Miss you
Wen Zheng looked at her, his eyes seemed to have a cluster of everlasting sparks, flickering in the bottom of his dark pupils. His Adam's apple rolled twice with difficulty: "I will take time to fly back every week to accompany you."
"Heh..." Xia Tangyue sneered: "Do you believe it when you say it?"
How busy is Wen Zheng?
I was so busy that I worked non-stop until 4 or 5 in the morning, and I was so busy that I fell asleep on the bed without even taking off my shoes. With such a work intensity, how could I possibly take time out every week to fly back to be with her?
Wen Zheng pursed his lips tightly: "I will try my best, believe me."
Xia Tangyue closed her eyes in pain. The bitter taste rushed straight to her nose. She tried to calm down and asked, "How long do you plan to stay in the United States? Half a year? Two years?"
"I..." Wen Zheng was rarely speechless.
Xia Tangyue opened her eyes and looked at him. Wen Zheng's reaction made her realize that he was determined to go to the United States.
She stood up suddenly, her shoulders shaking: "Do you mean that I should wait for you forever? What if you have to stay in the United States for the next five years and can't come back? Have you ever thought about me? Is Yaoying so important to you? So important that you would rather give up our relationship?"
"Brother, you were not like this before..." Xia Tangyue choked up, "You would rather quit your job than leave Yaoying, why are you willing to come back now? I just want to be with you, can you please not go to the United States? I don't want you to leave, brother..."
Xia Tangyue was totally unable to accept this fact. Her vision was blurred by tears. She stepped back step by step until her calves touched the edge of the coffee table. Wen Zheng reached out to support her, holding her in his arms, rubbing his chin on her shoulder like a warm and lazy grizzly bear.
"We will never separate. I have never thought about this." Wen Zheng said softly. He kissed her on the top of her head, hugged her back, and said in a steady voice: "Brother is still the same brother. Brother's love for you has never changed."
"The reason why I returned to Yaoying is because I am not strong enough. I don't have the ability to fully protect you."
Xia Tangyue cried and shook her head in his arms, grabbing the hem of his shirt with both hands: "But I don't want this, I just want to be like before, to be with you every day, and not to be apart, I really can't accept that you are going to the United States, please don't go, please don't go, I beg you, brother... If you are going to be gone for several years, what should I do?"
At this moment, Xia Tangyue suddenly realized what Chen Yanqiu said to her.
When two people are together, they must have a future.
What about her? Is there still a future for her and Wen Zheng? Can they get to the point of getting married?
Wen Zheng is the helmsman of a sought-after new energy empire, and his potential partners are all daughters of wealthy families with prominent backgrounds like Wu Yihe, while she is just an art curator who has just made her mark in the art circle.
Xia Tangyue gradually loosened his hand, which drooped weakly. He slowly raised his head and asked him, "Wen Zheng, have you ever thought about marrying me? When will we get married? Where will we live after marriage? Have you ever thought about these? Can we still get to this point?"
"I've thought about it." Wen Zheng said affirmatively, holding her tighter. After a while, he said in a deep voice, "It's just that now is not the right time. You believe me, okay?"
Xia Tangyue smiled bitterly: "How can you ask me to trust you? What can I trust you with? You are going to the United States now, and I don't know when you will come back or when you will settle down. You can't even make me such a promise, how can I believe that I can go to the end with you?"
She believed that Wen Zheng was sincere and loved her. But they were about to live apart, and she had no confidence that she could maintain this relationship. She was afraid that this relationship would end in vain, so she just said it out loud now.
Wen Zheng held her hand tightly without saying a word, and Xia Tangyue couldn't get rid of it. She was so angry that she yelled, "Let go, do you hear me? I want to go home!"
Her strength was just like a tickle for Wen Zheng, who had been exercising regularly. It did not pose any threat at all. He simply clamped her wrists and twisted them behind her back, forcing her to look up at him.
"Tang Yue."
He moved closer, and his warm breath sprayed on Xia Tangyue's face.
"This period of time is very important to me." He came closer, closed his eyes slightly, and touched the tip of his nose to hers: "I must set up a new R&D center as quickly as possible and kick Li Fu out. I can't let him threaten my current position."
He raised his hand and gently brushed the ends of Xia Tangyue's hair: "This involves a lot of capital games. It's not that I don't want to tell you about many things, but I don't want you to be dragged into these business quagmires, because these are my brother's responsibilities."
"I just want you to stay with me."
"Don't move, let me hold you for a while, I'm tired..." As he said that, he leaned directly on Xia Tangyue's shoulder.
His weight pressed down, bringing with it a faint scent of cedar and lingering cigarette smoke, and his deep breath brushed against her neck. Xia Tangyue could feel his tense muscles under his suit and his heavy breathing.
Xia Tangyue couldn't bear it and hugged him back.
quite a while--
"So when are you going to America?"
Wen Zheng straightened up and looked into her eyes: "Tomorrow."
Xia Tangyue's breath stagnated: "But tomorrow is my birthday, you won't even spend my birthday with me?"
Wen Zheng lowered his eyes, "I'm sorry."
Xia Tangyue's eyes turned red again.
What else could she say? She couldn't stop Wen Zheng from pursuing a better future.
On the way home.
Xia Tangyue said she wanted to go back to her home, but Wen Zheng turned a deaf ear to her. Xia Tangyue simply gave up struggling and let Wen Zheng take her back to the shore of the Bojiang River.
After being silent all the way, the two people went about their own business when they got home.
The previous quarrel seemed to have consumed all the passion between them, and the reality of their impending separation stood between them like an invisible film.
Xia Tangyue lay in bed for a long time, unable to fall asleep, feeling empty inside. She turned sideways, hugged the stuffed bear on the bedside, pinched the bear's ears hard, and pulled them again.
Exactly midnight.
It's your birthday.
The cell phone on the bedside table suddenly lit up - it was the birthday wishes sent to her by Xinaka, and the birthday red envelopes sent to her by her friends. Among so many people, Wen Zheng was the only one missing.
Doesn't he even want to say happy birthday to her?
Xia Tangyue put down his phone in disappointment. Just as he was about to lie back down on the bed, there were three knocks on the door.
Is it Wen Zheng?
She opened the door suspiciously.
The living room was lit up with azure ambient lights. Under the dim light, a "cake" made of three layers of paper cups was placed crookedly in the middle of the coffee table, with a half-melted birthday candle on the top.
Xia Tangyue was surprised: "What is this?"
Wen Zheng hugged her from behind and whispered in her ear, "Happy birthday, sister. Sorry, we were supposed to celebrate your birthday in France, but now we are in a hurry. If we order a cake at the last minute, we will miss the deadline, so I can only ask you to make do with it."
The candle flame flickered in Xia Tangyue's eyes. The thin paper cup could not support the weight of the candle and was about to fall when Wen Zheng caught it steadily.
"make a wish?"
Xia Tangyue squatted in front of the "cupcake" in a daze. Wen Zheng was right in front of her. The look in his eyes when he looked at her was as bright and warm as ever, just like the candlelight in front of him, shining in her whole world.
She closed her eyes and said devoutly, "I want Wen Zheng to stay with me forever, never leaving me."
call--
She blew out the candle, and the living room became darker. The sea-blue light traced Wen Zheng's eyebrows from bottom to top, casting a deep shadow on his tall nose. The collar of his untied bathrobe was open, revealing his well-defined collarbone. As he leaned over to clean the table, the fabric vaguely outlined the muscle contours of his chest.
Xia Tangyue rushed over and hugged him, then stood on tiptoes and kissed his lips.
Her kiss was passionate and clumsy, even knocking Wen Zheng's teeth, but it was like a spark falling into a haystack, instantly igniting Wen Zheng's long-suppressed desire. He took the initiative and held the back of her head, pushing open her flustered lips and teeth with the tip of his tongue, turning the immature collision into a lingering plunder.
Xia Tangyue stumbled backwards and fell on the sofa. His palm rested on the back of her head, and his nose brushed against her flushed cheek. The moonlight shone through and fell on the two people overlapping.
As he rushed forward, Wen Zheng slightly moved away from her lips and murmured, "Brother will help you realize your wish."
