Chapter 22 Do it now?
The atmosphere of the concert was very good. Cen Yue and Xia Xiaoxiao were singing and dancing excitedly. Xu Qingwu was also inspired by them and felt relaxed and happy.
After the show, Xu Qingwu returned to the hotel and took out her cell phone from her bag to charge it. Only then did she see the message sent by Cen Xihuai in the afternoon.
Strange, wasn't he on a business trip? Why did he ask her where she was?
Xu Qingwu replied: "I was watching a concert in Xiangshan'ao and just returned to the hotel."
It was already half past eleven, and Xu Qingwu guessed that Cen Xihuai had already fallen asleep, so she went to the bathroom to take a shower.
There was no movement for the entire afternoon. If Cen Yue hadn't been live streaming and flooding her Moments with updates, Cen Xihuai would have really suspected that Xu Qingwu had been kidnapped.
He came back from Xiangshanao and she was there.
Still chasing other men
Under the stage lights, she did look young and beautiful, but she almost hugged several women and even kissed the back of one woman's hand. He couldn't understand such behavior in public.
However, he also realized that G and D were probably two of these people. He couldn't tell who they were, and they all looked the same to him.
First it was Cen Du, then this G and D...
His new wife's taste is really average.
When Cen Xihuai received Xu Qingwu's reply, he was reading a book, "One Hundred Years of Solitude" by Marquez. He stopped reading and picked up the phone.
"Sunday is our date."
Cen Xihuai sent this message. He felt it necessary to remind his newlywed wife to remember their agreement. If one party did not abide by it, the agreement would be meaningless and their marriage would be in jeopardy. This was not the result he wanted to see.
However, there has been no news from the other side.
Is she blaming herself? Taking a shower? Falling asleep? Or simply not wanting to go back?
Cen Xihuai made many assumptions in his mind, and Xu Qingwu finally replied twenty minutes later.
"Assistant Yao said you'll be away for about two days."
So, she called him yesterday afternoon not to ask him out, but to make sure he wouldn't come back.
Cen Xihuai's indifferent expression cracked a little. After a moment of silence, he pursed his lips and typed, "I haven't done the two times this week yet."
He posted this kind of thing like an unfinished task, which really deepened her stereotype of him. Xu Qingwu was so embarrassed that she dug her toes into the ground. Since everyone didn't have time, then they didn't do it. Since the two of them were not in the same place, could they do it with their minds?
Xu Qingwu didn't reply for a long time. Cen Xihuai couldn't help but frown and added: "I hope both of us can abide by the agreement."
Xu Qingwu understood. They were dating twice a week. In the final analysis, he was accusing her of breaking her promise.
"Aren't you on a business trip?" Xu Qingwu replied to him. She hoped he could figure out the whole story.
As if tired of typing, Cen Xihuai called, Xu Qingwu answered, and the man's deep voice came over.
"I went home today and you weren't here."
No, why did you come back suddenly?
Xu Qingwu explained: "Didn't Assistant Yao say it would take two more days? I thought you wouldn't be back today, and since Xiaoyue was in a bad mood, I came here to accompany her."
"I understand."
Xu Qingwu breathed a sigh of relief and asked for his opinion: "How about the two times this week..."
Before he could even utter the word "forget it", he heard Cen Xihuai say, "It will be postponed until next week."
Can this be postponed?
Xu Qingwu was speechless for a moment, but it seemed that she was in the wrong first, so she could only agree: "Okay."
Cen Xihuai reminded: "There is still a date today."
Are you the reincarnation of Abacus? Xu Qingwu didn't dare to say what was in his heart, so he could only continue: "Okay."
With his rights protected, Cen Xihuai's lips twitched slightly, and he took off his glasses with satisfaction: "I'm going to sleep, you should go to bed early too."
The phone was hung up, the clock pointed to twelve o'clock, and a full hour had passed since Cen Xihuai's bedtime.
On Monday morning, Xu Qingwu and the other two returned to Beijing.
After having lunch together, those who need to go to work go to work, and those who need to go to school go to school.
Xu Qingwu returned to the law firm and yawned at his workstation.
After finishing the call with Cen Xihuai last night, Cen Yue dragged me out for a drink. The three of us went crazy until midnight, and even after a few hours of sleep on the plane, I still couldn't recover.
Until the online meeting with Party A in the afternoon, Xu Qingwu and Yang Yu will need to accompany Party A's staff to the resort hotel for an on-site investigation in two days to complete asset and liability verification and compliance review.
After get off work, Yao Wei came to pick her up.
Xu Qingwu remembered that Cen Xihuai had returned early from a business trip and asked him, "Assistant Yao, why did your CEO Cen come back on Sunday?"
Yao Wei: "The partner temporarily changed the contract. Mr. Cen changed the partner."
Xu Qingwu thought about the project at hand and couldn't help but sigh: "It's really unethical to go back on your word after agreeing on something."
Yao Wei added, "Mr. Cen had originally agreed to discuss the terms with the other party on Sunday morning, but after learning you called him, he postponed the meeting and returned directly as planned."
Xu Qingwu: "..."
Could it be that Cen Xihuai thought that she called him to remind him of his date on Sunday?
This is really a big misunderstanding.
Cen Xihuai didn't get home until almost ten o'clock. The lights in the master bedroom were off. Xu Qingwu had already washed up and was lying on the bed chatting with Cen Yue and the others.
Cen Xihuai walked in and frowned when he saw the light source on the bed.
"I'm back."
"OK."
Cen Xihuai reminded her: "Turn off the lights and play with your phone while lying on your side is bad for your eyes."
"...Then should I turn on the light?" Xu Qingwu reached out to touch the bedside lamp.
"If you close your eyes and suddenly turn on the light, it will irritate your eyes."
"oh…"
Xu Qingwu stopped moving and closed her eyes. When she felt the light coming from outside, she opened her eyes.
Cen Xihuai took his pajamas and went to the bathroom.
Xu Qingwu's peaceful heart was disturbed by him. It had been more than a week since they got the marriage certificate, but she still found it difficult to adapt to living with someone else.
Just like she had difficulty falling asleep, so she habitually turned off the lights and played with her mobile phone to let her body get used to the darkness so that it would be easier to fall asleep. However, Cen Xihuai said that this was bad for the eyes.
She has maintained this habit for many years and has not seen any damage to her eyes. On the contrary, why does Cen Xihuai still wear glasses when he is so health-conscious?
When she heard the sound of water in the bathroom stop, Xu Qingwu sat up and leaned against the headboard to play with her cell phone to avoid being scolded by him again.
It was almost eleven o'clock when Cen Xihuai came out of the shower and lay down outside.
Xu Qingwu looked at the time, put down his phone and turned off the lights.
She finally understood why some people needed a self-disciplined partner. Ever since she started sleeping in the same bed with Cen Xihuai, her habit of staying up late to play with her mobile phone has been cured. She dared not play with it at all for fear of disturbing her bed partner's sleep.
With his mind full of wild thoughts, Xu Qingwu was not sleepy and turned over carefully.
Cen Xihuai asked, "Can't sleep?"
Xu Qingwu said honestly: "I have trouble falling asleep."
"Sleep disorder?"
"It's not that serious."
"oh."
Cen Xihuai didn't ask any more questions, the air became quiet, and Xu Qingwu thought he must have fallen asleep.
"Do it now?"
"What?"
Xu Qingwu was startled and thought she was hallucinating.
Cen Xihuai was originally worried that Xu Qingwu was tired from the flight and needed sleep, but she said she couldn't sleep.
Cen Xihuai: "Proper exercise helps with sleep, and we need four times this week."
Xu Qingwu: "..."
