Meng Sheng was slightly stunned.
His mind couldn't help but emerge with Shang Boyu's reaction this morning when he thought she was having morning sickness.
Surprise, excitement, anticipation, and even pride and pride.
She saw all of this and it didn't seem fake.
A man who was looking forward to becoming a father in the morning, but in the afternoon he could renew the hotel room he used to have affairs with his mistress, and at night he would hug his mistress and do all kinds of intimate things.
She doesn't understand.
How strong must a person's inner core and mental qualities be to be able to thrive like a fish in water.
So what kind of excuses and reasons will he find tonight?
On business trip?
Or overtime?
Meng Sheng stared at the line of words, feeling a subtle pain in his heart. His breathing also stagnated slightly and became a little difficult.
After a long while, she laughed out loud, as if with contempt, as if with self-mockery.
Around eight o'clock in the evening, when she was packing up to leave work, Shang Boyu called her.
She didn't even have to guess, she knew why he called.
As soon as I picked up the phone, Shang Boyu's gentle voice came from the other end of the phone, "Shengsheng, are you off work?"
"I'm getting ready to leave." She asked, "How about you? When are you going back?"
"I have a cross-border video conference at around 12 o'clock. I negotiated a foreign construction project a few days ago, but it hasn't been finalized yet. I don't know when this meeting will end. You don't have to wait for me tonight. Go to bed first."
There are always many reasons to work overtime.
However, she saw Shang Boyu looking through documents about the project at the dining table this morning.
Every time he made an excuse, it seemed that it was always reasonable and perfect.
Meng Sheng only felt numbness after the severe pain, with complex ripples in her eyes. She tried hard to suppress the trembling in her throat.
"Then staying up late is very harmful to your health. Can you handle it?"
Shang Boyu said with a smile on his face, "I'm a grown man, so it's okay for me to stay up all night. You can't stay up late, you know? You must go to bed early, and I'll come back to make soup for you tomorrow."
"good."
After hanging up the phone, she came out of the office and bumped into Ning Weiwei who was also getting ready to get off work. She asked casually, "Do you want to go eat?"
Ning looked at her with regret, "Ah? Sorry, Shengsheng, my boyfriend has booked a restaurant and he will pick me up later."
Meng Sheng was stunned.
Suddenly I remembered that I heard Shang Boyu say on the phone in the restaurant last night that he would ask someone to pick her up.
In order to fool her, the two of them put on a very complete show.
"My boyfriend." Meng Sheng smiled faintly, "Forget it, maybe next time."
"I'm sorry, Shengsheng. Next time I'll ask him to treat you to a meal to make amends."
"fine."
The elevator reached the first floor. Ning Weiwei and several colleagues walked out together, while Meng Sheng went directly to the underground parking lot. After thinking for a few minutes, the car finally drove to Jinzhou Hotel.
She parked her car in an inconspicuous place and sat in the corner of the lobby on the pretext of waiting for someone.
At about half past nine, she finally saw Shang Boyu and Ning Weiwei. They were holding hands, talking and laughing, just like an ordinary couple.
No matter how many times he sees it, Meng Sheng still finds this scene impactful.
It is difficult for her to overlap the man who loves her dearly and the man who hugs her best friend intimately.
Meng Sheng's eyes felt a little sore, but he tried hard to hold back the heat in them and not let it spill out.
She raised her phone and quickly took several photos of their silhouettes and backs.
He withdrew his gaze only after it disappeared, turned his back, took a deep breath, took a sip of the already cold water, and took a long while before getting up and leaving.
That night, she tossed and turned until three or four in the morning before falling asleep exhausted.
When she woke up the next day, she didn't see Shang Boyu. Looking at the empty parking space in the garage, she curled the corners of her lips, chuckled, and drove to the art museum.
Halfway through the journey, I received a call from the dry cleaner.
Pei Sui's coat has been washed.
She went to get it and sent a message to Pei Sui: [Lawyer Pei, your coat has been washed. Can I send it to the law firm for you? ]
About seven or eight minutes later, I received his reply: [I am not at the law firm. I will be back in the afternoon. Please send me the address and I will pick it up.]
While waiting for the green light, Meng Sheng replied with a "OK".
After arriving at the art museum, she sent Pei Sui her location and asked him to message her when he arrived.
Taking the elevator to the third floor, when passing the rest area, several people were surrounding Ning Weiwei and looking at her mobile phone, exclaiming in amazement.
"Your boyfriend must be a handsome guy. His hands are so beautiful."
"Why don't you use a front-facing photo as your screen saver?"
"You don't understand this. It's obvious that Team Leader Ning is a hand control."
Meng Sheng raised his eyelids slightly and asked at the right time, "What are you looking at?"
Everyone looked up at her, "Director, good morning."
One of the long-haired girls took Ning Weiwei's phone while she wasn't paying attention, and ran to Meng Sheng, "Director, look, this is Team Leader Ning's screen saver."
"Shi Tong!"
Ning Weiwei's heart skipped a beat and she tried to grab it quickly, but it was too late.
Meng Sheng has already seen it.
In the photo, the two people are holding hands. The man's fingers are white and slender, revealing the back of his hands with bulging blue veins.
Meng Sheng was not unfamiliar with this photo. She had seen it on Ning Weiwei's Instagram.
She glanced at the hand, thoughtfully, "This... looks a little familiar?"
Ning Weiwei walked over and snatched the phone away, looking nervous and anxious, "Look familiar? How familiar?"
"I remember now. No wonder it looks so familiar." Meng Sheng spoke slowly, then smiled, "My husband also has one like this. Even the color of the dial is the same."
"It's normal to have the same style as others."
Ning Weiwei's heart settled back down in her stomach. She laughed awkwardly twice, then turned off her phone and put it away.
His eyes swept sharply over Yan Shitong, who was still smiling very happily.
This idiot!
Meng Sheng smiled calmly, "Yeah, it's not a custom-made one. Stop chatting and get busy."
After saying that, he returned to the office.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, she received a call from Pei Sui, "I'm here, at the east door."
"East door?" Meng Sheng was a little surprised. "Then wait for me, I'll be down now."
She carried the clothes to the east door and through the glass, she saw Pei Sui's tall and straight figure standing next to the car from afar.
The golden sunlight poured down on him, adding a bit of warmth to his originally sharp and cold facial features.
Looks more handsome.
She paused for a few seconds, a slight curve appeared at the corner of her lips, and she walked over.
Pei Sui heard the footsteps and turned around, looking at her from a distance of several meters.
His coat was a bit heavy and very long, and it looked quite strenuous for her to hold it in her arms.
Pei Sui took two steps forward with his long legs and took the coat in the dust bag. A faint scent of camellia lingered at the tip of his nose, and he raised his eyebrows.
He said quietly, "Thank you."
Meng Sheng was stunned for a moment, and the weight in his arms disappeared. "You're welcome. I should be the one thanking you. But... why are you here?"
The east door is usually the passage for the gallery's cleaners and porters.
Pei Sui said, "There are too many people at the entrance, so it's hard to park."
Ning Weiwei, who was passing by the glass window on the third floor, happened to see this scene. She raised her eyebrows in surprise.
Pei Sui?
Meng Sheng actually knows Pei Sui!
Still quietly hiding in this deserted corner and talking.
It was clearly the day of the school anniversary that they didn't seem to know each other well.
Tsk!
Ning chuckled softly, his eyes dimming as he suddenly had an idea.
The scene where Pei Sui reached out to take the clothes but seemed to be going to hug Meng Sheng was frozen in the mobile phone album.
