Meng Sheng felt the coldness coming from his palm, frowned slightly, and forced himself not to break free, with a smile on his face.
"Really? Then I want to go to Switzerland to see the snow-capped mountains..." As she spoke, the smile on her face gradually disappeared, and a look of regret emerged, "But I can't go for the time being."
"What's wrong? Why can't you go?" Shang Boyu asked with concern.
Because she can't miss the great show at Yueqifang tomorrow afternoon.
She wanted to see with her own eyes the miserable scene of Ning Weiwei being despised and falling into the quagmire.
Besides, she didn't want to travel with him.
Whenever she thought of every little thing between him and Ning Weiwei, she felt nauseous.
"You forgot that Qiu Yi and Ying Feiting's joint exhibition is about to start. As the curator, I can't leave." She took a hand to count the time. "It will start on the 19th of next month and last for a month. When it ends, it will be almost the Chinese New Year. It seems that I can only go after the New Year."
Shang Boyu looked at her eyes full of disappointment and helplessness. He seemed to be able to feel her need for him, and the missing space in his chest seemed to be filled up bit by bit.
He knew that the art museum meant a lot to her, and he couldn't force her to leave her work and go out to play. The guilt surged over him like a tide.
He bowed his head and murmured sincerely, "I'm sorry, Shengsheng."
Meng Sheng met his gaze and immediately understood what his "I'm sorry" meant.
I'm sorry for letting her down, for betraying her, for lying to her, and even for hurting her.
But she couldn't say "It's okay" with a smile.
The scar on her heart still causes her to feel a subtle pain. Even though it is not strong, it is enough to make her remember the pain of being betrayed by the two people closest to her.
She suppressed her emotions and said with a smile, "There is no rush at this moment, let's go to Switzerland after the New Year, we can see the snow-capped mountains anyway.
My pregnancy would be more stable and less risky by then.”
Shang Boyu subconsciously looked at her flat belly after hearing what she said, his eyes were gentle, "That's true, I'll listen to you and go after the New Year."
He hesitated and said softly, "Wife, you don't seem to have any pregnancy reactions."
Meng Sheng was slightly stunned when she heard this. She had thought about this matter before.
But there was really no way she could pretend to be vomiting to death every day. Not only was it too tiring, but she also didn't have the mental strength to do so.
It’s better to have no reaction at all.
She smiled and said, "It's strange to say, my biggest reaction during pregnancy is probably that I can't stand the smell of oily smells. I'm a bit picky about what I want to eat, but there's nothing else..."
Shang Boyu's face was full of tenderness. He bent down and gently stroked her belly, imagining what the child would look like in his mind.
He smiled and said, "You are so good for not bothering mom. When you grow bigger in mom's belly, dad will tell you stories every day, okay?"
Tell a story?
Meng Sheng looked at his tenderness, gentleness and fatherly appearance, and he couldn't describe the feeling in his heart.
He seemed to be able to pretend that the affair had never happened.
It seemed that as long as she pretended not to know, they could still spend the rest of their lives together.
It’s a pity that she is not as noble and does not have the same acting talent as him.
I can't do it.
Meng Sheng forced himself to suppress the subtle mockery in his eyes, slapped his hand away, and said in a muffled voice, "Why are you in such a hurry? The baby is only a little over a month old."
Afraid that he might hear something, she urged him, "Go wash up quickly. I'm a little tired and want to sleep."
Pregnant women are most likely to feel sleepy and tired.
Shang Boyu chuckled, looked at her affectionately, raised his hand and ruffled her hair, "Okay, then you go to sleep first, no need to wait for me. Honey, I love you, you will always be the most important in my heart."
I don’t know if the last sentence was said to her or to confuse myself.
She had heard this sentence too many times.
Maybe what he said was true, he loved himself.
But it was also true that he was reluctant to part with Ning Weiwei's body.
unimportant.
Meng Sheng thought so in his heart, but he could only pretend to be angry and glared at him, "Okay, I know, go wash it quickly."
"good."
Watching him enter the bathroom, the smile on her face instantly cooled, and a deep sense of fatigue inexplicably surged over her.
Both body and mind.
The cell phone on the bedside table suddenly dinged.
[From this Sunday to next Thursday, Lu Ming will transport the ten kilograms of drugs back from Zhanglan City in six batches, still hiding them in fruits and imported snacks.]
Meng Sheng was stunned, and all the melancholy and complexity in his heart froze in an instant.
These days, there have been constant reports about the Honglan transport ship running aground and sinking.
The police issued a notice on the reason for the ship running aground the day before yesterday. The explanation was very official, but most netizens did not buy it.
In recent days, many families of the victims and the injured have held banners outside the Xie Group, demanding that the Xie Group give them justice and an explanation.
The Lu Group has hidden itself beautifully.
She didn't know whether the ten kilograms of drugs had a direct connection with the shipwreck, but it was no small matter.
Moreover, according to her analysis, the text message reminders were always intended to prevent her and Pei Sui from suffering loss of interests and harm.
Although she didn't know what kind of secret connection there was between her and Pei Sui, she still had to tell Pei Sui about it.
Beep!
A notification sound came from WeChat.
She gathered her thoughts and realized that it was Pei Sui's reply: [I will go to the men's prison tomorrow morning and will be back around one o'clock.]
Before Shang Boyu came back, she made an appointment with Pei Sui on WeChat to chat about Yueqi Textile's account books the next morning.
Come back around one o'clock?
By the time we finish discussing this matter, it will be at least two o'clock.
I don’t know when the play at Yuelan Mansion will start tomorrow.
Meng Sheng pondered for a while, then typed: [Regarding Lu Ming's 10 kilograms of drugs, I have new clues. Can we have lunch together tomorrow at noon and talk about it in person? ]
Pei Sui frowned on the other end of the phone.
New clues to drugs?
His eyes flashed, and he replied: [Send me the address.]
Meng Sheng searched for restaurants in Yuelan Mansion on the Internet. The nearest one was a Thai restaurant, but she didn’t like it.
Finally, she chose a seafood porridge restaurant and a barbecue restaurant, sent them to Pei Sui, and asked him which one he wanted to eat.
Pei Sui didn't like seafood very much, so he chose barbecue.
At around 12:40 noon the next day, Meng Sheng arrived at the barbecue restaurant early.
This store is less than a hundred meters away from the entrance of Yuelan Mansion. She deliberately chose a seat near the window so that she could see the entrance of the community, but not the whole thing.
She frowned, feeling a little disappointed.
I thought I could have a great angle to watch the show.
After waiting for about half an hour, Pei Sui appeared in her sight. The two of them greeted each other briefly and ordered the dishes.
After the waiter left, Meng Sheng sent him the real account books that he had taken photos of yesterday one by one.
“Is the chain of evidence complete now?”
Pei Sui carefully scanned every amount of money on it, thought about it and said, "It doesn't count, because you don't have the video evidence of the scene. It doesn't matter, as long as the police can catch them after reporting it."
He paused and looked up at her. "What you should do now is to completely get rid of your identity as a shareholder. Have you figured out how to do it?"
How to do it?
Meng Sheng's heart sank slightly.
The hand under the table unconsciously touched his abdomen.
In fact, she already had a general idea.
After Yu Qionghua finishes dealing with Ning Weiwei, they can take action.
Pei Sui noticed her movements and suddenly thought of her fake pregnancy.
Could it be that she wanted to...
He was about to say something when the waiter came over and served the food, and he had to swallow the words back.
Meng Sheng picked up a piece of pork belly and placed it on the baking tray. The oil was sizzling. Just as she was about to flip it over, the oil suddenly splashed onto the back of her hand. The slight pain made her subconsciously retract her hand.
Suddenly, a hand that was taller and broader than hers reached out.
Pei Sui took the clip and said, "I'll do it."
Meng Sheng was stunned for a moment, watching him skillfully turn the pork belly. When it was almost done, he cut it into small pieces with scissors and put them on her plate, then continued to roast the other meat.
She opened her mouth, an indescribable strangeness crept into her heart, and she smiled and said thank you.
After the dishes were served, she talked about the drugs. "From this Sunday to next Thursday, Lu Ming will transport the drugs from Zhanglan City back to Beijing City in six batches. But... I don't know the specific time and train number of his transportation."
Pei Sui paused while grilling the meat.
After returning from Zhanglan City, he was actually secretly investigating the matter, and did find out several people who had contact with Lu Ming, but as for where he hid the drugs, he had no clues.
Unexpectedly...
The doubts lingering in my mind have never dissipated.
How on earth did she know so much?
"That's enough. I'll find out the rest." The voice that came out of his lips was cold, but seemed to have a bit of warmth. "Thank you."
Today is Thursday, and there are still three days until Sunday.
It is not difficult to find out the transport vehicles under Lu’s name.
Meng Sheng was stunned.
This time... he still didn't ask her how she knew.
When did they become so trusting of each other?
She stuffed a piece of barbecue into her mouth and didn't think about the question further.
The two had almost finished eating, and when Meng Sheng was about to pay the bill, Pei Sui had already handed the card to the waiter.
Meng Sheng opened his mouth and said, "I should be the one to pay for this meal..."
"There is no should or shouldn't." Pei Sui put away the card, "Let's go."
It was already half past two when we came out of the barbecue restaurant.
The nearby parking lot was in the same direction as Yuelan Mansion. When the two walked over, they saw quite a few people gathered at the entrance of the community.
Meng Sheng saw the very conspicuous rose-red banner in the air from afar.
——The Ning family has a daughter, Ning Weiwei, who loves my husband deeply. As his legal wife, she has come to propose marriage and take a concubine on his behalf.
