There were juice and snacks on the table at hand, and Cheng Ningyue took a sip of the juice.

Since Ye Xingzhi asked someone to bring her to the lounge, it must be that the cutscene that should be gone has already been completed, and she doesn't have to go down again, right?

It's good.

Cheng Ningyue simply scooped up the long skirt, revealing her straight and white calves, and sat cross-legged on the sofa planning to make a video call with Jiang Cha.

It should still be morning at this time abroad, and Jiang Cha is estimated to have gotten up to prepare for work at this time.

But the phone call went over and there was no answer.

After a while, Jiang Cha sent a voice message, saying that she was going to meet a father of Party A now, and would call her after work in the evening.

Cheng Ningyue sent her a fist-clenching emoji to cheer her over.

"Tuk Tuk ---"

The door of the lounge was suddenly knocked three times, Cheng Ningyue thought it was a waiter, and said, "Come in." ”

The doorway was pushed open from the outside.

Cheng Ningyue was still holding the juice in her hand, turned her head and said, "What's the matter---"

The expression on his face froze, and his gaze fell on the person who came in, as if he was frozen, and he couldn't take it off.

"Ji Shao."

A few seconds later, Cheng Ningyue hurriedly tidied up her skirt, stood up and shouted.

Ji Ci had a wry smile on his face, "Ning Yue, you refused to go abroad with me back then, was it because my grandfather asked people to go to you?" ”

“……”

Cheng Ningyue sighed, "...... It's not all, it's all in the past, Ji Shao should look forward. ”

Listening to her shouting one by one, Ji Ci's heart was as uncomfortable as a knife, he wanted to step forward, but restrained himself.

"What about marriage? I heard that you --- with Ye Xingzhi"

"That's what you heard," Cheng Ningyue interrupted him, "because the Cheng family needs the help of Sino-Ocean Group." ”

Ji Ci frowned, and before he could say anything, there was a knock at the door behind him.

Before the people inside could respond, the door had already been pushed open.

Ye Xingzhi came in, naturally walked over and grabbed Cheng Ningyue's hand, and asked softly, "Are you better?" ”

“……”

Cheng Ningyue didn't know why, her arms were covered with goosebumps from his tone, and she nodded, "It's much better." ”

Ye Xingzhi turned his head to look at Ji Ci at this time, "My wife is not feeling well today, let's go back first and get together another day." After speaking, he paused, and shouted again, "Ah Ci." ”

Hearing this 'Ah Ci', Cheng Ningyue almost choked on her own saliva.

Ji Ci's face was ugly, especially when he saw Ye Xing's hand on Cheng Ningyue's waist, and the hand hanging by his side couldn't help but clench it.

There was calm on his face, and he even smiled when Ye Xingzhi called him 'Ah Ci'.

"Okay, we'll see you another day."

Ye Xing put one hand around Cheng Ningyue's waist, and with the other hand, he lifted the shoulder of her one-shoulder skirt up and hugged her out of the lounge.

Cheng Ningyue felt as if the place on her chest was blocked with a ball of cotton, and she was about to lose her breath.

All the way down to the second floor.

Before the banquet was over, someone nearby saw the two people who came down from the upstairs in an intimate posture and looked over one after another.

There was a lot of whispering around them.

"That's Mr. Ye and Mrs. Ye? Am I blind, Mr. Ye actually hugged Mrs. Ye's waist??? ”

"Didn't you say that their husband and wife were not harmonious?"

"This Mrs. Ye is so beautiful, it's not uncommon to be able to win a flower like Mr. Ye."

"One thing to say, these two people are quite a good match when they stand together."

……

The whispering voices in my ears were finally inaudible.

After leaving the manor and getting into the car, Cheng Ningyue was relieved, leaned on the back of the chair and exhaled.

After leaving the manor, Ye Xingzhi let go of her.

It was a little hot, and when he got in the car, he took off his coat and tie loose, hanging crookedly around his neck.

Cheng Ningyue glanced over and saw his appearance, and four words flashed in her mind for a while: Sven scum!

"How do you feel tonight?"

Ye Xingzhi lowered the window of the car on his side halfway, put one hand on the window, and looked at Cheng Ningyue with raised eyebrows.

“……”

Cheng Ningyue pursed the corners of her lower lip, feeling that his question was a little funny, "Are you minding something?" ”

"I don't mind."

Ye Xingzhi took out a cigarette and a lighter from the pocket of his suit, lit it, and took a puff, "After all, you are now Mrs. Ye now." ”

Cheng Ningyue teased: "I didn't expect Mr. Ye to be quite generous." ”

Maybe it's because he didn't pay attention to Ji Ci at all.

Ye Xingzhi snorted, his phone rang a few times, and he typed to reply to the message, ignoring Cheng Ningyue's teasing.

It was late when I got home.

There was basically no food at the banquet, and Sister-in-law Tang was also afraid that they would be hungry, so she stewed a pot of black chicken soup in the kitchen before leaving.

The chicken soup was put in a thermos pot, and Cheng Ningyue didn't even bother to go upstairs to change her clothes, so she went to the kitchen to wash her hands and drink the soup first.

When she came in, Ye Xingzhi was still talking to someone on the phone in the car.

Cheng Ningyue drank half a bowl of chicken soup before Ye Xingzhi came in, his face was a little stinky, and he opened the refrigerator with a twisted brow and took water to drink.
