Chapter 38: Who's Stupid?
"Xiao Ning'er. This man is like old wine. The bigger the vintage, the more mellow it is. You take it seriously. Just rest assured of me." Yuan Qing was half joking, half serious. He stared at Hu Yuening faintly. As if trying to see through her heart.
Hu Yuening remained silent under his gaze. There was no answer. Just reaching out and wanting to continue to help him straighten his tie. A sweet voice. Plugged in: "Director Yuan. The award ceremony is about to begin. Why are you still here?"
A pink shadow. In his early twenties. It is the darling of the new popularity in the Hong Kong social circle recently. Born in a family of celebrities here. After returning from an overseas third-rate university, he was plated with gold. The family protects Ji Tianjie, who has successfully shown his head and feet in the entertainment industry.
Yuan Qing didn't answer the fan's mind at all. only stared at Hu Yuening intently. A stubbornness that has to wait for an answer.
Hu Yuening smiled. Sweet, polite smile. Facing Ji Tianjie: "Miss Ji." Fortunately, I just entered the venue. Yu Hualou has roughly introduced to her several "heavyweight" level celebrities. Otherwise. But she doesn't know who is with whom. It's not that she has face blindness. Just know not to mention in this Hong Kong circle. It's just that even the celebrity lady Hu Yuening in the imperial capital didn't recognize it all.
The fan only glanced at Hu Yuening from the corner of his eye. The focus of the whole attention returned to Yuan Qing: "Director Yuan. You might as well go and sit down. Daddy has placed me next to you. You'll be the guest of honor. I claim the prize. You can go on stage together." Reaching out as he spoke. took Yuan Qing's arm.
The big tail wolf struggled slightly. Just stopped. Look at Hu Yuening's eyes. It's deliberately eccentric.
Hu Yuening only glanced at Yuan Qing's arm being held. Still a sweet and polite smile: "The dinner party is about to start. I've got to go back to my seat. I won't bother."
Turn around and go. was dragged by Yuan Qing: "Xiao Ning'er. What do you mean by that?" Completely ignoring the surprised eyes of the fans around him.
Hu Yuening was dragged to the center of gravity. Kankan stood firm. Only then sighed: "Yuan Qing. Don't be willful. It's public. And I'm just your secretary today."
Yuan Qing's face tightened. Really let her go. Took Ji Tianjie and left.
Hu Yuening watched Yuan Qing return to his seat. Only return to your seat. Her seat was arranged by Yu Hualou to be with the couple and the couple. Yu Hualou's husband saw her. Smiling and smiling, he helped her pull a seat first. Then he served his wife. It made Hu Yuening very embarrassed. Lian said: "Thank you. Brother-in-law."
"Thanks for what. It's all called brother-in-law. It's so extraordinary." The middle-aged handsome uncle smiled kindly.
"Yue Ning. Serving a lady is a must-have quality for a gentleman. It seems that Aqing's kid doesn't always serve you. Lack of tuning and teaching." My husband is doing well. Yu Hualou first rewarded him with a fragrant kiss. Then I rushed to educate Hu Yuening." Sometime. Sister help you 'teach' that kid well. Don't feel sorry."
"Hmm. Okay." Hu Yuening also smiled. She subconsciously didn't look at what was going on on Yuan Qing's side. Just said the ease of speaking. Actually, her heart is blocked.
The awards begin. Yu Hualou was the first to go on stage as an award guest. Task 1 is completed. immediately made an excuse and left the venue with the boss to live a small world of two. Hu Yuening was left alone to continue to support the scene.
Hu Yuening sat for a while. Stand up and go to the bathroom. Long dresses especially need to be cared for with care. Hu Yuening cautiously. I'm afraid of soiling my clothes. I sighed softly in my heart. YUAN Qing. What he meant. How could she not understand.
His relationship with their marriage. He had never mentioned it before. It's been a year and a half. But the hints are becoming more and more frequent. He'll work hard. Let her feel the clouds with her heart.
He. Is really trying to keep her. For a lifetime.
What answer he wants. Hu Yuening understands. It's just that. When I agreed to have another drink with him. She's already made up her mind. Never let yourself. Become a burden to the old man. Don't rely on love as much as you used to. So. She never thought about it. Don't look forward to. Don't want to ask for too much. As long as you're around each other. That's it.
Thinking of the persistence in Yuan Qing's expression. Seemingly. It's time to reconsider their relationship. After all, this marriage is ironclad. He is also the man that the old man personally chose for her...... The most critical thing is. Although she and he have gone through so many rights and wrongs. It seems that she has never completely given up on him......
In the powder room outside the bathroom. The familiar voice of the girl came: "Shi Ni. I bet you. Yuanqing, I can definitely get my hands on it."
"Heavenly clean. Don't say I didn't warn you. He has a wife. And he's bringing his secretary with him today. You don't know it."
"You mean the woman who just said hello to me." Ji Tianjie's voice. With a smile: "Cut. I think that's it. It's just a middle-class person. What capital does she have to fight with me."
"No. Let's not talk about secretaries or anything. On the imperial capital, the director of the Yuan University is a well-known twenty-four filial piety good man. His wife had been in an accident before and was unconscious for several years. The director of Yuanta will never give up. And I heard from my friends over there. Director Yuan's wife is also good. Not only is it popular. Personality is also good. In short, the two of them are a good match. Tianjie. You just came back and don't know. The director of Yuanta has hardly had any scandals."
"yes. Shi Ni. Don't you understand men? Men are in need. His wife isn't here now. Far water can't quench your thirst."
"Don't be too optimistic. As far as I know. Director Yuan has been in Hong Kong for a few days. I didn't take the female guests back to the hotel at all. Except for the female secretary, someone saw coming out of the hotel this morning."
"Oh. Seemingly. I underestimated that female secretary. Also. If you can climb a man with such good conditions as Yuanqing. It does take some skills. But. It's just a little secretary. What can you do? Plainly. Where is she worthy of Yuan Qing. Even if it's just dewy love. She's not qualified."
"It's too. With the fame of the Yuan family. The female secretary is on top or something. Basically impossible. I see that Shi Jun next to Director Yuan just now was very polite to her. It is estimated that she is relying on Director Yuan to support her. Someone else in front of her. They all said hello to her by the way. She can be a fox and a fake tiger when she is next to Director Yuan. Otherwise. It's a cat without paws."
"Shi Ni. Just wait and see. I'm going to make that woman look good tonight. Hum. Yuan Qing will be the guest of honor for me in a while. I kissed him on stage. What about that female secretary? I'm going to let her know in advance. What identity. It's called inconsequential."
"Huh. Tianjie. Or you learn from others. What is called generosity and decency. The man I like lets another woman kiss her. Don't be upset either. Huh."
The voices of the two faded away. Until you can't hear it anymore. Hu Yuening came out of the bathroom. But there was a faint smile on his face.
She's living too comfortably now. The family raised her too well. Ignored all the time. Live in your own world. I'm about to forget. What a wonderful world the world must be.
Know ahead of time. What identity. It's called insignificant. Want to learn. What is generous and decent? So. She's going to give them a chance.
The smile on Hu Yuening's face. Still faint. There is a sense of calmness.
Hu Yuening returned to the dinner scene. The awards ceremony has been going on for quite some time now. Take a look at the seats. That Ji Tianjie has returned to his position. is talking to Yuan Qing with a bright smile on his head.
Hu Yuening took out a pen from his handbag. She habitually carries a pen and sticky notes in her bag. A small line of small print was written: "I'll go first. Mr. Yuan, please respect yourself." There is no signature. Fold it neatly. Give it to the waiter. Let it be handed to Yuan Qing, who was sitting in the front row.
Then take the pouch. Out of the venue. Didn't hail a taxi either. Just walk slowly along the side of the road.
In fact, I wore a dress. Not suitable for walking. It didn't go far. The feet are worn uncomfortably by the high heels. Just stopped. I found a shade tree on the side of the road to lean onto.
Longer than expected. A striking silver trot. Breathe over her. He braked the car not far in front of her. Yuan Qing jumped out of the car. A few steps rushed in front of her. There was a faint anxiety on his face. But his mouth was still full of anger: "Xiao Ning'er. You're mad at me."
Hu Yuening was grabbed by a handful. Then he fell into a familiar embrace.
"I don't have self-respect. Didn't I just let the woman surnamed Ji pull her arm? It's not self-respecting. Why are you mad at me like that? I want the answer. You never cared. You've never cared about me. It's me who should be angry. XIAO Ning'er. I'm the one to be angry about."
Yuan Qing was probably really angry. The words were hurried: "You say. All these years. What the hell am I treating you with? Belch. Leaving aside my fuss. I tried my best to be nice to you. You're at odds with me. You said. Which thing. I didn't listen to you. I'm so good to you. You still always mention the surname Zhai in front of me. Oh, and that damn Rong Ziyi. I'm so good to you. Even your old man approves of it. You've never given me a formal promise. XIAO Ning'er. You said you didn't want to be my weakness. It's an excuse at all. You at all. That's for me. Not confident about our future. You just don't want to live a good life with me."
Yuan Qing hugged Hu Yuening tightly. I heard her ask softly in her arms, "Awards. Did you award it?"
Yuan Da tailed the wolf almost angry: "What awards. To hell with it. You lose the note and run. And expect me to sit there like a fool and wait to be the guest of honor? XIAO Ning'er. What do you think. I've got one more award assignment. I didn't dare to chase it out. You think I'm going to let you go. XIAO Ning'er. In the end you are stupid. Or do you think I'm going to be stupid to this extent. Hmm."
