Min Xi waited until Fu Yanzhou's lips left before she exhaled normally. She couldn't help but swallow dryly in her throat. She secretly laughed at herself for being useless. It's not like she had never kissed before. It was just a shrimp. Why was her breathing unstable?
After some mental preparation, she began to chew the shrimp slowly.
Fu Yanzhou sat up straight, put his fingertips on his collar and loosened his tie.
No one broke the silence.
He just ordered a salad for Min Xi, and the front desk replied that it would be delivered in ten minutes.
He glanced at Min Xi. She was wearing a backless nightgown. She would need to change clothes and open the door when the staff came to deliver the meal. He sent a message to Yan Heyu: [I'll be there in ten minutes. 】
Yan Heyu: [Everyone is waiting for you to talk about investment intentions, where have you been? 】
Fu Yanzhou said: [Accompany Min Xi and don’t let her down. 】
Yan Heyu: “…”
[Can’t you learn something good from Min Xi? Do you have to learn to be sarcastic like her? 】
Fu Yanzhou laughed dumbly and didn't respond.
Min Xi tilted his head: "What are you laughing at?"
Fu Yanzhou told her the truth without caring: "Yan Heyu told me not to learn your weird ways."
"Why are you talking about me?"
"See for yourself."
Fu Yanzhou opened the dialog box and placed the phone on the table in front of her.
Min Xi looked at the chat history between him and Yan Heyu and got to the point: "Why did you emphasize not to let me down?"
She moved her eyes from the phone screen to his face: "Have you ever let me down before?"
Fu Yanzhou looked at her: "What do you think? Yan Heyu said that although you have a bad temper, you are married, so he asked me not to let you down."
Min Xi thought it was no big deal. He and Yan Heyu often sabotaged each other and bullied each other. She was used to it and returned the phone to him.
Fu Yanzhou turned off his phone and put it aside. "How can you have such a bad temper and yet so many people side with you and speak for you?" Even Yan Heyu spoke for her.
Min Xi pretended to think, picked up the soup at hand and took a few sips before saying, "Maybe this is the charm of personality."
Fu Yanzhou: “…”
I am speechless.
The wait for the meal was long. He glanced at his watch and saw that the salad would take at least five minutes to arrive. There was enough time, so he talked about Lu Zhen's mother wanting to do an in-depth report on Lingyu Group.
A few simple sentences explained the whole story, including the rumors that he was dating Lu Zhen.
Min Xi didn't know Lu Zhen, but after marriage, she heard from others that Lu Zhen was Fu Yanzhou's ex-girlfriend, who was beautiful, open-minded and insightful. Uncle Lu Zhen had cooperation with Fu Yanzhou's company, so the two must have met each other through Uncle Lu Zhen.
She said, "Since it's a misunderstanding, just talk it out."
A moment of silence.
She said sincerely, "Can we be frank today? If you have anything to ask me, I will tell you honestly."
Fu Yanzhou couldn't guess what she was planning: "What do you want to hear?"
"How many girlfriends have you had?" She couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
Fu Yanzhou's eyes were gloomy: "
I have several girlfriends, don't you know? ”
Min Xi was very sure: "I don't know."
She was a few years younger than him. He had already graduated when she was in the first year of high school. They had no interactions in high school and their universities were not in the same place. If he had a girlfriend while in school and didn't make it public, how could she know?
"You haven't dated anyone?"
However, before she could get the answer she was expecting, he said, "I dated someone, but it was very short."
Bitterness, sorrow and sadness intertwined and slammed into her internal organs, drowning her in an instant.
Min Xi pretended to be relaxed: "Do I know him?"
Fu Yanzhou nodded: "I know him."
Min Xi had a hunch that the girlfriend he was dating was Zhu Youran. He and Zhu Youran were alumni during their master's degree studies and were also in the same college. They had overlapping professional courses and could often run into each other.
Because they didn’t date for long, they may not have made it public.
He liked Zhu Youran, so why did they break up?
She unconsciously let her thoughts wander and began to imagine the reasons for their breakup.
Fu Yanzhou was still waiting for her to continue asking questions, but she pretended to pick up the soup bowl and drink the soup.
Her expression was extremely unnatural. She was clearly upset, but she was pretending not to care. He pointed it out to her: "If you are unhappy, just say it directly."
Min Xi flatly denied: "I'm not unhappy."
She laughed and said, "I'm thinking about who I know who might have dated you."
Fu Yanzhou's eyes were intriguing: "Then think about it slowly."
Min Xi refused to admit that he felt uncomfortable, but he felt like needles were stabbing him in the heart.
Fu Yanzhou stopped teasing her and said, "We've been dating for a little over two weeks, and then we got the marriage certificate."
Min Xi looked up at him in surprise. It turned out that the girlfriend he was talking about was her.
My heart suddenly felt relaxed, and all the bitterness and pain receded like the tide.
She glared at Fu Yanzhou, blaming him for keeping her in suspense, and lowered her head to continue drinking her soup.
Fu Yanzhou looked at her and said, "You are curious about my past and you want me to tell the truth. What if the truth I tell is not what you want to hear and you are unhappy, you will make up your own mind in the future. You are a typical person who makes trouble for no reason. Why do you do this?"
Min Xi tried to save face: "I just woke up and my brain wasn't working enough, so I asked." In fact, she regretted asking.
"Min Xi, don't focus too much on the past. Instead, spend this time thinking about how the two of us can peacefully spend the next fifty or sixty years."
He never asked about her past, never asked who she had in her heart, and never curious about whether she had a boyfriend when she was in school. It was not that he didn't care, but there was no need to.
He knows that possessiveness is human nature and exists in any relationship. Possessiveness is the strongest in love. Even in a relationship like the one between him and Min Xi, which has little affection, there will be more or less possessiveness.
So there is no need to focus on the past.
The doorbell rang and Fu Yanzhou went to get the food.
The topic just went off track and I didn't mention the special report on Lu Zhen's mother for a long time.
Fu Yanzhou put the shrimp salad next to her and asked her what she thought. If she didn't want to, he would refuse Lu Zhen.
Min Xi forked a shrimp and ate it, saying cheerfully: "I have no objection. Besides, her uncle is cooperating with you."
In this matter, her focus always surprised Fu Yanzhou. She asked, "Do you admire Lu Zhen?"
"Not bad." Fu Yanzhou said, "I appreciate you even more. After all, you have charisma."
Min Xi was so angry that she laughed. Don't think she couldn't hear the sarcasm in his words.
She dropped her fork and stood up, ready to fight him.
Fu Yanzhou forced her to sit down, smiled and kissed her on the lips, and for the first time he lowered his attitude to coax her: "Okay, okay."
"Yan Heyu and the others are waiting for me." He took this opportunity to leave.
--
They returned to Beijing the next evening. Min Xi got up early the next morning and used the morning to visit the characteristic places in Jiangcheng.
Fu Yanzhou was busy with work, so she went shopping alone.
The shops on Jiangcheng Ancient Street each have their own characteristics, and Min Xi visited each one.
After leaving the tea shop, she went into the porcelain shop next door. The owner, who was in his eighties, was the only one in the shop.
The boss has silver hair and is looking at his mobile phone with a magnifying glass.
When someone came in, he slowly raised his head and said kindly, "Feel free to look around, and call me if you like anything."
All the porcelain is locked in display cabinets, each piece is exquisite.
Of course, the price is not cheap.
Min Xi strolled around without any purpose and bought whatever he saw.
She paused in front of an ashtray.
The color and design of the ashtray in front of her were the most special of all the ashtrays she had ever seen, and every color exuded a sense of luxury.
Without hesitation, she bought it.
I didn't return to the hotel until noon and only bought an ashtray.
Fu Yanzhou had just finished his work and was waiting for her to have lunch.
She was holding a gift box, and he asked, "What did you buy?"
"ashtray."
Fu Yanzhou thought it was bought for him, so he held out his hand: "Let me see."
Min Xi didn't give it to him and put the gift box on the table: "It's for my brother. The store owner has packed it. It's too troublesome to unpack it and then pack it again."
Fu Yanzhou's hand hung in the air for a few seconds, then he withdrew it awkwardly.
He glanced at the gift box and said calmly, "Min Ting needs an ashtray?"
"No shortage. He smokes more than you, so give him an ashtray to remind him to smoke less." Min Xi was thirsty, so he picked up the water cup on the table and drank half of it in one breath without noticing the change in Fu Yanzhou's expression.
--
On the plane back, Min Xi turned on his computer and went through Shengshi Technology's new solution ideas from beginning to end.
After considering the entire flight time and the plane landing, she still felt that the new plan was not as good as the first version and was a little lacking.
But the first version of the plan was criticized by Sheng Jianqi as being completely useless.
If she gave Sheng Jianqi the original plan, what would Sheng Jianqi's reaction be?
Don't be mad at her.
But she was unwilling to give up the first version of the plan.
After struggling internally for a while, the car to pick them up finally arrived.
After getting in the car, Min Xi leaned against the window, staring out the window in a daze.
"Do you regret asking me for help, Lu Zhen? It's not too late to regret it."
Min Xi only heard the second half of the sentence, turned to look at Fu Yanzhou, his eyes blank: "What did you say?"
Fu Yanzhou: "Do you want to change your mind about Lu Zhen asking me for help?"
Min Xi was confused: "Why did you change your mind?"
Fu Yanzhou said: "My mother often goes back on her promise to my father the next day." Then his mother would be unhappy in many ways, and his father would have no choice but to say a lot of nice things and coax her for a long time before she would be satisfied.
Having seen a lot since childhood, he learned from his parents' experience and lessons and decided not to repeat his father's mistakes. For some things, Min Xi should be given a day to regret in order to avoid unnecessary conflicts between husband and wife.
Min Xi: "…There is nothing to regret, just reply to Lu Zhen."
Fu Yanzhou did not contact Lu Zhen himself, but asked Secretary Bai to reply on his behalf. Secretary Bai was also fully responsible for the special report.
Min Xi continued to struggle with the problem of her plan. Should she give the new plan to Sheng Jianqi, or give the old plan that he rejected?
When the car drove into the villa yard, she sent an email to Sheng Jianqi's secretary to make an appointment for Sheng Jianqi's free time on Monday.
She decided to use the original version of the plan.
As soon as she got off the bus, she received a reply to her email.
Sheng Jian said to Secretary Qi: "Mr. Sheng has an appointment to play golf tomorrow afternoon. It's not certain when it will end. He also has other social engagements at 8pm. 】
Min Xi understood that there was some free time after playing golf until eight o'clock.
She walked and typed: [Which golf course? I'll go over and wait for Mr. Sheng. 】
After deciding on the club’s name, Min Xi put away his phone.
I spent another two hours in the evening going over the details of the plan, printing them out and binding them.
She was unsure when she took the rejected plan to Sheng Jianqi.
When Yu Chengtan learned that she had an appointment with Sheng Jianqi tomorrow afternoon and that he was still using the same plan, instead of pouring cold water on her, he told her to relax: [When water comes, cover it with earth. 】
[Thank you, Mr. Yu.] 】
Min Xi turned off the computer and went to take a bath to relax.
After coming out of the bath, Fu Yanzhou was sitting on the sofa in the bedroom reading documents. Min Xi took off her flip flops and sat down next to him. She raised her legs and placed them on his thighs.
Fu Yanzhou was handling his work. He tilted his head to look at her and said, "Sit down."
As he spoke, he grabbed her ankles and was about to take her legs off. Min Xi reminded him slowly, "You said you would not let me down."
Fu Yanzhou: “…”
He had no choice but to let go and keep her legs on him.
