CHAPTER XVIII
"Ah Yu." Suddenly, a soft female voice sounded behind him, which perfectly complemented the melodious music.
Ye Chengyu frowned, didn't pay attention to the visitor, he continued to pour wine and drink it boringly.
"What's wrong with you?" The woman paid no heed to his indifference, and walked gently over to him, smiling softest at him.
In the dim light, her eyes flickered, rippling, with watery tenderness.
Ye Chengyu had a cold face, and poured down a glass of wine again, but she held it down before she could pick up the glass, "Ah Yu, you have a bad stomach, drink less." ”
Ye Chengyu's movements froze suddenly, and he turned his head and glanced at her indifferently, "Why are you here?" ”
"Attend an event over here." Lin Ruxue sat down on the seat next to him, naturally bent her lower lip, and took advantage of the situation to take away the one in his hand.
Ye Chengyu nodded silently, and his gaze turned back to the wine glass on the table.
Lin Ruxue lowered her eyes slightly, and her delicate and beautiful makeup looked particularly charming in the dim light. She reversed her mind, and after a while, she moved the bottle of wine back and asked, "Qiao Yun is angry with you?" ”
Ye Chengyu didn't speak, his eyes were still staring at the wine glass on the table. Lin Ruxue carefully observed his expression, and although he tried his best to hide his feelings, she still understood the displeasure in his eyes.
"Ah Yu, you and her-"
"It's not about you." Before Lin Ruxue finished speaking, she was coldly interrupted by Ye Chengyu.
Lin Ruxue was a little embarrassed, and the expression on her face suddenly froze, but she still tried her best to hold back the embarrassment in her heart and smiled faintly at him: "There is a drinking party tomorrow night, will you go with me?" ”
Ye Chengyu glanced up at her, and after a moment, he frowned and said, "I'm afraid it won't work tomorrow night." ”
He had already arranged tomorrow night's activities, how could he have worked hard to bring Qiao Yun over?
"What's the matter? What does this side do? Although Lin Ruxue knew that she shouldn't ask a lot more at this time, she couldn't help but ask.
Ye Chengyu was not angry, but nodded irritably, which was regarded as answering her question.
"Ah Yu, don't exclude me from talking to you about Qiao Yun's problem, okay?" The two sat quietly for a moment, and Lin Ruxue still said out loud.
Her voice is low but soft, accompanied by melodious music, which makes people listen to it very comfortably.
Ye Chengyu frowned and looked at her, obviously displeased in his eyes, but Lin Ruxue ignored his affection and continued to speak: "Qiao Yun is still young, a few years younger than you, sometimes it's normal to be immature in acting, why do you want to be angry with her?" Besides, she left because of her children...... It doesn't make much sense to say who is right and who is wrong in this matter, but now that she's back, you-"
"You say this makes sense?" Ye Chengyu interrupted her suddenly.
Lin Ruxue's face darkened, and her expression suddenly froze on her face.
"I don't want to hear anything if it doesn't make sense." Ye Chengyu was about to get up and leave after speaking, Lin Ruxue was stunned for a moment, then gritted her teeth and immediately followed.
"Ah Yu." She hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed his arm, Ye Chengyu looked down at her, with a thick gloom in his eyes.
"I'll be with you ......"
……
Qiao Xiaoqiao went to Chen Qing's house on the first day, and there was no problem in the afternoon, but in the evening, the problem came, the little girl left her mother for the first time, and lived in a completely strange aunt's house, and she was more or less scared and homesick.
The child's love came quickly, and when Chen Qing coaxed her to sleep at night, the little girl blinked and looked at her, and cried when she looked at it, and asked her mother with her hands open, Chen Qing was busy coaxing, but the more the little girl cried, the more sad she became, choking and coughing, Chen Qing couldn't help it, looked at the time, thought about it and called Qiao Yun.
On the other side, Qiao Yun has been sitting on the carpet in the living room since Ye Chengyu left, and it wasn't until the mobile phone in her bag rang that she suddenly came back to her senses and reached out to take it.
As soon as he saw that it was Chen Qing's call, Qiao Yun immediately packed up his mood and calmed down.
"You're at the hotel, aren't you?" Chen Qing asked on the other end of the phone.
Qiao Yun said softly "um" and said, "I was going to call you when I was empty, but you called as soon as the dinner was over, is Xiao Qiao still good?" ”
"Crying!" Chen Qing said with some distress, "I had a lot of fun with my son in the afternoon, and I cried and shouted for my mother when I coaxed her to sleep just now, you coaxed her?" ”
Qiao Yun knew that Qiao Xiaoqiao would definitely not be comfortable, so he asked Chen Qing to hand over the phone to Qiao Xiaoqiao.
The little girl was still whimpering, crying and sobbing, Qiao Yun was also distressed when she heard it, but now she had no choice, so she had to ask patiently: "Do you have a good meal at night?" ”
The little girl said "yes" pitifully, and then smoked it again.
Qiao Yun listened and was silent for a while, and finally couldn't help but ask her, "Baby, what did my mother tell you when she left?" ”
The little girl whined twice, and a soft voice sounded: "Let... Let me listen to my aunt......"
"And what are you doing now?"
"......" The little girl didn't answer for a while, but she sobbed faintly, but she answered Qiao Yun's question for her.
Qiao Yun pinched her eyebrows, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the colorful night scene downstairs, and said to her gently: "Baby, don't cry, mom will be back soon, right?" Mom just goes to work, will the little brother of the aunt's family play with the baby? ”
The little girl let out a sullen "um", her voice was obviously full of affection, and Qiao Yun said again: "Hasn't the baby always wanted to have a little brother and sister to play with you?" Are you okay to play with your brother at your aunt's house? So it's been a day today, tomorrow day, and mom will be back the day after tomorrow, right? ”
The little girl said "um" in a low voice, the unhappy love was still very big, Qiao Yun patiently coaxed: "Mom has always felt that our little Qiao is the most obedient and well-behaved child, and the baby is four years old and a big baby, isn't it?" The big baby should be sensible, you have to keep in mind what your mother told you, and you have to work hard to do what you promised your mother, right? ”
……
The little girl was not very affectionate at first, Qiao Yun patiently talked to her, and the mother and daughter chatted for a while, and the little girl finally became happier, and slowly began to talk to her about what happened this afternoon and evening.
The child's love came and went quickly, and after a while, she giggled, the time was past ten o'clock, it was too late, and the child was going to sleep, Qiao Yun told Qiao Xiaoqiao a few words and hung up the phone.
……
Ye Chengyu never came back, and Qiao Yun felt a lot more relaxed.
She took her clothes into the bathroom and came out after washing, it was already past eleven o'clock, and Ye Chengyu still hadn't come back.
Qiao Yun stood in front of the door and hesitated for a while, and finally did not choose to lock the door from the inside, he used to be like this, he would slam the door when he didn't want to quarrel, but he would come back at night no matter how late it was.
There are three bedrooms in the suite, Qiao Yun chose the innermost one, she left a light in the living room, and then went into the house to rest.
There are also a large floor-to-ceiling windows in the house, Qiao Yun didn't pull up all the curtains before going to bed, and the bright moonlight spilled into the room through the glass, illuminating the room transparently.
She looked sideways and lost her mind, and many of the past came back to her mind, lingering......
Qiao Yun didn't have the habit of choosing a bed, but she couldn't sleep tonight.
As the minutes passed, she not only did not feel sleepy, but felt that she was becoming more and more awake.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound outside, the sound sounded a little stumbling, Qiao Yun instinctively wanted to get out of bed to take a look, but when she just moved her body, she forcibly held back the restlessness in her heart.
She kept trying to convince herself not to care about Ye Chengyu's affairs anymore, and now they only had a working relationship.
……
Lin Ruxue helped the drunk Ye Chengyu just walked into the suite, Ye Chengyu reached out and pushed her away, although he drank too much, his mind was still clear, and he knew that Qiao Yun was still in this suite.
"You go back." He steadied himself, reached out and rubbed his eyebrows, and said impatiently to the person on the side.
Lin Ruxue's body paused, and she was just about to step forward when she was stopped by a look from him.
"Ah Yu, you've drunk too much, I'm still-"
"You're back?" Without waiting for Lin Ruxue to finish speaking, a figure suddenly came out of it.
Lin Ruxue's face was so embarrassed that although she knew that Ye Chengyu was taking Qiao Yun on a business trip, she didn't know that they were staying in a suite.
Qiao Yun was wearing a nightgown, looking a little sleepy-eyed.
Late at night is the time to show her true nature, especially in this dim environment, Lin Ruxue stared at Qiao Yun gloomily, and did not hide her anger at the moment.
Qiao Yun didn't care about Lin Ruxue, her eyes stayed on Ye Chengyu. She stepped forward, and before anyone could reach him, she could smell the strong smell of wine on him.
"Why don't you drink when you're so good at the table?" She suddenly raised her eyes and looked at him and asked, Ye Chengyu lowered her eyes and looked at her, the two looked at each other, and for a while, the long-lost familiarity suddenly came up.
Ye Chengyu's eyes dimmed, his gaze slowly wandered from her eyes to her full red lips, and the love in his eyes was like a burning flame, from small to large, slowly becoming intense.
Qiao Yun hurriedly looked away, and then said with a smile to the people around him who had been ignored by her, "I didn't expect to see Miss Lin here." ”
"Ah Yu was in a bad mood, so I sat with him for a while." Lin Ruxue had already covered the anger on her face, although she had an impeccable smile, but they were all women, and Qiao Yun could see Lin Ruxue's anger at a glance.
She smiled to herself, turned around and pushed Ye Chengyu: "It's all over the body and the smell of wine stinks to death!" Why don't you go take a shower! ”
Her tone and expression were extremely natural, especially with a smile, which made Ye Chengyu suddenly a little stunned.
"Why are you still stunned?" Seeing that he hadn't moved for a long time, she gently pushed him again, this kind of action couldn't be more natural, Ye Chengyu suddenly felt like the two of them were back in the past.
He felt that he must have drunk too much, and the change in Qiao Yun's attitude before and after made him incredulous, but he still listened to her words and walked towards the bathroom obediently with steady steps.
