Chapter 131: Stay by My Side
The nearest pharmacy is not very big, and Shen walked in as scheduled and came out shortly after. The pregnancy test and long-term contraceptives in the bag were tightly placed.
After passing the intersection, Shen Ru planned to go to a nearby coffee shop to buy a cup of coffee, and was about to push the door in, when someone came up behind her to help her push the door open, she turned around in surprise, but unexpectedly, Zhang Ruochen's face fell into her sight.
The door at the back closed, and the cold wind that burrowed into the cafΓ© was quickly drowned out by the heating.
"Such a coincidence?" Zhang Ruochen opened his mouth first after separating Shen Ruzhi from a decent distance.
"It's a coincidence. Shen picked up the end of the queue as scheduled.
"Have you eaten?" Zhang Ruochen stood behind her.
"Not yet. β
"Then we'll have dinner together? It's just that I'm going to talk to Manager Xiao about game planning in the afternoon. β
"No, I'm not too hungry. Finally, it was Shen's turn to order as scheduled, she stepped forward, ordered a cup of Americano, and moved to the place where she picked up the cup after paying.
Zhang Ruochen was a little lost, but he was well hidden, and just finished reporting the name of the coffee and met the cashier's gaze.
The cashier immediately recognized him, and his happy expression couldn't hide it, "Writer Zhang?"
Suddenly, a pair of eyes in the coffee shop shot directly at Zhang Ruochen's body, and the sound of one after another changed from small to loud, and there were already people walking in the direction of Zhang Ruochen.
Shen took the coffee in his hand as scheduled and walked out, Zhang Ruochen saw her walk away, and he didn't have time to wait for the cup of coffee that was still being made, but the human wall stacked in front of him blocked his way forward, he could only take the pen that was handed over, and signed his name in the blank paper, the people around him were very enthusiastic, praising him, eager to attract his attention, at this time, the world was very lively, but looking at his back that gradually disappeared from the glass, the sudden loneliness seemed to clench a fist, and grabbed his still beating heart, he frowned, the cup of coffee behind him was still not taken, with a smile, he walked out of the crowdγ

Xiao Huiru knocked on the door of Qin Shaoheng's office with a lunch box. In a matter of seconds, she was allowed to enter, and she opened the thick wooden door.
She laid out the lunch boxes on the table, her movements cautious and honestly fearful, and the brightly colored cakes resembled dancers, delighting the audience.
In front of her, Qin Shaoheng was still dealing with the documents on the table, she inexplicably remembered that at that time, they had just been together, and he was also so busy, as if the height of the stack of documents on the desk had never been lowered, of course she was reluctant in her heart, but she knew his temperament, so she didn't dare to pester him, so she had to accompany him silently. In fact, if you look back, she was very dull when she fell in love with him, there were no romantic surprises, and even the daily dates were pitiful, they were like two building blocks that fit together, coordinated and beautiful together, but there was no soul, but even if this kind of lackluster love, she was still willing. It's like I've gotten such a big treasure.,I can't put it down.γ
But she never thought that one day, she would lose him, lose so completely, she bit her pale lip, full of unwillingness to be rubbed into the darkest corner of her heart by her, Jiaorou opened her mouth, "Shao Heng, let's eat first, it will be cold later." β
She saw that Qin Shaoheng looked up, and also saw the trace of surprise flashing in his eyes.
Qin Shaoheng still didn't stop processing the documents, lowered his head, and his voice was deep, "As scheduled?"
Xiao Huiru was stunned there, embarrassed like a grain of dry rice on the delicate dish, if he was willing to pay more attention to her efforts, instead of caring about the whereabouts of another woman, it would be better, but it backfired, her weak face flashed a trace of emotional fluctuations, but she was quickly suppressed, "As scheduled, something went out." She paused, her eyes flashed, and her voice was as soft as ever, "It seems that I have made an appointment." β
She saw that Qin Shaoheng's movement of flipping through the document froze, and her fingertips stayed in the corner of the document for a few seconds before resuming her movements.
"You go out to eat first, and I'll come over later." β
His deep voice rang in her ears, and it would have been nice if he hadn't said it.
Her eyes darkened, and her pale face became more pitiful, "Then don't forget to come over for dinner later, and I specially bought the pastries of Jin Kee." β
"Hello, thank you!"
He didn't even look up when he spoke.
She didn't need his thanks, what she needed was for him to sit down with her to eat and talk together, and in this noon day when the sun was still shining brightly despite the chill, but his cold words covered her heart with a thick layer of ice, which could not be chiseled or melted.
Reluctantly glancing back at him, Xiao Huiru walked out of his office in frustration.
The door of the office closed, as if separating her and Qin Shaoheng in two worlds.
Xiao Huiru was unwilling to return to her position, and before she could sit for long, she saw Shen Ruzhi walking in with a cup of coffee, she looked away and secretly scratched the paper into a ball.
It's lunch break after dinner, and the atmosphere is silent.
Shen put the half-drunk coffee on the table as scheduled, secretly took out the pregnancy test stick from his bag, pinched it in the palm of his hand, and was about to go to the bathroom.
The door of Qin Shaoheng's office was suddenly opened.
"Shen Ru, you come in. β
A cold voice sounded behind her, and she was subconsciously startled, panicked, put down the pregnancy test stick in her hand, and closed the zipper of the bag.
She followed into the office.
The huge office was empty, and there were only the two of them.
She was still thinking in her heart, so she was naturally a little absent-minded, "What's wrong?"
"Come and eat with me. Qin Shaoheng opened his long legs under the straight ironing suit pants, and sat on the sofa.
Shen had no choice but to move his steps closer and sit down some distance away from him.
"Are you rice, afraid that I will eat you?" his voice was cold, and his face was slightly displeased.
Shen thought about it as scheduled, and didn't seem to offend him today, it wasn't all Xiao Huiru who actively ran in and out in the morning, she didn't even meet him, she didn't have a chance to offend him at all, she moved a distance closer.
He frowned, "Come and eat together." β
She refused, "I'm not hungry." But as soon as he finished speaking, his stomach puffed out uncontrollably, and the voice was not loud or small, and he happened to hear it, and his face turned red, and he sat down for some distance.
She glanced at the pair of chopsticks on the table and got up, "I'll go get another pair of chopsticks." β
Before he could take a step, he was stopped by Qin Shaoheng, "A pair of chopsticks is enough." β
Shen had to sit down as scheduled, Qin Shaoheng, who was addicted to cleanliness, would use a pair of chopsticks with her, she still remembered that once, it rained a lot, and the ground was muddy, she didn't know where she accidentally got dirt, that night he disliked letting her take a bath three or four times before stopping, and since then, she has become very consciously well-behaved in this regard.
Today's Qin Shaoheng may have the wrong nerve to use a pair of chopsticks with her.
"Shao Heng, if you don't eat first, I'll eat after you finish eating. Shen proposed in a low voice as scheduled.
"Open your mouth. β
She opened her mouth obediently, it was her favorite braised pork, fat but not greasy. Shen's good impression of braised pork comes from Shen's mother's superb cooking skills, and she can make a bowl of ordinary braised pork delicious, so she can't get tired of eating it since she was a child. But Qin Shaoheng has always resisted this kind of greasy food, like this kind of fatty dishes from a young age.
When Shen was fed four or five braised pork, as well as five or six mouthfuls of rice, he realized that Qin Shaoheng wanted her to solve the dish of braised pork.
Today's lunch wasn't prepared by her, so she let the dish slip in.
"Went out at noon?"
Just as Shen was impressed by his detective mind, Qin Shaoheng had already put down his chopsticks, and a cold voice sounded.
"Yes, I bought a cup of coffee. Shen Ru was a little weak-hearted.
"Just bought a cup of coffee?" he asked her.
She panicked, he shouldn't have noticed something, turned his head, and fell into sight, his face was calm, his eyebrows were heavy, and he couldn't discern any emotion.
"Yes. Just bought a cup of coffee. She twisted her fingers, panicked like a drum, and exhaled secretly.
Suddenly, her body was overwhelmed by the force, and she was forced to lie on the sofa, she panicked, and her eyes fell not far away, but fortunately the partition on the glass had been opened, otherwise this ambiguous posture.
He grabbed her chin, forcing her gaze to meet him, she was so close to him, the faint smell of his body penetrated the tip of his nose, and his deep eyes were like a whistling snowstorm, leaning over and kissing her on the lips.
The slight pain made her resist a little, and the little hand that pushed on his chest used force, "Shao Heng, this is the office." β
She wanted to remind him that this occasion was special and that he needed to be sensible.
But the force he put on her lips was a little heavier, and his hand gradually climbed up, as if he wanted to tear her bones into his abdomen, and the temperature in the air became higher and higher.
It was a moment before he let go of her.
Her neckline had been loosened, her hair was messy, the traces of her body that had not disappeared were open to the air, and her gaze fell somewhere, blushing, and closing her neckline.
He was half-propped up, his shirt was wrinkled, he was panting slightly, his resolute chin was slightly raised, and he looked at her condescendingly and coldly, "Do you know how to lie to me?"
Undisguised warning, she was stunned, and slowly spoke, her tone dejected, "I know. β
His calloused fingertips slid gently over her crimson cheeks, "Stay by my side." β
Like a pet with no feelings, no soul, and no resistance, she knew it in her heart.
The light in her eyes faded, and she lowered her head, "I see." I made an appointment with Gu Dan that night, is it okay?" she was afraid that he would not agree, so she continued, "I haven't had a good shopping with her for a long time." I'll go back sooner. β
"Good. β
She didn't expect him to agree so readily, and muttered, "Thank you." β
"You go out first. He seemed to be enduring something, and his voice was hoarse.
She hesitated, her gaze falling somewhere, "You...."
Before she could say anything, he grabbed her hand, and the heat of her palm was like a flame, and her whole heart was so nervous that it almost jumped out of her chest.
But in front of him, his expression was as cold as usual, but his eyebrows were slightly frowned.
