Chapter 20: So Gentle
During the entire process from the 60th floor of Zhenzhong Building to the parking lot, Cen Bowen did not let go of Zhuo Jiali's hand, allowing the witnesses passing by to whisper to each other in horror.
Zhuo Jiali was stared at by others and her scalp was numb, and Cen Bowen's hand couldn't be shaken off, so she had to lower her head and cover her face with her bag, it didn't matter if people could see her or not, so she didn't have to see other people's weird eyes.
Zhuo Jiali covered it up like this, Cen Bowen was not happy, thinking to himself, do you still think that Young Master Ben has lost your person?
Zhuo Jiali tried several times to snatch her things back, but was stopped by Cen Bowen, and finally had to bury her head in his sleeve. This posture Cen Bowen was quite satisfied, so he let Zhuo Jiali play to his heart's content.
Cen Bowen took Zhuo Jiali to the parking lot, locked her with her bag in the passenger seat with a seat belt, and personally drove her to the door of the house, which was still in a daze.
In the cracks of the slightly open car window, a few cool breezes mixed with the smell of neighborhood food rolled into the car, and Zhuo Jiali finally returned to her soul.
"Why are you sending me back?"
"Get out of the car! I'm hungry, hurry up and make something for me to eat." ”
Without waiting for Zhuo Jiali to reply, Cen Bowen got out of the car with a wicked smile. Zhuo Jiali hurriedly chased down the car.
"Hey, if you want to eat, there are more restaurants outside, or more people who want to cook for you, why did you come to my house without my permission?"
Cen Bowen was a little helpless by the chatter, and he didn't bother to refute and explain, so he turned around and stretched out his hands, accurately stuck Zhuo Jiali between him and the car door. He lowered his head, almost against Zhuo Jiali's forehead.
"I saved you today, aren't you going to do something to repay me?"
Zhuo Jiali raised her eyes to meet the eyes that were staring at her, and immediately looked away like an electric shock, not daring to stay on his face for another second.
"I didn't ask you to save me, it's not that you're meddling in your own business. ”
Zhuo Jiali's eyes retreated from the battlefield, but her mouth was still active.
"It's hard-mouthed!"
Cen Bowen was amused by Zhuo Jiali's little woman's words and deeds, and scratched her nose with his hand, before reluctantly moving away, and then pulled Zhuo Jiali's shoulders and sent her to the door.
"Quick, I'm really hungry, I don't believe you-"
Cen Bowen's stomach showed full marks, and at this time he really cooperated very cooperatively, Zhuo Jiali couldn't help laughing, so she had to open the door and take Cen Bowen into the house.
Cen Bowen looked around curiously, compared with the Cen family's mansion, Zhuo Jiali can only be called a "nest" here, but with this feminine place, somehow makes him feel particularly comfortable to the eye.
"You sit down and wait for me. ”
Zhuo Jiali changed into slippers, put down her bag, took a colorful rubber band on the coffee table and tied her hair loosely, and went into the kitchen.
Cen Bowen was not so obedient and idle, taking advantage of this rare opportunity to wander around the living room. In the middle of the living room is a green three-seater sofa with a low yellow pomp chair next to it, and a small white coffee table in front of it, underneath which is a soft carpet similar to the blue of the exterior wall of the house. The sofa is facing the TV set hanging on the wall, and on the hanging plate TV stand under the TV, there are photos of Zhuo Jiali and her father, one of which should have been taken not long after Zhuo Jiali was born, and she is still holding a necklace in her hand, and there is a purple heart-shaped pendant under the necklace, which is very exquisite.
Presumably, Zhuo Jiali's mother has really passed away for a long, long time, and although the whole family is not big, there is not even a trace of her. Children without mothers should be uncomfortable from an early age. Cen Bowen remembered that his father Cen Shaojun had also left him for many years, and he deeply understood her feelings.
There are three hidden doors in the living room, one of which has a small white flippable sign hanging on the doorknob, one side says "Welcome", the other side says "Rested", Cen Bowen couldn't help but be happy, there is such a cute thing at the door, it should be Zhuo Jiali's room. He glanced at the kitchen vigilantly, the pots and pans were still ringing, and he tugged at the corners of his mouth, gently twisted the door lock, and walked in.
For the first time, he had entered the rooms of all women except the ladies of the family. The walls of Zhuo Jiali's room are very light blue, with white beds, white cabinets, and white desks, all of which are neat and clean. Cen Bowen couldn't help but admire in his heart: Zhuo Laosan, a big man, has cultivated Zhuo Jiali so well!
As he was walking, Cen Bowen accidentally knocked over a box containing large and small bells on the table to the ground, and the sound of jingling bells kept echoing in the room, and floated mischievously to the kitchen.
Zhuo Jiali was alarmed by the bell, and she was stunned, so she hurriedly ran out of the kitchen, and suddenly saw Cen Bowen in her boudoir, and hurriedly ran over to drive him out, but who knew that she was running too quickly and stepped on one of the larger bells carelessly, and her feet slipped, directly knocking Cen Bowen on her bed.
The air was full of ambiguous breath, and Zhuo Jiali was lying in Cen Bowen's arms, almost 0.01 mm to kiss Cen Bowen's lips, just like a long century. The heartbeat of the two seemed to be louder than the bell that had just fallen to the ground.
Cen Bowen exerted his strength, turned over and pressed Zhuo Jiali under him, and then leaned his face towards Zhuo Jiali, but he couldn't help but go down, and his lips only lightly nodded on her forehead with pity.
Zhuo Jiali stared at him without blinking, motionless and overwhelmed, almost forgetting to breathe.
Looking at Zhuo Jiali's ruddy little mouth up close, Cen Bowen was in a good mood, stretched out his right index finger and gently drew her lips, his eyes seemed to be smiling.
"Are you in such a hurry?"
Zhuo Jiali woke up when she heard Cen Bowen's voice that seemed to have magic at this time, and struggled to get up, but Cen Bowen held her hands down.
"I said that you are my woman, and these will always be done. ”
Cen Bowen really slowly approached Zhuo Jiali's lips now.
Suddenly, there was a burnt smell from the kitchen.
"Oops!"
Zhuo Jiali was excited, pushed Cen Bowen away, and ran back to the kitchen like a gust of wind.
suddenly lost the soft body in his arms, and the unfinished movements on his lips, Cen Bowen felt stunned in his heart. He touched the position where Zhuo Jiali was lying just now and still had her residual warmth, reluctantly stood up slowly and tidied up the somewhat messy clothes, walked to the kitchen door, leaning against the door to admire his woman's heroic posture in the kitchen. Zhuo Jiali didn't give him this opportunity, and directly blasted him to the living room to sit.
After a while, Zhuo Jiali took two bowls of noodles and put them on the dining table, each with a poached egg on the noodles, and a bowl sprinkled with a layer of green green onions, which was quite colorful, fragrant, and delicious.
Cen Bowen sat down at the dinner table unceremoniously.
"You're going to do this for me for a long time?"
"If it weren't for you......" Zhuo Jiali remembered the ambiguity in the room just now, her face was hot, and she was embarrassed to continue, so she changed her words.
"Originally, there was still a fish at home, but I couldn't eat it just now, so I'll eat it for this meal. ”
Cen Bowen looked at the full green onion in his bowl, and then looked at the Zhuo Jiali bowl.
"You don't eat green onions?"
"Hmm. ”
"Actually, I don't eat either. ”
Zhuo Jiali's eyes widened - the domineering president didn't eat green onions?
However, there seems to be no explicit rule that the domineering president must eat green onions.
Zhuo Jiali pushed her noodles to Cen Bowen and moved his bowl in front of her.
moved halfway, but was held down by Cen Bowen. I saw him take a paper towel and spread it on the table, then use chopsticks to pick out the green onions one by one and put them on the paper towel, pick them clean, and then send the noodles to Zhuo Jiali.
"Eat it, it's cold. ”
Seeing Cen Bowen's gentleness, Zhuo Jiali's eyes were hot for no reason, and she was afraid of being discovered by him, so she only lowered her head and ate noodles silently.
Under the careful teaching of Zhuo Laosan, Zhuo Jiali's craftsmanship is indeed very good, and an ordinary bowl of noodles is delicious. Cen Bowen has been in a strict family education since he was a child, and he must even eat in a proper manner, and he must not make loud noises, but here in Zhuo Jiali, he feels sincerely relaxed and comfortable, and the noodles are very fragrant. Cen Bowen's satisfied expression and the empty hole in the bowl that he wiped out completely made Zhuo Jiali also suddenly feel a great sense of accomplishment.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to eat noodles, Zhuo Jiali struggled for a while, but still asked the question in her heart.
"Why did you come to Mr. Ying's office for no reason?"
"Isn't it normal for the president to wander around his own company?"
Cen Bowen replied seemingly casually, and Zhuo Jiali didn't believe his nonsense.
"So what do you say...... We've been together for the past few days?"
Such an ambiguous question came out of her mouth, and Zhuo Jiali was inexplicably weak and flickered. Cen Bowen seems to be above board, and he is particularly upright.
"If I don't say that, can that Rong Qianqian let you go?"
Cen Bowen is benevolent and righteous on the surface, but he is understated, and his "straightforward expression" makes people doubt it. In his heart, he was really proud of taking advantage of Zhuo Jiali.
Zhuo Jiali couldn't help but be confused by his acting skills, and turned her attention to other places.
"How do you know that I didn't take the thing? Are you so sure that I won't be ruthless for revenge on Rong Qianqian?"
After eating the last bite of noodles, Cen Bowen gently placed his chopsticks on the bowl.
"If I can't even tell this, how can I run such a large company? Besides, it's not the first time she's targeting you. ”
Isn't it the first time? Zhuo Jiali was full of suspicion, and she always felt that something was wrong.
At the last report meeting of the Shengyuan project, Rong Qianqian was harshly reprimanded by Cen Bowen and expelled from the project team, and she also heard about it, could it be that the big move was for herself?
"Don't talk about this, you haven't done it, just guard against it in the future. How's your foot?"
Zhuo Jiali saw that Cen Bowen hastily ended the previous topic, and suddenly cared about herself, and couldn't help but think of what happened after stepping on the bell in the room just now, her eyes couldn't help but be a little panicked, and then saw Cen Bowen's serious and innocent look, she realized that what she was talking about should be the thing that she got her foot in the Jiawen Hall last Friday.
"Uh, it's nothing, it's much better, thank you. ”
Cen Bowen suddenly reached out lovingly and stroked Zhuo Jiali's hair.
"Take care of yourself, or I'll be worried. ”
Is this still the Cen Bowen who has no one arrogant in his eyes? Such gentleness has to make Zhuo Jiali's heart surge.
In the wine cellar in the basement of the Cen family, Cen Shaokang depressedly opened an old man's wine collection, and the moment the wine opener pulled out the cork, it was as if it was a rusty thorn in the eye that was about to be pulled out.
"Second brother, who offended you again?"
During this time, Cen Bowen was in the company, and he did many things that embarrassed Cen Shaokang and couldn't get off the stage, Cen Shaoyi gloated, asked knowingly, and wiped two glasses with nothing to do.
"I thought that Cen Bowen's kid didn't eat oil and salt, but who knew that he was fond of low-level fun. The daughter of the Xia family didn't come to visit you at home before, and the family background is also Peugeot, I heard that he chased that kid abroad for several years, and he didn't even look at other girls. I heard today that he got along with our driver's daughter!"
Cen Shaoyi almost broke the cup in his hand.
"Where did you hear that?"
"Today he openly said that he had been with that lowly woman last weekend, and he was still holding hands in the company, so many pairs of eyes saw that there was still a fake?"
Cen Shaoyi was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth with such exciting news, but when he turned his head, he immediately became suspicious.
"No, I saw him at home on the weekend with his sister-in-law taking care of the flowers and plants, when did he get with a woman?
On the weekend, Cen Shaokang said that he was on a business trip, but in fact, he was happy in Xia Yuheng's club for two days, and naturally he didn't see Cen Bowen when he was not at home. He irritated and poured the red wine into the decanter.
"Whether he's there or not, he did do a lot of unbelievable things with that woman. Such a woman with means, did she really let her into the Cen family?
Cen Shaokang then told Cen Shaoyi all the gossip about Cen Bowen and Zhuo Jiali. Cen Shaoyi was shocked to absorb and digest this information, and his brain spun rapidly.
Cen Shaokang's words are not coarse, although the Cen family is still the old lady Cen is still presiding over affairs, but Cen Bowen has gained power in the company, and Cen Bowen is the family in disguise. If a low-status but quite capable woman becomes Cen Bowen's woman and joins the Cen family, she may become his right-hand man, and in the future, she may really have no status in Zhenzhong or even this family, and she will be subservient for the rest of her life.
In contrast, if Xia Xiaoxiao, who has a prominent family, can become the granddaughter-in-law of the Cen family, she herself grows on the gold mountain with a golden key, and basically has no intention of the Cen family's family background. What's more, such a young lady who can't hide things in her heart, she is first-class and doesn't cause trouble to Cen Bowen, it is almost impossible to be Cen Bowen's virtuous helper, how can she be her opponent!
Following Cen Shaokang's words, Cen Shaoyi flattered lightly.
"Second brother, you still understand things and see things clearly, our Cen family is also a famous family in Gaoning, and we must not let those women who are indiscriminate climb the dragon and the phoenix. ”
"Then our two brothers and sisters should also think about countermeasures?"
The two wine glasses collided loudly.
