"Your scent knocks on the door that is closed to me" - Pheromones
——
After three hours of divorce negotiations, both parties left the private box of the five-star hotel first, with He Chuyue and assistant lawyer He Wen lagging behind.
"This won't work, that won't work. Her husband has already agreed to leave the house with nothing, but that won't work. What do we have to do?" He Wen complained, but she suppressed the last sentence, "Celebrities are amazing!"
He Chuyue glanced at him and said, "You know walls have ears? From your aura, I thought you were going to chase after them and whisper in their ears."
Maybe because the confrontation had just ended, the woman's aura was still there. She crossed her legs and stared at her mobile phone. Although her fair face showed a little fatigue, the capable and dashing sense of distance that reached her line of sight still made He Wen immediately timid.
He Chuyue reminded, "Trouble comes from the mouth, especially in our line of work, don't talk about your client."
"I understand, Lawyer He."
Three quarters of the day had passed, and the two had been so busy that they hadn't eaten a single bite. He Chuyue wasn't going to ask anyone to work overtime, so she just handed him the things he needed and said, "Go eat something, and summarize it for me tomorrow."
He Wen knew He Chuyue's personality and she didn't like people who were indecisive. So the smartest thing for him to do at this time was to do as he was told.
After he left, He Chuyue reviewed the documents one last time and took a deep breath.
As soon as she graduated from graduate school, she joined HC, the most prestigious law firm in the northern city's legal community. Because of her outstanding professional skills and high emotional intelligence, she became the fastest promoted lawyer. She was appreciated by Tang Huimin and was promoted all the way, allowing her to secure the position of senior lawyer.
It was originally thought that He Chuyue would be the partner of the law firm this time, but an accident happened two weeks ago. She rejected the client with connections that Mr. Tang had sent her, and offended the leader who had a veto power. She also encountered a highly-watched celebrity divorce case, which made the situation worse.
If she can handle the case beautifully, it will undoubtedly be a comeback. If she fails, not to mention competing for the partner position, even the violence of public opinion can crush her.
Time was running out, He Chuyue quickly pushed open the door, but before she took two steps, she felt a familiar feeling in her stomach. She covered her lips, quickly found the sign in her memory, and rushed in.
Heart-wrenching vomiting sounds rang out in the empty environment, until He Chuyue no longer had the strength to hold on to the wall, her stomach finally began to calm down.
She covered her mouth and slowly squatted down, and the door beside her opened.
"Excuse me, sister, are you having morning sickness? I have B6 here, do you need it?"
He Chuyue rarely smiled when she saw someone, but instead looked horrified, "What did you say?"
As if frightened by her expression, the girl was stunned for a moment, "Ah, I thought you were pregnant, my sister had pregnancy reactions like this, I still have her medicine here... So it's not you, sorry."
After making sure that He Chuyue didn't need help, the girl left. He Chuyue squatted there, listening to the footsteps gradually fading away. It took her a long time to find her breath, and she frantically flipped through her phone.
According to the menstrual software, her period has been delayed for a full ten days!
Calculating the time, it’s just over a month…
I don’t know how I walked out of the bathroom, He Chuyue’s mind was filled with memories of that night.
The room with slightly open curtains, the torn clothes, the shaking crystal chandelier, and the faint, comfortable fragrance...
He Chuyue couldn't describe what the smell was. She had never smelled it in any perfume, and she would never ask the hotel front desk, "What kind of incense do you use in your room", unless she was kicked in the head by a donkey.
Leaning against the door frame, assuming and overthrowing the assumptions again and again.
Definitely not.
They took measures.
In the brightly lit hotel corridor, guests passed by from time to time. He Chuyue stood there abruptly, and with her outstanding temperament, it was inevitable that people would take a few more glances.
She held her forehead with her hand, burning herself in the memories as she walked.
"Why aren't you well yet?"
In the darkness, a soft voice urged.
The numbness that had already reached the peak continued to tug at her nerves, but there was still no one answering her ears.
Just when she asked for the second time, she finally heard the clear sound from her legs.
“Not appropriate.”
Unlike the beginning, this time it was low and hoarse, like the tiny grains of sand under the clear spring water, tickling the soles of her feet and fanning the burning evil fire.
What's inappropriate?
He Chuyue forced herself to sit up, and when they met each other's eyes, she was so shocked by the size difference that her eyebrows twitched several times.
How can this fit? ?
He quickly regained his senses in the chaos and pointed to the bag that fell beside the leg of the table.
"I have..." Avoiding his gaze, she was at a disadvantage in a confrontation for the first time. She raised her tongue with a tingling scalp, "How about trying it?"
“……….”
In her memory, the man's big hands were like a brand imprisoned on her waist. He Chuyue was tortured to the point of losing her mind, and his uncontrollable reactions and sounds made her scalp tingle. She had never been so out of control of herself before. She didn't even know if it was the heat or what. She felt that both she and he were hot, burning each other constantly.
After that ridiculous incident, the sheets beneath her were wrinkled and sticky. He Chuyue wanted to change her position but fell into the man's arms because of trembling. That was the first time that night that she saw Xiao Zhiyan's face so clearly.
Cold and distant.
Even when he was holding her, he still had no expression.
...She is the only one immersed in this relationship? ?
Failure, such a failure!
He Chuyue didn't want to do it anymore and struggled to stand up, but the person behind her pulled her back before her, changed position, leaned over, and continued.
On the third day after the incident, He Chuyue was still rubbing her aching waist, feeling a lingering fear. She couldn't understand why someone had the same expression whether he was wearing clothes or not?
Too many thoughts were intertwined, so she bit her fingernails, which she had wanted to bite for a long time, and came to a conclusion.
Almost three times in total, and I definitely wore it every time.
She frowned and muttered to herself.
"Since you're wearing it, there will definitely be no fish that can escape the net, so I'm not necessarily... I must have been under a lot of pressure recently, so I postponed it, so don't panic-"
"Hello ma'am? How can I help you?"
The woman in the hotel uniform smiled in a standard way. When she saw the face of He Chuyue's men, she briefly showed a surprised expression, then quickly returned to normal and smiled, "Do you need help?"
"No thanks." He took two steps forward and then stepped back. "Excuse me, is there a pharmacy nearby?"
He Chuyue, who had already bought the things and was looking for the bathroom, turned the corner and saw her destination. Before she could walk over quickly, the figure that flashed by in her peripheral vision was imprinted in her mind and could not be erased.
She was pinned to the spot.
Ranpo's heartbeat and breathing reminded her who that was.
She subconsciously wanted to leave, but living in the huge North City, she saw the man who had been hiding for a month. Curiosity got the better of her, and she wanted to go back to see if it was him.
She practiced it herself, and by the time she realized it, she had already done it.
Slowly step back and slowly move your gaze, as if everything is focused into slow motion. It was not until He Chuyue looked at the open door of the banquet hall not far away and the tall and handsome man in the crowd that her blood froze.
The information she found on Baidu that night instantly emerged in her mind.
Xiao Zhiyan.
He received his Ph.D. in Biochemistry and Science from the University of Michigan, USA. Due to the high value of the papers he published, he was invited many times by domestic double-first-class universities. He is currently working in the top biochemistry laboratory and associate professor of the School of Biochemistry at his alma mater, Peking University.
Family background, education, resume, all of them are amazingly good looking, but the least noteworthy thing about Professor Xiao is his divine face.
It was so intuitive that I didn't even have the courage to look him in the eye.
He Chuyue felt that she had really made progress. Not only did they look at each other, but they also slept together.
Try harder and hit the target with one shot...
Focusing her eyes, she saw the face clearly, just as cold as she remembered.
Not knowing what the people around him said, his expression relaxed and he nodded politely, but the sense of alienation froze He Chuyue through the crowd.
The same feeling he gave her in college——
A beautiful humanoid who can only read.
So how did she get along with that person... He Chuyue was so angry at herself that she was bleeding from all seven orifices. She didn't want to think about it anymore, but her eyes still drifted over it inadvertently.
He was still wearing the same suit as when they first met, but she quickly noticed the difference.
This time, there were silver threads hidden in the suit, which stimulated He Chuyue's eyes with the slight movements of its owner and the light, as if the silver threads had become spirits that could hook her ankles from thousands of miles away and make her stop.
The next second, Xiao Zhiyan listened carefully to what the person next to him said. When he looked over, there was no sign that anyone had stayed at the door.
Ten minutes later.
In the eerily quiet bathroom, He Chuyue looked at the second red line appearing on the white stripe. She forgot to retract her force with her fingertips, and blood oozed from the right side of her thumb.
