Chapter 151
Cheng Sheng wanted to sneak out of bed, but she was hugged tighter as soon as she moved. Jiang Rao hugged her in a daze. The light of the morning sun shone in, making her open her eyes. She looked down at the person in his arms, raised the corners of her lips, and gently stroked her fluffy hair.
"Good morning, Cheng Cheng"
Cheng Sheng's heart warmed when he heard the intimate name. He looked up in surprise and asked her, "Huh? How do you know my nickname?"
Jiang Rao smiled: "I don't know, I just thought of it last night and wanted to call you that. So this is also your nickname."
Cheng Sheng smiled shyly: "Yes and no"
Jiang Rao didn't understand Cheng Sheng's "yes" and "no" and tapped her nose for an answer. Cheng Sheng said, "It's the orange in orange. Because I loved eating oranges when I was a kid, my mom gave me that nickname and it just happened to be the same pronunciation as my last name."
"Is that so?" Jiang Rao hugged her and called in her ear: "Chengcheng"
The low and lazy sound makes Cheng's heart flutter
After lying in bed for a while, Cheng Sheng wanted to get up and take a shower. Her clothes were thrown on the floor last night. She was too embarrassed to get up naked under Jiang Rao's gaze. Jiang Rao saw that she was shy, pursed his lips and smiled, then got up first and pulled her out of the quilt, picked her up by the waist and
Cheng Sheng subconsciously put his arms around Jiang Rao's neck, his face flushed. Jiang Rao tightened his grip and carried her to the bathroom, saying as he walked, "I've seen it all!"
As soon as the words fell, Cheng Sheng's face turned redder
Carrying her into the bathroom, Jiang Rao wanted to ask if she needed help, but just as he asked, Cheng Sheng pushed him out the door with a red face. In fact, he was worried that she was still in pain from last night, and he couldn't bear to leave her alone. While she was taking a shower, Jiang Rao washed up, changed clothes, and paced back and forth in the bedroom, thinking about how to tell her parents about this. Over the years, she had hidden her sexual orientation from her parents on the grounds of not wanting to get married. Now she can't hide it anymore. She has to give Cheng Sheng a future. Her girl
…
The Wanfeng Real Estate incident had been fermenting for more than half a month. Due to the involvement of the public relations department, the heat on the Internet has remained high. Gu Cunxi was flipping through the news on the hospital bed, and Xiao Peiyin was peeling pomegranates for her, peeling them one by one into the box.
The small spoon filled with pomegranate was handed to his mouth. Gu Cunxi ate it in one bite with a "ah". He looked at Xiao Peiyin with tenderness in his eyes: "Xiao Peiyin, have I gained weight?" Gu Cunxi looked down at his belly and pinched it.
Xiao Peiyin looked at her carefully, reached out and lifted a corner of her clothes, and took a look: "Well, it seems... a little bit..."
Smile
"Really... have I gained weight?" Gu Cunxi covered his face and murmured, "I can't eat like this anymore. I have to go to the gym after I'm discharged from the hospital!"
Xiao Peiyin handed her another spoonful of pomegranate and looked at her with a smile. Gu Cunxi shook her head: "I won't eat it anymore... I need to control myself."
"But I worked so hard to peel so many..." Xiao Peiyin pretended to be wronged. Looking at the box full of pomegranates, Gu Cunxi compromised and took a spoonful of pomegranates from the box. "Then I'll reduce the weight after I'm discharged!"
"You are not allowed to be discharged from the hospital!" Xiao Peiyin disagreed, hugged her, pinched her face, and there was a little pomegranate juice on her lips. She wanted to taste the taste of her lips more than the one in the box.
Seeing that she had just eaten a small spoonful of pomegranate, Xiao Peiyin leaned over and kissed her, not giving her a chance to react, and gently penetrated her mouth, filling it with sweetness. Gu Cunxi whimpered unexpectedly, and the pomegranate seeds burst into sweet juice in her mouth, which she sucked away.
The dizziness of the kiss
As they were sinking, the door opened. Before they could move away, Xiao Nuo appeared at the door. Seeing this scene, he turned his back and said, "Boss Gu!"
The two quickly backed away. Gu Cunxi was speechless and almost choked. He was embarrassed and annoyed. It was okay for Cheng Sheng and the others to see him, but Xiao Nuo was from the company and he lost all his face.
Xiao Peiyin bit her lip and handed over the trash can. Gu Cunxi spat out the pomegranate seeds before speaking, "Is there something wrong..."
Xiao Nuo turned his back and spoke in a voice so low that it was almost inaudible: "Yes, there are two documents that need your signature, very urgent..."
"One is the financial statement, and the other is...Vanke's down payment approval."
“Give it to me.”
She had returned to her usual serious and cold self, with a stern face, a completely different person from before. Xiao Nuo didn't move for a long time, not knowing how to turn around. Seeing that she was even more embarrassed than himself, Gu Cunxi smiled and jokingly said, "Are you facing the wall and reflecting on your mistakes?"
Xiao Nuo turned around and looked at the two people opposite him. He remembered the scene of them hugging and kissing just now. It was too hot. He could never have imagined the other side of Gu Cunxi in his dreams.
Gu Cunxi had recovered from the embarrassment just now. She took the document and looked at it carefully for a while. Xiao Peiyin took out a pen from her bag and handed it to her.
After signing and handing it to Xiao Nuo, Gu Cunxi thought about the piece of land owned by Wanfeng Real Estate and asked, "Is there any news on the outcome of the Land and Resources Bureau's handling of Wanfeng Real Estate?"
Xiao Nuo was about to say this when he nodded and said, "It's already known. Yesterday, someone from the Land and Resources Bureau came to the company with new land approval documents. As you expected, the right to use this land still belongs to Nan Sheng, but we need to go through a new procedure. The original project launch time will be postponed for at least one month."
The expected result is a true win-win situation.
Gu Cunxi was in a good mood. Although he had suffered a little, he got rid of Chen Feng and did not lose Wan Feng's land. It was already a good ending.
After reporting on the work, Xiao Nuo hesitated to speak. Seeing Xiao Peiyin was unsure whether it was appropriate to speak out, Gu Cunxi caught her hesitant look and asked bluntly, "Anything else?"
"It's about Chen Feng..."
Xiao Peiyin paused, and hatred rose in her heart when she heard the name. Gu Cunxi did not want to avoid her and let Xiao Nuo speak directly.
"The results of his handling haven't been made public online, but privately, there's been definite news: he's been removed from his position as deputy director and expelled from the party. Investigations have confirmed he accepted bribes of a huge amount, and he's been detained and awaiting trial. He's guilty of bribery and abuse of power, and he can't escape punishment."
"In addition to this, a case from a few years ago was also uncovered. It's probably impossible to solve the case altogether."
"A case from a few years ago?"
Xiao Peiyin was stunned, afraid that Gu Cunxi would be angry and worried if he knew, so she turned around and motioned Xiao Nuo not to say anything. However, Xiao Nuo didn't seem to understand and said bluntly: "I also got the news a few days ago. It is said that four years ago, together with those involved in organized crime, there was an attempted murder. The specific circumstances are not clear yet."
The two were stunned at the same time. Xiao Peiyin didn't expect Jiang Rao to sue her for intentional homicide. She didn't want Cunxi to know about this, but she couldn't hide it anymore. Gu Cunxi fell into deep thought after hearing the voice and didn't say a word.
After Xiao Nuo left, they were left alone. Xiao Peiyin was afraid that she would be angry and wanted to comfort her, so she sat down on the bed. Just as she was about to speak, Gu Cunxi asked, "Did you do it?" Her tone was calm and emotionless. Xiao Peiyin nodded and said truthfully, "Well, I couldn't do nothing..."
She thought Gu Cunxi would be angry with her, but unexpectedly, after she finished speaking, Gu Cunxi was silent for a long time before he said lightly: "I know."
The calmness made her panic
Xiao Peiyin's heart sank, and he hugged her tightly to comfort her: "I'm sorry, I didn't want to hide it from you, but I was afraid you would worry. Please don't blame me, okay?"
Seeing that she was still silent, Xiao Peiyin became more anxious and wanted to move away to kiss her. Just as he loosened his grip, she hugged him and turned him around, pressing him down.
"Gu Cunxi!"
Xiao Peiyin was startled and subconsciously looked at the IV drip, only to remember that it had been removed. Worried that her wound would burst open, she reached out and pushed her: "Get down quickly, stop making trouble, your wound hasn't healed yet!"
Gu Cunxi ignored her, pressed her down, kissed her neck and pinched her face as a punishment: "Such a big thing, but you kept silent behind my back, Xiao Peipei, you have learned bad habits!"
Xiao Peiyin breathed a sigh of relief after her face was pinched tightly, and slapped her hand: "I learned this from you. Okay, come down first, okay? The doctor just said you can be discharged in the next two days. If you're so dishonest, you'll tear the wound!"
Her tone was as soft as cotton. Gu Cunxi bit her lips lightly before she turned over and lay down obediently. Xiao Peiyin sat up and immediately tried to lift her clothes to see the wound. As soon as she stretched out her hand, she was grabbed. Xiao Peiyin struggled: "Let me see the wound first, okay? You just..."
"Don't hide things from me like this in the future, okay? I won't take risks without telling you either." Gu Cunxi changed her tone and became serious, with a layer of mist in her eyes. Xiao Peiyin's heart tightened. She brushed her eyes and touched them gently, her fingertips wet: "I won't hide it from you, not anymore!"
Gu Cunxi turned her head and kissed her palm, her heart still not calmed down. She was scared after hearing what Xiao Nuo said just now. Fortunately, Chen Feng had been controlled. Even if he dug up what happened four years ago, he could not do anything to hurt Pei Yin. But she couldn't figure out how Pei Yin did it. Jiang Rao gave her the evidence four years ago, and she had kept it in the safe in her home in Beicheng. Pei Yin could not get it.
There is only one possibility, that is, Jiang Rao left a backup.
If Pei Yin had commissioned Jiang Rao to do this, the video would not have passed through her hands. However, Gu Cunxi had a hunch that if Pei Yin knew about the video, she would definitely go and see it. If she had seen it...
"Xiao Peiyin!" Gu Cunxi called her in surprise, a little scared. Xiao Peiyin was suddenly called by her full name. She was stunned for a moment: "What's wrong? Why do you call me like that? It makes me nervous."
"Have you...read it already?"
Gu Cunxi looked into her eyes, trying to find the answer from them. As expected, the moment he asked, she paused, her eyes were clearly dull and full of darkness.
After a long silence, the answer was clear.
She has seen
She didn't even dare to watch the video. She kept it in her hands for four years and never finished watching it.
In a trance, her right hand was pulled up, and the sleeve was rolled up little by little. Gu Cunxi stopped her, held her hand and shook his head: "Can you please stop looking?"
Xiao Peiyin's eyes were red as she broke free. The cuff of her sleeve was rolled up to her elbow, exposing the long scar on the inside to them. She gently stroked it, and tears followed her, dripping onto the scar. Gu Cunxi broke free and couldn't bear to see her like this, so he lowered the cuff of his sleeve: "It's okay now. I have a scar-prone constitution, and scars will always remain. Don't cry, okay? Your crying makes my wound hurt..."
Looking at the hideous scar, Xiao Peiyin blamed herself endlessly. She covered her face, not wanting Gu Cunxi to see her appearance. She turned her back and said, "At that time, I deliberately didn't answer your call..."
"I... don't know how to face you. It's my fault. If I had answered..."
"Don't say that!" Gu Cunxi hugged her from behind: "I don't blame you. Even if I escaped that disaster that day, I couldn't escape it later."
"Xiao Peipei, look at me." Gu Cunxi pulled her around, kissed her face and said, "Let's try to forget it, okay? Let's not think about the past. Those things that are hard to get over should be over. I want to give you a brand new life."
