Chapter 42: Playing Between the Applause
Shen Qiao's throat was tight, and suddenly her hand was warm, and when she lowered her eyes, she saw the man's big and generous hand wrapping her hand in the palm of her hand and holding it.
Ten fingers interlocked, the scorching palm temperature, scorching her.
Subconsciously wanted to pull away, but he was held tighter by him, and without more hesitation, he was pulled towards the Bentley.
Du Ruowei looked at the backs one after the other, the smile on her face was lost in an instant, staring at the backs of the two of them, vaguely jealous.
All the way, no one said a word, and the atmosphere of solitude was filled with an indescribable atmosphere.
The man drove straight to the private restaurant.
It was the first time the two of them had a formal meal, and he asked her to treat him to his private meal.
Obviously, it has only been two or three months, but Shen Qiao has a feeling of being separated from the world.
Wen Lu poured a cup of chrysanthemum tea for Shen Qiao and put it in front of her.
Shen Qiao was stunned for a moment, raised her long eyelashes slightly, and the man's slender, knotted big hand was placed on her forehead to probe her body temperature.
Shen Qiao turned his head, his voice was still a little hoarse, and he said softly, "The fever has subsided." ”
Wen Lu withdrew the hand covering her forehead, and pursed her thin lips slightly.
The private room was low-pressure and relatively speechless.
The man's slender knuckles tapped the table with a rhythmic sound. Every time it seemed to tug at Shen Qiao's heartstrings, tearing her apart, and the already tense mood became more and more tense.
Shen Qiao took a deep breath, she couldn't bear such silence, she was a person who talked a lot.
He lowered his long eyelashes and said, "Aren't you busy today?"
Wen's business spreads all over the world and penetrates all walks of life. It's a regular date, and from time to time there are phone calls and emails to find Wenlu.
Countless meetings, countless decisions.
"My girlfriend is running away, how can I still think about work?"
The man's voice was mellow and low, and when the unhurried words fell, Shen Qiao was slightly stunned, and her heart was pinched even tighter.
Shen Qiao picked up the teacup, it was still hot, she blew the hot air, pretending to be calm: "Then find another one, the next one is better." ”
"Now this is good. Wen Lu's long legs were folded, and his deep eyes looked at the little woman, serious and serious: "I'm going to be dumped in a month, the old man is frustrated, how dare he find the next one, huh?"
Shen Qiao's knuckles tightened: "Wen Lu." ”
She bit his voice and called him, and the man's index finger was pressed against her lips, and he looked at her with deep eyes: "Xiaoqiao, it's not easy for Wen to chase you, don't pour cold water on me so quickly, okay? I don't know if it's her delusion, but in these words, I heard the man's grievances.
Shen Qiao tensed her nerves, and her eyes were warm for a moment. The words in her mouth lingered, she couldn't spit out, she couldn't swallow, she choked.
At this moment, the door of the box was pried open, and the waiter rushed in with raw fish, serving food one after another.
The man retracted his movements and ruffled her sideburns behind her ears: "Eat first, don't be hungry." ”
Shen Qiao hummed, sniffed, and tried to whitewash the peace.
The dishes are ordered by Wen Lu, but they all meet Shen Qiao's taste.
There is no steamed pork ribs with soy sauce menu, which was specially added by Wenlu to the manager.
It's exquisitely made and tastes great.
Although she left Guangcheng at a very young age and stayed in Jingcheng for 16 years, she was still not used to Jingcheng's heavy dishes.
Steamed pork ribs with soy sauce is also her favourite dish.
It's just because this is what my mother is best at, and it is the deepest impression in her short and warm childhood.
Shen Qiao wanted to ask him why he ordered this dish, but when the words came to her mouth, she swallowed them again.
has decided to break up, and she doesn't want to make herself even more reluctant to listen to the law.
A table of dishes full of color and flavor, but Shen Qiao is like chewing wax.
The dish that hooked her appetite, she didn't dare to touch it.
Even if the dish was caught in the bowl by Wen Lu, she avoided it.
Like a picky eater.
The atmosphere in the private room was dreary.
After eating, when he left the private restaurant, Shen Qiao whispered, "You send me back." ”
Wen Lu looked at her, frowned slightly, and without saying a word, he took Shen Qiao's hand and led her back to the car.
The car drove out for a long time, and Shen Qiao noticed that this was not the way back to Jinghe Garden.
She turned her head to look at Wen Lu in surprise, puzzled, "Where are you taking me?"
The man calmed down and said slowly: "Scatter." ”
Trip?
Shen Qiao frowned: "I don't need ......"
"I need to. The man who was driving the car seriously looked sideways at her, and asked her for advice with his eyebrows and eyes: "Accompany me, is it okay?"
Wen Lu took her hand and wrapped it in the palm of her hand.
In the face of a man's tenderness, she couldn't tell whether she was reluctant or unbearable, and she didn't refuse again.
I thought that Wen Lu said that he was distracted, but he just went to a nearby park or lake for a walk.
Unexpectedly, Wen Lu took her directly to the airport.
Arrive by helicopter and fly to the deep city and land at the beach.
In the yacht, the sea breeze mixed with the fishy smell was blowing in her face, her long hair fluttering and agitating in the wind, and Shen Qiao was a little relieved.
Suddenly, her body was warm, the man's blazer was draped on her body, she raised her eyes, and the man was looking at her: "Don't catch a cold again." Shen Qiao's fever was just right, and the man was reluctant to let her get sick again.
It is almost twilight, the blue sky with white clouds is gradually covered with red glow, and the sunset of the west mountain is extremely beautiful, some dreamy, and it is indescribably romantic.
The man's short hair was blown by the wind, revealing a full forehead, and the deep contour of the side face became more three-dimensional and handsome, like a painting. His tall and majestic body stood beside her, like a protective god, soothing all the uneasiness in her heart.
Shen Qiao's plain white hands clasped tightly on the blazer, and the manly atmosphere made her feel at ease.
Shen Qiao lifted her long hair blown by the wind behind her ears, and was almost squinted by the romantic beauty in front of her, and her voice was very soft: "The scenery here is so beautiful. ”
Wen Lu leaned over to look at her and asked her, "Do you like it here?"
Shen Qiao stared at her eyebrows and was silent, her expression already explained everything.
She loves the sea and the warm climate.
She seemed to see the man's thoughts, and before he spoke, she changed the subject and said, "Did you bring me all the way here just to see the sea?"
Shen Qiao didn't dare to look at him, obviously he liked the scenery very much, but he still said against his will: "Wenlu, I have to go to work tomorrow, you are too boring." "Why didn't she know that this man was so willful?
The warmth and romance were also surprising to her.
He always surprises her and moves her......
"Really?" Wen Lu's long eyelashes moved slightly, Shen Qiao bit her lip, and was about to say something, when her thin waist was suddenly hugged, and her whole person was hugged into Wen Lu's arms.
The man's breath came in a hurry, Shen Qiao's heartbeat seemed to have missed half a beat, and her raised eyes were full of astonishment.
Wen Lu's other hand was withdrawn from the pocket of his trousers, supporting the back of Shen Qiao's head, and staring at her.
She pursed her lips nervously, as if she was wary of something.
Wen Lu took the little woman's expression in his eyes and said softly: "Xiaoqiao, if you don't want to tell me the reason, I won't force you." It's not easy to be in love, I'm 33 years old, not a young hairy child, and it's a little ridiculous to talk about love. It's only been a few months with you, and it's too early to say how much love you have, and there is also an element of lying to your little girl. But Shen Qiao, I need to tell you that my uncle cherishes you very much and wants to take care of you. You are young, I should take care of and tolerate you, but please also feel sorry for you, how is your boyfriend? He is not young, and he finally met the girl he wants to cherish and love, but he has been repeatedly frustrated, he will be afraid and hurt. ”
Shen Qiao's eyes were full of astonishment, and he was a little relieved by his words.
In her impression, Wen Lu is domineering, strong, and powerful, as if omnipotent, and a little machismo.
Showing weakness, timidity, and grievance, which have always been given to the weak, have never been associated with him.
But now, this powerful man is showing weakness to her, begging her not to abandon his feelings.
Shen Qiao's eyes were slightly sour, and she felt like a bastard.
Wenlu is so good, how can she be so excessive?
But......
How could she tell him that the girl he cherished and loved so much was abused and toyed with without his knowledge just two days ago, and took such an unbearable video to threaten her to break up with him?
She couldn't speak, she couldn't confess.
I don't want to deceive him.
But can he really accept the truth, and what should he think of her?
She didn't want to hurt Wen Lu, but if she had to choose between two outcomes.
She would rather break up with Wen Lu than let him know the unbearable truth.
At least then, she can still save some of the good things between the two.
Instead of letting those encounters become hurdles that neither of them can step on.
"Uncle Wen......" Shen Qiao choked, and her lips were suddenly kissed by a man......
She was stunned, almost subconsciously wanting to push the man away, and after a few struggles, she seemed to be bewitched, and sank motionless into the man's kiss.
It's greed, but it's also reluctance, and after all, he didn't push Wenlu away.
It wasn't until the phone rang that the lingering kiss was interrupted.
Shen Qiao bit her lip, turned her head, and motioned for Wen Lu to answer the phone first.
The atmosphere was delicate, Wen Lu glanced at the number of the caller, looked away from the little woman with her back to him, and pressed to answer.
......
As the night deepened, the two did not return to Jingcheng.
Stay in a hotel near the seaside.
The room was booked by Secretary Wenlu, I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, it was a double room.
When he entered the room, Shen Qiao's body stiffened, clenched his pink fist tightly, lowered his head and didn't move, as if he was in a dilemma.
It's embarrassing.
Wen Lu was also a little surprised, and noticed that the little woman's face was wrong, and he said slowly: "I'll go to ...... again to book one."
"It doesn't matter. ”
Wen Lu was stunned for a moment, Shen Qiao lowered her face and said, "If you want to take advantage of me, why wait until today." ”
After knowing each other for a few months and dating for more than a month, he already had many opportunities.
It's just that she is reserved and refuses to give herself to him so early, and he respects her so that he has not made the last step.
At this moment, Shen Qiao even hated a little, why should he be so gentlemanly and so good?
If he was worse, worse, she wouldn't be so reluctant and painful.
Wen Lu's eyebrows frowned slightly, and Shen Qiao said, "I'm a little tired, I'll sleep first." She almost didn't sleep all night last night, until she fell asleep in the morning, and was pulled by Du Ruowei to accompany her to the pregnancy test, and now she is very sleepy.
The little woman didn't look at him, took off her shoes and climbed into bed.
She was lying on her left side, the quilt barely covering her slender frame.
There was no evasion, and there was no intimidation.
It's natural to look like they've been in love for a long time.
It made Wen Lu, who should have been embarrassed, a little helpless.
After calming down, Wen Lu boiled the kettle with the hotel's kettle and called the front desk again.
Shen Qiao was absent-minded, and he didn't pay attention, silent in his thoughts.
But I couldn't help but think about who the person who ruined her was.
She had never been ill with anyone, but she suddenly suffered such an unwarranted disaster that almost destroyed her.
was also threatened with her breaking up with Wenlu.
In the past two days, Shen Qiao has been shrouded in the haze of loss and video, and the whole person is confused.
I haven't been able to think calmly about who would do such a thing to her.
But she thought that the person might have something to do with Wen Lu, or maybe it was just aimed at her.
She searched her stomach and made a list of anyone she could think of who had a motive to do so, but she still didn't have a clue.
will force her to break up with Wen Lu, either the woman who likes him, or his son Wen Xinghe.
She only knows one Jiang Xinyao in the former, but she is not familiar with Jiang Xinyao, her intuition is not like her, and she can't be sure.
Latter...... Although the figure in the video does not look like Wen Xinghe, he is too young. It cannot be ruled out that he may participate in the planning, not to mention that he has a precedent and a motive. Only she couldn't imagine that it would be the result of what he did! and vaguely felt that the young man should not be like this......
And among the people she knew, Jiang Yu shouldn't have done such a thing.
Du Ruowei's reaction today is not like ......
Li Yanchen...... It can't be his. He said that he let it go, during this time, he didn't look for her, he should really let go and live a good life with Du Ruowei......
In her heart, she is still firm, so Li Yanchen, who feels sorry for her, will not hurt her so much.
Why did the other party do this?
Is the purpose simply to force her to break up with Wenlu, or is it just a cover-up to cover up the truth?
Her thoughts were chaotic, and she still didn't have a definite result......
Powerful house.
After Du Ruowei finished lunch, asked Ah Xiu to accompany her to the garden to finish eating, and was about to go back upstairs to rest, when she ran into Li Tianchi, who had just come back from outside.
Li Tianchi grabbed the bag with both hands, and when he saw the absent-minded Du Ruowei, he squinted his eyes and walked towards her with the corners of his lips hooked: "Sister-in-law, what about a walk?"
Du Ruowei replied casually: "Take it easy." ”
"Big brother won't accompany you?"
seemed to ask casually, but Du Ruowei's face froze: "He still has some official ......."
Before he finished speaking, Li Tianchi sighed, as if he was a little helpless, sighed lightly and said, "This is just a new marriage." ”
Du Ruowei frowned fiercely, and subconsciously tightened the corners of her clothes.
Li Tianchi didn't seem to see her uncomfortable, and said with interest: "The eldest brother is just a vice president, and the uncle doesn't have as much to do as him, but he looks like a busy man." Only then did the newlyweds be willing to let go of their flowery wives...... Tsk, no wonder my dad always asked me to learn from my eldest brother. This is a country, not the skills of a beauty, I really can't learn it. ”
seemed to be smiling, like a sharp knife stabbing into Du Ruowei's heart, suppressing it, the increasingly cold and complicated eyes still betrayed her unwillingness and anger at this time.
"But it's also weird. He suddenly changed his words, pulled Du Ruowei back to his senses, and looked at him in a daze: "What do you mean?"
Li Tianchi raised his eyebrows, smiled very meaningfully, and relayed: "In the past, the eldest brother accompanied the pretty sister, but he was not so busy. Tsk, don't talk about it, let's just say a few months ago, the pretty sister is just following the company on a business trip, the water and soil are not adapted to the fever, the eldest brother is good, the big night, there is an important meeting the next day, he doesn't care, directly drove to Haicheng overnight to ask for warmth. That nervousness, to my aunt and uncle, even to my grandfather, I have never seen him so nervous. I don't know.,I thought my pretty sister was going to die.,Hurry to see her for the last time.。 Gee. ”
Jealousy was burning, Du Ruowei's face became more and more ugly, and she didn't want to imagine that her husband had held a woman in the palm of her hand, and tried her best to find an excuse for Li Yanchen: "Shen Qiao's parents died when he was a child, and he grew up with Ah Chen, as the eldest brother, he should care about her." ”
Li Tianchi mocked: "Then you don't need to take care of the bed, right?"
Du Ruowei's face changed suddenly, and she couldn't help but raise her voice: "Li Tianchi." ”
"Sister-in-law, it's boring to pretend to be stupid. Li Tianchi laughed, those sharp eyes saw through Du Ruowei at a glance.
He lifted his chin lightly, and said casually, "I'm not the little fool of my pretty sister. "I think I'm trying to make things right.
As everyone knows, he was treated as a fool by everyone, and he played with it wantonly.
Think about it, Li Tianchi still sympathizes with her.
As for Du Ruowei......
Li Yanchen sneered lightly: "I won't disturb your sister-in-law for a walk." He shrugged, turned and went upstairs.
Du Ruowei's face was gloomy, her eyes were gradually gloomy, filled with jealousy, burning with raging fire, clenched pink fists, and her nails were almost embedded in her palms. She slammed the wall to the side, suppressed her anger, and went upstairs to her room in hatred.
Master bedroom for husband and wife.
The door closed, and when she saw Li Yanchen who was busy at the desk, she bit her lip, squeezed out a smile, and pretended to be calm and walked towards Li Yanchen: "Ah Chen, what are you busy with?"
Li Yanchen's long legs were folded, he raised his eyelids and glanced at her, the square pen in his hand was put down, he leaned back, and explained to her rarely: "The project of Greentown construction will be bid next week, and the plan has not been done yet, I am changing it." ”
Du Ruowei saw that his computer was on, walked behind him and looked at it, and it was indeed some documents displayed.
"Can't you just let Jiang Cheng and them change it, why do you want to ...... it yourself?"
"Let them come, I'm not at ease. Li Yanchen tapped his long fingers on the table, raised his eyebrows and said, "What's the matter?"
After a pause, the man pondered: "Still angry, I didn't accompany you to the pregnancy test?" Ruowei, you know, I'm really busy." Now that we're in the third quarter, I have to show good results, otherwise those old things will have to have opinions again. ”
Li Yanchen was only twenty-six years old, and he almost sat in the same position as Li Tianchi's father, and Mr. Li also handed over Huahai, which had just been acquired this year, to him to take care of it.
This is a test for Li Yanchen, and it is also a crucial node for him to ascend to the top.
At the same time, Mr. Li's decision-making also led to the second-room faction, and the shareholders who supported Li Tianchi's father and son were very dissatisfied.
If he doesn't come up with decent and brilliant results, it is inevitable that at this year's shareholders' meeting, those old things won't do things. At the same time, Li Yanchen's recent radicalism has also caused his father Li Jun to be a little dissatisfied, and he is faintly unhappy with his momentum as a son to catch up with him, and he is afraid that he will not be able to suppress Li Yanchen.
Although Li Jun is his father, he is more inclined to put himself on the throne than to let his son take the throne, take over the position of the old man Li, and become the head of the family, rather than the father of the head of the family.
After all, no matter how close the family affection is, it is not as solid as holding the power in your own hands.
Although Du Ruowei didn't join the company and didn't know much about the factional struggle of the Li family, she had heard some from her parents, and she knew Li Yanchen's situation now.
Can......!
If it was really just for the company, she would have endured it.
But Li Yanchen, is he? He clearly just doesn't care and doesn't want to deal with her!
In just a few tens of seconds, Du Ruowei's thoughts turned around, she said: "I know you are very busy, but I am your wife, we have just gotten married, and you are so inattentive to our mother and son......"
Before she finished speaking, the man suddenly grabbed her arm, and with a little force, Du Ruowei fell into Li Yanchen's arms, the man's slender big hand wrapped around her waist, his hand covered her bulging belly, the hot breath sprayed on her ear, and the low voice was low and magnetic: "It's my negligence, next time I'll accompany you, don't be angry?"
The man's sudden gentleness, Du Ruowei was stunned, and her cheeks were slightly red: "Really?"
Li Yanchen bowed his head, and his smile was evil and charming: "What are you lying to do?"
Du Ruowei's face softened a lot, hugged Li Yanchen's neck, and snuggled up to his chest.
As if thinking of something, she said again: "By the way, husband, let me tell you something, don't get excited, you definitely didn't expect it." ”
Li Yanchen raised an eyebrow, stared at her, and wondered: "What's the matter?"
Du Ruowei said with a smile: "Qiaoqiao accompanied me to the pregnancy test today, and I found out that Xiao Nizi was secretly in love." "Isn't it surprising? I always thought that she didn't fall in love, because she was too ambitious, career-oriented, but I didn't expect that she secretly fell in love behind our backs, and she never said it. Who knows, she's a ghost. ”
"Yes. ”
"I saw it with my own eyes, she admitted it herself, can I lie to you?" Du Ruowei seemed to be dissatisfied with his suspicions, observing the man's expression, she blinked her eyes, and deliberately said: "Guess, who is she in love with?" ”
Can't guess?
Li Yanchen suppressed the yin owl in his eyes without a trace, the corners of his lips were hooked with a smile, and his slender fingers grabbed Du Ruowei's jaw and lifted: "Smell the law?"
Du Ruowei trembled, shocked by the chill on his handsome face, and the smile on his face froze for a moment.
"Ah Chen......"
Li Yanchen chuckled and approached her: "I guessed, is there a reward?"
Du Ruowei's throat was tight, as if she was blocked by something. Clenched tightly in the pink fist, that beautiful face, full of pale.
"Why is your face so bad? Are you tired? Let's go rest first. Li Yanchen raised his hand and stroked the top of her hair, motioning for her to get up. The smiling face was indifferent and cold, and there was no trace of gentleness.
She pursed her lips and wanted to say something, but she saw the man's long fingers in the corners of his forehead, and he continued to look through the documents, not even giving her a superfluous look, she was unwilling, and could only swallow the words with hatred.
The eye sockets were slightly sour, and he was aggrieved.
She couldn't see through Li Yanchen at all, and she couldn't guess what he was thinking or what he wanted to do.
Uneasiness, which enveloped Du Ruowei, turned around and went into the bathroom in resentment.
This time, the man who worked hard, but his lips hooked up a touch of coldness and disdain, and he sneered: "Do you smell the law?"
Even if it's him, Shen Qiao is his, and no one wants to snatch it!
......
Shen Qiao's heart was extremely uneasy, fear was like a beast that was gradually growing, devouring her, and the whole person was confused.
In the dark night, it seemed that there were hands tearing her and possessing her fiercely, she was very frightened, desperately begging, but he was like a ghost, refusing to let her go.
She's so scared, so scared......
"Don't ......" Shen Qiao struggled hard, trying to push away the man who couldn't see his face clearly, screaming from his dream......
"Xiaoqiao?" The mellow and gentle voice raised in her ears, Shen Qiao raised her eyes suddenly, and the eyes were Wen Lu's handsome face, her empty pupils were dull for a moment, and she threw herself into his majestic arms, like a child who had been wronged, hugging the man tightly, and choking in a hoarse voice: "Uncle Wen." ”
"What's wrong?" Wen Lu put his hand on the back of the little woman in his arms, and his eyebrows were furrowed into a Sichuan character.
In the dream, Shen Qiao kept shouting no, begging the other party to let her go.
What the hell is going on?
Is it related to her recent anomaly?
The little woman was terrified, like a frightened little white rabbit, and only hugged him tightly.
The man's slightly moving phoenix eyes were full of distress, and he calmed his breath and called her pityingly: "Qiao'er." ”
Shen Qiao's head was muddy, her breathing was rapid, her chest was heaving, and she was tense tightly.
I don't know how long it took, Shen Qiao's thoughts returned a few points, and she bit her lower lip: "I'm sorry, I had a nightmare." She looked up and tried to squeeze out a smile: "Didn't scare you, did you?"
Seeing that the man didn't say a word, just staring at her, Shen Qiao's half-held pink fist grabbed the quilt on the side, and pretended to be calm: "What time is it? Why did I fall asleep so quickly." ”
"It's twelve. ”
Twelve o'clock? Has she slept that long?
"Sleep again. ”
Shen Qiao bit the corner of her lip and didn't say a word, her pale little face was almost bloody, as if she was frightened by the dream just now.
What the hell was she dreaming about?
Knowing that this little woman would not be willing to tell the truth, Wen Lu didn't ask, but said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." ”
The man's magnetic voice was extremely low, and in this quiet night, it was as seductive as rosemary, and it was inexplicably convincing and sunk into it.
The shoulders were held by the man and lay down, and Shen Qiao tightened her body and nestled in his arms.
Sniffing the man's breath, she was both greedy and panicked.
After I don't know how long, the chaotic head suddenly had a strange thought, Shen Qiao raised her head and looked at the man's thin, rose-colored thin lips, throat tight, she couldn't help swallowing her saliva, and dared to approach him......
Noticing the little woman's hot and earnest gaze, Wen Lu was stunned, and before he could react, Shen Qiao held his face and kissed him......
