After being reborn, I refused to be a sucker, and my whole family was dumbfounded.

Chapter 223

He found his phone, which he had already turned off, hidden in the sofa cushions.

At this moment, he can only find a sense of existence through his phone.

To prove that I haven't been abandoned by the world.

But as soon as I turned on my phone, a smooth beeping sound rang out.

thump thump...

Countless missed calls, countless unread chats, countless text messages.

But after a quick glance, I didn't find the message I wanted.

Lin Ling threw her phone aside in frustration, her well-defined knuckles covering her face helplessly.

After Yang Mengyu was taken away, was she unable to even send herself a message?

Does she know how much she misses her?

After a moment of silence, he looked helplessly out the floor-to-ceiling window.

She probably wanted to message him too, but for some reason, she couldn't contact him.

It's probably because the Yang family is putting a lot of pressure on her.

He opened the refrigerator door, looked at the few remaining ingredients, and simply stir-fried a dish.

Then I cooked some noodles, intending to make do with that.

As he watched the food left by Yang Mengyu dwindle, it was as if Yang Mengyu was drifting further and further away from him.

Lin Ling sighed.

It's true that we only learn to cherish things when we lose them.

Just then, the doorbell rang urgently.

A smile flashed in Lin Ling's eyes.

Not many people know where I live.

Anyone who's coming to see me now is obviously who they are.

When I opened the door, Li Qitian, wearing a vest and shorts, was standing in front of me with a smile on his face: "You're really something, kid. I called you so many times and you didn't answer."

Do you know how anxious your people are right now?

"Never mind them for now." Lin Ling smiled. "You have such a keen sense of smell; you came here as soon as the food was ready."

"If I have a dog's nose, then you're a dog's son." Li Qitian laughed and scolded, "Come on, let me see what good food you're eating."

He walked over to the table on the terrace and glanced at it.

A bowl of boiled noodles and a plate of green peppers and sliced ​​meat.

A hint of pity flashed in his eyes, but he still laughed and scolded, "You're eating so poorly, are you on a diet?"

"If everyone knew that Mr. Lin, the CEO of a multi-billion dollar conglomerate, ate such a vegetarian diet, they probably wouldn't believe it, would they?"

"At the very least, order some private chef's dishes."

“Ancient farmers probably thought emperors used golden hoes to till the land.” Lin Ling shook his head and smiled, taking four bottles of DuvoLite from the refrigerator and placing them on the dining table: “Want some beer?”

"That's worse than drinking water." Li Qitian curled his lip. "Duwei, isn't that just horse pee?"

"How could President Lin, a man of such stature, lower himself like this?"

"It'll do." Lin Ling shook his head and smiled. "You old farmer, do you really think the emperor uses a golden hoe?"

"Have a drink, have a drink." Li Qitian casually picked up the phone and ordered, "Boss, the usual, eight dishes, bring them over..."

After saying that, he hung up the phone and shook his head, saying, "Look how poor you are, you can't even afford four dishes for a meal."

"I'll get you some food that rich people eat."

Lin Ling couldn't help but smile.

Even I'm tired of the most luxurious Zui Xian Ge restaurant in Nanzhou.

On the contrary, Li Qitian ate rather simply.

"Look how smug you are," Lin Ling couldn't help but laugh. "You've just become the director and you're already eating such lavish meals? You want to die?"

“Then it must be a feast of fish and meat.” Li Qitian laughed heartily: “How can we do justice to Kong Lingzhao, who is sitting in prison, if we don’t eat until our mouths are greasy?”

"We brothers should go visit them in jail when we have time."

"Otherwise, in another three months, we won't see them anymore."

"I have to say, you're really something, you've overcome two tough challenges in a row."

"I'm afraid that from now on, no one in the entire Southern Prefecture will dare to provoke you."

"Not necessarily." Lin Ling shook his head: "My strength is still not enough in Nanzhou."

"But who would want to mess with a jinx like you?" Li Qitian tilted his head back and drank it down: "Bottoms up."

Lin Ling looked at the wine dripping down his collar, shook her head and laughed, "You've probably spilled half of it, haven't you?"

"No wonder he's a seasoned veteran in the police force; he's really good at evading alcohol."

Li Qitian scratched his head and chuckled sheepishly, "It's an occupational hazard, an occupational hazard. If I spill even a drop of the next cup, I'll be your grandson."

The food was delivered to our door shortly afterward.

After a few rounds of drinks, the two finally got to the point.

"You'd better pull yourself together, kid. I was worried sick about you for a whole day and night without hearing from you." Li Qitian shook his head and smiled. "I was really afraid that you would be like before, unable to live without a woman."

"No." Lin Ling shook his head, teasingly adding, "Didn't you think the same thing back at the police station?"

"You ended up being made a fool of by me, and you were almost in tears."
