4. Dinner
Ning Die followed the large team to the Miaoyun Hotel in a daze.
Originally, she was supposed to go on foot, but as soon as she went out, the vehicle was already ready, saying that Mr. Huo had an invitation.
What a person this Mr. Huo is, he has a lot of appetite.
Miaoyun Hotel is a Western-style hotel opened by foreigners, the first and second floors are reception and dining places, the third and fourth floors are VIP boxes, today Mr. Huo chartered the venue, the crew has come together, the champagne banquet is staggered, Ning Die was led to the third floor by the waitress before she could integrate into the atmosphere.
The moire marble on the ground is so good-looking, and the chandeliers in the corridor are like huge crystals, like fine wine in a glass, smoking away the blurred color.
My stomach began to feel uncomfortable, and I carefully calculated that these two days were indeed the days of menstruation. Ning Die secretly said that it was not good.
The waiter opened the door of the box without permission, and she stared at the gilded house number, 305.
The three numbers she hated the most were gathered.
The box is a room, the tables and chairs are all Western-style, solemn brown, and the smell of smoke is when the door is opened.
The man stood in front of the window smoking a cigarette, dressed in a pitch-black suit neatly, with no extra pleats, his hairstyle was a left-parted suit head, and his hair was combed back, and when the man turned around, Ning Die was slightly stunned.
This person often appears in the newspapers of the southwest, Mr. Chen Yueming, the son of a giant businessman, and the vane of the economic development of the southwest.
Ning Die bent down politely and said, "Hello Mr. Chen." โ
Chen Yueming saluted, it was a greeting, and he was not surprised that Ning Die recognized him, he put out the cigarette, put his hands in his pockets, and his eyebrows were indifferent, "I have a friend who wants to see you." โ
As he spoke, it was the sound of the "bumping" of military boots outside, and the army did not enter the room, but blocked the corridor.
Huo Cheng took an invincible attitude, his military uniform was dazzling, and he opened his long legs, and directly broke into Ning Die's sight.
Thin lips opened: "Hello Miss Ning, it's the first time we've met." โ
I never thought that Mr. Huo was Huo Cheng.
Ning Die froze in place, with complicated feelings, according to the memories of the previous life, Huo Cheng at this age was still a young man with nothing.
thought that in this life, as long as she was willing, she would never see this negative person.
Chen Yueming pursed his lips, as if he was restraining his smile, and said, "Don't bother the two of you, Chen will leave." โ
If only he and Huo Cheng were left in the room, Ning Die raised his feet and said, "I have other important matters, so I'll go first." โ
Suddenly, her arm was grabbed, Huo Cheng buried his head in her neck and shoulder, and his warm breath poured out on her exposed neck, "Miss Ning, since you are here, why don't you accompany you for a drink." โ
After saying that, his lips did not forget to gently rub the side of her face.
An electric current flooded Ning Die's limbs, and she trembled and shivered.
Trying her best to hide her strangeness, she pretended to meet Huo Cheng for the first time, and her attitude was detached, "Sorry sir, I'm not feeling well, I have to go back first." โ
After she finished speaking, she struggled to break away from his shackles and took a step out of the room, and the army outside the door immediately picked up โกโก and put her on alert, obviously not letting her go.
"Miss Ning," Huo Cheng took off his military hat and patted off the dust on the edge of his hat, "It's just a glass of wine, why make everyone unhappy." โ
This is no longer a negotiating tone.
Ning Die had to stay unwillingly, and after a while, the food on the table in the room was arranged, the medium-rare steak plus all kinds of salads and snacks, and the white cloth had dark patterns embroidered with roses.
They each occupy one end of the table, with a bouquet of lilies in a long vase in the middle, and two silver candlesticks with candles, in the faint light of the flames, Huo Cheng skillfully cut the steak into fragmented squares, when he lowered his head seriously, the line of his face was a smooth arc, removing a lot of cold and hard, and then he walked around the table, walked to Ning Die's side and bent down, put down the plate in his hand, "I'll teach you after eating this." โ
Ning Die stiffly stopped using the silver knife, she was not very skilled in cutting steaks, fortunately she had learned from Lin Laiyu, so she was not a complete novice, but she was still disgusted by Huo Cheng.
"No...... No. She blushed, a little embarrassed, and also resisted Huo Cheng's approach.
Huo Cheng smiled, his eyes were deep gloomy, he naturally felt her resistance, regardless of Ning Die's resistance, he hugged her directly from behind, covered her hands with his hands, and forcibly taught her how to master the strength of cutting steak, but his tone was extremely gentle, "Don't move, learn the posture of holding the knife first." โ
The wild aura that belonged to a man surrounded Ning Die, and her struggle was simply overwhelming in the face of absolute strength.
After working hard to end his studies, on a late autumn day, Ning Die was sweating all over her back.
Seeming to be very satisfied with Xueguo, Huo Cheng no longer embarrassed her, his index finger brushed away the oil stains on her delicate lips, he sat back in his place, and asked gentlemanly, "Where does Miss Ning's family live?" โ
Ning Die wanted to be silent, but she rolled her eyes and blurted out a random place name.
"It's raining outside." Huo Cheng said.
Ning Die turned her head to look out the window, and thin rains slid down from the glass window, blurring the colorful world outside.
The rain came without warning.
"Why don't I drive Miss Ning home." Huo Cheng lowered the brim of his hat, and his voice was low and seductive.
Ning Die choked up, she didn't want to have anything to do with Huo Cheng in this life, and she definitely had to keep her residence secret.
What's more, when he sent her home, it was a lot of work just to deal with Su Mei.
She is nineteen years old this year, and she is already an older woman to be married in the old family, even if the new school education is popular, there are only a few women who are not engaged at her age.
Su Mei always asked her with Li's mother if she had a favorite person in the school, and said that the girl next door married Yunyun a few days ago.
In and out of the words, it reminded her to make plans.
At this juncture, a man suddenly appeared to send her home, in terms of appearance and bearing, Huo Cheng is undoubtedly the dragon and phoenix among people.
She had to deal with Su Mei's cross-examination.
In her previous life, she was "cold" and afraid, maybe she still had some unfinished feelings for Huo Cheng, but the circumstances of those years made her destined not to fall in love with this man again.
She closed her eyes, and the words of the fourth sister Ning Zheng pierced her chest.
She undoubtedly hated Huo Cheng again.
"How can I tell Mr. to send him off," she calmed down, her jade fingers stroked the pomegranate red brooch, there was only a simple politeness in her smile, and her eyelashes trembled slightly, "Looking at Mr.'s style and situation, it is naturally a daily opportunity, and he can disturb your work for a meal, Ning Die's heart has long been overwhelmed." โ
After a meal, Huo Cheng tidied up the cuffs of his military uniform, his eyes were narrow and long, more graceful than phoenix eyes, but his eyes were cold, and he was cold and thin in physiognomy, "What Miss Ning said is very right." โ
He was not polite at all, "I am indeed very busy, and I will ask Miss Ning for the compensation for this meal in the future." โ
Mance methodically drank a cup of black tea, his gaze brushing over Ning Die from time to time.
Later? Ning Die smiled in her heart, she would not let them have a future.
In the end, Huo Cheng forced her to sit in the car, seeing that her face was not very good, Huo Cheng said: "Miss Ning doesn't have to be polite, I will stop by with you and only send you to the door of the 'foreign bank'." โ
Who can see that she is polite? She refused at all, Ning Die only broke Huo Cheng's cheekiness, but when she heard him say that she only sent herself halfway, Ning Die breathed a sigh of relief.
The car stopped in front of the foreign business, it was late, the lights were on, and the sound of the rain did not reduce the excitement outside the window.
Ning Die pushed the car door to go down, her arm was pulled by Huo Cheng, she mistakenly thought that he was going to repent, Liu Mei was about to get angry, Huo Cheng said first: "Miss Ning, wait a minute." โ
After speaking, the driver of the car opened the car door and came down, stretched out a black umbrella and waited on the side, Huo Cheng immediately got out of the car, took the umbrella and said, "I'll take care of her before I come back." โ
He walked firmly, stepping on the stagnant water on the ground, and his back disappeared quickly.
Ning Die waited helplessly, when he came back, there was an extra paper bag in his hand, the rain was too strong, one side of his shoulder was soaked, and there was rain on his cheeks, only the paper bag did not see any raindrops.
"Put it on," opened the car door, and he pressed the paper bag into Ning Die's arms without question.
Ning Die opened it curiously, and saw a goose-yellow tweed coat.
She wanted to open her mouth to ask, realizing the dampness beneath her, her face flushed to the color of pork liver. The daughter's ** is quite troublesome, it is very easy to stain the clothes, her skirt is not presentable, I didn't expect that even the coat is not guaranteed, it is dyed red.
With a hard thanks, she changed her coat and put on her coat, which was so bright that her complexion was like a white pearl, shining.
She was embarrassed and didn't know what to do, so she simply got out of the car, Huo Cheng held the umbrella above her head, the wind and rain were heavy, she lowered her head and saw that his military boots were dripping, and she handed him a square scarf and handkerchief.
"Thank you, Miss Ning." Huo Cheng took it politely, and was not in a hurry to wipe the water droplets on his body.
Ning Die's lips bent upward, and the umbrella was stuffed into her hand, she did not force herself to refuse, but took it calmly.
Then she said goodbye, and she happily stepped into the rain.
Huo Cheng got into the car, and there were at least three cars on standby behind him when he traveled.
He unfolded the square handkerchief in the palm of his hand, and an embroidered plum quietly slept in the corner, he stroked the lines with his fingertips, imagining that the embroidery had Ning Die's hand warmth, not to mention the real address, the warmth in his eyes was cold, and he ordered the driver in a deep voice: "Send someone to follow." โ
Ning Die was not in a hurry to go home, she bought menstrual supplies and a change of underwear in the department store, checked the odds and ends in her purse, and opened a single room in a nearby hotel.
Just in case, she will have to sleep in a hotel these days.
She went to the hospital to visit Lin Laiyu on the day, the hotel was simple, and she had to pay extra money to make hot water in a kettle in winter, and there were always people coming and going in the corridor outside the door, her lips were thirsty, and she didn't sleep well.
After entering the ward, she impatiently poured water from a porcelain cup to drink, and drank two glasses to quench her thirst, Lin Laiyu glanced at her angrily: "Are you the womb of a thirsty ghost?" Half a pot of water is all for you to drink. โ
"I'll fill it up for you after drinking, and the water in the hospital doesn't count as money." She brought a chair and sat down, the beds in this ward were full of people, family members came in and out, and Ning Die moved the chair in again.
Lin Laiyu hung her feet, it was inconvenient to move, she pointed at the orchid in the air a little, and when it was Ning Die's forehead, "Start saving money?" โ
Ning Die sighed, in the past few years, Su Mei's savings have been used up, and the money from stock speculation can cover the tuition fees, but the remaining living expenses are still a big problem.
