Chapter 12 Morning
After hanging up the phone, Qu Xiaoxiao immediately felt a burning gaze.
She clutched the bed sheet in front of her chest and turned around with her head held high.
Zhao Ziqian half-supported his body, his chest muscles clearly visible under the quilt.
Qu Xiaoxiao had already experienced how good it felt last night.
Zhao Ziqian stared at her with a half-smile, his voice hoarse from the morning.
"Good morning."
Qu Xiaoxiao's scalp tingled. After eating, she began to regret not being able to control herself last night and causing things to come to this point.
How can a fisherman be controlled by the fish?
I must not speak first this time, or I will lose momentum.
Qu Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows pretending to be calm, opened her big eyes, and looked back with an indifferent look.
It’s no big deal.
Seeing her like this, a hint of displeasure flashed in Zhao Ziqian's eyes.
He scratched his brow and decided to get straight to the point:
"So, here we are..."
He gave the decision to Qu Xiaoxiao, but Qu Xiaoxiao's mind was full of "I must hold back this time."
Qu Xiaoxiao's eyes widened, not caring at all.
"Friends~"
She winked meaningfully. "Whether it's crushing Zhao Qiping or...anything else. We're both adults, willing to do it. As long as we're happy, that's all that matters, right?"
Friends?
Very good, she used a relatively civilized word instead of saying P friend.
Zhao Ziqian laughed angrily.
Are you going to wipe your mouth after eating and deny it?
What do you take him for?
Temporary worker?
He knew that the goblin would never cherish a "fish" that was too easy to catch.
Zhao Ziqian looked at Qu Xiaoxiao, the "bad girl" who looked like she was "walking through a sea of flowers without getting a single leaf on her."
Want to play hard to get?
How could it be Elder Tang who has always been able to subdue demons? It can only be Sun Wukong.
Zhao Ziqian has some bad tastes and is a little... proud.
He didn't show any expression, nodded in understanding, and even smiled to show his understanding.
Then he threw back the quilt, got out of bed, picked up the shirt on the floor and put it on slowly.
His slender fingers slowly and methodically buttoned his clothes and put on his watch, returning to his elegant, restrained and noble appearance.
He walked to the sofa, picked up the wallet that Qu Xiaoxiao had casually thrown there, and pulled out a stack of hundred-yuan bills from it.
He returned to the bed and waved before her.
"Good quality and low price, welcome to renew your contract."
He leaned over slightly and kissed her on the forehead.
“It’s a pleasure to work with you.”
Open the door and leave.
The movements were smooth and flowing, without a trace of lingering feelings.
Qu Xiaoxiao was completely stunned and didn't react until she heard the door close.
She looked at the empty doorway, and thought back to what he had just done, and she was so angry that she laughed.
"Damn... there are still people who are willing to take advantage of others?!"
【River City】
Meng Yanchen is talking to Zhou Xun on the phone.
"Okay, just let her come directly to us."
He glanced at Fan Shengmei who was sitting on the sofa watching iPad.
"I'll take Xiaomei out for a look tomorrow."
I don't know what the other party said, Meng Yanchen smiled meaningfully and said jokingly,
"At least, I wouldn't explain to the girl I like that meteors are actually the result of comets burning up in the atmosphere as they pass through the Earth."
The other end of the phone was instantly quiet, and then a busy tone came.
Zhou Xun hung up the phone directly.
Meng Yanchen looked at the black screen of his phone and couldn't help but chuckle.
"Zhou Xun?" Fan Shengmei looked over curiously.
"Um,"
Meng Yanchen put his phone aside and sat down beside her.
"He has some urgent matters over there, so he won't be here for two days."
He paused, his eyes gentle.
"That's perfect. I'll take you out for a walk tomorrow."
As he spoke, he naturally took her hand and walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window.
The dazzling night view of the river city spreads out under your feet, neon lights flicker, and the river surface reflects the mysterious world like the one in "Spirited Away".
Meng Yanchen gently hugged Fan Shengmei from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder, trapping her between his arms and the cold glass.
“So beautiful…”
Fan Shengmei looked at the night view outside the window and couldn't help but sigh softly.
The lights of thousands of homes are reflected in his eyes, sparkling.
Meng Yanchen didn't look at the night view outside the window, but only focused on her face reflected on the glass.
"I've been to Jiangcheng many times before and have seen the night view here many times."
He tightened his arms slightly, holding the person in his arms more firmly.
"But just this time, I think the night view of Jiangcheng is the most beautiful. Xiaomei, thank you."
Fan Shengmei chuckled and looked sideways at him, "Mr. Meng's skill in speaking sweet nothings has reached perfection now."
"My wife taught me well."
Meng Yanchen lowered his head and kissed her gently.
Outside the window, the lights of the river city are bright, and a cruise ship is slowly passing by on the river, rippling the waves.
Inside the window, the figures of two people intertwined on the glass, blending into the prosperity of the entire city, gentle and affectionate.
—
The early morning sun shines through the gauze curtains, casting warm spots of light on the bedroom floor.
Meng Yanchen had just returned from the gym downstairs. After taking a shower, he returned to the room with a refreshing scent of shower gel and slightly wet hair.
He walked to the bed and looked at Fan Shengmei, who was curled up in the quilt and sleeping soundly, and his eyes unconsciously softened.
He leaned over, gently brushed away the hair on her cheek, and called her softly,
"Xiaomei, it's time to get up. We have to go out today."
Fan Shengmei groaned unconsciously and buried her head deeper into the pillow, her whole body limp and powerless.
She is too tired.
She didn't understand how Meng Yanchen could get up and stay in the gym downstairs for so long?
High-energy people are indeed terrifying.
"Mr. Meng, traveling is like going from a place you're tired of to a place others are tired of, then shutting yourself in and sleeping. Everywhere is the same: the same houses, the same trees, the same people, the same roads."
Fan Shengmei curled up in the quilt, making vague nasal sounds to express her protest.
Meng Yanchen chuckled softly, leaning close to her ear, his voice full of charm,
"Are you sure you want to stay in the hotel for a whole day? I can."
Fan Shengmei's eyes widened instantly and she became much more sober.
Meng Yanchen took the opportunity to pull the man up and pushed him into the bathroom.
On the sink, the toothbrush has been thoughtfully squeezed with toothpaste, and a cup of warm water is also ready.
"Be good, brush your teeth."
Fan Shengmei finally forced herself to open her sleepy eyes and saw the gaze of the man behind her through the mirror.
She smiled lazily and began to brush her teeth mechanically.
Meng Yanchen also picked up his toothbrush. The two stood side by side, facing the mirror, and performed their most daily morning ritual in sync.
This scene couldn't be more ordinary. Even though it happened every morning, it still made him feel extremely at ease and fulfilled.
After washing up and leaving the bathroom, Fan Shengmei turned around and wanted to rush to the big bed in the bedroom, mumbling,
"Just five more minutes of sleep..."
Meng Yanchen stretched out his long arm and quickly pulled her back into his arms.
He lowered his head and placed a soft and brief kiss on her lips, which still tasted of cool toothpaste.
"Be good, you can't sleep anymore."
He rested his forehead against hers, "Go change. I'm taking you somewhere nice today."
She raised her face, looked into his smiling eyes so close to her, and finally nodded obediently.
"All right."
