Miss you
"Where are you going?"
"Keep it secret for now."
Passing by the living room, Xia Tangyue discovered that the carpet and sofa had been cleaned, and there was still a faint scent of lemon detergent in the air.
Her eyes swept over the gray knitted blanket draped over the armrest of the sofa. It was the blanket that Wen Zheng had placed under her last night, but now it was neatly folded.
The heat immediately swept over her cheeks. She took an unnatural step to escape from here, but Wen Zheng hugged her waist and asked softly in her ear, "Does it still hurt?"
boom!
Xia Tangyue felt the tip of her ear burning hot, as if a fire was running up her neck to her cheek. She turned her face away in panic, stammering, "No, it doesn't hurt."
Wen Zheng smiled lazily: "Really? But you said it hurt last night."
Xia Tangyue's scalp tingled, and his legs felt sore and he was so embarrassed that even the backs of his ears turned slightly red.
"It doesn't hurt anymore..." She shook her shoulders and tried to get out of Wen Zheng's arms, but he held her shoulders and turned around.
He stared at her.
"Then why is your face so red?"
Xia Tangyue snorted in annoyance, clenched his fist and punched Wen Zheng on the shoulder.
"You are not allowed to talk!"
Wen Zheng laughed out loud, kissed her gently between the eyebrows, and stroked her back gently: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore."
He let go of his hand, and Xia Tangyue immediately trotted back to his room.
The warm yellow light in the bathroom was spreading, and the mirror was covered with a thin layer of mist, just like her chaotic thoughts at the moment. She turned on the shower head, and the warm water flowed down from the top of her head, mixed with the steaming hot air to wrap her up, but it couldn't wash away the warmth of his palm that remained on her skin.
She closed her eyes and buried her face in the water, hearing her own heartbeat like a drum roaring in her ears, and her fingertips caressing her collarbone, where there was still a faint kiss mark.
That’s right!
She paused and opened her eyes in the water curtain.
They didn't do anything last night!
Although it is external, there is still a certain chance of being infected.
Oh no, oh no, is it too late to take contraceptives now?
Xia Tangyue came out wrapped in a bath towel and checked on his mobile phone. If it was emergency contraceptive pills, it would be okay to take them within 72 hours after sex, but the sooner the better.
She thought about it and decided to go out and buy it now. Unexpectedly, when she opened the bedroom door, Wen Zheng had already placed the medicine in a conspicuous place on the table and brought her a glass of warm water.
Xia Tangyue was a little stunned. Wen Zheng's eyes were gentle and he said, "Take the medicine first. I'm sorry, I didn't prepare it last night."
Xia Tangyue blushed with shame and took the medicine in silence.
After breakfast, the two went out.
Because today is the first day after the opening of the "Dream of the Butterfly" exhibition, it is very important, so Xia Tangyue needs to go back to the art museum first. On the way, she saw a box of cigarettes in the armrest box, and remembered the scene of Wen Zheng smoking, and asked.
"It seems that I rarely see you smoking."
"Well, I only smoke when I'm upset. I don't have a smoking habit normally."
Xia Tangyue touched his nose awkwardly. It seemed that "Mr. Qin" had a great impact on Wen Zheng...
Arriving at the art museum, Xia Tangyue asked Wen Zheng to wait for her while they rested. She went to check around and unexpectedly ran into Xi Na coming in with a big bouquet of flowers.
"Little girl." Xina handed the flowers to her with a smile, "Congratulations on your great success!"
"Eh?" After saying this, Xina noticed the person standing behind Xia Tangyue.
"Why are you two together so early in the morning?"
Xia Tangyue subconsciously looked back at Wen Zheng's expression, then held Xina's hand and pulled her away.
"What's wrong? You have an interesting expression." Xi Na raised her eyebrows jokingly, and the two returned to Xia Tangyue's independent office.
"Oh, so mysterious." Xina crossed her arms and glanced at Xia Tangyue: "Did my trick work? Wait..." As she spoke, she leaned over and lifted the hair that was draped over Xia Tangyue's neck.
"Oh my god, who bit me?"
Xina exclaimed in surprise, and then thinking of Wen Zheng who was outside, she said "Oh" in sudden realization.
Xia Tangyue's ears instantly turned red, which was considered as his agreement.
Xina smiled wickedly and blinked: "You two won't fight until dawn, will you? It's all over the collarbone, it's too fierce, you should take it easy, don't let your kidneys become weak."
"Hey!" Xia Tangyue gently pinched Xina's arm.
Xi Na smiled proudly: "I told you that this trick of mine would work. Remember to treat me to a meal. I want to eat king crab."
"knew."
The two sisters chattered for a while before Xia Tangyue said goodbye to Xina, took a tour of the museum, and left with Wen Zheng after making sure everything was normal.
Unexpectedly, Wen Zheng took her directly to the Bulgari store.
Seeing the salesgirl take out a set of necklaces, Xia Tangyue was a little surprised: "This is..."
In the VIP lounge, Wen Zheng took the necklace from the salesgirl and put it on Xia Tangyue's neck himself.
He leaned over to her ear and said, "Don't accept gifts from other men in the future. I can buy you anything you want."
Hundreds of diamonds were wrapped around the platinum snake's body, shining coldly under the light, and the texture of its scales was so delicate that it could reflect Xia Tangyue's stunned expression.
She didn't expect Wen Zheng to be so upset about this matter. Should she tell him that she was lying to him?
But doing so would be tantamount to selling out Xina.
No, no.
Nana is her good friend, she can't do this.
Let it be, it’s fake anyway, and Wen Zheng will forget about it after a while.
The salesgirl kept her professional smile and said, "This necklace is a limited edition this season. It is the only one in this store that has the black agate venom inlay technique. Mr. Wen, the snake series you ordered in the past were mostly made with red coral or malachite as the main stone. This one is a combination of South African diamonds and Apennine agate. We are the only store in the Asia-Pacific region that has three of them."
Xia Tangyue keenly noticed that there was something wrong with the salesgirl's words, and his expression immediately dimmed. He sat aside without saying a word.
Wen Zheng raised his eyes to look at the unhappy Xia Tangyue, tapped the edge of the glass display case with his fingertips, and said to the salesgirl calmly: "You go and get busy first."
When the footsteps disappeared around the corner, he sat down next to Xia Tangyue, picked up her hand, and asked softly, "Why are you unhappy?"
Xia Tangyue glared at him but still said nothing.
Wen Zheng suddenly hugged her, then exerted force with his hands and pulled her onto his thighs.
He chuckled and asked, "I was wondering if I've ever bought a necklace for another woman before?"
Xia Tangyue's heart trembled slightly, and his eyes revealed a few words: How do you know?
Wen Zheng moved his thighs and hugged her tighter: "Do you know what you look like now? A kitten with its fur standing on end."
Xia Tangyue held his breath, crossed his arms over his chest, straightened his back, and didn't get close to him.
"The salesgirl just said that you bought something here before, and it wasn't for a woman, so who was it for?"
Wen Zheng sighed faintly and squeezed her palm.
"In the past, I had to meet with many female clients at work. I didn't have time to choose gifts for them one by one, so I asked my secretary to help me choose. I didn't know that he also bought a necklace from this series here as a gift."
Hearing this, Xia Tangyue calmed down a little, and his tense shoulders relaxed a little.
Come to think of it, Wen Zheng used to be the president of LUMINOVA Group in Greater China. Now that he has reached this position, some personal interactions are inevitable.
However, this also leads to another problem.
Could it be that such an outstanding man had many girlfriends before?
Xia Tangyue's face fell again, and she met Wen Zheng's eyes sullenly.
"Have you had many girlfriends before?"
Wen Zheng: “?”
Xia Tangyue: "You are so good-looking, there must be a lot of women who like you, right? And you used to be the president of a big company, there must be a lot of people who would introduce you to other women and set you up on blind dates."
Wen Zheng pinched Xia Tangyue's angry little face helplessly.
"You will be disappointed. I have always been single and I have never been in a relationship."
Xia Tangyue was surprised, and after a while, he turned suspicious: "No way, are you trying to cheer me up?"
"No." Wen Zheng pinched her chin and made her face him.
"I have had blind dates before. Many clients wanted to introduce me to potential partners, but..." Wen Zheng started laughing as he spoke.
"Those white, rich and beautiful girls all dislike my poor family background. The occasional ones who don't dislike me also ask me to marry into their family, or ask me to find a lawyer to draft a dating agreement, stipulating that I can't use any of her family's resources during the relationship. Even using her father's company's printer to copy resumes will be charged per page."
Wen Zheng smiled and shook his head, his eyes full of ridicule: "The most outrageous thing is that there is a young lady who asked me to wear old clothes every time I go on a date with her, for fear that I would deliberately reveal my spending records in the malls she often goes to, so that others would mistakenly think that I was using her connections to expand my business."
"Heh..." He sneered softly.
"They think too much. In fact, I agreed to meet with them only for the sake of the client. After all, there will be future cooperation, and it is not easy to refuse too bluntly."
Xia Tangyue leaned towards Wen Zheng's shoulder in a daze, her fingertips grasping the dark lines on his shirt, her eyelashes trembling twice as she said, "This is too weird, what kind of people are they?"
Wen Zheng said calmly: "It's normal. When people reach a certain position, they will worry that their resources will be taken away by others. It's just that the form of expression is different."
Xia Tangyue still didn't quite believe it.
Because Wen Zheng was so handsome, she was fascinated by his face at first.
"Besides Bai Fumei, are there no other girls chasing you?"
Wen Zheng shook his head confidently: "No, they said I'm too handsome, and there must be a lot of women who like me, so they don't dare to pursue me."
“…”
Xia Tangyue was speechless for a moment, thinking back to when she was attracted to someone before, her mentality was similar, and she also subconsciously thought that a man like him should always be surrounded by beautiful women. If Xi Na hadn't encouraged her to confess, she probably wouldn't have taken this step.
"After asking so many questions, it's my turn, right?"
Although this was a question, Wen Zheng's tone sounded determined and there was no intention of negotiation.
He rubbed the bite marks on her neck, his tone firm, yet nonchalant.
"Who is Mr. Qin? How did you know him?"
It's over, there's no way this joke can be overcome. Xia Tangyue looked away guiltily, swallowed, and quickly thought of a countermeasure.
She didn't know anyone with the last name Qin, but if she made up a suitor and got caught later, wouldn't it be even more embarrassing? If Wen Zheng got hold of the evidence of her lying, he would probably laugh until his ears burned.
