Chapter 371: Peak Return (6)
With Wu Xiaomei here, Qiao Yingying has obviously relaxed a lot in the past two days, especially the heavy burden on her heart has been reduced, at least she doesn't have to wear a mask in front of her, there is someone to rely on.
It's just that the previous agreement with Xu Yuexi came to her mind like a dark cloud from time to time, making her uneasy and unable to fully make up her mind.
On this day, Wu Xiaomei immediately went to the hospital after work and brought a hot mutton soup.
Today, Qiao Yingying took Li Suxian to do a series of treatments and examinations, wiped her body, fed her, and still hasn't eaten much, seeing the bag in Wu Xiaomei's hand smelling the fragrance and taking it, untied the bag and couldn't wait to taste the soup.
"It smells so good!" She squinted her eyes and licked her tongue, her little face content and intoxicated.
"Let's eat." Wu Xiaomei pinched her face and said softly.
Qiao Yingying nodded, seeing that Li Suxian was still asleep peacefully on the bed, she took a big bite of it, obviously very hungry.
Wu Xiaomei was quietly watching her little face beside her, although she was still a little haggard, but her big eyes were shining, not dark and desperate, but clear and firm. She couldn't help but feel a trace of emotion in her heart.
"Yingying, now I know that you are much stronger than I thought. In other words, I am afraid that I would not be as optimistic and brave as you when encountering this kind of thing. She touched Qiao Yingying's head and said softly.
Qiao Yingying was finishing the last mouthful of soup, wiped her mouth with the back of her hand proudly, turned her head and smiled at Wu Xiaomei, and her tone was full of confidence: "Because I believe that there is no endless road, although my mother's illness is serious, but now that medical technology is so developed, it will definitely be fine." So as long as we hold on for a little longer, everything will be fine. ”
She said so surely, but Wu Xiaomei's heart sank slightly. Li Suxian's brain cancer is in the middle stage, and even if it is cured, his life expectancy is limited. But how do you tell her that?
"Yes, everything will be fine." She hugged Qiao Yingying's shoulders, endured the sourness on her nose, and said seriously.
A smile bloomed on Qiao Yingying's little face, remembering the thing she had been hesitating about, and suddenly she had an answer.
So on the afternoon of the appointment with Xu Yuexi, she asked Wu Xiaomei to take care of Li Suxian on her behalf, and went to the place where they agreed to meet.
*************
"What?! Do you want to repent? Xu Yue stood up from the chair and looked at Qiao Yingying in front of her with wide eyes and disbelief.
"yes, I don't think I can do that thing. Although the situation is very difficult, there may be other ways, and I don't want to give up easily. Qiao Yingying was a little ashamed of her backsliding, but her attitude was very firm. Although Xu Yuexi said the incident with euphemism, she just asked her to go to the hotel to accompany a guest, but she knew that it would not be easy to accompany a guest worth 800,000 yuan.
Xu Yuexi was about to carry it in one breath, and after pointing at Qiao Yingying for a long time, she stomped her feet and shook her hand and said, "But I gave you all the money, do you want to repay the debt?" ”
"Nope." Qiao Yingying hurriedly shook her head, "I will definitely pay you back these, maybe I can't do it in a short time, but I will definitely return it to you." ”
Xu Yuexi's chest rose and fell violently in anger, and after staring at her angrily for a while, she suddenly sat back in the chair as if deflated, and let out a long sigh.
"In that case, I can't force you. You don't have to pay back the money in a hurry, after all, you are a friend of Yuanzhou, and I won't be so stingy. She said to the waiter next to her, "Go and pour two glasses of red wine, remember, for the collector's edition." ”
She bit the second half of the sentence very hard, and the waiter was stunned, then nodded and immediately went to prepare two glasses of red wine, which were placed in front of her and Qiao Yingying.
Xu Yuexi picked up the wine glass and handed it to Qiao Yingying, and said uncharacteristically calmly and to the point: "I know that I was not friendly to you before, and I think you know the reason." But since you're Yuanzhou's friend and I'm his girlfriend, we can actually live in peace. Just drink this one if you want to, and see you later, we're friends. ”
Qiao Yingying was a little stunned, and only after a while did she raise her hand to take the wine glass in her hand and nodded lightly: "Okay." ”
Xu Yuexi smiled slightly, raised the glass and drank it all, Qiao Yingying pursed her lips, and then raised her head and drank the small half glass of wine.
"Is it good?" Xu Yuexi grinned, and her bright white teeth made Qiao Yingying feel dizzy.
"Well... Delicious. She rubbed her temples and wondered how she was a little drunk after just one drink. She looked up to ask what kind of wine it was, but her body went limp, and she fell to the ground with a thud.
Looking at Qiao Yingying, who had already fainted, Xu Yuexi raised her eyebrows with satisfaction, and waved her hand to the waiter next to her: "Find me a bigger cart that can hide people." ”
************
The annual board meeting of the School of Arts is held at the Hsu Family's Fengqing Hotel, a five-star hotel near the beach with a great view, and the directors stay overnight every time they come to the meeting, so the hotel reserves a room for each director.
With the help of her own staff, Xu Yuexi went up to the top floor from the freight elevator, pushed a big dining cart, and stopped at the door of a suite. She looked left and right, and when she saw that there was no one around, she took a card from her pocket, swiped it on the door, and opened it.
Pushing the food cart in and carefully closing the door, she continued to drag the cart to the bedroom. This suite has a huge floor-to-ceiling window, facing the sea view, and the whole hotel can't find a second room with such a wide view, she can't help but pout, and scolds Xu Jun a few words.
Pushing the dining cart into the room, she lifted the tablecloth on it, and she bent down to drag the person hidden inside out, and then moved it to the bed little by little, so tired that a layer of sweat broke out on her back.
Straightening her waist, she exhaled a long breath, frowning and staring at Qiao Yingying who was lying on the bed on her back, always feeling not very satisfied.
According to her original plan, Qiao Yingying should dress up well today and come back. But Qiao Yingying temporarily changed her mind, so she naturally forgot about it and dressed extra thickly.
"Hmph, whoever told you not to keep your word will reap the consequences." She wrinkled her nose and muttered, rolled up her sleeves and stepped forward to rip off Qiao Yingying's clothes one by one.
"It looks like a thin bamboo pole, and it's quite meaty." She looked at Qiao Yingying's smooth body in front of her, sighed twice, and then picked up the quilt next to her and covered her.
After dealing with the details again, she saw that the time was almost up, and clapped her hands and pushed the dining cart out of the room.
In the bedroom, Qiao Yingying slept soundly under the soft quilt.
************
In the café on the second floor of the hotel, Tang Miao looked at the approaching time on the wall, and was a little nervous in anticipation.
Guan Mufeng's whereabouts have been very uncertain recently, and the contact with her has been significantly reduced, although her attitude has not changed significantly, but the sense of distance that is not close but far away makes her anxious and uneasy. Moreover, the project that Tang Weiyuan invested in last time did not seem to go well, and his name was often mentioned in front of her. Although she didn't say it explicitly, she also understood that Tang Weiyuan wanted her to find an opportunity to ask Guan Mufeng.
After thinking about it, she felt that she couldn't wait like this, and she had to confirm the relationship with him as soon as possible and really come together. Thinking of this, she subconsciously touched a ring on her left hand, her breathing tightened slightly, and it took a while to calm down the tension.
About ten minutes later, a black Mercedes stopped in front of the hotel. Through the window, she clearly saw Guan Mufeng stepping down from the car, wearing a black coat, tall and straight, and his steps were firm and calm. Her heart pounded, she bit her lip lightly, and got up and walked to the elevator.
"Sir, the banquet hall is on the fourth floor, will you go to the room first?" The hotel waiter took his luggage and asked as he guided.
"No need, go directly to the fourth floor, you can help me send my luggage into the room." Guan Mufeng looked at the watch time and said lightly.
"Okay." The waiter answered and pressed the elevator button.
With a "ding", the elevator door opened quickly, and Guan Mufeng paused when he saw the figure slowly revealing inside.
The people inside also seemed to be surprised, staring at him with their mouths slightly open for a long time before whispering: "Guan... Mr. Guan? ”
"Miss Tang." Guan Mufeng quickly came back to his senses and nodded at her, the corners of his mouth curled up with a polite and polite arc, "Why are you here?" ”
"My studio and I came here to shoot some magazine covers and promotional photos, Mr. Guan, are you...?" Tang Miao asked curiously.
"Participate in the Board of Directors of the Academy of Arts." Guan Mufeng explained briefly, and after a pause, he continued, "Miss Tang can go with you if she wants." ”
Tang Miao's eyes lit up slightly, and then he hesitated: "Is it okay?" Won't it disturb your meeting? ”
"No, it won't." Guan Mufeng smiled faintly, walked into the elevator, and went to the banquet hall on the fourth floor with her.
Sure enough, the atmosphere of the so-called board meeting was not serious, but relaxed like a private party. Principal Lin and the other directors were talking while paying attention to the door, and when they saw Guan Mufeng's figure, they immediately greeted him. When they noticed that there was another Tang Miao next to him, several directors were obviously surprised, and then they remembered the previous news rumors, and they were all relieved, and naturally greeted each other, with a very enthusiastic attitude.
Last year, Guan Mufeng spent a lot of money, which greatly reduced the financial pressure on the school, not only expanded part of the campus, renovated the old teaching building, but also left a surplus. This board meeting can not worry about money, everyone is naturally much more relaxed, and it is even more important to maintain a good relationship with him.
Tang Miao listened to the polite and warm tone of these directors, and the gaze that fell on Guan Mufeng became more and more adoring and infatuated, until the voice calling her name came from her ear, and she came back to her senses.
"Yuexi." She turned around and saw Xu Yuexi, who was looking at her with a smile.
"Miao Miao, are you really here with Mr. Guan?" Xu Yuexi glanced at Guan Mufeng's back next to her, squeezed her eyebrows and said.
Tang Miao didn't deny it, and hummed softly, with a sweet smile in her eyebrows.
Xu Yuexi chuckled in her heart, secretly thinking about this pill. She had a ghost idea in her stomach for a while, but she didn't have a clue, so she had to laugh and say casually: "Oh, when your relationship was spread all over the sky before, Mr. Guan didn't come forward to admit it, I thought it was nonsense, but it turned out to be true." But why did you tell me now, I was still shocked. ”
Tang Miao's smile paused slightly, a touch of embarrassment and displeasure crossed her heart, and she smiled faintly: "Mu Feng, he has always been low-key, and no one knows about our affairs. ”
"Oh, that's right." Xu Yuexi nodded absentmindedly, picked up the cup and drank the juice slowly, while quickly thinking about how to make the plan go smoothly. And her casual appearance fell in Tang Miao's eyes, as if she was questioning her words, so she couldn't help but clench her hands and grit the root of her teeth.
Touching the ring on her hand, she finally made up her mind, swept her eyes to the drink stand next to her, and walked over.
As soon as she left with her front foot, Xu Jun pulled Xu Yuexi with her back foot to talk to Guan Mufeng, she turned her head to see this scene, only coldly bent the corner of her lower lip, and took off the ring quietly.
After some talking, Guan Mufeng's throat was slightly dry, and a slender hand handed over a glass of warm water.
"Drink some water to moisten your throat." Tang Miao's soft voice sounded, he thanked him softly, took the cup and took a sip.
With that mouthful of liquid pouring into his throat, Tang Miao heard the thunderous heartbeat in his ears finally subside, and his back was already soaked with sweat.
She stopped panicking, regained her composure, and silently followed him, waiting for the moment to come.
Half an hour later, Guan Mufeng really felt a little uncomfortable, apologized to everyone, and left the banquet hall. Her heartbeat accelerated again, and she was about to open her mouth and propose to leave, but was stopped by Xu Yuexi.
"Miao Miao, Yuan Zhou is going to break up with me." Looking at the back of Guan Mufeng leaving, Xu Yuexi had an idea as soon as her heart moved, pulled Tang Miao aside, and told her heart with a sad face.
As long as Miao Miao is dragged down, and when the raw rice upstairs is cooked and cooked, the mirror is broken and reunited, and the old love is rekindled, she is done! She thought silently in her heart, grasping Tang Miao's hand more firmly.
In the room on the top floor, Guan Mufeng stood in front of the window, looking at the distant sea view and trying to calm down, but the inexplicable heat all over his body did not subside at all. He finally ran out of patience, reached out and tore off his tie and threw it on the sofa, unbuttoning his clothes while striding into the bathroom. He hurried his steps, not paying attention to the shallow breathing in the bedroom that didn't belong to him.
The slightly cool water poured on his body only gave him a moment of relief, and then the hot fire in his body burned more and more like gasoline. He couldn't help frowning, and finally noticed something unusual, and his slightly misty gaze suddenly sharpened, filled with dangerous anger.
This kind of indiscriminate tactics were used on him, and he wanted to find out who was so bold.
Reaching out to turn off the water, he pulled the bath towel and wrapped it casually, then walked out of the bathroom and walked to the landline phone at the bedside.
"Check out which female guests are staying at the Fengqing Hotel today. Tell me in half an hour. After a brief conversation, he hung up the phone, and when he got up, his eyes flashed and his brows furrowed fiercely when his eyes swept over the slightly undulating quilt.
"Who's in there?" The ups and downs of the quilt were obviously the rhythm of breathing, and he said in a deep voice, and a trace of doubt crossed his handsome face.
No one responded.
After a moment of waiting, he finally lost his patience and jerked out his hand to lift the entire quilt.
A fresh and tender body like a freshly peeled bamboo shoot caught his eye, although only the back still made him breathe, and then his eyes became colder, and his expression was like frost.
"Whoever asked you to come, I'll give you three seconds to disappear. Get lost. Suppressing the desire to stir up again in his body, his voice was as deep as a black cloud, and anyone who listened to it would feel oppressed and afraid.
But the person on the bed still didn't leave consciously, and even hummed twice arrogantly, turned over and continued to sleep, his small rosy lips pursed gently, as if to protest against his disturbing voice.
In an instant, Guan Mufeng's whole person was like a lightning strike, and he stood in front of the bed in a daze, his eyes glued to the little face in front of him, and he didn't move a minute for a long time.
How could she be here? Still in such a way? Who designed it? Or is she directing and acting herself? These questions that he should have thought about only flashed through his mind for a moment, and then there was no follow-up. Those thick thoughts that were pressed in the bottom of his heart were all released in front of the beauty he was most familiar with, and in an instant, his sanity and composure were swallowed up, and only a raging fire remained.
He leaned down slightly to get closer to her, his fingertips couldn't help but sweep over her soft face, and the next second he kissed her on the lips. Taste the shalf, the deeper it gets...
