Chapter 138 He is getting engaged...
Dusk falls.
Xie Ling was drinking quietly in the bar.
This time, she didn't concentrate on drinking, but instead fiddled with the wine glass in her hand and looked around.
Before, Huang Shishen was unwilling to miss the opportunity to get close to the Xie family.
After Xie Ling returned from LA, Huang Shishen contacted her again and asked, "Sister Xie, what's going on between you and Mr. Chen?"
At that time, Xie Ling really couldn't accept the idea of having a relationship with a middle-aged man, so she just asked, "Has Chen Fuji returned to China?"
Huang Shishen asked in return, "Do you want him to return to China?"
Now, Xie Ling no longer cares about her bottom line of not wanting to discuss emotional issues with the old man.
Dusk is falling.
The neon lights from the street outside shone through the window glass, casting mottled shadows in the wine glass.
Xie Ling sat at the bar, absentmindedly shaking his wine glass, his eyes frequently glancing towards the entrance.
After staring for twenty minutes, Huang Shishen finally appeared at the door.
Xie Ling subconsciously straightened his back and stared at him.
"Thank you, Miss."
Huang Shishen sat down opposite her with a greasy smile on his face, his whole body flashing with undisguised shrewdness.
"Mr. Huang."
Xie Ling's face tensed, and this time, for the first time, she used a respectful title.
Make full use of the principle of using people forward and not using people backward.
But she was just a little girl, so Huang Shishen naturally wouldn't bother with her.
He glanced at Xie Ling, not only was he not worried, but he also felt a little emotional—
Young people’s feelings are so pure.
I have to say that Chen Fu Ji is still blessed.
Just looking at the face in front of me, everything is clear without saying a word.
Xie Ling didn't blink at this moment, and was very cautious, with all his attention on Huang Shishen.
This person had shown such great powers before, and even hinted that he could let Chen Fu Ji return to his country.
My brother had already come forward to help me once, but this time his attitude was clearly one of opposition.
Chen Fu Ji had no benefits to offer his brother, so his brother naturally wouldn't care about him and help them get together.
Now she can only try any possible means to cure her illness.
Xie Ling poured himself a full glass of whiskey and clinked it with Huang Shishen's.
"He's getting engaged..."
She lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes casting a shadow on her face, and her voice was so soft that it seemed like she was talking to herself, "Tell me, am I stupid?"
Huang Shishen was speechless for a moment and put down his wine glass awkwardly.
After all these years in the business world, he had a good eye for people. After spending so much time with Xie Ling, he had long since seen that the daughter of the Xie family was innocent at heart, like a canary raised in a pile of brocade, unaware of the dangers of the world.
It’s not that stupid.
Huang Shishen suddenly reached out and placed his rough palm over the rim of her wine glass, stopping her from drinking.
"Let me ask you a question,"
He lowered his voice, his eyes gleaming with shrewdness, "Miss Xie, are you interested in Mr. Chen?"
Xie Ling raised his head and looked at him.
Her face was pale, and her expression looked very sad and lost. She had a very pretty little face.
Xie Ling raised his face in confusion.
Huang Shishen volunteered, "If Miss Xie likes it, I have my own way."
This was the first time Xie Ling looked directly at this greasy old man. She pursed her lips and said "hmm". "What do you have in mind?" Huang Shishen smiled.
——
A week later, Xie Ling was introduced by Huang Shishen and saw Chen Fu Ji from afar at a business dinner.
Xie Ling didn't ask about the Xie family's business before and stayed at home with peace of mind.
This was the first time she had seen Chen Fu Ji in such a business setting.
He was dressed very neatly in a suit and tie, with a charming look, but his aura was cold. There was a circle of people surrounding him, all praising him. At the same time, he was also praising other people with a very skillful gesture.
Xie Ling was unconsciously attracted by his posture, and was slightly stunned, wanting to move forward.
Huang Shishen stopped her.
"Ms. Xie, I have other plans." He was confident of winning.
…
Chen Fu Ji was drunk.
He was forced to drink a few more glasses at the party, and in order to make up for the offense he had committed abroad, Mr. Huang arranged for him to stay in a top-notch presidential suite upstairs.
Chen Fu Ji managed to steady himself and walked upstairs.
He took out his room card and swiped it to open the door.
With a "beep", the lights in the room came on as bright as day.
The suite has an inside and outside layout.
Chen Fu Ji walked to the bar outside, sat down and poured himself a glass of water; then he unbuttoned his shirt with one hand, took off his top, and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
Chen Fu Ji took a quick shower, with water still dripping from his black hair. He simply wrapped himself in his bathrobe and walked towards the bedroom.
He didn't turn on the light and lay down on the bed. After a while, he heard light breathing sounds beside him.
The bedside lamp was turned on.
Under the warm yellow light, Xie Ling sat on the bed obediently, hugging a white quilt. Judging from her expression, she seemed to have just recovered from the shock.
Chen Fu Ji frowned.
After all, he was drunk, and at this moment he could not tell what day it was. For a moment, he even dreamed of the days when they were still together.
Xie Ling didn't expect that Huang Shishen's other arrangement was to give her and Chen Fuji two room cards for one room.
Chen Fuji couldn't help but look down, landing on the pink floral suspender nightgown she was wearing, and then took a look at her half-wet long hair, "Is this your room?"
Xie Ling didn't know how to start.
Chen Fu Ji was really drunk. He had just taken a shower and had almost used up all his remaining self-control. It was a bit difficult for him to get up from the bed again.
Xie Ling saw through his attempt and after a moment, stopped him, saying, "Why don't you just leave?"
Chen Fu Ji looked at her with the same gaze as before.
"Just sleep here, anyway..." It's not like I haven't slept here before.
Xie Ling didn't finish the second half of the sentence because Chen Fuji slowly withdrew his gaze and after a long while, he lay back down in his previous position.
The bed is big enough, king size.
There seemed to be a huge gap between the two of them. Xie Ling admitted that he had ulterior motives and couldn't sleep at all.
She racked her brain, trying to pick one or two topics to talk to him about to improve their relationship.
But after thinking about it for a long time, I realized that due to the lack of interactions in the past, the only thing we had was sex. Now I want to find a topic, but I don’t know how to start it.
She could only hold the quilt, quietly turn sideways, and peek at him.
She wanted to see if Chen Fu Ji was asleep.
The first sight of it fascinated me.
Xie Ling actually knew that he was good-looking. When he was in college, every time he came to the school to see her, after meeting that group of classmates, the girls around her would come up to her embarrassedly and ask about her "brother".
They thought Chen Fu Ji was her brother because she always affectionately called her Aunt Hu or Mother Hu.
"List……"
Xie Ling bit her lip, and was about to speak, but swallowed the second half of the syllable.
She suddenly thought that he had drunk a lot of wine at the party today and must be very tired.
Are you still willing to listen to her?
Xie Ling opened her eyes again and looked at his face.
He had a high nose bridge, his breathing was even, his eyelids were tightly closed, and he really looked like he was about to fall asleep.
Xie Ling placed his hands on the side of his pillow, his eyes fixed on the subject, just as he was about to retreat and go back to sleep.
Suddenly, an arm came across her waist and hugged her around the waist. She fell into his arms before she felt dizzy.
