Chapter 283 This glass of water seems to be left overnight

Qiu Manman cooperated with Xiao Liu's performance.

After the meeting, he went back and told Yun Yaxin and the others about Meng Meijun's kidnapping.

When the old lady heard the bad news, she took a step back and fell on the sofa.

Her expression was first surprised and then happy, "Which kind-hearted person did this?"

“…”

"???"

Everyone present stared at each other, not knowing how to respond.

Yun Yaxin held Qiu Manman's shoulders and asked, "How true is the news? Could Xiao Liu be lying to you?"

"Mom, her eyes were red from crying, and she knelt on the ground and begged me to help her."

"I have no choice. I am unfamiliar with this place. I can only come back and ask you how to deal with it."

Autumn is long and exaggerated.

At this time, the screen of the mobile phone in the pocket showed that it was on a call.

Xiao Liu on the other end of the phone was caught off guard by what was said and was speechless.

I'm also worried that Qiu Manman's acting skills can't keep up.

Who knows, her acting skills are better than anyone else.

Kneel on the ground and beg her for help? Only Qiu Manman could say this so ridiculous yet reasonable.

The old lady clenched her fists with a serious face, "How did Xiao Liu do it? Instead of telling me, you came to tell a little girl like you."

Qiu Manman sorted out the logic and said tactfully: "She seems to... know about what happened at the banquet."

Xiao Yanyu asked: "Does she know anything else?"

“I don’t know.”

Yun Yaxin glanced at Xiao Yanyu.

Xiao Yanyu immediately understood, "Manman, these things have nothing to do with you, we will solve them, Si Zhuo, take her upstairs."

Autumn smiled silently.

She followed Si Zhuo happily.

The two of them went upstairs one after the other.

After closing the door, Qiu Manman very spontaneously told Si Zhuo about the cooperation she had achieved with Xiao Liu without Si Zhuo even asking.

I've said so much that my mouth is dry.

Qiu Manman pointed at the water on the table and said in a clear voice, "Honey, can you pour me a glass of water?"

Si Zhuo did as he was told.

When the cup was about to touch Qiu Manman's hand, he immediately took it back, "Listen to me, don't mix it in."

"I won't." Qiu Manman raised her hand and swore.

[Don't even think about it, Si Zhuo follows me around every day, and I can't blend in even if I want to. 】

Si Zhuo nodded silently.

It seems that she is still very self-aware.

Qiu Manman snatched the cup of water and drank it when he was not paying attention.

The next second, Si Zhuo said, "I almost forgot, this glass of water seems to be left over from the night before."

“Ahhh???”

What should I do?

[Such a familiar line, where have I heard it before? ]

Oh, I remember now.

Qiu Manman remembered that a long time ago, she had also poured water for Si Zhuo.

I muttered this in my heart at that time.

Si Zhuo met her gaze and pretended to know nothing, "What?"

Qiu Manman was sure and confident: "You are teasing me."

Si Zhuo did not deny it.

"Has Pei Yi contacted you recently?" After a pause, Si Zhuo asked this question again.

Qiu Manman started coughing, "Ahem, I'm drinking water, can't you wait until I finish drinking before asking?"

[That's not right, why should I feel guilty? ]

Pei Yi didn't contact me at all.

Qiu Manman put down the cup, put her hands on her hips and said angrily, "You don't believe me, right? You've been feeling more and more insecure lately. How could you doubt your wife?"

"Why are you feeling guilty? Could it be that you contacted him without telling me?"

Si Zhuo suddenly leaned over.

Feeling the pressure emanating from Si Zhuo, Qiu Manman regained the familiar domineering temperament of this man.

【It tastes just right. 】

Si Zhuo was confused for a second.

Qiu Manman put her hands on his chest and pushed him away.

"Pei Yi didn't contact me. But since you asked, should I contact him?"

"No!" Si Zhuo said.

Qiu Manman burst into laughter, "Look at you, why are you still so angry?"

"Pei Yi has no time to pay attention to you recently, so don't try to make a name for yourself. Unless you want to develop something with him?" Si Zhuo showed a gloomy look.

Qiu Manman felt a strange feeling run up her spine.

"What did you do?"

[I feel like my villain has done something bad behind my back? 】

[Looks like I need to find an excuse to check my phone. ]

This thought is popping up in my mind.

When I looked up, a mobile phone was handed to me.

Qiu Manman was so shocked that she exploded.

"What's the point of you giving me a cell phone for no reason?"

[Damn it, it’s happened several times.]

[I started to wonder if Si Zhuo could know what was going on in my mind? ]

Si Zhuo calmed down and pretended to take back his phone. "Don't you suspect that I did something I shouldn't have done? I'll give you the phone to prove your innocence."

"oh."

[I'm so scared. I hope God doesn't give Si Zhuo any golden fingers.]

Si Zhuo: Your hopes have been dashed.

Si Zhuo felt inexplicably relieved, and the corners of his mouth curved up.

Qiu Manman really started checking her phone messages.

There is no problem with the information.

The last few dozen calls were also work-related.

Qiu Manman patted her head and suddenly realized, "Hubby, I want to ask you something very seriously."

"Um?"

"We will be staying in Country A for a while. Will your delay in work affect my pocket money?"

"…………" Si Zhuo laughed and tapped her head.

"You have no conscience. Is that all you want to ask?"

"Tell me, can you?"

"No, the team that Si spends tens of millions every year to support is not there to eat and do nothing." Si Zhuo didn't take it seriously at all.

Only then did Qiu Manman feel relieved.

Si Zhuo turned around, feeling depressed.

It's been so long, why is she still talking about pocket money?

"Qiu Manman, in your eyes, is the pocket money I give you every month more important than me?"

"No, pocket money is the icing on the cake. You are the most important thing to me."

Qiu Manman looked at him with burning eyes.

Anyone would be immersed in this look and believe what she just said.

Si Zhuo's emotions were soothed to a certain extent.

No.

It was completely soothed.

[You Si Zhuo is still making money, how could I not know this truth? 】

Si Zhuo laughed angrily.

“?” Qiu Manman was puzzled.

Si Zhuo turned his back, unexpectedly he still had to comfort himself.

He thought, this is also love.

She doesn't want other people's money, she only wants his.

Isn't that enough?

It's only right to understand a money-obsessed wife.

He could hear her thoughts, so why should he still bother with her?

That is not enough and it should not be.

Qiu Manman didn't know whether Si Zhuo believed what she just said.

She opened the calendar on her phone and saw that December was approaching.

Sooner or later, that sense of security will be given to Si Zhuo.

A sense of security is what Si Zhuo needs.

A sense of ceremony is what Qiu Manman needs.

Thousands of miles away, Pei Yi was locked up at home.

Pei's father arranged many bodyguards to guard the villa, in addition to delivering three meals a day to Pei Yi.

He never had a chance to get out in the sun.

After lunch, Mr. Pei wiped his mouth and asked his aunt to bring the meal up.

The housekeeper came in to report, "Miss Si Chan is here."
