☆, Chapter 68 Wen Yuci, what do you mean?
When Wen Yuci left Sheng'an, Shu Wanning was still in a meeting.
Yan Hao secretly observed his expression and asked, "Boss...are you going back to the company?"
"Go half awake."
Cen You, who received the message, was half awake when he arrived. Wen Yuci had already drunk half a bottle of wine and was leaning on the sofa, enveloped in smoke.
He held a cigarette between his fingers, puffing bluish-white smoke rings from his mouth. There were already several stubbed out cigarette butts in front of him.
Cen You frowned slightly. It had been a long time since he saw him so depressed.
He didn't ask any more questions, but poured himself a glass of wine, clinked glasses with him, and then filled his glass.
After many years of friendship, he didn't say anything and he didn't ask.
He accompanied him with one cup after another. Wen Yuci looked at the time and it was already late at night.
At this time, Shu Wanning probably got up to eat snacks.
His eyes were full of loneliness, the wine glass was shaking in front of his eyes, and the tie that was restricting him had already been torn off by him.
"Cen You." He called him in a low voice.
Cen You tilted his head to look at him, and roughly understood why.
He pressed down his hand that was about to take out the cigarette and said seriously, "I think she relies on you quite a lot."
Wen Yuci shook his head: "She can rely on me, or she can not see me."
He curled his lips slightly, like a parent proud of his child's excellence, and said softly:
"She is very independent and has her own little world. Emotions...are not a burden to her."
He was already drunk when he left half awake, and when he returned to Qianyue Bay, Shu Wanning was already fast asleep.
He opened her door, stood at the door and watched her sleeping on her side, then carefully closed the door.
In the room, he washed off the smell of alcohol and sat by the window, without a trace of sleepiness in his eyes.
He looked down at his phone. This week, Shu Wanning had only sent him a few messages, all of which said she would not go home for dinner.
His thoughts seemed very confused and yet also very clear. If she said she wanted to leave, he could have simply disagreed and forced her to stay by his side.
But he didn't want to see her as lifeless as before.
He sighed, and a smile slowly appeared on his deep brows.
It seems to be saying: Forget it.
The next morning, when Shu Wanning went downstairs, Wen Yuci had already left.
She was a little confused, as he usually read the newspaper at the dining table at this time.
Xiaomei put breakfast on the table and said after seeing her, "Madam, the young master said he won't be back for dinner tonight."
She opened her phone and found that the chat history was still from one day ago. She had forgotten to reply to Wen Yuci's message.
In the company, Wen Yuci deliberately suppressed his low mood, but the executives still felt it.
Listening to their trembling reports, Wen Yuci tapped on the table: "What? Can't you speak normally?"
He raised his hand to end the meeting, sat in his office, and immersed himself in his work.
Yan Hao hadn't seen him like this for a long time. He wanted to say something but stopped himself several times. He wanted to call Shu Wanning, but was afraid that he had done something wrong.
Shu Wanning finished work early at Sheng'an, feeling exhausted all over. When she returned to Qianyue Bay, Wen Yuci had not yet finished get off work.
He never liked working overtime, and she felt something was wrong.
She did not stop and asked Yan He to take her to Wen's.
When I arrived at the company, I gently pushed open the office door and saw Wen Yuci was still busy.
He looked up and saw the person he had been missing all day.
There was exhaustion on her face as she walked closer until she sat on his lap with her arms around his neck.
"Why haven't you finished get off work yet?"
He restrained his urge to hug her and replied softly, "I'm a bit busy today."
Shu Wanning said "oh" and turned her head to kiss him, but he turned his head slightly and dodged.
She was slightly startled, staring at him with confusion and inquiry.
Wen Yuci stood up with the person in his arms, then put her on a chair and went to the lounge.
When he came out, he was holding slippers in his hand. Shu Wanning looked down and found that her heels had been rubbed red by the shoes.
Her high heels had a strap, and Wen Yuci squatted in front of her.
His warm fingertips touched her slightly cold ankles. He moved gently, taking off her high heels and replacing them with slippers.
When changing the other shoe, Wen Yuci suddenly stopped moving without looking up. Shu Wanning heard his voice.
He asked, "Is Sheng An going well?"
"Yeah, not bad."
"Can you handle it?"
Shu Wanning touched his hair and didn't answer. Instead, she asked, "Do you have something to say?"
He took off his shoes and gently held her slender ankle.
His voice was low and full of reluctance: "Our agreement still has six months left. If you want to leave early, I will keep my promise."
The air suddenly became very quiet.
He squatted there without moving, his warm palms trying to warm her cold ankles.
Shu Wanning lowered her eyelashes and slowly withdrew her hand from his head.
She opened her mouth, then pursed her lips and said nothing.
She has been very busy these days and is unable to handle many tasks.
Knowing that she had neglected him recently, she went home early yesterday afternoon.
I wanted to find a sense of security in his arms, but he still hadn't come home by two in the morning.
She suddenly didn't want to talk to him.
She stood up, broke free from his hand and left the office. Wen Yuci curled his fingertips and slowly withdrew his hand.
He ran out and suddenly stopped when he grabbed the door handle.
Perhaps it's best not to disturb her.
On the way back, Yan He looked at Shu Wanning's unhappy face, and after hesitating for a long time, he decided to tell the truth.
"Madam, the boss cares about you very much. When you are busy, he will ask me about your news every day.
The boss was outside the door when you were in the meeting yesterday, but he left secretly.
"I see..."
She murmured softly, tilted her head to look out the window, and it was raining again.
When Wen Yuci returned to Qianyue Bay, there was no one in the entire villa.
He went upstairs tiredly to take a shower and was startled when he opened the bathroom door.
He stopped drying his hair, and the water dripping from his hair fell on the soft carpet.
Shu Wanning wore a black suspender nightgown with a low neckline, revealing her cleavage.
She rested her hands on the table behind her, her hair loose, with a few wet strands draped over her collarbone.
She leaned against the table, tilted her head to look at him, her expression a little cold.
Wen Yuci was only wearing a bath towel. He quickly wiped his hair and turned to walk into the cloakroom.
Shu Wanning:......?
He changed into his home clothes and came out with a coat in his hand.
He walked closer, put his coat over Shu Wanning, and lowered his head to look into her slightly aggrieved eyes.
He just felt that she was really like a kitten, stretching out her claws to scratch him.
"Wen Yuci, what do you mean?"
Shu Wanning looked at him unhappily. She was clearly trying to seduce him, but he was terrifyingly calm.
Her nightgown was very short, revealing a section of her thigh.
He gently stroked her face, held her in his arms, closed his eyes, and suppressed the throbbing in his heart.
He buried his head in her shoulder, placing soft kisses on it.
His voice was a little hoarse, and he spoke softly: "I... just hope you can be happier."
