Chapter 60 Is it wrong?
Maybe it was because he drank honey grapefruit water last night, or maybe it was just because he drank low-alcohol beer, but Xu Qingwu didn't feel particularly uncomfortable when he woke up the next day.
Mother Yang had prepared some hangover soup for her early in the morning and asked with concern, "Do you have a headache?"
Xu Qingwu thanked him and took it, then drank the hangover soup: "A little bit, it's no problem."
Yang Ma: "Why did you drink so much yesterday? You can't drink alcohol when taking Chinese medicine. You have to avoid certain foods."
Thinking of last night, Xu Qingwu paused slightly. She couldn't accurately describe her mood at that time, but it should be a feeling of being deceived.
She mistakenly thought that Cen Xihuai, despite promising her that he would not have extramarital affairs, was still having an affair with another woman.
She thought he was lying to her.
Xu Qingwu smiled at Yang Ma: "I understand. I won't do that next time."
Cen Xihuai had just finished working out and taking a shower, and was already dressed neatly, with a black, crisp shirt tucked into his trousers, a suit jacket in his hand, as he strolled over.
Xu Qingwu lowered her head, pretending not to see him, and concentrated on drinking her porridge.
Cen Xihuai sat down across from her and explained in a clear voice, "I answered Yu Qing's call yesterday because I thought Mr. Yu had something to pass on to her. I didn't ignore your call on purpose. I just happened to be in a meeting. I can show you the meeting minutes."
Xu Qingwu poked the bowl with a spoon and hummed.
Seeing that she was not in high spirits, Cen Xihuai continued to ask: "Did you drink because of this yesterday?"
"No, I just want to drink." Although it was actually true, Xu Qingwu still wanted to be stubborn.
"You have to avoid certain foods while taking Chinese medicine. I'll drink with you when you're done, okay?"
No blame, but gentle discussion.
Since he had already explained it clearly, Xu Qingwu had no intention of continuing to care about it.
"I see." Xu Qingwu asked, "How did you know I was there?"
Cen Xihuai didn't hide it from her: "Cen Du saw you and your colleague."
So that's how it is.
Cen Xihuai didn't come for Yu Qing, but for her. However, she misunderstood that Cen Xihuai had deceived her, and she got drunk and went crazy, and even kissed him all over the place in a daze.
The same mistake was made twice in just half a month. Alcohol is really harmful to people!
Seeing that Xu Qingwu's ears began to turn red, Cen Xihuai knew that she was thinking about what happened last night again.
Sure enough, the next moment Xu Qingwu left in a hurry, just like last time, using the excuse that he had something to do at the law firm.
Cen Xihuai glanced at the back, put his suit on his arm, and followed her.
It wasn't until Cen Xihuai also sat down in the back seat that Xu Qingwu felt strange: "Your company and law firm are in different directions. Did you get on the wrong bus?"
Cen Xihuai closed the car door and said, "I'll take you to work. I have to go on a business trip later."
Xu Qingwu's eyes lit up: "How many days?"
Cen Xihuai raised his eyebrows slightly: "How many days do you want me to be gone?"
"How do I know how many days you'll be gone?"
"I'll be back on the weekend."
Xu Qingwu said "oh", and the ending tone rose slightly uncontrollably. Cen Xihuai curled his lips helplessly.
After sending Xu Qingwu to the law firm, Cen Xihuai went on a business trip to San Francisco. The trip was supposed to be next week, but in order to give his shy wife some buffer time, he arranged it in advance.
Xu Qingwu went to the cafe to get coffee and happened to meet the two colleagues who had said bad things about her in the bathroom yesterday. They greeted her with a smile and she smiled back.
We're just colleagues, so just be polite on the surface.
Xu Qingwu found He Yiyang and handed him a cup of coffee. He Yiyang understood what she meant, made a zipper-like gesture with his mouth, and happily took her coffee.
Only then did Xu Qingwu understand that there was some reason why He Yiyang was able to successfully pass the probation period. In social life, emotional intelligence is sometimes more important than talent.
When passing by Huang Yun's seat, Xu Qingwu also put a cup of coffee for her. Huang Yun was surprised: "You didn't poison me, did you?"
Xu Qingwu was speechless: "Don't worry, even if I poison you, I will do it in front of you."
Huang Yun thought she was baffling, but she knew she would drink the free coffee if she didn't. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Thanks."
Yang Yu pulled Xu Qingwu over and asked curiously, "Why did you buy coffee for Huang Yun?"
Xu Qingwu smiled and said, "It's just something that comes naturally. By the way, what did you do yesterday?"
"Hey, my dad had acute appendicitis yesterday, and I asked He Yiyang to take care of you."
"Thank you. Is uncle okay?"
"It's okay. I had surgery last night. Let's get to work!"
"good."
There is a time difference between San Francisco and Beijing. She and Cen Xihuai are on different time channels. One is at night while the other is at daytime. In addition, both of them are very busy, so they only make a long-distance call at night.
On the first day of Cen Xihuai's business trip, Xu Qingwu was a little excited about living alone in a big house. On the second day, she began to feel that the house was so big that it had an echo. On the third day, she inexplicably felt lonely, so she brought Cen Yue and Xia Xiaoxiao over to sleep with her in the middle of the night.
The three of them were having a barbecue on the large terrace, and Xia Xiaoxiao took another bottle of wine and wanted to go with her.
"I can't drink it." Xu Qingwu smiled bitterly, "I'm taking Chinese medicine."
"Are you ill?"
Cen Yue and Xia Xiaoxiao said in unison, and Xu Qingwu shook her head: "No, it's because my period is too painful, so Cen Xihuai insisted on taking me to see an old Chinese doctor."
"This is something my uncle can do."
"Getting married is so horrible. I'd rather die in pain than drink Chinese medicine. I feel my life is too bitter after taking one sip."
Xu Qingwu didn't want to discuss this. Even mentioning it made her feel bitter in her mouth. "Don't drink anymore. I'll make some juice for you."
So Cen Yue and Xia Xiaoxiao stayed behind, one flipping the noodles while the other rubbed oil and added seasonings. Xu Qingwu put the wine away and went to the kitchen to make juice.
Cen Yue, who used to love eating pork belly, didn't want to eat meat today as she was still experiencing pregnancy reactions. She was very considerate and grilled meat for the two of them, occasionally allowing them to eat some vegetarian dishes.
Xia Xiaoxiao asked while eating, "Xiaoyue, your pregnancy is so hard. How are you and Qi Yan?"
Cen Yue flipped the sizzling meat over and said nonchalantly, "I can go crazy anytime, anywhere. Since I can't go crazy, I'll just let Qi Gou go crazy. When he can't stand it anymore and signs the divorce agreement, I'll be free."
"Don't talk about me, Qingwu, are you and uncle okay?"
"fine."
Although they are not as loving as other couples, nor as affectionate as other couples, they are not as unfamiliar as they were at the beginning. After all, they have maintained a distance more than once or twice.
The next day, Xia Xiaoxiao was going to the next city to attend an exchange meeting, and Cen Yue was also going to Hong Kong on a business trip, leaving Xu Qingwu alone again in the evening.
After watching a movie in the theater, she went upstairs to wash up and prepare to go to bed early.
While she was half asleep, she seemed to hear the doorknob ring, the door opened, and a tall man walked to the bed.
My lips were touched lightly, with a hint of night coolness.
"Cen Xihuai?" Xu Qingwu struggled to open her eyes. "You're back?"
Cen Xihuai hummed, lowered his head and captured her soft lips again. Xu Qingwu put her arms around his neck and responded dazedly.
Her body was warm and soft, and she was feeling comfortable. Suddenly, the man pulled her hand down, put it under the quilt, covered her with the quilt, and said gently, "Go back to sleep."
Xu Qingwu: “?”
Just sleeping?
Did she misunderstand?
Or did he just come back from a business trip and is too tired to do it?
