Chapter 65: What’s wrong with making your wife happy?
Xu Qingwu picked up the water on the table and took a sip, trying to calm herself down.
"Why did you do this? If people knew about this, they would think you were unreliable..."
"What's wrong with me trying to make my wife happy?"
Xu Qingwu's ears turned red: "It's a pity that Chen Ke still trusts you so much."
Cen Xihuai didn't care: "She should also see the dangers of the world."
Xu Qingwu supported her chin with both hands and looked at Cen Xihuai carefully. Only today did she realize that her husband, who was married through arranged marriage, was very different from the legend.
The outside world said that he was a beautiful and charming flower on the mountain top, and even Cen Yue said that he was a cold-blooded and ruthless robot who only cared about work. But after getting along with him for the past two months, Xu Qingwu felt that he was quite good, and today she even felt that he seemed a little sinister.
Seeing Cen Xihuai looking over, Xu Qingwu touched her cheek unnaturally and changed the subject: "If I had known earlier, I would have gambled with Chen Ke and made some money."
Cen Xihuai: "You don't want to gamble, because you think you can't win?"
"My card skills and luck are average. I just played a round with her to get her off my back, so I didn't think about gambling. I'd be heartbroken to lose the money I worked so hard to earn."
"Even if you know I'm the one dealing the cards?"
"I didn't expect you to help me."
Cen Xihuai put the menu down and glared at her: "How could I let you lose?"
If he wants her to win, she will definitely win.
Xu Qingwu smiled and said, "Is this Mrs. Cen's privilege?"
Cen Xihuai hummed and pushed the menu over, "See if there's anything else you want to eat."
After hearing what Cen Xihuai said, Xu Qingwu realized that Cen Xihuai was not cheating for her, but for Mrs. Cen. It was embarrassing for him to bring shame to his wife who was in an arranged marriage.
So actually, she would win this game from the beginning.
Because Mrs. Cen can't lose.
Her heart, which had been pounding when she learned that he had cheated for her, slowly calmed down.
Xu Qingwu flipped through the menu and ordered some dishes at random.
Cen Xihuai called the waiter in to take our order. After the waiter left, there were only two people left in the room.
Xu Qingwu lowered his head to play with his cell phone.
Everything that happened here today was reported to Cen Yue and Xia Xiaoxiao.
Cen Yue: "My baby Qingwu was almost bullied!"
Xia Xiaoxiao: "The guy across from me at our exchange meeting doesn't understand anything I'm saying. I'm going crazy (crazy) (crazy) (crazy)"
Xia Xiaoxiao: "I heard you caught a royal flush. How much did you win?"
Xu Qingwu: “0”
Xia Xiaoxiao: “?”
Cen Yue: “?”
Xu Qingwu: "I thought I would lose, so I didn't gamble."
Cen Yue: "Hell, she's never won five dollars on a scratch-off lottery, and the chips there start at ten thousand. It's a wonder she knows how to gamble."
Xia Xiaoxiao: "Yeah, it's a shame we weren't there to witness your deification moment, dog throwing bowl.gif"
Xu Qingwu: "Pet the dog's head.gif"
The dishes came up one after another. Seeing that she was playing with her mobile phone happily, Cen Xihuai reminded her.
"Eat first?"
"Oh well."
Xu Qingwu habitually put away her cell phone. Since she had dinner with Cen Xihuai, she had changed her bad habit of playing with her cell phone while eating.
The two of them finished their meal quietly. When dessert was served, Cen Xihuai asked her, "Have you chosen the bridesmaid?"
"Hmm?" Xu Qingwu paused his spoon in mid-air.
"Mom said we need to decide on the number of people. Once you decide, I'll help you choose the best men."
"oh."
Xu Qingwu almost forgot that her wedding with Cen Xihuai would be held in a month and a half.
She didn't have many close friends, so normally it wouldn't have had much of an impact, but now she was a little worried: "Are two enough?"
"Mom said even numbers are fine."
"Then I'll order two."
"good."
If Cen Yue is not married, that would be perfect. Now the bridesmaid must be unmarried. In addition to Xia Xiaoxiao, Xu Qingwu has to choose another one.
Just when she was worrying, Shen Qian called and said that Shen Ze asked her to be her bridesmaid and asked Xu Qingwu if she wanted to.
Xu Qingwu was skeptical: "Bridesmaids are very hard-working, are you sure?"
Shen Qian snorted: "Who are you looking down on? Just tell me whether you want it or not. If you don't want it, forget it."
"Yes, it's my honor that Princess Shen condescends to be my bridesmaid."
"It's none of your business. Brother Ze said he would buy me Chanel, hahaha."
"You sold yourself for just a bag?"
"I can't help it. My dad has banned me."
“…”
Anyway, the bridesmaid thing was finally settled.
The resort also has a natural hot spring. After resting for a while after dinner, Xu Qingwu soaked in the private hot spring for nearly an hour.
All the fatigue in her body faded away, she changed her clothes and went out to call Cen Xihuai.
She didn't expect that Cen Xihuai was on the balcony of the room, enjoying the evening breeze and reading a book in his hand.
"Didn't Dr. Xie ask you to play cards?"
"Too noisy."
Cen Xihuai closed the book, and Xu Qingwu glanced at the title, "The Wealth of Nations", which was the original English version.
Xu Qingwu really admired him. While there was singing and dancing downstairs, he actually had the leisure to read a book here. What kind of concentration did he have?
"Is the hot spring comfortable?"
"It's quite comfortable. We can go together next time." Xu Qingwu blurted out, and then became a little embarrassed. "Sorry, I forgot you said you weren't used to it."
Cen Xihuai did not refuse: "I can try it if I have the chance."
They have to go to work tomorrow, and this place is too far from the city. Xu Qingwu doesn't want to get up early, so the two decided to go back tonight.
When Xie Yushen learned that Cen Xihuai was leaving, he personally sent them to the gate and warmly invited them to stay longer next time.
on Monday.
Xu Qingwu just got the coffee when she met Yang Yu, who told her a rumor she heard that the team leader was going to resign and go home to take care of the baby because she was pregnant.
Sure enough, this matter was mentioned at the meeting, and leader Zhang Yuan asked Xu Qingwu and Huang Yun to stay.
"The new team leader will be chosen from between the two of you. Not only is project handling ability important, but revenue generation is also a key assessment indicator. The law firm recently has two potential partners. You'll draw lots. Whoever signs the contract first will be the team leader."
Xu Qingwu and Huang Yun each drew a card, and Xu Qingwu drew a subsidiary of a new energy vehicle company.
After the meeting, Huang Yun waved the card in his hand at her: "Fair competition?"
Xu Qingwu nodded: "Of course."
At the same time, a new project was assigned to her. Unexpectedly, the timing was so coincidental that she started to get busy just before the wedding.
Fortunately, Cen Xihuai understood this and took the initiative to prepare the invitation letter. She only needed to provide the list of people who needed to be invited.
In the following week, apart from spending time sleeping together, Xu Qingwu didn't even have time to eat breakfast slowly. He just took a simple piece of bread and milk to eat on the way and went to work at the company early.
On Saturday, she worked overtime alone at the law firm.
When she was about to order takeout at noon, she received a call from Cen Xihuai, saying that he was waiting for her downstairs.
Xu Qingwu saw the familiar low-key Maybach opposite the company.
She ran downstairs.
In the elevator, I adjusted my messy hair in the reflected light, walked out of the office building and crossed the street.
Cen Xihuai drove the car himself, and Xu Qingwu sat in the passenger seat.
"Why are you here?"
"I'm bringing you lunch." Cen Xihuai took the packed lunch box from the back seat. "You've been too busy lately. Mother Yang is worried that you haven't eaten well."
"Yang Ma is so nice. I was just worried about what takeout to order."
Cen Xihuai raised his eyebrows slightly: "Only Yang Ma is good?"
