Chapter 15: He's getting married
As soon as Xie Feifei entered the door, he fell on the sofa and shouted weakly: "I'm so hungry, do you have anything to eat?"
Nanfeng ran out of the bedroom and said in surprise: "Why don't you say in advance when you come back, there is nothing to eat at home, and you plan to go to the supermarket tomorrow." β
Xie Feifei said: "This time I went to talk about a big case, and I was to inspect the venue and stay up all night to make a plan drawing, and I was so tired that I didn't even have the strength to pick up the phone." β
"Agreed?"
"Of course, I don't see who is out of the way!" Xie Feifei said proudly.
Nanfeng was happy for her: "Yes, yes, you are the best!" dragged her up: "I'm also a little hungry, go out for supper, you have a treat!"
Xie Feifei was too lazy to drive, the two of them took a taxi to Linjiang Road, found a small restaurant to eat hot pot, Xie Feifei ordered a lot of side dishes under the pot, and asked for two bottles of beer.
"Ice!" she added, to her boss.
Nanfeng frowned: "It's so cold, drink cold beer?"
Xie Feifei broke open his chopsticks and rhythmically knocked on the edge of the bowl: "Hot pot, cold beer, this is a happy life!"
Nanfeng was amused by her, and rushed out: "Don't get drunk again, I don't have the strength to carry you up to the third floor again!"
Xie Feifei paused as he poured water.
"Tell me, what happened that night?" Nanfeng wanted to ask, but Xie Feifei was busy like a spinning top on a business trip these days, and she herself was a bunch of tangled things.
"He's getting married. Xie Feifei said lightly.
Nanfeng opened his mouth and replied: "Good thing!"
Xie Feifei glared at her, and said angrily: "I knew you would say that!" After a pause, he said, "I am the last one among my friends to know." β
That day, she went to Zhou Yang with the invitation card given by Nanfeng, and he said that there was a dinner. She just thought it was an ordinary dinner and asked him to push it off. He hesitated before telling her that the dinner was important because his parents met with his girlfriend's parents to agree on the date of the wedding. She was stunned and asked stupidly, are you getting married?, he nodded. She repeated the question twice, and the answer was the same. For a few seconds, she felt like she couldn't breathe at all. She doesn't know how she left his company later. She sat in the car and called a few of their mutual friends, asking them if they knew that Zhou Yang was going to get married, and they all asked her in surprise, don't you know? Isn't your relationship the best? Xie Feifei hung up the phone, and tears also fell. She actually rarely cried, but at that moment, I don't know what happened, and the tears were like a collapsed river embankment, and she couldn't stop it.
Nanfeng pouted: "I'm not a stone, his magic spell has tied you up for so many years, just right, die a happy death, die early and be born early!"
Xie Feifei's depressed mood was amused by her again, the cold beer was just delivered, she poured two glasses, "Come, please die early and live early!"
Nanfeng couldn't help laughing, picked up the cup, drank it all, swallowed the cold liquid, and made her shiver. In fact, the doctor told her not to eat spicy food and not to drink alcohol. But she wanted to have a drink with Xie Feifei at this moment. A good friend is that, even if you can't empathize with her bad mood, you will be there for her when she needs comfort, and accompany her to do whatever she wants.
They ate the hot pot until late, Xie Feifei knew that Nanfeng's stomach was not very good, so he restrained the urge to get drunk, and did not call again after drinking the two bottles of wine, if he drank it himself, Nanfeng would inevitably accompany him. She ate like a groce, and there seemed to be a big black hole in her stomach, which she couldn't fill. She actually knew that the black hole was in her heart.
After eating, it was already early in the morning, and the next day was Sunday, so you could sleep until you woke up naturally, Xie Feifei was overwhelmed, and proposed to go for a walk by the river not far away. The corners of Nanfeng's mouth twitched, walking by the river in the early hours of winter, but still accompanied by the cold wind.
The riverside on a winter night is quiet, and the lights on both sides of the river are bright, reflecting the sparkling surface of the water. This river in Haicheng belongs to the same body of water as Liancheng. Nanfeng looked at the river and was a little distracted.
A few years ago, she lived in a riverside apartment in Liancheng, on the 29th floor, with a large terrace, facing the vast river. Fu Xijing saw that she liked to stay on the terrace, so she made a very comfortable soft sofa and put it there, with a wooden table, on which her favorite snacks never stopped. At first she wondered why there was only a soft sofa, but then she finally understood his sinister intentions. The single sofa was very wide, and it was no problem to sit two people, Fu Xijing squeezed into the sofa with her, hugged her tightly, rested his face in her neck socket, and laughed in her ear, yes, I did it on purpose......
"South Wind!" Xie Feifei's voice interrupted her fugue.
"Huh?"
"What are you thinking, I'm talking to you!"
"Uh...... What did you just say?"
Xie Feifei stomped his feet: "It's a little cold, let's go back." β
"Oh, good. β
In the taxi, Xie Feifei leaned on Nanfeng's shoulder extremely tiredly, his eyes closed. Nanfeng thought she was asleep, but she suddenly said in a low voice: "Nanfeng, I'm so tired, I'm really tired." During the few days of my business trip, I was in a terrible mood, but I had to work hard to cope with all kinds of trivial ...... That's life. β
That's life.
Nanfeng's mind always echoed Xie Feifei's almost desperate tone when he said this. She took out a bank card from the drawer, this card is Zhao Yun's exclusive card for medical expenses, she paid her salary every month, and after she left the necessary living expenses, everything left was deposited into this card. With this card and her personal bank card, all the money is less than 100,000. Maybe she can ask Xie Feifei to borrow it, as long as she opens her mouth, Xie Feifei will definitely help her get it even if she doesn't have it. But she didn't want to.
Xie Feifei's words were like a slap in the face.
Even if Fu Xijing is a flood beast, it can't compare to the life of suffering.
She took a deep breath and made her decision.
This man, whether it was a few years ago or now, always has the ability to disrupt her otherwise peaceful life.
However, she thought that she was no longer the teenage girl she was back then, spoiled by her parents, naΓ―ve and ignorant of the world. Over the years, life has not only sharpened her character to be tough, but also her heart to be cold and hard.
If you can't avoid it, then face it head-on!
Nanfeng went to work as usual on Monday, Lin Xiaorou saw her, her face was naturally not good, she took the initiative to go over and apologize, since she decided to stay, she would treat her work well. Lin Xiaorou glanced at her and asked her to pay attention in the future. After a pause, the corners of her mouth moved slightly, she still didn't say anything, she just couldn't help but stare at Nanfeng's back a few more times, and silently guessed what was the relationship between her and the president?
She also heard the movement in the president's room that day, Nanfeng slammed the door so loudly, and she could still come back to work safe and sound! Moreover, Nanfeng skipped work, and her tone was so bad in the face of her questioning, she went in to send documents to Fu Xijing, and couldn't help mentioning it, Fu Xijing actually said lightly, Nanfeng was uncomfortable, and asked him for leave.
The resignation report was as if it never existed, Nanfeng didn't ask Fu Xijing to get it back, and he didn't mention it, both of them pretended to be nothing, except for work contact, he rarely took the initiative to find her, and there was no difference between her and Lin Xiaorou.
Moreover, Fu Xijing takes care of the two companies, Haicheng and Liancheng run in both places, and there is not much time in Hengsheng.
The south wind relieved himself slightly.
It's almost time to get off work that day, and Fu Xijing suddenly looked for her inside.
"Mr. Fu, what's the matter?" she knocked on the door and entered, in a respectful tone.
Fu Xijing also said in a businesslike tone, without a trace of emotion: "Tomorrow you accompany me on a business trip, and I'll see you at the company at eight o'clock." After speaking, he added: "Oh, I'm going to go for two days, you remember to bring your belongings." β
Nanfeng frowned: "Mr. Fu, is it more appropriate to find Lin Tezhu?" "She's just a B assistant, and it's not her turn to accompany the president on a business trip, right?"
Fu Xijing raised his eyebrows, with a look of "are you the boss or am I the boss", Nanfeng was defeated in his silent eyes that could not be resisted: "Where are you going?"
"Liancheng. β
Nanfeng's face changed.
Fu Xijing said: "Something?"
"No, no problem. β
"Okay, see you tomorrow. β
Nanfeng had insomnia as expected, rushed to the company with slightly swollen eyes the next morning, almost was late, trotted all the way into the gate, and received a call from Fu Xijing when she was waiting for the elevator, asking her to go directly to the underground parking lot.
In the crowd of cars, Fu Xijing's off-road car was particularly easy to recognize, Nanfeng calmed down, walked over and opened the rear door, his voice sounded in the car, and he couldn't resist in a tone: "Sit in front." β
Nanfeng paused and silently walked to the co-pilot. She knew that even if she argued, the final outcome would still be the same, so why waste her energy. Insomnia all night made her very mentally poor, she really didn't have the strength to fight with him, sit in front of her, sit in front, she got in the car, closed her eyes, and made up for sleep!
Fu Xijing glanced at her slightly swollen and faint blue and black eyes, frowned, but didn't say anything, leaned over to help her buckle her seat belt. His sudden approach made Nanfeng stiffen, and his eyes subconsciously widened, and the four eyes were facing each other, he was so close to her, his breath sprayed on her cheeks, entwined with her breath, his dark eyes looked into her eyes for a moment, and the undisguised heat suffocated her heart. She jerked her head away, her cheek brushing against his lips, a tingling itch.
There was a crunch, the seat belt was finally fastened, and he got up and sat back in the cab. Then he turned sideways slightly, took a food bag from the back seat, and handed it to Nanfeng: "Breakfast." β
She only hesitated, then took it: "Thank you." She was indeed a little hungry, and she was in a hurry in the morning, and she didn't have time to buy it, and in order not to turn her stomach against her, she preferred to accept his affection.
Fu Xijing started the engine.
When she opened the paper bag, she was stunned, and inside was red bean bread and sugar-free malt milk tea. She always eats only one flavor of bread, which is red bean paste. Drinking milk tea is also very picky, as long as it is malty, you can't put sugar. After so many years, I didn't expect him to remember.
She took small bites of bread, the red beans were delicate, sweet and soft, but she only felt that her mouth was full of a faint bitterness.
She only ate half of the bread and drank only a few sips of milk tea, so she put it back in the food bag. She knew that Fu Xijing was watching her, so she didn't bother to care, closed her eyes, and continued to make up for sleep.
Nanfeng seriously suspected that Fu Xijing had lost sleeping pills in the milk tea she had given her, otherwise why didn't she feel anything if she had shifted her position? When she woke up, she found that she was lying flat in the back seat, covered with a thin blanket, the car was stopped, but the engine was not turned off, and the heating in the car was sufficient. There was no one in the cab.
She rolled over and sat up, shook her head, and then opened the door and got out of the car.
At a glance, Fu Xijing leaned on the car and smoked, the dim lights of the underground parking lot came down, his face was half hidden in the shadows, his fingertips were dotted with red stars, and the smoke was swirling, with a sense of quiet loneliness.
"Mr. Fu. "The south wind broke the silence.
He turned around and snuffed out the cigarette butt.
"I'm sorry, I overslept. She bowed her head slightly, she was really ashamed, normally, they should have arrived in Lotus City before ten o'clock, and at this moment, it was already twelve o'clock!
"It's okay, I changed the meeting time to dinner. β
Hearing him say this, Nanfeng felt even more guilty, it was simply dereliction of duty!
"Let's go, let's go eat. β
Taking the elevator from the parking lot to the upper floor was originally just a subtle sense of familiarity, but when Nanfeng stood in the hall, the sense of familiarity that came to her face made her emotions very complicated. From a business trip to Liancheng, to red bean bread, sugar-free malt milk tea, to this famous seafood restaurant where she loved them the most.
