Chapter 30 Chapter 30 Another Potential Rival
This sound seemed to use almost all of Zhou Jing's upbringing to suppress his anger. His calm and peaceful features still showed gentleness, but his slender fingers were gripping the door handle, and his knuckles were white.
He is a gentleman, and a gentleman of the upper class. His energy and time are precious, and he will not waste his energy and time arguing with ignorant people.
What pink.
How can you talk about things without any basis?
Zhou Jing walked out of the room and, unhurriedly, grabbed Zhou Li's rose-red fur coat with one hand, seizing it like an eagle seizing a chick. He made Zhou Li unable to resist. He nodded to Xing Kui in apology, "I'll take her away right now."
"What are you doing?" Zhou Li frantically waved her hands and thrashed about, her eyes wide open as if they were bells. Even with all her might, she couldn't break free. She shrilled, "I'm talking to my best friend."
Zhou Jing: "There's no best friend of yours here, only your brother."
Zhou Li: "There's no brother here, only my best friend!"
Xing Kui was still in shock from what she had just heard. She turned a deaf ear to the quarrel between the siblings, buried her head, and her cheeks were like peach blossoms blooming on the branches in March.
"What are you talking about?" Li Chengchuan walked in at the door, holding a rental contract in his hand.
Zhou Jing wants to answer.
Zhou Li also wants to answer.
Xing Kui, unable to think straight, blurted out first: "We're talking about pink."
Ahhhh no, what was she talking about! Xing Kui woke up, her ears reddened, and she wanted to dig a hole right there, turn into a carrot, and dive in.
Her lowered, flickering gaze fell on Li Chengchuan's black leather shoes, and moved uncontrollably up along the legs of his black suit pants, wandering across his pair of superb long legs, then stopped, unable to look any further.
"Do you like pink?" The long legs were getting closer and closer, and that part was getting closer and closer. Li Chengchuan's low, rather harsh voice was also getting closer and closer to her, revealing a hint of confusion.
I don’t know. She hasn’t seen anyone’s work, so it’s hard to say.
"Don't you like yellow?"
"Ah? Yes, yes, I do like yellow." Xing Kui quickly agreed, realizing that Li Chengchuan had misunderstood her and was referring to the color of the furniture she wanted to buy. Yes, of all the colors in the world, she liked the color of sunflowers the most. "Huh? How did you know?"
Li Chengchuan avoided her gaze. All new employees had to fill out information, including personal preferences, etc., to facilitate the HR department to purchase prizes in a targeted manner. He knew the form that Xing Kui had filled out by heart.
Besides, if you observe carefully, it is obvious what color Xing Kui likes: "I see that you usually wear yellow elements, and your phone case is a sunflower. The other day I was at your house and saw a sunflower sticker on the back of your laptop."
Xing Kui glanced at her cream-colored pajamas, raised her head and smiled: "Yes, yes, yellow is bright and makes people happy just looking at it!"
Li Chengchuan looked at her, his thin lips pressed into a line, paused for a moment, and then opened his lips: "Well, it makes me happy to see it."
"Since you two are so happy, you two should be together!" Zhou Li shouted excitedly, twisting her body to escape from Zhou Jing's grasp while leaning towards Xing Kui, "My dear girlfriend, I support you cheating. I'll protect you from Zhou Jing!"
"Sorry." Zhou Jing pulled Zhou Li aside, his eyes meeting Xing Kui's, his composure as deep as the ocean. "I'll go take care of it and come back later."
Xing Kui nodded twice quickly and gave a look of gratitude. If Zhou Li stayed here and made dangerous remarks, her head would explode.
Zhou Jing took Zhou Li away, so only Xing Kui and Li Chengchuan were left in the room. They looked at each other and coughed.
"Don't..." Li Chengchuan wanted to tell her not to take it to heart, but it would be fine if Xing Kui could remember it, so he paused after saying two words.
"Don't take it personally!" Xing Kui said very quickly, raised her palm and fanned her face a few times, exhaling, "You've known Zhou Li for many years, you should know that she is just like that, crazy, and speaks recklessly. I didn't mean that."
So how can you have that kind of meaning?
I don't mind if you mean that...
How could you not have that intention...
Li Chengchuan unconsciously clenched the contract in his hand and pursed his lips. He was a more traditional person and not good at expressing his feelings directly. After a moment of silence, he said, "Well, did you win her over?"
Xing Kui touched her head in confusion: "I don't know, I pulled her hair and she called me her bestie, whatever, having one less enemy is a good thing."
It should be said that when looking at Li Chengchuan, Xing Kui still had the word "pink" in her mind. She looked away embarrassedly, found something to divert her attention, and picked up her mobile phone to take pictures of her new home.
The soft light of the early morning shone on Xing Kui. She had a focused expression on her face, and her cream-colored cotton pajamas seemed to be dancing with light in the morning light.
As she said, the yellow was bright, and she stood among the black furniture, slender and thin, but like a star that could swallow the black.
Li Chengchuan's Adam's apple moved, and he felt a little thirsty. Suppressing the thirst, he asked in a deep voice: "You seem to be taking pictures all the time. You did when you were in the hospital, and yesterday too. Xu Ye told me that you borrowed his phone to take pictures."
"Yes, I asked him to send it to Lawyer Zhou, and Lawyer Zhou has forwarded it to me." Xing Kui selected the angles from which to take a panoramic photo of her home. "I'm working in self-media, so I have nothing to do anyway."
"We media?"
"Yeah, I'm sharing some daily stuff. I've even sent you some, but it doesn't involve privacy, so don't worry."
Xing Kui’s daily life includes him. Xing Kui’s daily life includes him. Xing Kui’s daily life includes him… Li Chengchuan almost couldn’t breathe for a moment. He raised his finger and tugged at the collar of his black shirt: “Can I see it?”
"Okay." Xing Kui came over. Her followers were growing rapidly, especially on a platform with a large user base like Douyin. Her total number of followers had exceeded 10,000. She clicked on a video and said, "Look."
The phone was brought closer, and the beautiful top of the head was also brought not far below Li Chengchuan's jaw.
The drooping hair is black and soft, the almond-shaped eyes are clean and clear, and the lips are pastel pink and soft, which makes people think of the feeling of kissing.
Li Chengchuan's throat was even more thirsty, his black pupils were deep, and Xing Kui exuded a minty scent. It definitely couldn't be because Zhou Jing hugged her or kissed her.
She just used Zhou Jing's toothpaste and she won't use it again in the future.
Xing Kui's cheeks were flushed. She didn't think anything of it when she agreed to show it to Li Chengchuan, but now when she clicked on the video and saw the floating barrage of comments, every hair on her body was clamoring to run away.
The video is not long. It shows the dress that Li Chengchuan gave Xing Kui when she was discharged from the hospital. There are a few lines of eye-catching text on the top, and the text details below are folded. It has been viewed 700,000 times, liked over 2,000 times, and the screen is full of comments.
【This is not an ordinary dress, this is a wedding dress! 】
[CEO Male Immortal Product! Please be sure to send more CEO Male! ]
[The host should update the doctor man. I’m hungry. I want to eat.]
【Lawyer Man, My Lawyer Man (Dark Creeping)】
Is the school bully gone? A young and energetic puppy is more suitable for the OP.
Xing Kui was so embarrassed she didn't know what to do. She scratched the edge of her phone with her fingers. "Well, it's normal to post this online and attract this kind of attention."
Nowadays, many companies set up official accounts on social media for marketing, and she thought Li Chengchuan should understand.
Li Chengchuan's gaze stopped at the words: "Doctor? Jiang Yuming?"
Xing Kui whispered: "Yeah."
Li Chengchuan: "Lawyer man? Zhou Jing?"
Xing Kui said even more quietly: "Yeah."
Li Chengchuan: "School bully, Xu Ye?"
Xing Kui's voice was as thin as a mosquito's: "Yeah."
After confirming the identities of the three people, Li Chengchuan looked at her. Because the corners of his eyes were slightly upturned, he looked oppressive when he looked down at people. Just when Xing Kui thought he was silently brewing anger, his clearly defined jaw nodded: "Okay."
He said, "Their image can bring heat."
Xing Kui's eyes lit up: "You don't mind?"
"Mind." Two short words.
Xing Kui dejected. It was all over. If Li Chengchuan forced her to delete the post, those people online who accused her of making up stories to create an account would probably think they had evidence and scold her even more fiercely.
"He said Xu Ye is more suitable for you. He's completely taking it for granted." Unexpectedly, Li Chengchuan pointed at the screen and commented, "In this day and age, being young doesn't necessarily mean being energetic. A self-disciplined person in their thirties who values exercise is no worse than a college student."
So that's what he was bothered about. Xing Kui quickly agreed, "That's right." She remembered what Li Chengchuan had said about Xu Ye before, and used it to compliment him, "Xu Ye hasn't even graduated from university yet, how can he compare to you, Mr. Li, who is mature, rational, steady, and noble."
Sorry for saving my life! She will praise you highly in the next post!
Li Chengchuan raised the corners of his lips. He hated the comments praising his friends, but he could still endure it for Xing Kui. After all, Xing Kui herself did not have the same thoughts as those in the comments, and the brothers she mentioned:
Jiang Yuming, who only loves supermodels, claims that he has no taste for Xing Kui.
Zhou Jing, a non-marriage advocate, is also his most sympathetic friend.
Xu Ye was a surprise, but he listened to his brother and changed his mind.
They are all reassuring.
What made him worry was a certain brother who had not yet returned to China. After the contract was signed, Li Chengchuan was at home, pouring water and chatting with Zhou Jing alone.
"Xu Ye confessed to me that he secretly took a picture of you hugging Xing Kui outside Feiyan Shopping Mall." Li Chengchuan drank a few sips of boiled water and his throat felt much better.
Zhou Jing sat cross-legged on the sofa with a gray laptop on his lap. He was typing on the keyboard calmly. He didn't even raise his head when he heard the words.
Li Chengchuan quietly observed Zhou Jing and made sure that there was nothing wrong before walking towards him with a cup of water. "Thank you for taking care of Xing Kui. It's all Xu Ye's fault. A few days ago, Xu Ye even sent the photo to that chatterbox."
Taking the glass from Li Chengchuan, Zhou Jing raised his fingertips, "So, it was he who sent the photo to Zhou Li, which caused her to flee the program and return to China?" He raised his eyelids, "Did you tell him not to come and retaliate against Xing Kui?"
"I told you that a long time ago." Li Chengchuan pinched his brows, a flash of anger between his brows, "But you also know me, I say one thing, he replies a hundred times, he doesn't listen at all."
That person is quite rebellious, arrogant, and conceited. Although he often talks about brotherhood, he is actually extremely selfish.
Despite this, he is extremely eager to fall in love. He goes to the temple every year to pray for love luck. Even his WeChat name is "Sweet love will find me."
In Li Chengchuan's eyes, Xing Kui is the best in the world.
If this brother met Xing Kui, Li Chengchuan could imagine the scene where the brothers became love rivals.
During this period, the talkative man who had wanted to return to China since Xing Kui was hospitalized had not been able to come back. It was also because Li Chengchuan had made preparations in advance and secretly prevented him from doing so.
"We do need to be vigilant. Zhou Li hugged Xing Kui's legs and cried for several minutes, which made Xing Kui give in. If he comes back and sticks to Xing Kui, the consequences will be unpredictable." Zhou Jing drank water calmly. Xing Kui was clearly not giving in. She had already avenged the hair pulling, but Zhou Jing did not mention it here.
The light shone through his gold-framed lenses, hiding the calculation in his eyes. "You don't want your fiancée to be snatched away by your brothers, do you?" He remained calm, using one rival to deal with another potential rival.
Li Chengchuan didn't know that there was a strong rival in love sitting in front of him, but he was indeed afraid of the other rival. He rubbed the knuckle of his ring finger and said, "I will pay attention, but..."
He said firmly, "Xing Kui won't like him. We've known each other for many years, and she has always been resistant to the opposite sex. Only she and I almost got married."
The water in Zhou Jing's cup rippled slightly, and the reflected water surface was covered with ripples: "You are special to her."
No way, Xing Kui only needed him to sign a marriage contract. Li Chengchuan felt bitter, but didn't want to tell his good brother, so he kept silent.
Zhou Jing put down the cup, removed the computer from his lap, and stood up: "We're done talking. My water heater broke during the day, so I'll take a shower at your place tonight."
Li Chengchuan frowned, obviously unwilling to let others use his private bathroom.
"Or should I go to Xing Kui's house to borrow it?"
"At my house." Li Chengchuan immediately changed his words, "But I'll wash it first."
Mist filled the frosted glass, and the crystal beads condensed on the ceiling flowed down like a curtain of water on the blurred mist surface. A broad palm soaked in milky white shower gel brushed across the narrow waist and the extremely sexy mermaid line.
Drops of water fell from Li Chengchuan's eyelashes, his pupils were as bright as the night. Because Xing Kui added him on WeChat and because Xing Kui lived next to him, his thin lips curved up in good mood.
Suddenly, the bathroom door opened.
Li Chengchuan was startled reflexively, and turned his sculpture-like perfect face, with a hint of doubt in his handsome eyes.
"Oh, you haven't finished washing yet." Zhou Jing glanced at him slowly, grabbed the door handle, and calmly stepped back. "Hurry up and wash. My time is precious."
Li Chengchuan was puzzled, turned around and continued to take a shower.
The bathroom door closed, and Zhou Jing stood by the door, pushing up the misted gold-rimmed glasses on his nose and smiling sarcastically.
Oh, pink.
Over there, at Xing Kui's house, Jiang Yuming's pink lips were pressed by a slender index finger. He knelt on Xing Kui's bed with one leg, smiling radiantly.
"Did you miss me? Good boy."
