July 2nd

When I woke up, it was past eleven o'clock the next day. The sun was shining outside and the intensity of the light made me feel like the temperature was high today. Early summer is gradual, and midsummer is coming.

I used to look at the pillow, Luo Shicheng had already gone to the company, and left me a note as usual. I picked up the note and looked at the handwriting on it: Bing'er, breakfast is on the coffee table. Remember, don't go out without my permission in the future! Before you go out, you must ask me for leave! Otherwise, you'll be grounded! If you're half-skeptical about it, give it a try. The temperature in my heart, after reading this note, instantly dropped to the freezing point.

Luo Shicheng has always been vigorous and resolute, and he does what he says. I'm not so stupid to take an egg and hit it on a rock. Let me take a leave of absence, and I'll take a leave of absence for everything, as long as he doesn't get annoyed. I don't believe it, he is usually so busy, and he has the time to listen to me constantly ask him for leave!

I finished washing up and opened my phone while eating. In the information prompt, there were more than a dozen missed calls from Du Xiaofan. I hurriedly called Du Xiaofan back, and she quickly picked up the phone and asked me what happened yesterday? I told her a rough idea of what happened before and after what happened to Ma Chu. I also told her that I was almost destroyed in the hands of Ma Chu last night, but fortunately, Chen Jiao arrived and took the initiative to confess that Ma Chu's nude photos were uploaded to the Internet by her, and I was able to clear my name.

Du Xiaofan took the trouble to interrupt me and ask for all kinds of details. I answered honestly, but she still had a lot of questions. Finally, Du Xiaofan interrupted me impatiently, Bing'er, let's go out to eat at noon, I haven't talked together for so long.

I was silent for a while, and said embarrassedly, yes, yes, but I want to ask Luo Shicheng for leave in advance. Otherwise, he wouldn't let me go out casually in the future.

Du Xiaofan was on the other side of the phone, and whistled, Okay, Bing'er, you are now under house arrest, the whole caged bird!

I called Luo Shicheng.

Hey, Bing'er, did you wake up? Luo Shicheng's beautiful voice came from the other side of the phone, gentle and sweet.

Well, woke up. Du Xiaofan, you want me to go out to eat together, I'll ask you for a leave. I'm a little embarrassed, I'm such a big person, and I have to ask people for leave when I go out. This reminds me of writing a leave note to my teacher when I was an elementary school student.

Well, Bing'er, so obedient. You can go, but if you go to eat at Xicheng, you can go alone. If you're going to eat somewhere else, I'll have to find someone to accompany you!" Luo Shicheng's words were gentle and kind, but they were full of command.

I had no choice but to obey unconditionally. I said to Luo Shicheng, then let's go to Xicheng for dinner.

Luo Shicheng laughed twice, sounding very satisfied. Bing'er, Zhang Feng happened to be running errands outside, and I asked him to send you to Xicheng. Well, he'll get you there and he'll rush back to the company and won't bother you.

Luo Shicheng guessed my mind at once.

I called Du Xiaofan and asked her to wait for me at the hotel in Xicheng, saying that I would be there in a while, and Zhang Feng would pick me up.

I had just finished changing my clothes and it was only five minutes before I heard a knock on my door. I opened the door in confusion and was surprised to see that it was Zhang Feng standing outside the door. He came to pick me up so quickly?

Zhang Feng, did you come from the airborne? How can it be so fast? I asked him curiously.

Zhang Feng smiled and scratched his head, I happened to be in my eldest brother's office, and I will be here for you a few floors down.

Luo Shicheng has an office in this apartment? He never said it to me. No wonder, I once ran into the garden early on a rainy morning, and finally found a place where no one was crying, only to find Luo Shicheng standing behind me, holding up a big umbrella for me. At the time, I wondered how he could be here. At the time, I didn't know that the apartment was his property.

Zhang Feng looked at me with a confused look on his face, and added, This is the case. The eldest brother, in his spare time, will like to stay in this secluded town for a few days. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the air is fresh. However, if there is an urgent matter in the company, he will temporarily notify the relevant personnel to come here for a meeting. In this life, in addition to work, there is almost no pure vacation, he is very hard and desperate!

I nodded blankly and followed Zhang Feng out.

Zhang Feng has an introverted personality and does not talk as much as Xi Cheng. Along the way, we rarely communicated. He drove his car and I looked out the window at the scenery. Green trees, orchards, one after another. The fruit stalls on the roadside are next to each other, and in front of each stall there is a wooden sign that reads, "Welcome to the garden for picking". Under the scorching sun, the growers eagerly watched the passing vehicles. As soon as a vehicle stops, they will greet it enthusiastically.

Zhang Feng sent me into the hotel lobby, and only after seeing Xi Cheng did he turn around and leave. Xi Cheng called out to him and asked the waiter to bring over a takeaway box and hand it to Zhang Feng. This is fresh food that has just disembarked from the ship, it has just been made, you and your eldest brother can eat it at noon!

Zhang Feng smiled, carried the box, walked forward without looking back, and threw down a sentence: Take it, no thanks!

Xi Cheng shook his head helplessly. He watched Zhang Feng walk out of the door, and then said to me, sister-in-law, Du Xiaofan has arrived, I will lead you over, it is still the room where we had a party with my eldest brother last time.

I followed Xi Cheng into the room and saw Du Xiaofan looking at me with a smile. She eagerly stepped forward and asked me, were you okay last night? Luo Shicheng is difficult for you, don't you?

Before I could speak, Xi Cheng interjected behind him. Du Xiaofan, my eldest brother doesn't love his sister-in-law enough, where can he be willing to be embarrassed? Even if it's really difficult, I'm afraid it's a different way to love love! Right, sister-in-law?

Xi Cheng's words made my face warm and my heart beat. I glanced at him and didn't speak.

Xi Cheng smiled and said, Okay, sister-in-law, I'll ask the waiter to serve you food right away. In the future, if you want to come out to eat, come here. Speaking of home, when I first opened this hotel, the main reason was that the eldest brother was for the convenience of receiving the company's customers. I spent six years in Japan, first as an apprentice at a restaurant for two years, and then opened a small restaurant on my own. Later, my eldest brother asked me to return to China and invested in opening this Japanese restaurant for me. At first, the store was only one floor, but I didn't expect the business to grow bigger and bigger, and it simply expanded into a large hotel. Eat, drink and be merry here, and you don't lack anything you need.

Du Xiaofan sighed and said, you Luo is really courageous, you are really young and promising! Xicheng, come over when you're done, let's eat together!

Ok no problem! Xi Cheng happily agreed, with a warm smile on his face and a red glow on his chubby face. I looked at Xi Cheng and then at Du Xiaofan, and felt that they seemed to be very close to each other.

Du Xiaofan pestered me, asking this and that. She asked me in detail about the experience of the previous night, refusing to let go of the details. In the end, she said, in fact, Ma Chu is quite pitiful, he is now ruined, is there still a way to mix in his hometown? Alas, it's just blame, he shouldn't provoke Luo Shicheng. Bing'er, if you marry Luo Shicheng in the future, you will be like a tiger, you must be good at yourself!

I nodded melancholy. Xiaofan, if I could, I would actually want to leave him. Because, I am always afraid of him in my heart, and I can't see through him. In addition, I don't like this kind of passive emotion, everything is his choice, and I can only obey and be chosen. If he gets tired of me one day, I'm relieved.

By the way, Bing'er, did you take the birth control pill you took from me some time ago? Du Xiaofan asked me in a low voice.

I said a little shyly that I ate it, and every time I ate it secretly while he was asleep.

That's good, Bing'er. Since you don't want to marry him now, you can only delay it one day at a time, but you must not get pregnant. Otherwise, you really don't have a choice in your life. However, Luo Shicheng, I have inquired for you. We really can't afford to mess with this person. Many people in the business field talk about him. However, I heard that although he is an invincible person, he is benevolent, loyal and open-minded. If you are sincere to him, it is estimated that he will not treat you badly in the future.

We were talking about Luo Shicheng, and Xicheng pushed the door in. He sat down with a smile and asked, "Are you muttering about my big brother?"

Du Xiaofan raised his eyebrows and said without hesitation, yes, can't you talk about him? Will he slaughter us?

Xi Cheng pursed his lips and smiled. Big brother, he naturally won't kill you. But if someone else is unrighteous to him, it will be difficult to say.

Du Xiaofan pursed his lips and said to Xi Cheng, Hey, you tell us about Luo Shicheng, we don't know anything about him.

I thought Xi Cheng would refuse, but I didn't expect him to agree in one bite. Since the two beauties want to hear it, I'll tell you about my eldest brother's sad history!

Du Xiaofan and I glanced at each other. What, he still has a history of sadness? We asked in unison.

I secretly guessed. I once heard Luo Shicheng say that his mother died early, and his father then married a little wife, and later emigrated abroad. As for his other experiences, I really don't know, he rarely talks about himself.

I was about to listen when my phone rang. I glanced at the phone screen, and it was Chen Jiao's phone number. I frowned, undecided, or not.

Du Xiaofan asked me suspiciously, Bing'er, who called you?

I glanced up at Du Xiaofan, and said with some unhappiness that it was Chen Jiao's call, and it was Ma Chu's little lover.

When Xi Cheng heard this, his face changed slightly, and he got up and left, saying that he would prepare some more food for us.

I thought about it and picked up the phone. Chen Jiao's miserable cry came directly from inside. My heart was upset, what was she sad about, why did she cry to me? Even if I think she is pathetic and pitiful, I have a knot in my heart for her after all, and I especially don't want to deal with her.

Chen Jiao, do you have anything to do with me? I said coldly.

Bai Bing, you don't know yet, do you? At about three o'clock in the morning today, a group of masked men in black knocked on Ma Chu's door, smashed Ma Chu's house to pieces, and then cleaned up Ma Chu. They threw down a stack of money and left. You can't even imagine, what did they do to Ma Chu? At this time, Ma Chu may really be abolished. Chen Jiao cried.

What the hell happened to Ma Chu? I asked impatiently. I have nothing to do with Ma Chu anymore, why did he come to me when something happened to him?

Chen Jiao took a steady breath and continued. Bai Bing, those people forcibly let Ma Chu split, and then 、、、、、、 lit the lighter!

I asked angrily, then why didn't you call the police at that time?

Ma Chu, don't let the police. He said that if I dared to call the police, he would die. Because he still has his parents and family, he doesn't want to be an enemy of this group. Chen Jiao said intermittently. Bai Bing, this must have been done by Luo Shicheng's people, can you help us plead for mercy, okay?

My heart rises and falls, imagining the horrific picture narrated by Chen Jiao. But in his mouth, he pretended to be calm and said to Chen Jiao, don't be so sure, you have to pay attention to evidence in everything. I finished and hung up.

Du Xiaofan has obviously heard the conversation between me and Chen Jiao clearly. She covered her mouth in horror and said: Damn, Luo Shicheng is too ruthless, right? Ma Chu, he didn't do anything to you last night, he just touched your neck, and he just killed you like this?

I comforted myself and muttered to myself, perhaps, this matter has nothing to do with Luo Shicheng. Perhaps, it was Ma Chu who offended others and was retaliated against? But in my heart, I still feel that this matter is related to Luo Shicheng.

I picked up my phone, trembled slightly, pressed down Luo Shicheng's phone, and clicked the dial button softly with my fingers. Beep, after two blind tones, the phone was picked up by Luo Shicheng.

Bing'er, how are you eating? What is needed, just tell the city. Luo Shicheng's words are full of love and tenderness.

We ate pretty well. I have something I want to ask you, which is 、、、、、、 about Ma Chu. Chen Jiao, she called me just now and said that something happened to Ma Chu. I muttered.

Luo Shicheng on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, and said indifferently, Bing'er, if I'm not mistaken, you have nothing to do with Ma Chu anymore. You are now my Luo Shicheng's woman, you have to correct your identity, think clearly about who you should care about and who you shouldn't care about, do you remember? Luo Shicheng's tone became cold in an instant.

I shuddered for a moment, and said timidly, I know, I just asked, and I didn't have anything else in mind.

Bing'er, if you want to know about this, let's talk about it in detail when we meet. By the way, I'll pick you up from Xicheng after I'm busy with the company's affairs in the afternoon, and we'll go together. Luo Shicheng did not admit it, nor did he deny it.

Du Xiaofan and I stared at each other with big eyes. Didn't Luo Shicheng's subordinates do this? Du Xiaofan frowned and asked me quietly.

When I met Luo Shicheng in the afternoon, I knew who did this? He said he would come and pick me up in the afternoon. My hands and feet were cold, and I was talking to Du Xiaofan absentmindedly.
