Chapter 375: Torture and Pleasure

In the restaurant, Shen Qingning drank the juice in the glass after clinking glasses with Lin Lu.

The juice was obviously sweet, but she tasted quite sour.

"Are you together now?" she said in her heart.

The cold girl lowered her eyes slightly, feeling a slight pain in her heart.

She didn't know how to describe how she felt at the moment.

Shen Qingning is a person who loves to read romantic and sad novels.

She has read many abusive novels, and often pays attention to some online book lists and everyone's book recommendations.

Among the physical books she bought, there were several extremely sad novels that were described by readers as "so sad that it made you breathless."

These books can really torture her.

However, that feeling was nothing compared to this moment!

At this moment, she had a lot to say and a lot of questions to ask.

But the words were stuck in my throat and I couldn't utter them.

She could see the happiness and joy in Lin Lu's eyes when he shared all this with her!

But all this only made the bitterness in her heart even more intense.

"Yes, I have always known that Lulu is someone who can't hide her feelings. When she likes someone, she will show it very obviously."

"She likes Cheng Zhu, so she will confess to him and express her love for him without any concealment in her daily life."

"And Lulu is so nice. Being with her makes me happy every day."

but

What about me?

She couldn't help but recall the look Cheng Zhu gave her when she last had dinner with him.

And every word he said that day.

And his back as he turned and left.

During this process, she clearly had the opportunity to do many things and she clearly had many opportunities to express her inner thoughts.

But she just kept retreating, retreating.

This tsundere girl is too pretentious.

You take one step forward, she takes half a step back.

You have to go one and a half steps further.

Lin Lu, on the other hand, is always carefree, enthusiastic and straightforward, and sometimes even extremely cocky.

As long as she likes you, you don't have to do anything, she will come to you.

At this moment, Shen Qingning had thousands of words to say.

But in the end, it just became one sentence: "Congratulations to you."

She gave Lin Lu a faint smile.

After the two chatted for a few more sentences, Shen Qingning said that she needed to go to the bathroom.

She is always so dignified and behaves appropriately when she is outside, not letting anyone know her true emotions, and maintaining her dignity and pride.

Lin Lu had no idea at all and didn't know that her best friend had actually become a loser.

Xiaolu sat alone at the dining table and picked up her phone to send a WeChat message to her boyfriend.

"Cheng Zhu, Cheng Zhu, call Cheng Zhu!"

"Received, received. Cheng Zhu received!"

The voice actress smiled, sent him a cute kitten emoji, and typed:

"I told Ningning, I told her we're in love!"

Cheng Zhu looked at the WeChat and replied calmly: "Really? What did she say?"

"Just congratulate us, what else can you say? You know, Ningning rarely expresses her emotions and thoughts."

"That's right," he replied.

Cheng Zhu looked at the WeChat message sent by Lin Lu, sighed silently, and then fell into deep thought.

After a few seconds, he received another message from Lin Lu.

"I heard from Ningning that her father plans to invest in your pomelo tea and wants her to join in as well."

"Yes, I have no objection to this matter. I am just thinking about some details." Cheng Zhuxian replied, expressing his attitude, and then asked: "What do you think?"

“I think it’s super great!” Lin Lu replied immediately, and then sent an emoticon of a dancing kitten.

As I said, a best friend joined her boyfriend’s entrepreneurial team - a perfect match!

Cheng Zhu: That’s what you said yourself!

He immediately sent a WeChat message: "Okay, I've actually thought about it a lot, I'll call Shen Minglang now."

“Okay!”

At this moment, Cheng Zhu’s idea was very simple: if we delay, something bad will happen.

After all, Shen Qingning knew the news that he and Lin Lu were together at this moment.

What exactly she was thinking and whether it would have an impact on the addition of grapefruit tea are all unknown.

After all, the love between men and women is something that is hard to predict.

Sometimes it can make even the most rational people lose their rationality.

This is also why it is said that the military advisor is also in love.

When you are a bystander, you may really show off. But when you really fall in love, you will find that those who drown are all good swimmers.

"Hello, cousin." Shen Minglang's tone was filled with anticipation after receiving Cheng Zhu's call.

"I've thought about it, and I think it would be generally fine for you and Shen Qingning to invest some more money." Cheng Zhu said.

"Okay! I've been waiting for you to say this!" Shen Minglang was inexplicably excited.

In his opinion, his father's willingness to give money is also a kind of alternative recognition of him?

And my cousin is willing to accept this investment, rounding it off, isn't that also a recognition of me, his cousin?

OK, OK, Hangzhou is still my success!

Although Shen Minglang recalled it carefully now, he still didn't understand why his father was suddenly willing to invest money, and why his cousin actually agreed?

Could it be true, as Old Shen said, that my cousin had intended to let our Shen family pay the tens of millions from the beginning, so he rejected Prin Capital's investment of 160 million?

"I can't figure it out. I can't figure it out at all! It feels like these people are imagining all kinds of dramas in their minds every day." Master Shen thought.

As for the fact that his father favored girls over boys and gave Ningning 40 million and only 20 million to himself, he didn't care.

He was even excited.

20 million? I can actually give him 20 million in his heart!

I have improved! I, Shen Minglang, have improved!

--Cool! ! !

"Cousin, I now really feel that the best decision I have made in the past few years is to add grapefruit tea!" Shen Minglang just felt relaxed all over.

These past two days, he has either been showing off or on his way to showing off.

At the same time, I also gained a great sense of accomplishment.

All the fatigue from the previous trip to Yun Province was swept away.

On the contrary, after pretending to be cool for too long, he gradually felt a sense of emptiness besides feeling extremely happy.

Mr. Shen actually began to yearn for work!

He hopes to contribute to the expansion this year.

"Don't forget, my cousin has emphasized many times that my job is very important and he won't trust anyone to do it!"

Shen Minglang, who had been subjected to repressive education from Shen Guoqiang since childhood, could feel the attention from Cheng Zhu.

"I am irreplaceable!" He was full of energy.

After dinner, Lin Lu and Shen Qingning returned to Building A of Xinhang Apartment together.

The cold and aloof girl has been either on a business trip with her brother or staying at home recently. She hasn't returned to the small house she lives together for more than a week.

Lin Lu seemed very happy tonight. As soon as he entered the house, he pulled her aside and said, "Ningning, I live alone in a three-bedroom apartment, and I think it's too lonely."

The two girls were sitting on the sofa and chatting. She could feel that Ningning was a little absent-minded today.

"Ningning, are you worried about something?" The straightforward Lin Lu asked immediately, with a look of concern on his face.

“No, I’m just a little tired recently.” Shen Qingning shook her head, her eyes slightly lowered.

"Roar! It's all Cheng Zhu and Shen Minglang's fault!" Lin Lu raised his hand to pinch Shen Qingning's shoulders and said, "Should we go for a SPA? Or should we go to bed early tonight?"

"Go to bed early." Shen Qingning replied.

"Well, I originally wanted to sleep with you today, but Ningning, my wife, we will be separated tonight!" The voice actor girl made a reluctant voice.

After they returned to their rooms, the cold girl received a call from her unreliable brother.

"Ningning, Cheng Zhu agreed, haha!" Master Shen was obviously very happy.

"How about I give you all the money?" Shen Qingning said suddenly amid his laughter.

"Uh." Shen Minglang was stunned by this sentence.

"No, Ningning, aren't you thinking too highly of me?" He said in an unusually sincere voice.

60 million, all for me? Dad is willing to do it?

Maybe I'm not worth that much in his heart!

"Didn't Old Shen say that this is part of your dowry?" Shen Minglang patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I will work hard to make your 40 million dowry appreciate in value in Youcha!"

Shen Qingning: “.”

For a moment, she felt that she had a lot of things in her heart, but in fact she didn't even have anyone to talk to.

Good girlfriends are not okay.

Neither can family members.

And it seems like all of this is her own fault?

After hanging up the phone, Shen Qingning put the phone on the bedside table to charge.

She immediately noticed the Land Rover keys and the Pikachu keychain placed on the bedside table.

This keychain was obtained by Cheng Zhu for her in the video game arcade.

The workmanship of Pikachu is quite exquisite, but the quality cannot be said to be particularly good. After using it for nearly half a year, several corners on the outside have been rubbed and faded.

A rich girl like her would not normally use such shabby items.

Shen Qingning looked at it absentmindedly for a long time, then got up and went to the bathroom to wash up.

When taking a bath, the hot water rushed over her body, flowing over her perky body, her flat belly, and finally her pair of slender legs with amazing proportions.

She took this hot bath for a long time, as if she wanted to soothe herself by taking a bath.

After returning to her room, she couldn't sleep.

As usual, she began to pick books from the shelf.

Finally, her eyes fell on a sadistic novel that she had read twice.

This romance novel is the pinnacle of her work.

Shen Qingning has read countless books, and her threshold of sadness is actually quite high. Ordinary books cannot hurt her, let alone make her cry.

But even though she liked this book so much, she only read it twice, purely because she was a little afraid to read it.

The first time she watched it, she cried three times.

The second time I watched it, it was still the same.

The three most abusive scenes always touched her heart and made her cry uncontrollably.

This tsundere girl is very strange. When she is in a bad mood, she will choose to read some very sad books.

The worse your mood and the more depressed you feel, the more torturous the book you choose.

As she watched, she inexplicably felt a mixture of torture and pleasure!

At this moment, she was upset, so she sat at the table and opened this top-level novel in her mind.

Shen Qingning used her right hand to turn the pages, while her left hand subconsciously stroked the bookmark.

——The bookmark made from the photo of her and Cheng Zhu.

She was clearly reading her favorite novel, but her attention kept wandering.

She would think of the night when the evening breeze blew, the dancing machine in the claw machine shop, the strawberry gift box he bought for her, and the special strawberry strawberry

She would think of every intimate contact, every time they pulled each other apart and how she silently pushed him away, and many, many other things.

It’s like turning the pages of memories.

As for the content of the novel, she really didn't read much of it today.

Snap——.

A tear suddenly fell on the book, then spread across the page and soaked the paper.

Shen Qingning's eyes were slightly red, and she kept her head down. The tears in her eyes made it impossible for her to see the words on the book clearly. Her vision was extremely blurred, but she whispered:

“It’s really well written.”

(ps: Asking for monthly tickets at the end of the month!

Tomorrow we have to go to the airport two hours early, then take a 6-hour flight back to China, and then drive four hours from Shanghai back to Yiwu. The economy class is really cramped. I'll see if I can type a few words on the plane. Alas.)
