Chapter 40: There Is No Wedding
Xu Ruoou covered his face, his voice was low and deep, drifting away along the sea breeze.
The first time she encountered danger, she turned to Qiao Twilight for help, and she didn't have any thoughts at that time, but after this whole night, she thought a lot and understood a lot.
In her heart, there is a dependence on Qiao Twilight, and this dependence is infinitely magnified by her, even beyond the position of her parents in her heart.
She also wondered where this dependence came from, and the answer she got was everything he had done for her in the past lowly days.
But it's a pity that the person who rescued her was not Qiao Twilight, it was Xi and Xi, who had only met once, and didn't get along well.
Xu Ruoou comforted herself that life was unsatisfactory nine times out of ten, and she couldn't pin all her hopes on one person, and she didn't suffer much anyway.
But if comfort is useful, how can people be so unsatisfactory?
"Speaking of which, I also found out later that you and he are both married, so you are very tight!"
Xi Hexi carefully looked at Xu Ruoou's expression, and saw that she was melancholy and incomprehensible, and subconsciously wanted to change the topic, but this entry point was really not good.
Or maybe he did it on purpose?
Xi Hexi's eyebrows were lowered, covering up a fleeting anger.
"I thought the whole Haicheng knew about it. ”
Xu Ruoou laughed to himself.
What if the national media reported on it? There was no wedding ceremony, but she was forced to go with him to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get two small books with red covers, and since then she has been branded as Qiao Dushi's wife.
"I don't pay much attention to the news, but I haven't heard anyone talk about Joe's wedding, and I thought he was still single. ”
What Xi and Xi didn't say was that he thought that Qiao Twilight didn't invite the Xi family because of his competitive relationship with Xi Yusi.
"Well, how do you say that? Haha, there really is no wedding!"
Probably because Xu Ruoou's state was really not good, Xi Hexi's vicious careful thoughts were quietly annihilated, and he carefully tentatively held Xu Ruoou's hand.
Xu Ruoou was startled, subconsciously pulled back, and looked at him in disbelief.
"Ahem, I've been sitting outside all night, my hands are frozen purple, give you warmth, don't pull it down. ”
As he spoke, he withdrew his hand with a look of disgust.
It's like the real thing.
Xu Ruoou thought in his heart, but he didn't stop it, let alone say anything more.
The two of them were silent and walked together to the parking place, and the atmosphere was a little awkward. Xu Ruoou thought, this can't work, he still has to speak, what if he is unhappy and throws her here? Qiao Twilight didn't know that Ma Yue could find her in the Year of the Monkey.
"Well, how are we going back?"
"Whatever it is. ”
Xi Youxi said in a good tone, but Xu Ruoou could hear that he didn't mean to be angry.
As soon as the two of them walked on the embankment, more than a dozen luxury cars were parked next to the car, Xu Ruoou was shocked, and just about to say something, he swept to the leading car.
The big red Lamborghini, she has sat on it several times.
Sure enough, in the next second, the car doors opened, and Qiao Dusk got out of the first car, followed by Ah K and a beautiful woman with long legs and a thin waist with an extraordinary temperament.
Xu Ruoou suddenly became blessed to his heart, and guessed the identity of that beauty, the female assistant Min Ziwen that Qiao Dushi valued the most.
"Looks like he's not too busy. ”
Xi Hexi put his hands in his trouser pockets, and said a word, but he didn't take a step forward, and vaguely leaned towards Xu Ruoou, blocking her behind.
It's just that Xu Ruoou is not very cooperative, and feels that he is his sight, so he moved to the side again, and looked at Qiao Dusk with a calm face with a complicated expression.
"Are you alright?"
Qiao Dusk walked up to Xu Ruoou's side, ignored Xi Hexi, who was disdainful of all kinds of trying to find fault, and asked softly.
Seeing Xu Ruoou shaking her head, his eyes moved to the small blanket she was wearing on her body, and her lips were faintly red and purple, and she took off her coat and put it on her.
"Let's go, I'll take you home. ”
"Mr. Qiao, Mr. Xi saved me. ”
With his backhand, he took down Qiao Dusk's hand that was on his haircut, and Xu Ruoou's eyes were stubborn and expectant.
Qiao Twilight's eyes swirled back and forth between Xi and Xi and Xu Ruoou, and finally smiled, the meaning of which was unknown.
"You're frightened, go back and get some sleep, nothing happened, good. ”
"Qiao Shao, I saved Mrs. Qiao, you didn't even say a word to me, it's not appropriate, right?"
Xi Youxi lowered his eyes, and the corners of his lips hooked up a sneering arc, looking at him really unfriendly.
"Oh, then thank you Xi Ershao, say hello to Mr. Xi for me. ”
Qiao Twilight's voice was faint, and he couldn't hear the joy and anger, but Xu Ruoou had a feeling that he was angry, and it was angry.
"Mr. Xi, thank you, goodbye. ”
As soon as the words fell, Xu Ruoou was taken away by Qiao Dusk.
Xi and Xi stood on the embankment, looking at the people who were drifting away, and squinted.
"Married, heh, Joe Twilight, Joe Twilight, what are you thinking?"
"Are you angry?"
Sitting back in the co-pilot of Lamborghini, with the air conditioner on in the car, Xu Ruoou felt alive in an instant, and his frozen limbs gradually regained his instincts, and he was crispy and itchy.
"I said I'm angry, so you can stop associating with him?"
Who he is is self-evident.
Xu Ruoou was stunned, and always felt that Qiao Dashao had an inexplicable hostility towards Xi and Xi, and it was definitely not that she thought too much.
"You don't seem to like Mr. Xi very much?"
Xu Ruoou carefully considered the choice of words, and secretly looked at Qiao Dusk, for fear of annoying him.
"Shouldn't you explain what happened yesterday?"
The piercing sound of brakes suddenly sounded in his ears, startling Xu Ruoou's heart thumping, and he looked at Qiao Twilight in horror.
And Qiao Twilight pursed her lips at this time, and a pair of eyes as sharp as eagle eyes also stared at her, seeing that her qi and blood all over her body showed signs of coagulation.
"Yesterday, I could explain slowly, if you want to hear it. ”
Xu Ruoou swallowed his saliva and said with difficulty.
"I want to hear it, you can say it. ”
Joe Twilight sat back in place, her eyes fixed on the front, and her whole body tensed.
"So, let's talk as we go?"
Xu Ruoou pitifully pointed out the back window, more than a dozen luxury cars were parked behind in an orderly manner, pedestrians on the side of the road also pointed at their cars, and some took out their mobile phones to take pictures.
Joe Twilight snorted impatiently, and with one foot of the accelerator, the modified top-of-the-line sports car made a pleasant sound, like an arrow from the string, leaving the team behind far behind.
"Actually......"
In a few words, Xu Jiaru said that he threatened Jiang Jiu'er, and finally stuck out his tongue embarrassedly.
"I didn't expect Xu Jiaru to arrange so much, she didn't have this brain before!"
In the final concluding remarks, Xu Ruoou brought a little flattery and a little coquettishness.
Joe Twilight didn't speak, his face was still gloomy, like the last calm before the storm, but the speed of the car slowly dropped to the speed of normal urban driving.
"In the future, you are not allowed to meet with people with the surname Xi. ”
Seeing that the Xu family's old mansion was close in front of him, Qiao Dusk suddenly said.
"All the surnames?"
Feeling that Qiao Twilight was no longer very angry, Xu Ruoou began to die, looked at him with a smile, and raised his eyebrows.
"All. ”
The ending was unexpected, and Qiao Twilight nodded solemnly and repeated it again.
"Mr. Xi saved me after all. ”
Seeing that Qiao Twilight was so persistent, Xu Ruoou also restrained his joking thoughts and said with a straight face.
"That's what he's up to!"
Qiao Dusk was annoyed, and as soon as the words came out, he realized that he was a little too concerned, pursed his lips and glanced to the side, refusing to look at Xu Ruoou.
"But Mr. Qiao, the Xu family is no longer my father's, I am now a poor and white daughter, apart from me, what else can I make others plot?"
In the eyes of outsiders, Xu Ruoou is Qiao Dushi's wife, although they did not have a wedding, they registered, and the media across the country reported it.
But Xu Ruoou has a clear heart in his heart, what kind of husband and wife are they who are married or not?
"So, are you telling me that Xi Hexi, the second young master of the Xi Group, has taken a fancy to you?
Qiao Twilight turned her head sharply and looked at Xu Ruoou with a mocking expression.
"Say whatever you want, thank you for sending me back, goodbye. ”
Xu Ruoou also got angry, thanked Qiao Dushi with a cold face and said goodbye, and then went home without looking back.
Qiao Twilight in the car looked at her unrelenting back, slammed it on the steering wheel, the pain in his knuckles brought him back to some reason, and when he saw her enter the gate, he made a gloomy face and left the Xu family's mansion.
"Joo is back. ”
As soon as Xu Ruoou entered the house, Xu's mother greeted him with a loving face.
Without waiting for her to explain anything, Mother Xu blocked back what she was going to say in a few words, and with doubts, Xu Ruoou went back to the room and called Jiang Jiu'er.
"It's me, Jiu'er, are you okay?"
"Thank goodness, you're still asking me if I'm okay, it's clear that you're the one who happened!"
Without waiting for Xu Ruoou to say anything more, Jiang Jiu'er cried and laughed, and said a lot of words without a preface, and the most she said was to thank God for your blessing and thank Qiao Twilight for her heroism.
Xu Ruoou can still understand it in front, but she doesn't understand it when she is twilight.
"Okay, I'm all right, aren't I? You keep talking about Joe Twilight, what did he do to confuse you. ”
"Hey, didn't Mr. Qiao save you?"
Jiang Jiu'er's thanks came to an abrupt end, and she asked a question that made Xu Ruoou extremely depressed.
"No, it's a person who has had a relationship, Xi and Xi, do you remember?"
As soon as the cause and effect were said, Jiang Jiu'er also understood that he had made trouble, but when he thought of Qiao Twilight, who was terrifying yesterday, Jiang Jiu'er felt that Qiao Twilight was just a little unlucky.
"You can't blame Mr. Qiao, it was very late when he saw your news, you don't know, Haicheng was about to be turned over yesterday, how many official and unofficial forces are looking for you, and Mr. Qiao also went to shoot your good second uncle's table!"
Therefore, Jiang Jiu'er excused Qiao Dusk, which was no more perfunctory than thanking the Heavenly God and Buddha just now.
Xu Ruoou listened for a while, and kept pursing his lips, thinking about whether to apologize to Qiao Dusk. After thinking about it, she didn't do anything wrong, and the two of them weren't awkward about it.
"Come on, who is the little friend from childhood to adulthood!"
Rejecting Jiang Jiu'er's request to say beautiful things to Qiao Twilight again, Xu Ruoou talked about something else.
"The results of the preliminary round of CA's designer competition came out, and I passed. ”
"Isn't it natural for you to pass! If you don't pass, you should have an inside story!"
Jiang Jiu'er has a kind of mysterious confidence in Xu Ruoou's ability, and this confidence will sometimes make Xu Ruoou have an illusion that he is omnipotent.
"Comrade Jiang Jiu'er, I solemnly inform you, don't exaggerate the facts at every turn, what's the matter with you little girl!"
After chatting for more than half an hour, Xu Ruoou hung up the phone, tossing and turning on the bed, his eyes kept scanning the tablet, thinking about whether to send a message to Qiao Twilight.
Anyway, Jiang Jiu'er was right, Qiao Dushi almost blew up the entire Haicheng in order to find her, and she had to be grateful to him.
"Congratulations. ”
Without waiting for Xu Ruoou to do a good job of self-enlightenment, Qiao Dusk's message came first, and he didn't say anything else, just two words.
Xu Ruoou sighed, now she has no temper at all, Qiao Twilight put the steps under her feet, and it is not appropriate for her to take Qiao.
"Thanks, will we have dinner tomorrow?"
said that she said it, but whether she could respond, Xu Ruoou didn't know the bottom of her heart, she nervously tugged at the quilt, only to find that her palms were already wet.
"Okay, I'm busy tomorrow, I'm going to pick you up when I'm done. ”
Qiao Dusk's news didn't make Xu Ruoou wait too long. She looked at the short line of words, sighed as if relieved, threw the tablet aside, and rolled comfortably twice.
It's impossible not to see Xi and Xi, but you can see Qiao Twilight on your back!
I have to say that Xu Ruoou's self-soothing ability is excellent.
Separated from Qiao's twilight sports car, Min Ziwen, who had been in a highly tense state, instantly relaxed, leaned lazily on the back of the passenger seat, and looked at the street trees that flashed outside the car window.
"What are you thinking?"
Ah K looked at her distractedly, then withdrew his gaze and looked at the road intently.
"I'm just wondering when Mr. Qiao will close the net. ”
Siyus is the fish, Joe Twilight is the fisherman, and Xu Ruoou is the net that is fairly strong.
"Mr. Joe has his own plans, it's enough for us to do our part and not add to the chaos. ”
Ah K was not surprised by what she was thinking, and sighed slightly, everything on his face was as usual, as if he was chatting with her. There was a bit of warning in the words, and I don't know if she could understand it.
Or, she just doesn't want to understand.
"Do you have a plan?"
Min Ziwen said softly, as if asking Ah K, and as if she was talking to herself.
"Hopefully, this kind of behavior of pouring the whole city into finding someone doesn't look like a use at all. ”
Ah K smiled and didn't answer her words. Talking about the rights and wrongs of the boss behind his back is not what a good employee should do.
Min Ziwen returned to her small apartment, neatly took off her high heels, turned on the work computer she carried with her, and began to sit cross-legged on the carpet to deal with work.
Half an hour later, sure enough, Qiao Twilight's voice invitation came, and the two of them began to work on the workflow.
"You have two meetings to start tomorrow morning, and the details of the meeting have been sent to the mailbox. At noon, I want to have dinner with Mr. Chen, and I can't push it. ”
After a pause, seeing that Qiao Twilight had no intention of interrupting, Min Ziwen took a sip of water, listening to the subtle and clear breathing sound coming from the high-priced headphones, a smile appeared on her face, and her previous dissatisfaction in the car was well hidden.
"In the afternoon, you made an appointment with Mr. Bai for tea, and the proposed contract to be signed has been sent to your mailbox, and I will print it out and prepare it after confirming that it is correct. ”
"Well, hard work. ”
In the quiet environment, the low magnetic male voice is accurately transmitted to Min Ziwen's ears through the current of the headset, and there is no compressed original sound quality, even if he has heard it many times during the day, he still never gets tired of listening to it.
"This is all my business, and the things you asked me to check before have already been cleared, but I can't completely determine the candidate, only a few suspects. ”
With Qiao Dushi's condolences and encouragement, Min Ziwen quickly explained her list of suspicions as if she had been beaten with chicken blood.
The complete information has been sent to your mailbox, please pay attention to it. ”
"Okay, that's all for today, you can rest early. ”
After hanging up the voice, Min Ziwen exhaled, slowly sorted out all the work materials on the computer, turned off the computer, and began to take off her clothes and makeup.
The door clicked, and Min Ziwen, who was unbuttoning her underwear, stopped and looked at the door intently.
A few seconds later, a girl who was dressed seven points similar to Min Ziwen but was much more lively walked in, and saw that she was stunned for a moment in the living room, and quickly recovered.
"Sister, you're at home!"
Seeing that it was her sister Min Nanai, Min Ziwen's tense body relaxed and continued to take off her underwear.
"Well, just came back, where have you been?"
Min Ziwen asked casually, but Min Nanai stiffened, quietly glanced at her, and saw that there was no special reaction, so she responded.
"Oh, I'm playing with my friends, sister, I'm sleepy, let's go back to the room and sleep first." ”
When Qiao Dushi came to pick up Xu Ruoou, the sky had completely darkened, Xu Ruoou and his parents said that they wanted to go out with Jiang Jiu'er, and Xu's father and mother didn't interfere much.
Xu Ruoou, who was already out of the house, looked at the supercar listening not far away, her heart was beating hard, she patted her little face that was not as big as a palm, and trotted into the car.
"Hey, Mr. Joe! Mr. Joe is radiant today!"
Xu Ruoou, who made up his mind to please Qiao Twilight today, began to flamboyate as soon as he got in the car.
Joe Twilight's slender fingers gripping the steering wheel tightened, and she glanced at her expressionlessly.
"You really don't see that I have a wound on my face?"
Hearing Qiao Twilight say this, Xu Ruoou was shocked again, she felt that she might not have a good heart in the past two days, and she was always easily frightened, especially when she was with Qiao Twilight.
Thinking like this, Xu Ruoou looked over, and sure enough, there was a red mark on Qiao Dusk's white and tender little face.
If you don't take a closer look, you can't see it, and it is estimated that after a while, it will disappear.
"It's really hard for you, and it took a lot of effort to keep it, right?"
said that he would coax Qiao Twilight today, but this red mark made Xu Ruoou uncontrollable, and he was still stunned.
Listening carefully to Qiao Twilight's next tantrum, Xu Ruoou was in a nervous mood, and then waited for the sports car to start.
The injury on Qiao Dusk's face was actually that he accidentally rubbed it when he handed over the documents, and then his brain twitched, and he immediately decided to end his work and come to pick up Xu Ruoou.
In fact, his work schedule will be a little later.
Probably receiving Qiao Dusk's silent accusation, Xu Ruoou looked at him sincerely, his eyes were dotted, reflecting the dim lights on the side of the road.
"But can you be careful next time? Although this is only a minor injury, what if it is a serious injury next time? Mr. Qiao should take care of his body!"
Not to mention whether Xu Ruoou was concerned from the bottom of his heart, anyway, Qiao Twilight was satisfied, he hid this little satisfaction in his heart, and the car ran a long way with one foot on the accelerator, and his mood was much better.
"That person is Xi and Xi. ”
"I know. ”
Halfway through the meal, Qiao Dushi was finally willing to speak, and it was this content that made Xu Ruoou a little confused, and looked at him inexplicably.
"He is the second young master of the Xi family. ”
Joe Twilight sighed and explained further. As a result, Xu Ruoou still looked at him with a blank expression, with the three big words "then" written on his face.
"His brother is Siyus. ”
Qiao Twilight felt that he had spoken bluntly enough, but Xu Ruoou was still at a loss, which made him start to doubt himself, which sentence did he say wrong?
"You were also the heir of the Xu clan before, so you don't even know who Xi Yusi is, right?"
The mockery on Qiao Dusk's face was too heavy, and Xu Ruoou was so angry that he almost didn't splash the red wine on his face.
But I held back.
"I probably understand what Mr. Qiao means, but I think it's the same thing, Xi Yusi is Xi Yusi, Xi and Xi are Xi and Xi, they are independent individuals. ”
Xu Ruoou said righteously, and Qiao Twilight was almost convinced.
"Miss Xu really loves and hates clearly. ”
It's almost almost, and after Qiao Twilight was stunned for a while, she didn't know whether to praise her or hurt her.
Anyway, Xu Ruoou himself regarded it as a compliment.
Before the meal was finished, the waiter in the restaurant walked towards them with a large handful of red roses, Xu Ruoou glanced at it, and looked at Qiao Twilight in surprise.
Joe Twilight looked at her in the same amazement.
"Didn't you buy it?"
"You're here to curry favor with me?"
The two of them spoke in unison, and then looked to the side in unison, thinking about how to face the current embarrassment.
"Hello, this is a bouquet that our restaurant has entrusted to you by our customers, and we ask you to accept it. ”
The waiter respectfully handed over the flowers, along with a receipt that needed to be signed by Xu Ruoou.
I always felt that this bouquet of flowers was weird, Xu Ruoou signed and asked the other party who sent it, but the other party said that the customer asked for confidentiality.
Everyone said so, Xu Ruoou didn't want to dwell too much, and under Qiao Dusk's murderous gaze, he took out a small card the size of a palm from the center of the flower.
The content is nothing more than a fancy praise for Ruoou, and expressed his admiration for boxing, and the inscription says Xi and Xi.
Knowing who the person who sent the flowers was, Qiao Twilight was not calm, and watched the bouquet of flowers in silence and finished dinner in a hurry. took advantage of Xu Ruoou's bowing head to quickly send a message to Min Ziwen and asked her to prepare a large bouquet of flowers.
