understood his position at once.
    Song Ze almost got angry all of a sudden, "We haven't seen each other for so long, and you are still as stubborn as when you were young! Business marriage is only temporary, and after it benefits you, you will..."
    Song Chengran raised his eyes slightly, and his long eyebrows under his black hair almost reached his temples, making him look more handsome. His eyes were sharp and deep, and with a cold smile, he asked back: "Just like you and your mother?"
    Hearing this, Song Ze widened his eyes in shock.
    Song Chengran didn't want to stay here at all, and walked out of the room the next moment. When he returned to the banquet hall, he found Lin An sitting alone in the lounge area, waiting for him with her head down.
    Lin An noticed someone approaching her, and looked up to see Song Chengran looking at her calmly. When his eyes touched Lin An's slightly red eyes, he frowned unhappily, "What's wrong?"
    Lin An rubbed her eyes in surprise, lowered her head so that he didn't want to see, "It's okay, the wind is too strong and it blew my eyes."
    Song Chengran didn't ask her why she was blown by the wind in the banquet hall, but took her away from here and went to the underground parking lot to get the car.
    Along the way, neither of them spoke.
    Lin An was a little lonely, but tried to act like usual, not wanting Song Chengran to find out something unusual. But in fact, Song Chengran wouldn't notice it either.
    He walked in front, and he seemed to be completely unaware of her emotions. If she didn't catch up, he would walk slowly one step ahead of her, without looking back, but she could vaguely feel that he was avoiding contact with her.
    Lin An gritted his teeth silently. Did he agree with what Song's father said?
    The car disappeared into the traffic. The two people in the car were thoughtful. They were still as delicate as when they came, but their moods were completely different.
    Song Chengran's emotions were never revealed, and he didn't say what he talked about with Song's father. Lin An didn't know what he was thinking, so she could only guess randomly in her heart.
    Even when they got home, Song Chengran still didn't speak, probably he wouldn't mention it. But for Lin An, who had no intention of getting these secrets, he really couldn't hide his anxious mood.
    "Chengran." She called him.
    There was no light in the car, and Song Chengran's face was hidden in the dark, but she knew he was turning around to look at her, not urging her, and calmly waiting for her next words.
    He didn't care, so he wouldn't be anxious.
    The sour and swollen feeling just now almost immediately swept over Lin An again. She swallowed her saliva and slowly spoke.
    "Do you like me?"
