Chapter 43 Hold Him Tight
Shen Yueting looks very young.
When she was going down the stairs, she was tilting her head to talk to Meng Qingyan, leaving only her tall and slender silhouette. Her big brown waves covered most of her face, making it even harder to tell her age.
Bai You originally thought that Meng Qingyan came here to dine with a female companion, but when he heard his address, he was slightly stunned.
"This is Bai You." As if he found Bai You's expression a little funny, Meng Qingyan curled the corners of his lips slightly and introduced him to his mother.
"Hello," Bai You took a step forward and addressed him politely, but at the same time he kept a distance, "Mrs. Meng."
Shen Yueting has a graceful and noble temperament, but her speech and behavior are kind and gentle.
She looked at Bai You with a smile, her eyes and eyebrows full of gentleness and kindness.
Only when you get very close can you see that the pair of peach blossom eyes that are very similar to Meng Qingyan's are stained with the subtle traces of time.
"Hello, I'm Shen Yueting," she said, her voice gentle and pleasant, and asked with a smile, "It's not easy to work with Qing Yan, right?"
"No," Bai You said immediately, praising Meng Qingyan, "Teacher Meng is very professional and dedicated. I have benefited a lot from working with Teacher Meng."
Hearing this, Meng Qingyan smiled slightly under his slightly drooped eyelashes.
Shen Yueting also laughed and praised Bai You: "How come you are so good-looking and sweet?"
Bai You is often praised for her good looks, but this is the first time she has been sweet-mouthed. She pursed her lips for a moment and said nothing.
"Want to join us?" Meng Qingyan looked down at him, the corners of his mouth raised up a little, "Ask your friends to join us."
"No, thank you, Mr. Meng and Mrs. Meng." Bai You politely declined and looked at Qiu Wan and He Yuan who were waiting for him in the back. "I already made an appointment with them. It's really inconvenient to disturb them."
Thinking of Qiu Wan, Bai You paused.
Meng Qingyan had mentioned to him before that Tianying had a project that was very suitable for Qiu Wan.
Although he didn't know whether Qiu Wan was invited to audition because of Meng Qingyan, he was still grateful to him.
So he added, "Qiu Wan has just been cast as the female lead in Yan Wu, let's celebrate for her tonight."
"Well," Meng Qingyan nodded slightly, and after a moment he said, "Go ahead."
Bai You then said goodbye to Shen Yueting again and turned around to walk in the opposite direction of Meng's mother and son.
"Oh my god," He Yuan finally couldn't help but let out a long sigh after walking out of the elevator. He raised his hand and patted his chest, "Meng Qingyan's aura is too strong. I dare not cooperate with him in this life."
Qiu Wan seemed to be thinking about something and never spoke.
It was not until they entered the private room that she asked, "Youyou, is there something going on between you and Meng Qingyan?"
"How can that be possible?" Before Bai You could say anything, He Yuan had already given a negative answer, "He has always disliked associating with those rich kids, and the other party is Meng Qingyan, who would want to be with 'someone else's kid'? Isn't that courting death?"
It does make sense, but Qiu Wan still finds it strange.
"I always feel that although Meng Qingyan is very gentlemanly, he is very cold. He is not the type of person who would introduce his colleagues to his mother." She muttered softly.
hehe……
Bai You smiled bitterly in his heart.
It’s not actually that strange to introduce a co-worker to your mom.
But it would be strange to introduce your sex partner to your mother and invite her to have dinner with you.
To be honest, he seemed to have never seen through Meng Qingyan's thoughts.
Is it to put yourself out there and maintain a long-term relationship?
But soon, Bai You denied his idea.
Not only is there a huge gap between the two's identities, but also, judging by the things he kept in his cloakroom, he should be waiting for someone.
This kind of relationship between them can only be carried out secretly and can never be exposed to the public.
Bai You rang the bell to order, and He Yuan and Qiu Wan's attention was quickly focused on the menu.
There is a reason why InterContinental's food is expensive, almost every dish is delicious.
Especially the coconut milk red bean ice after the meal is sweet and refreshing.
The three of them hadn't seen each other for a long time, and each of them had many topics to talk about and many things they wanted to share.
Therefore, it was not until after nine o'clock in the evening that everyone was satisfied.
"By the way," He Yuan suddenly remembered something while they were chatting, "The last time you were photographed, why did you suddenly make an appointment with someone from Meng's Jewelry?"
Thinking of the kiss mark, He Yuan paused for a moment, but couldn't help gossiping: "How does it feel to be kissed by Meng Qingyan?"
"Not bad." Bai You said perfunctorily.
"I can only imagine how others kiss him, but I can't imagine how he kisses others." Qiu Wan also laughed, "God Meng is a little too cold."
"If you want to know," Bai You took the opportunity to recommend, "then come and see Building No. 8."
"We'll book the whole place for you then." He Yuan said with a smile, forgetting the question he had raised before.
"It's almost ten o'clock, let's go," Qiu Wan looked at the watch, "Youyou just came back today, we have to start work again after a day of rest."
The three of them got up and went downstairs to pay the bill.
After I gave the room number to the front desk, the receptionist smiled and said, "Mr. Gang Meng has already been married in this room."
In an instant, not only Qiu Wan, but even He Yuan looked over meaningfully.
"Tell me about it." After getting into the car and sitting firmly, Qiu Wan spoke first, "Did he bully you? Otherwise, why do you feel so guilty?"
This time, He Yuan did not deny it for him. He looked at Bai You curiously and said, "I remember you are single."
Bai You: “…”
"Is it possible," Bai You pondered for a moment, "that we are just colleagues?"
"How is that possible?" Qiu Wan said, "Although Meng Qingyan is rich, there is no way he would pay for his colleagues."
Bai You was amused: "You seem to know him very well."
"With his status and position, if he is still so warm-hearted, wouldn't it be easy for people to misunderstand that he has obtained some extraordinary pass?" Qiu Wan said, "According to colleagues I have worked with, he has a strong sense of boundaries with his co-actors, and there is almost no communication between them outside of work."
Bai You: “…”
The Meng Qingyan mentioned by Qiu Wan sounded a little strange to him.
But if you think about it carefully, Meng Qingyan rarely gets close to anyone in the group.
Even Tang Tang, even though this is their second collaboration and they were a couple in "Burning Heart" with a lot of rival scenes, are now just nodding acquaintances.
"Is it possible that he is attracted to our Yu?" He Yuan was dreaming, "In terms of appearance alone, there is indeed no one more suitable than you two."
"How is that possible?" Bai You immediately poured a basin of cold water over him.
"I don't want to interfere with you," Qiu Wan softened her voice, "I'm just worried about you. Don't let yourself get out of the wolf's den and fall into the tiger's mouth again. Unlike Feng Yu and the others, Meng Qingyan is the one who can truly cover the sky with one hand."
Bai You actually had no intention of hiding it from Qiu Wan and He Yuan.
The three of them have supported each other for so many years, and strictly speaking, there are actually no big secrets between them.
However, the matter also concerns Meng Qingyan.
It not only concerns his reputation, but also his future life.
If one day, the person he is waiting for comes back, and such a scandal suddenly breaks out, it may cause an irreparable rift between them.
Bai You suddenly felt that the relationship between him and Meng Qingyan started too hastily.
We didn't think about anything at the beginning, but we got together by chance. We were both single and had mutual needs, so we hit it off.
But now, he has discovered someone else's incredible secret.
Obviously I didn't do anything wrong, but I still feel guilty.
"How is that possible?" He smiled, very calmly, "I don't even allow others to bully you, so how could anyone bully me?"
Hearing this, Qiu Wan finally breathed a sigh of relief. She had always believed in him.
At the same time, Meng Shizhao stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window on the third floor, watching the taillights of the black Bentley speeding away.
It passed through half of the peach forest and disappeared from sight.
The door opened and Shen Yueting walked in.
Meng Shizhao then turned around and asked, "How are InterContinental's new dishes?"
"Not bad." Shen Yueting sat down with a smile, "Let my son take you there next time."
"I still care about him?" Meng Shizhao said, but after all, he was his son in old age, so he didn't say anything hard and asked, "Why did he go back so late?"
Shen Yueting tilted his head and thought for a moment, then smiled: "I probably know who this child has in mind."
"He said so?" Meng Shizhao was curious, "Isn't it the girl named Tang?"
At that time, Meng Qingyan suddenly came to ask for donkey-hide gelatin paste, which was unusual for him, and Tang Tang and he were the only partners in the group.
The little girl lived up to her name and was sweet-looking, so Shen Yueting once thought it should be her.
But after meeting Bai You today, she realized that she had been wrong all along.
"It's just that I think," Shen Yueting was a little unsure, "that kid doesn't seem to have that kind of intention towards Yanyan."
Hearing this, Meng Shizhao couldn't help but laugh.
"He should," he said, "have a taste of what it's like to be in the hot seat."
"Alright," Shen Yueting said with a smile, "Looking back, you're the one who's feeling bad first."
She took out her phone and looked at the calendar. "When Yangyang has his summer vacation, I'll take him to the group to check it out and say a few good words for our son. Maybe it will work out."

When returning to your residence from Intercontinental, you need to pass through "One Grid."
It was a little past ten o'clock, and in a sense, the nightclub of "Yi Ge" had just kicked off. At this moment, there was a lot of traffic in front of the door, and the closer you got, the more congested it became.
Noticing that Bai You's eyes were on the colorful light sign of "Yi Ge", He Yuan smiled and said, "Next time we get together, I'll reserve a room in advance and invite you two to come over for a drink."
"I guess we'll have to wait until Youyou finishes filming this drama," said Qiu Wan.
"Very soon." Bai You smiled and calmly withdrew his gaze.
The three of them lived relatively close together, not too far from each other. He Yuan sent Qiu Wan back first, and then sent Bai You back.
It was almost eleven o'clock when the car arrived at the gate of the community.
Bai You jumped out of the car and watched He Yuan's car disappear at the intersection ahead before turning around and going in.
The summer nights are very comfortable, with bright moonlight, gentle evening breeze, and the sound of fountain water and the chirping of insects.
Bai Youxie did not go upstairs, but sat down on the bench next to the fountain, took out his mobile phone, and looked at Xiaoliang's photos and videos.
Not a lot.
Some of them were taken by him himself, while others were transferred to him by Meng Qingyan.
The photos are in a separate album and sorted by time. It is obvious how Xiaoliang got fatter from being thin.
"How annoying." Bai You muttered softly, "How come even cats become cuter when they go to Meng Qingyan's place?"
There were light footsteps approaching from afar, but Bai You didn't pay much attention.
The security in the neighborhood has always been good, so he just thought it was a neighbor who had not returned home from enjoying the cool air on a summer night.
But soon, the footsteps stopped in front of him, and a faint smell of cedar wafted around his nose with the night wind.
The light from the phone was very bright, and his eyes were a little blurry when he looked away, but soon, Bai You could see clearly the black leather shoes in front of him.
His gaze moved upwards little by little, first to the slender legs, then to the slender waistline, and further up, to the snow-white shirt and Meng Qingyan's handsome face.
"Teacher Bai, why are you so defenseless?" Meng Qingyan looked down at him, "Are you not afraid that I'm a bad person?"
Bai You was a little surprised, and after a while he asked, "Why are you here?"
It wasn't surprising that Meng Qingyan came to see him.
After all, this man is lustful, and I've been away for several days. It's a rare occasion that we're both out today, so it's normal for him to come and spend the night.
But even so, he should have been waiting upstairs for him to come home.
Instead of in the empty square in the community at night.
"I saw you coming back upstairs," Meng Qingyan whispered, "but I waited for a long time and you didn't come up."
The evening breeze blew, and the leaves rustled. Bai You was not sure if he really heard what Meng Qingyan said clearly.
His residence is on the 10th floor, which is high enough.
He didn't believe that on a night like this, with the little moonlight and the dim street lights in the distance, someone could recognize him from such a distance.
If there really was one, he couldn't imagine how familiar that person would be with him.
But Meng Qingyan didn't give him the chance to ask.
He came with the wind behind him, opening his arms and hugging him tightly.
