Chapter VI
"Chen Cheng, who is this?" Jiang Xue was the first to speak, and the hot breath she exhaled condensed into a white mist in the air, just obscuring her palm-sized face.
Hearing this, Chen Cheng quickly poked his head out of the trunk, "Miss Jiang Xue, you're here." There was also a flattering smile on his face, "This is Mr. Lu's newly hired life assistant, Jiang Sheng." ”
Jiang Xue narrowed her good-looking peach blossom eyes and looked at her from top to bottom, and then her lips lightly opened: "You are also surnamed Jiang?" ”
Jiang Sheng was slightly stunned, and explained in a gentle tone: "Well, it's just that I'm ginger of ginger." ”
Jiang Xue curled her lips and chuckled, retracted her gaze, turned to Chen Cheng and asked further, "Hasn't Zheng Ze come back yet?" I called him and didn't answer. ”
Zheng Ze, a very affectionate name, the gossip headline scandal does not seem to be groundless, Jiang Sheng stood at the door a little overwhelmed.
"Mr. Lu flew to Jinya for a meeting in the afternoon, it should be at the dinner party at this time, is there anything important for Miss Jiang Xue?"
Jiang Xue glanced at the suitcase in Chen Cheng's hand, took out sunglasses from her backpack and put them on, her face was very small, and the big frame directly covered half of it, so she couldn't see her expression.
"It's nothing, I'll contact him later." She turned around and dialed out a phone call and stepped out on the thin snow in the yard.
Jiang Sheng didn't know if the phone was picked up, she guessed that it should be called Lu Zhengze, and she also began to guess whether Lu Zhengze would come back tonight.
The villa is cleaned by a regular aunt, the basement is very clean, and there are separate bedrooms, bathrooms, living rooms, and a huge screening room on the entire floor.
Jiang Sheng brought very few items, and after three or two clicks, she took a shower and found a random movie to watch in the screening room.
Until 12 o'clock in the morning, there was no sound upstairs, Jiang Sheng turned off the screening and went back to the bedroom.
The next morning, Jiang Sheng woke up from sleep, but Lu Zhengze still did not come back.
There was still some leftover toast from yesterday in the kitchen, Jiang Sheng found a little peanut butter to spread it on, and sent it to his mouth.
It tasted good, she had a very sloppy life in Northern Russia, and she often ate a few pieces of black bread with milk for breakfast.
Walking out of the door and trying to search for a map and take a taxi, Chen Cheng was already waiting at the door in the car, the two did not communicate, he opened the door, and she got in the car.
Jiang Sheng sat in the back row and looked at her fingernails, her eyes wandered to the white gloves on the steering wheel, she wanted to ask Lu Zhengze where he was last night.
Eventually, as the car stopped, she strangled the thought in her throat.
She is a subordinate who has been sold for three months, and not meddling in the boss's private affairs is an essential element.
For two days, it was just her delivering the meal to the restaurant of Lu Zhengze's lounge at noon, and the two of them sat face to face and ate together without saying a word.
Chen Cheng will pick her up when she commutes, and Lu Zhengze has not been back for these two nights.
Until Christmas morning, Jiang Sheng opened his eyes and found Lu Zhengze lying on the edge of his bed.
His eyes were closed, and his long eyelashes were like angelic wings.
Jiang Sheng was afraid of waking him up, so he lifted the quilt lightly, and before his feet landed, he was overthrown on the bed by a strong force.
The man's lips touched and kissed all the way to her chest.
"I don't have to go to the company today."
Jiang Sheng grabbed the futon with both hands, lowered his head and kissed his sharp eyebrows: "Lu Zhengze, happy birthday."
She could feel the obvious sluggishness of the man in her arms, and her heart leaked half a beat.
Lu Zhengze took his head away from her arms and raised his face to look at her, his eyes empty and cold.
He remembered Christmas nine years ago, when it was snowing heavily, and the cold wind blew through his coat like an ice blade across every inch of his skin.
The next day he began to have a high fever and spent a week in a hospital bed, the closest he had ever been to death.
"Jiang Sheng, will you give me a gift today?" The corners of his mouth curled, and his gaze suddenly became gentle.
Jiang Sheng looked at him and smiled, but somehow he had to taste a hint of falsehood.
He didn't wait for Jiang Sheng to respond, he lowered his head and kissed her lips, gentle as water, no longer with the ferocity of the previous times.
"In the evening, I booked an open-air restaurant at the Aegean Hotel, and the dress will be delivered by Chen Cheng in the afternoon." Lu Zhengze cupped her face and whispered softly.
Jiang Sheng looked at this handsome face that was close, and was a little confused with that magnetic and warm voice.
Those who fell when they were teenagers seem to be dragged into the fallen again in the overlap of time.
"Okay." The girlish shy response also comes from the past time.
Lu Zhengze pressed his lips to her forehead again, closing his eyes as if kissing an incomparably fragile work of art.
And Jiang Sheng that night, when he thought of this scene again, he only felt extremely disgusting.
When Chen Cheng sent the dress, Lu Zhengze had already left under the pretext.
This time it was no longer a large delicate box, but scattered into seven or eight gift boxes, wrapped in red-green festive colored paper, each tied with a large red bow.
Jiang Sheng lay on the ground and opened them one by one, there were her favorite brand spring high heels that had just come out of the show, there were the armpit bags she often carried the brand's latest shelves, and her favorite dolls.
The gown was a beautiful red velvet bandeau dress with a ring of broken diamonds at the waist cutouts, which sparkled in the light.
Probably considering that it is an open-air restaurant, Lu Zhengze also thoughtfully matched a small black blazer this time, using sparkling materials to cast colorful lights.
Jiang Sheng took a bath, sprayed on his favorite rose perfume, and happily changed into the gift clothes selected by Lu Zhengze.
It's just that the necklace she sent, she didn't think it was a good match, and she found a pearl necklace from the jewelry she brought.
Her neck was as white and slender as a swan, and she wore that pearl necklace to make it even more elegant.
At seven o'clock in the evening, Chen Cheng drove her to the Aegean Hotel, and as soon as she got out of the car, a group of waiters led her to the open-air restaurant that had already been arranged.
The open-air restaurant, which originally welcomed many people, left only a single table, surrounded by beautiful red roses, which mirrored Jiang Sheng's red lips.
Although this open-air restaurant is open-air, it has floor heating and a lot of heaters placed around it, so Jiang Sheng will not be particularly cold when he sits there.
But until ten o'clock in the evening, Lu Zhengze did not come as promised.
Jiang Sheng only thought he was busy at first, and didn't care, until he couldn't bear to call him, but no one answered.
Then came the shutdown, along with Chen Cheng's.
She was a little flustered and wanted to go out, but was rejected by the waiters, and they said to her with a professional smile on the corner of their mouths: "Miss Jiang, Mr. Lu instructed that you can't leave before he comes." ”
It wasn't until she called Sasha that she realized that she was just a clown being teased tonight.
"Mr. Lu held a birthday party at the Grand Banquet Pavilion tonight, didn't you receive the notice?"
After Jiang Sheng hung up the phone, Sasha sent her a message on WeChat.
She clicked on it, and it was a video.
In the dim light, the voices were noisy, and the man sat in the middle of the crowd, he leaned lazily on the back of the sofa, his hands on the armrests of the sofa, his legs folded.
On the side, Jiang Xue's beautiful face rested on his shoulder, and the men and women around him laughed and laughed.
Jiang Sheng lay on the dining table and threw her mobile phone into the steaming bucket in front of her, and the waiters in a row still looked at her with the same smile.
Without Lu Zhengze's order, she couldn't get out, and the wind around her suddenly became biting.
Then she poured a bottle of red wine and fell drunk on the red rose.
When she closed her eyes, she felt snowflakes fall on her eyelashes, melt into water and slide out of the corners of her eyes.
