Chapter 138: Sense of Loss
There was still a slight tremor in Xu Qingwu's accusing voice. Cen Xihuai stopped the urge to take a step closer for fear of scaring her.
"No." Cen Xihuai replied.
He wasn't lying, because it was before that when he saw her precious cat holding her toes and biting them.
Xu Qingwu doesn't wear high heels very often. Her feet are very nice, with slender ankles, a smooth arch, and round white toes.
Having helped her pack her shoes several times, Cen Xihuai was very curious about how small her feet were. Today, after secretly measuring them with the palm of his hand, he found that they were not even as long as his hand.
Small and cute.
It can be controlled with one hand.
…
The next morning, when Xu Qingwu was putting on her socks, she couldn't help but think of those scenes that were difficult to pass the review.
If it weren't for last night, she wouldn't have known she could use her feet...
She was so coaxed by Cen Xihuai that she felt dizzy and acted like a puppet, doing whatever he said.
When she came to her senses, she only heard a low gasp in her ear: "Good boy, baby..."
The scorching temperature seemed to still be warm, and Xu Qingwu didn't dare to look directly at her feet.
She hastily put on her cotton socks and went downstairs.
The man who was full of sexiness last night has now changed into a neat suit, with his shirt buttoned tightly and his tie tied neatly, looking like a gentleman and abstinent.
They are completely different people.
Cen Xihuai greeted her: "Good morning, come and have breakfast."
"Let's eat later." Xu Qingwu sat down opposite him and said seriously, "Delete that link."
Cen Xihuai gave her the phone and asked her to delete the message herself, then picked up the glass and poured her hot milk.
Xu Qingwu found the link she had sent by mistake in the chat box between the two, long-pressed it, and clicked delete.
After deleting it, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Cen Xihuai placed the hot milk in front of her and said calmly, "But I've already finished reading it."
Xu Qingwu almost spit out a mouthful of milk: "When?"
"While you were sleeping."
"Why are you secretly watching this?!"
"I didn't." Cen Xihuai defended himself, "I invited you to watch it with me, but you refused."
Xu Qingwu choked: "How many tricks do you have left?"
Cen Xihuai thought for a moment and said, "There are still some more. I will teach you slowly later."
Xu Qingwu: “…………”
There was not much work to do in the new week. After the amusement park project was completely completed, a new project was assigned to Xu Qingwu and her team on Friday. After everyone arrived, they were called to the conference room for a meeting.
At this moment, everyone is full of confidence and vows to win this project to make the upcoming year-end bonus more generous.
After the meeting, the team leader asked Xu Qingwu to stay.
It was said that Dong Yao had specifically mentioned her name when signing the contract for the previous amusement park project. After her superiors knew about this, they ended her probation period early. Today, the human resources department will sign a formal contract with her. After becoming a formal employee, she will also be able to receive some year-end bonuses according to the proportion of the remaining months.
Xu Qingwu was quite surprised. During the probation period, she only received a basic salary with no commission and no year-end bonus. Now that she has been converted to a regular employee, she has everything she deserves and her wallet can be fatter again.
Xu Qingwu had just left the meeting room when the HR department came over with the contract for her to review.
During lunch break.
Xu Qingwu habitually shared the good news in the three-person group, but no one replied.
Xia Xiaoxiao has been so busy lately that she's nowhere to be seen. The most active person in the group is nowhere to be seen now. Cen Yue also disappeared after she posted a photo of herself copying a self-criticism early in the morning.
Xu Qingwu sent another message to Cen Xihuai. Cen Xihuai congratulated her and told her that he had to go to the next city temporarily.
It happened that in another group, Chen Ke was calling them to eat spicy hot pot. Yang Yu sent a hand-raising emoticon, and Xu Qingwu also followed suit.
After get off work, the three met at a spicy hot pot restaurant.
Chen Ke, who used to be extremely disgusted with it, is now very familiar with it and can adjust the spiciness herself.
Xu Qingwu: "It's my treat today, eat as much as you want."
Yang Yu looked over and asked, "Qingwu, what good thing happened to you?"
"I was officially promoted early."
"Congratulations! I also submitted my resume to your law firm today. I'd like to take advantage of your good luck."
"I hope you can come and accompany me soon."
Chen Ke was unhappy: "Hey, you two are being so affectionate and treating me like air?"
"No, you can enjoy your meal today."
"It's only a few hundred to have fun."
"Ms. Chen, a few hundred yuan is still expensive for us workers, okay?"
"Then I'll treat you. I don't have to work."
Yang Yu didn't care about their bickering. They were both rich people, so she just had to eat her food.
They were a little full, so they drank a few glasses of cold beer out of joy. Chen Ke's driver drove over, and Xu Qingwu asked Chen Ke to send Yang Yu home first. She planned to walk home, which would take less than twenty minutes.
Winter nights are a bit cold.
Xu Qingwu remembered that when she and Cen Xihuai walked together, he always liked to hold her hand. After she got used to it, she also liked to find his hand in his coat pocket, which was dry and warm.
Xu Qingwu called him and Cen Xihuai answered the phone quickly.
"Cen Xihuai, when will you come back?"
"I'll be back tomorrow, what's wrong?"
"Nothing serious."
"Have you eaten yet?"
"I had spicy hot pot with Chen Ke and Yang Yu. Don't blame me, I haven't had it in a long time."
"Nothing to say to you, is it delicious?"
"It's delicious. Do you want to try it next time? I'll treat you."
"good."
Xu Qingwu was about to say something when she heard Yao Wei calling Cen Xihuai from the other end of the line. She had no choice but to say, "Go ahead and do your work. I'll be home in ten minutes."
"Stay safe and text me when you get home."
"Okay, bye."
After hanging up the phone, I felt an inexplicable sense of loss.
When I was in college, one of my roommates was in a long-distance relationship. She would talk on the phone with her boyfriend until late at night every night, and they would only talk about meaningless topics.
She didn’t understand what was so great about it before, but now she thinks it’s nice to have someone to share the trivialities of life with.
She didn't know whether the feeling of loss at this moment was due to the alcohol or her dependence on Cen Xihuai.
But even if it's dependence, it doesn't matter, she and Cen Xihuai are married.
It's normal for a wife to depend on her husband.
Just as she was lost in thought, someone suddenly grabbed her wrist and she looked up in surprise.
It’s the lingering ghost of He Xu.
He Xu has been with Xu Qingwu for a while, but he has always had a car to pick him up and he has no idea where to start.
She was alone today. Just as He Xu was about to take action, he saw her taking out her cell phone to make a call, so he held back.
It was the first time he heard Xu Qingwu speak in such a sticky voice, soft and heart-wrenching.
When they were dating, Xu Qingwu was very cold and polite, and people didn't dare to offend her easily. Later, he felt more and more bored, and coupled with the pressure from work, he thought about seeking excitement and finding other women.
But I didn't expect that she could also act like a spoiled child.
But that person was not him.
Xu Qingwu tried to break free from his hand: "What do you want to do? Let go!"
Someone looked over, and He Xu scolded: "Be quiet, don't force me to hurt you."
Xu Qingwu ignored the pain in his wrist and raised his leg to kick He Xu, but He Xu knew that Xu Qingwu had learned Taekwondo and was prepared.
He took out a syringe from his pocket and stabbed it into the back of her neck.
As the cold liquid was injected into his body through the needle hole, Xu Qingwu felt a chill in his spine. "He Xu, what did you inject me with?"
