Ni Yue, a small-town student, hits rock bottom in life and moves to Shanghai to live with her cousin, Zhang Chenling. Unexpectedly, the former female CEO is also facing a crisis: her "Kindness ...
33 After dinner, I will accompany you to catch the adulterer
"Don't talk nonsense here. Xu Zhiqian and I are colleagues. My cousin clearly distinguishes between work and private life. She wouldn't engage in an office romance!"
Ni Yue muttered softly.
Wu Xia disagreed and muttered, "Don't you believe what we're doing?"
Ni Yue looked disdainful and said, "Money, money, money, all you think about is money. You love money so much, why haven't you made a lot of money yet?"
"You..." Wu Xia was speechless, her face flushed. "Look at you, you look down on your mother! Fine, I'll go back to my hometown to make money tomorrow, just wait and see!"
"Tsk!" Ni Yue rolled his eyes in disdain. His gaze strayed to the suitcase in the corner. He saw two backpacks, one large and one small, bulging with stuff. Then he realized Wu Xia might not be joking. Surprised, he asked, "Why are you even packing your luggage? Are you really going back home?"
"Of course not. Do you think I'm teasing you?" Wu Xia said helplessly, "Your father called me and Yingzi this morning and asked them to go back. I didn't have time to tell you!"
"Leaving tomorrow?"
"Yes, all the tickets are sold out."
"Can you take the train if you have crutches and can't move around easily?"
"Your father bought the plane tickets for us!"
"Huh? He's quite generous!"
"Heh, your father has hidden a lot of money behind my back. Last month, I found a torn envelope behind that row of medicinal wine jars with two thousand dollars hidden inside. And the month before that, I was cleaning the backyard and found a plastic bag in an old vase with five hundred dollars inside!"
"Huo, he's been hiding his secrets for years, and you've discovered the little money he finally saved!"
Ni Yue swallowed the words that were halfway in her throat. In fact, every time she went back to her hometown, she secretly gave Ni Daming some pocket money.
"By the way, don't underestimate your mother. The store really can't function without me!" Wu Xia began to boast. "Your father can't manage the business at all. Not only can he not understand the accounts, but a lot of goods have gone missing from the store these past few days. That's why he asked me to go back and help. I think the plaster on my foot will take a while to come off, and Yingzi has to do her summer homework. There's no point in wasting time here. Just go back!"
Although Wu Xia and Ni Ying had caused a lot of trouble during their visit, she felt reluctant to let them go when they suddenly said they were leaving, and her heart felt empty.
His attitude softened unconsciously. "Then what time do you fly tomorrow? We don't have any orders tomorrow morning. If there's no conflict, I'll take you there."
"The flight is at ten in the morning."
"That's perfect, I'll go with you tomorrow morning!"
As Ni Yue spoke, he placed his palm on Wu Xia's healthy calf, reluctant to move away.
When a man is about to act, his words are good.
When they were about to say goodbye at the airport, Wu Xia squeezed out two tears. In the past, Ni Yue would have teased her and said that she was shedding crocodile tears, but this time, Ni Yue's eyes also turned red.
"Yue'er, you must take good care of yourself," Wu Xia said while choking up. "Mom and Dad can't help you with anything. You have to rely on yourself when you are out there.
Ni Yue put one arm around her shoulders and held Ni Ying in his other arm. The three of them were rarely united. "Don't worry, I can take care of myself. You guys should be careful on the road. I'll find time to come home and see you when I'm not busy."
Wu Xia was a little excited, her broad nostrils trembling violently. After a while, she calmed down and added, "Yue'er, don't think I'm slow. If there's a suitable opportunity, you should find a regular class!"
The deep mother-daughter love that had not been seen in several years was abruptly ruined by Wu Xia's words.
The tears in his eyes evaporated instantly. Ni Yue sighed and said, "Mom, I'm not young anymore. I can take responsibility for my own life. You really don't need to worry about what's happening in Shanghai. Just take care of yourself!"
"Also," Wu Xia, as usual, didn't know how to read her daughter's expression and only focused on her own thoughts, "I didn't have the nerve to ask you at Da Lingzi's house about that guy you were tangling with on the street last time. What happened between you two? Also, Da Lingzi said you had a breakup in Beijing. Was it with that guy named Zhou?"
"Oh my god!" Ni Yue stamped his feet in anger. "You're already so old, why don't you pay less attention to the shitty things between men and women? Go, go, go home and make money!"
Without giving Wu Xia a chance to ask further questions, he turned around and sent her and Ni Ying into the security entrance.
After returning to the city from the airport, Ni Yue went straight to the OVERDOSE Yakitori restaurant.
Chen Yuang was so happy last night when he learned that her mother was going back to her hometown that he immediately asked her to have lunch with him the next day.
Ever since she ran out of the house late at night a few days ago and kissed him passionately under the street light outside the hospital gate, the two have not seen each other since then.
When they met again under the bright sunshine, their faces turned red at the same time, their eyes avoided, and they didn't dare to look each other in the eye for more than a second.
But after sitting down, Ni Yue's uneasiness quickly disappeared and her attention shifted to another thing.
"Hey, what are you looking at?"
Chen Yuang noticed that the woman in front of him kept peeking out of the window and muttering to herself as if she was chanting scriptures. He was a little confused and waved his hand in front of her.
At least he managed to bring her soul back. He bent his index finger and gently scratched the slightly hunched nose. "You're not paying attention when you're eating with me, looking around?"
He scolded, but there was no trace of blame in his tone, it was more like he was acting coquettishly.
Ni Yue realized that he had just lost his composure, so he obediently shifted his attention to the person in front of him and looked at him carefully.
Chen Yuang wore a light blue floral shirt today, paired with black-framed glasses, which made his skin look extremely white, and his thin lips were pink with a hint of red - a typical young handsome man.
Unconsciously recalling the kiss that night, she became shy again, lowered her head, picked up a string of lanterns, and silently brought it to her lips.
Chen Yuang didn't intend to give up. His gaze fell on her eyebrows. "You've only been sitting down for a few minutes, and you've already looked out the window five, six, seven, or eight times. More than you've looked at me. Who is that outside the window?"
Seeing his coquettish look, Ni Yue chuckled and said frankly: "I was watching the quiet noises across the street."
Chen Yuang was annoyed, "I knew you were looking at that b king!"
"Yes, I just wanted to see if he was flirting with any of the female customers."
"Oh, are you going to follow him all day long from now on?" His tone became increasingly jealous.
"Since we're here, what's wrong with taking a look?"
Ni Yue felt a little unhappy, as if he had committed some mistake and was being criticized.
I simply stopped explaining and focused on eating the roasted bird.
Seeing that she remained silent, Chen Yuang realized that he had overreacted and immediately forced a smile. "By the way, how is Miss Running Ball? I didn't have the chance to ask you too many details last time."
Last time? Ni Yue's ears warmed. Last time, the two of them were busy kissing, so of course they had no time to discuss the details.
She coughed lightly and said, "Sister Paoqiu isn't doing well. Oh no, how should I put it? As an ALS patient, her physical condition certainly can't be described as good. Her limbs are paralyzed, and she can only type with an eye tracker... But her mental state is very good. She's positive, optimistic, and open-minded. This is a good thing, although it also seems a bit tragic to me."
"Oh," Chen Yuang nodded, "I can sense that she's been struggling to update lately. Maybe she's even having trouble updating every other day."
"Yes, you reminded me. Last time I went to her house, I talked to her for a long time. I guess she was exhausted. Next time, I can't talk too much and delay her rest and writing."
As Ni Yue spoke, his eyes unconsciously glanced out the window again.
Across the street, I saw a familiar face suddenly flash in the window of the whispering woman - an attractive butt wrapped in a tight black dress.
Her brows tightened, and she couldn't help but stretch her neck forward, wishing she could fly out of the window immediately to stop them.
Seeing that she treated him as nothing again, Chen Yuang almost lost his mind. He wiped his hands with alcohol gel, then leaned forward, grabbed her arms, and slowly pulled her towards him across the palm-sized table.
"Can you eat seriously? I mean watch me eat?"
"Huh?" Ni Yue was stunned for a second before realizing that he was firmly clamped.
Chen Yuang is about 1.8 meters tall, and when he sits on the chair he is more than half a head taller than Ni Gao.
Her whole body was enveloped by his dominating masculine aura, and her arms were burned by two hands like branding irons. She was completely unable to resist and her body went limp.
Their eyes met, and a hint of tenderness flashed in those sparkling eyes, but the tone was a little overbearing, "Be good, you accompany me to have a good meal, and after dinner I will accompany you to catch the adulterer!"
The atmosphere was too ambiguous, and Ni Yue immediately threw the urban dating anti-addiction guide behind his mind and couldn't help but imagine a forced love plot.
The man in front of her only needed to lean over slightly to press his lips against hers. She was both expectant and shy, her eyes moving around, and her voice was so low that only the two of them could hear clearly: "I don't want to catch someone cheating!"
Seeing her shy face, which looked like a ripe peach, Chen Yuang really had the urge to kiss her.
Just like that night, kiss the mouth first, then the eyes.
But out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that a waiter he was familiar with was staring at them not far away. He had to suppress his inner desire, tilted his head slightly, and pecked her lightly on the tip of her lips.
Then release your hand.
This light kiss was far from what Ni Yue expected. She sat back straight and brushed the hair on her forehead to hide her disappointment.
Chen Yuang blushed as he continued the previous topic: "If you don't want to catch them cheating, then stop staring at them. Honestly, if King B really wants to find a woman behind Sister Paoqiu's back, you, an outsider, won't be able to see it!"
"That being said," Ni Yue curled her lips, "I don't want to use moral kidnapping, but I think he has an obligation to remain loyal to Sister Paoqiu."
"Duty? Loyalty?" He grabbed these two words and laughed, "You still dare to say you're not being morally blackmailed?"
Ni Yue rolled his eyes. "Don't you think a man should remain faithful to his partner, especially a sick partner?"
"Oh, that's a very profound question," Chen Yuang pursed his lips. He knew it was a handicap question, but it was also a life-or-death question, but he didn't want to say anything against his will. "It involves many theories of anthropology and sociology. I'm afraid we couldn't come to a conclusion even if we talked all day and all night. But I can tell you my opinion first, so don't rush to hit me."
Ni Yue raised his eyebrows, "You say!"
"I think the moral requirement of loyalty can only be used to restrain oneself, not others."
Sure enough, this guy's opinions were always inconsistent with his own, and Ni Yue couldn't help but puff up his cheeks.
"This is based on rational analysis," Chen Yuang added quickly after seeing her expression change. "Of course, emotionally, I don't want to see King B doing something else outside and make Sister Paoqiu sad."
"Oh..." Ni Yue hummed, reluctantly accepting his decision to take sides.
"Let's have a good meal first, and then discuss the topic of fidelity between men and women, okay?"
Chen Yuang diligently picked up a skewer of grilled chicken legs and handed it to Ni Yue, but found that her eyes were looking at the table at a 45-degree angle.
To be precise, he was looking at his phone on the table.
The phone was in complete silent mode, but the screen kept flashing. Someone was calling. The profile picture was a woman with big breasts and a fat butt posing coquettishly, exactly the same as the one lying in front of King B's window.
She has a fashionable name——
"Isabella?"
