Chapter 11: Suspicion (Gal. 7)
A few hours of deep sleep had already regained her spirits, and she sat up with her hands on the bed, leaning on the head of the bed, blinking, looking around, and then remembering where she was.
Because of the bad habit of pampering Tiange, she had the opportunity to live in the presidential suites of major high-end hotels in Zhonghai, all of which were magnificent and elegantly decorated, but after all, they were not home, which made people unable to rely on and feel safe.
In a trance, the man sitting not far away got up and walked out, and soon he turned back to the bedroom with an extra glass of milk in his hand.
Night Baby Ning took it and held it in her hand, and the warmth seeped out little by little through the wall of the cup.
She glanced at the clock on the wall, and then realized that she had slept too deeply, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening, and she had already missed dinner time.
Pet Tiange slowly leaned over and leaned on Ye Ying Ning's body, but he didn't do anything. is obviously full of thoughts, however, at this moment, his eyebrows are stretched, and it is clear that his thoughts are not revealed.
He didn't speak, and the night baby didn't move, hungry, and the milk in her hand was the best food, and she sipped it in small gulps, trying not to make a sound.
Even his friend Su Qingchi once said in private that he treated her very well, and in addition to his reputation, he would definitely not owe her anything. But Ye Ying Ning herself knows that her "favor" is just because she is the same kind of person as him: the same selfishness, suffering from gains and losses, and sensitive to the point of pathology.
This kind of temperament is not innate, but a kind of compromises that have been crawling in society for a long time, repeatedly weighing the pros and cons between gains and losses.
She knew when to speak, when to shut up, when to be high, when to flatter, just like an ancient courtier serving the king, staying by this man's side.
"Seeing that you are sleeping soundly, I am not willing to wake you up."
He raised his hand and habitually played with her hair, grabbed a strand and wrapped it around his fingers, slowly tightening it until his fingertips turned blue.
Night Baby Ning was still as obedient as a long-haired white cat, but she couldn't drink the milk in her hand, so she had to gently put it on the bedside table next to her.
Intuitively, Pet Tiange had something to say to her.
He has rarely had such a period of Ai Ai, and there must be an ulterior motive behind the rare detour.
"You obviously told me that you didn't want to go abroad, but I know that the Dao Luola Group has the intention to poach you to change jobs, and you also have the willingness to join."
There was not a single word of reproach in the words, but the tone was clearly accusatory.
Night Infant Ning moved uneasily, she knew very well that if she didn't let Tiange go, she couldn't go anywhere she wanted - he held her invisible wings, and once she broke them, she had nowhere to go.
"What's your attitude? The Lola Group is going to enter the mainland market this year, and perhaps my role is not in the US headquarters, but in charge of the Greater China region. β
She cautiously tried to say the guess in her heart, which happened to coincide with Fu Jinliang's statement.
"When he's gone, can't we be together well? Or do you still care about that certificate? β
Pet Tiange squeezed his eyebrows again in annoyance, Zhou Yang's temporary departure from Zhonghai is tantamount to a good thing, otherwise he is one, Fu Jinliang is the other, and neither of them is easy to deal with.
Night Infant Ning moved her lips, the milk she had just drunk churned in her stomach, she was silent for a long time, and walked out of bed to take a bath.
When she came out, Pet Tiange had already called for dinner, and there was actually an extremely sticky and cooked millet porridge, and he considered that she hadn't eaten well all day, so he specially ordered someone to prepare it.
This night, maybe it's because of the night baby Ning by his side, or maybe the newly replaced silk quilt is warm enough, the satin sheets are soft enough, and Pet Tiange sleeps very soundly.
And Night Baby Ning slept too much during the day, and in the second half of the night, she couldn't sleep anyway.
After tossing and turning a few times, she was worried about waking up the people around her, so she simply got up. The silence in the quiet suite makes people feel scared. In desperation, Ye Ying Ning saw a laptop on the table, plugged in the headphones and turned it on, and sat there boredly refreshing the web page over and over again.
From Weibo to Facebook, to Instagram and Twitter, she is all about passing the time.
Surprisingly, Ye Ying Ning actually found Hancy Leung's personal homepage, she was really idle, poked in it and flipped through them one by one.
After all, she is also a woman, and she is not uninterested in jewelry, fashion, perfume and makeup, and Hancy Leung likes to share beautiful private objects.
Suddenly, one of her states caught all her eyes - "Today I met my good friend Siobhan, whom I haven't seen for a long time, and I gave her my favorite 'Midnight Rose' as her wedding gift. The fiancΓ© is handsome, even though it's just a photo. Looking forward to a grand wedding in China! β
On the screen, there are a few dense lines of English, which are translated into vaguely the above content. But these are not enough, what really attracts Ye Ying Ning are the two accompanying pictures below the text.
One is a photo of Hancy Leung and Siobhan, also known as Fu Jinliang, and the other is a photo of a woman holding a man with her hand.
The well-trimmed nails have a creamy white base oil, delicate roses, and bewitching dark purple petals. And the photo that is being held in such a hand shows the side face of a man.
As soon as the familiar facial lines fell into her eyes, Ye Ying Ning could no longer breathe, she sat stiffly on the seat, still holding the mouse in her right hand, but the whole person was already unable to move.
Even if there is only one side face, and even the facial features can't be seen clearly, but this man, even if it is just a quick glance, she can't recognize it.
And this man is sleeping on the big bed behind her at the moment, and he is even slightly sleeping, sleeping soundly.
The entire world was completely silent.
The blood in his whole body was surging to the top of his head, and Ye Ying Ning closed his eyes, and there was still a trace of luck: perhaps, he had seen something wrong.
When she finally lifted her sour eyelids again, everything in front of her did not change at all - the photo in the woman's hand, the man's side face, the resolute lines, and the thin lips that were habitually tightened into a line......
I don't know how long it has been, the screen has turned black, it has become a screensaver mode, Ye Yingning's eyes looked at the LCD screen that suddenly darkened, completely indulged in a trance, and I don't know what to think.
She thought she had thought a lot, so many coincidences, so many intuitions, how many times she had brushed shoulders with the truth. Or perhaps, she should have thought of it a long time ago, but deep down in her heart, she didn't want such a result, so she stubbornly didn't touch any possible clues.
In fact, she didn't think about anything, her brain was empty for a while, like a summer afternoon, and a muffled thunder sounded from the sky without warning, shaking people's whole body numb.
"Pet Tiange ......"
Night Infant Ning muttered, and at this moment, these three words came out of his mouth, and it hurt like never before.
The palm of the right hand was already soaked with cold sweat, and it couldn't catch the mouse anymore, and with a "click", it fell down and fell to the floor, making a loud noise.
The sleeping pet Tiange turned over and woke up vigilantly, he stood up and sat up, without groping for Ye Ying Ning beside him, he was full of excitement, and said hoarsely: "Ying Ning?!" β
