Chapter 69 Indulging Your Arrogance: "Will you do it yourself or should I help you?"...
Xie Qingci strolled around the Central area and bought two silk scarves for Liang Jingzhuo. He usually wears formal business attire, but she had seen him wear a silk scarf at a cocktail party in Jingzhao last time, which gave him a very refined look.
Although she knew he rarely attended casual banquets, she still felt he suited her well the moment she saw him, so she impulsively paid the bill, this time using her own card.
Time really does fly when you're wandering around. By the time I finished paying and left the store, it was almost 3:30.
Liang Jingzhuo's flight landed on Hong Kong Island at 3 PM. She took out her phone and glanced at it.
Sure enough, I sent her a message half an hour ago that I had landed.
She was torn between the colors of the scarf and the other color, one being calm and the other vibrant. She had never seen Liang Jingzhuo use accessories with vibrant colors before and was worried that he would be put off, but the other color combination was really eye-catching and sophisticated.
After much deliberation, she finally decided to have both.
Let him try it; whether he wears it or not is up to him.
Knowing that he would need to return to the company and report to the board of directors after landing, he should be on his way back to the company now.
I timed it and if there's no traffic, I'll arrive in about ten minutes.
She stood at the entrance of the mall and hesitated for a moment.
Should we pick him up from get off work?
Anyway, it's not far from here.
She pursed her lips and thought for a moment, then, as she walked out of the mall, she opened the input box and asked him: "Have you arrived at the company yet? I happen to be nearby."
The message was sent, but no reply was received immediately.
Xie Qingci stared at the screen at the entrance of the mall for a while, but Liang Jingzhuo's nickname did not change to "typing".
They might be busy.
Never mind then, she should just go home.
I had just turned off the screen and was about to walk back when my phone suddenly vibrated twice in my palm.
He stopped again and looked down.
Liang Jingzhuo: [Almost there.]
Liang Jingzhuo: [Come over here, I'll have Lu Li pick you up.]
She clicked on the chat box: "No need, it's very close, I can go there myself."
Liang Jingzhuo didn't insist further and replied, "Okay, be careful on the road."
Xie Qingci smiled slightly as she read the message, replied "okay," put away her phone, and changed direction, heading towards the Liang Group headquarters.
It wasn't rush hour, and the road conditions weren't too bad. Liang Jingzhuo arrived at the company a little earlier than expected. The board of directors had originally scheduled his arrival for 4 p.m., but he was 30 minutes later than planned.
He went upstairs with Lu Li and organized the materials needed for the board meeting. He felt it had been a long time, but when he picked up his phone, only five minutes had passed.
Just as he looked away from the screen and was about to put his phone down, the object in his palm suddenly vibrated, and he immediately turned his gaze back to it.
Hsieh Ching-Tzu: [I'm here. Shall I wait for you at the coffee shop downstairs?]
The Liang family's lobby on the first floor has several coffee shops and tea bars, which are not considered leisure spots and have few employees. Xie Qingci planned to just have a drink and wait there.
Carrying shopping bags, I had just stepped into the coffee shop when Liang Jingzhuo sent me a message: [Aren't you having trouble sleeping? Don't drink coffee, go wait for me in the car, I'll have Lu Li bring you the car keys.]
She thought that was fine, although she hadn't originally planned to drink coffee, thinking of having some juice or something, and replied: 【Sure.】
Liang Jingzhuo asked her, "Do you know where my parking space is?"
She replied: 【I know.】
His parking space is very easy to spot; it's a convenient private parking space right opposite the elevator lobby. I've been here once before, so I don't even need to remember where it is.
While waiting for the elevator to go down in the lobby on the first floor, I took the opportunity to think about what to have for dinner. I had originally planned to eat at home, but now I think it would be better to eat out.
As Xie Qingci scrolled through restaurant recommendations, the elevator dinged and arrived. The metal doors slowly opened, and after making eye contact with the person standing inside, she paused for a moment, then smiled and stepped inside.
Zhou Huai hadn't expected to see Xie Qingci standing outside the elevator as soon as the doors opened. He stepped aside, and as the elevator doors closed, Xie Qingci didn't press a floor button; she wanted to go to the same parking lot floor as him.
Zhou Huai's gaze lingered for a moment on the shopping bag in her hand, a brand of high-end men's jewelry.
"You've come to see General Manager Liang?"
The elevator paused slightly and began to descend.
Xie Qingci looked straight ahead, then glanced at him on the metal wall of the elevator in front of her, and replied with a smile, "Yes, he's back from his business trip today."
After saying that, remembering the accident last time, she shifted her gaze to his arm, which was the same one she had injured before, and politely asked, "Is your injury healed?"
Zhou Huai smiled slightly, "I'm doing rehabilitation, and it's going well."
Xie Qingci nodded. "That's good."
As they were talking, the elevator arrived at the parking lot. The doors of the elevator slowly opened, and Xie Qingci stepped out first, followed by Zhou Huai.
Just as she walked through the glass partition, someone behind her suddenly called out, "Xie Qingci."
Xie Qingci paused, stopped, and turned to look. "Hmm?"
Zhou Huai stood a few steps away, shrugged, and said, "Although it's a bit unnecessary to ask this question now, I still want to know."
After saying that, he paused for a moment before continuing, "Why didn't you contact me again back when we were at Peking University?"
Actually, they bumped into each other several times at Peking University. Each time, he wanted to greet her, but she would just smile politely at him and walk away with her friends.
He understood what he meant, so he politely stopped bothering him.
But I still don't understand why she smiled and agreed when he told her he'd see her at Kyoto University.
He still doesn't know why, and he never expected that when they met again, she would already be married.
Those questions that we couldn't ask back then suddenly became superfluous, and the right thing for adults to do is to tacitly agree not to bring them up again.
But he still wanted to know an answer.
Xie Qingci slowly regained her senses after being suddenly called out. She pursed her lips and thought for a while about how to phrase it, and felt that she should indeed make things clear.
"I'm sorry, my original intention was just a promise between classmates and friends, I..." she said apologetically, "I never thought it would go beyond friendship."
I'm sorry if this has caused you any trouble or harm.
Zhou Huai listened quietly to her finish speaking, then smiled with relief, "No, I just wanted to know an answer, and now I know."
After saying that, he laughed and said, "President Liang is also a senior I greatly admire. I wish you a happy marriage."
Xie Qingci smiled and replied, "Thank you."
Zhou Huai went to get the documents from the car. After leaving the elevator, he walked towards the parking space in the distance. Xie Qingci found Liang Jingzhuo's car and stood by the door waiting for Lu Li to bring the car keys. She took out her phone and continued to look at the restaurant.
She had just selected a restaurant she liked and clicked on it when the headlights of a car next to her flashed twice. She stopped what she was doing and looked up.
As Liang Jingzhuo stepped out of the elevator, his gaze fell upon her before she could even react.
?
Didn't you say you were going to have Lu Li come and deliver the keys?
Liang Jingzhuo strode over, glanced at his watch, took her shoulder, opened the rear side door, and helped her inside.
As her buttocks just touched the leather cushion, Xie Qingci was still a little dazed. "You didn't want to... um..."
The car door slammed shut, and before I could finish speaking, I was kissed on the neck, my familiar scent overwhelming me.
Liang Jingzhuo cupped her face, kissed her soft lips a few times, then parted his teeth and explored her sweet tongue.
Hsieh Ching-Tzu once ate a berry cheesecake at the counter; the sweet fruity aroma still lingered on her tongue, mixed with a touch of coolness.
He lingered and sucked on her hand twice, then reached out and took her hand in his; it was cool, just like his tongue.
Although he didn't really want to end this kiss after so many days, he still let go of her, looking down at her lips, whose vibrant color was still clearly visible in the dim light. "Why are you dressed so scantily?"
Both of them were a little out of breath. The voices they had only heard through the receiver for the past few days suddenly came into their ears with a sexy huskiness. Xie Qingci's earlobes burned a little. "There are quite a few. I walked over. My hands are just cold."
A soft sound, like a kitten's paw scratching at his heart, made Liang Jingzhuo unbutton his suit jacket, tuck her hand into his robes, and pecked her lips twice. "Did you miss me?"
Xie Qingci rested her forehead on his shoulder and nodded honestly twice, "I did."
After saying that, she put her hands in his arms and hugged him, saying, "I miss you so much."
Hearing her express herself so bluntly for the first time, Liang Jingzhuo felt his blood rushing. He pulled the person in his arms out of his arms and swallowed her breath once more.
It was a very urgent kiss, Xie Qingci could feel it from his frequent close movements.
My neck and back were strained, and I tried my best not to fall, but in the end I was defeated by the soreness in my muscles, and I collapsed heavily backward.
Just as she was about to crash into the car window behind her, Liang Jingzhuo reached out and caught her head, gently pulling her against it.
The passionate kiss was eventually interrupted by a reminder from Lu Li that the meeting would start in twenty minutes.
The clear message reverberated through the boiling crowd. Liang Jingzhuo reluctantly released the person in front of him again, glanced at the message, but did not reply.
Xie Qingci then buried herself in front of him.
He tilted his head and kissed her ear. Looking at the person hidden in his arms, he guessed she was blushing. "I have a meeting in twenty minutes."
A tender, gentle voice replied from within her arms: "Then go ahead, I'll wait for you in the car."
As she was saying this, she tried to get out of his arms, but he pulled her back down, mischievously trying to tease her, and whispered something in her ear.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the little ostrich in his arms suddenly raised its head, as if it had heard something shocking. Its expression was one of bewilderment and fear, and it looked down at him as he spoke.
The car was dimly lit, but his trousers were not loose, leaving nothing to hide.
Xie Qingci was stunned again, slowly turning her head, her ears burning. "You... go to the meeting first."
Liang Jingzhuo chuckled and brushed a stray hair behind her ear. "Going like this?"
Of course not!
Xie Qingci turned her face back and whispered, "You...you calm down first, like before."
When she had a cold and wasn't fully recovered, he would separate from her for a while after each kiss, and she would be fine when he came back.
"It might not be possible today."
He hadn't seen her for several days, and while he could control himself before, he probably couldn't today.
Xie Qingci paused, her gaze quickly sweeping over a certain striking spot once more. "Then... what should we do?"
Surely not...
Definitely not. He's in the car, and there's nothing there. Even if there were, he'd only have twenty minutes. Given his usual performance, he probably couldn't finish that.
No, even if it could be done, it wouldn't work!
Xie Qingci was a little unsure of what to do, so she gritted her teeth and decided to take the plunge. "Will you do it yourself, or should I help you?"
Although I told her last time not to do this again, it seems there's no better solution right now.
She thought that since she had made this suggestion, he would be overjoyed, but to her surprise, he simply let go of her and said, "I can do it myself."
No sooner had the words been spoken than the crisp sound of a zipper being unlocked echoed in the dim environment.
Xie Qingci froze, then quickly turned around to open the car door and get out. "Then I'll go out."
The moment his hand touched the doorknob, he was pulled back, leaned over, and kissed her, his voice a little hoarse, "Just a kiss from you is enough."
...
When Lu Li called, Liang Jingzhuo was taking out wet wipes from the storage compartment to wipe Xie Qingci's hands, not even having time to tidy up his own disheveled state.
Xie Qingci watched him carefully wipe between her fingers, her whole body still feeling hot and steamy.
Yu Guangzhong's placket, still unzipped, remained in its original state.
She felt like she'd been tricked. "Didn't you say... it would be over soon?"
She couldn't pronounce one particular syllable and glossed over it.
She finally couldn't stand him kissing her while taking care of himself, and reached out her sinful hand to him.
She felt the person kissing her give a soft, slight smile; he was indeed trying to provoke her.
Then, quite naturally, he placed her hand on top of his own, while he stepped back, holding the back of her hand and leading her...
But she was still not skilled and made mistakes frequently. However, the most embarrassing thing was not her inexperience, but that she almost couldn't catch it at the end, and her other hand, which was holding his clothes, was urgently offered to help.
Both hands were trapped.
Liang Jingzhuo wiped the last gap between her fingers clean for her, when her phone rang.
It's already the final timeline, otherwise Lu Li would never have called to urge them.
He set the soiled wet wipe aside and replied, "Not so fast."
He then took out his phone and answered the call.
Lu Li reminded him, "President Liang, the meeting is about to start in two minutes. Most of the directors have already arrived."
His voice betrayed a hint of urgency and unease.
He casually grabbed a wet wipe, lowered his eyes and began to tidy himself up, replying, "Okay, I understand."
Xie Qingci thought this scene was too erotic.
Dressed in a suit and tie, he was still on a work call.
She turned her face away, refusing to look at the people around her.
Finally, Liang Jingzhuo finished tidying himself up. After the crisp sound of his zipper being pulled up, just like at the beginning, he cleaned up the trash, leaned over and kissed her forehead. "Wait for me for a while, at most an hour."
Xie Qingci held her breath, feeling that the air inside the car was a little strange, and gave a muffled response.
Seeing how cute she looked, Liang Jingzhuo rolled down the car window and said, "Remember to close the window if you feel cold later."
A cool breeze swept in, dispelling the strange, enchanting feeling. She regained her breathing and nodded in agreement.
Liang Jingzhuo's throat bobbed again. In the end, there was simply not enough time, so he quickly planted a kiss on her lips and got out of the car.
The car door closed, and silence fell. Xie Qingci looked at her hands in the dim light of the parking lot.
Sin, oh sin.
And how can there be so many?
After realizing what she was thinking, Xie Qingci blushed once again.
-
Liang Jingzhuo arrived at the meeting room at the checkpoint, and Lu Li breathed a sigh of relief.
The meeting went smoothly and ended in half an hour. As Lu Li was leaving the meeting room, he was about to ask Liang Jingzhuo if the summary of today's meeting would be sent to his email before he left work.
The person, whose steps were steady but whose pace had quickened, spoke first: "I'm leaving now. Send everything to my email, and I'll look at it tomorrow."
Lu Li held the folder, paused for a moment, and replied, "Okay, then I'll take you back."
"No need," Liang Jingzhuo refused. "I'll drive myself. You can go home after you're done."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the elevator.
Xie Qingci sat in the car playing on her phone for a while, then suddenly felt sleepy. She checked the time and saw that only half an hour had passed. Remembering that Liang Jingzhuo had said it would take an hour when he left, she decided to take a nap.
I put down my phone, rubbed my sore eyes, and suddenly the car door beside me was opened from the outside.
She paused for a moment, then turned to look at her. "Have you finished your meeting?"
After she finished speaking, the person by the door squeezed in and kissed her again, his warm palm slipping under the hem of her thin shirt.
He mumbled "Mmm" while kissing her.
She hooked her arms around his neck in response, her kisses tracing the line of his jawline down to the soft flesh of his neck. As she gently kissed him, she breathed softly and asked, "Have you had lunch?"
She was worried that he wasn't eating well on the plane and wondered if he should have dinner earlier.
His hand, which was resting on her waist, stroked the flesh on her side. A kiss followed by a response came from the crook of her neck: "Eat it."
His kisses tickled her, and her voice trembled slightly from the teasing sensation. "So, do you want to eat at home for dinner, or eat out?"
The fragrant aroma filled my lungs, building up a towering skyscraper once again.
Liang Jingzhuo gave her a final, heavy kiss above her collarbone, his breath ragged, his eyes filled with undisguised desire. "I don't have time to talk about this with you right now."
After saying that, he opened the car door, led her out of the back seat, and settled her in the passenger seat.
"I've booked a hotel."
Without a single unnecessary word, he got into the driver's seat, started the car, and drove out of the parking lot.
Xie Qingci was still a little confused, but after a few seconds she realized, "Lexin... isn't home today, she went out with friends."
He stepped on the gas pedal, "to prevent her from coming back halfway."
This kind of unexpected situation must not happen today under any circumstances.
Xie Qingci pursed her lips, for the first time she had such a premonition of what was about to happen, and her heartbeat quickened along with the rising speedometer.
Liang Jingzhuo is usually a steady driver and never reckless, but today he was noticeably more aggressive.
Getting off the car at the hotel entrance, handing the key to the doorman, and checking in at the front desk was all very quick.
Hsieh Ching-Tzu had a feeling that she was about to be completely finished.
As she expected, things turned out just as she predicted.
As he led her up the elevator, the man, still serious and meticulous under the surveillance camera, pressed her against the door and kissed her after swiping his card to open the door and entering.
He took off his coat and vest, ripped off his tie, and removed his watch... all while kissing her.
During this time, he even took her hand and touched it through her trousers.
Xie Qingci's fingertips trembled.
With heavier breathing, he kissed her ear, not forgetting to ask about her recovery: "Are you really alright?"
Xie Qingci's breathing became erratic, and she nodded in response, "Um... but I need to take a shower first."
Although she had showered before leaving the house, she spent the whole afternoon shopping.
The moment the words left her lips, they were kissed again. "Okay."
Clothes were scattered all over the floor from the living room to the bathroom.
When her shoulder touched the cool marble wall, Xie Qingci flinched. The wall was cool, but the person in front of her was hot.
She tilted her head back and kissed him, the sound of their kisses echoing in the large shower room.
Liang Jingzhuo turned on the shower, and hot water poured down.
He was very familiar with the process.
Xie Qingci couldn't stand it like this, and pushed his hand away, "No...no, Liang Jingzhuo."
The person in front of her seemed not to hear her, and pressed his lips to hers, kissing her dishonest mouth.
In just a moment, Xie Qingci clenched her toes.
Liang Jingzhuo's eyes were red, and his throat was dry and sore. He quickly gave them both a bath, then carried her out.
Water droplets, not yet dried, dripped onto the pure white sheets. The girl lying on the bed looked like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon. He knelt on the edge of the bed, panting heavily, and then covered her with his body.
Xie Qingci couldn't help but curse him, her voice still trembling with sobs: "You bastard Liang Jingzhuo."
He kissed her and admitted in a hoarse voice, "Yeah, I'm a bastard."
Xie Qingci pressed her head against his, "No..."
She relaxed.
Liang Jingzhuo sensed it, and kissed her reddened ear again, telling her she was spineless.
Xie Qingci ignored him, tears welling in her eyes, sobbing as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Liang Jingzhuo had a feeling that he was really bullying her, but he didn't intend to stop.
He rummaged through his gear, removed the pillow covering her face, and once again led her hand to touch him.
Hsieh Ching-Tzu really felt that his face didn't match his features at all; he looked too lewd.
She refused to watch it again.
Xie Qingci's eyes darted around, looking at the person above who was staring intently into her eyes.
Sweat trickled down his temples, past his prominent Adam's apple, and finally landed on her.
He breathed heavily, his lips slightly parted. In his eyes, the girl's delicate features were alluring and rosy. As if in a daze, she called his name again and again: "Liang Jingzhuo, Liang Jingzhuo, Liang Jingzhuo..."
His mind wavered for a moment, and he suddenly remembered that Ms. Zhuang had asked them when they planned to have a child.
At that moment, he suddenly thought that it would be nice to have a child who looks like her someday in the future.
Let's wait a little longer; his little girl hasn't grown up yet.
...
During that time, he coaxed her to sit on his lap. Their bet that day was that she would take the initiative once, but she definitely couldn't take the initiative the whole time. However, she still had the spirit of the contract.
I even did some research these past few days.
In the swaying vision, Liang Jingzhuo's gaze was fixed on the small face on his body.
How can it be so beautiful?
Finally, by the leather sofa, he whispered in her ear in a hoarse voice that she was a good girl.
