056 Eventful Nights Part II
Facing Luo Xi's clean and eager eyes, Zhan Yifeng pursed his lips and asked after pondering, "You really want to know?"
"Yes. Luo Xi replied simply.
"It's a boy. ”
Luo Xi still looked up, the moonlight seemed to be wrapped in a veil on her face, and the smile gradually opened up in her eyes, although it was shallow, but it was extremely gratifying.
Anyway, I know the gender of the child.
This joy is an indescribable relief, the fog and haze that have plagued my heart for many years, like being dispelled by the wind, and as if being illuminated by the bright moon.
For four years, she stumbled on the dark road, and the meaning of this answer to her was like the sudden appearance of the North Star in the sky, which gave her hope.
Zhan Yifeng looked at Luo Xi in a daze, the woman in front of him was as beautiful as a painting and like a poem.
It's just that smile, in his eyes, is a weird look.
He didn't understand how deep Luo Xi's concern was, and he couldn't understand how excited Luo Xi was at the moment.
"Brook?" he frowned, a worried look in his eyes.
How could Luo Xi not see why the other party was worried? Probably thought that he had a mental problem, right?
Hehe.
She lightly lifted her lips and expressed her gratitude: "Thank you, Feng Shao." Why don't I invite you in for a drink or two?"
"Xiaoxi, don't you still understand my mind?" Zhan Yifeng couldn't help but feel a little anxious when he saw Luo Xi like this.
"I don't dislike it because of the wind, but I ......," Luo Xi said, raising his hand and brushing the long hair in front of his forehead.
The brilliance of the diamond ring is dazzling, and the wind will not be seen.
"Are you married?" he couldn't believe it, but if it wasn't, how could he put the ring on his ring finger?
"Well, so you better stop saying things like that again. Luo Xi moved his shoulders and detached himself from his palm when Zhan Yifeng relaxed.
Zhan Yifeng subconsciously took a step back, as if to keep his distance.
His gaze lingered on Luo Xi's face, and finally asked, "Who is he?"
"No comment. Luo Xi replied with a smile, then took a breath of cold air and said, "It's a little cold, I'll go back first." ”
By the time she turned, the doorway was empty, as if no one had ever passed.
Zhan Yifeng watched Luo Xi leave, turned around to face the outside of the terrace, and slammed it on the fence, and the joints between his fingers immediately swollen to the top of the fence.
He regretfully wondered, why was he always one step late?

Luo Xi returned to the private room and didn't see Ye Man.
After asking, she learned that Ye Man had something to do with it temporarily.
She didn't think much about it, so she sent a message to Ye Man, and Ye Man replied in seconds: "I'm going to catch up with the next field, my friend invited me by phone just now." If you don't like socializing, I won't take you with you!"
"Okay, don't drink too much. Luo Xi instructed.
After she finished contacting Ye Man, she looked around again, only to find that Si Junxian and Duan Yuyuan were also gone.
Somehow, there was always a little awkward feeling, she simply shook her head, joined Jiang Lingyun's invitation, and everyone played games together.
After having a lot of fun, where is there any leisure to care about others?
Luo Xi is smart, he can get through at one point, and he is very fast, but he has pig teammates as his companions, and he doesn't drink less.
By the time the excitement was over, it was already past twelve o'clock in the morning.
The young man still had the strength to continue to make trouble, so he made an appointment to go elsewhere, but Luo Xi didn't want to toss, so he said goodbye to everyone and chose to go home by car.
"Do you think that Mr. Luo is not quite right tonight?" Cui Feifei watched Luo Xi's taxi go away and asked Jiang Lingyun in a low voice.
"No, it's just happier than usual, it's been a long time since I've seen her smile so sincerely. Jiang Lingyun was confused, with a relieved expression.
"You see, that's because you don't understand women. On the surface, the clouds are light and even happy, but in the heart he is lonely and lost, otherwise how could he go alone?" Cui Feifei said with a matter.
"Huh?" Jiang Lingyun's eyes were full of puzzlement, feeling that Cui Feifei was talking nonsense, and he waved his hand to leave.
At this time, Cui Feifei grabbed his arm, stood on tiptoe and said, "I saw it, Si always walked with Secretary Duan! Just now, Mr. Si went out, and after coming back, he didn't say anything, so he left with Secretary Duan and never came back." After that, Mr. Luo returned to the private room alone, and only then did he start drinking and playing games with everyone. ”
"You mean?" Jiang Lingyun seemed to hear the mystery.
Cui Feifei nodded meaningfully, "Men are really big pigs' trotters." ”
"Why pig's trotters?" Jiang Lingyun touched his head, obviously not knowing enough about the local culture.
"Don't ask why! Just admit it!" Cui Feifei gave him a blank look.
"But I don't think Mr. Si is that kind of man, it's that you think too much. Jiang Lingyun still doesn't plan to shake his CP position.
"I think too much, you don't know how much Mr. Si and Secretary Duan drank tonight, right? The two of them just left, can Mr. Luo feel better?" Cui Feifei interrogated without giving up.
"......" Jiang Lingyun was taken into the ditch by her, and she began to feel that something was wrong, and said with annoyance: "Why didn't you say it earlier?
"How can I have a chance to say, you can call Mr. Luo in a while and make sure she arrives home safely?" Cui Feifei advised.
"Well, that's fine. Jiang Lingyun nodded frequently, "You are still thoughtful." ”
"Of course. Cui Feifei was quite proud.
At this moment, she and Jiang Lingyun had already walked out of a distance while talking, and the other colleagues had already taken the car to the next destination.
He hurriedly waved to stop the car and went to chase the large army.

Luo Xi came out of the elevator and saw a beautiful small paper bag hanging on the door.
She and Si Junxian each had one on the door.
She opened hers and found a small card and an apple inside.
It turned out to be a Christmas Eve gift prepared by the property.
She smiled, and suddenly remembered that the gift she had prepared had not yet been delivered.
She guessed that Si Junxian was not at home, otherwise she would not have left the gift from the property outside, so she didn't even ring the doorbell.
She took out the pen from her bag and hung it on Si Junxian's door before entering the house.
Dizzy and dizzy, the floor heating room was warm, and Luo Xi walked barefoot on the floor, fluttering as if sleepwalking.
She loved the feeling, and involuntarily hummed a little tune, walked into the bathroom, and ran comfortably for a shower.
Almost fell asleep in the bathtub.
She was woken up by the pleasant ringing of the doorbell.
But who could it be so late?
Luo Xi suddenly became vigilant, wrapped a bath towel, wiped his feet on the towel, and ran out to watch the monitoring.
It turned out to be Si Junxian.
She breathed a sigh of relief and opened a crack in the door, revealing her little wet head.
Her skin was smooth and supple after just taking a bath, her cheeks were still red, and the alcohol had not yet dissipated.
Si Junxian put one hand in his trouser pocket, and the other hand held the gift bag of the fountain pen, his eyes were far away, and his voice was mellow: "Thank you, Santa Claus." ”
"Haha, you're welcome. Just came back?" Luo Xi politely said, the water in his hair was ticking.
Si Junxian's Adam's apple sank, "Well, is it convenient to chat?"
Luo Xi lowered his eyes for a moment, embarrassed to refuse, and opened the door, "Come in, wait for me for a while." ”
"Thank you. Si Junxian stepped into the door, and Luo Xi had already flashed into the bathroom.
The room is filled with a faint smell of fragrance, and under Luo Xi's dress, it pays more attention to women's aesthetic habits than before, and the overall style is no longer so tough.
A little more of a warm atmosphere.
Si Junxian came out of the elevator just now, and he didn't want to disturb Luo Xi, but when he saw the gift on the door, he couldn't help but ring the doorbell.
He naturally knew that it was rude to bother him like this, and as soon as the door opened, it was obvious that the other party was taking a bath.
But he still made an impertinent request, which was extremely inconsistent with his usual style.
He reluctantly found an explanation for himself, he did drink a lot tonight, and he did things out of proportion.
Si Junxian sat on the sofa and picked up a plush pillow next to him to study it.
The doll with a flower on its head looked stupid and cute, and Si Junxian unconsciously smiled at the doll.
Luo Xi happened to come out of the bathroom, wrapped up his hair and changed into casual clothes, and when he looked up, he saw the man sitting on the sofa with a slightly silly smile.
She was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to open the topic, after all, the sense of disobedience was too strong.
However, Si Junxian found out that she came out, and put the doll aside as if nothing had happened.
"I made flower and fruit tea, do you want a cup?" Luo Xi asked.
"Good. Si Junxian had a smile hidden in his eyes.
"Hmm. I'll serve it. Luo Xi walked towards the kitchen.
Si Junxian looked at her gait and knew that she was afraid that she had also drunk a lot of wine.
So was he drinking with Zhan Yifeng later? he couldn't help but think.
He was a little angry in his heart when he didn't intend to see Zhan Yifeng and Luo Xi's ambiguous actions outside the terrace.
That's why he didn't say goodbye and left directly with Duan Yuyuan.
Luo Xi walked over with tea sets, bent down to put them on the coffee table, and poured good tea for Si Junxian.
"What do you want to talk about?" Luo Xi sat down, and the sofa sank down.
Si Junxian took a sip of tea, and the fruity aroma was very fresh.
"It's nothing. He suddenly didn't know where to start.
Also, it came in with a hot head.
But this performance is like something unspeakable in Luo Xi's view.
She remembered the help Si Junxian gave her, so she asked intimately: "Did you encounter pressure at your aunt's side at night?" Don't worry, I will do my best to help you and fulfill the ...... between you and Anan."
When she said this, she stopped it, thinking that Si Junxian should have left with Duan Yuyuan tonight.
Her brain exploded, and the amount of information was so great that she didn't know how to react.
"Luo Xi, in fact, I'm not ......" Si Junxian suddenly wanted to explain.
Luo Xi felt that his brain's current processing speed was a little unable to keep up, so he interrupted: "You wait a minute, I'll repeat it." ”
Si Junxian swallowed the second half of the sentence and took another sip of tea.
"Actually, I don't think it's appropriate for you to do that. Luo Xi finally found a clue.
"How do you say that?" Si Junxian's gaze wandered over Luo Xi's face, curious about what she could say.
"First of all, since you love someone, you must be wholehearted, and the most important thing is not to break his heart. Luo Xi analyzed it one by one, and his smart eyes stared straight at Si Junxian without hesitation, as if he was waiting for him to affirm.
Si Jun bowed his head enviously, "Yes." ”
"Then you should be open and honest with Xiao Nan, if you don't want to say it, then I can tell him the truth alone. Also, you ......" Luo Xi felt that there were some things she couldn't say, but as a partner, if she didn't say it clearly, her future performance process would be very troublesome.
Before, she felt that Si Junxian was very affectionate, although she loved a man, but at least she was a good partner. But tonight's ambiguity between him and Duan Yuyuan, what's going on?
He showed no interest in Duan Yuyuan in front of Mrs. Si, why did he become a different person tonight?
Seeing that she hadn't followed for a long time, Si Junxian put down the teacup and said, "Luo Xi, do you think I'm a scumbag?"
Luo Xi thought to himself, it turns out that he knows it himself?!
"I didn't say it, I just thought it was inappropriate for you to do this. Luo Xi didn't say it explicitly, and it was inconvenient to say it explicitly.
"Then what should I do?" asked Si Junxian.
"It's a matter between you......" Speaking of this, Luo Xi felt that he had too much to do.
She even felt that Si Junxian was suspected of deliberately leading her to self-reflection.
"Luo Xi, I don't know how you came up with this opinion about me. Si Junxian was wording, but thinking about it, it stumped him.
Take the initiative to tell a woman that she is not G?
This is too fantastical, isn't it? And is there still a suspicion that there are no three hundred taels of silver here?
Forget it, let's change the subject.
He propped his elbows on his knees, crossed his fingers and held them lightly, looked at Luo Xi, and said, "Yu Yuan proposed to resign tonight." ”
Luo Xi's hand that was about to pour tea stopped in the air.
"How could it be?" Duan Yuyuan was so desperate for Si Junxian that she left her job? Luo Xi couldn't believe it at all.
"Yes. After we left the Sea Emperor tonight, we found a quiet place to chat. Si Junxian couldn't tell why he explained to Luo Xi so clearly.
"Oh. Luo Xi immediately understood that she really had to think too much just now.
Fortunately, I didn't say anything excessive, so I was embarrassed......
"She should be your right-hand man, right? Leave suddenly, is it okay?" Luo Xi hurriedly expressed his concern from the perspective of work.
Si Junxian groaned, "It's true that I was a little caught off guard, but no one can keep others by their side forever." ”
This sentence namelessly aroused the sad factor in Luo Xi's heart.
"It's a bit of a shame to have one less right-hand man. However, you have a reputation for talent, and you are an industry benchmark, and a lot of talent can be used for you. Luo Xi comforted.
"That's right. Isn't there one in front of you?" Si Junxian smiled faintly.
Luo Xi immediately realized, his eyes widened and said, "No, no, no, I'm burdened with a heavy responsibility, how can I run away?"
She didn't want to be an assistant.
"Okay. Si Junxian stretched out his hand, drank the tea that Luo Xi had poured newly, got up and said, "Good dream, I'll go back." ”
"Well, good night. Luo Xi stood up to give it away, and immediately saw the pen on the coffee table, so he picked it up and reminded: "Don't forget to take the gift." ”
Si Junxian was about to take it, but the phone rang.
"I'm sorry. As he spoke, he took two steps to the window and picked up the phone.
Luo Xi hung his hands and waited.
After a while, I heard Si Junxian's voice sink and ask, "What?"
“……”
"Where?"
“……”
"I'll go over now!"
Si Junxian turned around, the expression on his face was enough for Luo Xi to understand that the situation was urgent.
"What's wrong?" she couldn't help but ask.
"Xiao Nan has an accident!" Si Junxian didn't shy away from her, maybe he was really anxious, and he didn't even have the heart to hide it.
"Need help?" Luo Xi and Xiao Nan didn't know each other very well, but they had a good impression of him, so they still asked more.
Si Junxian stopped his hurried footsteps and glanced at her.
Luo Xi felt that he might be nosy and annoying, so he stopped talking.
"No thanks. After Si Junxian finished speaking, he opened the door and left.
Luo Xi was still holding a gift bag in his hand.
What the hell is going on? Can Si Junxian, who has always been calm, be so anxious?
She couldn't think of it, so she didn't think about it anymore, but went back to the bedroom to change into her pajamas and get into the quilt.
When Si Junxian was there, she was embarrassed to dress so privately.
*
The next day, Luo Xi came to the office and saw an invitation lying on the desk.
She opened it, and it turned out to be an invitation to the opening ceremony of Jiang Mengxi's solo exhibition, just this afternoon.
It seems that she really has a heart and has been thinking about it.
Although the meeting between Luo Xi and Jiang Mengxi was a little embarrassing, it was Jiang Mengxi's way of dealing with people that made Luo Xi feel that the other party was quality and educated.
However, as for whether to go or not, I'm afraid I have to ask Si Junxian what he means.
She sent a message to Si Junxian.
The other party didn't reply in time, so she put the matter aside and started working.
I didn't expect it to be good news as soon as I opened the email.
The headquarters stated that the investigation into Luo Xi's suspected illegal operations in the autumn auction was over, confirming that she had complied with the company's terms and industry regulations in the process, and cleared her of suspicion.
No wonder Celine didn't even say hello when she saw her this morning.
Luo Xi looked at the computer, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
At the same time, the landline rang, and the number was international.
This time, it was Tony, the CEO of UAC, who called.
"Luo Xi, your investigation is finally over, and I can call you without suspicion. Is everything going well?"
"It's all good, don't worry. Luo Xi replied.
"Well, I know Celine has caused you a lot of trouble when she comes back, but sometimes, I can't do anything about it. Hope you understand. Tony spoke politely.
"I understand. You don't need to worry about me, I can handle things here. Luo Xi said steadily.
"Jiayu's boss Si Junxian is an old friend of mine, does he take special care of you?" Tony asked suddenly.
Luo Xi was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, why didn't this guy say it earlier? No wonder Si Junxian was so enthusiastic about helping them!
"Yes. How else could she answer?
"Well, then you can express your gratitude to him for me first, and then I will express it myself when I get over. Tony seemed satisfied.
"Okay. Luo Xi had no choice but to agree.
After the call, Luo Xi glanced at his phone, but Si Junxian still didn't reply.
It wasn't until after lunch that I heard from the other party.
"Go ahead, I said yes last night. ”
Luo Xi immediately understood that the meaning of the second half of the sentence should be that Si Junxian and Jiang Mengxi should have said it when they had dinner at Si Mu's house last night.
"Hmm. Luo Xi didn't ask much.
Now she is in an awkward position.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Si Junxian took the initiative to pick her up.
As soon as Luo Xi got into the car, he saw Si Junxian's right hand wrapped in a bandage.
"What's wrong with your hand?" she recalled the picture of seeing Si Junxian last night, and when she drank tea, his hand was still good.
Now it seems that the injury is not light, and blood stains can be faintly seen through the white gauze.
"I got a little bit of a wound. Si Junxian said very indifferently.
Luo Xi probably guessed that it might be because of Xiao Nan.
