Min Xi was quite satisfied, but remained silent. When she wanted to speak, her lips were sealed by Fu Yanzhou. The cut on the tip of his tongue healed, and he interacted with her lips and tongue and kissed her deeply.
Her body, which was originally stiff due to her unhappy mood, gradually softened under his kiss.
Min Xi put her arms around his neck and kissed him back with her lips.
Fu Yanzhou grabbed her left hand and held it, then he frowned, let go of her hand, and pinched the diamond ring on her ring finger.
Min Xi was kissing passionately, and both of them felt something. She suddenly stopped: "Why are you taking off my ring?" She bent her fingers to stop him reflexively, but she was half a beat too slow, and he had already taken off the ring.
Fu Yanzhou asked, "Who wears a ring when sleeping at night?"
Min Xi didn't say anything, probably she was the only one.
I have become accustomed to wearing it without realizing it and often forget to take it off.
Fu Yanzhou put the ring aside, put his hand under her neck, held her neck, kissed her lightly, and asked her in a sexy hoarse voice, "When are you going to work out with me?"
She had a weak constitution, so he could only restrain himself and space out the time between their sexual activities, giving her a night's rest in between. Even so, if she exceeded the frequency that night, she would still complain of back and leg pain the next day.
Min Xi has no plans to exercise, not now and not in the future.
She took the opportunity to ask, "When will you hold me for ten minutes before sex? Only hold me, nothing else. And when will you sleep with your arm resting on my head all night? When you do that, I promise to exercise."
I can't talk to her.
Fu Yanzhou didn't give her the chance to retort and kissed her lips again.
Min Xi took off the ring on her hand, feeling empty and not used to it.
It was not until he entered that Min Xi temporarily forgot about the ring.
When the dull and soft sounds in the room stopped, a string of sweat beads rolled down Min Xi's neck. It was unclear whether it was her sweat or Fu Yanzhou's.
Min Xi didn't care whether his body was sticky or not, he hugged him, put his face on his shoulder, and became a puddle of mud.
Fu Yanzhou rubbed her head and asked her to let go, as he was going to take a shower.
Min Xi was so tired that he didn't want to move. It was difficult for him to take his hands off his neck. He just wanted to close his eyes and rest.
Seeing that she didn't move, Fu Yanzhou thought she still wanted more.
He pushed forward again, but Min Xi put her legs together and pushed him away.
"I have to go to the company tomorrow." She didn't want to limp there.
Fu Yanzhou reached out to turn on the light and got up from her.
The bathroom is big enough for everyone to take their own shower.
Min Xi came out of the bathroom after drying her hair. Fu Yanzhou had already changed the bed sheets.
She didn't have to use his arm to sleep tonight. She was so tired that she fell asleep as soon as her head touched the pillow.
When she opened her eyes the next day, she suddenly remembered the ring.
Last night, Fu Yanzhou took off her ring and placed it directly next to the pillow. Later, the bed was a mess and he changed the sheets. I didn't see him put the ring away.
There was no one beside her, Fu Yanzhou got up early to exercise.
Min Xi didn't find her ring on the bedside table, and went to look for it on the jewelry table in the cloakroom, but it was nowhere to be found either.
Fu Yanzhou was downstairs and she called him.
"I lost my ring."
"Under the bed?"
“…I looked for it, but it wasn’t there!”
"It won't get lost. If you lose it, I'll buy you another one."
As the conversation was not going well, Min Xi hung up the phone.
After washing and putting on makeup, Fu Yanzhou came upstairs and she glanced at him in the makeup mirror.
Fu Yanzhou looked under the bed and even the carpet, but couldn't find it.
"Ask Auntie to arrange for someone to search the master bedroom thoroughly. The ring will not leave this bedroom."
Min Xi twisted out the lipstick and looked at him faintly while applying it: "You don't seem to care about the wedding ring. You think it's dispensable. If you lose it, just buy a new one."
“Don’t take anything that money can buy too seriously.”
"So in your eyes, what is worth cherishing?"
Fu Yanzhou picked up the ring box of his ring from the bedside table, took out the ring, and said, "A handmade gift."
Min Xi suddenly thought of something: "I want a handmade gift from you for my birthday next year."
Fu Yanzhou was putting a ring on his ring finger. He paused for half a second, then continued to push the ring to the base of his finger. He slowly raised his head and met her eyes in the mirror.
Hesitant to speak.
Min Xi saw that he was unwilling and did not force him.
"Just kidding." She put on her lipstick.
Fu Yanzhou put down the ring box and went downstairs.
Before leaving home, he did not forget to ask his aunt to find a wedding ring for Min Xi.
--
Since the day of engagement, Min Xi has never taken off her diamond ring. The ring is unique in style and large in size, and has always been a topic of conversation among the company's gossip group after dinner.
When she didn't wear it today, they started talking about it in private again.
"Something's going on."
"The marriage has changed? That's impossible. The wedding hasn't even taken place yet, and I haven't even seen what the groom looks like."
"It's fine if the marriage breaks down. She won't have any trouble finding a new partner. Maybe the next diamond ring she gets will be even bigger."
As the story spread, it changed its meaning and became about Min Xi's marital crisis and divorce.
It also reached Yu Chengtan's ears.
[Come to my office.] 】
Min Xi had just finished a team meeting when he received a message from Yu Chengtan.
She gave the notebook to her assistant and went directly to the president's office upstairs.
Yu Chengtan deliberately left the door open, so she knocked twice.
"Mr. Yu."
Yu Chengtan was making coffee and pointed to the sofa opposite him: "Sit down."
He personally brought the coffee to her and took a special look at her left hand. Her ring finger was empty, and the mark left by the ring from wearing it for a long time was no longer obvious.
The diamond ring was too big, and he even joked with her, asking if she would feel tired wearing it.
She smiled and said: Not tired. When the day comes when I get tired of it and don’t want to wear it anymore, that will be the time for me to get divorced.
During lunch, Secretary Ju Youyou was worried and told him: Sister Min didn't wear her big diamond ring today, and I don't know if what they said is true.
Considering what she said before, and the fact that she and Fu Yanzhou had no feelings for each other, divorce is not impossible.
"You said you were going to Jiangcheng last weekend. Are you sure you're going?"
Min Xi was bewildered: "I went there. Didn't I take pictures to show you?"
Yu Chengtan nodded, but said: "I took the photo on purpose, it seems like this place is so vast."
Min Xi smiled helplessly: "I made a mistake in reporting my itinerary."
She stopped laughing and asked, "What's going on?"
Yu Chengtan told him everything he had heard and thought, then picked up his coffee and drank it.
Min Xi didn't expect that they were more concerned about the ring than she was. The ring hadn't been found yet, so she had to lie: "It's a little loose when I wear it, so Fu Yanzhou asked someone to take it to the store to adjust the ring setting."
Yu Chengtan believed it for the time being. He had previously worried whether the divorce was caused by him: "I used Fu Yanzhou's name to secure a project for you from Shengshi Technology. I thought you had a conflict over this."
"How could that be? Fu Yanzhou knew about this and even played golf with Sheng Jianqi. If he hadn't come forward, the discussion of the plan yesterday afternoon might not have gone so smoothly."
Yu Chengtan felt relieved and asked her how her coffee was. He smiled and said, "I added two extra sugars to your cup today. Did you taste it?"
"I said why it's so sweet."
She only adds half a stick of sugar to her coffee and a small amount of fresh cream.
Yu Chengtan was probably worried that she was feeling sad because of her divorce, so he gave her more sweetness.
After the little coffee episode, they talked about the Shengshi Technology case.
Yu Chengtan: "We are lucky to have retained the big client, Shengshi Group, otherwise it might have fallen into the hands of Zhuoran Public Relations." In the industry, the only one with more experience than Jiachen Public Relations is Zhuoran Public Relations.
Min Xi didn't say anything while drinking coffee, he just nodded in response.
The founders of Zhuoran Public Relations are Zhu Youran’s parents, and now the company’s main business is managed by Zhu Youran and her brother Zhu Youzhuo.
It was because she and Zhu Youran were in the same industry that Fu Yanzhou asked her about Zhu Youran two years ago. The tenderness in his eyes at that time, and the way he spoke carefully and carefully, as if he had Zhu Youran in mind, were like a sharp knife waving at her.
Yu Chengtan saw that she was careless. He had known her for so many years, and she would never be distracted when talking to her about work. He suddenly wasn't sure whether she had really taken her wedding ring to exchange the ring setting.
"Are you free tonight? I'll treat you to dinner."
Min Xi came back to his senses: "I'll treat you some other day. Have dinner with my brother tonight."
Yu Chengtan joked: "That can only be done another day. I can't compete with your brother."
Min Ting is a sister complex, and everyone who knows him knows it.
After get off work, Min Xi took the ashtray he bought from Jiangcheng and went straight home.
Min Ting came back two minutes earlier than her. He had just entered the villa and had not had time to take off his coat when a car drove into the yard.
Min Xi rolled down the car window and shouted to the man in a black suit who walked out of the villa, "Brother, you're back so early."
"Just got home."
He had negotiations in the afternoon, so he rushed home immediately after coming down from the negotiation table, and even postponed his friend's card game in the evening.
Not only does Min Ting look somewhat similar to Min Xi, the two siblings also have similar temperaments. They are both cold and aloof, and their stern and deep faces only show gentleness in front of their family.
I said to my sister, "Get down, I'll stop the car."
He had long legs and he walked to the front of the car in a few steps while speaking and opened the driver's door.
As long as he is at home, Min Xi doesn't need to back the car into the parking space by himself, which also results in Min Xi's reversing skills being mediocre.
Min Xi unbuckled his seat belt and pressed the trunk button: "Please reverse the car. I need to get the gift."
"For me?"
"Yeah. An ashtray. I bought it in Jiangcheng. It's very special. It's for you to use to help you quit smoking."
Min Ting unbuttoned his suit and got into the car. "How special is that? There's a blackened lung painted on it?"
Min Xi was speechless and took out a gift box from the trunk. "One day, sit down with Fu Yanzhou and compete to see who can choke the other to death."
Min Ting parked the car and took the gift from his sister. When his eyes fell on his sister's hand, he paused and asked, "Did you have a fight with Fu Yanzhou?"
It's the ring's fault again.
Min Xi explained helplessly: "No. The ring was loose and kept falling off, so I took it to adjust the ring setting."
After entering the villa, Min Xi sent a message to Fu Yanzhou: [Has the ring been found yet? 】
Fu Yanzhou was signing, and only replied after signing the last document: [Found it. 】
[Then you didn’t tell me.] 】
[I was so busy that I forgot.] 】
Bai Shan picked up the documents and was about to leave, but Fu Yanzhou put down his phone and called her, "I want to ask you something."
"Mr. Fu, please tell me."
“Does your daughter often do handicrafts in kindergarten?”
Bai Shan's daughter is in the middle class this year. She has enrolled her daughter in a creative handicraft class. She makes new handicrafts every week, and occasionally she posts her daughter's masterpieces on WeChat Moments.
She smiled and replied, "Yes."
Fu Yanzhou asked: "Can you recommend a store that sells handmade materials?" He then briefly told Secretary Bai his requirements. The handmade items he wanted were not simply piecing together semi-finished products according to the instructions, but creative handmade items that required him to make and design them himself.
He said, “I’ll give it away.”
In order to make the recommendation easier, Bai Shan asked in detail: "What age of child should I give it to? Boy or girl?"
Fu Yanzhou: "…Not for a child. Min Xi wants a handmade gift, so I'll make one for her."
