Chapter 214 Chapter 214
Xia Shuran received Chi Yu's message, washed her hands, and replied to him.
When she returned to the private room, she only saw the tea artist.
Xia Shuran learned that Chi Yu had gone out.
She walked across the corridor and saw him in the bamboo forest in the backyard.
As the sky darkened, the night lights in the teahouse lit up around the bamboo forest.
Chi Yu was walking in the bamboo forest at night, wearing a white shirt and suit pants.
The suit is not like loose sportswear, and his superior broad shoulders and long legs are well displayed, and even the outline of his chest muscles can be vaguely seen.
The shadows of the bamboo leaves fell on his porcelain-white and handsome face, making him look cold and aloof.
Chi Yu put one hand in his pocket and leaned against a bamboo tree in a relaxed manner.
His right hand hung down, with a lit cigarette between his fingertips. He just let it burn without any intention of paying any attention to it.
Two middle-aged bosses surrounded him, looked very respectful to him, and said something.
Chi Yu's expression was as distant and smiling as usual, but he responded to everything he should respond to.
Xia Shuran stopped and stood quietly by the circular fence, watching the few people chatting and laughing with interest.
The smile on Chi Yu's lips was still faint. Xia Shuran knew that he could speak lies to ghosts and people in a different way. Chi Yu had strong communication skills.
But his nature of being taciturn and cold remains unchanged. At most, the difference is between ignoring and having to pay attention.
Xia Shuran had never seen him chatting with people who were a generation older than him.
He then smiled gently and stared at Chi Yu's expression.
Fearing that Chi Yu had come out to look for her, she sent him a message to let him know she was safe. He felt relieved, and on the way back, she happened to meet someone from the business world and had no choice but to start a social interaction.
When Chi Yu hugged her tenderly afterwards, his voice was low and gentle, and he talked a lot.
He told Xia Shuran that dealing with middle-aged bosses at work was the most tiring.
They took Chi Yu's family background into consideration and gave him face, and spoke insincere compliments to him.
But as soon as we told them the truth and talked about cooperation, they started to play Tai Chi, showing their distrust of Chi Yu in both obvious and subtle ways.
No matter how high the platform his parents build for him, he will only realize how difficult it is when he steps on it himself.
Xia Shuran thought to herself that most of the people who came to drink tea must be elderly.
This teahouse is very high-end in Beijing. Xia Shuran had to use a coupon with Chiyu Bank credit card points to reserve a private room.
Recommended No wonder Chi Yu ran into someone who knew him.
Xia Shuran saw it clearly, and Chi Yu raised his hand and took a puff of cigarette.
He pursed his thin lips lightly, without deliberately exhaling the smoke, but just slightly opened his lips, letting the smoke slowly dissipate in the night wind.
His handsome face was shrouded in bluish-white smoke, and his sharp and cold eyebrows gradually became blurred.
Xia Shuran's attention was on her boyfriend who was not far away.
Only then did she realize that the waiter behind her had spilled the tea, breaking the precious tea and porcelain cup into pieces, making quite a noise.
Chi Yu glanced casually towards the round fence.
Xia Shuran had no time to hide and met his gaze.
Chi Yu looked at where Xia Shuran was. He didn't show it on his face, but just raised his eyes slightly and motioned her to come over.
Xia Shuran didn't want to face the two middle-aged men with big bellies, so she quickly dodged and hid behind the railing.
Chi Yu just curled the corners of his lips lightly, said nothing, and waited for Xia Shuran to come out by herself.
As expected, Xia Shuran couldn't help herself and secretly turned her body to glance at Chi Yu.
He was caught red-handed by Chi Yu.
Xia Shuran stared blankly as Chi Yu walked over to her, took her hand, and led her towards the bamboo forest, introducing her to the two men, "My fiancée."
Although Xia Shuran was extremely embarrassed, she reacted very appropriately.
She was neither too enthusiastic, as befitted her status, nor too reserved, appearing aloof. She grasped the complexities of etiquette very accurately.
Chi Yu felt satisfied. It seemed that her father's wealth was not in vain. He did teach her a lot.
Xia Shuran joined in the chat for a while.
The two middle-aged bosses would not let the atmosphere become quiet, so she didn't say anything. Since Chi Yu only responded briefly, she didn't need to say anything either.
After less than ten minutes, it finally dispersed.
The middle-aged boss and his two companions eagerly escorted Chi Yu into the private room of the teahouse.
After the door was completely closed, Xia Shuran took a sip of tea first, and Chi Yu asked the tea artist to go off work.
Xia Shuran was confused, "Shall we go home?"
It is a metaphor for taking favors lightly.
Xia Shuran packed her bag, and Chi Yu went to the front desk to pay, but was told that the two middle-aged bosses had already paid the bill.
Xia Shuran couldn't help but laugh, "They really know how to curry favor with you."
Chi Yu, however, seemed to have expected it and did not react at all.
Xia Shuran tenderly took his arm and walked towards the underground parking lot.
Chi Yu's cigarette had not yet burned out, with a small amount left. Thin wisps of smoke slowly rose along the back of Chi Yu's white hand with slightly blue veins.
Xia Shuran saw that he was gently pinching it with his fingertips, with no intention of pulling it out.
When they reached the parking lot, just as Chi Yu was about to put out the remaining cigarette and throw it into the trash can, Xia Shuran, who had been hesitating all the way, finally spoke.
"I, I want to take a puff."
Chi Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at her.
Xia Shuran said in a low voice, looking into Chi Yu's eyes, "I want to smoke too."
Chi Yu had no expression. He hugged Xia Shuran close to him and made her face away from him.
He held the cigarette in his hand and put it in front of her mouth.
Half of Xia Shuran's body was wrapped in his arms.
He had rolled up his shirt sleeves to his forearms and was wearing the black mechanical watch she had given him, which contrasted with his cold white arms.
The veins overlapping the sharp wrist bones and tight forearm muscles are full of wild masculine hormones.
His arm was across Xia Shuran's face, and his breath was gently falling on her ear.
That breath seemed to carry a faint, lazy smile.
The tips of Xia Shuran's ears turned red, and small bumps appeared on the back of her neck.
She wished she could squat down immediately and escape from Chi Yu's invisible shackles.
Xia Shuran smelled the bitter smell of cigarettes and looked at the scarlet cigarette that was about to go out. She pursed her lips nervously, and as if she had made up her mind, she leaned her head towards his hand, ready to hold the cigarette butt that Chi Yu had bitten.
Just as Xia Shuran's lips touched his, Chi Yu instantly took his hand away and put out the cigarette.
"No smoking." Chi Yu threw the cigarette into the trash can and said indifferently.
Xia Shuran stared at Chi Yu's back, angrily.
Chi Yu opened the passenger door for Xia Shuran. Xia Shuran was indignant and snorted at him when she sat in.
Chi Yu closed the car door with a smile.
