055、
Tong Qiangqiang stared at him intently, raised his arm, wrapped it around his neck, and called him glutinously: "Uncle......"
"Huh?" Han Lie responded to her in his usual sexy guttural voice.
Tong Qiangqiang took the initiative to send his nephrite warm fragrance a little clumsily, and immediately blushed and said, "I like you very much." Like you a little more every day than the day before. ”
Han Lie's eyes flashed at the shy and serious expression on her face, and he said with a smile, "I know." ”
"What about you?" Tong Qiangqiang met his dark and wet eyes, and asked nervously and cautiously: "Do you like me even a little? Not because of my relationship with the Zhong family, not because of the child in my belly, but simply treating me as a woman." At least...... At least you don't hate me......"
Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken her with him all the time, he wouldn't have cared about her, he wouldn't kiss her, he wouldn't have said to her, let her try to capture him, would he? He's not the kind of person who would force himself to do something he didn't like. Tong Qiangqiang believes that his logic is not wrong.
Han Lie looked at her steadily. Her eyes were like black jade sunk at the bottom of the water, shimmering with sparkling waves, clear and clear. His heart moved slightly inexplicably.
Tong Qiangqiang only felt that his eyes suddenly darkened, his tall shadow slowly pressed down, and a deep voice with a hot temperature poured into her ears: "Yes." ”
A simple but powerful word. She didn't even understand whether he replied "I like her a little bit too" or "at least I don't hate her". However, Tong Qiangqiang did not continue to ask, and he had no time to ask.
Her thoughts were completely stagnant on the tip of Han Lie's tongue.
He kissed her hard. Rinsing back and forth in her lips. Fine, dense kisses stretched from her lips to her cheeks to her ears. He wrapped his palm around her waist and slipped through the open zipper at her waist.
This trend is like continuing what was not done last night. Tong Qiangqiang is still willing, and even he has his own desires, and he is more mentally prepared than yesterday.
However, when she was so soft that she almost turned into water, Han Lie got up and left her.
Tong Qiangqiang looked at him in confusion with watery eyes.
Han Lie's eyes lit up, making it impossible to detect his true emotions, he was silent for two seconds, stretched out his finger and twitched the corner of her mouth: "Rest." I have to catch a flight tomorrow. ”
He said so, Tong Qiangqiang couldn't be cheeky, and nodded obediently: "Good night, uncle." ”
The corners of Han Lie's mouth curved and he stepped out.
Tong Qiangqiang's gaze withdrew from the closed door, fell to his bulging lower abdomen, and pursed his lips.
Probably because she still has a drag oil bottle in her stomach......
Wasn't that what this little guy interrupted last night?
***
Han Lie returned to his room, opened the window, and leaned against the bed. Stand quietly.
The night is lonely and the night breeze is rippling. His face was hidden in the shadows, and he couldn't see clearly.
Suddenly, he raised his wrist and looked at his watch, silently calculated the time difference in his heart, and then touched it from the table and dialed an international number.
It rang for about ten seconds, and the other side connected: "Mr. Han." ”
"Where's Miss Zeng?"
"The doctor is accompanying her for rehabilitation. ”
"How's she doing?"
"Miss Zeng is in a very good condition, very cooperative with the treatment, the negative emotions have been alleviated compared to before, the number of episodes has also decreased a lot, and now she can survive without painkillers. ”
As soon as the words fell, I heard another female voice in the background ask, "Is it Han Lie?"
Soon the other party grabbed the phone: "Han Lie!"
Han Lie turned around and turned his back to the window: "Yes." ”
"You haven't called me for more than half a month. The woman's voice was full of resentment.
Han Lie explained lightly: "Didn't you just have an operation? ”
"It's because I just had surgery that you should call me more, I listen to your voice, and I can get better faster. ”
"Fool. A smile spread across Han Lie's face, "I'm not a doctor. ”
"Your words work better than a doctor. ”
The smile on Han Lie's face was even stronger.
"By the way, the doctor said that according to my current recovery, I will be discharged from the hospital soon!"
"Well, I'll pick you up. ”
"Why didn't I hear you happy for me?" the female voice lowered slightly, and then said, "This time, don't leave me here alone." I want you to be by my side. I know your business in Rongcheng is not over yet. But it doesn't matter, when I fully recover, I can go back to Rongcheng to accompany you. Then you can't drive me away again. ”
Han Lie tugged at the corners of his lips: "Okay, I won't drive you away again......"
***
When the week-long trip to Australia finally came to an end, Tong Qiangqiang and Han Lie had to return to Sydney from the Hunter Valley to take a flight.
Before leaving, Mr. Smith gave Tong Qiangqiang a photo of the four of them the night before.
Mr. Smith grimaced, and Mrs. Smith gracefully wrapped her arms around Mr. Smith's arm. She stood beside Han Lie with a smile on her face, her head slightly tilted to Han Lie's side, the taro-colored high-waisted bandeau dress was quite photogenic, and the jade pendant around her neck matched her fair complexion.
Mr. Smith and Mrs. Smith were unable to send them off because they still had something to do, so they had to say goodbye. Mrs. Smith regretted, "I don't know when we'll see each other again." ”
Tong Qiangqiang felt that it was quite simple to meet: "Aren't Mr. Smith and Zhong still working together on a project?
Mrs. Smith hesitated, was silent, and sighed: "Revisiting the old land, it's too easy to recall the old things......"
Hearing this, Tong Qiangqiang estimated that he had made Mrs. Smith sentimental, and couldn't help but apologize. But she still hasn't figured out what happened to Mrs. Smith's daughter. She still remembered that the cheongsam was originally given to her daughter by Mrs. Smith, wasn't it?
Curiosity is curiosity, and she didn't dare to ask easily, which only increased Mrs. Smith's sadness, after all, she was still someone's **. Swallowing his words, Tong Qiangqiang turned to say: "I didn't have time to say goodbye to Mrs. Liang last night, if you have the opportunity, please help me greet her." ”
Mrs. Smith's eyebrows added another thought: "I am going to see her again in the afternoon." ”
Over there, Han Lie and Mr. Smith didn't know what they were talking about, their expressions were very serious, especially Mr. Smith glanced at Mrs. Smith intentionally or unintentionally, and his expression was quite solemn.
Mrs. Smith didn't seem to notice this, and continued to chatter with Tong Qiangqiang: "I look at your calves and they seem to be starting to swell. It's the first person I've ever seen who started edema so early. Although the physique of the individual is different, but when you go home. It is better to go for a prenatal check-up and understand your physical condition. ”
Tong Qiangqiang touched his stomach and nodded cautiously.
Mrs. Smith stroked Tong Qiangqiang's hair: "I can see that you like Han Lie very much." I don't know what's going on between you and Han Lie. Originally, I shouldn't have been too talkative, but I can't help but remind you that no matter how much a woman loves a man, she must keep the last piece of armor for herself. ”
Tong Qiangqiang flashed his gaze slightly.
"Well, I'm getting more and more verbose now. Mrs. Smith laughed at herself, and then said, "Okay." Let's go, it's almost time. ”
Tong Qiangqiang hugged Mrs. Smith, and then got into the car to the airport with Han Lie.
Arrived in Rongcheng at nine o'clock in the evening. Mai Xiuze came to pick them up in person, and as soon as he saw Tong Qiangqiang, he looked her up and down unscrupulously, and finally the slender peach blossom eyes narrowed with a smile, and his gaze lingered on the softness of her chest: "It seems to be moisturized well." ”
Tong Qiangqiang almost wanted to kill Mai Xiuze, so he turned his head and asked Han Lie, "Can we change the driver?"
Mai Xiuze heard that something was wrong: "Why am I becoming your driver, the big boss of my dignified company came to pick you up, and you still -"
Before he could finish speaking, Han Lie nodded: "It's totally okay." ”
Then the two went straight past Mai Xiuze and went to take a taxi.
Mai Xiuze: "......"
In fact, in the end, I took Mai Xiuze's car. Han Lie didn't know what trick he used to block Mai Xiuze's chattering mouth.
Tong Qiangqiang couldn't wait and was a little timid to turn on the machine - during this time in Sydney, she really completely left everything behind and didn't take the initiative to find out how the situation had developed now.
With a shake of his hand, the machine didn't start, but dropped it. Tong Qiangqiang was about to pick it up, and Han Lie quickly helped her pick it up. When he returned it to her, he said, "Actually, it's nothing to look at." ”
Tong Qiangqiang looked at Han Lie. She blocked information from the outside world, which did not mean that Han Lie was also isolated from the world.
"Neither of us is a big star in the entertainment industry. The reason why netizens pay attention to our posts is actually to have a desire to spy on the secrets of the wealthy, the two of us are just the fuse, what they really want to dig deep into is the Zhong family, it is the Zhong family. Moreover, in the information age, information is updated very quickly, and several big news a day quickly attract attention. ”
Tong Qiangqiang was stunned when he heard this, and asked after Han Lie's words fell, "So what?"
Han Lie waved at Tong Qiangqiang at the countless call reminders and message notifications on his screen, and his eyes narrowed slightly: "The old man can't find us, he is probably so angry that he is about to vomit blood, probably thinking that the two of us eloped." ”
Tong Qiangqiang was anxious - how could he feel that it was better to stay in Australia and not come back? I forgot that the limelight of the scandal had passed for the time being, but Zhong Yuanshan's idea of dealing with her must still be there, so that the future troubles could be eliminated.
Back to the apartment. They were greeted by a fragrant supper prepared by Ah Hua, as well as ...... The stupid dog who almost barked at her.
Tong Qiangqiang didn't understand, it was obvious that she picked it up and took it home, and it was just that the pork belly didn't kiss her, after all, her status as a pregnant woman did hinder her emotional communication with it, but she didn't see her for a few days, so she completely treated her as a stranger, right?
What's even more resentful is that Han Lie was not there during this time, not only did it not affect the pork belly's familiarity with him, but even Xiao Biesheng's newlywed place became more and more intimate.
Look at it, it can't wait to hold on to Han Lie.
A veritable dogleg!
***
Although Han Lie had already told her roughly, and she knew that going to browse those news would only add to her own blockage, before going to bed at night, Tong Qiangqiang couldn't help but search to see how the scandal evolved during the time she was away.
I don't know if I don't look at it, but I'm really scared when I look at it.
She remembered that before she went to Sydney, the gossip had dug up the romance of Zhong Yuanshan's early years. In the follow-up, he even told how Zhong Yuanshan favored Han Lie, the lost and recovered illegitimate son, and confidently speculated that Han Lie would soon replace Zhong Wenhao as the heir of the Zhong family.
And Zhong Wenhao seems to have become a victim of everything. Compared with being ridiculed by netizens for cuckolding and wearing it to his home at the beginning, a team was launched on the Internet to fight for Zhong Wenhao, denouncing Han Lie's shamelessness and greed.
and mixed with some other gossip, it is to pick up the legend of how Hu Xiaoting hooked up with Zhong Jie from a night girl and killed the original partner to succeed in taking the position.
Now there is nothing to do with her Tong Qiangqiang, and the spearhead is all aimed at Han Lie, although there are other news that have stolen the heat of the Zhong family scandal, but they are attacked by Han Lie. has shifted from simple wealthy gossip to the contempt and exclusion of peers. The media that had praised Han Lie before had all changed their direction, and collectively believed that if a person's character went wrong, then no matter how high his talent and ability he was, he was not worthy of being admired.
Tong Qiangqiang couldn't sleep at all.
Catching the sound of someone walking outside, Tong Qiangqiang sat up, lifted his quilt and got out of bed, opened the door, and tiptoed out.
Han Lie was pouring water from the kitchen, sandwiched between his ears and shoulders. I don't know who I'm talking to on the phone, but he listens more time, occasionally answering with "um", "I see", etc., and the pork belly keeps rubbing against him at his feet.
Soon, he hung up the phone, put the kettle back in the refrigerator, turned around, and frowned at Tong Qiangqiang: "Why haven't you slept yet?"
"It's not. Tong Qiangqiang shook his head and twisted his fingers. Asked, "Why is someone calling you so late?"
"It's the old man. ”
In fact, she just found a random topic to cut into first, but she didn't expect to get such a heavyweight answer, and she couldn't help but be stunned. Thinking that Zhong Yuanshan came to ask where they had disappeared for a week, Tong Qiangqiang asked directly: "What did Grandpa Zhong say?"
Han Lie said, "I must also attend the 36th anniversary celebration of the Zhong Group tomorrow." ”
Tong Qiangqiang was stunned again. Because of the scandal, the 36th anniversary celebration of the Chung Group was postponed for three days, just tomorrow.
She actually didn't understand it, as it was. Wouldn't letting Han Lie attend again would give the media more opportunity to ask about gossip? However, after thinking about it, she figured it out again, gathering everyone and showing a harmonious family in front of the media may be the best way to break the scandal.
But Tong Qiangqiang also noticed that what Han Lie said just now was that Zhong Yuanshan asked him to attend as well, and did not mention her. So she is the sensitive person who can't appear in front of everyone after all.
When she was distracted, Han Lie had already come to her, and instead of continuing the topic just now, she asked instead, "Ah Hua said that you want to go for a prenatal checkup tomorrow?"
Tong Qiangqiang recalled his thoughts and nodded.
"I've been tired enough these days, you really should check it out. I've already made a doctor's appointment for you. Han Lie patted the back of her head, "Go and rest." ”
"Then you ...... tomorrow," Tong Qiangqiang wanted to speak, but stopped him. Han Lie seemed to understand what she was worried about, and explained lightly: "The old man has his own preparations, and I am just responsible for going through the motions and cooperating with him." ”
After speaking, Han Lie walked back to the bedroom.
Tong Qiangqiang looked at his back and sighed softly.
Forget it, let's go to sleep obediently, she really can't help much. is curious, how Zhong Yuanshan will explain the relationship between her and Han Lie and Zhong Wenhao tomorrow. And, after hiding for a week, she finally had to prepare to face Zhong Yuanshan......
***
Zhong Zhai, Zhong Wenhao had just confirmed with Zhong Jie that he was going back to the bedroom after confirming the details of tomorrow's celebration, and he met Zhu Jinhua who came out of An Lu's room.
An Lu's mental state was not completely stabilized in the first place. often woke up at night, and when it was placed in Hou Ling's house, it was not a toss. But there was probably a quarrel with An Jinghong that day, and Zhong Zhai was a strange place to An Lu, so there were more quarrels. Since she moved in, Zhu Jinhua has taken care of her and has hardly slept well.
Zhong Wenhao looked at Zhu Jinhua's tiredness and felt very guilty: "Mom, you can't guard her by yourself and let your subordinates help more." ”
Zhu Jinhua frowned: "Where can the people in the family appease her? It's not that you don't know, she only recognizes you, me and Hou now-"
Halfway through speaking, she swallowed Hou Ling's name.
Zhong Wenhao still felt sorry for his mother, and said: "But it's always like this, you can't bear it." ”
"Otherwise, what should I do?" Zhu Jinhua rubbed his neck, "No matter how hard it is, it will only be a few months, as long as the child lands safely." And it was liberated. ”
Then she remembered and asked, "That brother of Lulu, did he look for you later? Why is there no news?"
"He doesn't have any news, isn't it?" Zhong Wenhao waved his hand and muttered: "If he doesn't come to me, I won't be in a hurry to marry An Lu...... It's best to delay until Anlu gives birth, and it also saves the ...... of getting married and getting divorced."
"Hide this kind of thing in my stomach in the future!Don't say it!" Zhu Jinhua glared at Zhong Wenhao, and then said, "I always feel that Lulu's brother has disappeared a little strangely these days. Doesn't he love deer very much?"
Zhong Wenhao didn't care: "An Lu said that at the time, he probably couldn't pull his face as an elder brother, right? What's more, didn't the old man talk to An Jinghong? ”
Zhu Jinhua was still not at ease, and reminded Zhong Wenhao: "During the critical period, you can't serve snacks? Lulu's brother, you hurry up and take the time to explore the situation." Save yourself any more trouble, and then you will have to panic again. In the end, she couldn't help but scold, "Why don't you know how to eat a trench and grow wise?"
After all, the boss is a person, and Zhong Wenhao is a little embarrassed for a while.
Zhu Jinhua turned back to him and asked, "There is also tomorrow's 36th anniversary, and I don't know if the old man has contacted Han Lie." But whether he's there tomorrow or not, you can't say a word about him in front of outsiders. Recently, most of the public opinion has been tilted in your favor. It's not a good thing. Don't you think it's strange? It seems like someone is behind you to help you? Wen Hao, this-"
"Mom, okay, you're thinking too much. It would be a good thing if someone really helped me secretly. Zhong Wenhao interrupted Zhu Jinhua, grabbed her shoulders, and pushed her, "Go and rest, otherwise you will be tired under the lens of major media tomorrow?"
Zhu Jinhua saw Zhong Wenhao's impatience, took a breath, and finally didn't speak again.
Zhong Wenhao also went back to his room, thinking about Zhu Jinhua's words.
Regarding the recent exposure of the Tong Qiangqiang and Han Lie scandals, except for Hou Ling, no one knows that he is behind the scenes. Now it has basically achieved the effect he wants. He is proud of himself.
However, even if he asked Hou Ling to stop in time at that time. still failed to stop the gossip that later involved the second uncle and two aunts, and the old man was ridiculed by netizens for several days.
Unexpectedly, what he was worried about about Han Lie exposing him did not happen. And netizens are supporting him more and more.
Especially seeing that Han Lie's previous elite image was attacked overnight, he could wake up with a smile every night when he went to bed. He even suspected that Han Lie was really fascinated by Tong Qiangqiang, and he didn't even want a career, so the dog and the man eloped together.
Of course, what he remembered was that Tong Qiangqiang had not signed the divorce agreement.
Zhu Jinhua is worried about the problem that public opinion tends to be too one-sided, and he really thinks that she is unfounded. She had no idea that his work in the company was much smoother now than it had been in the past. Moreover, aren't all netizens like this? The grass on the wall fell on the side, and Hou Ling just helped him run the wave of people at the beginning, and there were a steady stream of people who defected later.
The worse Han Lie's reputation becomes, the more secure his position will be!
Thinking about it like this, Zhong Wenhao felt much more at ease.
***
The next morning, Tong Qiangqiang slept a little late, and when he got up, Han Lie had already gone out.
After Tong Qiangqiang packed up, Ah Hua accompanied him to the hospital.
Because she had moved out of the Zhong family, especially when Zhu Jinhua secretly extracted fetal hair for her for paternity testing, she changed doctors.
The new doctor was arranged for her by Han Lie, and her previous prenatal examination information was also transferred to the new doctor. Tong Qiangqiang focused on the problem of her edema with the doctor.
The doctor examined her and advised her to have her amniotic fluid removed.
Tong Qiangqiang was shocked: "Is there something wrong with the baby?"
"I haven't noticed any major problems for the time being, but some pregnant women will start to have edema very early. But your edema seems to have a tendency to go over your knees, which is a bit inappropriate at this stage of the month. For the sake of your baby's health, this is a suggestion for you, because pumping amniotic fluid can provide an in-depth measure of your baby's health, and don't get me wrong, pumping amniotic fluid will not hurt you and your baby. Of course, if you don't want to, I won't force you to find out in other ways. ”
Tong Qiangqiang bit his lip, a little hesitant in his heart. Amniotic fluid pumping is, after all, an operation.
But when the doctor talked about this, she didn't worry about the child in her belly.
After hesitating again and again, Tong Qiangqiang still agreed.
