Chapter 21 The second day of finding my bed...
In the master bedroom, Song Xi was completely unaware of the conversation outside.
She lay on the bed and had a video call with Zhang Hening.
"Ningning, are you free tomorrow? Let's go shopping after get off work."
Jing Zhuo helped her move, picked her up from get off work, and helped her beat up that scumbag Chen Mian.
As a thank you, she also wanted to pick out some gifts for Jingzhuo.
Zhang Hening looked miserable: "I'll try to find time to look for you."
"My eldest brother has been acting crazy these past few days and wants me to work at his company. From now on, I will be a miserable ox or horse and will never be able to run freely again."
Song Xi's words could not comfort her.
She could only offer a suggestion: "Why don't you buy him some gifts and bribe him?"
"You're dreaming! He abused me, and I still gave him gifts. Am I such a cheap person? I can only curse him for being so cold-blooded and heartless, and never finding a wife in his lifetime."
Zhang Hening complained angrily for ten minutes, then hung up the phone and went to bed.
Song Xi was used to her treating him like this.
From high school to college to graduation, she had listened to Zhang Hening complain about men for almost ten years.
After ten years of experience, except for not meeting the mysterious big brother, she has almost... understood him thoroughly from his personality to his hobbies, from his methods to his bottom line.
The cold-blooded brother has been acting like a bad person again recently~
She put away her phone, lay down in bed, smelled the faint pine scent emanating from the quilt, turned off the lights, and closed her eyes.
The second day of getting used to my bed... I hope I can have a good sleep!
-
The next morning, when Song Xi woke up, there was no one in the room.
There was a WeChat message on the phone, which was left by Jingzhuo at six o'clock.
"Breakfast is in the kitchen. There's hot milk on the table. I have a morning meeting, so I'll go to the office first."
Song Xi went out and saw a breakfast in the incubator in the kitchen, including boiled eggs, sandwiches, corn, purple sweet potatoes, custard buns, beef and chicken breast, porridge and milk.
There are many kinds of things.
These are the kinds of food she likes to eat on a daily basis.
I don't know how he prepared it.
Song Xi silently felt that in just two days, his position in her heart was almost catching up with Aunt Wang of He's house.
She brought breakfast to the table, and while nibbling on a custard bun, she sent a WeChat message to Jingzhuo.
"I'm awake, thank you for breakfast~"
The meeting had just ended, and when Jing Zhuo stood up, he glanced at the pinned message on his phone. She had also sent a photo, and she had finished some of each food.
Give him a lot of face.
Jing Zhuo frowned and raised his lips slightly.
"Brother, what are you looking at so happily? Did our stock price go up?"
A curious head came close to my ear, with a gossipy look in his eyes.
Jing Zhuo quickly turned off his phone and pushed Zhang Hening's big head away with an expressionless face.
"Your workstation is across from Special Assistant Chen. Go ahead, work hard, and don't gossip."
“…”
Zhang Hening is full of hatred: With such a bad personality, he deserves to be alone!
After get off work in the evening, Song Xi waited at the company gate for a while and saw Zhang Hening coming in late.
Zhang Hening, a worker, drove his mini BMW all the way to Ginza Shopping Mall.
When she heard that she wanted to buy a tie for her husband, Zhang Hening said that it was no problem. She had been used to seeing his father and brother's dressing style since she was a child, and she knew it very well.
"This is the brand my brother often uses. He's been in the business world for many years, he's smart and thoughtful, so he must have a certain amount of thought behind his outfit."
Zhang Hening stood in front of the counter and directly copied her elder brother's preferences.
Song Xi has seen this brand before.
It is indeed a niche but valuable brand.
When she lived with her uncle, she saw her uncle wearing cufflinks of this brand. They were simple and low-key but not cheap.
The design sense also matches Jingzhuo's temperament.
The two began to choose colors.
"Of course the wedding gift should be red." Zhang Hening pointed to a red tie with a dark pattern in the middle. "It symbolizes good luck, good fortune, and prosperity. What a wonderful meaning."
Song Xi's eyes fell on the dark red tie.
Very delicate and beautiful.
In her memory, Jing Zhuo never seemed to wear red accessories, and his closet did not have such colors.
But she inexplicably felt that this touch of red had a unique flavor against his cool, three-dimensional handsome face.
So Song Xi raised his mobile phone, checked out and took the goods.
Passing by the watch area, she took a fancy to another watch.
Zhang Hening stopped her in time: "Gifts should be given separately. You gave them all at once. What should you give next time?"
Song Xi: "But he gave me several gifts at once, shouldn't I give something in return?"
"That's because he has money, so he can give as much as he wants. We don't have money, so what's wrong with giving less? You're getting married, not going bankrupt!"
Zhang Hening kept an eye on her wallet.
You can cheat on someone for sex, but you can’t cheat on them for money!
In her worldview: money is a woman's strongest support, and she has to weigh whether it is worth spending an extra penny on a man.
Song Xi was pulled back by her and put away the card.
"Then I'll give you one first..."
She really didn't have much savings, so she had to be frugal with the money she gave.
The two had dinner, and around nine o'clock, Song Xi went home with a gift.
When he got home, Jing Zhuo had not returned yet. Song Xi went to the bathroom to take a shower and sat on the sofa waiting for a while.
He still didn't come back.
At eleven o'clock, she couldn't wait any longer, so she put the tie box on the coffee table and went back to her room to sleep.
Jing Zhuo saw the gift box in the living room when he came back in the evening.
There was a drinking party tonight and he drank two extra glasses. When he leaned back on the sofa to rest, he glanced and saw the box on the coffee table.
He opened it and inside was a dark red tie.
A brand he often uses on a daily basis.
This is a gift for him.
Song Xi gave him a gift.
Jing Zhuo held the tie and looked at it for a long time, wanting to talk to her, but the master bedroom was quiet and everyone was asleep.
He opened his phone and typed in the search box: What does it mean to receive a tie?
The first answer below: It means you have an extra tie.
Jing Zhuo deleted the search box expressionlessly.
Changed a few more words: What does it mean when a woman gives a man a tie?
The following AI answer is generated:
1. It represents the woman’s deep concern for the man.
2. It means that the other party wants to trap you tightly.
3. If she wants to marry you, she will give you a red tie, which means long-lasting love and that you belong only to her.
Jing Zhuo stared at the lines of words and took a screenshot.
Then he sent it to his childhood friends group along with the photo of the tie and the screenshot.
Jing Zhuo: "Don't ask me out for drinks next time. My boss at home doesn't like it and is hinting at me."
Childhood friend A: “?”
Childhood friend B: “???”
Childhood friend C: “???”
