Chapter 54: Exchanging feelings with someone you like...

Cheng Hexi landed in Beijing during the hottest part of the day.

She told You Yue a few days ago that she would return to Beijing in the evening, but due to business, she changed her itinerary at the last minute. In addition, the weather conditions were good, and the private plane landed just after four o'clock.

During the flight, she calculated the time difference and messaged You Yue to say she would be back two hours earlier that day. Remembering the misunderstanding from last time, she proactively explained the reason this time.

One investor stayed in Beijing for half a day and then flew back to Singapore that evening to meet with someone.

When he saw the message, You Yue had just entered the forum venue and taken his seat.

As a result, Cheng Hexi landed at the airport before he had finished his own business and didn't have time to pick her up.

You Yue felt a genuine sense of regret.

After falling in love, Cheng Hexi became much more perceptive of his emotions than before.

She then added, "The dinner will probably end around eight o'clock. If Mr. You has time, I'll wait for you to pick me up."

The location was the same club as last time.

That was practically a way of coaxing him.

You Yue smiled.

Both of them knew that their usual long-haul flights were on private jets, with smooth takeoffs and no need to wait for luggage or transportation after landing, which was already very convenient. But he said he wanted to pick her up because he wanted to see her as soon as possible and hold her in his arms.

After all, they're in a relationship.

You Yue knew that Cheng Hexi understood what he meant, which is why she took the initiative to say that.

He was uncontrollably pleased and casually typed a reply:

Okay, honey.

-

This forum is a major event within the industry, attended by business leaders, numerous media outlets, and political figures.

Cheng Hexi isn't very knowledgeable about the internet, but she still pays attention to it to some extent. Now, because of You Yue, she pays much more attention to it than usual.

She took a nap on the plane back home. When she woke up, she picked up her phone and saw a photo that had first been leaked by a media outlet in the business section.

You Yue wore a well-tailored haute couture suit and the burgundy tie she had given him initially. He was extremely understated, with his wedding ring and tie clip being the most eye-catching accessories.

Even so, it could not conceal his noble air.

The man's eyes didn't show much emotion, but he did look at the camera, which was unusual for him.

Their relationship went from strangers to close friends, and then to lovers. It took a long time to adjust to each other, but You Yue's appearance always perfectly matched her aesthetic.

He always seemed to have the ability to be spotted in a crowd at a glance.

Less than three days after they parted, Cheng Hexi felt an indescribable longing for him.

This emotion was somewhat unfamiliar to her.

Ever since the custom-made suit arrived, she would occasionally help You Yue put together an outfit, and she remembered that she had straightened his tie clips many times.

This time she wasn't there, and his tie clip was neatly trimmed, not crooked at all.

Looking back now, I think that man might have done it on purpose.

You Yue, who doesn't care about his reputation and doesn't even bother to smile at the media, would use such underhanded tactics on her.

Cheng Hexi chuckled softly, saved all the photos, put down her phone, and got out of bed to get some water.

After finishing a glass of water, she looked out the porthole.

The flight from Las Vegas back to Beijing involves a sixteen-hour time difference, with the plane constantly trying to keep up with daytime.

It was sunset at that time.

High in the sky, the setting sun shone like flowing gold.

She took out her phone and snapped a picture of the stunning terminator. Then, after a brief pause, she opened Youyue's chat window and sent the photo.

They replied very quickly.

First, he complimented her on the beautiful photos, then asked with concern: "Did you get some sleep?"

I fell asleep, and just woke up to see the sunset.

[And you? Has the afternoon session started yet?]

You Yue also sent over a photo from the scene: [Just entering the venue.]

Cheng Hexi joked: "Then be careful someone sees you slacking off."

He was dressed in a suit and sat properly at his seat, holding his phone as if he were working, but he was actually chatting with her about random things.

When Cheng Hexi wasn't familiar with You Yue, she would never have imagined that he would do something so childish.

[It has already been seen.]

Mr. He from Rongda was sitting next to me. Seeing that I was constantly sending messages, he assumed I was working overtime.

Cheng Hexi: [Actually, we were just chatting.]

You Yue: [Actually, I'm exchanging feelings with someone I like.]

When Cheng Hexi saw this, she couldn't help but laugh.

She sent a photo she had just saved: "I saw the pictures from the event; Mr. You looks very handsome today."

You Yue felt that it was worth it to let the media's flashing lights shine on him after receiving this praise.

【Thank you for the compliment. 】

Wear this to pick you up.

They didn't know where they had so much to say, and after a while, they finally ended their conversation.

Cheng Hexi walked to the table, turned on her laptop, and began to coordinate the work she had missed over the past few days with Tang Ying.

As I checked my emails, the view outside the porthole gradually changed from sunset to night.

Soon, the plane will land at Beijing Airport.

Previously, this city was just a coordinate on a map in the Eastern Time Zone (UTC+8), the place where she worked and lived for over a decade. Now, it's her home.

Human emotions imbue still life objects with meaning.

Looking back on the past few days, she received many flowers and felt a lot of love in New York and Las Vegas.

She still remembered what Yu Yue said when he confessed his feelings.

He said he loved her and wanted her 100%.

They grew up in this kind of circle, exposed to far too much debauchery and ingratiating behavior. You Yue's ability to remain true to himself is a testament to his excellent upbringing and his clear understanding of what he wants.

Indeed, only 100% love is worthy of him.

Cheng Hexi couldn't be sure if her feelings were 100% genuine, but she knew herself very well and was aware of her own personality.

She is someone who rarely becomes infatuated with anything, so once she falls in love, she is devoted to it wholeheartedly, even unto death.

-

It was not yet eight o'clock when Cheng Hexi saw the investor off to his driver's car at the entrance of the club.

Because it was a private dinner, she didn't bring an assistant or have her driver wait for her. She just waited for You Yue's car to arrive at the entrance of the club.

He had previously sent a message saying he was already waiting in the parking space.

Inside the opulent courtyard of the clubhouse, one of the lights was broken.

Business people generally avoid this, and are currently working on repairs.

She was closest to the dim light, and thus stood in the shadows.

Not far away, the Cullinan slowly drove up, its low beams gently sweeping over her, bathing her in light.

The car door lock clicked open, and Cheng Hexi turned around, opened the car door, and got in.

The luxury van had a spacious back seat, and You Yue's laptop was already neatly stored away. He had just unbuckled his seatbelt and was about to get out to open the car door for Cheng Hexi.

Unexpectedly, she sat down on it herself.

You Yue has always valued privacy, and at this moment the partition was raised, separating the driver's cab from the back seat.

He met Cheng Hexi's gaze, smiled slightly, and turned to the side, opening his arms towards her.

He was indeed still wearing the same suit he wore to the forum, looking refined and elegant. He wore a wedding ring and a watch on his left hand, and his forearm, which she admired most, was hidden under the fabric of the suit.

Cheng Hexi's gaze swept over You Yue, prompting him to reach out and lean forward to wrap his arms around his neck, almost burying his entire body in his embrace.

Even though he knew that Cheng Hexi had already been officially promoted, You Yue was still surprised for a moment by Cheng Hexi's initiative.

When he reached out, he thought Cheng Hexi might give him a reserved hug, but he never expected to receive such a warm embrace.

My empty arms were suddenly filled.

You Yue smelled the familiar citrus and woody scent, and his heart overflowed with emotion; he had never felt so content.

In a moment, he took the initiative, pulling her into his arms and then kissing her passionately around the waist.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and having just confirmed her feelings, You Yue kissed her passionately.

Cheng Hexi initially responded to him earnestly, but later she couldn't handle it anymore and felt like she was about to be devoured by the man.

Only when her oxygen was completely depleted did the hands grip her waist loosen.

He wore a black three-piece suit to an important occasion today, and remained impeccably dressed until evening, looking both neat and dignified yet exuding a restrained and sexy charm. However, his tie had been messed up again during their kiss.

Cheng Hexi was still slightly out of breath. She ran her hand over the man's eyebrows and the faint scar on his forehead, then lowered her eyes to straighten his tie.

You Yue let her do as she pleased, his gaze quietly fixed on her.

His kiss had been rather fierce, but his gaze was gentle, and when Cheng Hexi wasn't looking, there was an almost infatuated look in his eyes.

He noticed that her pearl earrings had different designs on each side, and that she wore the diamond necklace he had given her. Even a simple white shirt looked stunning on her.

Once the tie was neatly put back on, You Yue took advantage of the position to bury his head in the crook of her neck.

This is a gesture that is almost like showing weakness.

Cheng Hexi paused, then asked softly, "Are you very tired?"

You Yue hugged her again: "I'm not tired, but you, are you going to have trouble sleeping again tonight?"

Cheng Hexi thought about it seriously: "Not necessarily."

"I've been lying next to you for a long time now, and I haven't had insomnia."

Upon hearing this, he tilted his head slightly and tenderly kissed the tip of her nose.

Then, the kiss gradually moved downwards, and the two kissed again, as if they could never get enough of each other.

The back seat was spacious and comfortable, and I was already panting for breath after just a short while.

After their lips parted, You Yue helped straighten her disheveled shirt and lifted her off his lap.

Cheng Hexi realized something, feeling that he wasn't tired enough, smiled, didn't say much, but her gaze was unusually unfocused.

Her eyes darted around and she noticed a delicate booklet placed under the laptop on her seat.

You Yue noticed her gaze and pulled out the booklet.

It's a catalog from the Hong Kong Autumn Auction.

Cheng Hexi took the document and opened it. You Yue put his arm around her and read it with her.

The first few pages feature precious and dazzling high-quality colored gemstones and jade.

Cheng Hexi likes diamonds and pearls, and although the ones in the picture are very beautiful, she is not very interested in them.

While casually flipping through the catalog, my gaze suddenly lingered on a pair of beautiful Paraiba diamond earrings.

Realizing that You Yue was getting closer, she turned her head and saw that his gaze had also fallen on the picture book.

Then, their eyes met.

Cheng Hexi understood his meaning almost instantly and quickly said, "I don't want it."

You Yue raised his eyebrows and smiled leisurely.

He ran his long, slender fingers through the hair beside the person next to him, and smiled, "Helping me save money, honey?"

You Yue initially wanted to film it, but just now he could tell from Cheng Hexi's eyes that she wasn't interested.

But for some reason, her gaze suddenly lingered on those earrings.

“Mr. You has a large and wealthy family, why would he need me to save money?” Cheng Hexi smiled and said, “I only took a few more glances because I remembered that my mother also had a pair of earrings like these. Those earrings were given to her by my maternal grandmother, who once said that she would personally put them on me on the day I wore my wedding dress.”

You Yue tightened his grip on her arm.

Cheng Hexi wasn't actually sad.

She tilted her head and asked, "Could Grandma help me put it on then?"

You Yue held her hand and agreed on behalf of the old lady: "Okay."

"I'd like to change the wedding bouquet to orchids."

Although he was a little confused, he still hummed in agreement: "I'll do whatever you say."

Cheng Hexi couldn't remember the last time she had been this childish.

It was as if she had suddenly given birth to new flesh and blood, and the old scars had long since healed and disappeared.

The clubhouse wasn't far from their homes.

As the car entered the villa's courtyard, Cheng Hexi tilted her head and kissed You Yue, asking, "When do you have time?"

She chuckled softly, "I want to try on wedding dresses."
