Chapter 73 I'll tear him apart
Wen Shuang rushed back to the company as soon as she finished filming the advertisement, just as Xuanzhe's meeting was over.
On the way to Ran's house, Wen Shuang felt embarrassed to go home empty-handed, so she asked Xuan Zhe to go to a shopping mall and buy a hat for Ran Yao and a set of tea sets for Ran's father. The prices were not cheap and she spent 70,000 or 80,000 yuan in an instant.
Seeing Little Quail pocketing his bank card and holding the gift with a happy face, Xuanzhe joked: "You don't want my money, how long will it take to save enough for the betrothal gift if you keep spending it this way?"
Wen Shuang knew he was joking and continued, "It's almost there! I will definitely let you marry into our Wen family with great fanfare."
The result of her quick tongue was that she was pressed down and kissed for ten minutes after getting in the car. After the car started, Wen Shuang rubbed her lips with a sad face and said vaguely, "Be gentle."
By the time he arrived at the Ran family, the redness and swelling on his lips had only subsided a little, and it was very noticeable at a glance.
"What's wrong?" Ran Yao was waiting at the door. When she saw Wen Shuang, she asked anxiously, "Are you getting angry?"
"Yeah." Wen Shuang responded quickly.
Ran Yao quickly asked the servant to make some heat-clearing and detoxifying scented tea, and placed the tea set for Ran's father on the table. She put on her hat and admired herself in front of the mirror for a long time. "Don't mention it, every time Xiao Shuang gives me something, it's exactly what I want."
Father Ran came down from upstairs and first scalded the new tea set with hot water. He was an expert and knew it was a good thing after one try. Of course, this was not what he was most anxious about. Dinner was not ready yet, and Father Ran was itching to cook two plates, so he immediately pulled Wen Shuang to go and serve.
The second round had just ended when the meal was served. There was the big pork elbow, Wen Shuang's favorite. He used to eat only in front of acquaintances and was not so particular about food, but now he felt very comfortable in the Ran family. Ran's father was very satisfied with this "granddaughter-in-law". Knowing that he liked seafood, he specially asked someone to prepare two plates. "That crab is very fat. When you open it, it's all crab roe. Try it."
"Yeah." Wen Shuang lowered her head and ate seriously.
Ran's father was discussing some business matters with Xuanzhe. Wen Shuang vaguely heard Tang Wansu's name, and she probably thought that Tang Weisheng's uncle had upset Ran's father again. Xuanzhe continued, "It's okay. I'm going on a business trip to S City in a couple of days and will take care of it for you."
Father Ran finally felt relieved.
The two did not reject Ran Yao tonight, but stayed at Ran's house. The room had been cleaned up early. Wen Shuang was taking a shower. Xuan Zhe was so impatient that he couldn't wait and went to the next room to take a quick shower. When he came back, Wen Shuang just came out of the bathroom. Xuan Zhe patiently blew his hair dry, and then held him down without saying a word.
"Tell me, you..." Wen Shuang panted softly, "If I had known you were going to do this, I wouldn't have taken a shower. I'll have to do it all over again later."
Xuanzhe easily picked the person up and put him in his arms, then talked about another matter: "I'm going on a business trip the day after tomorrow, you come with me."
Wen Shuang reviewed her timeline and shook her head. "I can't go. I have two endorsement collaborations to shoot, and I keep putting it off. I heard from Sister Zhu that the person in charge is almost begging me. So, how many days will you be away for?"
"About three days."
Wen Shuang thought about it and felt that three days had passed in a flash. She didn't care at all: "Okay, okay, go ahead."
Xuanzhe raised his eyebrows: "Really?"
Wen Shuang said confidently: "Really."
Xuanzhe had to catch an 8 a.m. flight on the day of his business trip, so he was already dressed at 6 a.m. Wen Shuang was still sleeping in bed. It seemed to be a cloudy day today, with the dim sky wrapped in an increasingly biting autumn wind, and it looked like it was going to rain.
Although Wen Shuang was asleep, she still managed to pay attention to the movements outside. Xuan Zhe was washing, changing clothes, and putting on his watch... Until the man stopped by the bed, Wen Shuang hummed softly and stretched out a hand from under the quilt, and the next second it was held.
"I'm leaving. My schedule is tight, so I'll be slow to reply to calls and text messages, but I'll read all your messages." Xuan Zhe spoke, his voice low and gentle enough to make people drowsy. He placed a kiss on Wen Shuang's forehead and stood there quietly for a few minutes until his phone vibrated. It must be Cao Nanyu driving over.
Wen Shuang didn't feel anything when they parted, but when she was fully awake and stood up looking at the empty room, she suddenly realized that something was missing somewhere in her heart.
He avoided this discomfort, secretly scolding himself for being pretentious. After washing up, he came out and saw Xuanzhe's message as soon as he picked up his phone. The man had just arrived in S City and reported to him that he was safe. Wen Shuang asked him if he had eaten breakfast, but he didn't reply until he was dressed. It seemed that he was really busy.
Wen Shuang was shooting two commercials today. Yang Lian had to say that without a man in her mind, her work was naturally stable. Without President Xuan's "interruptions," Wen Shuang's work efficiency was incredibly high. Normally, she would chat with President Xuan whenever she had a free moment, even spending hours discussing what to have for dinner. But today, she remained silent. The lunch box her partner sent her at noon had very little meat, but Wen Shuang ate it silently... Wait! Yang Lian realized something was wrong. Wen Shuang's appetite simply didn't meet his daily needs!
Wen Shuang was indeed not hungry. He hadn't heard from Xuan Zhe all day. Whenever he had free time, he couldn't help but wonder what the man was doing. He picked up his phone again and checked, but there was still no message.
"Are you tired?" Yang Lian was worried, "I can push it again..."
"No need." Wen Shuang interrupted softly. There was nothing to do when she got back anyway, so it would be good to concentrate on work.
He was busy like a top for the whole afternoon. The photographer he met was extremely picky. He changed the angle of the same action more than ten times. The temperature in the studio was high and Wen Shuang had no air conditioning. His cheeks soon became red with heat. He didn't say a word. Even Yang Lian was getting angry, but he still cooperated with his full cooperation.
"Okay, let's call it a day." The photographer nodded with satisfaction.
Yang Lian handed Wen Shuang a wet towel and asked, "How do you feel?"
"It's okay." Wen Shuang turned on the screen of her mobile phone while wiping it, but it was still empty.
"I'll take you home," Yang Lian asked tentatively.
Wen Shuang was about to nod, but changed his mind at the last minute. Qing Zhou Villa was incredibly large, and going back there would be boring and empty, so he said, "Wait a minute," and sent a message to Tan Li: [Are you having fun?]
Ever since the "cross-dressing" incident, Tan Li had been particularly obedient to Wen Shuang. When he received the news, he had a date that night, but he turned it down without a second thought. [Why, President Xuan, you're not worried about me hanging out alone?]
Wen Shuang: [He is away on a business trip.]
Tan Li suddenly realized something and gave Wen Shuang an address, which was a Qing bar.
Yang Lian was frightened at the sight, "Don't drink, otherwise if President Xuan finds out, none of us will be able to explain."
"If you don't want to drink, just go out and have fun." Wen Shuang can't drink much, and he still has a severe hangover.
Yang Lian knew Wen Shuang's temper well, and only after getting a positive answer did he pull him to the destination. The entrance was decorated in a simple and elegant style, and it didn't look messy. The owner of this bar was a friend of Tan Li, and he did a good job of protecting privacy. Yang Lian saw that Wen Shuang had no intention of letting him accompany him, so he drove away after he saw him go in.
"Here!" There were not many people in the bar at this time. Tan Li was sitting face to face with a man, and there was a woman beside him. When she saw Wen Shuang, she immediately stood up and waved to her.
The man is naturally the boss here, and the woman is Lin Nuan.
Wen Shuang: "Hey!"
Lin Nuan: “Hey!”
The boss looked at Wen Shuang with an unclear expression, then smiled and said, "Is this a new way of greeting?"
"Get lost." Tan Li saw what the other party meant and said in a cold tone, "Stop messing around. Make room for us quickly, or else if too many people come, I'll be on the hot search again."
The boss knew Wen Shuang was untouchable when he heard this. He was a smart man. Although he was unwilling, he didn't have the habit of pestering her. He felt that this young man was not only familiar, but also completely in line with his aesthetic taste. "Okay, wait a moment."
Ten minutes later, the three of them entered the best private room here, on the second floor, with huge floor-to-ceiling windows. When the demons were dancing and gold paper was flying everywhere below at night, they could see everything clearly from here.
Lin Nuan has been very close to Tan Li recently. Both of them have some intricate connection with Tan Tianhe. Wen Shuang can guess what their intentions are.
"If President Xuan knew that you would be so devastated without him, he would laugh out loud in his dreams." Tan Li joked.
Wen Shuang said stubbornly: "No way."
"Really." Lin Nuan said sincerely, "I feel like you can't even stand up anymore."
Wen Shuang was happy: "I am usually aggressive and aggressive"
Lin Nuan corrected her: "No, it's very energetic and cute."
There were several barbecue restaurants surrounding the bar. Normally, Wen Shuang would have ordered all the signature dishes from each restaurant, but today he wasn't in the mood. When Tan Li listed the dishes, he didn't seem to be interested and just nodded. Tan Li and Lin Nuan exchanged glances, both feeling a little helpless. Although President Xuan wasn't here, they still had plenty of dog food.
Tan Li ordered a plate of grilled oysters. Wen Shuang rarely took a look at it and showed no intention of eating it.
Lin Nuan sipped her saliva, wrapped the fan and stuffed it into her mouth while it was still hot. Tan Li watched her inhale it like a storm and quickly grabbed two of them: "No, female artists all have to diet to maintain their figure. How can you eat something so high in carbohydrates?"
"I can't gain weight." Lin Nuan smiled complacently, "It's rare that I've had a good appetite lately."
"Because of Zhong Ming," Wen Shuang suddenly asked.
Lin Nuan immediately choked and coughed.
Tan Li was a little surprised: "How did you know?"
"A couple of days ago, a rumor broke out about Lin Nuan having a secret meeting with a man. I didn't take it seriously at first, but then I accidentally caught a glimpse of the photo, and the figure from behind looked exactly like Gou Brother."
Lin Nuan was unhappy, "Don't call me brother, brother, I have a name."
Tan Li smiled and said, "Did you hear that? I have a name!"
Lin Nuan blushed slightly: "Oh~"
Wen Shuang: "..." So now that Xuanzhe is not here, everyone can abuse the dog?
Wen Shuang was a little "petty-minded" and instinctively linked everything to Xuan Zhe. However, it was a very magical feeling, as if the ceiling of this world was not around her, and her sense of security suddenly decreased by half.
The three of them chatted casually until Lin Nuan's phone rang. She must have been afraid of being discovered, so the note was a "Z". Needless to say, it was Zhong Ming. Lin Nuan's hands were greasy, and Tan Li quickly helped her press the answer button and considerately pressed the speakerphone button.
Lin Nuan looked coquettish, but she didn't press it back immediately. It seemed that she also wanted to share it with her friends.
"Hello," Zhong Ming's voice sounded pleasant through the microphone: "Have you eaten?"
Lin Nuan cleared her throat and said, "We're having a barbecue."
"Where are you?" Zhong Ming heard Lin Nuan give an address and his tone suddenly tightened: "What are you doing there, a girl?"
"I was with Tan Li and Wen Shuang." Lin Nuan quickly explained, "We didn't drink!"
Wen Shuang gestured towards Tan Li and said in a loud voice, "Come on, bring the wine!"
Zhong Ming paused, then continued, "They drink their own drinks, you don't drink. Wen Shuang will be dealt with by President Xuan, and Tan Li, an old bachelor, doesn't know why he's joining in the fun. I'll be right over."
The guy who was just so contented suddenly jumped up and said, "You say that again, you bastard!"
Lin Nuan hung up the phone and laughed at Tan Li.
Tan Li saw Zhong Ming as soon as he appeared. He was about to make a joke when he suddenly frowned and said in a surprised voice: "What is Lu Li doing here?"
What else can he do? At first, Lu Li looked down on the energy that Zhong Ming fed back to the system, but now the great fortune of this world suddenly did not obey him. He could only start from scratch and think about recruiting Zhong Ming again. After all, the other party was a big shot.
The first person to sound the alarm was Lin Nuan, not Wen Shuang. With a sullen face, she walked to the window and saw Lu Li, who looked troubled and pitiful. He was talking to Zhong Ming when he suddenly blurted out three words: "Fox spirit!"
Wen Shuang: “…”
Tan Li: “…”
Seeing Lin Nuan tied up her hair, Tan Li asked weakly: "What are you doing?"
Lin Nuan said succinctly, "I'm going to tear him apart! He's been using Zhong Ming all this time, and now he dares to do it!"
Wen Shuang and Tan Li looked at each other, grabbed a handful of salted peanuts at the same time, and hurriedly followed behind.
