Yan Qing's first impre...
Chapter 48
The post has been very popular. Everyone knows about this gigolo and cheater. Zhou Mingshu didn't have to do anything about it. She just wanted to vent her anger. He had deceived her so much, and it was obviously not her style to let him go.
Yan Qing will drive to South City with Ming Xu in the evening, and Zhou Mingshu will be flying on Saturday morning.
During the day, she not only had to pack the clothes she would need for this trip, but also went to her new home to check what things she needed to buy.
In fact, she had only visited the new home once before the transaction, and all matters afterwards were handled by Yan Zheng and his parents.
Ming Xu was a little unhappy when he learned that Yan Qing was going to buy furniture in the afternoon: "Let's go together when we get back from Nancheng. Shouldn't I ask my boyfriend to do this kind of work?"
"Okay, then I'll wait for you to go together." Yan Qing was glad that she made this call, otherwise, given Ming Xu's personality, he would definitely remember it for a long time. "Have you packed your things?"
She asked casually, and Mingxu replied, "I've packed it, but I don't know what color clothes you're wearing. I want to wear the same thing as you."
Yan Qing laughed. Is this an attempt to assert sovereignty?
Hearing Yan Qingxiao, Ming Xu said: "If you don't like me, I won't do it."
“I don’t dislike it.”
In her novels, the male and female protagonists never seem to wear couple outfits, so it seems possible to write it this way.
Seeing Yan Qing stopped talking, Ming Xu prepared to finish his work quickly and leave: "I have something else to do, I'll find you after get off work."
After hanging up Mingxu's phone, Yan Zheng's message came, saying that he was in the new house and asked her if she could come. Yan Qing looked at the messy suitcase and refused: "Uncle, you can do whatever you want. I have to go to South City to attend a friend's wedding."
At three o'clock in the afternoon, everyone else was at work, but Mingxu slipped away from the office.
The assistant watched him hurriedly leave and sent a message to his real boss: "Boss Ming! Boss Ming ran away again."
Mingli looked at the message and felt like his own child was being reported by the teacher for skipping class.
[On Friday, just let him be.]
Gao Lu, who was in a meeting at the time, suddenly sneezed. He wondered if he had caught a cold that morning. "It's not even October yet, and the temperature is going to drop?"
In previous years, people could still wear light clothing in Haicheng even in November.
As soon as I returned to the B&B, I ran into Wang Zhiyun who was about to go out. He looked at Ming Xu who had hurried back and asked, "You got off work so early today?"
Ming Xu looked at the person who usually hid in his room but was unusually going out today, and was also confused: "Where are you going?"
"To the battlefield."
"They are coming."
Wang Zhiyun nodded, looking disgusted: "I must make them pay the price this time, otherwise I won't even be able to get married."
"Call me if you have anything." After saying that, Ming Xu was still thinking about his own things and wanted to go back to get his things and set off.
Wang Zhiyun pulled him back, changed his expression, and teased, "Are you going out too?"
As they were talking, Yan Qing went downstairs to pick up a package and saw the two people struggling. Ming Xu also saw her and quickly shook off Wang Zhiyun's hand.
Seeing the people he had met once, Wang Zhiyun's eyes moved between the two of them.
Ming Xu: "Get out of here now."
"Okay." After saying that, he smiled at Yan Qing and left.
Yan Qing then stepped forward and said, "I bought a pair of shoes a few days ago. They just happened to arrive today. I'll go get them first."
"I'm with you."
Liu Yuan at the front desk saw the interaction between the two and immediately stared: "Wow, the boss and Miss Yan are real."
The colleague next to her was puzzled and leaned over to look in her direction, but saw nothing: "What are you talking about? Why don't I see the boss? Who is the boss with?"
Liu Yuan said with a sad face: "If you speak louder, the boss will come over and tell you in person."
"What is it? Tell me quickly, I promise not to tell anyone."
As the two were talking, Ming Xu passed by the front desk.
Only after he left did Liu Yuan breathe a sigh of relief, and her colleagues didn't dare to pester her with any more questions.
Yan Qing put on the new shoes directly and went to the garage with the box.
"Didn't you say you would wait for me in the lobby?" Ming Xu was late.
"The hall is bustling with people." Yan Qing expressed her concerns. She still didn't want her feelings to be discussed by too many people, not to mention that the people here were all Ming Xu's subordinates.
Mingxu said nothing and put the box away.
After getting in the car, he did not navigate directly to Nancheng, but to a hotel in Haicheng.
He explained, "Yang Mingzhou lives here. Let's go pick him up."
"Why doesn't he live with you?"
Yan Qing didn't think much about it. Yang Mingzhou seemed to live here in the past, so why did he live so far away this time? Besides, Mingxu didn't tell her that he wanted to go with him.
Ming Xu glanced at the people around him: "He came here with his sister. They just arrived this morning. Knowing that we were going to drive over, he wanted to go with us."
When they arrived at the hotel where Yang Mingzhou was staying, he had not come down yet. Ming Xu was about to go upstairs to find him when he saw a familiar person.
"Zhao Qi?"
"Brother?" Seeing Ming Xu, Zhao Qi immediately let go of the hand of the person next to him and put on a flattering smile: "Brother, why are you here?"
As he spoke, he observed Ming Xu. Seeing that he was alone and didn't even have a bag, Zhao Qi finally felt relieved: "Brother, are you here to look for someone?"
Ming Xu glanced at the girl next to Zhao Qi, then looked at him and asked sharply, "When did you come back?"
Zhao Qi felt a little guilty and was thinking about how to hide the truth when he heard someone calling Ming Xu.
The three of them looked over and saw that it was Yang Mingzhou.
Yang Mingzhou and Zhao Qi knew each other.
"Brother Mingzhou?" Zhao Qi suddenly realized, "So my brother is here to see you?"
Yang Mingzhou was in a good mood and didn't notice the calm before the storm on Ming Xu's part: "Are you back to Haicheng? When will you graduate?" He had no idea why Zhao Qi would appear in the hotel.
Zhao Qi now just wants Ming Xu to leave quickly, otherwise he can't guarantee that he will not be beaten here.
Looking at Yang Mingzhou dragging a suitcase, Zhao Qi urged: "Are you planning to go out?"
"yes."
After saying that, Yang Mingzhou began to urge Mingxu: "Hurry up and go, isn't your girlfriend still waiting?"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the two people present changed. Ming Xu glared at Yang Mingzhou, but Zhao Qi's eyes were shining and his tone was also gossipy: "Brother, do I have a sister-in-law? Show me."
Mingxu ignored him: "Let's go."
Looking at the backs of the two people leaving, Zhao Qi breathed a sigh of relief, but the person next to him didn't think so.
He was about to grab the hand of the person next to him, but was pushed away.
Seeing his girlfriend's unhappy face, he quickly comforted her: "I came back secretly this time. If my brother knew that I skipped classes to go back home for a relationship, he would beat me to death. Baby, for the sake of our love, please don't be angry, okay?"
"Zhao Qi, don't do this. I won't fall for it. Besides, your brother doesn't look that scary. He even hit you. Do your parents know he would hit you?"
Zhao Qi didn't want to be in public, so he had to continue to coax her humbly: "Can we talk about it when we get back?"
"You'd better be able to give me a satisfactory answer when you return, otherwise you can go back to where you came from."
Seeing Ming Xu and Yang Mingzhou coming out, Yan Qing got out of the car and greeted Yang Mingzhou: "Boss."
Yang Mingzhou was still as familiar as ever: "Seeing you two achieve your goal, my mission is also accomplished."
"Stop talking nonsense?" Ming Xu kicked him.
Now that he had someone to complain to, Yang Mingzhou immediately seized the opportunity: "Look at him, he always beats me up. You should take care of him."
Watching the two interact, Yan Qing smiled but did not participate.
After getting in the car, Yang Mingzhou continued to tease, "Isn't the leader of a gang equivalent to a head of a family? Of course I'm happy that you two have succeeded in getting together."
After saying that, he leaned back on the passenger seat and asked Yan Qing quietly, "Do you want to know his secret?"
Ming Xu also heard it but didn't say anything.
Yan Qing was actually interested, but she didn't know what Yang Mingzhou could say. "Okay, go ahead."
A sly glint flashed in Yang Mingzhou's eyes, and he chuckled. Seeing that Ming Xu had remained silent, he became bolder: "When you left so suddenly, he was very sad for a long time. I saw that he had lost a lot of weight in those few days."
As soon as he said this, there was explosive news. Ming Xu didn't expect that Yang Mingzhou had noticed it, and he coughed a few times.
Yang Mingzhou picked up on this and said, "See? Everything I said is true."
Yan Qing leaned over to look at Ming Xu. Although it looked like she was talking to Yang Mingzhou, she was actually asking him, "How did you figure that out?"
"That's easy. When you were here, his happiest time of the day was playing games in his dorm after class. After you left, he didn't turn on his computer for half a year. When he was about to graduate, he remembered he had a computer, but it didn't work. I asked him to buy a new one, but he refused, saying there was something important in it." After saying that, Yang Mingzhou looked at Ming Xu and asked, "What is that important thing?"
Mingxu didn't answer.
The computer was later repaired in many places, and the contents inside were copied to a hard drive.
Seeing that Ming Xu didn't stop him, Yang Mingzhou became even more unscrupulous, and asked with a sly look: "What else do you want to know?"
Yan Qing thought for a moment and asked, "Has he really never played with other girls in the game?"
"Girls?" Yang Mingzhou seemed to have heard something incredible. "Don't even mention him playing with girls. At first, I couldn't even let girls play with him."
"Why?"
Ming Xu finally spoke up: "He always speaks in a pinched voice when talking to girls. It's disgusting."
"Ming Xu! Could you please stop slandering me?"
"You can ask [Pink Lightning], we played competitively for a long time back then, and I didn't even know she had a romantic partner. Yang Mingzhou was like a peacock every day."
After hearing his own embarrassing story, Yang Mingzhou huddled in the back seat with his arms folded.
Yan Qing found it interesting, but she didn't want Mingxu to be distracted while driving, so she quickly comforted Yang Mingzhou: "I'll help you teach him a lesson when we get to the service area. You can tell me something else later."
Yang Mingzhou was a little happier now, but he wasn't going to let Mingxu off so easily. After all, they were a couple, so he decided to reveal a big secret: "The first time Mingxu saw you in Haicheng, he was thinking about how to win you over."
"Yang Mingzhou!"
"I asked for your WeChat account for him. It's not unreasonable for me to sit at the head table at your wedding, right?"
If he wasn't driving, Ming Xu would have thrown him into the trunk. "I'll open a separate table for you."
Haicheng is more than 300 kilometers away from Nancheng. After driving for an hour, Yan Qing suggested changing the driver.
She volunteered: "Let me drive, there aren't many cars now.
They both rejected it in unison.
As expected, the new driver was Yang Mingzhou, Ming Xu was in the passenger seat, and Yan Qing went to the back seat.
At that time, the driver could not be distracted by gossip, and Yang Mingzhou was a little bored. Fortunately, Yan Qing brought some snacks, so he would not be too bored.
"Mingxu, I want to eat beef jerky."
"Mingxu, dried fruit, I want to eat dried mango."
"Mingxu, give me some water. I'm dying of thirst."
Mingxu's face was darker than the asphalt road outside: "Please stop at the next service area."
"You need to go to the bathroom? Why didn't you go just now? There are still more than 50 kilometers to go. Can you bear it?"
