Chapter 75: Turning the Hands to Change Clouds and Rains
Seeing how grand the occasion was today, Chen Qi secretly regretted that she had come here so hastily, and hurriedly stopped Xiao Wu.
"I'm fine, there's no need to call him. Xiao Ling found his things at home and didn't know if they were important, so she brought them to him. Why don't you keep them and see what happens? We'll go back first."
As she spoke, Chen Qi handed the note over, but Xiao Wu didn't take it, with a knowing smile in his eyes.
"Second Madam, you've come all this way, how can you just leave right away? Even though Second Master is busy and can't come out, it's good for you to go and see him. It won't be a wasted trip. Otherwise, if Second Master knows that you're leaving right after arriving, he'll kick me out again."
When Xiao Ling heard what he said, she rolled her eyes silently and retorted in a low voice.
"What's so good about this? Second Madam is at home every day, how could she not see Second Master? You're the only one who's always bothering me."
Xiao Wu was much taller than Xiao Ling. He looked down at her and plucked the small silk flower in her hair.
"Little girl, what do you know?"
Xiao Ling slapped his hand away.
He deliberately bared his teeth and tried to pull again.
Xiao Ling didn't say anything. She gave him a killing chicken neck-wiping gesture, and he withdrew his hand reluctantly.
Chen Qi pursed her lips and smiled. Seeing that the door was closed, she shook her head and said with a smile: "They are talking about serious matters. If we open the door, it will disturb them. Forget it."
Xiao Wu didn't say anything, just waved his hand slightly, indicating Chen Qi to follow him.
After taking three or two steps, he reached the end of the corridor and turned two doors. The noisy voices suddenly became louder and could be heard clearly.
Before my eyes was a brocade curtain.
Xiao Wu raised his chin and gestured to Chen Qi.
Behind this curtain is the hall where Mr. Xie meets with merchants from all over the world. This is the small side door of the hall.
Xiaowu has brought her all the way here, if she continues to be shy, she will be laughed at.
Chen Qi quietly lifted a corner of the curtain and looked carefully.
Merchants gathered and the place was bustling with activity.
Xie Yuduo sat in the highest position in the middle of the lobby.
He remained silent, looking down at everyone with a focused gaze, his fingertips tapping the table, his lips slightly raised in a faint smile.
His eyes were filled with the calmness and composure of someone who was in control of everything.
There was absolutely no trace of the tenderness and love they felt in bed.
Shen Qi was distracted for a moment.
That was clearly the person who clung to her bedside every day, but she felt a little strange as if they were strangers.
My heart was inexplicably moved.
Chen Qi gently closed the curtain and walked out.
Xie Yuduo was concentrating on listening to everyone's discussion and naturally didn't see her.
Chen Qi knew that after a business meeting, there would definitely be a banquet with toasts.
This was not something that could be resolved in a short time, so she handed the note to Xiao Wu'er and asked him to deal with it himself without giving it to the Second Master.
After going downstairs, she saw that Xie and the other waiters were very respectful. They asked Xiaowu to prepare two tables of delicious dishes from Wanxianglou when he was free, as a reward for their hard work over the past few days. She would pay for it herself and then go to the backyard to find Xiaoling to settle the bill.
Before leaving, Chen Qi reminded him that if the Second Master didn't ask, he didn't need to tell them that he had been there.
Xiao Wu nodded repeatedly in agreement and accompanied the two of them downstairs. He sent them all the way to the carriage. Only after seeing that the Xie family's carriage had turned around safely did he return to the restaurant.
Chen Qi took Xiao Ling home.
That night, she took a bath, played chess with Yu Jing for a while, and chatted with Xiao Ling until late at night. Seeing that he had not returned yet, she sent Xiao Ling to bed and went to bed herself.
I don’t know how long I slept, but in a daze, I suddenly heard some noise beside me.
She forced herself to open her eyes, and it was her husband who had returned.
Xie Yuduo didn't know how much wine he had drunk. His eyes were bleary and his eyebrows were flushed. He was leaning on the stool opposite the bed, groping to tear off his clothes, but he couldn't tear them off for a long time.
"Yue'er, I'm...back..."
He returned to his wife's bedroom, his drunken eyes lowered, whispering softly, clearly gentle and gullible, not at all like the calm and taciturn person he was during the day.
Chen Qi responded and hurriedly climbed down from the bed. Seeing that he had only taken off his outer robe and his shoes, with his long legs hanging down on the ground, she knew that he was really drunk.
She helped him take off his shoes first, then untied the belt around his waist to make him feel more relaxed.
Chen Qi wanted to help him back to bed, but she couldn't move! She had no choice but to take a pillow and help him sit on the spring stool. Then she went outside and poured him a large cup of warm tea that she had prepared in advance.
"Come, have some tea."
Originally worried that he would choke, Shen Qi reached out and carefully supported his head, but she didn't expect that this man was such a scoundrel that he fell on her shoulder.
When he was in her arms, he was willing to drink water obediently. I guess he was very thirsty. He took her hand and drank it all in one breath.
"I miss you so much... and want..."
"Okay, wait a minute, I'll pour you another glass."
Chen Qi was about to stand up when he grabbed her belt and she leaned back, almost falling on the stool. Her thin clothes were half wet by the water left at the bottom of the cup.
If it were in the past, Chen Qi would definitely be angry with him.
It was obvious that he had been very tired recently and was reluctant to leave. He managed to steady himself, tugged at his loosened collar, walked outside and poured himself another cup.
"Also, drink slowly."
When drinking the second glass of water, the man may have sobered up a little, and he started to act recklessly on purpose. He only drank half a glass, and his lips and tongue, still unsatisfied, refused to get close to the edge of the glass, but instead sucked her fingertips.
"Don't make trouble... take another sip, dear."
Chen Qi dodged his entanglement and wanted him to drink another sip, but he took her down and flipped her long legs to block the spring stool.
His Adam's apple rolled, his eyebrows and eyes were red, and he was clearly full of lust.
"I want... you."
The man spoke unclearly, but his movements were quick and decisive. He immediately pinned the man down, leaving him with no room to struggle or retreat.
Lean over and suppress.
"Okay...but...don't be impatient..."
turn a deaf ear.
…
He bit the torn piece of clothing in his mouth, and with one hand, he grabbed the slender hand that was blocking his way, and then he restrained it in the messy hair scattered on the spring stool like ink. The belt that had just been untied actually helped him a lot...
…
Perhaps it was because he was drunk, or perhaps it was because they hadn't seen each other for a long time, but this man was unusually willful and wanton.
This was a kind of roughness and arrogance rarely seen in the past.
In a trance, she thought of the strange man sitting alone in the high seat, silently tapping his fingertips. It was like turning his hand to make clouds and turning his hand to make rain...
…
The next day, the sky was just getting light.
Someone was already waiting outside the door.
Chen Qi felt sore all over. Just as she was about to stand up, someone pulled her back into his arms, causing her to grimace in pain.
"Let me go."
Didn't seem to hear it.
"You should get up..."
"No hurry, I'll sleep with you for a while."
He didn't even open his eyes.
Chen Qi looked at the precious floral patterns on the ceiling of the bed and breathed a sigh of relief.
I tossed and turned all night yesterday and only stopped when I returned to bed.
Seeing the pillow and mat under him in disarray, their clothes were scattered all over the floor, and he didn't know where the small clothes were stuffed. The skin at the corner of his mouth was sucked raw, and his whole body was covered with ridiculous marks.
There is something else on that spring bench... let's not talk about it.
