Chapter 169: Cunning

"What did you say?"

Gu Shaoze couldn't care that she was still sad, helped her up from his arms, held her tear-stained face and asked again, "What did you just say?" ”

Ji Xincheng didn't have patience, the tears in Ren's eyes fell even more fiercely, she was so sad, sad that the person he liked was originally herself, but fate still made them go through many detours.

Thinking of the time when the two of them hurt each other and almost missed each other in the past, she only felt that her heart hurt so much that she couldn't breathe.

"You gave me that bouquet of flowers, and I received it. The performance in Dragon City was my last, and I didn't go to the next city with them because the actors who asked me for a replacement had already recovered. I went back to school and studied hard, just trying to get into the university you were in. I didn't know your name for three years of high school, but in my heart, you had been with me for three whole years. But when I came to Dragon City, I heard that you had already graduated......"

After Ji Xincheng said this in one breath, he couldn't stop crying.

Gu Shaoze looked at this face, vaguely matching the eye-catching figure in his memory, it turned out to be her, it was really her!

“……”

He didn't know what to say for a while, just held her face and watched her cry, his thumbs on both sides kept wiping away the tears rolling down for her, his palms were wet, and her tears slid down his wrists to his forearm, and it took him a long time before he muttered: "Ji Xincheng, do you actually remember?" ”

His voice trembled a little, and it was hard for him to imagine that in the past he had treated her as a mistress who didn't have to pay attention, just because of her face, and she had always held his initial admiration and attachment to him, and endured his domineering snubbing and unreasonableness.

How did she do it? And how did you persevere?

Gu Shaoze thought of this, faintly afraid, and finally hugged her tightly into his arms, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry I didn't recognize you." ”

There was annoyance in his tone, and he stroked the top of her hair and the back of her hair, like a treasure.

Ji Xincheng let himself cry happily, fortunately, fortunately, they didn't miss each other in the end.

When Gu Shaoze asked, "Why didn't you tell me?" ”

She raised her head from his arms, wiped the mottled tear stains on her face and neck with a tissue, and then threw the tissue into his arms, "Since the day I joined the company, you have preconceived about me, thinking that I just want to sleep with you like those female stars and borrow you to take the position, how can you believe me?" With your stinky temper at that time, if I asked for something from you, it would be strange if I didn't block me immediately! ”

Gu Shaoze smiled and accepted all the discarded tissues she threw over, "I was really so bad at that time?" ”

Although he is self-aware, it is the first time that Ji Xincheng has evaluated him face-to-face like now.

"What do you think?"

The smile in Gu Shaoze's eyes was even stronger, "You can't blame me entirely, it's the first time we meet in the elevator, you ...... me" He stretched out his finger and pointed to his lips and made an ambiguous movement, "It's hard not to let me feel your enthusiasm!" ”

"Warm you up!" Thinking of the embarrassment at that time, Ji Xincheng still felt hot at the root of his ears, and took this opportunity to explain, "I don't do this often. I've never flirted with a strange man like this before. ”

He pulled the cushion and got up, and the next second he had already hugged her sideways, "Admit that you are teasing me?" ”

"What are you going to do?" Suddenly rising into the air made Ji Xincheng let out a low shout, seeing that he had already walked from the terrace to the study, he hurriedly reminded: "Wait, the candle hasn't been extinguished yet!" ”

He squeezed her up and whispered in her ear, "That one can wait, I can't." ”

Knowing that Ji Xincheng was the girl he loved for the first time in his heart, Gu Shaoze was extremely excited this night, and he showed more endurance than ever before, which made Ji Xincheng exhausted and very sober at the same time.

"You still said you didn't think about your first girlfriend?"

"How so?"

"You're ...... Tonight"

"What in particular?" There was laughter in his voice.

"Hmm...... It's not the same, just because I mentioned your first love? ”

"No, because my first love was actually my wife......"

"Are you happy or unhappy?"

"What do you think?"

“……”

The next day, Ji Xincheng slept until the afternoon, woke up and poured a glass of water, knowing that there was no drama for a day, and lay back on the bed and continued to sleep until Gu Shaoze called her.

"Haven't eaten in a day?"

"What time will you be back?" Ji Xincheng muttered and asked, she still didn't feel like she had slept enough.

"You forgot? Yesterday I told you that there was a drinking party tonight, and you promised to come with me. ”

"Huh? Have it? ”

"Wife, you can't be like this, you always don't admit it afterwards."

Ji Xincheng took the mobile phone to take a look in front of him, and was a little unsure if it was Gu Shaoze on the other end of the phone at this time? This aggrieved tone......

"I'm sorry I didn't remember, what time is the party, how do you need me to dress?"

"You get up first and eat something, the clothes and the driver will be there in an hour, you go downstairs and get it, change it or take that car over, I'll wait for you here."

Ji Xincheng endured the backache, and it took a long time to ease up, wash up and go downstairs, Zeng's sister-in-law had already made soy milk, the temperature was just right, and there was also a bowl of cold noodles with shredded chicken that she liked, so I knew that Gu Shaoze had called Zeng's sister-in-law just now to explain the cooking.

The warmth in his heart was beyond words, and Ji Xincheng happily ate a bowl of noodles before going upstairs to put on makeup and change dresses.

This is an off-white tunic dress, with a double design on the chest of the straight neckline, one layer of the inner layer is close to the chest to prevent it from going light, and the outer layer is in the shape of a folded page, and the fabric is a stiff material, which sets off her whole person with a heroic temperament.

It is indeed the type that Ji Xincheng likes.

It gets dark early in autumn, and when the driver sends Ji Shicheng to the clubhouse of the cocktail party, the lights are all over the place, and the nightlife has quietly kicked off. Gu Shaoze was talking to people, and his eyes couldn't stop looking at the entrance, and when he saw the figure of the driver walking in with Ji Xincheng, he immediately said to the left and right, "I'm sorry, I'll pick up my wife." ”

Ji Xincheng first cooperated with a few reporters to take a few photos on the red carpet outside the door, and then walked towards Gu Shaoze.

"The shoes are a bit big." She seemed to complain.

"It's the same size as before, it looks like you've lost weight lately." Gu Shaoze was holding her, but at this time, he took her waist and silently supported her waist to give her strength.

Seeing that Gu Shaoze took advantage of people's inattention and touched her stomach, Ji Xincheng shrank and said in a low voice, "What are you doing?" ”

"Did you really finish a bowl of noodles?"

"Sister-in-law Zeng even told you this!"

"It's what I requested, you haven't eaten for a day, I'm not worried."

"I won't treat my stomach badly if I treat anyone badly, Mr. Gu can rest assured!"

Gu Shaoze smiled slightly, and really looked very satisfied, while greeting people, he quietly led her to the dining table, "The dim sum and sweet wine here are good, you can try it." ”

Ji Xincheng said curiously, "It looks like a serious business party, didn't you let the female secretary accompany you at this kind of reception before?" Why do you want me to come today? ”

"There's an imagery client's granddaughter who is your fan."

"Oh? It turned out that I was asked to help. ”

"Yes."

"Then what do I get paid?"

"What do you want?" Ji Xincheng hadn't thought about it yet, but he heard Gu Shaoze say again, "My whole person is yours, what else do you want, huh?" ”

His raised tail note made Ji Xincheng's heart tremble, preventing him from continuing to approach, after all, in public.

"Mr. Gu, Mrs. Gu, hello!"

The two of them turned sideways at the same time, and in front of them was an old man with silver hair, a suit and leather shoes, and a little girl holding his arms in a snow-white tulle dress.

It's probably the image customer that Gu Shaoze said, Ji Xincheng thought.

Sure enough, Gu Shaoze humbly stepped forward to shake hands with the old man, and then introduced Ji Xincheng to them, "This is my wife, Ji Xincheng." Xin Cheng, this is Dong Chou, and Miss Su, the granddaughter of Dong Chou. ”

Ji Xincheng greeted them one by one, and then stood quietly beside Gu Shaoze and listened to him talk to the old man.

In the meantime, that Miss Su did not shy away from falling on Ji Xincheng, Ji Xincheng smiled back at her after noticing, and the girl interjected when her grandfather's conversation stopped for a while, "Grandpa, can I take a photo with this sister?" ”

Although she asked her grandfather, her eyes quickly walked around Gu Shaoze and Ji Xincheng's faces.

"You'll probably have to ask your sister in person." That Zhou Dong also replied very politely.

Ji Xincheng didn't wait for the girl to really turn around and ask again, so he stretched out his hand to her, "Of course you can." ”

"Thank you!" The little girl thanked her solemnly, and then walked up to Ji Xincheng's side, and her gestures were very well-behaved.

After the two stood up, Gu Shaoze took pictures for them, and the old man stood beside Gu Shaoze, as if he had no intention of explaining: "This girl is your wife's fan, but I like her." ”

Gu Shaoze was originally staring at the screen of his mobile phone, but then he glanced back at the old man in surprise, "Really?" That's my wife's pleasure. ”

Looking at the old man and smiling, Gu Shaoze did not stop giving advice to the two people in the camera.

It wasn't until the grandfather and grandson were far away that Ji Xincheng returned to normalcy and teased Gu Shaoze, "You investigated them beforehand?" ”

"It's all public information, and if you know it, it's not an investigation."

"But how do you know he's going to bring his granddaughter tonight?"

"I don't know, I just accidentally passed on the news to Miss Su that you would come to this party, and I was very interested in the resources that her grandfather had at hand."

"Did you just talk about something?"

"No, it's good to make an impression on the other party when we meet for the first time, this is not my main battlefield."

"So you're so cunning!"

Gu Shaoze smiled without saying a word, his sharp eyes looked behind her through Ji Xincheng's shoulder, and said meaningfully, "My main battle object is here." ”

Ji Xincheng followed him and looked over, only to see that in the crowd, there was another old man, Ji Xincheng didn't want to stand beside him as a vase, so he said, "You go, I'll wait for you here?" ”

"Okay, don't run around."

"Got it."

As soon as Gu Shaoze left, Ji Xincheng naturally gathered a few noble ladies around him, and they were cautious about Ji Xincheng's compliments, as if they were not sure what she was coming from, and they were not very optimistic and unwilling to miss it.

Ji Xincheng is not good at dealing with these people, so she can barely cope with a few words, and when they turn to the luxury goods they may be more interested in, when they are not abrupt, she excuses herself to go to the bathroom to say goodbye.

Coming out of the bathroom, he saw a waiter passing by with a large plate of sweet wine, Ji Xincheng took a second look, and the other party thought she was interested, so he stopped and asked him if he needed it.

"No thanks!"

"Over there is our wine room, and the sweet wines are freshly made by the bartenders, so you can visit them if you are interested."

It just so happened that Ji Xincheng didn't want to return to the pile of noble ladies, so he nodded to the waiter, and as soon as he left, she walked to the wine room. The wine room is very large, and Ji Xincheng thought that Gu Shaoze named the sweet wine here as worth trying, probably because he had worked hard.

Ji Xincheng looked at the rows of all kinds of Chinese and foreign famous wines arranged in a very elegant arrangement, and before she walked to the workbench of the bartender in the innermost, a familiar figure suddenly flashed in the afterglow, and immediately attracted her attention.

That figure, because she played her stand-in, is very familiar.

Almost without hesitation, Ji Xincheng raised his feet and followed.

Why is she here? This drinking party is mostly celebrities from the political and business worlds, is it possible that the person behind her is the person who asked her to kidnap herself last time? Who exactly?

Out of the wine room, Ji Xincheng saw the light yellow figure disappear at the corner of the stairs, and chased after it without hesitation, the other party seemed to be in a hurry, Ji Xincheng followed quickly, she didn't notice it, probably because of the thick carpet under her feet, Ji Xincheng continued to be silent and followed her to the second floor.

The girl entered a room and immediately closed the door, Ji Xincheng was apprehensive, thinking about whether to step forward in the dark, but soon the girl came out of the room and looked left and right with a hint of panic before leaving the room.

After Ji Xincheng waited for her to leave, he came to the door of the room, with the mentality of giving it a try, but he didn't expect the door to be opened.

The light in the room was dim, but he could still see clearly, there was a person lying on the floor with a whole body paralyzed, when Ji Xincheng saw that it was Qiu Shang, he was shocked, he couldn't care too much, and hurriedly turned on the light.

Due to the panic, she pressed the remote control box all the time, turned on the beautiful lantern, and flickered and flickered, but she couldn't find other lights for a long time, so she simply ignored it.

"Qiu Shang? Qiu Shang! Wake up! Can you hear me? Qiu Shang? ……”

Ji Xincheng knelt on the floor, patted Qiu Shang's shoulder, pinched him, but there was no response, and reached out to probe his carotid artery, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief. Leaned over and sniffed, he didn't drink, and then looked at his limbs, there were no traces of trauma, Ji Xincheng didn't know what was wrong with him, she had to take out her mobile phone and dial Gu Shaoze without thinking too much.

"I'm sorry, the call you made is on the phone......" Only the cold mechanical female voice kept ringing on the phone.

Ji Xincheng put his mobile phone on the floor, and continued to call Gu Shaoze while doing cardiopulmonary resuscitation first aid operations for Qiu Shang.
