Chapter 83 Don’t Covet My Wife
Xu Qingwu knew that Cen Xihuai was talking about the marriage examination.
The feeling of social doom that she had finally put deep in her memory and tried hard to forget came back to her mind again.
Seeing that she didn't move, Cen Xihuai reminded her in a deep voice: "Wife, there is not enough time."
Xu Qingwu's face was as red as a bitten peach, with a hint of pink in the white.
She glared at him coquettishly.
We really should call those people down there to take a look. They've been spreading rumors that this guy isn't interested in women. How can he not be interested in women? He has such a big reaction to applying some medicine. He's definitely very interested in women!
Twenty minutes later, Xu Qingwu felt her hands were about to break. She felt embarrassed and angry: "Cen Xihuai, can you please hurry up?"
"Sorry, I'm trying too."
“…”
He lowered his voice and said, "Call me."
"Cen Xihuai?"
"Call me something else."
"What..." Xu Qingwu called him reluctantly, "Husband..."
…
I washed my hands with soap three times and my palms turned red.
Feeling so embarrassed that she almost died, Xu Qingwu didn't even want to go out.
"Qingwu, are you not ready yet?" Cen Xihuai knocked on the bathroom door outside.
Xu Qingwu walked out with her head down, unwilling to face him.
But his hand was suddenly grabbed by him.
Xu Qingwu shuddered as if she had received an electric shock, her eyes filled with surprise: "What are you going to do now?!"
"Honey, don't think so badly of me."
“…”
And you still feel sorry for him, even though he is the worst one!
He picked up the ring finger of her left hand. Xu Qingwu felt the touch of metal at her fingertips and lowered her head.
The pink diamond previously valued at $200 million has been cut and put into a setting to make a wedding ring.
"The ring is beautiful." Cen Xihuai paused and added, "The hand is beautiful too."
"You don't need to use the last sentence!" Xu Qingwu didn't even want to hear the word 'hand' now.
Cen Xihuai smiled lightly, as if he couldn't do anything to her.
Xu Qingwu carefully looked at the ring in her hand. It was the size of a pigeon egg, with a pure texture and extremely bright fire.
"Shall we go buy a pair of plain rings some other time?"
Cen Xihuai frowned: "You don't like this?"
"I like it! But I feel it's easy to lose it when I wear it, and it's too conspicuous."
Cen Xihuai finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Let's go buy it together when I come back."
"Okay~"
After all the trouble, there was not much time left before Cen Xihuai set off.
He bent his arm and motioned Xu Qingwu to hold it.
"Show up together?"
"Don't you dislike occasions like this?"
"It's different after getting married. I don't have the habit of hiding behind my wife."
Accompanying her to avoid speculation from those with ulterior motives can also be considered a way to strengthen the marriage.
Xu Qingwu took his arm and they went downstairs together.
Downstairs, Cen Yu had already changed into a new dress and was giving a speech on the stage. She almost got stuck when she saw Cen Xihuai and Xu Qingwu coming hand in hand. Fortunately, she was experienced in handling situations and ended her speech humorously and concisely.
Everyone's eyes automatically fell on Cen Xihuai and Xu Qingwu, with different expressions.
The man in a suit and tie looked cold and solemn, while the woman in a long skirt looked gentle and elegant, making them a perfect match.
Cen Xihuai actually showed up at such an event. Was it to support his sister? Or was it to support his new wife?
No one knew his true intentions. At this moment, everyone had only one thought, which was not to upset Xu Qingwu. After all, no one wanted to offend Cen Xihuai.
Cen Yu walked towards them and said to Cen Xihuai in a sarcastic tone, "Hey, what brings Mr. Cen here?"
Cen Xihuai reminded her: "I was the one who sent you the dress."
"I asked the housekeeper and he said it was you who rushed to come. If you want to accompany your wife, just say so directly. Don't use me as an excuse."
"The ring is ready, send it to her."
Only then did Cen Yu see the ring on Xu Qingwu's hand and praised: "It's beautiful, it suits you very well."
Xu Qingwu was a little embarrassed: "Thank you, sister."
"Take care of her. I'm leaving."
"Just leave?"
"On business trip."
With Cen Xihuai accompanying her, Xu Qingwu naturally became a popular figure and didn't need anyone to take care of her. After Cen Yu told Xu Qingwu to call her if she had any problems, she went away.
As soon as Cen Xihuai left, someone came to talk to Xu Qingwu, praising her ring and her good relationship with Cen Xihuai. This enthusiasm was completely different from her previous attitude.
In the distance, Wen Jiajia stared at Xu Qingwu who was surrounded by the crowd, her eyes full of jealousy.
Xia Xiaoxiao and Shen Qian searched for Xu Qingwu for a long time, but she went to meet her husband. They pushed through the crowd and rescued Xu Qingwu.
Shen Qian looked at her pink diamond eagerly, her tone sour: "This ring is really beautiful, Xu Qingwu, you must be so proud!"
Xu Qingwu smiled: "A little bit."
"You're so annoying!"
Xia Xiaoxiao, who was standing by, noticed the blind spot and said quietly, "Qingwu, did you and your husband just do something bad?"
Thinking of what happened on the top floor, Xu Qingwu's palms felt hot. She hurriedly denied it: "Ah? What nonsense are you talking about? I didn't do that!"
Xia Xiaoxiao sneered: "Look at how guilty you are. How long have you been kissing me? You've kissed away all your lipstick."
Cen Xihuai had wiped off her lipstick earlier and she forgot to put it back on.
Looking down at her still red palms, she was actually glad that she was only discovered kissing behind people, and not anything else.
Pei Su, who had been socializing in the backstage for a while after walking the red carpet, also saw the two of them attending this scene hand in hand, and curiously asked his friends in the circle.
"Who are those two?"
"Editor-in-Chief Cen's younger brother, the person in charge of the Cen Group, and next to him is his wife, the Shen family, all of whom are bigwigs we cannot afford to offend."
He thought he had offended...
Thinking of the warning look that Cen Xihuai had given him earlier, Pei Su felt hopeless. He was finished.
I heard that the wealthy circles are very dirty and the powerful can kill them with just a little finger.
The shadow of fear of retaliation lingered in his heart, until a famous director came over to toast him and invited him to participate in the filming of a new drama, and Pei Su's fear was rekindled.
"Why did you choose me?"
"The investor said it's a thank you gift to you."
Thank you gift?
Pei Su was puzzled: "May I ask who the investor is?"
"Mr. Cen."
This director never looks at qualifications or awards, and he chooses castings based entirely on his preferences. The best actor may not make it past the preliminary round, and a newcomer may become his leading actor. In short, he does whatever he wants.
Pei Su was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly. He had already prepared himself to be banned and was even thinking about whether he should sell more autographed photos tonight to make up for his losses. He didn't expect that the boss was so broad-minded and would give him such a good opportunity.
"Let's add each other's contact information. I'll send you a digital copy of the script first. We'll discuss the itinerary tomorrow and then give you the paper copy."
"no problem."
The two added each other on WeChat, and Pei Su received the electronic script.
He couldn't wait to click on it, and it turned out to be a suspense film called: "Don't Covet My Wife".
Pei Su's smile froze on his lips: "......"
