53 Despair

The sky was clear, but the damp smell of the room was everywhere, as if there was a thin layer of moss in the corner, sticky, and about to spread to people.

The delicate sunlight penetrated the window, but the quilt was heavy, Ning Die felt that this sinking was pressing on her chest, her breath was short, and there was a thick dampness in her nose.

"Lan Xin," she dropped the script, stepped on the soft white hairball-decorated slippers and shouted, and when Lan Xin ran over quickly, she pointed behind her, "Take everything here outside to dry, the house smells of dampness." โ€

Lan Xin went to clean up the bed and sniffed carefully, "Miss Ning, the bed is changed and washed every day, someone is drying it on a good day, and someone is drying it on a rainy day, and someone is drying it on the stove when it rains, I smell okay." โ€

Ning Die walked around to the table and poured herself a cup of tea, "Is this where I'm sleeping or are you sleeping?" โ€

Lan Xin pouted and didn't dare to talk, today's Miss Ning didn't look very good, and she was talking strangely to crowd people, she neatly hugged the quilt and sheets and went downstairs.

The room was quiet, and Ning Die put the teacup back on the table, feeling so boring.

Coming to this Huo Mansion was only two months, Ning Die closed his eyes, these two months were so long, in contrast, Ning Die's first ten years of life in the southwest almost faded to gray and white.

Unable to read the script, she leaned on the handrail of the balcony, buried half of her face in the crook of her arm, and let the gentle wind blow through the exposed two white lotus-like arms.

"Listen to Lan Xin say that you are in a bad mood." The footsteps from behind stopped, Ning Die didn't turn her head to know who was back, no one could be like Huo Cheng, just talking lightly, and the suffocating sense of oppression was pervasive.

Ning Die ignored it, and couldn't figure out who she was angry with.

"You saw the morning paper." Huo Cheng approached, and Ning Die knew that he must be laughing, and the smile was mostly mean.

"What? Nothing to say to me? Huo Cheng wrapped Ning Die from behind, and his chin rested on Ning Die's shoulder.

His tone was full of coldness, and Ning Die suddenly felt that the newspaper was deliberately placed there for her to see, so Ning Die sneered: "If I say, I don't mind you finding another woman for an affair at all, and even happy in my heart, I wish you were pestering others, so as to let me go!" โ€

These words are the final โ–กโ–ก of this cold war, Huo Cheng was already uncontrollably pinching Ning Die's chin, lip to lip, teeth knocking teeth, he noticed that Ning Die was struggling in pain, he was even more crazy, he just wanted Ning Die to be in pain, what is the heartache alone.

A tingling pain spread on the tip of his tongue, he suddenly pushed Ning Die away, blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, he wiped it off with the tip of his thumb, staggered back two steps, and said with a smile: "Very good, very good, you dare to bite me." โ€

He turned around as he spoke, and stepped across the door of the room without hesitation, the graceful new suit on his body actually set off an unspeakable downfall, after the violent struggle just now, Ning Die gasped for breath, she couldn't stop tears in her eyes, thinking that Huo Cheng might kiss her on the lips of other women he had kissed, she was both disgusted and ashamed.

This trouble, Huo Cheng stayed outside for a few days, and the Southwest Lace News reported his affair one after another, although there was a catch, but this lace newspaper was sold out for a few days.

Most of the people who buy these newspapers are women, and what woman can resist the charm of a handsome man, even if the man is hugging someone else to drink to drown his sorrows.

Huo Cheng didn't return tonight, Lan Xin made a mistake with chattering, Ning Die came back from the play, she whispered in Ning Die's ear: "This second young master won't come back tonight, there will be movement over there in the old mansion, Miss Ning, you go and persuade the second young master, drink and hurt your body, how can the second young master stand it if it goes on like this." โ€

Ning Die rubbed her brows, the people in the crew heard the wind outside, and intentionally or unintentionally tested whether Ning Die had fallen out of favor, she had to deal with those things when she was filming, and there was still a chatter waiting when she returned to the mansion.

"You have to persuade yourself to go, the driver will take you to Paramount Gate, so that others can see that the second young master of the Huo family is drunk and let the maid of the family persuade him, tomorrow will be the first-class joke in the gossip magazine."

Lan Xin kept his mouth shut, as if he couldn't say it, his eyes kept chasing Ning Die's back until Ning Die went upstairs and disappeared around the corner.

Huo Cheng is not there, this Huo Mansion is naturally much cleaner, there are no guests who can't leave for a long time, the supper in the kitchen is withdrawn until midnight, and the two hunting dogs at the big iron gate can't wait for the sound of the car whistle to look listless.

Ning Die lay on the bed and flipped through the books, she didn't feel sleepy for a long time, and she unconsciously thought of the figure of Huo Cheng staggering away that day, such a proud man, there will be such a time.

"Miss Ning, go and persuade the second young master, drinking will hurt your body......"

Lan Xin's words echoed repeatedly in her ears, Ning Die turned over irritably, and after a few more flips, she uncovered the quilt and got out of bed, poured tea and drank it.

A few glasses of water belly, restless.

Just as Ning Die was about to start a liver fire, an old mother outside the door politely asked, "Is Miss Ning asleep?" โ€

"What's the matter?"

"Mr. Li is calling."

Ning Die opened the door, put on her coat and went downstairs to the living room to answer the phone, and the pendulum clock in the corner was swinging towards eleven o'clock.

"Miss Ning, I'm sorry to disturb your dreams so late." Li Hao on the other end of the phone was still polite.

"What's the urgency of Mr. Li?"

"Mr. Huo, he has not been in the office of the institution these days, and there are several important documents that he needs to deal with urgently at the moment, but ......" Li Hao said embarrassed on the day of the call, "Mr. Huo is drunk, and now no one can persuade him." โ€

Ning Die was silent and didn't speak, and was silent for more than ten seconds, Li Hao hurriedly said: "If the document is not processed tonight, it will affect the lives of tens of thousands of brothers on the front line......

"Mr. Li," Ning Die sighed, "you can't help but think too highly of me, I can't bear such a heavy burden." โ€

Li Hao seemed to be groaning.

Ning Die is afraid that it is not so easy to move.

"Just once, I'll only help this once." Ning Die's words fell, and Li Hao came back to his senses for a long time, and thanked him anxiously: "Miss Ning, you're sorry." โ€

Ning Die put down the microphone, sighed that her ears were soft, and called the old mother just now: "Aunt Wu, ask the driver to prepare the car." โ€

To persuade the second young master to come back, the people in the mansion who knew were all happy, the cold air pressure in this mansion for a few days was finally going to be dispersed, Lan Xin was cleaning in the side room, and the people immediately rushed out to follow, Ning Die smiled and nodded her forehead, "Then wait for a place, what is the little girl going to." โ€

With this smile, Ning Die's face was extremely smart, Lan Xin looked panicked Ning Die walked out of the hall, Lan Xin touched his forehead and smiled: "Miss Ning is always in a better mood." โ€

In the middle of the night, it is the time when Paramount is lively, and the car arrives at the magnificent gate of Paramount, and the sound of music on the dance floor pours outside.

The driver parked the car, Ning Die pushed the car door, and no one needed to lead the way, and walked all the way to the depths of Paramount alone.

The light was chaotic, she stepped on high-heeled shoes, and came out in a hurry, she only simply covered a wide-sleeved short coat with a white fox collar on the outside of her cheongsam, and her hair was still the short hair that reached her chin, slightly curled in, she did not apply rouge, and Qingli did not lose to the well-dressed beauties present.

So when she found Huo Cheng on the small dance floor at the VIP on the second floor and grabbed Huo Cheng's wrist, everyone's first reaction was to marvel at her temperament and beauty, and then to think of her bold behavior.

Huo Cheng was sitting on the dimly lit sofa by the dance floor, next to the space separated by a delicate small screen, the two gorgeous women kept persuading Huo Cheng to drink, and when they saw Ning Die suddenly appearing, they all stood up:

"Hey!"

"Miss, there is a first come, first come, first come."

Who doesn't know that Mr. Huo is famous for his generosity, pleasing him, and not worrying about the expenses for a few months.

Ning Die ignored the two women, and only grabbed the cuffs of Huo Cheng's suit, "Li Hao is waiting for you to go back to the office now, the situation is urgent, you can't drink anymore." โ€

The light was too dim, looking down on Huo Cheng's expression, he seemed to be smiling, lying on the sofa and looking up at Ning Die.

"Who are you, I said, you dare to be rude to Mr. Huo!" One of the women grabbed Ning Die's arm and wanted to pull her aside.

Ning Die was funny, "Huo Cheng is not a yellow flower girl, what is hairy hands and feet." โ€

The woman was blocked by the words, vaguely angry, there were other noble sons and brothers present, sitting in the back and left box, the woman was afraid of a spicy reputation in the future, it was not easy to get angry, but she was unwilling, so she simply got straight to the point, "Miss, who is your class?" โ€

Ning Die didn't understand what she meant, and the woman raised her voice, "Ask who brought you into the industry!" โ€

There were women around who heard the sound and laughed at it, and a dancer was still so unrestrained, and asked this loudly in public.

Ning Die understood that the other party regarded herself as a competitor, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not from Paramount." โ€

What else did the woman have to say, a reprimanding voice sounded, just a flower whip cut through the water, penetrating the crowd, and the female voice was charming and majestic, "You two step aside, don't have long eyes, Miss Ning is the person you can slander?" โ€

The two women hurriedly left in a panic when they heard this familiar voice, Ning Die was surprised who it was, and when they got closer, it turned out to be Lili, the "queen" of Paramount.

"It's been a long time since I've seen Miss Ning," Lili smiled and hugged Ning Die, and made a popular Western veneer salute, "It's rare to see you here." โ€

Ning Die smiled politely back: "I haven't seen you for a while, and I've been thinking about Miss Lili's beauty." โ€

"I'm afraid it's not for me tonight, right?" Lili glanced in Huo Cheng's direction, hinting at the taste, "I wish you all the best." โ€

Saying that, he took away a glass of red wine from the waiter's tray, "I still have something to do, and the next time we meet, I can make an appointment to play the tag together." โ€

Ning Die replied with a smile: "Definitely." โ€

Thanks to Lili's help, the warbler Yanyan around Huo Cheng was scattered, and Ning Die was able to face Huo Cheng, "Mr. Li Hao, he is waiting for ......"

Before he finished speaking, Huo Cheng put his arms around her waist and quickly threw Ning Die down on the sofa, clasping her wrists with both hands.

The indifference between his eyebrows was like ice and snow after spring, melting little by little, he lowered his head and took Ning Die's ear beads in his mouth, licking them lightly, "Twelve." โ€

"What?" As soon as Ning Die spoke, the sensitive part of her ears was licked hot by Huo Cheng, and her voice unconsciously dropped a few tones.

"There are twelve documents in total," he said, a big palm sliding down Ning Die's waist, "Every time I am satisfied, I will sign one." โ€

"You're crazy! Let me go! "Ning Die struggled, the box here is not soundproof, not shadowed, a little wind and grass is tantamount to everyone knowing.

"Ning Die," Huo Cheng slowly looked at Ning Die's panicked eyes, his expression so paranoid, "You shouldn't have come to me tonight!" โ€

"On the one hand, you will throw me away, and on the other hand, you will come and lick my wounds again," Huo Cheng sneered, "Despair must not despair, you are really ruthless." โ€
