Chapter 174 Insomnia
Cen Xihuai let go of Xu Qingwu and gently pinched her fair cheeks a few times. Her hands felt very smooth and comfortable.
“No.”
Xu Qingwu: “?”
Cen Xihuai explained: "You just recovered from your cold. It's not appropriate to do anything too intense."
Xu Qingwu: “???”
no!
Brother, why don't you flirt with me?
I made her feel neither up nor down, and teased her to the point where she was almost exhausted, and then I told her I didn't want to do it.
Xu Qingwu was furious and glared at him angrily: "Why are you taking off my skirt if you're not doing it?"
Cen Xihuai was a little embarrassed as he pulled the sling back onto her shoulders and even kindly adjusted it for her: "Sorry, it was just a matter of time."
Xu Qingwu: "..."
Cen Xihuai discussed with her patiently, "Can we use another method? I'll go wash my hands again."
"No need!"
Xu Qingwu pushed him away and went to her room to sleep.
She was used to turning on a small desk lamp when she slept in a hotel. At this moment, the dim light shone on Cen Xihuai's face, and he was still sleeping in the same straight position.
Xu Qingwu thought of the first time they slept in the same bed.
They were not familiar with each other at the time, and she waited nervously and awkwardly and even asked him directly, but he said he was used to going to bed before eleven o'clock.
After sleeping with him for a long time, she changed her habit of staying up late and her insomnia symptoms improved a lot.
However, today, she suffered from insomnia for the first time in a long time.
Because of her one-sided emotional change towards Cen Xihuai.
They started with a marriage arrangement. The essence of a marriage arrangement is the exchange of interests without any emotion. So can she really like Cen Xihuai?
If Cen Xihuai knew that her love for him was not just that of a wife for her husband, but that of a woman for a man.
What would he think?
Do you think she's crossing a line?
Will the relaxed and harmonious relationship that has existed for some time be destroyed?
Xu Qingwu was full of concerns.
She didn't know how Cen Xihuai defined their relationship.
Are they a married couple who respect each other, or can they go further and become lovers who love each other?
No wonder wise men don't fall in love.
Love is such a distressing thing!
During the past few days in Hangzhou, Xu Qingwu went to work and Cen Xihuai went to the branch to inspect the progress.
In the past, the emperor was far away and everyone worked in the branch company with ease. However, the big boss suddenly showed up, and the whole company was filled with unspeakable seriousness and tension.
The biggest victim among them was Cen Du.
Ever since Cen Xihuai came, his workload has skyrocketed. He has no time to go to nightclubs, bars or clubs. He goes to work as soon as he opens his eyes and works overtime after get off work.
I keep asking myself this question every day: when will my uncle be able to return to Beijing?
"When will you return to Beijing?"
Xu Qingwu asked the man beside her while eating breakfast. She still remembered that Assistant Yao said that Cen Xihuai was very busy at the end of the year. It was already Friday including Tuesday night, but he didn't seem to have any intention of leaving.
Seeing the soup overflowing from the corners of her mouth while she was eating the dumplings, Cen Xihuai pulled out a tissue and handed it to her: "No rush."
Xu Qingwu took it and wiped his mouth: "Okay."
Cen Xihuai asked, "You're not annoying me and want to kick me out, are you?"
"Of course not." Xu Qingwu added, "Our project probably won't be finished until next week. If it's convenient for you to stay until the weekend, we can go to the temple together."
"Is the lady asking me out on a date?"
"I guess so." Xu Qingwu took a sip of milk and added, "The temples in Hangzhou are quite powerful. It's not auspicious for us to have been kidnapped and then in a car accident. It's best to go to the temple to pray and purify ourselves and get rid of the bad luck."
Cen Xihuai was silent: "...Okay."
After Cen Xihuai went to the branch office, Xu Qingwu took her notebook and went to Yang Yu's room to find her. They had a video conference with the senior management of Party A's headquarters this morning.
It starts at ten o'clock, and there is still more than half an hour left.
Yang Yu is knitting a scarf while watching a new Korean drama.
As soon as she saw Xu Qingwu, she put down her work and went to the suitcase to give her the bag containing the ball of yarn and a small piece of scarf. "Qingwu, you should hurry up too. Don't forget to prepare the gifts before the holiday."
"Okay." Xu Qingwu sat down next to her.
Yang Yu is now proficient enough to knit blindly, but Xu Qingwu doesn't have this skill yet. She doesn't understand Korean, so she asked Yang Yu to watch a local TV series instead, and she would listen while knitting.
Yang Yu felt thirsty after knitting for a while, so she went to drink some water. When she passed by, she discovered that Xu Qingwu had made a few mistakes in stitches.
After she reminded him, Xu Qingwu had no choice but to tear it down and start over.
"Qingwu, what's wrong with you? Don't you already know how to weave?"
"Maybe I haven't knitted for a few days, so I don't feel the touch anymore."
Xu Qingwu sighed in her heart. Just now, while she was knitting, she thought of Cen Xihuai.
If your mind is in a mess, the needle will go wrong.
With this progress bar, can she still give this scarf away by Christmas?
I had a meeting with Party A's senior management in the morning, and an hour after lunch I had another meeting with the buyer who wanted to acquire Party A's subsidiary. After that, I had an internal meeting with colleagues from the branch office.
After a whole day, it was already five in the afternoon.
Xu Qingwu invited Yang Yu to have dinner together, but Yang Yu had already made an appointment to meet an old classmate and said that she would not come to be a third wheel for her and Cen Xihuai.
But the light bulb is someone else.
Before Xu Qingwu had the chance to ask Cen Xihuai what they wanted to eat in the evening, Cen Xihuai had already called her and said that Cen Du wanted to treat them to dinner as a courtesy.
Cen Du was completely forced by his parents.
After learning from Cen Yue that Cen Xihuai and Xu Qingwu had gone to Hangzhou, the two of them called Cen Du and asked him to entertain his uncle and aunt well.
Cen Du was still working overtime when the call came. He was so angry that he had to spend money to treat others. He felt that there was no one more miserable than himself.
But then he thought, what if his uncle thinks he behaves well tonight and won't torture him, so he might as well spend some money.
You can earn money again, but you only have one life, and if you work yourself to death, it’s gone.
So, Cen Du spent a lot of money to treat Cen Xihuai and his wife to a restaurant where the average cost per person was 5,000 yuan. His salary was only 5,000 yuan a month. Who would understand?
Cen Du waited at the restaurant door in advance to make sure that Cen Xihuai could not find fault with him in terms of etiquette.
Xu Qingwu was still a little nervous when she got into Cen Xihuai's car.
She didn't understand what Cen Du meant by suddenly inviting her to dinner, nor did she know whether Cen Xihuai knew that she went to the bar. If she had known, she would have confessed it that day. She was just accompanying Yang Yu and didn't do anything bad.
When the two of them arrived at the restaurant, Cen Du greeted them politely, "Hello, uncle, aunt."
Xu Qingwu nodded, and Cen Xihuai hummed, "Go in."
The three of them went to the private room that Cen Du had booked long ago. He handed the menu to Cen Xihuai, who took it and placed it directly in front of Xu Qingwu.
Xu Qingwu whispered to him, "You order, I don't like ordering."
Cen Xihuai took back the menu, ordered some according to Xu Qingwu's taste, and then returned the menu to Cen Du for him to order.
Cen Xihuai asked, "Is the salary enough to spend?"
Cen Du's eyes lit up. Is his uncle going to give him a raise?
Although he has no shortage of money, the meager salary he has received since he started working really makes him feel embarrassed.
He said carefully: "Not enough."
Unexpectedly, Cen Xihuai had no intention of giving him a raise. He said in a cold voice, "Then how can you afford to eat here?"
Cen Du was almost mad at the king crab that Cen Xihuai ordered, and thought to himself, then don’t eat it!
However, Cen Du didn't dare to speak his mind, and could only say obediently: "I'll make more money, but I can't treat you and my aunt unfairly."
Fortunately, Cen Xihuai didn't like to talk much at the dinner table, so the three of them ate quietly.
On the way, Xu Qingwu went to the bathroom and met Cen Du when she came out.
Cen Du pleaded with her pitifully, "Aunt, please let my uncle return to Beijing as soon as possible. He is tormenting me so much."
Xu Qingwu was just about to ask him, "Have you told your uncle about my going to the bar?"
Cen Du was embarrassed: "I said..."
Xu Qingwu: "..."
So, Cen Xihuai deliberately video-called her that night, and the story about not finding fish oil was also a fabrication.
Okay, okay, she lied, and Cen Xihuai also lied.
So they are playing Mr. and Mrs. Smith here, right?
