Chapter 15 Don't Move
After returning home, the two went to their respective studies.
Xu Qingwu is still working overtime to process documents. This week she has to issue a legal opinion for the resort hotel acquisition project, and she also has a video conference to hold later.
With the experience of kissing in mind, Cen Xihuai turned on his computer to search for tips and precautions for couples’ first time.
Seeing Xu Qingwu was busy, he went to take a shower first.
At ten o'clock, Xu Qingwu knocked on the master bedroom door.
There is still an hour, which is enough.
"It's still early tonight..."
Before Cen Xihuai could finish his words, Xu Qingwu looked apologetic and said, "I have a meeting to attend and I don't know when it will end. I'll sleep in the children's room tonight so as not to disturb your bedtime."
Cen Xihuai: "..."
Xu Qingwu closed the door, returned to the study, and attended the meeting that had been postponed for an hour.
When lying down on the big bed, Xu Qingwu rolled around happily. It was so comfortable to sleep alone!
Xu Qingwu slept until dawn, but Cen Xihuai suffered from insomnia, which was rare.
In the afternoon, Shen Qian asked Xu Qingwu to meet at the coffee shop downstairs from her law firm.
Xu Qingwu certainly knew why she came, but before she could refuse, Princess Shen's second message came right after.
"I'm here. Come down to see me immediately."
Princess Shen continued to do her own thing, not caring at all that it was still working hours.
Xu Qingwu knew that if she didn't see her within ten minutes, Shen Qian would probably come and kill her in her own style.
Xu Qingwu had no choice but to ask Yang Yu to keep watch for her while she slipped away for a while.
Shen Qian sat next to the French window, wearing a bright little dress, like a proud peacock.
Xu Qingwu walked over and sat down in front of her.
"Xu Qingwu, why did you bully Qin Rou? She just stood up for me and said a few words to you, but you beat her in the face and she had to go to the hospital."
"You want to help her get revenge and fight back?"
Shen Qian got angry when she saw Xu Qingwu's indifferent look, but she still remembered the purpose of her visit today.
Qin Rou begged her to speak well of this to Xu Qingwu, asking Cen Xihuai not to cancel the cooperation between the two families. Once the cooperation fell through, many other businesses tailored for the Qin family would not be able to be carried out, which would be a devastating blow to the Qin family.
Shen Qian restrained her temper a little: "Qin Rou is not so vicious, she wants you to help plead with your husband."
"Why should I help?"
"You..." Shen Qian was speechless for a moment, and said indignantly, "You beat her face like that, and you let your husband harm her father's company, Xu Qingwu, why are you so mean!"
Xu Qingwu laughed instead of getting angry: "Didn't she tell you why I hit her?"
Shen Qian was stunned.
Qin Rou said that because of what she said to Xu Qingwu about the necklace, she was beaten by Xu Qingwu and was disfigured, and her family's cooperation was lost. When Shen Qian heard that the incident was caused by her, of course she couldn't just stand by and watch, and she patted her chest and promised to help her get justice.
She actually forgot to ask what Qin Rou said specifically that made Xu Qingwu so angry.
Although Xu Qingwu has a cold personality, even if she does something a little too much, Xu Qingwu would just smile and make a few sarcastic remarks at her and never hit her.
Shen Qian felt that something was fishy, but she couldn't leave without finding out what was going on.
"Why did you hit her?"
"Go ask your good sister."
"Xu Qingwu, tell me!"
Xu Qingwu's face turned cold: "She scolded me for not having parents."
"Where do you have parents? My second uncle and second aunt..." Shen Qian blurted out, and only realized halfway through that Xu Qingwu was not the biological daughter of the Shen family. After all, her last name was Xu.
"Qin Rou dared to lie to me! I didn't know she was so mean!" Shen Qian was so angry that her cheeks puffed up, like a puffer fish that would explode at any moment.
Xu Qingwu reminded her: "Don't mention this to your uncle and aunt."
"I'm not stupid." Shen Qian felt a little guilty, and suddenly remembered Xu Qingwu gossiping with her at the auction yesterday. "Oh, right, I heard there was a pink diamond yesterday. A slightly smaller one at the previous auction was only worth 50 million. This one must be over 100 million at most. Some stupid, rich idiot actually spent 200 million!"
Xu Qingwu took out the necklace she had won from Shen Qian and returned it to her: "Hush money."
She originally wanted to take the necklace just to piss off Shen Qian, and she would find an excuse to return it when she had enough fun with it.
"No, if I give it to you, it's yours. I'm not that stingy."
"Really? Then Qin Rou picked a fight with me because of the necklace?"
Shen Qian said stubbornly: "I just complained to her because I was so angry at that time."
"You take it." Xu Qingwu stood up and smiled faintly. "That idiot yesterday was my husband. He insisted on buying it for me as a wedding ring. He didn't like the small one."
Shen Qian: “…”
Ah! That pink diamond was supposed to be hers! That annoying Xu Qingwu!
Seeing Shen Qian suffer a setback, her 100 million was finally worth a little bit of the ticket price.
Xu Qingwu went back to work and her good mood lasted until the end of the day.
"Assistant Ding, good afternoon~"
"Good afternoon to you, too, ma'am."
Ding Cheng opened the car door for her, and the cold gaze from inside the car made him sweat profusely.
"You look very handsome today, it's good news..."
Xu Qingwu bent down to get into the car, and paused when she saw the unexpected man in the car.
Why is Cen Xihuai here?
Xu Qingwu was silent for a moment, then politely greeted him, "Good afternoon."
Cen Xihuai nodded.
When Xu Qingwu said good afternoon to Ding Cheng, the rising tone of voice was in a very cheerful tone, but when she spoke to him it was a polite greeting.
Cen Xihuai looked at Ding Cheng who was sitting upright in front of him. Ding Cheng had tied a tie and had his hair done today. He looked more energetic than usual.
Cen Xihuai asked, "Assistant Ding, is there anything good going on today?"
As an assistant, he is best at observing people's expressions and words. Although the boss's tone of voice is the same as usual, Ding Cheng still has a level one alarm in his heart.
After all, when has a boss who is only focused on work ever cared about his life?
Ding Cheng said honestly: "My aunt introduced me to a blind date tonight."
"Assistant Ding is very good, there will be good results."
"Thank you, ma'am." Ding Cheng was a little embarrassed. "I'm not good with words. I'm afraid I'll say something wrong and make the girl angry."
Xu Qingwu sincerely suggested: "Buy a bunch of flowers. Girls all like flowers."
Cen Xihuai looked at Xu Qingwu with a thoughtful expression.
Ding Cheng smiled innocently: "Brother Yao taught me, and I have already made an appointment with the florist."
Xu Qingwu thought that Assistant Yao was quite well-rounded and also served as a love strategist. The last time she received the gift that Cen Xihuai brought her for a business trip was thanks to Assistant Yao.
"Assistant Yao is quite capable. You won't go wrong if you listen to him. Keep it up!"
"Thank you, Madam, for your good wishes."
The two chatted back and forth, and Cen Xihuai, who had been silent beside them, suddenly said, "Don't move."
Xu Qingwu: “?”
He leaned too close, as if he was going to kiss her in the next second. Xu Qingwu held her breath gently.
Cen Xihuai stared at her face without blinking, frowning slightly with a serious expression.
Then he quickly stroked her eyelids and tore off a small crescent-shaped piece of transparent material with a ripping sound. He examined it in confusion: "There's tape."
Xu Qingwu looked at the so-called "tape" on his fingertips, her eyelids twitched, and she smiled speechlessly: "This tape also has a scientific name, called double eyelid tape."
Cen Xihuai: "..."
