Chapter 173 Little Liar
Shen Yixiao has been a little weird lately.
After returning from the beach, Cen Wan felt that he was hiding something from her.
Cen Wan walked into the study with a glass of milk, and saw him quickly switch the computer interface, and the content on the desktop became a planning proposal.
Perhaps it was because the two of them were too familiar with each other and understood each other too well, Cen Wan could always catch those subtle unusual things.
For example, although he went to the company every day, he rarely brought work home, let alone stayed in the study at night.
He is not the kind of person who takes work too seriously. Did he suddenly change his personality?
"Are you still busy?" Cen Wan put the milk on the table and asked.
Shen Yixiao reached out and hugged her, letting her sit on his lap. His tone was full of frivolity, and his voice was lazy and casual: "Why, are you waiting for me to sleep?"
"So the baby is so anxious."
Cen Wan's eyes widened: "That's not what I meant."
Shen Yixiao chuckled: "But this is what I mean."
As soon as he finished speaking, he picked up the person horizontally. Cen Wan screamed and instinctively hugged his neck, forgetting what she was going to ask.
The computer on the table was still on and no one cared. Shen Yixiao kicked open the door and went to the bedroom.
Her back sank into the soft quilt, and in a daze, Cen Wan felt Shen Yixiao pinching her fingers and playing with them one by one.
Just as she was about to speak, she was dragged into an even more intense wave. Her thoughts were in a mess and she couldn't spare any extra energy.
Afterward, Cen Wan lay in Shen Yixiao's arms. He touched her sweaty face and said slowly, "Baby, I have to go to Country D. It might take two or three days. Can I have Chen Yu pick you up from work these days?"
Cen Wan turned to look at him, her eyes still red and wet: "So sudden?"
Shen Yixiao leaned over and kissed her forehead: "Can't bear to leave me? I'll be back soon after I finish my work. If you have anything, just call me directly. If it's urgent, you can also contact Chen Yu. I will arrange it."
Since they got back together, it seemed as if the two had never been apart. Cen Wan actually felt a slight sadness of parting.
"Why haven't I heard you mention it before?"
Shen Yixiao: "It was only decided these past two days. I was afraid you would cry and not let me go."
"Don't give me that," Cen Wan smiled. "I still have a couple of days to spare while you're away on business."
At least I can have a good rest for two days.
"But there's no need for Chen Yu to take me there. I can go to the studio by myself."
Chen Yixiao raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at her with a half-smile: "With your skills, you will have to move at a snail's pace during rush hour. How can I be assured?"
"What's wrong with my skills?" Cen Wan turned her back and didn't want to pay attention to him.
Shen Yixiao hugged her from behind, and a hot kiss fell on her smooth white back. His voice was slightly hoarse: "Let's not talk about this for now. We have to be apart for a few days. Feed your husband first..."
…
On the first day of Shen Yixiao's business trip, Cen Wan was still a little uncomfortable.
In the past, Shen Yixiao would always cook, or they would go out to eat together. She was too lazy to make a living by herself, so she would just order takeout in the evening.
Because of the time difference, when Cen Wan went to bed at night, it was already afternoon for Shen Yixiao. She didn't want to disturb him at work, so she sent a message and prepared to go to bed.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she put down her phone, Shen Yixiao called her via video.
She answered the call, and Shen Yixiao's deep and handsome face appeared before her, with a clear sky behind him.
Cen Wan moved her lips and said, "Just go about your business. You don't need to video call me."
Shen Yixiao raised the corners of his lips slightly: "No matter how busy I am, I still have time to talk to the baby. Do you miss me?"
Cen Wan nestled in the quilt, looking at his handsome features, and curled her lips: "No."
"Little liar."
Shen Yixiao stood on the terrace outside the coffee shop, the sunlight shining on the side of his face. In the semi-light and semi-darkness, the sharp lines seemed to soften a little.
He turned the camera to show her the surroundings: "I have an appointment with someone in the cafe to discuss something. Look, baby, I didn't lie to you."
Cen Wan: "Why are you showing this to me?"
"Report it." Shen Yixiao said as a matter of course, "Let my baby know my whereabouts."
Cen Wan: "I don't want to know."
Shen Yixiao raised his eyebrows: "But I want to tell you."
This is also a way to give her a sense of security.
A smile filled Cen Wan's clear eyes: "Oh, I see."
After chatting for a few words, Cen Wan urged him to hang up: "Go and get busy. Don't keep me waiting. I need to go to bed."
Shen Yixiao opened his thin lips slightly: "No more takeout. If you're bored tonight, ask your friends to have dinner together."
Cen Wan suddenly remembered Jiang Yuan who was still "taking refuge" and nodded vaguely: "I know."
"I'll be back soon, go to sleep, goodnight."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Yixiao walked into the coffee shop. At the door, an old man with gray hair and a lively spirit was sitting there waiting for him. He had already drunk half of his coffee.
Shen Yixiao said in fluent German: "Sorry, Louise, there is a time difference between China and abroad. I have to call my lover before she goes to bed."
The old man put down his coffee, a sincere smile on his face. "I can see that you love her very much. I will consider your request. Come to my studio at the same time tomorrow."
Shen Yixiao nodded slightly: "Thank you."
…
Shen Yixiao repeatedly told Cen Wan not to have a sloppy dinner. Coincidentally, Xu Yousheng had no plans for tonight, so the two of them made an appointment to have dinner together at a popular tea restaurant in the city center after get off work.
Shengsheng: [My event ends at 6:30 pm, so I might be a little late.]
Wanwan: [It’s okay, I’ll go there after get off work later, it’s just right.]
Yuanyuan: [I want to go too...]
Wanwan: [You can also come back now]
Yuanyuan: [No, I still need to retreat for a while, please don’t reveal my whereabouts.]
Cen Wan stayed in the studio until after six o'clock, grinding and sifting all the cinnabar she had before packing up and getting ready to go home.
After everyone else went back, she cleaned up the studio and closed the doors and windows before leaving.
After locking the door, she sent a message to Xu Yousheng: [I'm going over now, Shengsheng, no rush, take your time.]
The lights in the alley lit up one by one. It was difficult to get a taxi here, so she walked out of the alley and headed towards the intersection ahead.
"Sister, buy me a flower." As they passed a corner, a little girl tugged at her clothes.
Cen Wan looked down along the force and saw that the little girl looked only five or six years old. Her clothes were very old and her face was dirty. Her pair of dark eyes stared at her longingly.
She was holding a bunch of packaged roses.
Her heart softened, she squatted down, and asked gently, "How much are these flowers? I want them all."
The little girl stammered, "Nine...nine dollars and ninety-nine per stick."
"good."
Cen Wan lowered her head and sniffed, then took out her cell phone to pay.
Suddenly, she felt dizzy and her hands lost strength. Her vision went dark and she passed out.
