Chapter 16 Do you have a goodnight kiss today?
02
When Pan Zheng came out of the kitchen with noodles, he saw Di Ling sitting at the dining table, texting and laughing.
He was stunned for a moment, thinking that it seemed like he hadn't seen her laugh so sincerely in a long time.
This woman usually laughs in a sarcastic way or just pretending to be funny. She is also a very smart person who can use publicity and brightness to cover up her true feelings, so that no one can guess whether every word she says is from the heart.
But perhaps because they were really close, he could clearly feel the truth and falsehood in all her actions.
Close.
Pan Zheng was stunned. He never thought that one day he would be able to use the word "close" to describe the relationship between him and a woman.
"Hey," his mind was already full of thoughts. He brought the noodles to the table and placed the bowl in front of her. "The wrinkles on your face when you smile are so big that they could kill a fly."
Di Ling continued sending WeChat messages without even looking up, raised a finger and said to him, "You are such a little bitch."
Pan Zheng rolled his eyes, sat down across from her again, and said slowly, "I'll tell you again, don't get too emotional."
She sent a few more messages before putting down her phone. Then she picked up her chopsticks and looked at him very seriously, "Pan Zheng."
"?"
"I think I need to talk to Brother Xiao Yi today."
"……do what?"
"I have to apologize to him sincerely," she said with a rather sad expression, "because his lover, you, seems to have fallen in love with me."
Pan Zheng: …………………………
"I know I'm a woman everyone loves. Anyone who meets me is basically fascinated by me, let alone someone like you who lives under the same roof with me every day... Honestly, if you were a woman, I might really accept you. But, sorry, we're not meant to be in this life." She picked up a tube of noodles and nodded at him, "Let's see if we have another chance in the next life."
The veins on his forehead were throbbing. "Eat your noodles, or I'll make you into noodles."
"Well, if you keep warning and threatening me like this, I'm really going to think you're jealous," she said, slurping her noodles. "When have I ever made a stupid mistake that made you distrust me so much, huh?"
"You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want," Pan Zheng looked at her meaningfully. "After all, no one knows how wonderful the sparks can be between men and women. The only reason you didn't make mistakes before might be because you haven't met that person yet."
"How about I let you write my column? A famous emotional chicken soup master? With your writing skills, your sales will exceed a million tomorrow!"
…
Pan Zheng was so angry at this woman who never said a word seriously that he felt dizzy early in the morning. He had to eat two fried eggs to calm the raging anger in his heart. Finally, he decided not to say a word during the whole breakfast. After eating, he got dressed and prepared to slam the door and leave.
"Hey," Di Ling suddenly called out to him when he reached the entrance, "Do you have any plans tonight? Are you going to see Xiao Yi?"
"No," he said unhappily. "I have a party to go to."
"What cocktail party? Don't you try not to attend such events if you can?"
"I can't escape the annual charity reception. Pan is the representative of T City, so I have to go and receive the award."
Di Ling rolled her eyes, stood up from the dining table and walked over to him, "Take me there?"
Pan Zheng put on his shoes and looked at her expressionlessly. "Didn't you say you'd rather parade naked than socialize?"
"Well, my little wolfdog stood me up tonight," she said with a playful smile. "I'm going to join in the fun. Maybe I can find my next target there."
He sneered, "If you dare to get horny in public I'll drown you in the pool myself."
"It's settled then. I'll wait for you downstairs of your company at five o'clock," she winked at him.
...
Although Pan Zheng said he disliked her to the core, he was ultimately forced to take her to the charity reception due to her shamelessness.
The venue for the cocktail party was set in a top-notch hotel on the riverside of City T. The exterior of the hotel is a Western-style building, but once you go inside, you will feel the antique Chinese charm, which is grand and elegant. Charity cocktail parties in previous years are usually held here.
After the driver dropped them off at the door, Di Ling took Pan Zheng's arm and walked into the hotel lobby. She gently lifted the hem of her evening gown with one hand, her posture charming and seductive. From the door on, both the waiters and guests were vying to look at them. She smiled and said to Pan Zheng in a low voice, "Look, you brought me here and you can enjoy this feeling of being the center of attention. I, your wife, make this entire hotel shine."
Pan Zheng maintained a good expression on his face, and he opened his thin lips and said two words, "Wake up."
After the two entered the auditorium, a group of people naturally surrounded Pan Zheng, trying to curry favor with him. Di Ling patiently chatted with them for a while, but then she couldn't stand it anymore and whispered in Pan Zheng's ear, "I'm about to throw up. I'm going to sneak away for a while and come back after the show starts."
Pan Zheng glanced at her and said, "Pay attention to the time. I heard that a big shot will be giving an opening speech soon."
Di Ling thought that what he really wanted to say was that she should be careful not to always think with her lower body. She smiled at him and the guests, and left leisurely with her wine glass.
There was a terrace outside the auditorium. There was no one around at the moment, so she swiftly opened the door and walked in. Facing the cool evening breeze, she let out a long sigh and cursed softly.
Next time, even if she is bored at home, she will never come to such an occasion again. It is really killing her.
Who knew that as soon as she finished saying that curse word, she heard a low laugh behind her ear.
The voice was sexy and hoarse, and carried a strange sense of familiarity. She was afraid that it was someone who knew her, so she quickly straightened her back and pretended to be a pure young girl, then turned around.
The next second, she was almost petrified on the spot.
Jiang Xingran, who had announced this morning that he had something to do in the evening and would leave her for a night of passion, was holding two wine glasses in his hands, wearing a neat black suit, and looking at her with a slight smile from behind.
Every time she saw him before, he was mostly naked. This was the first time she saw him dressed like this... Not only that, she found that his entire outfit looked very expensive.
This outfit made him look even more handsome, and there was something indescribable about him.
...Like, an innate temperament?
While she was still in a daze, he had already walked closer to her and gently clinked his wine glass with hers, "Tonight."
Di Ling was finally brought back to her senses by the whisper. She figured that since he hadn't asked about her and Pan Zheng, he probably hadn't seen them. She then sized him up for a moment with sharp eyes. "Why are you here?"
"The sommelier in charge of the wine reception is my friend, and he asked me to come along and help," he told her calmly, "We're both important people, and the wine is very important, so we can't neglect it."
She thought about it and felt it made sense, "That suit you're wearing looks pretty expensive, bro?"
"I borrowed it," Jiang Xingran said with an even more innocent smile, "I can't afford it."
"Very handsome,"
She walked around him with her wine glass in hand, admiring him. He had a truly fantastic figure, well-proportioned, with a pair of long legs. Even without his clothes, he still had eight-pack abs… Seeing that there was no one around, Di Ling couldn’t help but feel tempted again. She leaned close to his ear and whispered, “You’re so handsome, I want you to take my clothes off right here and there.”
Jiang Xingran's eyes flickered with light, and he nodded slightly, "It's not impossible."
The blood in her body was ignited by his words, "Let's go?"
"If you can find me a vacant spot in this place with people all around for ten miles, I'll leave," he raised his chin towards the auditorium.
"The restrooms outside the auditorium are the kind with separate rooms," she winked at him. "I'll find one and go in first, and you can come in later."
**
The dinner was about to start in less than half an hour, and Di Ling felt that it was more than enough for a shot.
However, her thoughts were always beautiful and simple. When she really got entangled with Jiang Xingran, she completely forgot about Pan Zheng's warning and the issue of time.
The two locked the door and made love in the private bathroom.
…
After finishing, he tidied himself, tied his trousers again, then took out his cell phone and sent a few messages.
Di Ling adjusted her appearance and skirt in front of the mirror and asked him casually, "The dinner party should have started already. Is it a big deal if you disappear for a while?"
A subtle hint flashed across Jiang Xingran's eyes that she hadn't noticed, but it was quickly covered up. "No big deal."
She nodded, turned around and kissed him on the lips. "I thought I was going to wither today, but I didn't expect it to be so easy."
He looked at her with a smile and asked casually, "Speaking of which, why did you come here today?"
Di Ling lied without blinking, "A relative of mine is a member of a charity association, and I asked her to take me here to see the world."
"Oh," he nodded thoughtfully, "I see."
"I'm leaving first." She checked the time and felt that if she didn't go back, Pan Zheng might strangle her to death. "Will you still be here later?"
"No," he shook his head. "My business ends when the dinner begins."
She felt relieved and said, "Okay, see you tomorrow."
Jiang Xingran watched her walk out gracefully. After a while, he touched his chin and said to himself, "The best drama this year isn't even half as good as this."
