Chapter 150 Wen Ci is jealous
After lunch break, when filming started in the afternoon, Xie Peizhou left in a hurry.
Maybe it was because of the medicine, Wen Ci felt much better in the afternoon, her stomachache was gone, and she devoted herself to her work wholeheartedly.
It wasn't until eight o'clock in the evening that I finished work and received a message from Xie Peizhou on my phone with a not-so-stable signal: "I've arrived in Beijing."
Wen Ci looked at her phone, feeling as if someone had gently pinched her heart.
In her mind, she couldn't help but think of Xie Peizhou driving four hours along the rugged mountain road to the crew, giving her brown sugar water and ibuprofen, accompanying her for a half-hour nap, driving another four hours along the rugged mountain road back to the town, then taking the high-speed rail directly to the provincial capital, and then flying back to Beijing.
Wen Ci replied: [Okay, I understand. Thank you for today.]
Xie Peizhou: [Does your stomach still hurt?]
Wen Ci: [It doesn't hurt anymore.]
Xie Peizhou: [What time do you go to bed at night?]
Wen Ci: [About nine or ten o'clock... I have to get up early to shoot tomorrow, what's up?]
Xie Peizhou: [I wanted to make an excuse and say my daughter missed me so I could video chat with you, but I couldn't get home until 9:00.]
Xie Peizhou: [Can we have a video chat? I miss you a little.]
Wen Ci's face felt hot.
Didn’t we just see each other this afternoon?
She looked at the unstable signal in the upper left corner of her phone and typed a reply: [Bad signal…]
But before the message was sent, Xie Peizhou's video popped up.
Wen Ci subconsciously scratched her hair twice, thought about it, and answered the video.
Unfortunately, the signal in the mountains is so poor that the phone screen is stuck in pixels and I can’t even see people’s faces.
The two of them chatted for a while without any connection to the subject.
Wen Ci hung up the phone and took the initiative to explain: "The signal is really too bad. I only have about five days left to finish filming."
Xie Peizhou: [Okay, then I'll wait for you to come back.]
Wen Ci looked at the message and pursed her lips, feeling that the way they were getting along seemed to be becoming more and more ambiguous.
Xie Peizhou would message him almost every day to report his itinerary, and sometimes he would send messages like "I miss you" or "I miss you so much".
She still has a blank memory of what happened before the accident.
Wen Ci was a little confused. Are she and Xie Peizhou still a couple?
-
Five days later, when the last take was shot, the entire crew was jubilant!
After the filming was completed, the crew took three days off. The subsequent filming was basically carried out in Hengdian, which was a lot more relaxing.
The plane arrived at Beijing Airport. Wen Ci, wearing sunglasses, was pushing her suitcase and hadn't even walked out of the airport gate when she saw Xie Yiyi waving at her excitedly from afar, "Xiao Ci, Xiao Ci, this way!"
Hearing the sound, Wen Ci strode over pushing her suitcase.
"Xiaoci, I miss you so much!"
Xie Yiyi gave Wen Ci a big hug.
"I miss you."
Wen Ci smiled sweetly and responded to her enthusiastically.
Although she has no memories of the past, Xie Yiyi is a person with a good personality and loves her very much, and Wen Ci does not reject her enthusiasm.
"Xiaoci, welcome back."
Lu Bingchen stood next to Xie Yiyi, wearing a white shirt and light-colored casual pants, with thick and fluffy black hair, handsome facial features, and a shining wedding ring on his left ring finger, giving him the look of a real husband.
The man took the suitcase from Wen Ci's hand. His gentle black eyes glanced at Xie Yiyi, who was hanging around Wen Ci's neck. He pulled her back to his side and said with a thin smile, "Peizhou is really busy today, so Yiyi and I will pick you up at the airport."
"Yes, thank you."
Wen Ci nodded. Xie Peizhou had taken the initiative to send her a message to inform her that an uncle from a noble family had passed away and he wanted to go to pay his respects.
After leaving the airport, the three of them went directly to the restaurant.
The boxed lunches in the deep mountains and forests were so disgusting that Wen Ci stayed there for nearly half a month and probably lost four or five kilograms.
Right now, seeing delicious food is a hundred times more exciting than seeing a handsome man.
There was a small pot of rice, and each person got a bowl, which was immediately finished.
Wen Ci pressed the service bell and asked the waiter to bring another bucket of rice.
The waiter apologized, "Miss, because it's past dinner time, we steamed the rice first. The spare rice will take about ten minutes to cook. Could you wait a moment?"
Wen Ci replied, "Sure, I'll send it over when it's cooked."
"Okay." The waiter politely retreated.
While waiting for the meal to be cooked, Xie Yiyi and Lu Bingchen chatted with Wen Ci.
Xie Yiyi asked expectantly, "Xiaoci, have you thought of anything recently?"
Wen Ci shook her head and said, "I have no memory of what happened before I woke up in the hospital.
"Okay..." A hint of disappointment flashed across Xie Yiyi's eyes.
"Xiaoci," Lu Bingchen said politely as he refilled Wenci's glass of juice. He then asked tentatively, "What about your relationship with Peizhou? Do you still love Peizhou?"
Wen Ci's hand holding the juice cup froze for a moment. She didn't expect Lu Bingchen to suddenly ask about relationship issues.
He looked at Xie Yiyi, who had an expectant expression on his face.
Wen Ci opened her mouth, and the image of Xie Peizhou's calm, gentle, handsome face surfaced in her mind. She remembered him frying a delicious steak for her in the middle of the night, leaning against her back and teaching her how to cut it, texting her every day, "Good morning," "Good night," "Aci, I miss you so much," and personally driving her four hours along a rugged mountain road to bring her steaming hot brown sugar water and ibuprofen...
My heartbeat is like pearls that have broken off the string.
"I……"
Lu Bingchen suddenly sighed and interrupted her, "You can't remember anything before the car accident, and you've forgotten all your feelings for him, right?"
"Don't you like him anymore?"
"It's better to forget it. This way, Peizhou won't have to be in a dilemma and can marry Zhou Tianjiao."
"What marriage?"
Wen Ci's heart felt like being squeezed hard by someone, and her brain went blank for a moment. When she reacted, she had already asked Lu Bingchen about what he had said, her tone was urgent and concerned.
On the side, Xie Yiyi frowned and glanced at Lu Bingchen unhappily, "What nonsense are you talking about? When did my uncle agree to marry Zhou Tianjiao?!"
Lu Bingchen: "Before, he didn't agree because he and Xiaoci were truly in love. But now Xiaoci doesn't love him anymore. Your uncle and Zhou Tianjiao were betrothed by their elders since childhood. This was also Mr. Zhou's last wish. The marriage will bring huge benefits to the Xie Group. There is no reason for Peizhou to refuse, right?"
"Wen Ci won't be with him, and he hasn't let anyone down. Why wouldn't he want this pie in the sky? Maybe after marrying Zhou Tianjiao, they'll fall in love with each other."
"Of course," Lu Bingchen looked at Wen Ci with a smile, "Xiao Ci can start a new life now. She has forgotten everything anyway, so she won't be sad, and she doesn't love Peizhou anymore. Maybe she can meet a partner who is very compatible with her in the future."
"Ah... I can only say that Xiaoci and Peizhou are not destined to be together."
Lu Bingchen shook his head and sighed, looking regretful.
Under the table where Wen Ci couldn't see, he gently patted his wife's knees.
Xie Yiyi looked at him, and Lu Bingchen blinked at her.
At this moment, Lu Bingchen's cell phone vibrated.
Lu Bingchen picked up his phone, a smile on his lips, and handed it to Wen Ci, who was sitting diagonally across the square table. "Xiao Ci, let me show you. My friend happened to be at Mr. Zhou's funeral. This is the photo he just took. The one in the white dress is Zhou Tianjiao."
"Actually, she and Peizhou are quite a good match."
Wen Ci took Lu Bingchen's phone, and the photo should be taken in the mourning hall.
Xie Peizhou was dressed in a black suit, with a solemn expression. He held a silk handkerchief in his bony hands and handed it to Zhou Tianjiao opposite him.
As her name suggests, Zhou Tianjiao is beautiful and has a proud temperament.
The two of them standing together are as perfect as a golden boy and a jade girl.
Lu Bingchen spoke quietly, "Peizhou stayed with Zhou Tianjiao the entire day today. After Mr. Zhou is buried, I guess the marriage will be put on the agenda."
"Xiaoci, don't worry. Even if Peizhou and Zhou Tianjiao get married, they will definitely treat Nian Nian well. After all, Nian Nian is his biological daughter."
"Knock, knock, knock" There was a polite knock on the door of the box.
Xie Yiyi said, "Come in," and the waiter who had just left came in with a small pot of new rice. He served Wen Ci a bowl of steaming hot rice with a very good attitude, "Miss, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
After serving the food, the waiter left.
Lu Bingchen used his serving chopsticks to pick up a piece of fish in front of Wen Ci. "Xiao Ci, you didn't eat enough just now, did you? This braised carp is delicious, and this piece of meat has no bones."
Wen Ci took it on a small plate and said thank you.
I was very hungry just now, but I lost my appetite all of a sudden.
He ate for another half an hour, but Wen Ci only took a few bites of the rice he had just eaten, put down his chopsticks, and said he was full.
Lu Bingchen stood up to pay the bill.
Xie Yiyi also stood up and said, "I'm going to the bathroom. Xiaoci, are you coming with me?"
Wen Ci shook her head unhappily, "I'm not going."
"Then wait for me at the hotel entrance. I'll come find you after I use the restroom."
"Yeah, okay."
Wen Ci picked up her phone, stood up, and walked towards the hall under the guidance of the waiter.
"Miss, watch your step." Seeing that she was concentrating on the page on her phone, the waiter politely reminded her.
Wen Ci lowered her eyes to look at the steps on the ground, then her gaze returned to the WeChat screen on her phone.
Ever since Xie Peizhou informed her this morning that he was going to the Zhou family to pay his respects, he hadn't sent her any messages the entire morning.
Did he think she had lost her memory and her memory might never be restored, so he wanted to arrange a marriage?
On the other side of the corridor, Xie Yiyi looked at the treacherous smile on Lu Bingchen's face and felt a little worried. "You are too cruel. What if Xiaoci really doesn't like her uncle and believes what you said? Wouldn't her uncle have even less chance?"
Lu Bingchen put his arm around Xie Yiyi's slender waist, his voice lazy but full of confidence, "Wife, you have to believe me, I am a professional psychologist. Xiaoci has no feelings towards Peizhou, so how could she be so sad that she can't eat?"
"You're too harsh!"
"If we don't take some drastic measures, when will we be able to have our wedding?"
…
Wen Ci waited at the door for about five minutes, and then Lu Bingchen and Xie Yiyi came over together.
"Let's go."
The three of them went down the elevator to the parking lot.
Lu Bingchen drove Wen Ci back to Yu Shui Bay, and then the couple left.
Around five o'clock, the sound of car horns was heard in the yard.
Wen Ci subconsciously looked out the window and saw a black car parked in the yard. The man in the driver's seat came out. Just by looking at his back, Wen Ci could tell that it was not Xie Peizhou.
The driver opened the back door and Wen Niannian, wearing a red school uniform and carrying a small schoolbag, ran out happily, "Mommy, Mommy, are you back?"
Wen Ci went to meet her daughter, who came running in and hugged her tightly. "Mommy, I missed you so much!"
Wen Ci's mouth curled up, looking a little absent-minded, "I miss you too."
"Where's Daddy? Didn't Daddy pick you up?"
Wen Niannian lingered on Wen Ci for a while, then turned her little face around looking for Xie Peizhou.
Wen Ci's tone was low, and the corners of her mouth barely curved: "Niannian, your dad hasn't come back yet."
"Oh? What has he been busy with?"
"Well...it's important. Nian Nian, wait for him to come back and ask him."
Unfortunately, when Xie Peizhou got home, Wen Niannian had already taken a shower and gone to bed.
Late at night, Wen Ci was lying in the master bedroom on the second floor. She heard the sound of a car in the yard and subconsciously walked to the window to look at the yard.
Under the bright street lights in the yard, a man in a black suit bent down and got out from the driver's seat of a black Maybach. His tall figure was stretched out by the street lights to look tall and noble.
Xie Peizhou got out of the car, closed the door behind him, and looked up at the second floor.
Wen Ci's heart skipped a beat. When he looked up at her, she ran away from the window guiltily, quickly returned to the bed barefoot, wrapped herself in the quilt and pretended to be asleep.
After a while, the footsteps were getting closer.
The bedroom door was gently pushed open.
"Aci?"
At the bedroom door, Xie Peizhou pushed open the door. Under the warm light, the room was quiet.
The pink quilt on the bed was bulging a little, and a strand of Wen Ci's black hair could be vaguely seen sticking out from the pillow.
Xie Peizhou's heart softened, and most of the fatigue of the day seemed to have suddenly disappeared.
He rubbed his temples and reached out to loosen his tie. The person he hadn't seen for many days was right in front of him. The man couldn't wait to go up to her, see her, and kiss her.
As soon as his thin lips touched Wen Ci's fair forehead, Wen Ci, who was "sleeping soundly", suddenly opened her eyes.
Xie Peizhou was stunned for a moment, "Aci, did I wake you up?"
"What's that smell on you?" Wen Ci pushed him away, breathing slightly slower.
On ordinary days, Xie Peizhou only had a faint scent of cedar on his body, but today, the strong smell of women's perfume completely covered up the cedar scent on his body.
Xie Peizhou lowered his head and smelled it. The fragrance was a bit pungent. Just as he was about to explain, the phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated.
"Zhou Tianjiao".
"Aci, I have to take a call first."
Xie Peizhou answered the phone while walking out of the bedroom.
When Mr. Zhou passed away, he divided his shares among his three children before his death. However, people are biased after all, and he gave more shares and assets to his youngest daughter Zhou Tianjiao.
Children of the upper class, especially those with half-siblings, are often filial to their parents in front of the house and have no contact with their parents outside the house.
Zhou Tianjiao knew that he could not defeat his two brothers and could not keep his shares, so he secretly entered into a business cooperation with Xie Peizhou.
Even if he had to give up a lot of profits to Xie Peizhou, it was better than having all his shares divided up by his two brothers.
After Xie Peizhou finished the call and returned to the bedroom, Wen Ci had already sat up and seemed to have something to say to him.
"You and Zhou Tianjiao had a childhood engagement?"
Xie Peizhou was stunned, a hint of surprise flashed across his black eyes, and he excitedly held her hand, "Aci, you remember?!"
Wen Ci's heart sank suddenly, and her hand, which was held by the man's big hand, curled up slightly.
My breathing was harsh and it felt like millions of ants were gnawing at my heart.
It seems that what Lu Bingchen said is true.
She looked at Xie Peizhou's excited black eyes, her throat sore as she spoke, "Xie Peizhou, if I remember you, will you not marry Zhou Tianjiao?"
