Chapter 132 Bring it back to me

This question made Shuangxu pause.

In the moment she was stunned, Xiao Liao covered her mouth with both hands, and shock leaked out from her wide eyes.

"Oh my god, I let it slip." Shu Yang stuffed the lamb chops into his mouth, "I'd better cover my mouth."

Xiao Liao stared at Shuang Xu and uttered in a trembling voice: "You... and Mr. He... are doing this for our company's project. Did he trick you?"

The result is similar, but the process went a little off.

Shuang Xu was hesitating whether to explain, when Xiao Liao blurted out, "But isn't he impotent?"

“…”

"I understand. He has impotence and can't find a girlfriend, so you are right about the unspoken rules, right?" Xiao Liao finally connected all the key words together, and suddenly realized it. He felt very distressed, "Wow, little boss, you have sacrificed too much for our company!"

Shuang Xu decided not to correct it: "It's okay if you understand it this way, but it's a secret, don't tell anyone else."

Xiao Liao nodded: "I am very strict with my mouth, unlike Mr. Shu."

He Tingzhou returned to the compound, but when Shuang Xu returned to the villa, he had not returned yet.

After taking a shower, she went to bed to rest, thinking about Shu Yang's words in her mind.

Intimate relationships can easily lead people into a quagmire of delusion. She and He Tingzhou seem to have been a little too intimate recently. The kiss last night, the secret meeting in the villa in the western suburbs without anyone knowing, cooking together in the kitchen...

Perhaps the boundary between lovers and couples is so blurred that she often forgets that she is looking forward to their relationship ending as soon as possible.

It's just a deal, don't get too carried away, she reminded herself.

But she seemed to really like He Tingzhou.

The servants of the He family were busy preparing a table full of sumptuous dishes. Commander He was busy with official duties and spent very little time at home, but he always kept He Tingzhou's birthday in mind every year. Even if he could not come back on that day, he would celebrate for him in advance.

He took time out of his busy schedule to come back and have dinner with his son.

Tomato seafood soup was served on the table. He Tingzhou took two bites and called the chef who was cooking: "How do you make this soup?"

The chef thought that what he had cooked was not to his taste, and replied tremblingly: "The seafood broth is made with fish bones, shrimp shells and fennel bulbs. The tomato flavor mainly comes from tomato paste and fresh tomatoes, and some white wine is also used..."

He Tingzhou asked: "Is lemon added?"

The chef nodded: "Yes."

"It tastes good." He Tingzhou said, "Send me the recipe."

The chef was stunned for a moment, looked at Commander He who was equally surprised, and went back to organize the menu in a daze and strange manner.

Commander He asked, "You haven't been living at home recently. Are you sleeping well? If you want to move to Taiheyuan, bring your servants with you."

"My bed can't accommodate so many people." He Tingzhou drank his soup nonchalantly, "One is enough."

Commander He stared at him for a few seconds. He could still tell whether his son was in a good condition or in a good mood.

"You have a girlfriend?"

He Tingzhou sarcastically said: "After holding it in for the whole night, you finally asked the real question?"

"You are my son. You have a girlfriend, so I can't ask you." Commander He asked, "Whose girl is she?"

He Tingzhou: "My girl."

It's rare to see him care so much that he specially moved out. He calls the child "my family" all the time and even learns how to cook. Which father wouldn't be curious?

"I'm free tomorrow at noon. Bring it back and show it to me."

"It's too early. Your son hasn't been promoted yet, so you can't even sit at the table for meals." He Tingzhou didn't know where he got the shamelessness from, and he spoke with great righteousness.

“…”

Commander He was choked by him. He found it unbelievable that his son, He Qingwei, could not get a woman and could not even get a girlfriend to be his regular wife.

But I also think he deserves it.

"When you are in front of girls, you should be more careful with your words and be gentle. Don't be so sharp all the time. It's easy to hurt them."

I don't know which part of these words touched He Tingzhou's sore spot. She glanced at him, put down her chopsticks, picked up her coat and left.

"It's not your turn to teach me this."

There was a dinner party in the evening to entertain guests from Malaysia.

This cooperation is a major project of the company in the next few years. Shen Yu attended the meeting in person. During the banquet, the contract was finalized while they chatted and laughed.

In the second half of the dinner, the box was filled with the smell of alcohol. Some were drunk, some were hugging beauties and being intimate with them. Shen Yu sat on a chair, smoking a cigarette, his eyes fixed on an unfocused place.

He picked up his coat, walked through the drunken box, and left the club.

The car stopped downstairs on Songming Road. Shen Yu sent Lao Wang away. He got out of the car and looked up at the building.

The lights are off.

He did not go upstairs to take out a cigarette and light it. The smoke rose up and his expression was not clear in the dim light.

That night, Shen Yu waited downstairs until two in the morning.

The chimney was filled with cigarette butts, and the lights upstairs never came on.

He stood by the road, using the time of his last cigarette to consider whether to go up, and how to deal with it if his hypothesis was confirmed.

The red flame between his fingers burned out, he crushed the cigarette butt into the cigarette extinguisher, took the elevator and went upstairs.

Shen Yu pressed the doorbell, but no one answered.

Shuang Xu only used that string of numbers as his password. He entered the password and opened the door.

Darkness swept over him, and he turned on the light, only to see an empty house. The quiet wind blew through it in the middle of the night, and there was no trace of her living here.

He should have discovered it earlier.
