He Chenxi's eyes were closed, she was already powerless to struggle. From the moment she entered this room, all her psychological defenses had collapsed. She even wanted to sink into this dim space forever, giving up all thoughts of escape. When Gu Shengze repeated the familiar actions in his memory, He Chenxi thought in a trance that he had returned to the time when he was still in the distant mountain villa.

But what she clearly knew was that the place where they were was was not the spacious room in the distant mountain villa at all. This lounge is so stuffy that it doesn't feel like it's talking. Whenever she wanted to say something, Gu Shengze's hot and moist lips would be blocked, and his meaning was very obvious, that is, to ask her not to say anything more to ruin the atmosphere.

By now, the struggle has turned into hypocrisy.

This is probably the first time He Chenxi feels depressed and hopeless, even so, she is still happy and complicated. Because this man doesn't belong to her.

I don't know how long later, the lights in the staff lounge came back on, and under the bright incandescent lamp, He Chenxi lowered his head and tidied up his clothes silently. On her face, Gu Shengze couldn't see any expression ups and downs.

"Tell me, how much do you want?"

The moment Gu Shengze finished saying this, He Chenxi's action of buttoning the button also stopped. The corners of her mouth twitched, revealing a smile that looked like she was laughing at something. Only she understood that the smile was mocking herself. At that time, she really thought that she was something very important to Gu Shengze. But now, it doesn't seem to be.

"How much do you think I'm worth? It wasn't meant to be a deal anyway, and I wasn't in a position to bargain. It's up to you. ”

After saying this, He Chenxi put on his shoes and walked out of the staff lounge.

The whole lounge was so quiet that it was as if nothing had happened. Gu Shengze even felt that He Chenxi had never been here. But the lingering memory of touch made Gu Shengze completely understand that this was all real, and there was no half-falsehood.

He Chenxi picked up her handbag on the aisle, took out her mobile phone from it, and pressed the phone screen, she could clearly see the more than ten missed calls displayed on the screen. These missed calls are all from Feng Ruolin. He Chenxi bit her lip, put the phone back into her handbag, and then walked briskly towards the company's elevator.

Shen family.

In front of a table of sumptuous delicacies, the smile on Feng Ruolin's face was still faint and alienated. Shen's father is a middle-aged man who likes to joke, and Shen's mother is a well-informed and virtuous woman. Sitting next to Feng Ruolin was Shen Yanran, who had a hundred points of smile and etiquette.

"Eat more, Ruolin. I don't know if any of these dishes are to your liking. ”

Father Shen suddenly said to Feng Ruolin, with a particularly kind smile on his slightly old face. To be honest, it was hard for Feng Ruolin to imagine that such a kind person was particularly strict with his daughter. If it wasn't clear, Feng Ruolin might really think that Father Shen, like other fathers in high society, was a father who doted on his daughter to the extreme.

"Thank you, uncle."

"Recently, I heard that your father is busy, so I couldn't ask him out for a good meal, when will your father be free? I'd like to ask your family out for a good meal. ”

Father Shen glanced at Shen Yanran, who was sitting next to Feng Ruolin, obviously, Father Shen was planning to filter out all the things that happened at the CHICO Star Charity Dinner in his head, completely.

After noticing the hint in her father's eyes, Shen Yanran hurriedly skillfully made up a particularly sweet and sticky smile on her face, and slowly said to Feng Ruolin who was sitting next to her.

"That's right, Brother Ruolin. I really want to have a meal with Uncle Feng and Aunt Feng, I haven't been able to meet them for so long since I returned to China. ”

Shen Yanran's expression comparable to that of a professional actor made Feng Ruolin want to call her in her heart. Holding back a smile, Feng Ruolin squeezed out a welcome smile and looked up at Father Shen.

"Uncle Shen, I don't know much about my father's schedule. If you want to ask my father out for dinner, you can contact my father's secretary directly, and as for my mother, she is very free in many cases. When I'm done eating, I'll give you the phone number of my father's secretary, so that you don't have to worry about it all the time. ”

Mother Shen, who was sitting next to Shen's father, was a dignified woman, and it could be easily deduced from her current appearance that she must have been an out-and-out beauty when she was young. As far as Feng Ruolin knows, Shen's mother was born in a scholarly family and is a well-read woman. When she heard this, she said lightly, and when she spoke, the smile on her face was still just right.

"If your mother is free one day, I would like to go out for afternoon tea with your mother."

"Then I'll leave my mother's contact number for you later?"

Feng Ruolin really couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to say. In fact, he was really disgusted by this kind of welcome, but this is the Shen family, he is a guest, and there is really no need to make some messy things. Anyway, it's just at the level of friends. Thinking of this, Feng Ruolin couldn't help but think of He Chenxi, who had lost contact.

If He Chenxi was there, these things would be easy to do. But this woman fell off the chain at a critical time.

Although his inner thoughts were like this, Feng Ruolin's face still had a flat smile, he cut the medium-rare steak and poured the steak with a special sauce, he didn't know that these sauces alone were already worth a lot of money. The Shen family's taste is not boastful. Of course, Feng Ruolin is forced to do so now, so nothing tastes good when he eats. Just as Feng Ruolin wanted to say something to adjust the atmosphere, the housekeeper of the Shen family hurriedly walked in.

"Old, old man......"

Father Shen glanced at the butler who was out of breath and wanted to speak, and frowned. I guess I think the butler is acting a little inappropriately in front of the guests.

"What's the matter with you, Steward Liu?"

Although he was a little unhappy, Father Shen's face still retained his composure.

"Yes, a guest said that he came to find Mr. Feng, and now he is in the front hall, I, I don't know if to let her in."

"Guest, is it male or female?"

"It's a young lady."

After hearing that the person who came to find Feng Ruolin was a woman, the expression on Father Shen's face was a little unbearable, of course, he couldn't say anything. After all, after the whole dinner, he didn't mention the marriage of the two families to Feng Ruolin.

"Let her in."

Before Father Shen could speak, Feng Ruolin, who was sitting there, spoke. The expression on his face was obviously a lot of pleasure. You don't have to think about it to know who the young lady is waiting in the front hall now.

"I'm sorry Uncle Shen, I decided on my own, after all, I don't want her to wait too long."

Feng Ruolin glanced at the housekeeper who had retreated, and said apologetically to Father Shen. Of course, Father Shen has a look of "I don't mind", but only he knows what his heart is.

"It's okay, it's okay, since it's Ruolin's friend, let's come in."

As soon as Shen's father finished speaking, a slender girl stood at the door, smiling lightly. That girl was really unbelievably beautiful. Dress up decently and tie your hair in high braids.

"Sorry to interrupt. I'm Ruolin's girlfriend, Dawn. ”

As soon as this "girlfriend" came out, everyone at the dinner table was stunned, especially Father Shen, who was smiling cheerfully just now. The expression on his face froze directly on his face. Shen Yanran, who was sitting next to Feng Ruolin, was even more so, and the expression on her face could simply be described as stiff.

When everyone present was stunned, Feng Ruolin calmly stood up from his seat, the expression on his face was intertwined with tenderness and joy, making it easy for people to see that this was a unique expression when he saw a lover. He walked towards He Chenxi, who was standing by the door, step by step, and even his back was so clear.

"You're here? Why didn't you tell me before you came? ”

Seeing Feng Ruolin, who quickly entered the play, He Chenxi immediately "cooperated with the performance". Her eyebrows and eyes were bent, and what was reflected in her smiling eyes was Feng Ruolin's gentle face.

"Because it's a little boring to be alone at home, so I'm out looking for you."

This sweet and greasy conversation made Shen Yanran, who was sitting there, completely unable to sit still, and her hands holding knives and forks were trembling. Just when Shen Yanran wanted to stand up and say something, she was held down by Shen's mother. Mother Shen gave Shen Yanran a look, and then pressed her to sit down on the seat again.

"What are you standing up for?"

Mother Shen whispered.

Shen Yanran felt a little aggrieved and replied in a very small voice.

"Mom, he came to our house for dinner, and he actually brought that woman over, can't I stand up and say something?"

"Can you sit down first? People don't come here to eat and meet their parents, of course, we think they are. ”

Mother Shen was a little helpless, but she still said so.

"Why are you here now?"

Leaning closer to He Chenxi, Feng Ruolin asked in a low voice. He Chenxi was a little embarrassed, so he had to answer.

"There was a little delay for the time being, but I rushed over as soon as I dealt with it, I hope it didn't delay you."

Feng Ruolin's good-looking face showed a faint smile, the corners of his mouth hooked, and then he took He Chenxi's hand and brought her to the side of his seat.

"Ruolin, your girlfriend, has you officially introduced your father?"
