Chapter 76 Baby
Xu Qingwu didn't know how to explain her sudden action.
But at that moment, she really wanted to kiss him, to be closer to him, and to express her gratitude and joy to him clumsily.
The atmosphere in the solemn and silent study suddenly became ambiguous and beautiful.
"Um...I'm going to take a shower first..."
Xu Qingwu turned around and tried to leave, but her snow-white, slender wrist was grabbed by Cen Xihuai. He gently exerted force and pulled her to sit on his lap.
The tight and powerful thigh muscles and the man's high temperature were transmitted to her through the thin fabric between them. Xu Qingwu breathed slowly.
It was so strange. They had been countless times closer than this moment, even at a negative distance, but now she was sitting on his lap.
She couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to escape.
"Let's go later." Cen Xihuai rested his head on her neck, greedily absorbing the faint rose scent from her body. "You have been with Mao and Cen Yue for so long, honey, please stay with me too."
When he mentioned it, Xu Qingwu realized that her mind was full of cats this week, and she seemed to have really ignored Cen Xihuai's existence.
"I'm sorry, have I neglected you?"
"Yeah." Cen Xihuai really wanted to say magnanimously that it was okay, but the words couldn't come out of his mouth. He couldn't say anything against his will.
"It's my problem. I promise I won't do it again."
"good."
There was a crash downstairs.
The ambiguous atmosphere instantly disappeared, and Xu Qingwu jumped up from him: "It seems that the vase is broken. I'll go down and take a look. Don't hurt the puppy!"
Cen Xihuai: "..."
Was Xu Qingwu’s assurance just now just hallucination?
The priceless vase was shattered all over the floor, and the culprit had been so frightened that he had no idea where to hide.
Xu Qingwu went to get some tools to clean up, to prevent the broken pieces from hurting people or cats. Cen Xihuai, who had come downstairs, took the broom and said, "I'll do it."
"good."
Xu Qingwu handed it to him, then looked all over the house for the cat, and finally saw the pair of round blue eyes under the sofa pillow.
"You're really naughty, baby, don't be afraid."
Cen Xihuai paused and looked at the cat in Xu Qingwu's arms, who had done something bad but was still called baby.
"Doesn't it have a name?" Why do we always call it baby?
Hearing Cen Xihuai's question, Xu Qingwu blinked: "Of course there is, it's called puppy."
Cen Xihuai was puzzled: "Why would a cat be called a puppy?"
Xu Qingwu couldn't help laughing. She had also asked Cen Yue this question.
"Because, this way we can have both cats and dogs."
“…”
On Friday morning, Xu Qingwu and Huang Yun were called into the office by their leader to inquire about the progress of cooperation with their respective companies.
Xu Qingwu has been in contact with the person in charge of the subsidiary this week. The person in charge always replied that they had to wait for the headquarters' OA process to be approved, and then someone from the headquarters would contact Xu Qingwu to continue the discussion. Huang Yun's side was smoother than hers, and she had already made an appointment to contact the person in charge next week.
Huang Yun said proudly, "Xu Lu, if you don't work harder, you'll lose to me!"
Xu Qingwu said calmly: "Do your best and leave the rest to fate."
She has tried her best here. If she loses time to Huang Yun due to approval, she can only blame her bad luck. Xu Qingwu did not continue to fight, but focused her energy on another acquisition project.
When she finished get off work, the yoga teacher contacted her and asked if it would be convenient for her to change the Sunday class to Saturday. Xu Qingwu naturally agreed since she didn't have to work overtime. The yoga teacher insisted on treating her to lunch on Saturday as an apology, and Xu Qingwu couldn't refuse.
This week she gave up cupcakes and milk tea, ate a light diet low in carbohydrates, exercised regularly in the morning, relaxed her mood and had a regular schedule. After a week, she actually lost two kilograms, and there is great hope that she can lose the weight before the wedding.
In the evening, Xu Qingwu and Cen Xihuai were having dinner together. She was talking to him about changing the yoga class to Saturday when the troublemaker in the house knocked her cell phone to the ground again.
When she picked it up, she saw that the screen was broken. She had just bought this phone not long ago.
Xu Qingwu said seriously, "What exactly do you want, baby? Why do you always do bad things?"
“Meow!”
A man and a cat were confronting each other. Xu Qingwu seemed to be scolding them, but he kept calling them "baby".
Overindulgence.
This little cat has been spoiled to the point of being lawless.
Cen Xihuai walked over, lifted the puppy's scruff with precise movements, and warned it sternly, "Just ask for what you want, and don't break anything again."
"aim…"
The cry became obviously less confident.
Xu Qingwu was afraid that it would be frightened and stressed, so she quickly rescued it from Cen Xihuai's hands and hugged it to comfort it: "It's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid, baby."
Cen Xihuai: "..."
Cen Xihuai grabbed the cat from her arms and threw it onto the sofa: "Come over to eat first, I'll buy you a new phone tomorrow."
Xu Qingwu calmed the cat down and returned to the dining table: "No need, I checked and it's just the screen that's broken. I can just go to a mobile phone store and get a replacement."
Just like last Sunday, after breakfast, Cen Xihuai walked Xu Qingwu to the yoga room and happened to run into Yu Qing.
Just to avoid the embarrassment of meeting Xu Qingwu, Yu Qing changed her classes to Saturday. Unexpectedly, she still met him, and what a coincidence that she met them together.
Just then, Yu Qing's friend greeted her. She took her friend's hand and passed by them, pretending not to see them.
The two met again unexpectedly in the fitting room.
Yu Qing took the initiative and said, "I know you have classes on Sunday, and since you don't want to see me, I'll move my classes to Saturday."
"My yoga teacher has something urgent to do."
"Well, you can't blame me then."
"I don't blame you." Xu Qingwu paused, "Ms. Yu, don't take what I said last time to heart. Just pretend that what happened before never happened."
Without waiting for Yu Qing to answer, Xu Qingwu walked out of the fitting room.
If there is no bad intention, then there is no guilt in liking someone.
She didn't need to be too harsh.
Yu Qing looked at Xu Qingwu's back as she walked away, and the feeling of shame surged up again. She should have let it go as early as when she learned that Cen Xihuai was married.
The stone that had been weighing on her heart seemed to break into powder and be blown away by the wind with Xu Qingwu's understanding, and her mood became cheerful.
The morning class ended half an hour early, and Xu Qingwu went to the mobile phone store across the street to pick up his phone to replace the screen.
When Yu Qing was leaving class, she happened to see a figure from behind, which was very similar to the private clothes Xu Qingwu wore in the morning. She still avoided it out of habit.
Turned around and chose the elevator opposite.
Suddenly, there was a movement in the elevator behind me. A maintenance man hurried over and was talking on the phone.
Yu Qing's ears caught two words: failure.
She turned around in shock and saw that the elevator she had just avoided was reporting an error message, and the garbled red font was very glaring.
Xu Qingwu is still trapped inside!
She quickly told the maintenance worker, "There's someone in this elevator!"
"How many?"
"It's time for get out of class to end, and there are seven or eight people here."
"Okay, I'll rescue you as soon as possible."
The maintenance personnel began to work, and the cries for help from the trapped people and the beeping of the elevator were terrifying.
Yu Qing looked pale. She took out her cell phone and called Cen Xihuai.
However, the screen display has been blacked out.
She had no choice but to call Chi Chu to inform him about this and ask Chi Chu to notify Cen Xihuai.
Xu Qingwu had an appointment with her yoga teacher to have lunch at noon today. When Cen Xihuai received Chi Chu's call, he was in an overseas meeting. The pen in his hand fell on the document, leaving a large ink stain.
Many executives looked at their boss, who was usually calm and composed and remained expressionless even when talking about a business worth hundreds of millions. Their faces suddenly changed, and they got up and left quickly without even having time to stop the meeting.
Cen Xihuai called Xu Qingwu.
However, the phone indicated that it was turned off.
