84 Meet Again
◎Ms. Zheng◎
"Liang Ting'an, do you have any shame?"
The first thing he heard upon receiving the call was Qin Zhen's broken defense. Liang Ting'an pretended not to hear, his tone as calm as a chrysanthemum: "What's wrong? Qin Zhen, I don't think we've had any contact lately."
"Why are you pretending? Still pretending?" Qin Zhen almost burst into a curse. He sneered and said sarcastically, "Shao Yue and I were busy dealing with public opinion issues, and you, without saying a word, just took Liang Youwei away?"
"We're different." Liang Ting'an chuckled, confident. "I'm Weiwei's brother. So, I can be with her anytime, regardless of whether there's a third person present. As her ex-boyfriend, you should clearly understand your own status."
Qin Zhen was truly furious when his pain was hit. He blurted out, "Liang Ting'an, who wore their pants properly and exposed you? You—"
"Qin Zhen!" Hearing this, Liang Youwei, who had been just watching the fun, frowned. She spoke up and scolded the person on the other end of the phone, "Your words are too harsh, aren't they?"
"...Weiwei? You're with him?"
Qin Zhen was stunned for a moment, then burst into even greater sarcasm. So Liang Ting'an was playing him?! Normally, the two of them would exchange insults, and he was being polite today. Was he pretending for Liang Youwei?
Liang Youwei, unaware of her brother's "green tea" behavior, was now preoccupied with Qin Zhen's obscenities. Her brows furrowed, "Don't ever say that again, okay? Qin Zhen, we have children to support. Have you ever considered the impact your bad habits might have on them? Besides, Liang Ting'an is my brother. How can you say that about him?"
Qin Zhen had just finished a disgusting meal with Shao Yue, and his mood was already bad. Now he was even more upset after being attacked by Liang Ting'an. At this moment, listening to Liang Youwei's words of defense, he wanted to spit out blood.
But a dog is a dog. No matter how angry or dissatisfied it is, it dares not and will not bark at its owner.
So, Qin Zhen closed his eyes, his chest heaving violently, but he spoke calmly: "I won't do that again, Weiwei, don't be angry, okay?"
He said humbly, "As an apology, when you come back after having fun, I'll lick you, okay?"
Ahem! Why are we talking about this?
Liang Youwei suddenly opened her eyes wide, glancing back and forth between the phone and Liang Ting'an, and stuttered: "Who told you to say this? No, no more, it's too late, I want to hang up..."
As she spoke, she wanted to take the electronic product in Liang Ting'an's hand, but the other party raised his mobile phone, leaving her empty-handed.
There was no expression on his face, which meant "I want to see what Qin Zhen has to say."
"Hang up? Why are you hanging up?"
Dogs won't bark at their owners, but biting them lightly is common. Qin Zhen was very calm, but also very crazy.
"Weiwei, don't you like me licking you the most? I remember you said that Liang Ting'an doesn't understand this. You said he is not sensible at all, only cares about his own comfort, and is an utterly selfish person, not even half as good as—"
Under her brother's increasingly cold gaze, Liang Youwei stood up and rushed over, forcibly sliding the screen and completely interrupting the call.
In the silence, Liang Youwei heard the sound of herself swallowing.
"Brother, I've agreed with my sister that I'll sleep with her tonight. I'll be leaving first..."
She blinked rapidly and stepped back cautiously.
Three, two, one, safe and sound.
Her brother just looked at her with a calm gaze.
Just as Liang Youwei breathed a sigh of relief, thinking she had escaped danger, her wrist was suddenly grabbed.
The next second, without any warning, her body involuntarily turned back, her lower back firmly grasped, and the man opposite her leaned down to kiss her. The clean, refreshing scent of aftershave, mixed with the steady agarwood, blended perfectly with the roses on her body.
Her heart was beating like a drum, and Liang Youwei didn't dare to move for the time being. Her eyeballs moved under her tightly closed eyelids, but after only half a circle, she came up with a solution.
Pretending to be weak should be enough, right? Liang Ting'an and Qin Zhen both fell for this trick.
"Brother..." She opened her eyes during a breather and was about to act coquettishly, but he didn't give her the chance. He directly picked her up by the waist, his long eyelashes drooping coldly, and looked at her, neither lightly nor seriously: "Hmm?"
Liang Youwei was stunned, and her lower abdomen suddenly felt sore.
"Hold tight."
She did so, but using a different part of the body.
At first, Liang Youwei hugged his neck with her arms; then, Liang Youwei clamped his head with her thighs; finally, Liang Youwei could only scratch the pillow under her with her nails.
Afterwards, her skin faintly exuded fresh, clean moisture as she embraced another body radiating warmth. Her mind went blank from the excessive pleasure, and Liang Youwei blinked slowly. After a long moment, she finally came to her senses.
The memories of the past two hours came flooding back, unreasonably. The more she thought about it, the more embarrassed she became. A blush crept back onto her face, and she pursed her lips, raised her foot, and kicked the person next to her in the thigh, without even a shred of resistance.
Liang Ting'an snorted, knowing he was in the wrong, and didn't blame her: "Are you still angry?"
Liang Youwei was still not satisfied, so she pinched his big pectoral muscles: "Liang Ting'an! You're a pervert!"
Hearing her call him by his full name, the man was stunned for a moment, then he couldn't help but laugh happily: "Are you really angry? Okay, brother admits his mistake. Ms. Liang Youwei, please forgive me, okay?"
His tone was gentle and tender, which was very different from his previous behavior in bed. Liang Youwei resisted the urge to scream and blushed: "Then you promise me that you will not play cosplay in bed in the future..."
When Liang Youwei thought of those weird names, she was too embarrassed to face anyone. Her shoulders, fingers, and toes were all tucked up.
Liang Ting'an said seriously: "When did my brother start cosplaying?"
He was very serious and said, "Am I the president of the group?"
"yes……"
"Then isn't it normal for you to call me Mr. Liang?"
“…”
Liang Youwei's neck turned from white to red, but he continued: "I am your guardian, the one who raised you, right?"
"Calculate……"
"Then you yell D——"
"Shut up!"
Liang Youwei screamed, burying her face in his chest. Her voice was muffled and her frail shoulders trembled. "Don't say those two syllables again! No, no, no!"
Liang Ting'an smiled and lowered his head, then gently kissed her shoulder: "Okay, brother won't say anything. Lift your head, okay?"
Liang Youwei didn't listen, her voice as loud as a mosquito's hum, sticky and greasy: "I don't want it. You're a pervert. What if you see me and start talking about how red and beautiful you are?"
The man seemed puzzled: "Don't you like it? You're spraying all the time."
Liang Youwei was so embarrassed that she almost died. She didn't want to pay attention to him and turned around with her back to him. No matter how the people behind her tried to coax her, she refused to turn back.
Seeing no results, Liang Ting'an sighed and silently put his arm around her waist, his palms gently resting on her lower abdomen, almost covering it completely. Perhaps it was because of the back wall, or perhaps it was because it hadn't been a full sixteen weeks, Liang Youwei's lower abdomen was still almost flat.
Liang Ting'an found it magical that the knowledge he had acquired in the past had become tangible.
She hesitated: "What are you doing..."
He was surprised: "You won't even let me touch you?"
Liang Youwei couldn't stand it any longer and scolded in a low voice: "I can't sleep if you keep touching me like this. You kept touching me, and the sleepiness I worked so hard to build up was all gone!"
"At least he's your uncle, Vivi, don't be so cruel." He placed a helpless kiss on her shoulder, and the warmth of his palm was clearly conveyed.
When Liang Youwei mentioned the child, she paused and opened her eyes slightly. She couldn't help but lower her eyes and look at Liang Ting'an's hand.
Her thoughts drifted, but she finally softened her heart. She placed her soft palm on the bony back of his hand: "It's not just my uncle's."
Although he knew that this was not true, Liang Ting'an still couldn't help but fall in love. He said: "Brother, I believe in you."
Alas, I’m afraid that too many people will believe in me.
Liang Youwei felt her eyelids fighting each other. Before falling asleep, she turned back and asked, "Have you told your sister about this? About me sleeping here tonight?"
Liang Ting'an wasn't very sleepy, and he helped her comb out the strands of hair clinging to her forehead. "I told you in advance. She's flying to Japan tomorrow to attend a lecture and meet clients. She'll be free the day after tomorrow, so you can go over and spend a couple of days then."
"Oh. I'm going to play in Hong Kong Island tomorrow?"
"Well, brother is with you. ...And with the baby."
"Didn't you say you were going to take care of the company's affairs?"
"Those will be fixed soon. Don't worry."
Liang Youwei felt her eyelids sore and slowly closed them: "Then I'll go to sleep..."
"Go to sleep." Liang Ting'an kissed her forehead. "Good night."
Liang Youwei held a grudge and muttered, "You don't say goodnight."
·
Liang Ting'an never lied to his family. When he said "it can be solved quickly", it was just a morning matter. When Liang Youwei woke up the next day after a good sleep, he also rushed back from the company.
The woman who had just finished breakfast, or lunch, was surprised: "So efficient?"
Liang Ting'an had already taken off his suit jacket, his close-fitting vest outlining his beautiful figure. He sat down beside her and said, "Well, mainly to explain some things to the president here and make some personnel changes."
He didn't really want to talk about work in front of Liang Youwei, so he changed the subject: "Have you decided where to go this afternoon?"
Liang Youwei lay back on the sofa without any posture, her fingers slowly sliding across the screen. "Sha Tsim Tsui, where you can go shopping, see the scenery, and eat. In the evening, I'm going to Blues Hour to eat Japanese food and watch the fireworks display."
Normally, reservations were required for Blues Hour, but Wang Heng, as a long-term partner of its parent company, had permanently reserved a private room with a great view. Shao Yue had made arrangements last night so that the owner could recognize Liang Youwei's face, and she could go there anytime.
Liang Ting'an nodded in response to all the questions.
Around one o'clock, the two set off.
When visiting Hong Kong this time, Liang Tingan naturally brought a secretary and assistant with him, but considering that it was rare for him to be alone with Liang Youwei, he gave them a short vacation to have fun on their own.
When she arrived in Sha Tsim Tsui, Liang Youwei went straight to the shopping mall.
They first came to a brand jewelry store. Liang Youwei thought that her brother had empty fingers, so she planned to buy a pair of rings for fun.
"Hello, miss. It's a pleasure to serve you. Do you have any preferred styles?" The salesgirl here was very warm and polite. After hearing Liang Ting'an speak Mandarin, she consciously switched languages.
Liang Youwei scanned the incandescent light, the diamond rings, large and small, gleaming brilliantly, casting an almost blinding light. Her eyes hurt, so she simply raised her head and asked earnestly, "What are some good-looking rings for men?"
The salesgirl didn't expect this, so she subconsciously asked, "Don't you want to choose something that looks good on you?" But as soon as she said this, she realized something was wrong and quickly apologized with a smile, "Sorry, miss..."
"It's okay, I know you're thinking about me." Liang Youwei poked the person next to her with a smile, "It's mainly for him to wear it, so of course I'll choose a diamond ring that suits him best."
The salesgirl breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at the man accompanying her.
He has a very typical Chinese handsome appearance, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, a straight and broad face, and a good height and physique. Generally speaking, he is not picky about style.
However, she didn't have much time to admire his looks. She just felt that her spring was coming - this lady was obviously a big spender! Her big commission was coming!
The salesgirl suppressed her urge to push the most expensive item and said professionally, "This gentleman has a good figure and beautiful hands, so he's not picky about style. Do you have any ideas? Could you give us a rough idea of your preferences? For example, would you like something more dramatic or more restrained?"
Liang Youwei thought without hesitation: "Something exaggerated, preferably with obvious diamonds. Of course, it can't be too big, because he has to wear it to work every day."
The salesgirl sensed a bigger opportunity: "Perhaps you could buy two pairs? One for formal occasions, and the other for a more casual, everyday look?"
"That's right. Brother, what do you think?" Liang Youwei's eyes lit up and she poked him with her arm.
Liang Ting'an smiled and nodded. "I like everything you buy. But Weiwei, for the everyday style, can I request a diamond-free or diamond-less design?"
Liang Ting'an didn't think about being shy, nor did he mind that the large diamond ring would affect his image as a CEO. However, his suits were very formal, and I'm afraid it wouldn't match the large diamond ring, and it would look out of place.
Compared with others, he no longer has the advantage of age and should be extra careful in taking care of his image.
"I'll agree to your request, reluctantly." Liang Youwei thought about it and agreed: "The formal style should be a little bigger, shiny and beautiful."
Liang Ting'an never said a word about her hobbies and aesthetics, but just obeyed her blindly, almost to the point of doting.
"Yeah. I think so too."
Watching the interaction between the two people in front of her, the salesgirl couldn't help but smile sincerely. It's been a long time since I've seen such a well-matched and loving couple. Compared with the cheating men in the past, this one in front of me is really rare.
If Liang Youwei knew what she was thinking, she would definitely laugh out loud - the man in front of her was indeed not cheating, he could barely be considered the one who seduced her into cheating.
With an auntie's smile on her face, the salesgirl's voice became even sweeter: "Why don't you take a look at these two models? They'll suit your needs perfectly."
…
Zheng Minhua's wedding is just around the corner. She is used to being casual and free. If she is unhappy, she will break away from the tedious wedding preparations and take her good sisters shopping.
"Grace, what are you looking at? You've almost lost your soul."
Zheng Minhua noticed the person in front of her suddenly fixed their gaze on the distance, and couldn't help but pat her in confusion, "Hey, come back to your senses?"
Li Jingya ignored her, fixed her eyes, frowned, took out her cell phone and took a picture of the distant place.
Zheng Minhua was getting annoyed: "Hey! You're ignoring me again!"
"Stop messing around and look at this." Li Jingya withdrew her gaze from the transparent glass wall and shifted her friend's attention to the mobile phone screen.
"What's so good about it? Isn't it just Liang Youwei and Liang..." Zheng Minhua couldn't believe it when she said, "Liang Ting'an?!"
A strange feeling rose in her heart, and she enlarged the name of the store on the top floor - HARRY WINSTON.
The thing this store makes the most is obviously wedding rings.
But didn't Liang Youwei just get married a few days ago? Why would she be buying a wedding ring now? Moreover, in this shot, she's affectionately holding the arm of Liang Ting'an, her nominal elder brother.
Which adult siblings would be so close?
Thinking of the news she happened to see yesterday, Zheng Minhua muttered to herself: "So, Liang Youwei and Shao Yue got married last month, but she went shopping at a maternity and baby store with Qin Zhen yesterday, and today she went shopping for diamond rings with Liang Ting'an?"
Is the little sister nowadays… so strong? Fortunately, I didn’t order her to my brother. Qingqing Grassland is not worth it. Only other families can look interesting.
"What on earth is going on? Did you go to Liang Youwei's wedding? Did she really get married?"
Li Jingya's face turned pale. "I wasn't feeling well that day. Have you forgotten? Do you still remember what happened on the cruise ship last year?"
Zheng Minhua opened her mouth wide: "I remember, but wasn't that woman Liang Ting'an's secretary?"
"Now it seems that may not be the case."
The absurd sense of irony was overwhelming. Thinking of the scene she had witnessed with her own eyes, Li Jingya already had a clear answer in her heart.
There really is nothing new under the sun. Most of the gossips in Hong Kong Island are about men being caught by their wives with mistresses, and illegitimate children fighting over inheritance. Li Jingya thought these things were convincing enough, but it turns out that the ones in the capital are even more ridiculous, and it's this kind of drama.
The beautiful woman took a deep breath and deleted all the photos from her phone.
"Huh? Why did you delete them all?"
Gossip is human nature, and Zheng Minhua hadn't seen any details yet. She nudged Li Jingya, a little dissatisfied, and told her to wait until she finished reading before deleting it.
Li Jingya clicked on the Recycle Bin and the cloud drive, deleting all the remaining spare parts one by one: "Keeping this kind of stuff in my hands is like a time bomb. If I don't delete it, will I wait until the New Year?"
Zheng Minhua teased her: "I thought with your personality, you would hand this thing over to the media."
Liang Youwei is the "woman with a pointed chin", but Li Jingya recognized the wrong person in front of her. Just thinking about it, Zheng Minhua, as a bystander, felt weird and uncomfortable.
"I'm not that wicked." Li Jingya rolled her eyes and said bluntly, "I still have to vent my anger, but I'm not a cheapskate who only cares about those dirty tricks."
Sooner or later, the Liang family will have to cooperate with the Li family. Li Jingya only wants to negotiate with Liang Tingan based on her personal ability, let him lose well, and get the greatest benefits into her own hands.
This is called revenge.
As for why she didn't look for Liang Youwei... it was definitely not because the other party was too stupid and cute, and it would be boring to bully her.
"Aren't you looking for wedding shoes? Go ahead. Today I've resolved some past doubts, and I'm in a good mood, so I'll buy you a pair."
"Hey, just one pair?"
"Greedy ghost. Perfect, at most ten pairs."
"That's more like it."
“…”
Accompanied by Liang Ting'an, Liang Youwei's shopping experience was somewhat ordinary. Her brother's reactions were always bland and speechless. In the past, when shopping with other people, they could basically have a good conversation, but when Liang Ting'an came over, let alone "a good conversation", it was difficult for him to even express his opinions.
"Brother, do you usually have this casual attitude when you have meetings at the company?" In a pottery shop, Liang Youwei turned a tulip-shaped drinking cup and looked at it carefully, asking a little puzzledly.
Liang Ting'an also watched with her, and pondered for a moment: "It's different. Work is work, life is life."
Most of the things he liked couldn't be spoken about openly. And even if he did, Liang Youwei might not be able to satisfy him. So, there was no need to say it.
"What's so difficult about speaking your mind?" Liang Youwei curled her lips, but before she could finish her complaint, she was interrupted by an uncertain voice.
"Excuse me...is this Miss Liang?"
Liang Youwei turned her head and was visibly stunned when she saw the person coming. She had never seen this tall, long-haired girl before, but she recognized her face.
Zheng Jiasi.
Zheng Jiasi must have a private trip today. Her makeup was light and her outfit was simple. When Liang Youwei realized who she was, she opened her eyes in surprise: "Ms. Zheng?"
"Well, I didn't expect to meet you today." She smiled, "But since we've met, I'd like to take this opportunity to clarify some online rumors."
Liang Youwei was confused: "What rumors?" Shao Yue had already explained it. And even if there was a past between them, it was before Liang Youwei and Shao Yue "got married". The other party had no responsibility to clarify and prove himself, and she had no right to be the "first wife beating the mistress".
Zheng Jiasi thought she was just worried about her reputation and said considerately, "Could you please buy Miss Liang a cup of coffee? There are quite a lot of people here."
Liang Youwei still didn't understand, but the other party looked serious, so she nodded: "Okay, but I'm not very familiar with Hong Kong Island. I think you should book the specific cafe."
"Miss Liang, you're welcome."
Liang Ting'an had been a quiet spectator, but when he was about to follow Liang Youwei into the box, the person in question stopped him suspiciously: "Brother, what are you doing here?"
Liang Ting'an paused, trying to brainwash her: "Weiwei, are you hiding something from me? You know that brother won't tell anyone casually, right?"
"This is not the same thing." Liang Youwei refused to be kidnapped and acted coquettishly, "Brother, of course you can know everything about me, but Miss Zheng's privacy has nothing to do with you. Just wait for me outside."
After saying that, she quickly stood on tiptoe and secretly kissed the side of his cheek to comfort him, staring at him with her sparkling eyes without blinking, with a sly smile.
Liang Ting'an: ...
In an instant, he was held down and acquiesced to the other party's actions.
Liang Youwei went in with confidence and closed the door tightly.
"Ms. Zheng, do you want to talk about the news from a year ago? That's all in the past." As if to ease the awkwardness, Liang Youwei spoke first. She was a social expert.
A look of bewilderment crossed Zheng Jiasi's eyes. "Ms. Liang, didn't you pay attention to what happened this morning? I thought it would be better to let you know in advance. I don't know where this rumor came from, but some unscrupulous media outlet reported that Mr. Shao and I had rekindled our old relationship. They even posted some pictures of similar jewelry, but they were all from two years ago, and it was completely coincidental."
Liang Youwei was stunned. How could the media be so capable of fabricating stories these days? She was shocked: "Does anyone believe this?"
"Precisely because they are not a minority, we need to clarify this with the parties involved." Zheng Jiasi smiled, feeling powerless and helpless. "The last time I spoke with Mr. Shao was during the Chinese New Year when we sent a group message of greetings. However, their claims were so convincing and misleading that I need to clarify that this is not intentional hype on our part."
The other party was so sincere and reasonable that Liang Youwei felt inexplicably guilty: "It's okay, it's okay, Miss Zheng, I know the situation between you and Shao Yue. This is not your original intention."
"...Thank you for your understanding. I won't do anything I didn't do in the past."
The drink was served at this time. Liang Youwei thanked her softly. The sweet taste filled her mouth. She was surprised: "Miss Zheng, did you order juice?"
The other person nodded gently. "Although I don't know the exact state of your health, I think it's better to be cautious." She raised her wrist to check her watch. "I have already said everything I need to clarify. From now on, I won't waste your time."
The girl, with her back straight, nodded to Liang Youwei, then quietly stood up and left.
"Have fun in Hong Kong Island."
