"Mr. Lin, what's wrong?" Xie Tao, who was sitting in the driver's seat, turned his head and asked with some concern. For a long time, Lexington had been seen by Xie Tao as an intelligent and beautiful woman who remained calm and composed no matter what happened. But now? She had seemed fine when they left, so why did she look like she had lost her soul after coming out of the Naval Academy, appearing so distracted?
"Uncle Xie, I'm fine. Please take me home," Lexington weakly waved her hand and leaned back against the seat. She didn't even remember how she had left the Naval Academy or how she found this car and got in.
Half an hour later, the black sedan stopped in front of a villa.
If Chuyang's "Harmony Villa" community was considered a high-end villa area where only the wealthy could afford to live, then the community where Lexington resided was the epitome of luxury.
This community, named "Peach Blossom Spring," covered over 1,400 acres but contained only about twenty villas, claiming to be the lowest density villa area in all of Asia.
The community was inspired by Tao Yuanming's "Peach Blossom Spring," creating an ecological living area that combined natural beauty with cultural elements, embodying both "fragrant grass and colorful fallen flowers" and "paths crisscrossing with sounds of chickens and dogs." Living in Jiangnan, one could feel detached from the mundane world. Looking at the picturesque scenery, it was easy to see that this villa could rival private gardens.
Undoubtedly, those who lived in this community were among the elite of Rongcheng, or even among the top tier in the southeastern coastal region.
Lexington's ability to reside here was due to her status. As the CEO of Tiandu Group, the largest comprehensive industrial company in southeastern coastal China, she would not have been able to afford a home in this community solely based on her annual salary of less than 20 million. However, Tiandu Group had a tradition that required all CEOs to live here because the CEO represented the identity of the group.
As soon as she got out of the car and before Lexington could steady herself, a well-dressed young man in his thirties approached her with a bouquet of vibrant roses.
In fact, even during Lexington's absence for a month, this young man named Qin Feng would wait at the gate of this villa with roses whenever he had free time. It was needless to say that he was one of Lexington's many admirers.
"Qing'er, I love you."
"Uncle Xie, you can just leave my luggage at the door," Lexington said without even looking at Qin Feng. Normally, she would refuse but would usually say it more politely; however, today she simply had no mood to deal with Qin Feng.
"Oh, alright, Ms. Lin." In fact, when Lexington opened the back door and got out, Xie Tao had already taken her luggage out of the trunk. However, he intentionally slowed down a few steps to create an opportunity for Qin Feng.
Don't get me wrong; Xie Tao wasn't doing this for any benefit from Qin Feng, and they had no relationship whatsoever. As a former soldier, Xie Tao held himself to very strict standards. The only reason he did this was for Ms. Lin's sake.
How should I put it? Although the gap in status between Xie Tao and Lexington was enormous—one was the CEO of the largest company in the southeastern coastal region, while the other was a driver for the CEO—their identities were worlds apart. Yet at times, Xie Tao genuinely regarded Ms. Lin, who was nearly the same age as his daughter, as if she were his own daughter.
And who was Qin Feng? He was someone who started from scratch at the age of twenty and managed to grow his company to a considerable scale in less than ten years. By his thirties, he had entered the ranks of top billionaires in Rongcheng. More importantly, Qin Feng was still unmarried and, according to what Xie Tao had learned, had a very good reputation—he didn't smoke, drink, gamble, or have any bad habits; he could be considered a devoted bachelor.
Indeed, Xie Tao had thoughts of bringing Lexington and Qin Feng together.
As for Lexington being married, that was something Xie Tao found difficult to address.
Over the past year, as Lexington's dedicated driver, Xie Tao had driven her to and from work countless times. Sometimes he would receive polite invitations from Lexington to visit her villa for coffee. Therefore, he was very familiar with the layout of the villa. However, he had never encountered Lexington's husband; in fact, he couldn't find any traces of him in the villa—no slippers on the shoe rack by the door or toothbrushes in the bathroom. Yes, there was nothing related to a man anywhere in the entire villa.
For a husband who hadn't returned home in a year and hadn't even written a letter to his wife, Xie Tao thought it was better not to have him around at all.
Bang!
The courtyard gate suddenly closed, followed by Lexington's cold voice coming from behind it.
"Qin Feng, how many times do I have to say it? We are not that familiar; Qing'er is not something you can call her. Please refer to me as Lin Qing or Ms. Lin from now on."
"Uncle Xie, what's wrong with Qing'er?" Qin Feng turned to ask Xie Tao, his expression showing no displeasure or hint of dejection. To be honest, he had grown accustomed to it; ever since Lexington moved in two years ago, Qin Feng had lost count of how many times he had failed. Therefore, he was not discouraged. As long as Lexington was not married, he would never stop pursuing her. Regarding the fact that Lexington was already married, Qin Feng actually knew better than Xie Tao. He had hired a private investigator to look into it, and the answer revealed that Lexington had never been married; it was merely a ruse.
"I'm not quite sure either. Ever since General Lin came out of the Naval Academy, she has been like this. But, Xiao Qin, you need to act quickly," Xie Tao said as he patted Qin Feng on the shoulder before turning to drive away.
Compared to those wealthy young men who often harassed Lexington at the company, Xie Tao undoubtedly paid more attention to Qin Feng.
Carrying her suitcase, Lexington hurried down a small path paved with bluestone into the house. She didn't even bother to change into slippers and casually placed her suitcase in the living room. Lexington took a few steps into her bedroom, threw herself onto the bed, and buried her head in the pillow as she began to cry softly.
The Admiral was missing; she couldn't even sense a trace of his presence in this world. What should she do? What could she do? As the Admiral's Wedding Ship and his wife, how was she supposed to proceed?
