Chapter 1159 1157: More Worthy of Respect
Lin Xi suddenly started to fall.
Su Chen was startled.
He hurriedly supported Lin Xi's waist with force.
This avoided Lin Xi from falling.
Just like the scenes often shown in TV dramas.
The male lead saves the female lead from falling, and the two gaze lovingly into each other's eyes.
After all, Lin Xi is a stunning beauty.
Moreover, after a night's rest and with Su Chen infusing her with some Inner Strength,
along with her exquisite makeup,
her mood seemed not as gloomy anymore.
In contrast with Lin Xi from yesterday,
she was absolutely glowing.
In a scene like this, if nothing happens, it would be a waste of such a good morning.
Su Chen lowered his head and leaned towards Lin Xi.
However, at that moment, Lin Xi suddenly said, "Quick, tell me I've worked hard."
Su Chen's body stiffened, but he obliged.
He said gently, "Honey, you've worked hard."
"Exactly, just like that, remember your current expression and gaze." Lin Xi said happily.
In recent days, she had received thousands of photos.
These photos came through various channels.
From friends, from detective agencies, and also from Yimena's employees.
But none of the eyes made her feel they resembled the ones Lin Lu was looking for.
Unexpectedly, the gentle gaze that Su Chen accidentally revealed,
made her suddenly realize that this gaze was at least 70% similar to the one in Lin Lu's sketch.
Just like the saying, you search high and low only to find it effortlessly.
Although she wasn't sure Su Chen was the person Lin Lu was looking for,
at least, it gave her some hope.
"Honey, you're not thinking that I am the owner of those eyes, are you?" Su Chen guessed the reason for Lin Xi's happiness.
Maybe she thought he was the owner of the eyes.
But if those eyes were his, wouldn't he recognize them?
"Quick, come with me!" It was the only hope, whether or not, she had to try.
Helpless, Su Chen had no choice but to follow Lin Xi, sitting in Lin Xi's Maserati.
They arrived at a hotel.
"Wait in the car for me, I'll notify you when it's time to come up," Lin Xi said to Su Chen.
"Ahem, honey, you're making me feel like this is a honey trap…" Su Chen said weakly.
Isn't it? The woman goes into the hotel first, and then the man waits outside for her signal.
Ready to go in any time.
This scenario is at least 90% similar to a honey trap.
However, Lin Xi was not setting him up.
After all, with her status, who could she possibly lure into such a trap?
"Honey trap, my foot!" Lin Xi's mouth twitched at his words.
This rascal, nothing but nonsense.
"Don't leave, remember when I call you, you come up immediately!" Lin Xi instructed Su Chen, then directly walked into the hotel.
Su Chen obediently waited in the car.
He didn't know who Lin Xi was going to meet, a man or a woman.
Anyway, Lin Xi would notify him when it was time to go up.
If there was no notification.
He would sneak up.
What if the person was a scoundrel?
What if they tried to take advantage of his wife?
Since they were at a hotel after all.
Lin Xi arrived at the hotel where Lin Lu was staying.
To her surprise, Lin Lu hadn't changed hotels.
Lin Xi was a smart person.
She didn't let Su Chen go up with her.
She feared Lin Lu might change her mind.
After all, Lin Lu was the one who initially set this condition.
Perhaps she herself didn't expect Lin Xi to actually find the owner of the eyes.
She wanted Lin Lu to confirm that if she found the owner of the eyes, she would use Yimena's performance costume and endorse Yimena!
This time, she was confident.
Because Su Chen's gaze was so much like the one in Lin Lu's photo.
Upon confirming the gaze, he was definitely the person Lin Lu was searching for.
Knock, knock, knock.
The door was knocked on.
It was opened.
It was still Lin Lu's agent, Yan Ling.
Before opening the door, Yan Ling had already confirmed the identity of the visitor through the peephole.
After all, something like that had happened before.
Everything needed to be cautious and careful.
"I want to see Lin Lu," Lin Xi said excitedly.
"I feel there's no need for you to see Lin Lu," Yan Ling replied flatly.
"I found…"
"Oh? What did you find? Found the owner of the eyes?" Yan Ling teased.
Lin Xi nodded, "Yes."
Yan Ling smiled, said, "Even if you've found the owner of the eyes, Lin Lu has no need to see you."
"This…" Lin Xi was dumbfounded and didn't understand the situation, she asked, "Why, why?"
"Because we already know who the owner of the eyes is," Yan Ling answered.
We already know who the owner of the eyes is!
Lin Xi was stunned.
"Are you sure that person is truly the owner of the eyes? Would you like to see the person I brought?" Moments later, Lin Xi said reluctantly.
She thought heaven had favored her.
Letting her truly find the owner of the eyes.
But unexpectedly.
Lin Lu had found the owner of the eyes in advance.
Doesn't that mean all her efforts were in vain?
No, she wanted Lin Lu to take a look.
Perhaps the person Lin Lu found was wrong.
"No need, we're absolutely sure," Yan Ling said bluntly.
Most certainly and absolutely sure…
Even Lin Xi couldn't be sure that Su Chen was the person Lin Lu was looking for.
It seems the other party truly found them…
"Ms. Lin, is there anything else?" Yan Ling asked calmly.
"N-no…" Lin Xi said with a lost soul.
"Then, see you if we have the chance. I have an important guest to attend to," Yan Ling said with a smile.
Lin Xi turned and walked out like a puppet.
Unexpectedly, she still failed.
Why, why did this happen?
Why did Lin Lu find her so quickly?
Why wouldn't heaven give me a chance?
She just wanted to earn enough money to redeem her freedom.
So she could stand tall and proud and be with Su Chen…
But reality crushed all her dreams.
Su Chen indeed knew Lin Xi well.
Lin Xi was a very strong and prideful girl.
After all, she was already married to Su Chen.
Su Chen respected her.
He never made any unreasonable requests of her.
Moreover, he truly loved her.
He cared for her, loved her.
Even though he often didn't come home,
But after that island drift, Lin Xi knew he was a man willing to use his life to protect her.
So, there was no need to earn that exact amount.
But, Miss Lin insisted on redeeming her freedom.
As Su Chen would say,
she had spirit.
However, this only made Su Chen love Lin Xi even more.
Because a woman with pride is often more deserving of respect.
